Dead Island 3D Vision
  3 / 4    
The crosshair appears in your face as does the HUD , it doesn't work well in 3D.
Dirt3 is the only game that I've found that works perfectly in 3D ,but if a game or film doesn't work 100% perfectly you will get eye strain and it wont be as enjoyable as 2D. When 3d works it is awesome (like Dirt3), but If its slightly off its rubbish,I feel alot of people are deluding them selves because they want it to work everywhere ... but it doesn't.

Well I'm not deluding myself...lol [img]http://forums.nvidia.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yes the 2d smoke coming from cars is anoying(not the fire smoke,but the white smoke you don't see often)..but that's the only thing I don't like...

I use 40% depth and high convergence on a 100inch projector screen and it all looks very exceptable...
Crossair with high convergence looks like it's in the middle of the screen ,and so does the fog...
If I use low convergence ,then both are like you said "in your face",but with some convergence adjustment this isn't the case...

I think this game has better 3d then Deus Ex and DeadSpace ,no "lighting"ghosting either...

Please can someone tell me which settings for the video.scr file are best for maximum quality and 3D?

Thanks :)

[b]YOU CAN[/b] disable shadows completely by setting both spotshadowmapsize and shadowmapsize to (1). Lowering any other graphical setting really shouldn't change anything since it's mainly texts and shadows that give the 3D issues (From what I've seen). You can throw Vsync() in there if you want but it never seems to kick in. Either forcing it on via the Nvidia CP or just leaving the stereoscopic field seems to do the trick if memory serves correctly.

I keep getting HTML5 not supported for the video. Sometimes they work for me other times not. The only issue 3D vision has is with shadows and with about 40% depth the issue resolves itself. The only other weird effect is white puffy smoke which is rare to come by and 2D crosshair and names on 40%+ or so depth. Really sucks for me since I like to play on 100% on all my games >.<

I've played about 4 hours of Dead Island in 3D with the settings recommended in this thread for high convergence low depth and think that it looks pretty darn good. The issues really are very minor. Having great fun with the game so far.

Game is great. I have about 20 hours in and there is a sweet spot with low depth high convergence. Really loving this in 3d and really recommend it once you get that sweet spot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tridef doesn't work with Nvidia glasses, so although it may be brilliant, it not much use in an nvidia forum!
