Hey, i stumbled on this by accident, but loading up my first game with the new patch, the 3dVision setup automatically activates when i go into a game.
this has been doing it since patch day 1, so no big surprise there.

it however was a surprise when i loaded in and found that the graphics were ghosted (and frame rate went to hell and back)
i put on my glasses, and vola! 3dVision in MWO!

that said, i realise its still in early release (if was even supposed to be released yet) so here are my initial impressions:

first off, it looks AMAZING!

3dVision toggle in options is still greyed out. this means that it goes to default setting (which for me is on) so if i don't want to play with it, i have to manually turn it off at the start of each game.

second, the framerate takes a MAJOR hit... i'm not talking half frame rate here... my system is pretty beefey now (even if it does sound like i'm boasting, but i just want to get the point across) it normally sits at about 70-80fps out of combat (maxes out at 120fps in mechlab). after this patch, it sits at 100fps in front end (and mechlab) but in game, i'm still getting 70fps most of the time (an occasional hit to 65 in melee combat) without 3dVision.
turn on 3dVision, frame rate hits 20 max, drops to 13-15 in close combat. OUCH!

thrid:
the cockpit is too "close" to the pilot physically, and some of the decorations are in the way of vision when convergance is set to higher than ~60% (your view position is sitting right "inside" some of the monitors - in YLW anyway
so what happens, is that the cockpit seperates too far, unless you have it on about 5-10% convergance, making it painful (literally) to see the battlefield, because one eye is seeing the cockpit in the way most of the time

Last:
Some parts of the HUD move with the convergance, like the kill (assist) notifications and weapon box, and on higher settings can be moved partially off the screen.

all in all though, the game looks spectacular with it on, and i'm looking forward to giving it a few more matches with it on, once my eyes stop aching...

Hmm, many times after i die and go into the spectator mode, the game shows really blurry. A lot of other people complaining about this as well.

Is that a 3D effect maybe?

no that is motion blurr.
it's default on in spectator view and can not be changed.

No. I think it is a bug. If you are being rocked by missiles when you die the motion blur caused by the missiles carries over to spectator mode. If you aren't being hit by missiles (or whatever causes the blur when you die) then spectator mode is clear. I get this about 1/4 to 1/2 the time.

The 3D showed up for me for one day and then disappeared. I only saw the game in 3D while the Piranha Hunt was taking place.
