Confused: is there a Helix DX11 wrapper?

[quote="eqzitara"]Is it playable single core? Performance wise. I can't imagine it working well for 120hz. Start game. alt tab. alt-ctrl delete. right-click on bioshock infinity. set affinity. Turn off all processors. Select CPU 0 / CPU 1 I'm not saying it works, I'm just saying thats how.[/quote]Yes, this the way to do it. Bit of a pain, but if you just can't wait, you can set affinity to 1 during loading, then back to affinity 4/6 for playing. It's only during loading and presumably shader patching that things go astray. Performance is OK with single core 3.8GHz. Drops my frame rate from 60+ to 25 though. Still beats hell out of 2D. I don't have high self-control, and played up to meeting Elizabeth. Frickin' awesome.

@foreverseeking Should take a pic next time, its a bit hard to tell from that explanation. @schmeltzer Did you try reloading? That looks like the issue helix talked about. "There is one glitch when some objects after level loading became 2D or has some strange glows." He said to 3dsolutiongaming when he ran into issues and your shots area same as him in exact same area in his video. @helix I sent you an important email. You may of reached the same conclusion though.

Anyone here that runs SLI and HAS this issue? (with the weird loading thing) Since I SWEAR to GOD I haven't seen it ONE TIME! I imagine the only diff would be running Surround and SLI. As a side note I discovered lately that when you set the driver in Surround it uses another type of SLI. I searched around but couldn't find anything about what SLI mode is actually in... Could this be the thing? I am just wondering... As another side note I am running an i3570k which doesn't have HT...I wonder if this could cause those issues....

I run GTX 580 SLI, and run into the problem. I also disabled HyperThreading in the BIOS so that I could overclock higher. Based on my experiment with affinity, it's clearly a multi-threaded loading problem. Probably you are lucking out, or something about surround changes the timing characteristics enough so that threads don't get pre-empted in your case.

I think a solution is on the way, so if your "playing to play" just wait imo.

Easier just to use the paperclip attach icon after you've posted. You can choose a file off your hard drive, like the ones in \NVStereoscopic3D.IMG from Alt-F1.

Yeah, not the most obvious way to attach a photo to a post. Not sure about the forum software here... That image you have there is different than anything I saw, and I wouldn't put it the category of problems Helix already discussed. It's more a full screen left eye problem, not individual objects. Can you try to set the affinity and reload checkpoint?

Thats the load error I think. Lights in one eye. You tried reload?

IS there a correct way to set affinity Bob3D? I load up the game, tab out, set affinity to just cpu 0 (out of 0-7 or 8 threads). but then I can't tab back into the game. When I re-load it, it's back to all 8 thread working. Tabbing out of the game without changing affinity works perfectly fine. I have tried re-loading multiple times eqzitara, it's unfortunately there every time. Shame, as other than that looks bloody good... but that is a proper migraine inducing bug!

@foreverseeking: Know issues: 1. SSAO should be on NORMAL or below. You need to lover down ambient occlusion settings (to Normal).

ah, bugger! I did read that, but a few days before I tried it out so forgot. Sorry, will give it another shoot now.

[quote="-=HeliX=-"]@foreverseeking: Know issues: 1. SSAO should be on NORMAL or below. You need to lover down ambient occlusion settings (to Normal).[/quote] Cheers Helix, that cleared it all up. Wow, looks amazing! the ocean never looked that good the first time I played it, waves! Looks so much better than bioshock 1 was before Mana's fix, 3x fold. Coronas seem to be just a little off (always to the right) on light sources, but nothing that is too noticeable. Also very minor false lighting effects on some objects... but this looks really quite amazing. Thanks again! It really is exciting to see this game in 3D. I really wish it came out working like this, but at least others still get to play it the first time it was meant to be played. Going out with the wife now, but will play some more later. Ciao!

I know, damn it looks good. It is simply incomprehensible to me that Irrational and Ken Levine wouldn't want to see their game this way. [img]http://sg.bo3b.net/BioShockInfinite05_85.jps[/img]
