Call of Juarez Gunslinger

Has anyone tried this in 3d yet? Reviews are looking good, but no mention of 3d compatibility anywhere.

Never mind bought and tested. Game has excellent potential, needs crosshairs fix and shadows fix. It's a dx9 game so hopefully helix can work his magic. Very impressive game btw, def worth the purchase for the price. Again, it will look amazing if we can fix the 2 issues above. Convergence is unlocked aswell

not the mess CoJ: Cartel was and perfect Surround support. BUT, shadow in wrong depth; very annoying and distracting; crosshair is ok, since laser sight works.

I'm looking this game, yesterday i fix the crosshair and add low preset for aiming.....Shadows are kind of different from Dead Island Riptide - same engine - (wich with some tweaks works fine). I don't promise anything with shadows, the worst is disable. Yesterday i have a little time, so i don't have the time to tweak the video.src file for shadows.....today i have more time to look. The game is really fun....a great wild wild west shooter!! Also from what i read the game is short, like 4 or 5 hours of gameplay (i think that's the reason for the low price).

This is the fix for Crosshair [u]only[/u] (do it yesterday): [url]https://s3.amazonaws.com/dhr/CoJG.zip[/url] Someone can test this values in Video.scr (same than Dead Island Riptide): Shadows("High") ShadowMapSize(256) SpotShadowMapSize(4096) The game now crash, so i can't test....i look in Steam forum, people have some crash with 7.1 sound headphones connected...LOL..i dont have one, i only use my digital 8 channel output.

[quote="DHR"] Someone can test this values in Video.scr (same than Dead Island Riptide): Shadows("High") ShadowMapSize(256) SpotShadowMapSize(4096) [/quote] shadow still appears to be out of place. tested both in surround and single screen 1920x1080 resolutions. maybe someone with pure single screen setup would have different result.

Yeah, the shadows render differently here than they do in Riptide. In riptide they were "quite" ok without any modding but here they move along with the character so I doubt the Riptide shadow fix fixes things here. About the audio issues, in all of the games that use the Chrome engine (or at least in games made by Deep Silver), there have been issues with 7.1 audio. In Riptide and the latest Call Of Juarez, the audio goes all weird and loud if I have 7.1 turned on. I've manged to fix this issue by turning my audio settings to 5.1. After that everything works just fine. I'm using a Asus Xonar Essence ST soundcard with my headphones and with Dolby Headphone and 7.1 virtual speaker shifter enabled. To fix the audio issues in games from Deep Silver (and Chrome engine) I only have to choose 6 audio channels instead of 8 in the Xonar control panel(which is equal to switching from 7.1 to 5.1 surround). This issue has been in the Chrome engine for a long time and it's weird that it's still not fixed, and I'm sure the developer knows about this because I've mentioned this in their forums quite a few times and so have many others. But anyway hopefully someone can come up with a fix for the shadows in this game as it seems to be more in line with the old COJ games rather than the last modern day COJ, which was just awful.

BTW, this disable shadows: Shadows("High") ShadowMapSize(1) SpotShadowMapSize(1) i don't know why now the games crashes, with DIR i don't have any problem...i think the sound is not the cause, because yesterday i test the game with Tridef (generic profile) and the game works just fine in 3D (works without dynamics shadows, don't look so bad tbh)....it's with Nvidia s**t, i'm still on the Beta, not whql (maybe is a profile thing...today i will update drivers).

mmmm....they change some stuff. Example: now the data pak file where in DIR we can change FOV and others stuff devs put a f***ing password. Also noticed that add AA in the video.scr file also don't work (in DIR works just fine) Let me fix my game and will try to do something with the Shadows..if not i will disable through shader, the game don't look bad without shadows (i see it with tridef), at least in the beginning with all the sun in your face.

Re-installing the game fix my issue :) I try this tweak for shadows and at least for me that remove shadows. Shadows("High") ShadowMapSize(1) SpotShadowMapSize(1) The tweak for Dead Island improve a little shadows, but still are bad for playing like that. Now i will try to do something with shadows.
