Chronicles of Riddick - Assault on Dark Athena and 3DVision support
I have this game and unfortunately there is no 3DVision profile for it, and when you start the game, the IR emitter doesn't even turn on, meaning the driver doesn't even think a 3D game is playing. Has anyone tried renaming the exe or such to see if they can get 3D to work? What was the name of the original Butcher Bay exe (assuming that there is a 3DVision profile for that game, which I don't see why not, it was originally released in 2004).

I think the original was an OpenGL game. Hope this remake is DirectX or we're basically boned.

Well try renaming "DarkAthena" to something else.. wow or some other game and test it. I dont think its opengl if they install directx too. I could be wrong..

I'm betting Nvidia will add a profile for it in the next couple driver updates if it isn't opengl. Or you could try the changing-the-exe trick.

I just read this

Assault on Dark Athena is based on the Starbreeze Engine of the successor. This OpenGL construct is still impressive and due to Post effects like Depth of Field and effective lighting.

So I believe its OPENGL in this case .. no 3D at all thanks NV for no OPENGL drivers :(

It's true. But it's still a fun game. I thoroughly enjoyed the Riddick games.

Yea. Def fun. They actually not only made it fun but gave it a good story.Though I think first was much better.

Im pretty sure it uses doom 3 engine(also opengl) they felt alike in shadows,lighting.

FTR: Riddick, which comes with Athena, is worth playing in 2D IMO. Athena isn't though really....again, just IMO, i could see some people liking it a lot though.
