DiRT 3 PC Patch 1.02 Now with 3D Vision support
  4 / 6    
I just want to add that I purchased the game upon hearing all the good news here and although I've always been a Dirt series fan, I avoided 3 for some reason. Until now. So it goes to show that 3D vision support can sell games. 3D experience right up there with Portal 2. I particularly like the realism of 1st person/driver's perspective.

anybody have problem with dirt 3 after lastest 285.27 beta driver installed? with 280.26, everything was good but now after installing 285.27 beta driver, dirt 3 on full screen only runs at 60fps with 3d off and 30 fps with 3d on and 3d stereoscopic glasses no longer goes to dark(meaning not working). I only updated to this new beta driver that just came out coz it says dirt 3 is now moved to excellent from good 3d vision support rating. I haven't tested with other games yet but at least dirt 3 is now broken with this new beta driver. I will probably roll back to 280.26 coz 285.27 didn't seem to be improvement but just caused more troubles for me.

Bought the game a week ago, and it crashed constantly in dx11 mode with the 280.26 drivers. Forcing dx9 fixed the crashes, but unfortunately it is quite unplayable in 3d in dx9. Seeing that this is a known problem for the dirt 3 engine, i didn't expect a driver update to fix the problem. The strange thing is that it works fine in dx11, and do not crash for me, with the latest 285.27 beta drivers. However, with the 280.26 drivers the GPU usage was at a constant 99% for both my GTX580. With the 285.27, it hovers between 70-80%, sometimes reaching 90%. I'm not getting a constant 60fps and it is not bottlenecking on the cpu, so something strange is going on here. I haven't checked the exact framerates yet, which I will as soon as I get home tonight. I run in 5760*1080 in 3d surround. What framerates are you guys getting when running 3DSurround?

3d vision works perfect here with the patch on 2x gtx 460 in sli powered by i7-940 @ 1024x768 !BUT! in multiplayer split screen, the right eye becomes black so that 3d is totally killed and you're much better without the glasses to play this part of the game. do you guys have the same issue ? can we still hope for a fix ? thx!

This may be a app bug. Can you try single GPU for now?

i get the same issue with only one GPU active so it's not a SLI issue, it's a regular 3D vision issue not supporting multiplayer-splitscreen mode..did you try on your end ?

thx!

Still curious to know how to check what version i have. I dont have steam either, bought it through a program like steam but wasnt steam. My 3d in dx11 doesn't look god awful, it looks quite good. Does that mean i have 1.02? Was it totally unplayable with the original version in 3d? Someone said windows live will auto update. Is this 100% true? Thanks.

Ok ....this is not good...Dirt 3 no longer works in 3D. I have the beta driver before the Battlefield 3 one. It worked fine in 3D before this. I just get a black screen with 0% GPU usage. I do have a SLI setup. All my other 3d games (like 20 of them) work fine.

2 x GTX 470's

any help?

I am *not* running in SLI (I have a single GTX 570), and Dirt 3 runs perfect for me with the latest driver 285.38, and also did with the previous one 285.27. So it might be SLI - if you disable SLI does it still give you problems?

On a related note (regarding these drivers), I still can't record using FRAPS, or take screenshots with either of these newer drivers.

Just tested it again. It is not a SLI issue or even, to my suprise, a 3D vision issue. When I was able to boot the game, it gave me a double vision look (almost like 3D even though it wasn't on)and the shadows had a weird look to them. When I shut the game down and started over again, I was just getting the black screen again. I dunno, the last 2 beta drivers from Nvidia are pretty bad. I am hearing the Battlefield one (which I won't install) is actually causing some possible card damage. I hope the driver I am using (the one before) isn't doing the same thing. I got my first TDR (in 2 years)after installing the driver (yes, clean), that should have been my first clue. I wouldn't even download beta drivers if it wasn't for the important game updates in them.

Can anyone confirm that they can get Dirt 3 to work in 3D vision with working shadows in DX9

I can't even get DX11 to work, I just get a black screen (3D or non 3D)

I am now having the same proble in Two Worlds 2. Something funny is happening with the drivers before the BC3 ones.

Is it safe to use the BF3 driver? or should I wait for the WHQL?

Disreguard my posts, there is a known DX11 problem with this game. I also should have read that the 3D vision fix is only for the DX11 path. I will admit, I am still having probs with these Beta drivers. I even did a complete reinstall od Dirt 3. I hope the new drivers on Monday (I hope) help. I just hate it when a game used to work fine and then I update a driver and everything turns sour.... /bloated.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':X' />

The new WHQL driver fixed the DX11 path. I might stop downloading betas for a while.
Anyway, Dirt 3 works again. /clap.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':clap:' />
