Fallout Shelter [DX11]

Description:

The game had a recent update to include some story lines from the Vault 33 and the TV show. The game is Free-To-Play. It seemed like a good time to add a geo-11 fix.

The game plays really well, and looks terrific in 3D.

 

How to install:

- Download the 7z file, and extract to game directory where "FalloutShelter.exe" resides. 

How to play:

The key aspect here is that convergence needs to be tuned to your preference. I've started it with a good default for 27" monitor. Change dm_convergence or dm_separation in d3dxdm.ini. You can also use the hotkeys.

The game has a lot of HUD, and I've created a regex to move all HUD components to a different depth. By default this is 10% into the screen.

However, when you zoom in and out to look at different rooms, the HUD can be either too close or too far, so there is some compromise involved.  You can also play with different depths using the backtick key (`) to toggle between different HUD depths.

Remaining Issues:

This is maybe an 95% fix, as there are times when the HUD interferes with the view. Also, I've managed to make the cursor match the HUD depth, which makes selections easier, but the software cursor has a black box instead of a proper background mask, so it looks a bit ugly. Plays well though.

In general it doesn't really require any precision because it was originally designed for fat fingers.

 

This is a geo-11 version, set by default to sbs.  nvidia_dx9 works, and performance seems unaffected, probably because it was originally a mobile game.

 Also tested as working well using AMD 9700 XT. 

Updated: 12-25-25 with cursor now following HUD depth.
