3D Fix Manager - Application for installing 3D Vision Fixes + Hotkey Editing Support
14 / 60
[quote="rustyk"]Thanks for the big update Paul, will have a play this weekend and let you know. For some reason I had an update failed message when I let it update, but I'm not 100% sure if that was the main update or when I ran a profile update.
Actually looks like it was the main update
Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall? If I click on change notes it says 18/05, but all I get now is the option to install new profiles, which always fails.[/quote]
Seems like the program has thrown an exception on startup - at least I think so because "About" tab is not initialized on your screenshot. You can check error_log.txt in 3D Fix Manger directory to see if something went wrong during startup of the application.
Best thing will probably be to redownload the application from helixmod.blogspot or my download page. You can then try to replace the "Fixes" folder from the new version with the old version and see if it still works. When you did not customize fix profiles you can skip this step.

Hi greatxerox,
Sorry, I could not add all information to the fix profile of "monstrum" because the author of the fix did not mention the name of the game exe on helixmod.blogspot (I could only guess that it is monstrum.exe but I don't know for sure). Without the name I cannot create the files for Nvidia Inspector and it's also useless to add the game launcher argument when the name of the exe is unknown.
If you tell me the name of the game exe I'll complete the fix profile and ship a fix profile update :)

Change Notes Version 1.18:
[list]
[.]New: User can gloably set how to start games (either via Steam client, Game Launcher Exe or individually driven by fix profile) in Settings tab[/.]
[.]New: Launch arguments can be passed to Steam client - if game launcher arguments are set in fix profile the game can be still started via Steam client now[/.]
[.]Bugfix: "Force Compatibility Mode" - checkBox was not initialized[/.]
[.]Bugfix: When saving hotkeys for 3dmigoto an unwanted ini entry was created - 3dmigoto signalised this with a sound[/.]
[.]Bugfix: When clicking on "modify values"-button in fix profile tab a GUI layer was not hidden[/.]
[/list]
Only a small update. I have changed the method for launching steam games - this supports launch arguments now. So 3D Fix Manager always tries to launch the games via Steam client now and not by calling directly the game exe when an argument is set. This prevents popping up a Steam warning window where you get asked if you really want to launch the games with the arguments.

Change Notes Version 1.19:
[list]
[.]New: Button for switching application to compact gui size[/.]
[.]Changed: Sending fix profiles data to server is now bound to a button and is not automatically triggered any more[/.]
[.]Changed: When application window is out of visible screen it is correctly pushed back into the visible area (same behaviour as Firefox e.g.)[/.]
[.]Bugfix: When application window was maximized on secondary monitor this information was not saved when closing 3D Fix Manager[/.]
[.]Bugfix: Application crashed when creation of new fix profile was canceled[/.]
[.]Bugfix: Method for starting games could only be controlled via fix profile (other settings did not work due to a bug)[/.]
[.]Bugfix: Minimized window was not brought to front when clicking on the system tray icon[/.]
[.]Bugfix: Fixed a potential crash when sending profiles data to server [/.]
[/list]
I had to change the password for the MySQL server for data feedback. So older version do not support this feature any more and crash due to a bug when closing the app. If you still want to use an older version then go to Settings tab and uncheck "Send feedback data".
In the new version sending fix profile data is bound to a button and not triggered any more when you close the application. So everybody who wants to contribute should click on it in "Settings" tab as soon as he has made an important change to a fix profile (for example added a missing game exe or corrected a relative install path) for reporting this to me. Thank you.

[list]
[.]New: User can set an individual desktop refresh rate for 3D mode in Settings tab[/.]
[.]Changed: Sending fix profiles data is triggered when user customizes a fix profile[/.]

Now fix profile data is sent to the server when the user clicks on the "Save"-Button in "Edit Profile" tab. I changed this because I don't have the feeling that anyone will ever click on the "Send"-button in version 1.19. I think this is the best option because only 1 data record is sent to the mysql server when clicking on the "Save" button - traffic is kept low.

has anybody else been experiencing constant crashes whenever you try to select any profile? The only one I can click is bf4's profile, any other one will make 3d fix manager crash right away
edit: apparently 3d fix manager won't crash if I click the "hotkey" tab on bf4's profile first and then click on another installed game profile however as soon I click on on the "installation" tab it crashes right away
edit 2: I tried version 1.17 and it worked for me, I also gave 1.2, 1.18, 1.19 a try, not a single one of these is working. I updated 1.17 to 1.3 and it started crashing all over again so for now I'm gonna stick to 1.17

Sorry, this is a bug. It happens when 3D Fix Manager is not able to detect where Steam client is installed or when Steam is not installed at all.
I've changed the method for starting steam games in version 1.18 - it now depends on finding where steam is installed. 3D Fix Manager reads windows registry for this to get the install location. When the search fails (no registry key found for steam client) a variable in the program code is not initialized and the application crashes.
Battlefield 4 profile does not make 3D Fix Manager crash because there is no Steam App ID set in the fix profile. This prevents reaching the part of the code where the uninitialized variable is. Dead Rising 2 should crash the application. However it doesn't when the applications starts up and dead rising 2 is pre-selected or if Dead Rising 2 is not installed on Steam (all crashes are caught during startup - but an error_log.txt is created in 3D Fix Manager folder)
I've fixed the crash by now but I'm wondering why Steam is not found on your computers? Did you install Steam regularly and is it listed under Windows Control Panel / Programs? In Settings Tab of 3D Fix Manager - is there a red text showing that Steam was not found?
I've also added a few default paths by now to check if steam is installed there like C:\program files(x86)\steam, D:\steam, E:\steam... when windows registry search was not successful. When this also fails 3D Fix Manager will start the game directly via game exe and not via Steam App ID.
I'll release the fixed version of 3D Fix Manager this week.

[quote="silentbrains"]Ah, that's interesting! Yeah, I saw both of those, Steam was not detected in 3D Fix Manager nor did it show up in Programs. I reinstalled Steam and it appears to be fixed now. Thank you so much!
I think I might have reinstalled Windows without reinstalling Steam, and Steam didn't complain so I forgot about it. Oops![/quote]
Cool that this fixed the issue :). So the bug is indeed related to Steam being not found.
You said Steam did not show up in Programs - did this have a negative effect on your desktop shortcuts of your games? Did they still work? For example the desktop shortcut for "Orcs must die! Unchained" has the following command to launch the game: "steam://rungameid/427270". I would guess that this command cannot be interpreted if Steam is not installed properly. I used this method for starting steam games in versions older than 1.18 and just wondering if this method worked for you.

I see, thank you for your reply.
Steam was not found on my computer because it has been on my second hard drive for over 4 years, I reinstalled/formated/reseted windows multiple times but reinstalling steam was never really required, all you need to do is go into the folder and create a new shortcut.
edit: I re-installed steam on top of the my current steam folder to restore all registry entries, 3d fix manager v1.2 is working perfectly now.
edit 2: "did this have a negative effect on your desktop shortcuts of your games? Did they still work? For example the desktop shortcut for "Orcs must die! Unchained" has the following command to launch the game: "steam://rungameid/427270"."
Shortcuts worked fine, prior to this I never really had any negative side effect from running steam without properly installing it
on an unrelated note I'm not sure if this is a known bug however attempting to install portal 2 3d fix will make 3d fix manager crash, the only way to make it work is by placing all files inside the game's folder manually.

Hi greatxerox,
Sorry, I could not add all information to the fix profile of "monstrum" because the author of the fix did not mention the name of the game exe on helixmod.blogspot (I could only guess that it is monstrum.exe but I don't know for sure). Without the name I cannot create the files for Nvidia Inspector and it's also useless to add the game launcher argument when the name of the exe is unknown.
If you tell me the name of the game exe I'll complete the fix profile and ship a fix profile update :)

So 3D Fix Manager always tries to launch the games via Steam client now and not by calling directly the game exe when an argument is set. This prevents popping up a Steam warning window where you get asked if you really want to launch the games with the arguments.

Change Notes Version 1.19:
I had to change the password for the MySQL server for data feedback. So older version do not support this feature any more and crash due to a bug when closing the app. If you still want to use an older version then go to Settings tab and uncheck "Send feedback data".
In the new version sending fix profile data is bound to a button and not triggered any more when you close the application. So everybody who wants to contribute should click on it in "Settings" tab as soon as he has made an important change to a fix profile (for example added a missing game exe or corrected a relative install path) for reporting this to me. Thank you.

Change Notes Version 1.2:
Now fix profile data is sent to the server when the user clicks on the "Save"-Button in "Edit Profile" tab. I changed this because I don't have the feeling that anyone will ever click on the "Send"-button in version 1.19. I think this is the best option because only 1 data record is sent to the mysql server when clicking on the "Save" button - traffic is kept low.

edit: apparently 3d fix manager won't crash if I click the "hotkey" tab on bf4's profile first and then click on another installed game profile however as soon I click on on the "installation" tab it crashes right away
edit 2: I tried version 1.17 and it worked for me, I also gave 1.2, 1.18, 1.19 a try, not a single one of these is working. I updated 1.17 to 1.3 and it started crashing all over again so for now I'm gonna stick to 1.17
I've changed the method for starting steam games in version 1.18 - it now depends on finding where steam is installed. 3D Fix Manager reads windows registry for this to get the install location. When the search fails (no registry key found for steam client) a variable in the program code is not initialized and the application crashes.
Battlefield 4 profile does not make 3D Fix Manager crash because there is no Steam App ID set in the fix profile. This prevents reaching the part of the code where the uninitialized variable is. Dead Rising 2 should crash the application. However it doesn't when the applications starts up and dead rising 2 is pre-selected or if Dead Rising 2 is not installed on Steam (all crashes are caught during startup - but an error_log.txt is created in 3D Fix Manager folder)
I've fixed the crash by now but I'm wondering why Steam is not found on your computers? Did you install Steam regularly and is it listed under Windows Control Panel / Programs? In Settings Tab of 3D Fix Manager - is there a red text showing that Steam was not found?
I've also added a few default paths by now to check if steam is installed there like C:\program files(x86)\steam, D:\steam, E:\steam... when windows registry search was not successful. When this also fails 3D Fix Manager will start the game directly via game exe and not via Steam App ID.
I'll release the fixed version of 3D Fix Manager this week.

Cool that this fixed the issue :). So the bug is indeed related to Steam being not found.
You said Steam did not show up in Programs - did this have a negative effect on your desktop shortcuts of your games? Did they still work? For example the desktop shortcut for "Orcs must die! Unchained" has the following command to launch the game: "steam://rungameid/427270". I would guess that this command cannot be interpreted if Steam is not installed properly. I used this method for starting steam games in versions older than 1.18 and just wondering if this method worked for you.

I see, thank you for your reply.
Steam was not found on my computer because it has been on my second hard drive for over 4 years, I reinstalled/formated/reseted windows multiple times but reinstalling steam was never really required, all you need to do is go into the folder and create a new shortcut.
edit: I re-installed steam on top of the my current steam folder to restore all registry entries, 3d fix manager v1.2 is working perfectly now.
edit 2: "did this have a negative effect on your desktop shortcuts of your games? Did they still work? For example the desktop shortcut for "Orcs must die! Unchained" has the following command to launch the game: "steam://rungameid/427270"."
Shortcuts worked fine, prior to this I never really had any negative side effect from running steam without properly installing it
on an unrelated note I'm not sure if this is a known bug however attempting to install portal 2 3d fix will make 3d fix manager crash, the only way to make it work is by placing all files inside the game's folder manually.
