3D Vision configuration and guide for Descent 1 and 2, using the DXX-Rebirth source port.
Installation
- Install the original games wherever you want. The purpose of those installations is getting some game files.
- Download the latest version of DXX-Rebirth.
- Inside it there are two folders, "D1X-Rebirth" and "D2X-Rebirth". Place them where you want them to be and follow their README files (you will have to copy some files from the games in there).
- Download this file and extract its contents in the "D1X-Rebirth" and/or the "D2X-Rebirth" folders, where "d1x-rebirth.exe" and "d2x-rebirth.exe" are respectively.
- Open Nvidia Profile Inspector, go to the "Prototype" profile and add "d1x-rebirth.exe" and "d2x-rebirth.exe" to the profile.
- Disable PPI scaling in the game exe to ensure it doesn't interfere with downsampling, if you use a higher than native resolution.
- Play the game. You may need to enable 3D manually with the hotkey or the pyramid button, or use at least something else in 3D in the current Windows session before playing this game.
- The game can visually freeze when you change graphics options. Consider renaming the "opengl32.dll" file that comes with the fix to configure everything in 2D until you are done.
The ingame HUD (not the main menu) has plenty of depth by default with this fix. To change it, open "3DVisionWrapper.ini", search the "LegacyHUDSeparation" variable and change its number. 0.0 is screen depth.
Hotkeys
- l: low convergence.
- p: high convergence.
- o: even higher convergence.
