Castle of Illusion looks amazing BUT......

fps is locked to 30!!! Im sure someone will work out a way to unlock it. Apart from that, game loos great in 3d. Some minor halo around mickey when he hits a light source. But honestly i have noticed it once or twice. Convergence is unlocked also. Its a 2d/3d platformer.

Ive read that the steam page is full of bs. Its a port with 30 fps cap and could nearly fit on a cd. Not saying its bad but thats pretty lame.

I admit I'm a 60fps advocate even with 2D, but to me the difference becomes so much greater in stereo 3D. I just think stereo 3D running at 30fps looks so synthetic. It needs that 60fps for the animation to come to life for me. So this is sad news.

TBH, it didnt phase me too much in LA Noire. I guess it depends on the game. Stuttering bothers me a lot more then frame rate cap. Rather have have smooth 30 then stuttering 50.

I didnt have much performance issues with this game. Its totally playable in 3D out of the box. Sometimes you encounter glitches, like broken reflections and shadows (most of the time shadows are fine)

Try a different profile. TBH, Im not going to look at it mayb someone else will [url]http://helixmod.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-to-change-3d-vision-profile-and.html[/url] I kind of doubt its DX11 so can probably run a Tridef/3d vision stack if they get a profile. 30 Fps is a perk in this case since that probably what you'd get.

Very enjoyable in 3D, run smooth and only rare 3d glitches. 30fps cap is really not a problem. I recommend!

The 30fps cap is not a problem in this game. Is great to play this game in 3D...great memories :) I try to make a pop-up HUD, but if i insert a code in HUD shader i get a black screen. Fix a couple of shaders: [url]https://s3.amazonaws.com/dhr/Castle.of.Illusion.zip[/url]

I got bored, here. F3 to change hud depth. Three different options [url]https://s3.amazonaws.com/eqznew/here/ShaderOverride.zip[/url] Also fixed water. Not my type of game but its kind of like Trine where 3D adds a lot to it.

I didn't expect 3D to work so well. If it wasn't for water, I'd say it's 3D ready. It's fantastic in 3D! It's one of those games that make me think "how can people be satisfied by playing it in 2D only?" I'll try eqzitara's solution when I get home.

[quote="eqzitara"]I prob know why. Paste hud shaders.[/quote] Its Black Screen with sound...no game crash. Yesterday i do a quick look and go to bed (not a good day for me tbh). So, Thanks!! for add the HUD and water!! I will play this to the end for sure. Today night i will make a Sweetfx profile for this game.

@eqzitara So the HUD depth settings in that fix are governed in/by the DXSettings.ini? I took a quick look at the Shaders DHR posted vs yours, trying to learn by example :), and the 2 Shaders he provided looked identical in both ... unless I missed something. :)

He fixed two ghosting effects which were those two shaders. My hud shaders are different [The ones with all the if_statements] Overridemethod= 0 is default I knew something was up because as soon as I injected the hud shaders unchanged they were removed from game. I changed to overridemethod = 1 Got them to load. The whole game goes blank when selecting hud shader so just in case I wrote an if statement on hud shaders [I did not test if it was needed] If w = 1 if z = 0 Apply hud changes. This is because hud/2D elements will have these values. Then the information in dx9settings is for using Multiple keys pretty much.
