I saw on twitter , Digital_Foundry is debunking this fake 3d right now. #approve, /thanks.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thanks:' />

Grrr, finally got the retail game and I haven't found any way to disable the pseudo 3D to get the good version working.

Just because it's not the 3d we're used to doesn't mean it's not true 3d.
IMO the 3d looks great and is used excellently. There's no much pop out,
but there sure is alot of depth and it really adds to the immersion.
Loving it.

We will just have to agree to disagree I guess. Glad to see your liking it though. Think I will finish Dragon Age 2 up first then maybe Homefront before this one. I must be the only person that isn't keen on the 3D in the game I guess.

I tried adding some of those 3D variables to the command line when the MP demo was released and they didn't work there and don't work on the retail version. Either there is a specific way to force it in the game or they are no longer applicable.

what i like the most is that it doesn't drop your fps at all.. with 3d on or off
am not running sli. only 1 and other on physics

I also think its inferior to true stereo rendering but the benefit ofc is much better performance and almost no FPS loss, which is pretty impressive and can be important for people with slower GPUs with an eye-candy title like this. But ya the objects in the demo looked very flat to me and made worst without the ability to adjust Convergence, but overall the 3D elements were flawless from crosshairs to ironsights to HUD and menu.

Are those working console cvars or .ini settings? Would be awesome if those worked for those wanting to use traditional dual rendering. Nice find if they work! :)

I tried adding them as command line options and also inside the system.cfg files but they do nothing. I am not trying to completely dismiss the technique but since we are on a PC I don't see why we can't get the option to disable their version and let us try the usual way, even if it isn't ideal.

I also have the suspicion that people that aren't that much into depth are finding it more to their liking than those of us that prefer high amounts of depth, or me, who prefers even higher than normally allowed.

The regular method to be honest while looks good hurts in multi player games like this. However I do enjoy getting FRAGGED in 3D.

Something I found that works is tweaking the system.cfg file by adding the following lines:
[b]
r_StereoDevice = 3[/b]

Supposedly forces the Nvidia driver

[b]r_StereoMode = 1[/b]

Supposedly enables dual rendering mode but doesn't seem to do anything extra

[b]r_StereoStrength = 1
[/b]

This appears to control the amount of depth to a degree. If I set it to .5 I barely have any bars showing when I start messing with the depth wheel. If I set it to something like 2 the bar is maxed out already. Default is 1 (If you take off your glasses and scroll the depth wheel either way, you can see the separation change on your crosshair and some of the near objects but I can't see any change to actual game depth)

[b]r_StereoScreenDist = .25[/b]

This is kind of their way of adjusting convergence, at least you will notice it with a weapon held. If I change it to .1 the weapon doesn't stick out so much. Setting it to something like .5 makes it a lot more pronounced. Default is .25

[b]r_StereoEyeDist = .02[/b]

Wow, this appears to be a major 3D tweak. The default is .02. Changing it to .1 you can see a big increase in separation to me. The only problem is on either edge of the screen is a weird distortion effect but the 3D looks a whole lot more pronounced when I tweak this. The field range appears to be in a fairly tight range.

Dude stereo eye distance IS convergence by definition! Good job! How did you find these? Gonna try this out when i get home...

Nice! Does adjusting StereoScreenDist and StereoEyeDist have the same benefits if changed using CryEngine's native S3D implementation? Or only if you change to Nvidia/Dual Rendering mode? Either way nice find, I prob won't get this game til it drops to $30 or less as that's all I really felt I got out of the 1st two titles. Also, can you adjust these settings in the console dynamically? Or do you have to close the game and change the .cfg each time?

Can you provide more info on the file you modified? I'm assuming it's a Crysis 2 file (and not an Nvidia one), can you please provide the full path to the file location? And, you just stuck those new lines on the end of the file? Nice work, I'm going to pick up the game after work after this information.

Here is a link to the page where I found all those variables:

[url="http://32bita.ws/b/crysis-2-all-console-commands/"]Crysis 2 Variables List[/url]

Here is what I have in my system.cfg file as seen by the attached screenshot:

r_StereoDevice = 3
r_StereoMode = 1
r_StereoStrength = 2
r_StereoScreenDist = .1
r_StereoEyeDist = .08

I work night shift and have to go to bed but I figured this is a start at least and I will tweak some more tomorrow.

[attachment=26408:Crysis202_50.jps]

Adjusting fustrum (CTRL + F11 by default) pushes the HUD elements out to the edge of the screen more but they don't get cut off and the trade off is worth it to me for the better 3D I am seeing IMHO. Also, the frustrum adjustment doesn't show in the screenshot but like I said, it fixes the edge distortion you see in the picture.
