It looks good. When I first started and tried original DI I couldnt do anything I was happy with. Probably why I was turned off immediately when I tried.
I wouldnt worry too much about shadows, looks pretty close and I've never seen a game besides dead island behave like that. I cant even put my finger on whats wrong. I'd upload it, it looks great. Id mention the post joohan mentioned, DOF/motion blur/crosshair off really makes it awesome as 3D first person game. Ill definetly check it out because I skipped the first one and from what I read its just the first one with more. Melee feels very rewarding.

[quote="DHR"]For shadows use this settings in Video.scr file, seems to get the best results for shadows (see screeshot).
[code]Shadows("High")
ShadowMapSize(256)
SpotShadowMapSize(4096)[/code]
Also removing DOF and Motion Blur (see link posted by Joohan from steam forum), make the game looks better (image quality). I also use a Sweetfx profile.

Those shadow settings you posted worked wonders, now I can play with max depth and convergence as high as possible until the first person weapons start to become a double image. Btw, with the modding tool you can increase the FOV and with a higher FOV you can use a bit higher convergence values as well. With these fixes from DHR and the other suggested tweaks this game is imo now a really good 3D Vision game. There are just some very minor issues with some distant shadows and such but they are barely noticeable. So in the (admittedly poor) nVidia rating scale I'd rate this game now as Excellent if you apply the fixes from DHR and use the other suggested tweaks. If for some reason the in-game crosshair (which has been fixed by DHR) disappears when using ironsights (as it does for me), I suggest people to use the Mass Effect 2 profile for this game and use the nVidia laser sight as the ME2 profile seems to fix the issues with the laser sight which the games normal profile has. Thanks again to DHR and others for the fixes and tips in getting this game to work as good as it does in 3D!

Yesterday in the night i play a couple of hours, only issues (minor i suppose) are distant Shadows in some parts and some water reflections in some places (really minor). The game it's playable, now it can be rated good, maybe excellent.
BUT.....the more i played, the more i noticed that the game it's not that fun (i never played the original DI btw)...it's a zombi game, this should be fun. The game don't have any story, gameplay it's very repetitive (go point A to point B over and over) and the combat system it's not that good, for example yesterday i try to hit a zombi with a baseball bat in the head and dont reach the damn zombi, but the zombi with his little arms hit me...LOL. Another bug it's the weather change from sunny day without clouds to rain day (like storm day) in 1 second...i know i'm in a tropical island, but this is physically impossible!! (at least on earth). Also there're some "water zombies" that jump in to the moving boat so easily, but they can't jump a 40-50 cms fence. If i have to rate this game, i will put an 5/10.

Question: Where i can get a machine gun in this game?? [/quote]
I have no idea where you can get a machine gun. I've only managed to get a revolver so far and all the rest of my weapons are melee weapons. I'm guessing the bigger guns come into play a bit later on in the game (although I've played quite a lot already). But the way they've implemented melee weapons is really quite nice and fun but yeah, it would be nice to shoot some zombies once in a while as well. Btw, anyone know the corresponding "number" for the middle mouse button (like the right mouse button is 501) so I could map it as the ironsights button in the DX9Settings.ini and use the right mouse button for throwing melee weapons? I would like to do this because when in throwing a melee weapon it goes into the lower convergence setting and it's a bit annoying (and I know DHR has it mapped to the "p" key) but to me that feels a bit inconvenient.

Joohan, try 502 for middle mouse button...if that dont work, try with 503 and 504.
I have a revolver also and a flare-gun.....a machine gun will be nice :)
I didn't get my first proper gun till i come across a Frenchman that sold me one. You don't get to see any more of em till a certain German fellow ;) by the time you are heading for town you should be well equipped gun wise.
Since then I only have one melee weapon in my inventory and i haven't used it in quite some time. I can imagine it would be quite a pain to keep using them outside of the preferred class given all the benefits she provides with these weapons. They do have gun mods [i]eventually![/i]
22 hours of coop since i started playing on Saturday >_<

Thanks! today i want to test some mods (gameplay mods) i found in the web to improve gameplay to my personal taste (this game has a lot of config files, a lot of tweaks...that's good)....also found an Inventory editor (i will be very happy with a Machine Gun...will put a smile in my face).
Also found some tweak to increase speech volume....very low by default.
i think today or tomorrow i will upload the fix to the site.

DHR, if possible and not too much trouble could you let us know which mods/tweaks you liked because I'd like to try some out as well (and I'll be trying out some either way, but if you find some nice ones, please let us know)? Also if possible could you perhaps upload the SweetFX profile you're using as I'd like to try some different profiles out as well. Sorry for all the requests and all that, hope I''m not being too much of a burden.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to play this game with the fix from Helixblog but all the shadows are broken , it really is a mess.
I modified the shadow settings as per the info, in this file:
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Riptide\out\Settings - Video.scr
Pressing P changes to low conversion, so the fix works, but shadows are broken, all shadows, not only distant ones. And plenty of effects with water, lights, but this may be normal.
Win 7, driver 314.22 (prefer not to change it , all else works perfect)
Anybody has the same issues? It's unplayable for me
Thanks

Don`t bother to fix the game in 3d vision. It works almost like 3d vision ready game with tridef. Just install it and select standard display types, Direct3D stereo (120).

I know enough that if you play a game with that kind of a hud in 2D its a mess and you need to settle with extreme low depth. I tried Borderlands which is almost the same style as far as hud and its friggin annoying. 3D vision ready is a huge stretch.
Not to mention I/you have no idea what it disables. Tridef does that.
Are you sure your not playing with Fake 3D/Powered 3D? [You will see distortion around models and it will seem kind of flat but hud will appear accurate]
Not to insult you if you like it but most of us don't.

I play the game with max depth and minimal convergence. It is definitely not fake 3D. HUD is only 2d. It does not matter to me much so I am quite content. Everything else is fine. I was quite suprised when I tried the game with tridef. Many problems were fixed. I will definitely try other games with tridef.
