OpenGL GAMES Sticky This
  1 / 2    
Here are directions on how to get old OPENGL games to work with Nvidia 3D Vision.

1. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/gldirect/files/GLDirect%20Releases/
2. Download the software
3. Go to into the bin/release/ folder and copy the opengl32.dll file.
4. Copy this file into your Half Life folder or CounterStrike or Opposing Forces or Quake 3 or Quake or Quake 2 folder or whatever old Opengl game you think might work with 3D Vision.

Your game should now recognize 3D Vision. Have fun.

No, GLdirect will work on older OpenGL games but its pretty much anything BEFORE Doom 3 was released so don't expect to play anything new with this.

I put it in cause I keep seeing threads about OpenGl. Like the question about Opposing Forces.

I am the one asking the latest question about 3D Vision and Opposing Force simply because nVidia drivers include Opposing Force and Blue Shift in the list of compatible games, rating them "Excellent" with "Laser Sight" as only hint/recommendation.

Such games should work right off the bat. So my question remains unanswered: why are they there?

Also both Opposing Forces and Blue Shift can render the game via Software, OpenGL or Direct3D. Choosing the latest does not bear any benefit. I can try using the OpenGL wrapper and choose the OpenGL renderer to see if I get results.

So you are saying..Opposing Force & Blue Shift work in Direct3D but you cannot activate 3D Vision? This might be because they are using Direct3D 6,7 I think and 3D Vision does not work with DirectX 6,7 at all (Some Direct3D 8 Games do work with 3D Vision) as DirectX 9 is the minimum for 3D Vision to work:(

I think that both Opposing Force & Blue Shift will work in 3D Vision if you use the Source Engine (I know Half-Life at some point was redesigned to use the Source Engine...dunno about the expansions thou...)

Hope this helps. Also if you did succeed please let us know.

Helifax.

It's a possibility that the list isn't entirely correct since some entrances could be copied straight over from the legacy stereodriver compability list without testing.

What Likay said. That's why there's an entroy for Knights of the Old Republic, which is strictly an OpenGL game. It's from the old stereo driver back in the days when CRT monitors ruled the earth and 120hz was easy enough to be found. Back then the stereo drivers supported OpenGL instead of DirectX.

Not just that list was copied straight from the older drivers. There is a lot of evidence suggesting that the 3dvision drivers are built reusing a lot of code from the old stereo drivers.

Well, what Likay said makes much sense to me but if it's so then nVidia is really to blame for releasing an official compatibility list without testing each game there. Really unacceptable.

helifax,

Half Life: Source works without problem. But it uses the HL2 engine so that was no surprise. The older games (HL, Opposing Force, Blue Shift) let you select the renderer in the options. No luck with D3D but I'll test them with the OpenGL wrapper and report to you (although the OP said already that Opposing Force works with GLDirect). We'll see.

I wonder if alex1g tested those games before posting?

In my case, the 3D vision stereoscopic effect starts but fails miserably to provide any decent result. Half Life, Opposing Force and Blue Shift display the same identical behavior (an attempt of creating a stereoscopic effect). The games do not work.

Ironically enough, the nVidia tag appears, saying that the support for the game is Excellent.

So because your game doesn't work then everyone's game doesn't work, right????

There are two possibilities:

1) You have not tested the games you mention

2) You have tested the games (they work for you) but the method you suggest does not deliver the same result: I followed exactly your instructions

Which one is it?

The opengl fix worked for me. Although, the menu screens are completely broken and the hud is whack, yet the nvidia 3d crosshair works (unlike in counter-strike source). It also worked for quake 3, but the game is a little too dark for my first gen 3d vision (I have an acer hn274h). Now alex, if you know of a fix for the crosshair in counter-strike source you will make my day.
