Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - 3D-Vision Fix - DSS/Losti - V1.4


Introduction get it working (follow the septs 1 by one!!):
(READ CAREFULLY!!! Please thake the time to read the whol lines one by one....DO NOT bother me with issues that caused by NOT READING THIS step by step!!!!!)

- ignore all writing errors in my post/comments/descriptions ^^
- uninstall old fixes!!! (delete the ShaderFixes folder from the game!!!)
- get the lastest NVIDIA driver, uninstall old one with  Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) if any troubles occure ... game seems to be stable with this fix and driver V 416.16
- download and extract the fix archive to "...\Shadow Tactics Blades of the Shogun\"
- start the game via "ShadowTactics.cmd"
- WAIT !! do not press any key.... WAIT until the main screen is telling you "press any key to continue" ... Press F10 here !!!
- once main menue is present, press F10 several times
- if the game crashes while loading or before or after ALT+TAB to the OOPPPS!!! mesage and press enter, reload the game until it is working!
==> If you stuck: press windows button and enter tskill "shadow tactics" to kill it
- HINT: For HudDepth to be OK after start, playing and return, just ALT+TAB out of the game and return to set the main menue depth = OK.


Ingame Settings:
- everything you like (...i think...)


Constants in d3dx.ini:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;HUD DEPTH;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
z

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;MOUSE DEPTH;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
z2


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;NEED FOR MOUSE DEPTH SCALING wotking with > convegence 60 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
w2
(start with 0,4 and try 0,3 and 0,5 for your convergence and see the mouse scaling)

==> DO NOT TUCH the rest of the constants!!!!!


Key Settings (Keyboard/Mouse):


Depth cycle
"R"
1. Medium Depth
2. max depth (i think ^^)
3. Depth for making the view-range of enemys vissible ... call it tactical depth ^^

Mouse-Depth adjusment
"."
slightly adjust your mouse depth

Disable/Enable MouseCoursor)
","


Key/Depth Setting - Customization
- if you dont like the settings the fix comes with, you have to find your own likes, choose your desired separation, convergence and HUD-DEPTH in the game 
- to see your convergence/separation set hunting=1 in the d3dx.ini
- Set it to 0 if finished (Press F10 again or resart the game) -- BE AWARE of pressing other keys of the NUM-PAD while hunting is enabled.
- Find a suitible separation/convergence/HUD depth (z constant), as well as mouse depth (z2)
- edit the d3dx.ini
- set your desired Separation and Convergence and Constants for keys named "Key3_sightview"
==> Convergence higher than 64 needs w2 lower than 0.4
==> I sugest to takte the gam as it is and choose one of the 3 presets. Otherwhilse you have to experiment with w2/z/z2 until the game matches for you.
==> Questions? ask me via EMAIL!!!!

Acknowledgements

- THANK you DHR for all your continues support!!!
- THANK you DSS fixing the Unity Engine and pave the way for DHR's UNITY UIVERSAL FIX!
- THANK YOU NeIVIeSiS reporting issues
- Big thanks to Bo3bDarkStarSword, Flugan and all others involved in creating 3DMigoto; an amazing wrapper that allows us to fix our favourite DX11 games in 3D Vision!
NVIDIA for creating 3D-Vision as a tech!


Food for Thought:
- Any 3D-Vision fix will take many hours of developnment, even if its a fix from a prev. fixed engine or an update of an exiting fix. We do THIS because of the satisfaction getting things right and helping others and keep 3D-Vision alive , not because of any profit in general.
--- This fix lasts 7 hrs to develop for me and "some" beers and cigarettes. Please find the donation addresses below to refund some of it .... OF CAUSE only if you want ---

  2. This game is GREAT! LOVE it!!! It's super you can save after each little success.

    Fix is working for me on driver 441.87 with 3D driver 425.31, installed via your (Losti) driver install tool with Win 10 v.1809. Stand on your rooftop and shout this URL to all the men, women and children of the land!!!: https://www.mtbs3d.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=23277

    (so far I have stopped auto updates of Windows using WuMgr v0.9a by David Xanatos https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/wumgr.html Tell the world!).

    1. If this game was not free on Epic last year I would have never known about it, much less ever tried playing it.

  3. OK, now this IS a strange situation. The first 4 to 5 gaming sessions, maybe 6 times went without any trouble at all. I pressed F10 as described, first on 'press any key...' and then press again several times. I often only needed to press once when the menu appeared; no issues. So I played several sessions, and now it always crashes when any quick save is loading. I have tried restarting levels, restarting the game several times as described etc. Always the OOPS message. What I don't understand is why it went so well and then it suddenly broke. So what is F10 initiating here, the Migoto hook? Why press several times after the menu loads? I read it has something with the hook not registering, correct? I am curious about this as I have been studying a little bit of C# for Unity. Is there a cache I could try flushing somewhere? This game is good enough to me that I'd resort to playing in 2D if necessary, but I don't want to give up on 3D yet!

    P.S. I'm on 441.87

  4. OK now I just loaded the game no problem, surely as I just submitted my last message. Ack! I'd still like to know if there's anything else to try different next time, and I am still curious about the hook issue...

    1. So how is the fix? Did you finish the whole game with it? I tried applying it to the demo, but it doesn't work with the demo, and I'd like to get some more info before buying the full game.

      thx

    2. Unity games often changes its Version to another with an Update. The fix was working well. If you have issues with it now, it might be because of some game Engine Update. Please let me know the game Engine Version by checking the exe properties.

    3. Where do I find the "Engine Version"? In exe details, I see this:
      File version: 5.4.4.21312
      Product version: 5.4.4.8016704

    1. yeah, just tried the full version of the game and it's the same thing. Lots of weird crashes. I managed to get to the menu by running the .cmd TWICE consecutively but when I started a new game I couldn't even get to the beginning of the mission as it froze with the "oops" message. I refunded the game.

    2. Have you tried The driver mentioned above ?
