Vice city not launching in 3D?
Recently I purchased a Rockstar bundle for Steam. To my surprise, old games work in 3D! Max Payne, GTA3, San Andreas... but for some reason Vice City doesn't launch on 3D. Is there a fix or a special steps? Are there fixes for those games? Thanks!

GTA3 and Max Payne works "out of the box" and they're even older. All of them are Steam version. I don't know what DX is using, I launch through Steam, I guess DX9. Resolution can be selected in game (1920x1080, my native one, and even DSR -2715x1527- can be selected). These resolution also are in the other games. I tried a d3d9.dll hook but it seems like it is not taking it... I also thought about the videos at the start may be breaking something, but the same videos are on GTA3. Any way to force a dll or something?? Thanks.

Now 3D mode activates but only on the intro videos part, then the 3D goes off and the screen goes off, sometimes giving the app an unhandled exception :(

Sorry, I had a lot going on. While I had the game, I did not have it installed. I installed it and assigning it to 007 Legends makes it work in 3D. The Bloom is borked, which is typical of old games. Use the Shaderschool by bo3b to fix it, by removing the effect. Tested W7, 3D Vision 2560x1440@120, 368.39

OK, I used nVidia Inspector and IT WORKED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I have another issue now... :( GTA SA is not starting in 3D mode now, but there's a message on the screen: "attempt to run stereoscopic 3d in non-stereo display mode". Why may that be happening? Also, I have set the DSR in GTA3 and VC but when back to desktop, the resolution doesn't change back. Can that be fixed? Thanks.

I have set Disable fullscreen optimizations in SA exe and turned off my second screen and now seems to launch fine. Thanks for the support. I will look into the DSR problem.

The DSR problem seems to happen only on VC, GTA3 and Max Payne.
