I've just tried DMC last night, seemed to work fine. I know that Eqzitara said DMC was among the games for which the fix was broken, so I avoided trying it so far, but last night I finaly tried it and it seems to work, I did not see any problems in the first minutes. (Win7, recent drivers, SLI version of the automatic convergence fix) F3 and F4 seem to function correctly to store two levels of convergence. The depth sometimes resets to 0 but it may be unrelated to the fix, some games do it sometimes. If I find any broken shaders, which will point to the fact that the fix does not work, I'll report it here or on the Helix site. PS Thanks Eqzitara, the fix looks impeccable, good job!!!

On second try, the fix does no longer work. I cannot determine why it worked on the first launch, or maybe it was my impression. The game does not look extremely bad without the fix but still annoying. Eqzitara, if you're reading this, please confirm: the fix will work with an older driver (pre CM), right? Thanks

DMC - does not work pre 333.21. YOU MUST USE 333.21 or earlier. WRC- I don't know why it wouldn't. Could try old driver but its not related to issue. If you delete the shaderoverride folder BUT leave the d3d9.dll installed. Then launch game and it still crashes. Problem is on your end.

i reinstalled this the other day using the latest BETA driver. It works fine for me but I had to replace the shader that linked in the comments in the helix mod page before it would work without crashing

So the main issue people are having is a game crash? After the first launch, where the game seemed perfect in 3D with the fix, the game now has a strange issue where the depth/convergence seem to reset to zero for a second, if I move the camera / character. Then it goes back to normal, but if I take another step it does it again. Is this something other users experience? Just trying to understand what the issue with the newer drivers is (the issue for which the big "petition" post was created - was it a crash, or a loss of the autoconvergence functionality, or something else entirely, like the funkiness I'm experiencing)

In my case the games don't even load just exits to windows.

Make sure that you post problems with new Drivers in the Driver Feedback thread. ManuelG monitors/reads that thread daily and files bug reports. If they do not know about a problem, chances of it being fixed are not good. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/753944/geforce-drivers/official-nvidia-340-43-beta-game-ready-display-driver-feedback-thread-6-17-14-/

Spec Ops: The Line, neither new nor old version work for me now, in 3D Surround. it's not just "not working"; with the fix in the folder, the game image constantly "shakes" -- unplayable.

Keep in mind you aren't using the old version unless you delete the psscript which is a file left over from new version. -Could try to remove spec ops from the spec ops profile incase there is something wrong with it. -Try without surround -old driver [a year or so] Old games with new issues aren't problems on the fixes end.
