great DHR. Thanks a million. I m'going to buy the game. Thanks so much...
ReplyDeleteThanks DRH. Terrific work!
ReplyDeleteI noticed that some sparks are render in one eye. The sable laser of Skywalker is render in one eye too. Is possible to fix ??
restart the game...happens to me a couple of time.
DeleteSable laser of skywalker is ok: http://photos.3dvisionlive.com/DHR/image/5aecc931e7e564a265000282/
This appears to be an issue with all frostbyte games. In DA:I and the original version this would happen between multplayer matches also. Such a pretty but shitty engine =)
DeleteHello DHR. Thanks so much. Works great under windows 10 last nvidia drivers but I get some trouble with the weapon ...The 3D render is weird...like in "one eye"...Best regards.
ReplyDeleteHappens to me a couple of times, restarting the game fix the issue....this is a common issue with frostbite3 engine, this happens to me in others frostbite3 games.
DeleteGreat work ! ty so much ! btw, do we need to set postproccesing to low (disable refcletions on floors)? setting on medium/high/ultra reflections look wrong
ReplyDeleteNo, you can use any PP...I play with PP = ULTRA and don't have any issues with reflections. Look the screenshot posted here that have reflections all over the place.
Deletemb this is different in sp, cause in mp they are a bit off, i need to check sp
ReplyDeleteF'n amazing DHR!!! Great work.. Made my day playing this in 3D. So next level!! Playing around now to see if I can get it work with SLI as it seems to crash unless I disable it (plays perfect when disabled). Haven't read up on it much yet, so I will see if there is any info out on the Nvidia forums on how to make SLI work. Such great work! Really is awesome. Love that you crazy smart dudes release fixes for us to enjoy. Will be making a donation
ReplyDeleteHi guys, it appears the fix dont work anymore
ReplyDeleteanyone having the same problem as me? it is all a mess now
same here, all lights messed up (one eye) and game crashes if fix is installed.
ReplyDeleteI will check today night.....i see the games was updated, maybe something change.
DeleteI just check with the game updated and all is working fine. Maybe is some specific stage? i test a few.
DeleteAlso i'm playing in win7....maybe is a win10 issue.
Fix seems to be crashing game.
ReplyDeleteJust test and i don't have crashes with the fix.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
Deletesame here, game crash with fix. Both on win7 and 10
ReplyDeleteI also tested this, and it was still working correctly for my system. Win7, latest Driver 398.11. No crash, 3D is correct.
DeleteHaving some strange crashes with 3D in this game. Will run fine in 3D at 1920 x 1200. If I change the resolution higher in game options (1920 x 1440 or 2560 x 1440) it crashes. I have tried running the game in 2D changing reslolution to 2560 x 1440 then restarting in 3D, it crashes. Win 10, 399.24 drivers, Asus PG27VQ.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI am having the same issue. Crashes on start up. unable to get to the Screen menu. Window 10 playing @ 1440p.
Thanks DHR.
First, thank you!
ReplyDeleteBest 3D Vision experience! Looks so good.
But the HUD is a bit broken since a update. As an example, the indication for the remaining tickets on a stage is not readable. Or some target indication for enemy ships on Hoth or Geonosis. Groupicons for the Squad and HUB for the skills too.
The crosshair works fine.
Thanks
Crashes game with latest build on Windows 10. I also have an Nvidia card.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look like this is related to our fix. I just tried this, and I get a crash as well. But it crashes even with no fix installed, and 3D disabled. Won't even run in 2D.
DeleteRelated thread.
Game seems to be pretty buggy. After doing a complete reinstall of the game from scratch, it's now working without crashing at launch. I still get crashes in-game, but that appears to be common.
Delete3D is working correctly, fix is working correctly. Driver 417.22, Win10 1803.
Try reinstalling the game from scratch, after an uninstall of the game. I know it's 75G and a drag, but that was the only way I got it working. Delete the main game folder, and most likely the settings folder in Documents.
I have just installed it, and tried the fix (from 3DFixManager). The ingame 3D is very nice, but menus are all messed up, as it is the HUD too (except for crosshair). Is this normal/known or is it just my case?
ReplyDeleteI'm playing through this game now, and I would say that the messed up HUD is normal. There are a lot of pieces to the HUD and pause menu UIs that are broken, but don't really impact the overall play. If it really bugs you, you could make a key override toggle to set convergence to zero (like ` key for example) for use when in menus.
DeleteThanks. I have just tried what you suggests, it is a kind of workaround when moving through menus or even the pause menu, thanks, I did not thought on that. Still, it is impossible to aim in the 'air' combat missions (x-wing, etc), I thought that when the fix says HUD is fixed, that the in-game icons were fixed. I guess it is not possible or (maybe the last updates have broken the fix?).
DeleteI like to play with big separation (near maximum of stock separation scale) and overall I find the HUD issues too distracting for me. I guess I'll keep playing this game in 2D for a while. A pity.
Not sure, seems OK to me. I'm about half-way through the campaign. I'm not playing MP.
DeleteWhen I do the air combat I don't have any trouble. The crosshair and aim diamond seem to be at a fixed depth, not dynamic, but since they are both at the same depth, you only have to get your crosshair in the aim diamond and it kills them. Using torpedos is even easier, just have to be close to have it lock on.
Other in-game HUD like the circles around G activation spots are maybe not at perfect depth, but also are pretty clear where they activate and don't have eye rivalry issues.
What other in-game icons are you seeing that seem unplayable? Maybe make screenshots and post to Phereo, and I can tell if it's the same as what I'm seeing.
I have uploaded several screenshots to Phereo, these are the links:

It is hard to get better shots in the air combat one. Tx!
Thanks for those snapshots. The broken GUI in pause/setting screens is what I see too. It's a real mess, but I think DHR made the right call here, it's not used often, and it's extremely tedious to get that working.
DeleteFor the last couple of shots while flying, my screens are different. Those diamond shape attack spots are screendepth for you, and they are depth for me. The lower right extras HUD is separated into pieces for you, and for me it's all one and still readable and not distracting.
I'm playing Origin version, and now playing the real version, not the Trial. I had a *lot* of problems getting it running at all, and had to do a full reinstall from scratch. During that I found out that the EA updater is hopelessly broken, and creates damaged installations. Their 'Repair' tool is also pathetic, saying everything was fine, when even the directory structure was different.
Maybe try two things.
First, remove the fix with uninstall.bat, the run again and see if it seems the same. It might be that the fix is not working at all in your case.
Second, uninstall the game, and reinstall from scratch. This is painful I know, because it's 75G of download, but it is a possible source of error.
Ops! Sorry I have posted my answer as new comment. I repeat it here, to keep in arranged. If possible, please, delete the other.
DeleteThanks for your comments and help! I was going to test it, and Origin has updated the game, now it does not even launch. I get a black screen for a moment and returns to desktop, no messages, nothing. Even in 2D with 3DVision disabled in NV Control Panel... It seems that this last update has broken the game...Will see if I wait to next update or if I try to fight out a solution.
Ok, the problem game not launching was, as in BF1, because after updating in Origin, there is still a new update (small, few megas) that even if downloaded and applied, it is not really applied, I have to do a clean boot of Win10 then apply this little update, reboot with all normal services activated and play. Now it launchs, but the problem is still there. I know the fix is there working, because I can change crosshair depth with p key, and F1 shows the hotkeys available… Still, no matter which crosshair depth I use, the problems described are always there (specially in the x-wing mission)...Uninstalled fix with bat file, and applied, no luck. I can redownload the whole thing, although I am not keeping my fingers crossed...
DeleteThanks for the tip on the mini-update. I had same forced update to dead scenario. Freakin' EA Origin. Gaah.
DeletePlayed again here, and I'm wrong- the icons in the HUD are all messed up on the flying section, just like your pictures. The reason I didn't notice is because I had the convergence dialed so that it looked good to me, which happened to make the targeting circles at a good depth (I said diamonds above, those show up at screen depth, but you shoot the circles.)
So, this is playable for me, if I dial the convergence and depth to put the circles at the same depth as the crosshair.
Well, at least I know I am not alone/suffering some particular behaviour. Thank you for confirmation, I'll try to adjust separation and convergence to make it bearable (together with a hotkey for menus). BTW, which separation are you using for this game (convergence, I can adjust it following the separation)?
DeleteHere's an example of what I see: http://phereo.com/image/5c4c1fbf658b6a8f71000061
DeleteThe diamonds are at screen depth and annoying, but they disappear most of the time. The targeting circles and my crosshair are set to 80% depth, which also makes it easier to focus past the screen depth pieces. I think that those diamonds can also be turned off in settings, but am unsure. On projector I play at 100% depth, but I think what really matters is depth of the crosshair, set with P key.
Thanks for your comments and help! I was going to test it, and Origin has updated the game, now it does not even launch. I get a black screen for a moment and returns to desktop, no messages, nothing. Even in 2D with 3DVision disabled in NV Control Panel... It seems that this last update has broken the game...Will see if I wait to next update or if I try to fight out a solution.
ReplyDeleteafter last update, game doesn't launch anymore, the same in 2D, windows, last nvidia driver and windows version ...any idea...was hoping to play it in 3D ...Thanks
ReplyDeleteSuggestion- uninstall the game, then reinstall from scratch. I found that their updater software is completely broken, and will 'update' you to a broken build that cannot be fixed. The 'verify' option is also crap and does not actually work. The only solution I found to the problem was to bite the bullet and redownload from scratch. Sucks, but you know, EA.
DeleteHi Bo3b, I tried with your proposal, but still the same, game doesn't start in 2D as well in 3D ...go to hell EA and origin, always got problems …:-(
ReplyDeleteYeah, Origin is totally lame, I still hate EA. I had a lot of problems getting it to run even in 2D as well. Totally sucks, the game is pretty impressive and fun in 3D.
DeleteOne last suggestion, delete the settings folder and game saves, so that it's as clean as possible. I think the settings is found in your Documents folder. There are some other possible suggestions at: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/bd-p/star-wars-battlefront-ii-tech-issues-en
I think the crash happens because it's trying to change screen resolution and blows it. So if it doesn't have to change resolution, it can get past that spot.
After installing GeForce experience, it's launching in 2D, but if I try with the helixmod fix, the game does start with a small screen and when I want to put it in full screen, it diseppears ...impossible to go further ...tried with 1080p and 1440p ...
DeleteAs a data point, I just tested this again, and it was working correctly for my system. That means that game updates didn't fundamentally break anything, including the 3D once in-game. Win10 1803, Driver 418.81. SBS custom shader was also working.
DeleteI can't remember exactly what it took to get it working, but I seem to recall that I had to get the game working in the resolution I wanted, with no fix installed. Then enabled 3D, no fix. And lastly fix enabled, which brought up the driver profile installation request (elevated permissions).
working in 2D and 3D without the fix, but 3D not good, fair, but as soon as I want to put the fix, the game starts but the screen disappears as soon as arriving in the general menu ….windows 10 1809 and 419.35 driver ...
DeleteTo bo3b ...I found, just need to disable "origin in game SWBFII" in the properties, before launching the game and now, it works fine :-)
DeleteGreat! Thanks for letting us know. I most likely turned all that off before running because I never trust overlays with our stuff.
DeleteHi, I can run it in 2D, 3D without the fix, windows 1809 and nvidia 418.91 driver, but when I install the DHR fix, I have the main screen and then back to windows desk … I run the uninstall.bat file from the fix, run again the fix and then can play in 3D, but not perfect ???
ReplyDeletein origin disable in game overlay there are tons of guides on google on how to disable this if you dont know how
DeleteHi, with a correct crosshair the HUD elements are not fixed with this mod, there are invisible. Is there a solution ?
ReplyDeleteThe new version doesn't work for me, I get a black screen all the time and it activates my shutter glasses so it's trying the 3D. Is the old mod from 2018 still available for download somewhere, I would like top try that one too?
ReplyDeleteHi, runs really good with 425.31 drivers, but if updated with 3d fix manager I got or black screen or yellow lines screen in 3d mode. With no 3d runs well. Also others 3d games are playing well with no issues (a plage tale works ok)...coming back to 425.31 drivers works well again...
ReplyDeleteThis worked perfectly until the last windows update or the last NVIDIA driver update which both took place at the same time; I am not sure which caused it though. The errors could be related to both the last Windows update and the NVIDIA driver update because the last Windows update was meant to address vulnerabilities of graphics cards. After the Windows update I started getting an administrator prompt for Run DL 32 after clicking on play in 3D which I had never gotten before. What are the correct settings that I should be using through 3D fix manager, Origin, and the in game video settings if I am using 3D TV Play instead of NVIDIA 3D Vision? I don't think my 3D TV is compatible with HDMI Checkerboard and I was fine playing in 1280 X 720 @ 60 FPS. I also had the same problem that Vidalsh described above with a black screen or yellow lines. This game was truly a masterpiece when it worked with lasers flying everywhere and an epilepsy warning added by EA on 7/20/19. If anyone can help me get this working again that would be much appreciated. Battlefield V stopped working for me at the same time with the same symptoms.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I always recommend turning all that automatic update junk off. It's always different, not better, and tends to break stuff. You can tell Windows to buzz off for a year. And the Windows update nearly certainly updated the driver too. Driver update for vulnerabilities you can do manually from NVidia if it's important to you. (it's not a giant risk.)
DeleteRunDL32 prompt is normal and that's 3Dmigoto asking for permission to change the game profile. If you say no it won't set the profile bits properly and won't run in 3D.
This game tends to be really fragile. Try not to change anything while you are playing it. I had a scenario where I had to reinstall it from scratch, because their own updater created a bad install.
Best bet in 3D Vision land is to do a dual-boot system, where you just boot to your known good installation that doesn't change.
Hi, now with the new windows update 3d fix manager doesn´t want to run anymore.
ReplyDeleteIs there one 3d fix manager version working?
thanks.
EDIT: solved
ReplyDeletewas riva turner from afterburner. Curious, if you select in riva turner 3d fix manager as "none" then works well. if not, 3d fix doesn´t starts.
Thanks for the follow up, good to know. This games is super fussy, very unreliable. Small changes in different things like overlays have caused it to crash at launch for me. Hard to keep running.
DeleteMy experience as well. It seems to randomly CTD all the time when loading into missions. I am about to give up I think since I started trying to play again recently. I haven't had this particular issue with other frostbite games
DeleteOne thing I discovered when trying to play this- Origin can create corrupted game installs while its doing updates. I'd had numerous updates go by, and any 'verify' operation said everything was fine. However, I did a full uninstall, delete directory, reinstall- and it fixed my crashes. I'd saved the prior directory for experiments, and doing a diff on it versus the clean install showed it was not the same! Origin is still a piece of shit today.
DeleteShort story- do a complete uninstall and reinstall of the game.
Yeah Unfortunately I have tried that and it's still virtually unplayable. Just curiously what version of windows and driver version are you using? I might try with my windows 7 install instead.
DeleteThanks a million for such a great fix. Everything looks perfect, except for the human skin shader. it keeps flickering in my case. Anything I should adjust in the configuration? Thanks again!!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the depth of 3D is not enough, so the sense of the space is somewhat underwhelmed. Should I change the convergence in the cmuProfile.ini or in the game directory? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJust picked this up for free on the "Epic" give-away - superb work, DHR!!
ReplyDeleteIt kept crashing on launch, disabling the Origin got it working for me.
ReplyDeleteI am unsure but P appears to not work to alter the cross hair which is making the Flight mmissions more difficult than they have to me. I wish could move the hud in alot further than it is.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the screenshots anymore but is this for the original Battlefront II in 2005 or the EA one?
ReplyDeleteI just fixed the image. Based on that and the timing, I'd say newest version.
Deletei was trying to use the fix, but i only get a black screen
ReplyDeletethank you for the effort
Hi there, i tried the fix with Geo-11 and i have some issues with the Trees (the smaller ones) on Endor/Naboo. Those are not rendered at right screendepth. Is this a problem with Geo-11 or is the fix broken after a patch?
ReplyDelete
