Greetings MechWarriors,

Please let us know about your experience with the recent addition of 3D Vision Support!

[RotS Targe]

Do you need DX11 for it to work? I can't run 11 because it crashes, but my monitor is 3D capable, yet with 9 selected I do not have the option to activate 3D.

[Matthew Craig]

Should work fine for DX9 please ensure you have enabled stereoscopic rendering in the driver control panel. The 3D option in game won't enable unless it detects driver support.

[Rhialto]

ABSOLUTLY AMAZING! Too many players underestimate all the pleasure of playing with DEPTH. This game is sooo about depth anyway. I love watching the ennemy far away and feel the distance. Like I've been saying for months with my signature, I play MWO in 3D for a long time and could not wait for official support of it. I also just announced it here.

I must admit that today's patch adding corsshair depth is damn cool, and I also love new target boxes.

Now... my request for a long time already, please fix Damage Glow in 3D!

Just downloaded new driver but haven't installed it. I think I can safely install... but I'm not in SLI.

Were you playing in 3D before today? Have you checked the 3D Vission support box? Have you tried previous driver?

[CrispRice]

no I have not played I was waiting for official support also I build gaming pc's the box is checked and 3D is enabled in my driver cp the game is not activating 3D yet all my other 3D games activate fine

[CrispRice]

fixed my 3d issue full screen must be activated in game options

Seems to work pretty well overall, the HUD bracket depth could perhaps be increased a bit as I find it a bit odd on the eyes : the weapons, health and targeting info as well as the cross-hair group appears to be deeper.

I wonder if the circle in the targeting reticule could benefit from being at a further depth than the torso crosshairs.

Arm cross-hair doesn't work properly : The whole hud follows if you hold the Ctrl key to look with the arms only.

The rest seem pretty good so far !

[CrispRice]

yes the actual world needs more depth seams like just the cockpit and HUD have depth but not the rest of the world ie buildings and mechs look 2d no depth

[theCheek]

So I've got it all enabled, and its clearly 3D, and its clearly beautiful!

HOWEVER! When it comes to playing in 3D there's some major problems:

1) Targetting reticule does not seem to go Red any more when you score some damage. When at range this is a big problem.

2) Advanced Zoom module makes the targetting reticule weird. I think its because its not rendering at depth, so when trying to focus on a mech, it doubles.

3) DX11 and 3d vision makes my framerate drop down to under 10fps. It only works for me on DX9.

Running a Geforce690, with SLI enabled.

[Matthew Craig]

I'll try and find some time in the coming months to iron out the remaining issues with mech damage glow, target reticule not going red etc. and hopefully provide some tuning cvars for the various depths to allow them to be adjusted to taste.

EVGA GTX 780 Ti build 340.52
My mech's arms seem to be stuck on arm lock when 3D is enabled. Also the crosshairs render at wonky distances. Very hard to aim with any precision. With A/C's I miss completely and with lasers I feel like I'm walking in a M2.
Very pretty, though.

** This topic should be pinned, like others threads reporting on 1.3.307

I haven't tested under DX11 because I reported a problem twice and it never got looked at si I'm sticking to DX9 (dunno what improvement I would get with DX11 anyway, my framerate is fine at full details already, if it's better visual then maybe I would be interested).

I was also playing with ars locked but now that there is a key assigned to this that I can hold when needed, I'll switched to unlock.

If there is something I would like improved, it's showing the distance above or below the crosshair and make it follow crosshair depth. Like it is now our eyes are working hard to focus on front to read the distance then go focus again far at crosshair. Before that patch, both distance and crosshair were at same depth and it was less tiring.

[Rhialto]

Ok I tested with unlocked arms and it's true that arm reticule is not always following arms.

[Event Horizon]

First of all, thank you for working on 3d Vision support in MWO.

Right now the arm reticle (circle) is not properly following the arm weapons.

Also with Track IR the reticle follows head movement, causing your reticle to lose alignment with actual weapons.

More depth too please! Thank you!

First of all, thanks for getting 3D implimented!!! Other than what's already been mentioned about various HUD depths, it also seems that adjusting depth via the roller on my 3D vision emitter makes no difference. The Nvidia overlay appears and shows that it is attempting to adjust depth, but it does not appear to affect anything. Is there any way to adjust this in game?

[L3GR0DANCER]

Good to see responding to feedback in the 3d vison support thread is such a high priority for the devs. /golfclap

Meanwhile, in the module change feedback thread...

[JimboFBX]

First, thanks for taking the time to do this. Here's my feedback:

1. The crosshair feels too small when it zooms away. I don't mind that it gets smaller but most of the time I'm aiming at something with a much smaller crosshair than I'm used to and it's distracting
2. Arm reticle always seems locked... or something. I only tried this on one mech but seems like others have similar issues.
3. The 3d is fake. This put 3d vision users in an uproar when crysis 2 was fully 3d vision ready, only to lie and use fake 3d. You can't have much visual difference otherwise you get graphical artifacts. My understanding is that the engine supports real dual-rendering 3d but you have to enable it. Changing r_stereoMode to 1 doesn't appear to do anything.
4. Crosshairs don't appropriately adjust Z-depth for changes to the eye dist/screen dist (tricks to change the convergence).
5. I'd rather that the cockpit and HUD popped out of the screen and 0 convergence was the outside directly in front of the cockpit. Currently there doesn't appear to be any way to get the cockpit to pop out, and likewise the cockpit seems flat when you crank up the depth
6. The 3d menu option isn't available unless you enabled the 3d vision driver beforehand. 3d vision has a hot key to enable it, and I generally do not enable it by default because most games do not support it, and even if they did I don't always want to use it.

Same here... I use a built-in monitor emitter so no roller and I usually press CTRL-F3 and CTRL-F4 to change the depth and like you I see the overlay bar raise/lower but no change. Worst, when I press CTRL-F4, MWO see it as F4 so I always switch from 1st person view to 3rd and vice-versa.
