NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4





3D Vision fix for NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4. If you used a work in progress version in the past, make sure you reset the game profile with Nvidia Profile Inspector first.


Update (2019-07-15): decals are now fixed so I deleted the option to disable them. We have to thank Schwing for telling me how to make them appear on both eyes. After that, I fixed them. Also, the game is now playable with MSAA enabled. Just keep in mind that the game disables decals when MSAA is enabled (not my fault. I recommend just playing at higher resolution, which benefits cel shading more).


Fixed
- A lot of double stereoization problems that made the game unplayable.
- Some haloing issues.
- Decals, thanks to something done by Schwing.


Known issues
- Some bloom effects can be imperfect sometimes.
- Some patterns in some attack textures (Gaara's sand, Amaterasu flames, Shino's bugs, etc) are at screen depth. Meanwhile there was one similar to them that I placed at full depth.
- I don't recommend using the HUD depth hotkey. When subtitles load, they get corrupted if the HUD was at depth before they appeared. Besides, some main menu options flicker with this.


Installation
- Download this file and extract its contents in the "NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Ultimate Ninja STORM 4" folder, where "NSUNS4.exe" is.
- Run the game and let it overwrite the profile the first time.
- If for some reason the game displays an "Out of memory error" at launch (it happened to me in older drivers) you can try setting "StereoDefaultOn" to 0 in "d3dx.ini". Then you would have to enable 3D manually after starting the game.


Hotkeys (numbers aren't from the numpad)
F1: some convergence presets (better use the simpler controller hotkey instead).
- F2: HUD depth presets. Screen depth by default. Not recommended.
F3: HUD toggle. Not disabled by default. Not recommended unless it's for screenshots.
F4: bloom + depth of field + some other post processing coloring toggle. Not disabled by default.
F5: aspect ratio toggle, currently only in use for the HUD. Remnant from the old work in progress fix, but I decided to clean up the shader list for geometry elements, so this hotkey is useless now.
XB_RIGHT_THUMB: switch between 300 (default) and 60 convergence. Recommended for cutscenes and special moves, because there isn't any automatic convergence preset.
XB_LEFT_THUMB: toggle for 1500 convergence. Recommended for gameplay sections in the story mode where you control giant characters.
z (currently unused): cel shading thickness presets.
x: cel shading (type 1, post processing) toggle. Not disabled by default.
c: cel shading (type 2, thin lines) toggle. Not disabled by default.
v: some sky bloom in some cutscenes toggle. Not disabled by default.
b: barrel distortion toggle for story mode and the start of battles. Disabled by default, because it's painful to see in 3D.

  1. Hey, thanks for the fix!
    I have a different problem though. When the game goes in 3d, my glasses don't start and I get the Nvidia red overlay that says attempting to run 3d stereoscopic in non-stereo display mode. If I alt-tab the game the glasses start up, as soon as I tab back they go off.
    All my other games work in 3d no problem.
    I tried forcing a refresh rate 60 or 120, nothing works.
    Did you have a similar problem?
