Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
So, this game could practically be 3D Ready if the UI wasn't screwed. It starts out flat as hell, but if you increase convergence a LOT it starts to gain depth, and eventually pop out.

All the NPC icons and interface elements are actually in 3D, unlike almost every other MMO out there, this could almost be 3D vision. If it wasn't for 1 thing, the normal UI elements are pushed off the screen when you increase the convergence so much, but without it, it has no depth or anything to it, it is just a 2D image pushed into the monitor (how that never got picked up when nvidia checked this game, I will never know, do they people checking these things actually know what a 3D picture looks like, not just a 2d picture pushed into the monitor? lol...). Is there a way of tweaking the profile or anything, so the 3D vision ignores the UI elements?

That's all it needs, just to ignore the 2D UI elements. The actual HP bars, quest icons, everything else, is already in proper 3D (at least once the convergence is increased for 5 mins). Unfortunately this slight issue makes it practically unplayable in 3D vision, you either have no UI or you have a flat picture. The actual game looks utterly fantastic in 3D aswell, no artifacts, 3d HP bars, 3d icons, total shame, for an older game, it could be 3D ready if it wasn't for this.

I'm good with computers but i'm no way competent enough to mod the UI or anything like that. The UI itself is actually kind of odd, because the only thing that has any varying degree of depth at the default settings, is the UI, and hte buttons will be at different depths, like they used up all the first depth layers for the UI, so the game is pushed so far back you can't see any 3D, and once convergence is raised enough, the UI is gone. The pictures on the hotbars go first, then other parts of the UI will slide off, then the actual terrain and game will start to gain some depth and popout eventually.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Nobody has any experience with this? Or knows if the UI has moddable 3D elements?
