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:

    How to change a 3D Vision Profile and List of games on wrong profile

    How to change a 3D Vision Profile

    3D vision uses a system that I don't really agree with to profile games. Basically someone who works at Nvidia has to every once in a while give game's 3D vision profiles. The game will launch with a message like "This game" Rated Fair, etc. Now the problem is sometimes a game has wrong profile either due to negligence or game is old and a better profile is available now. Then there are games that DO NOT have a profile which will automatically use default. Not to mention games on certain profiles have ISSUES FOR SLI/NON SLI USERS. So if you are interested I will teach you how to give games profiles.

    Tools Needed 
    Nvidia Inspector - DOWNLOAD HERE  - GUIDE HERE[BY DHR] -
    Required for Steam and game's we can not rename the exe or we want to SLI/AA settings.

    Profiles I use to test.
    [1]Prototype "Prototype.exe"
    [2]Aion "Aion.exe"
    [3]The Witcher "Witcher.exe"
    [4]Mass Effect 2  "MassEffect2.exe" / Call of Duty: World at War "CODwaw.exe"

    [1] Prototype and aion are my bread and butter for checking. In games where effects "ghost" or shadows are off it has a chance of working. Sometimes when using either profile it will not look work with a person on sli/non sli. Basically if a person says use prototype and it doesnt work for you, try aion OR vice versa however sometimes it will not work at all.
    [2] Read above.
    [3] The Witcher is a profile that fixes model issues. It was kind of famous when witcher 1 came out, basically fingers would grow to be a mile long. Basically the closer the camera is to a model the more likely it will distort or convergence brings the model past 2D into "pop-out". They added a new profile and it seems to cover these issues.
    [4] Mass Effect 2/World at war are if you have a game and you need an nvidia laser sight. Its pretty rare you will need/be able to do this. I also use mass effect 2 as a Helix Modder and I cant get nvapi to work right[No idea].

    If you know of any games on wrong profile please leave a comment below. Please be brief but if you want you can write issues it has but keep in mind people will need to check comments for games.
    Or if a new profile that you can confirm is different then ones mentioned besides Googleearth [It doesnt really have a good function for gaming]

    Sonic & Sega All Stars Transformed

    By: MindGameStudios


    Removed: Shadows
    Optional Hud Depth options.
    Press F2 for default Hud Depth.
    Press F3 for further Hud Depth.
    Press F4 to remove Hud (For casual play/ Screen shots)

    REQUIRED INFORMATION:
    Retail Box version: This fix will not work unless you rename ASN_App_PcDx9_Final.exe to prototype.exe. 
    Steam/Origin version: This fix will not work unless you download nvidia inspector and remove ASN_App_PcDx9_Final.exe from ASN_App_PcDx9_Final.exe's profile [Or sonic all stars transformed]. Then add it to prototype's profile. If you need more detailed instructions CLICK HERE.

    Issues Remaining:
    Hud will cause viewing difficulty when drivers are closer to camera/your driver. If this is an issue for you reducing your depth/convergence setting is recommended.

    Install to main folder[.exe location]
