DmC Devil May Cry - 3D Vision fix

DmC Devil May Cry - 3D Vision fix.




Fixed:
- Shadows;
- water reflections;
- some on screen effects(flares and etc);
- fog/dust

Screenshots gallery.

Remaining issues:
- Still has few more wrong effects which is hard to catch.
- Water reflection cut off in the right side of the screen.

Instructions:
Download this archive. Unpack downloaded archive in to the " Win32 " game folder (example : ":\Steam\SteamApps\common\DmC Devil May Cry\Binaries\Win32").


Y - key switches(cycle) HUD depth (3 variants).
U - key  switches (cycle) depth presets (2 variants).

Holding "T" key activate low separation preset (for cut scenes). You can use something like "JoyToKey" to bind this key to pad.

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. You can set custom settings for both presets and for cut scenes preset as well (when holding  "T" key, set custom separation/depth  settings and press F7. Release  "T" key ).

Tested only with 310.90 driver and Steam version of the game.

    1. I just played first level fine so I think this is the weird driver issue. Sometimes when driver installs only 3D vision has issues with certain games (I have no idea).

      Uninstall your driver and reinstall.

  4. Great work, works very well for me, your fix is definitly a great improvement. I set up convergence quite similiar to low profile, because it always hurts my eyes if everything "comes out ouf your monitor" but that is of course my taste of playing in 3d. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

  10. i got one question regarding convergence,may be a little noobish question, what is the best way to set an optimum level of convergence "not too low or too high " while having a decent amount of depth as well ?

    i read somewhere that to set a suitable convergence level is to run the game in 3d while not wearing your 3D glasses and set depth to around 25% , then adjust the convergence level until an object in the middle of the screen "for example Dante`s sword" is seen as a single object not a doubled object , then increase the depth to your desired level, is that the best way to set convergence ? or there is a better way to set it ?

    please advise, thanks in advance

    1. There is no right/wrong.

      Basically you can go as high as your tolerance. Some people cant exceed 2D like at all because it bothers them. Some people make you scratch your head over how they can handle it.

    2. My only suggestion is to at least make models "2d" with glasses off at closest point(go up a wall and force camera on you or use cinematic). If its not at least at this point game will seem much flater then it should. Going past "2D+Depth" is up to you though.

      EDIT: I was talking about convergence. Depth you can go as high as your display allows without ghosting that bothers you imo. Ussually only people experience headaches/eye tiredness/whatever is if they go past tolerance on convergence.

  19. Hello!
    Sorry for writing here (and my english), but I don't know where to make requests.
    Could you make a fix for TERA Online? I's going to be F2P on 5th of february.
    It is already playable but it has some minor bugs with shadows and water.
    I would be very grateful for a fix! :)

  20. Helix, I don't want to hijack your thread here, but both Dark Souls files you have linked have the same scaled hud. Any chance you could upload the one with non-scaled hud or provide instructions on how to modify files. Thanks for all the good work on improving 3D vision.

  23. Please help! Whenever the Helix package is in place the game crashes on startup. I've tried the drivers listed as tested, the latest drivers, disabling SLI, etc. Nothing seems to work - but as soon as I remove d3d9.dll the game works fine. Any ideas?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Help please! Whenever I run the game with the Helix DLL it crashes on startup. Remove the dll and everything works fine. I've tried the drivers listed as well as the latest drivers, disabling SLI, Steam community is disabled, etc. If I use the DEBUG dll then the game will at least startt but crashes right after the intro logo movies. Any ideas? I bought this game specifically because it was Helix ready but now the fix prevents the game from running at all. :( Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!! The end of the LOG.txt seems funny to me, but I don't know. It ends in this (repeats for a bit):

    2. I've never had a problem with Afterburner before but that was indeed the problem! Thanks so much for the quick reply and sorry for the false alarm. Now off to enjoy this game! :) Thanks again.

  26. Wow, thanks for this fix! It looks amazing! And for people that use 3D Vision Surround:

    Great work Helix!

  27. great, i'm so upset capcom is not supporting 3dvision anymore, they did a good job on resident evil 5 and now again the same problems like the older games, too bad.
    thanks helix for this fix, i've not purchased this game yet, but i hope you will be able to sort out also resident evil 6 that really sucks in 3d right now and i suppose is using the same engine of this one.

    Also, is it possible to donate you some cash for your effort ? maybe a donate button somewhere ? i think i will not be the only one that want to support your job.

    best
