Abzu. Anyone excited for this game? Looks like it would be AMAZING in 3D!

Hopefully there will be a chance for a 3D fix if any of the shader hackers here are interested in this game. Looks like it could be really awesome in 3D. Too bad about Inside not being fixable but this looks like another really cool game that is dripping with atmosphere.

It's supposedly using the Unreal Engine. Looks interesting, listening to the music, it sounds like the same composer from Papo y Yo.

Yes it's UE4, I just got it off steam and will try it out a little later today. Is there any sort of general UE4 profile or shader replacements that can be used to fix some of the common issues UE4 has?

I read it is very short, between 70 and 120 minutes... hm... let's see how the 3D vision support in sense of fix develops. At the moment I will wait anyways.

For Us it will be hours after hours swimming around and admiring environment.

3dvision kicks in. Some of the post effects are broken. the biggest one being the motion blur, it glitches and streaks each eye in opposite directions. There's no way to turn in off in the games menu but i was able to disable all post effects in the games AppData\Local\AbzuGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\gameusersettings.ini file which fixes it. I'm not a fan of motion blur in 3d vision anyways. Shadows, decals, and some of the lighting are broken. The game allows you to super sample in game without having to resort to using DSR which is kind of nice. This would look great in 3d becuase of all the fish, plants life, and random stuff floating around as well as being able to navigate fully in 3d any direction. It's on sale on steam for 15.99, even if it's short it's worth the price.

I tried hunting for shaders using 3dmigoto but the game crashes while loading.

Remove the semicolon which comments out that line. Also for an Unreal fix, look for the AllowNvidiaStereo3d flag in their settings. However, I don't know if this helps for UE4, but I seem to recall some shaders still test for this flag.

Just brought this game and played around with Tridef and 3d vision a little bit. For some reason Tridef crashed the game about 50% of the time at start up also. Wonder if it's Denuvo rather then the Unreal Engine? Also wonder if Denuvo has any effect on 3dmigoto? I have never used 3dmigoto but I may try it out with this game. Just with 3d vision, if you set shadows, antialiasing and post processing to 0 you can push through the fish schools perfectly in 3d :D But half the effects are off and the distance still doesn't render properly.

I can't wait to play this one in 3D. I loved journey and I just ordered parts for building my new PC with a sexy graphics card in it. So thank you to everyone who is figuring this out, hopefully some day this one will work well in stereoscopic!

I would take a look, but I'm not interested enough in spending $22 CAD for this title, so I have it on my wishlist. If it ever has a 50% off sale, I'll grab it then.

This game is really beautiful. I could send you 10.00 paypal if you like? If you can't fix it, that's not a problem.

I bought the game a couple of weeks ago and am interested in taking a look, but I've just been through a relapse into depression (which I've suffered on and off for the last 14 years) and anyone who has experience with that illness will know that it makes it literally impossible to enjoy activities that I normally would, such as gaming or modding. I've mostly recovered from this particular relapse, but I'm taking it a bit slow getting back into things, so I'm not going to promise any time frames.
