3d Vision Issues in Full Screen Games
So I have the original 3d vision kit. I have a GeForce GTX550 Ti. I tried running Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 in 3d, but even though the rating said excellent it was awful. It was almost like I wasn't wearing the glasses. I had two separate images. I know my glasses were on though because they got darker when I started the game. So I figured it was just a mistake and the game actually didn't work all the great. Then I went to fire up Left 4 Dead 2 and found that when I'm running the game in full screen mode, it does the same thing (two images as if I weren't wearing the glasses). However, if I switch Left 4 Dead 2 back to windowed without a border it looks amazing as it should. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I tried running the setup wizard again, but it didn't fix anything. Any ideas?

hmm... did you try changing the setting in the driver control panel that says "select when the display is in 3d mode"?

I don't see that option. I looked under the 3d section of the nvidia control panel and I couldn't see any options about when 3d mode is enabled other than "Hide stereoscopic 3d effects when game starts." I tried changing that setting, but it didn't work.

EDIT: I also just tested running RCT3 in windowed mode and it runs 3d perfectly, but when it's full screen I get the double images again

the only time I get double images in 3D is when the convergence is set WAY too high, or if the battery goes flat in my glasses. This may sound like a stupid question but have you tried to lower the convergence to see if it makes any difference?

I have the same problem. It all started for me when I upgraded my card from the 480GTX to the 680GTX and installed the new 301.42 release drivers.

I have the ASUS VG278H which has a built-in emitter. The emitter DOES NOT activate in full screen games, only in windowed mode. The glasses work fine, and the emitter works fine (when the driver turns it on). When I launch full screen 3D games, monitor swtiches in to 120Hz mode and the double images show up, but [b]the emitter stays off and is not telling the glasses to start flickering[/b].

I have clean installed the drivers and all that. It fixes the problem for about 2 hours then it starts back up again after I quit a full screen 3D Game. Clearly it is a driver problem.

MY WORK AROUND: Launch the 3D Vision Photo Viewer and load up one of the sample pics (or any low memory foot-print 3d windowed app) to get the emitter to turn on. THEN launch your 3D games. It works fine.

Yes, it is a pain in the butt, but it works. You have to keep the windowed 3D application on in the background to keep the emitter on.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, I'll give that a try next time I experience the problem. Hopefully the driver will get updated with a fix
