3DTV Play working in some game, but deactivated in others
  1 / 2    
Hi there, I have a very strange problem using 3DTV Play. Most of my game works with it, using 1280*720*60, but some other wont. The funny thing is that some, like BF3, worked for a while and now doesn't seems to start the 3D rendering. For the not working game, I dont even see the nvidia overlay message saying the rating or even the overlay message that say my resolution is wrong or whatever, no, no : I just get nothing, like stereoscopic view were disabled. I tried toggling it on with Ctrl + T, changed that shortcut too, but it's really like those game are stuck in 2D mode. Game I can play 3D : - trine, trine 2 - The Witcher 2 - Dishonored - Fuel - Rayman - Diablo - ... Game I CAN'T play in 3D : - BF3 - Bioshock infinite - Starcraft 2 - Metro 2033 and others Does anyone has any idea about how to toggle 3D back on when obviously the shortcut won't work ? 2 of those game are supposed to be 3D ready, and I even already saw BF3 and Metro working in 3D... I'm really lost, please help :)

Game I can play 3D :
- trine, trine 2
- The Witcher 2
- Dishonored
- Fuel
- Rayman
- Diablo
- ...

Game I CAN'T play in 3D :
- BF3
- Bioshock infinite
- Starcraft 2
- Metro 2033
and others

Does anyone has any idea about how to toggle 3D back on when obviously the shortcut won't work ? 2 of those game are supposed to be 3D ready, and I even already saw BF3 and Metro working in 3D...

I'm really lost, please help :)

No clue. Those aren't the latest beta drivers but I'm using 314.22 too, on a GTX 670 as well just not using 3DTV Play. I ran Metro 2033 yesterday or the day before without issue.

Don't bother trying to get Bioshock Infinite to play in 3d. It doesn't work.

I use 3DPlayTV and have 314.22 installed and can play Metro 2033 in 3D fine, so its not the driver I'd say.

Uninstall nvidia drivers completely from control panel[EVERYTHING]. Then reinstall a [u]different[/u] driver with clean install. I know you did the same one but just try it. I think I understand whats happened but not why. There are profile "groups" and for some reason it sounds like one group is busted. [Like A,B,C. All games in C are broken or don't even exist from what you said]. 3 of those games are not using 3d vision but a "renderer"[Game does the work]. So it just stands out to me that they are all in same group. I have a feeling if you renamed one of those games [Cant with steam, Make a backup before trying if you want to] to one of names above it would work. But itd probably look wrong with wrong profile [effects/whatever broken]. I heard the same recently from someone else where they told me Mirrors edge was only rendering in 2D. Not to mention, someone yesterday told me borderlands 2 shadows were broken, when they aren't. Nvidia's 3d vision driver I think sometimes just doesnt install right. I have no idea why. Different driver install with clean install ussually fixes it.

Hey, Thanks for your answers guys, i'll what you suggest, uninstalling everything from control panel, reboot, then install like maybe the latest beta version, I think it's the 320 dot something. I'm at work right now so I'll let you know tonight. Thanks or your advice

Also, what do you recommend using : 3DTV Play (I bet it is hdmi 1.4a implementation) or the HDMI Checkerboard option ? Tried both, both works but cannot see the difference, and I can't go up to 1080*60 with checkerboard neither. Is it suppose to make any difference ?

Do not use the 320 Beta Drivers. There is a problem in combination with 3dtv play.

Well, I tried with several drivers from 310 to 320, full uninstall every time, doesn't change anything about those game... And I swear I saw BF3 running in 3D once, just it wont happn again... Can't nvidia just provide a side by side option or whatever ? How can I enable 3D vision for those game ? Damn ! I payed for this when it really was only a software lock in nvidia drivers, and now I can't play the game they maked as 3D ready ?

You might try setting your desktop resolution to the in-game resolution you plan on using prior to launching the game. I recall having to do that at one time with a problematic driver. Also try alt tabbing out of the game, then re-entering.

tried it already, the damn BF3 or bioshock game is stuck in 2D mode, and won't toggle back to 3D.... Is there any way to force a game to launch with 3D activated ? Like a shortcut option or anyting ?

Not sure if 3d tv play has it but nvidia control panel->stereoscopic 3d-> setup stereoscopic 3d select when display is in 3d mode. Try changing those options.

There isn't anything like that in this panel, like only the nvidia demo, the setupwizard which I did and some medical warning :/
