Crosshairs in 3D
Haven't turned on my 3D Vision for a year because it's so complex to make a game look playable - helixmod, a lots of keys pressing, copying files, editing files, reading instructions etc. Other major problem was that i never managed to set an usable crosshair, so i could play only games without shooting. Is it possible at all to set a crosshair good for targeting in shooters or they'll be always so eye-crashing? Anyone managed to do it, or maybe i'm so special with this trouble?

There are plenty of games with stereoscopic crosshairs, and Helixmod is easy to use. There's also nVidia's laser sight, which you can use by disabling the crosshair in whatever you're playing and using the shortcut.

[/quote] I am not sure what you are expecting - if you find helixmod hard to use (which is mostly just copying files to a directory), you're likely to struggle with any fix for cross-hairs (and btw helixmod can often times fix cross-hairs as well). Pirateguybrush summarizes the situation with cross-hairs well, for most games there is often some solution (editing the games own config files, or other community mods that people might make). But if you don't want to do anything to get a game working there's not much anyone can do for you - 3D Vision gaming does unfortunately require tweaking: you have to do *something*. There is no global solution - every game is it's own problem, and each has to be addressed separately. Having said that I think there is less tweaking than often happens with other highly moddable games (in 2D) where users spend ages tweaking visual settings to get the best quality/framerate ratio, or applying ENB/SweetFX etc.
