Rage 2 (Epic Games Store version)





3D fix for Rage 2 (Epic Games Store version), made with Helifax's Vk3DVision v4.19.19 driver

Special thanks to Helifax for adding FrameSync and the finishing touches to the fix.


Supported 3D modes

Steam OpenVR

HelixVision

nVidia 3D Vision

SBS and TNB formats


Required settings

Run the game and set the following graphics options:

Window Mode: Borderless

Motion Blur: Off

Anti-Aliasing: Off or FXAA

Player Self-Shadow: On

Shading Quality: High


Installation

Download this archive and extract it either in the Rage2 game folder or where you keep your 3D fixes.

Vk3DVision.ini (located in "Vk3DVision\Profiles\Rage2") is configured for 3DVision mode. Open this file and change the Stereo3DViewMode setting according to your hardware.

Go to "C:\Users\YourUser\Saved Games\id Software\Rage 2" and open "settings.ini". Make sure the Fullscreen and Windowed resolutions match your desktop resolution like in this example:

[Display]

Fullscreen=1

FullscreenWidth=1920

FullscreenHeight=1080

WindowedWidth=1920

WindowedHeight=1080

Once this file is configured, the in-game resolution must not be changed anymore. Use the Resolution Scale options instead.

Open Vk3DVision.exe and start the game.

Note that you may encounter issues starting the game through the Epic Launcher.

For a better compatibility, you can close the launcher and run the game manually by creating a shortcut for RAGE2.exe and using the command -epicportal in the Target field. (e.g. C:\games\Rage2\RAGE2.exe -epicportal)


Hotkeys

F1: Cutscenes convergence

F2: Vehicle convergence

F3: Custom HUD depth

Middle Mouse Button (MMB): UI + Crosshair depth on/off

F4-F8: Crosshair depth presets

F9: Low convergence weapon mode (experimental)

F10: Vk3DVision menu


Notes

This fix works only on Windows 10 with nVidia drivers v452.06 or newer. Earlier driver versions are not tested.

Use the MMB hotkey in menus, or in cutscenes if you see flickering text.

The F3 hotkey will push the HUD to full depth by default. This can also correct text glitches that sometimes appear during gameplay.

SSAO may have clipping issues in some rare indoor spots.

  6. Did it now somehow in side by side mode with all colors...!!!...don't remember how it suddenly worked...in any case it looks fantastic in real geometric 3D...!!!
    Many thanks Helifax for your excellent work...!!!

    Now only the Open VR mode should work without much hacking like with the Wolfensteins and Doom Ethernal...then everything is perfect..,* smile*

  11. Hi, I had to do settings that were different from yours. Like I set fullscreen, shading is on and only works with FXAA or whatever it is. It works now. I don't know if the game was patched but only way to make it work is different, if anyone wants help to make it work let me know. Also delete AppData\Local\id Software\Rage 2\Pipelines.cache - DEL Pipelines.cache to avoid crashes while loading game or what not, always del it if u find instability. Enjoy!
