Symphony

Fix By Eincrou


3D Video Before Fix

3D Video of Reflections Removed

DESCRIPTION

When I bought this game last fall, I was really surprised that it worked so well in S3D. It has not been rated by Nvidia.  The only real problem is that the reflections render at screen depth.

The reflections are annoying, even in 2D, since they effectively double the amount of crap on screen.  I tried to use the Helix Mod to see if the reflections could be removed, but unfortunately it was not possible to load the game with the debugger.

I just tried again, using the launcher Helix created, and I was able to use the debugger to find and disable these reflections.  The game is now a flawless stereoscopic 3D experience.

This fix:

  1. Disables all reflections.

Remaining Issues:

  1.  None

Change log:

  • v1: (2013-03-22)
    • Initial fix to remove reflections

HOW TO GET IT WORKING

  1. Extract the zip to the same location as Symphony.exe.  For me, this is:
    [...]\Steam\steamapps\common\Symphony\
  2. Before launching the game, run HeliXmodLauncher.exe.  Keep it running in the background for the entire time you play.

Bioshock 2 (DX9 only)

Bioshock 2 - by mana84


Description:

- Smoke and fog effects are fixed
- Lighting and shadow issues are fixed
- Water effects are fixed
- Reflections and refractions on glass surfaces are fixed
- Added 3d  crosshair (based on real depth values)
- 3D HUD

The game had a lot of 3d stereo issued shaders, I've fixed thousands of them and I believe the fix should be 100% complete... make me know in case of other issues.

How to install/play:
- Extract "Bioshock2_fix.zip" archive in your "..\Bioshock\Builds\Binaries\" directory of the game, i.e. for steam version it's "..\Steam\SteamApps\common\Bioshock 2\SP\Builds\Binaries\".
- Start the game in DX9, i.e. create a shortcut for Bioshock2Launcher.exe, go to properties and append "-dx9" to the target field. Otherwise, if you have steam version, you can right-click on the game, click on properties->general->set launch options and add "-dx9" in the field.

I - key switches(cycle) HUD depth (3 variants).
U - key  switches (cycle) depth presets (3 variants).

If you want to save your custom convergence settings press "U" and select required preset, set custom separation/depth settings , then press F7 and your settings will be saved in the config file.

Medal of Honor (2010) Single Player

Fix by Eincrou

Updated March 21, 2013


3D Video Showcase

Depth Preset 2 (0.4)

Depth Preset 3 (0.8)

Created using Steam version. Game version 1.0.4.0

DESCRIPTION

This game runs single player and multiplayer separately.  Not only were each developed by different developers, they use different engines as well.  SP was developed by Danger Close in the Unreal Engine 3, and MP was created by DICE in the Frostbite engine.  This fix is for only the single player.

The single player campaign for this game is pretty awful, but the game works well in S3D.  Nvidia has rated it "Good."  The only constant effects anomaly is shadows, but that problem can be eliminated by turning shadows to low.

The UI is problematic with everything at screen depth, except, surprisingly, the crosshair.  The crosshair renders at max depth, though it appears to slightly shift depth at times.

This fix attempts to address the UI, but unfortunately many elements are on the same vertex shaders and on the same textures, so I couldn't give icons/text above objects in the world more depth than the ammo/weapon display.

As such, this fix has three depth presets, all of which are easily customized to what you want.  See the instructions section.

This fix:

  1.  HUD given depth.

Remaining issues:

  1. Smoke/fog effects cause halos around objects. There isn't much smoke in this game, so it's a minor issue.
  2. Strange colors render in one eye in areas, most notably the helicopter gunner mission.
  3. Flares in the cave on the last mission render based upon convergence, and are at the wrong depth.
  4. Full screen sniper scope renders at screen depth.

Change log:

  • v2: (2013-03-21)
    • Additional HUD/Menu elements given depth.
  • v1: (2013-03-18)
    • Initial fix for UI depth.

HOW TO GET IT WORKING

  1. Extract the zip file to the same location as moh.exe.  For me, this is:
[...]\Steam\steamapps\common\Medal of Honor\Binaries
      2.  Depth is disabled when the game loads.  Press a preset key to select a depth preset.

Preset Hotkeys:

This fix uses hotkeys to control the depth of the user interface. The depth is off when the game starts. The default settings are:
  • Preset 1 Key: , (comma) Default: 0 depth.
  • Preset 2 Key: . (period) Default: 0.4 depth.
  • Preset 3 Key: / (forward slash) Default: 0.8 depth. 

Custom User Interface Depth:

You can set the UI depth to whatever you want by modifying the Const3 value under each preset.  This has to be a floating point value, converted to hexadecimal.  There are three presets, so you can have three different depths.

You can also change the hotkeys.  Use the keycode number in the first column on this website:
