Universe Sandbox game Says supports 3D doesn't work with 3D Vision
Theirs a new game on Steam called Universe Sandbox

http://store.steampowered.com/app/72200/

You will note in the description that it "Supports anaglyphic 3D glasses and 3D DLP televisions".

I could not get this program to work with nvidia 3d Vision.

If anyone can get it to work could you mention how. Thanks.

3D Vision is definitely not anaglyphic. That's the deal where they user color filters to try and make the 3D images. If this program is done in OpenGL then you aren't going to be able to use it with 3D Vision.

The problem is that fullscreen is not true fullscreen so it never enables. Trying to rename the exe gives a framework error.

*EDIT*

I was able to over come this by making a copy of the Universe Sandbox.exe.config and renaming that to googleearth.exe.config also. 3D is now enabled however its restricted to GG's convergence settings etc and its all depth no pop out. Additionally hud texts are 2d (they aren't with the engines 3d choices).

Enabling 3d on top of nvidias is...well odd /wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

Hi, just got the program and I don't quite understand how you got it working, could you please help me out?

I've tried copying the original [b]Universe Sandbox.exe.config[/b] to desktop and renaming the one in the game files to [b]googleearth.exe.config[/b] but that came up with an error when I tried to start the program. And I have tried having the original [b]Universe Sandbox.exe.config[/b] in as well as the [b]googleearth.exe.config[/b] to which the game starts but there is no difference in trying to turn it on.

rename .exe and the .exe.config with googleearth. At the moment it doesn't work for me, but neither does google earth which indicates a driver issue at my end.

hope that helps

then run the googleearth.exe you just renamed
also you do need to have 3d be automatically on when a game starts! hitting the enable key when its loaded wont work afaik.

Unfortunately still not working, im just getting a "Update form" box with a loading loop that never ends. I'll give this another go later in the week when I get it on steam anyway ive just been trying on a friend's set up.

Carnagejc can you get google earth to work in 3D? I can't at the moment but I think its the driver I'm using. (running it in directx not open gl)

lumpeh what driver are you using? That's probably the last to step to getting this working.

Reinstalled clean and tried again and it works! Many thanks!

After I've been out tonight looking in real 3D /wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> im going to try changing the name to a game profile which if im assuming correctly should allow me to change the convergence settings etc

Edit:

Set copied exe+config to Portal2 and then increased convergence - looks spectacular
