You mean 347.09 :-)

Ähm i have made an very very interesting found that should be confirmed:

If the 3D is broken after traveling: Disable it, ALT+TAB to Windows, wait until you can see the desktop, ALT+TAB back, kick in 3D (STRG+T) ==> fixed !!!

==> you may have to repeat it 3 times, sometimes it workes, sometimes not.
==> BUT DO NOT FORGET THE REGISTRY CHANGES FROM HELIFAX ^^

I Also have tryed to load the game without the ALT+TAB and 3D kicks in as well (shader-cache=on but cleared).
==> This is working in most cases, but better to do ALT+TAB :-)

The game works best for me since clean Windows 7 installation and the HELIFAX reg-changes + Bobs Cleaning-shader-chache hint....
BUT: Prevent Travel-Crashe needs the ALT+TAB-trick !!!

Confirmed:-) the "ALT+TAB to Windows and back" Trick is very useful. In most cases the broken 3D after travelling can be fixed that way:-)

Yeah I mentioned this a few pages back, this is how I was fixing it for me, also changing resolutions and back sometimes helped. I will try a fresh OS install but I am dubious. (already clean booting) This is the only game I'm having these sort of issues and I find it peculiar. I also find it interest all the profiles Mike mentions he has tried all have the same issue with the default profile I have. I think its likely something to do with my hardware configuration and the game interacting with it. But ill keep you posted, cheers. by the way, thanks for that info Losti, I will set up a clean install and try following your setup. You mention you are also using the bf4 profile in sli. Does this mean to say you are having the problems as I am with the default profile?

[quote="Black_Hat"]Anyone had any success with Win 8 x64?[/quote] Why not just install windows 7? From what I've understood, you just recently got this computer so it shouldn't have too many installed programs on it. You can get the image from losti and Daz's loader to bypass the key and have fully activated windows.

There should be no difference between the two versions v4 and v6, just extra shaders fixed which are not the cause of any problems themselves. However, I may have changed the user.cfg, perhaps you could check and use the v4 if that was better for you?

[quote="necropants"] by the way, thanks for that info Losti, I will set up a clean install and try following your setup. You mention you are also using the bf4 profile in sli. Does this mean to say you are having the problems as I am with the default profile?[/quote] Never tryed it with standard profile. Switched to BF4 with that fix because it is the suggestion from the developers of the fix ^^ ... ähm i can remember that i had some issues with the standard profile (one eye was dark one eye normal) with standard profile. But this was with V1 so ... i do not know if this was fixed or not...Anyway... BF4 profile without any changes is working well and doing a good job....so i kept it ^^

Hi, I was kindly pointed to this thread from the helixmod site by bo3b because I am having stability issues while using SLI. I have read through a lot of the recent posts and have made the registry changes and setup a bat file to clear the shader cache prior to loading DAI. Unfortunately this is still not solving the issues for me; perhaps my timing on the Alt-Tab is just not right. If I run it without SLI and use the DAI profile, all is good with the Alt-Tab trick with shader cache on. But, as soon as I enable SLI I seem to have it even worse with shader cache on. More times than not when I first load the game the 3D is messed up. When I say messed up I am referring to certain things missing in one eye (such as a mountain in the distance or a shadow). I have tried using the DAI, BF4 and AC4 profiles with little luck. I have cleared the ShaderFixes *.bin files many times as well. Trying to Alt-Tab during loading (2 seconds after the third card appears and with no other windows open on desktop) or after a scene has loaded with bad 3D does not help. In fact it often causes a crash. All of this is on a newly setup Win 7 Ultimate partition with minimal stuff installed. I have been using 347.09; perhaps I need to use 344.65? When it works DAI does look wonderful in 3D, but running it without SLI means I have to turn down settings more than I would prefer and running it with SLI is extremely unstable with or without the shader cache. Any suggestions?

Everything we know or find out we post here (and I just updated the blog as well), so unless someone else has any new ideas we are all in the same boat. At some points while I was developing the fix, I wouldn't be able to start the game and would need to resort to driver re-installs etc as well. This game, like Lords of the Fallen, has massive problems with SLI and 3DVision, and all we can do is try and find work arounds. I have SLI 770, so quite a bit lower than your spec, and non-SLI was mostly OK except in a few areas when it dipped to 25 in some panoramic outdoor scenes, and that was with most things on medium and a couple of things on high (geometry and shadows), and some stuff disabled as per instructions/preferences etc. It still looks really good with these settings. You should be getting lows around 40 with a 780Ti, which would work for me in this game (not in FC4 as that is a first person game). All I can suggest is that you try a few of your own things out and report back to us what works (if anything). It seems to be pot luck whether someone has major problems or not, and there is really no consistency.

Jason20910 You are basically having the exact same issue I am. I'll summarize my findings through this thread along with everyone elses help. I have found for the most part I have to either play with the default profile without SLI in which its 100% stable with the registry fixes to disable 3d on start and the shader cache .bat trick (some locations this is out of the question due to performance) Or play with BF4 profile in SLI and put up with some instability (fix in certain locations will break while running around, Throne room in Skyhold for example). Most of the time I have to restart when zoning, due to 3d breaking (maybe I can't get the Alt+ tab timing right either). Basically in summary though, I have spent a lot of hours on this and if I do the following I can pretty much guarantee to have it load correctly on start-up and I use the Alt tab trick to make sure I can hit a load screen and get a save in the next area. I have no idea why this works, or if there is anything in this that gives clues to the cause of the issue, but it just works for me... - Try a load as normal. (hello broken 3d) - Kill the Dragon age process. - Disable SLI - Turn off Stereo 3d in panel. - Switch back to standard profile in NV inspector - Reboot - *if this method doesn't work try again and at this point start on the game once on the default profile SLI off, should see it working, then close it clean. This isn't so bad cause the shader cache can be left on with this default profile due to the batch file shader cache clearing trick detailed earlier by Bo3b and Losti. reboot* - Enable SLI - Enable 3D - Change profile to Bf4 (must have shader cache off and all recommended settings) - Start game with .bat (to clear previous shader cache if exists) - Run a few meters before Ctrl T to turn 3d on. - (Use alt tab trick on zone to prevent crashes so you can at least get a save in the next area) This is annoying obviously but it allows me to at least get into the game and play without the frustrations of loading and reloading (made worse with the shader cache having to be off). I have spent hours on this and its the most reliable way I can get it to work. (almost 100%) Often once its going and you restart 3d will be fine but if it breaks I generally have to go through this process and in some cases make a save in a different area. Sounds long winded and annoying after a while you can get it down real fast. So, Hope it helps. On another one note I have found one more area with a broken shader in Crestwood Ill put up a screen and save for the guys tonight when I get home from work. =) (347.09 2x EVGA Gtx 780 3gb, windows 7pro 64x)

- (Use alt tab trick on zone to prevent crashes so you can at least get a save in the next area)

This is annoying obviously but it allows me to at least get into the game and play without the frustrations of loading and reloading (made worse with the shader cache having to be off). I have spent hours on this and its the most reliable way I can get it to work. (almost 100%)

Often once its going and you restart 3d will be fine but if it breaks I generally have to go through this process and in some cases make a save in a different area.

Sounds long winded and annoying after a while you can get it down real fast. So, Hope it helps.

On another one note I have found one more area with a broken shader in Crestwood Ill put up a screen and save for the guys tonight when I get home from work. =)
