The rename trick only works with the boxed version of shift2 - We do also have a steam version and will try to get working, any progress will be reported on this thread

Woody1066 - Hopefully - the developers will sort out the issues so nvidia can produce a profile. It does say on the SG page that the fix doesn't work with steam. Also states the renaming trick only improves matters - night time driving in 3D just doesn't work at the moment.

copy and paste from the SG site below:
[size="4"][color="#8B0000"]Shift2 still has a number of problems - playing at night in 3D is a non starter, but the overall 3D experience is a good one. All camera angles work fine so long as you adjust the convergence for each viewpoint.

Renaming the exe is a great fix in the short term - till nvidia release a profile.

**STEAM USERS
I understand that the game doesn't run when renaming the exe[/color][/size]

Will keep you posted Woody1066, ive also gone and changed the steam warnings colour to stand out further

It might be worth trying a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link"]Symbolic Link[/url] to fool the profile system into thinking ya running opfr

Errr, if you rename to ofdr.exe the game works better in 3D Vision. How is that not a workaround?

Renaming - makes Shift2 from totally 100% unplayable - to a playable game in daylight conditions - so as the thread title suggests 'a big improvement'

It's not perfect, it's not a profile, but if you own the boxed game, and want to try in 3D - renaming the exe is the way forward till such time a proper profile is released

See the two screenshots below - one without renaming (looks awful) and one with renaming (looks good)

original exe:- [attachment=26669:shift2u04_50.jps]

ofdr.exe:- [attachment=26670:ofdr03_50.jps]
