Unfortunately, IZ3d doesn't work in windows 10. At least I haven't been able to get this to work. If anybody has been able to make this work in windows 10 I'd love to hear how.

I am still using windows 7 and will continue to use windows 7 for the next several years. But please let us know which OS can use the iZ3D driver and which can not. There are so many excellent Thief 2 fan missions to play. I do update my list of "only the best" Thief missions. If the mission is less than outstanding, it is not added to the list.

The only way I was able to get it to work in 3D was to disable d3d9(;use_d3d_display) in the cam_ext.cfg and use dgVoodoo/d3d6, I was getting the one-eye black texture issue which most likely would be fixed by doing this... was it ever really working for anyone without using iZ3D?

I tried a ton of stuff to get the d3d9 version to render in 3D, I even tried a way eqzitara had mentioned to force it to... nothing I've tried will get it out of mono. I know sometimes Post-Processing Effects can do this, like in Dark Sector, but I couldn't find any settings in the ini files to enable/disable that would do it and when I tried using HelixMod with it, there weren't any Shaders, cycle-able, dumped, or otherwise. Anyway, I was able to get it working using TFix(Lite but either version should work), dgVoodoo(2.53) and a tweaked Profile(below)... it's not hard to do, I'll try to explain it. *update guide in my next post*

Just installed Thief Gold to find that iZ3D doesn't work on Windows 10. How depressing.

  1. TFix(link):
    • Install TFix
  2. dgVoodoo(link):
    • Unzip/Open and Copy D3DImm.dll & DDraw.dll from the MS Folder over to your Thief Gold Install
    • In order to install the Thief Gold HD Mod you must Run dgVoodooSetup, Increase VRAM(256+) on the DirectX Tab and Save it either Globally or Locally
  3. Edit CFG Files:
    • Force it to use DX6 by editing the following lines in your cam_ext.cfg from:

      ; enable Direct3D 9 based display system (instead of the legacy DirectX 6 one)
      use_d3d_display

      to:

      ; enable Direct3D 9 based display system (instead of the legacy DirectX 6 one)
      ; use_d3d_display

  4. Edit/Replace Profile Using GeForce 3D Profile Manager(link):
    • Export NVIDIA Profiles.txt
    • Edit/Replace the Thief Gold Profile with the following Profile

      Profile "Thief Gold"
      ShowOn GeForce
      ProfileType Application
      Executable "thief.exe"
      Setting ID_0x701eb457 = 0x2241ab21 InternalSettingFlag=V0 // StereoProfile
      SettingString ID_0x7051e5f5 = "1" // Compat
      Setting ID_0x707f4b45 = 0x00000000 UserSpecified=true // StereoMemoEnabled
      Setting ID_0x708db8c5 = 0x3fc9dd94 UserSpecified=true // StereoConvergence
      Setting ID_0x70edb381 = 0x2420894e InternalSettingFlag=V0 // StereoTextureEnable
      EndProfile

    • Import NVIDIA Profile.txt
  5. Enjoy! :)

*Note:If you're using GeForce Experience(or if you get an Import ERROR) you may have to delete your nvdrssel.bin, otherwise GeForce 3D Profile Manager may not Export/Import the NVIDIA Profiles.txt correctly. If you got the ERROR on Import you may have to Delete the file and Export/Edit NVIDIA Profiles.txt again.

Deleting the file is as simple as pasting the following in the Run Prompt(WinKey+R) and hitting Enter.
