Maybe download a debug dll from the blog and verify that the red text appears at the top? Otherwise i'm stumped...

I didn't realize that Nvidia enabled the fake 3D in the DX11 mode of this game. Yes I receive the RED text with the DEBUG DLL without any issues.

What Driver are you using? I was on 337.50 and rolled back to 335.23 and it works fine. i have not re-installed 337.50 to see if that breaks it again. Thanks and good work on the FIX, i should have mentioned that before i went into my local issues.

I just wanted to begin Splinter Cell Blacklist today using Mike's fix (I am on driver 335.23 currently). When I launch the game I get the Nvidia profile description which says Splinter Cell Blacklist Rating: Good". Doesn't that mean the game isn't using mike's fix but this crappy Nvidia fake 3D instead!? When I started the campaign I also noticed the typical hints for fake 3D (Halos around the character, objects including the character that look more like cardboards put into different depth-layers lacking volume.....) Anyone here who can tell me what I have to do to disable the Nvidia fake 3D so I can use Mike's fix instead?

CTRL+ALT+F11. (incorrect at first, edited to fix) I can't remember if you need to be in DX9 or DX11 mode for it to work too, so test that (though it probably says on the fix page).

I think that is Ctrl-Alt-F11 (need Alt). Yes, Mike's fix is DX9, using Helix wrapper.

Thanks Pirate and Bob. I will give it a try as soon as I get back from the office. Indeed the fix page clearly says it is DX9 only!

I justed tested Ctrl+F11 to get rid of the Nvidia fake 3D. Unfortunately it doesn't work. By default Ctrl+F11 is the key-combination for changing the frustum settings. Ctrl+Alt+F11 seems to do nothing. Any idea? Anyone here who actually played Blacklist using Mike's fix? How did you enable it? Could it be I have to change to an old driver (older than the January-driver which first enabled that crappy fake 3D)? I just checked the thread for that January driver and although it seems every second question was regarding to the key-combination to turn that fake-crap off there was no real answer in this huge thread (at least I couldn't find any) which provided a valid key combination for turning it off. Any help?

Ok I just found the valid combination . It is CTRL+Alt+F11 (just as Bob said). Don't know why it isn't working for me. I will give it a second try...NOW!

Driver-reinstall did it. Also I didn't touch the default key-shortcuts for advanced settings this time. So maybe my custom key shortcuts that I used before I reinstalled the driver messed up the Ctrl+Alt+F11 shortcut.. I will try that tomorrow because with my HMZ- T3 I need to modify the shortcuts so I can hit them blindly! Thanks again Pirate and Bob for the quick help.

Does anyone know how to enable sweetfx in Blacklist? I succesfully installed mike's fix for 3D renamed the sweetfx d3d9.dll (because mike's fix also has a file with this name) and added the proxylib-line in the DX9settings.ini under [General] tab with the exact location of the renamed sweetfx d3d9.dll Somehow sweetfx does not kick in even when pressing the toggle key for sweetfx on/off. Any idea?

Make sure any overlays are disabled. Steam doesn't seem to be a problem (usually), but any framerate display software will kill sweetfx (fraps, afterburner), and uplay may affect it too.
