How to make make things working:

PLEASE ENSURE you are using a 3D-Vision-SUITIBLE Driver SetupTo proove or achieve, I suggest reading + using this:

1. INITIAL-Setup (only needed once):

  • INSTALL the fix with 3DFM
  • or download it from below and EXTRACT the archives files to the game install folder: ...\Blairwitch\Binaries\Win64
  • START "00_UE4-UniversalFix-2_Config.cmd" located in  ...\Blairwitch\Binaries\Win64
  • READ/FOLLOW all the things in the tool
  • ONCE if you have entered the Config-Tool Quick-Start Menu, JUST close it
  • Please read/follow the section below ("Starting the game and Ingame Setup")

 
2. Starting the Game and Ingame-Setup:

- START the game via 3DFM, or via launcher/shortcut/game-executable

    • you may need to wait up to 15 min if you run the game for the first time!
    • The game may have HUGE INPUT LAGS the first time and while loading (NEW) areas (because of shader caching) ....its getting better the more you play.

    - Set FULLSCREEN in the game options.

      • If 3D will not work, try ALT+ENTER and ALT+ENTER again, or STRG+T
      • If 3D still not work, read the FAQs from the link below

      - USE HIGHEST available Anti-Aliasing settings

        • The fix sets AA and AO as good as suitible for 3D-Vision.
        • Any lower AA settings MAY can make your image grissly, but its up to you!

        - Additional In-Game Settings:

          • nothing special, everything is up to you!

          3. Key Assignments in the Game:

          - All key-options are shown in the On-Screen-Display in game
          - PLEASE RAD THIS for get an idea how AUTO-DEPTH-HUD works and can be made game-individually cool: Adaptation option for the automatic depth of the HUD / UI
          • F2                                        On-Screen-Help (OFF/ON)
          • NUMPAD -                         toggle low convergence (ON/OFF)
          • RBUTTON (Mouse)           lowers convergence for aiming (on key-hold) - by 0% (use 00_UE4-UniversalFix-2_Config.cmd for change)
          • XB_LEFT_TRIGGER      lowers convergence for aiming (on key-hold) - by 0% (use 00_UE4-UniversalFix-2_Config.cmd for change)

          4. Problems? Read FAQ here:

          UNREAL Engine 4 – Universal Fix 2


          - Still have problems??
            • PLEASE provide detailed information about the ERROR you got, as well as information about your hard (GPU) and software (driver/windows version) setup
            • PLEASE provide a save-game and an instrcution to see your problem there to rauti@inetmx.de / Discord or @ a MTBS thread

            1. Thank you for the work. Am I the only one who has a problem of textures (tingling) in the game on the cars of the beginning or at certain places on the ground?
              I tested with or without patch.
              Without 3D enabled there is no problem, hence my question.

            2. Dont know if or when I'll play it...but thanks a lot!!!!!!

            3. LOSTI, do not sentence "This Game is fixed using UE4-Universal Fix 2" when it is not completely, nor write "excellent" in the 3d Vision evaluation, when it is full of errors and artifacts... the game is NOT completely fixed. It's more a working in progress. And a tip: be less verbose in the description of the fixes you post... Anyway, thanks for your effort.

              1. Are you certain that you installed it properly? It's pretty unlikely Losti would mark it as excellent if it wasn't. It's far more likely you did not install it properly, or your system is broken.

                If you are actually interested in helping out- please go to the mtbs3d.com forums, and post examples of the screen shots you are seeing. Don't assume the fix is broken until you get confirmation from someone else.

              2. You should go digging in the sandpit better than trying things that only adults can do. If the simple installation of a 3D Fxies is too much for you, despite the description. Do you see an "OnScreenDisplay" after installing the fix? NO? UUUUUUPS ... yeah, then you've probably done something wrong !!! Is the OSD visible and you have problems? I didn't write the trouble shooting section for the UNIVERSAL-FIX-2 just to pass the time. Maybe you try a few things like that, which is under the point "You may need to change StereoFlagsDX10 to 4008 (d3dx.ini)" ??

                Another thing: The classification of the category "Excellent" is standard, but does not have to be. This is always the case when it is not a personal fix but when the UE4-UV2 is used, regardless of how it looks. If you are satisfied set Compat = "1" to Compat = "4" :-) LOL

                Why do you get such an answer from me? "What goes around, comes around!" REMEMBER THAT !!!

                Now you should spend a few minutes getting the game in perfect 3D. If that's too much for you, then you should just leave it. I have checked it several times, the answer for perfect 3D is above and not least in the description of the UE4-UV2 ... But investing a few minutes to test things is apparently too much to ask .... I am becoming more and more animated to exclude some from the 3D fixes because of unbelievable third party! ... unfortunately I can't ...

            4. Hi, I can't get this game to launch in 3D - with or without the fix (which I am using via "3D Fix Manager")

              - the game starts, and when the warning about PTSD etc happens - the game crashes to Desktop.

              Starting the game in 2D gives no such issues.

              Is there a fix? I assumed installing it via 3DFM would mean there are no issues.

              Thanks :-)

              1. If it's crashing without the fix installed when 3D is enabled that's a different issue. Most likely you need to hack/hex edit your nvwgf2um/nvwgf2umx.dlls, not sure if 3D Fix Manager does that or not or if there's an easier method. I've just been doing that part manually for now...

                Scroll down to Option 2: hex edit

              2. 3DFM/HelixVision will automatically fix the driver for you, but only in recent versions. You can't use any driver above 452.06 right now.

                Whenever you have problems like this, just revert to 425.31 where no hacks are needed, in order to figure out what's happening.

              3. Took a look here, and the 3DFM profile for Blair Witch has the wrong install path. Edit the profile, and add the "Relative Install Path" to be "Blairwitch\Binaries\Win64". For UE4 games, the install needs to be the BlairWitch-Win64-Shipping.exe location. We'll fix this in future builds.

              4. Thank you so much for taking the time to look into this. I had the same problem and thanks to you I can finally play the game. Who can I make a small donation to? There are 5 paypal addresses listed.

              5. If this is such a tough decision for you, then there are two options:
                1. You divide what you want to donate by 5 and donate to everyone.
                2. you visit this page https://numbergenerator.org/randomnumbergenerator/1-5 and donate to the paypal account that comes out there, according to the list above :-)

                Cheers :-)

                AND ENJOY the game!!!
