Nine Sols


geo-11 fix for Nine Sols.


Fixed

  • Lighting/shadowing layer.
  • Haloing issues.
  • A convergence problem with some video files that were unwatchable in 3D.
  • Decals and haloing issues in the "shanhaiarchive" special epilogue branch.
  • Chromatic aberration and vignette.
  • Transparent wave effect when using the bow.

Known issues

  • The lighting/shadowing layer doesn't have proper depth or FOV awareness, so it may be imperfect during some rare camera transitions (not during normal gameplay when you control the character). It also controls the lights on a specific pyramid, so it will look imperfect there. Minor issue.

Installation
  • geo-11 fix (with build v0.6.164): download this file and extract its contents in the "Nine Sols" folder, where "NineSols.exe" is. Remember to edit "d3dxdm.ini" to change your "direct_mode" to the output you need (and/or upscaling). It's sbs by default.
  • Run the game.

Hotkeys
  • F1: convergence presets (120, 175, 240, 300). 175 by default. 240 aligns the main game layer with the HUD, at screen depth, although some moments in the game zoom in or out.

Notes
  • After you finish the main game, you may or may not want to play this special epilogue, which is a 1st person 3D thing: https://shop.redcandlegames.com/policy/-nine-sols-special-event-branch-switching-tutorial
  • The graphics in that branch are fixed and a 1 convergence preset is automatically triggered. I couldn't beat it, so I don't know if the sunny outdoors area at the end has broken shaders. It probably has. I won't bother with that. I just watched a youtube video. You even need to change your Steam displayed username to reach that part.
  • That branch uses a different Unity version than the main game and needs the "3DMigoto Loader.exe" file that is included with the fix. You would need to install the fix somewhere else (not in the game folder), run "3DMigoto Loader.exe", and then run the game.
