Risen 3D fix
  1 / 2    
Hi all, I have made a fix for Risen which fixes the skybox, halos in almost everything and shadows. The game is a bit old now, but with the fix it still looks very good in 3D. Thanks to Bo3b for his shaderhacking school. Download and screenshots are available on github [url]https://github.com/mx-2/3d-fix[/url]

Thanks a lot mate - I will def. buy it NeXT time it's on sale... I have Risen 2: Dark Waters thoug, thought it was worth tryin, but as expectet it was a no go :/ Would you consider fixing that too ? It's more or less the same issues - shadows and perhaps some lights (Bloom), skybox is ok in this one..

If the stars at night are still too close, reduce convergence further. The only effect that has to be disabled are water reflections. After adjusting this during my playthrough, I have seen no problems with lights. Do you have an example for this problem? Maybe I'll look at this if I have some time in some weeks.

3 pics posted, it's from the start of the game, it's night - haven't any daylight Pictures yet.. I love high convergence in 3person games - so if I have to chose between shadows and convergence - I'll chose convergence anytime ( but sure I'd prefer both ) Pics 1. Skybox at night - I can't see any issues at all, uses borderland profile. 2. Water at night - no problems, I don't no if daylight causes any, but most times it can be solved with the profiles.. 3. Ligt reflections on walls are wrong - they are rendered in mono, I think... I will be very gratefull if you can find some time to look at it :)

I hope we get a patch at some point, but it's a decent substitute.

[b]Update: Shadows are now working with any convergence[/b] @bo3b It seems that there is another "prime directive" for shadows/PixelShaders: pos.x += sep * (1 - c * conv / depth) where c is a constant that has to be found by trial and error.

It seems that there is another "prime directive" for shadows/PixelShaders:
pos.x += sep * (1 - c * conv / depth)
where c is a constant that has to be found by trial and error.

Installation:
Download and extract this file into the directory which contains the Risen.exe (should be ./bin) preserving the directory structure so that "DX9Settings.ini" is in the same directory as the .exe.

Configuration:
This fix has two presets for the HUD settings which can be selected with the numpad 9 and 3 keys. Preset 1 is the default after start. Preset 2 moves the HUD to higher depth and stretches it in X direction for better readability.

Known issues:
- Loading screens have red bars on the left and right side.
- Torch shadows are disabled - this should not be too bad as only the players torch casts shadows at all.

Changelog:
- v1.2: Disabled torch shadow due to problems at high convergence, updated screenshots
- v1.1: Shadows are now working with any convergence
- v1.0: initial release
