Stellaris
Hello guys, With a few notable exceptions, strategy games don't benefit all that much from 3DV but I'm here to tell you all that Stellaris is soooo close to looking damn near perfect. The large scale of the battles, and the celestial objects in star systems look truly epic, and big battles are a joy to behold. Ship, star, and planet models already look damn near perfect in 3DV but...the only problem is that the background image of the galaxy is at screen depth, which destroys the whole effect. Anyway, if any of the 3DV Gods on these forums like strategy, this would be well worth a look as, judging from previous fixes I've seen on Helixmod (and I may well be talking out of my ass here) this doesn't look like a difficult problem. Stellaris uses the Paradox Clausewitz engine. In any case, you all have my thanks for everything you've done for the community and I just wanted to give you a heads up. Best regards,

It's getting great reviews by people that like these type of games. Sounds like a must buy if you do. http://store.steampowered.com/app/281990/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZzjvMkgylA

I have it and I have pushed 2D objects to depth before. I'll have a go.

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Hmmm I can't get the debug to work. I have tried a number of different versions including 3Dmigoto. One of the Helix ones crashed on startup which at least suggested something was occurring but the rest don't appear to do anything. The Dumps folder is generated but I cant do anything in game... :( any ideas? The orbit lines are 3D The unit icons are 2D. edit Aion profile disables 3D effect.

...rename/delete the SteamOverlay dlls with the one that's crashing? ...are you getting the red info text in-game with the ones that aren't working? edit:[url=http://wiki.bo3b.net/index.php?title=HelixMod_Feature_List#UseExtInterfaceOnly]UseExtInterfaceOnly[/url]?

Hey

This is my DX9Settings.ini:
