The Secret World fix?
  1 / 2    
Please can someone whip up some magic and look into DX9 fix for this game? It's now free to play, if anyone hasn't played it the puzzles are just fantastic as well as the immersion. A fix would really be appreciated, game has DX9 and DX11 under video options.

Steam store says: "An NVIDIA “The Way It’s Meant to Be Played” title, featuring support for 3D Vision, TXAA and more." Is it broken?

Yep, its more than broke... I cant even take a screenshot. The shadows are sooo bad, sky is 2D and the other toons are out of perspective. I'd rate it as unplayable... Is there another wway of taking a screenshot without the F2 method?

Maybe contact Funcom? If it's officially supported (and research says it is), maybe they'll fix it. Google says it used to work really well.

DX11 works for 3D on this one, DX9 is totally broken.

Yeah, I bought this game too. Too many issues in DX11 for me to enjoy it and play the thing; WAY too many issues in DX9. I could remove the naughty effects in DX9 but there are so many I bet it would kill the game. Issues in DX11 are 2D fog in most areas, doubling of textures in fog, god-rays and some bloom effects are rendered 2D too. The 2D fog kills me because it is subtle but ever present. 5 / 10 for The Secret World 3D in DX11 m'afraid. I can tolerate 7/10s nowadays. Have you tried Guild Wars 2? So good! You do need to apply a Helix fix but it's bloomin awesome. 9/10!

Should I contact Nvidia or Funcom to fix it?

Funcom. It was broken before last drivers. I bought Secret World in the Steam sales and it has never worked for me. I bet it was a game patch. Funcom most likely upgraded game effects without considering 3D.

Its a possibility a different profile on DX9 will work since game was assigned a profile on DX11.

If someone is interested enough to put in some legwork, try the game with 3Dmigoto as a possible DX11 fix. If it runs and you can find shaders, I'm pretty sure we can at least disable fog and bloom, which might get to 7/10 for Andy's bar.

That's disappointing if it's been broken in DX11, it was in pretty good shape with some interface fixes it would have been awesome.

I think fog should be kept since that is an important part of the world in this game. It's probably quicker for the community to fix the game than for Funcom or Nvidia.

Oh wow that is broken. One eye renders fine, the other eye renders a bald head, hands and feet only, and the hands and feet are different textures to the complete toon. DX11
