Lords of the Fallen
  4 / 13    
Just thought it was worth mentioning, that it's possible to achieve a minimum frame rate increase of between 25-30 fps whilst dedicating a third GPU exclusively to PhysX with this game. In dealing with a lot of different variables i.e.; PhysX, SLI (both 2 way & 3 way), true stereoscopic 3D, 2D, the relative functionality of older drivers, Win 7 and Win 8.1..phew!, it's rather difficult to decide as to which sub category to actually post this under. Should anyone be mildly curious, I'd be happy to create a thread in order to go into further detail. Also, a big thank you to helifax for doing such a good job with your 3D shader fix for this game. Much appreciated as always.

================== Beta 3D Vision Fix ================== I got this in the steam sale and had a look at it. I have made some good progress in the first level, though I am only at the first 'boss', which I am having trouble defeating in order to go much further lol (i.e. I can't get past him...) Things fixed: 1. Shadows 2. Lights 3. God rays 4. Put hud at depth 5. Disabled some 2D bloom effects It's looking pretty sweet, but as I note I have not got far, so who knows what might crop up (there's only 42 files in the fix at the moment...). If people could have a look and send me save games I will release this on the blog next week. I corresponded with Helifax over this (he originally sent me a shadow shader to look at actually), so he knows that I have a fix on the go. I know that some cut-scenes have minor issues like shadows not being deep enough, but its hard to fix these systematically because they don't last long. Installation: 1. Make sure the game is installed and working in the first place 2. If you have Helifax's previous fix *uninstall it* 3. Set the game profile to NULL i.e. remove the game exe from all profiles. In particular, remove it from the Sniper 3 profile, and any other profile that might support CM. These profiles make loads of effects render in one eye only 4. Install the files to "<Steam Path>\SteamApps\common\Lords Of The Fallen\bin" 5. Set the hud depth in the "d3dx.ini" file as follows: [code] [Constants] x = 0.0 // Nothing y = 0.0 // Nothing z = 0.7 // Hud and Menus depth ** CHANGE THIS ONE. 1.0 is max depth, 0.0 is screen depth w = 0.0 // Nothing [/code] [img]https://forums.geforce.com/cmd/default/download-comment-attachment/62561/[/img] [img]https://forums.geforce.com/cmd/default/download-comment-attachment/62562/[/img] [img]https://forums.geforce.com/cmd/default/download-comment-attachment/62563/[/img]

Hi Helifax - I am not getting one eye rendering though, using the null profile. I only saw that using the Sniper 3 profile. Are you on the null profile? Could you send me a save game?

Great job, Mike and Helifax! Your passion keeps 3D Vision alive, very excited to see yet another game being worked on! The Christmas sales will definitely put the hurts on our wallets big time, if you guys keep this up :-)
