World of Warcraft used to work flawlessly, now unplayable in 3D

The mouse is in 2D which is a pain but you can lower depth (which just isn't as cool) or just get used to aiming at the center of the two mouse icons.
Enjoy your purchase mate! I am :)[/quote]

first please excuse my english. It is not my native language.
I ordered the 3D Vision Kit yesterday (the one with Samsung monitor). It should arrive tomorrow hopefully.
Today morning I found this forum and thread and now I am a little annoyed or unsure. My most popular game is WOW. Especially for this I bought the 3D Vision system. But there seems to be heavy problems. I am running a GTX280 SLI sytem with quadcore cpu.
In the beginning of this thread I read the information to use 190.62 graphic card drivers and the v1.11 driver cd for 3d vision. Can I expect WOW will run and perform fine with these drivers ? Or do I have to do anything other actions?
Thanks for information!

WoW works perfectly. What isn't perfect is how to set it up. User simply don't know how to set it up correctly, which is what this thread is for. Anyways, different people have different problems. As in your case, 3D vision does not utilize SLI with the older drivers, meaning that you either have to use 1 card with the old driver, or set the convergence of the driver and change the WTF setting in WoW with the new driver.
WoW 3D works perfectly fine. 3D cursor works fine, sometimes it is difficult to click on the UI if the depth is set high. Some mods are very hard to use in 3D like iceHUD where the UI itself is 2D, but the char is in 3D. Over all it is the best game i tried so far in 3D.
If you play WoW, please post whether or not it works in 3d so we can figure out the solution before Blizzard/Nvidia come up with a patch for it.

It isnt perfect for me, far from it. You can only control the depth, not convergence. I have two mouse pointers a lot of the time. If i revert to the october 2009 drivers it works perfectly fine with some damn fine convergence settings I can get amazing pop out. With the latest it is,. well Poo :D

I could be way off here (and I usually am according to my wife) but the workaround slowly stopped working for me. Things started to double over about a 2 week period. I was tampering with it last night and i was able to get a woking map, text and my pop out affect actually came back (which I lost by doing the work around). It appeared and I will confirm tonight, that the settings in WOW are not tied to the CTRL setting we adjust via Nvidia. I am sure most of you know this but if you find the happy medium between the two it works fine. I wish I could be more descriptive.
Basically in WOW my 3D sliders were at the lowest setting and I was still getting doubling. I severely increased my 3D WOW sliders (about 3/4 the way) and then messed with the Nvidia CTRL F3/4/5/6 to get it the way I liked. Then I went back and made minor adjustments to the 3D WOW sliders. They seem to work against each other but once you find the "sweet" spot, it will work. The map is still slightly, and I mean a little, off but now I have the look I had with the original drivers. I will try to write up a step by step in the next couple of days. It is by no means fixed but at least we can get the depth and convergence we once had.

For these workarounds people are suggesting...do you have to do it every time you hit a loading screen (instances, portals, loading in the game, etc.) or does it stay for you? It's clearly broken for me because for the amount of time it takes tweaking it...it breaks in an instant when I do most things.

The only thing I have had to do on each loading is increase the Nvidia Screen Depth to my liking. It take 3 secs. Yeah, I know it is still a pain but I will deal with it until it is fixed. Tried playing in 2D and it just doesn't compare.

As I expected, after playing around with this last night, I am way off, kinda. I can get the depth and popout I want (about half of each). I can get in-game text, icons, and my journal/character/inventory screen to work. It is that @#$% map with quests screen that does not work. How come I can get everything else to work but that. It is tolerable for now. This game in 3D is amazing.

It is a one time fix to me. After the gxStereoConvergence = 1 along with the ctrl f5/f6/[b]f7[/b] fix, wow is perfect and doesn't require any other changes. reloadui, logout, exit game, and reboot don't break the setting. However, I didn't play with the in game depth/convergence setting since the change. No ui or map is double version if i take my glasses off. No part of the ui or map is flowing.

a short update. My 3D Vison set arrived yesterday. I am using the old driver cd 1.13. Disabled hardware cursor in WOW. And everything seems to be fine. Only one except, I can´t use my SLI array. In SLI mode I have extrem flickering within the glasses. But WOW is not as much hardware intensive to need SLI. Using only one graphic card is fine for me with all settings on highest.

So, as we are about a month out from the last release of the 3dvision drivers, is there an ETA for the next rev, one that fixes the WOW ui issues? I have the new alienware Monitor so cannot roll back and the constant tweaking every time some new UI element is loaded from WOW is getting really frustrating. With the fact that WOW is arguably the most played game in 3d, i find it curious that a patched driver wasnt announced the day after the last driver shipped. I mean, everyone has said that the old drivers work flawlessly, so, what up NVDIDA?

After some minor work I got my 3d settings to save properly and only very rarely have to adjust anything further. For me the 3d effect is somewhat minimal but it is nice. I tried turning the depth up more using the wheel on the emitter, but with the tooltips and cursor so far on the front plane it can be very difficult/exhausting to keep readjusting my eyes back and forth.
One BIG issue I've noticed is that whenever I load up WoW, about 10-15 minutes into my session the screen will go black for roughly 10 seconds. I have had that happen before but it was generally due to OCing my card and the video drivers resetting, I have since removed all OCing and the black screen only happens in WoW and only when 3D is active (at least the checkbox to enable it in the WoW video options). Also, I have gotten very generic hardware error blue screens while using 3d vision in WoW. It's less predictable than the black screen, but it tends to happen if I play with 3D active for more than an hour or so. The screens give me no usable information to research further. Both of those things are only in WoW. I have played Avatar and Batman:AA for hours at a time with ZERO issues.
Some of my specs: Acer GD235HZ monitor, GTX 275 + 9800 GT for PhysX, Core i7 920, 6gb RAM.
Is this some sort of glitch having to do with the beta support for tri/quad SLI in the newest 3D drivers? The black screen is only a minor inconvenience but the blue screen is obviously bad when I'm trying to heal an instance and suddenly have to reboot my computer!

i have my depth set at 80% in the nvidia control panel. When i start up wow my emitter depth is set at ~15% automatically. I can then manualy turn the dial to 100%.
When i enter game i have to disable hardware cursor. Other than that from this point the 3d is perfect. Everything including the map, cooldowns, and txt is at the right depth. This stays in perfect 3d throughout all loads.
I have the 3d option ingame enabled with the wow default values loaded (hence game starting at around 15%).
However, if i alt-tab i do get the same problem described in this thread. All sorts at wrong depths. I can quickly fix this by going to the wow 3d interface in the options. I then click, not move, the upper of the two sliders. Everything then sets itself to the right depths. I then have to turn the dial back up on the emitter from 15-100%.

Sounds like you're using an older driver and not the latest broken one...this is how WoW always was. I wish I could use the older driver with the Alienware monitor...I tried using it as a generic CRT and no luck.
But anyway I find that with WoW, instead of alt tabbing just go into video options and uncheck Full Screen (go into Window mode). It's faster than alt tabbing most of the time because sometimes WoW lags a bit with alt tabbing and it doesn't mess up the 3d.

The mouse is in 2D which is a pain but you can lower depth (which just isn't as cool) or just get used to aiming at the center of the two mouse icons.

first please excuse my english. It is not my native language.
I ordered the 3D Vision Kit yesterday (the one with Samsung monitor). It should arrive tomorrow hopefully.
Today morning I found this forum and thread and now I am a little annoyed or unsure. My most popular game is WOW. Especially for this I bought the 3D Vision system. But there seems to be heavy problems. I am running a GTX280 SLI sytem with quadcore cpu.
In the beginning of this thread I read the information to use 190.62 graphic card drivers and the v1.11 driver cd for 3d vision. Can I expect WOW will run and perform fine with these drivers ? Or do I have to do anything other actions?
Thanks for information!

WoW works perfectly. What isn't perfect is how to set it up. User simply don't know how to set it up correctly, which is what this thread is for. Anyways, different people have different problems. As in your case, 3D vision does not utilize SLI with the older drivers, meaning that you either have to use 1 card with the old driver, or set the convergence of the driver and change the WTF setting in WoW with the new driver.
WoW 3D works perfectly fine. 3D cursor works fine, sometimes it is difficult to click on the UI if the depth is set high. Some mods are very hard to use in 3D like iceHUD where the UI itself is 2D, but the char is in 3D. Over all it is the best game i tried so far in 3D.
If you play WoW, please post whether or not it works in 3d so we can figure out the solution before Blizzard/Nvidia come up with a patch for it.

It isnt perfect for me, far from it. You can only control the depth, not convergence. I have two mouse pointers a lot of the time. If i revert to the october 2009 drivers it works perfectly fine with some damn fine convergence settings I can get amazing pop out. With the latest it is,. well Poo :D

Basically in WOW my 3D sliders were at the lowest setting and I was still getting doubling. I severely increased my 3D WOW sliders (about 3/4 the way) and then messed with the Nvidia CTRL F3/4/5/6 to get it the way I liked. Then I went back and made minor adjustments to the 3D WOW sliders. They seem to work against each other but once you find the "sweet" spot, it will work. The map is still slightly, and I mean a little, off but now I have the look I had with the original drivers. I will try to write up a step by step in the next couple of days. It is by no means fixed but at least we can get the depth and convergence we once had.
Sorry for the novel.

The only thing I have had to do on each loading is increase the Nvidia Screen Depth to my liking. It take 3 secs. Yeah, I know it is still a pain but I will deal with it until it is fixed. Tried playing in 2D and it just doesn't compare.

As I expected, after playing around with this last night, I am way off, kinda. I can get the depth and popout I want (about half of each). I can get in-game text, icons, and my journal/character/inventory screen to work. It is that @#$% map with quests screen that does not work. How come I can get everything else to work but that. It is tolerable for now. This game in 3D is amazing.
What was the last driver to work? <-----------------------------please
I think I am going to roll back to that one.

It is a one time fix to me. After the gxStereoConvergence = 1 along with the ctrl f5/f6/[b]f7[/b] fix, wow is perfect and doesn't require any other changes. reloadui, logout, exit game, and reboot don't break the setting. However, I didn't play with the in game depth/convergence setting since the change. No ui or map is double version if i take my glasses off. No part of the ui or map is flowing.

a short update. My 3D Vison set arrived yesterday. I am using the old driver cd 1.13. Disabled hardware cursor in WOW. And everything seems to be fine. Only one except, I can´t use my SLI array. In SLI mode I have extrem flickering within the glasses. But WOW is not as much hardware intensive to need SLI. Using only one graphic card is fine for me with all settings on highest.
I am really impressed...

One BIG issue I've noticed is that whenever I load up WoW, about 10-15 minutes into my session the screen will go black for roughly 10 seconds. I have had that happen before but it was generally due to OCing my card and the video drivers resetting, I have since removed all OCing and the black screen only happens in WoW and only when 3D is active (at least the checkbox to enable it in the WoW video options). Also, I have gotten very generic hardware error blue screens while using 3d vision in WoW. It's less predictable than the black screen, but it tends to happen if I play with 3D active for more than an hour or so. The screens give me no usable information to research further. Both of those things are only in WoW. I have played Avatar and Batman:AA for hours at a time with ZERO issues.
Some of my specs: Acer GD235HZ monitor, GTX 275 + 9800 GT for PhysX, Core i7 920, 6gb RAM.
Is this some sort of glitch having to do with the beta support for tri/quad SLI in the newest 3D drivers? The black screen is only a minor inconvenience but the blue screen is obviously bad when I'm trying to heal an instance and suddenly have to reboot my computer!

When i enter game i have to disable hardware cursor. Other than that from this point the 3d is perfect. Everything including the map, cooldowns, and txt is at the right depth. This stays in perfect 3d throughout all loads.
I have the 3d option ingame enabled with the wow default values loaded (hence game starting at around 15%).
However, if i alt-tab i do get the same problem described in this thread. All sorts at wrong depths. I can quickly fix this by going to the wow 3d interface in the options. I then click, not move, the upper of the two sliders. Everything then sets itself to the right depths. I then have to turn the dial back up on the emitter from 15-100%.

Sounds like you're using an older driver and not the latest broken one...this is how WoW always was. I wish I could use the older driver with the Alienware monitor...I tried using it as a generic CRT and no luck.
But anyway I find that with WoW, instead of alt tabbing just go into video options and uncheck Full Screen (go into Window mode). It's faster than alt tabbing most of the time because sometimes WoW lags a bit with alt tabbing and it doesn't mess up the 3d.

According to nvidia system information I am currently running driver 196.34.
