3D Vision Fix by mike_ar69


Fixed:
- Haloing/FOG/Smoke/Fire
- Shadows
- Lighting (most of it)
- Torches etc
- Put cross-hair at depth
- Disabled bloom and lens flares
Added:
- 2 Presets for convergence ("0" ).

Known Issues:
- This is a DirectX 9 fix only.
- Character customize screen does not work - you need to press Ctrl-T and do it in 2D
- Bloom/lens disabled also turns off the green lights on the head mask.
- There is a category of projection lighting that does not render with normal convergence, but only with convergence=0, or very close to it.  This is not a consequence of the fix, but rather is something I have not been able to fix (i.e. it happens because of 3D in the first place).  The two toggle presets have one defined for C almost=0, so if a given area "seems too dark", toggle the preset to check if a spotlight or something is not rendering.  The main issue with this is that you may think you are in a 'dark' place and hence hidden, when in fact you might not be - you need to pay more attention to the "cover" markers, or press "0" to toggle to C=0 to double check.

Summary
Out the box I think this game looks terrible in 3D, shadows are all wrong, there is double imaging and lights are wrong in many places.  With the fix I rate it as "Good".  There are issues remaining, but these do not make the game unplayable.  The fix has been gathering dust for 3 months so I thought I would put it out there.  I have not played much of the game, so there may be many more issues, if so I might pick it up again.
