Someone uploaded shots on 3d vision live. As far as I heard shadows need to be turned off[2D]. Someone mentioned how in a different thread how to. If thats only issue, I have no idea. [url]http://photos.3dvisionlive.com/Morlizer/image/516ed9fb5ec346921a000128/[/url]

thanks eqzitara with so many games on my list to look at, and the frustration just getting COH2 inot a match, im going to leave it for time being, not sure it's worth the time investment. Maybe look again closer to release

Looks similar to the first one where the unit icons were 2D (as were the bloom effects) though I don't remember an issue with the shadows. I am glad the snow renders well as I read somewhere it was rendered procedurally.

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Well I have no idea, I have no interest in MP. it may just be that shadows need to be turned off but 3d vision rates it not recommended. Nvidia doesn't lightly give out that rating.

Put the evening on hold and recorded some videos of COH2 It does indeed look poor, ive found no way to remove the shadows. Ive also tried running under the prototype profile - and provided video. It might look a little better ? hard to tell to be honest Link below to the 'work-in-progess' page - from their you can select the games currently under testing including company of heroes 2 [url]http://www.3dsolutiongaming.com/wip/[/url]

Having now removed the shadows, the game looks much better, still far from perfect but much better, it is now playable in 3D I have added new screenshots showing game without shadows, unfortunately having removed the shadows my video recording failed, I will try again tomorrow.

the closed beta build available earlier was playable with shadows = 0 but with this build I got all funky stuff ;/ the units looks like they're floating over the ground and I have a lot of ghosting (have some earlier when there were lighting effects around like fire or units were shooting but it was bearable) it looked decent like on the other screenshots http://photos.3dvisionlive.com/tehace/album/51798ae65ec346375a000049/ now it looks like this http://photos.3dvisionlive.com/tehace/image/51afeebc5ec346234a000209/ edit: its the settings for me if I play on highest (ultra+) the game is messed up in 3d but looks decent (compared to closed beta) on high.

I read they had DX9 in previous build, that gone? If so, I agree don't buy it. That ant getting fixed. Yeah, I know that issue. Thanks for video. Lightings broken. [Increase/decrease convergence or move closer/back and models/textures the light go all over the place] Its so wierd, I barely ever saw it happen then I see it in your Payday, Company of heroes 2 like back to back.

in company of heroes 1 you had to set shaders to ultra to use DX10 I suppose its similar here the game on HIGH is way better in 3d for me than if I set it on ULTRA.

Edit the file configuration_system.lua file in directory c:\users\yourname\my documents\my games\company of heroes 2 and make this change: setting = "shadows", [u]value = 0[/u], valueType = 2, also for Open Beta make this change: setting = "shaderquality", [u]value = 2[/u], valueType = 2, This should stop the floating objects and make the game work as well as Beta Stress Test in 3D. Which is pretty good apart from the missing shadows.
