Can't Play Rune in 3D
I just downloaded Rune classic from Steam, and it looks beautiful in full HD, but it isn't running it in 3D. There is no stereoscopic setting in the advanced setting I could find. I loved this game, and it would be a real trip to play this in 3D. Help!

well, since it is directx7, which isn't supported by 3d vision, a workaround has to be found, like a dx8 or dx9 renderer that works with this version, or a opengl renderer converted via gldirect, or something like that.

Rune is in the list as supported. In fact, it is rated as excellent, and I imagine it would be. The game looks great. I played through Rune a few times back in the day, and it would be such a treat to play that in 3D. I loved that game. I wonder if the original Rune works, but somehow the Rune classic doesn't? It's really sad it doesn't work. :(

There is a new display engine for these early unreal games. It runs dx9+ (dx10 i believe) and enables 3D in the first Deus Ex and supports Rune.

Your mileage may wary. I had some artifacts with elements rendering at wrong depth. Primarily light glows. Shadows should be fine (there are almost none).

Thanks to everybody using my assembler it warms my heart.
To have a critical piece of code that everyone can enjoy!
What more can you ask for?

I don't think that works for the new Steam release, though. Should work for the original CD release!

Well, I asked in the forums if the old renderers would work, apparently not as some of the code has changed. http://www.rune-world.com/content/rune-classic-and-d3d9-renderers

As for the list, which I assume is the one inside the driver control panel, it is fully out-dated, it still has the list of games that worked under the old, pre-3D Vision driver.

Yeah, I started a thread there, with Steam, and here. Thanks for your help. I guss it's just Steam's version that you can't play it in 3D. It's sad. This game would be KILLER in 3D. Tho, I think it would be a bit of a headache...
