3D Fix Manager - Download

November 14, 2020

• New: Added focus handling for game start. The game window is automatically forced into foreground 6 seconds after the game process was launched. Without this the user sometimes had to bring the window manually into foreground.
• Changed: Removed local driver hack for Vulkan fixed games as the latest Vulkan stereo driver uses DirectX 9 API for accessing the Nvidia 3D Vision hardware. This also means that Nvidia RTX 3070 / 3080 / 3090 cards work with Vulkan games in stereo 3D now.
• Changed: Adjusted uninstall procedure and ini file detection for Vulkan 3D fixes. The directory structure of the fixes changed with the latest update of the Vulkan stereo driver.
• Changed: Removed auto restore of 3D depth and convergence as this is not longer working with the latest version of the Vulkan stereo driver.
• Changed: Set 7zip as the default extractor when creating new fix profiles as it's much faster than the old extractor SharpCompress.
• Bugfix: CMU wasn't closed automatically after the game was terminated.
• Bugfix: 'Additional exe' wasn't created any more although enabled in fix profile. This prevented e.g. AoE 3 from working as this game needs a renamed copy of the original game executable.
• Bugfix: When a game process couldn't be shut down properly it could occur that "Play 2D / Play 3D" buttons were disabled permanently for all games.
• Bugfix: Hardware acceleration for the GUI wasn't disabled on next startup if the user has set hardware acceleration to off previously.

• New: 3D Depth and Convergence are saved persistently for Vulkan fixed games. Just press the usual keys CTRL + F3 / F4 to change 3D depth, CTRL + F5 / F6 to change convergence. CTRL + F7 saves convergence.
• New: Geforce driver can be installed via controls on "Driver" tab when no Geforce driver is installed yet.
• New: Added a toggle for enabling / disabling hardware acceleration for the application's GUI. Disable HW accleration if you experience abrupt crashes.
• New: Add a check whether a same-named third party DLL is already installed to the game directory. The check is processed before installing the 3D fix.
• Changed: When replacing DCH driver with default drivers in "Driver" tab Windows Update is prevented from wiping the freshly installed standard driver and replacing it with an old DCH driver.
• Changed: More obvious option in "Nvidia 3D Settings" tab to show global driver hack toggle.
• Changed: Re-enabled hardware rendering for the GUI. HW acceleration is disabled temporary while 3D is being enabled / disabled to avoid crashes.
• Bugfix: Fixed a potential crash on startup when the xml settings file got corrupted with illegal characters.
• Bugfix: Fixed wrong stereo on / off detection for non-3D Vision laptops using built-in monitor.
• Bugfix: Fixed wrong plattform detection for VulkanWrapper fixes. X32 was returned instead of x64.
• Bugfix: Wrong primary display name was shown in "Driver" tab when more than one display was connected to the PC.
• Bugfix: Intel or other graphics adapters were shown on "Driver" tab although it's only interest graphics adapter is Nvidia.
• Bugfix: Fixed broken translation for Ir Emitter in "Driver" tab.
• Bugfix: Fixed crash when Resorep DLL is installed to game directory.
• Bugfix: Compact GUI mode was broken

October 10, 2020

• New: Added stereo 3D support for Vulkan games (currently 4 games supported... more are incoming). Big thanks to Helifax for developing the Vulkan stereo 3D driver!
• New: Added "Drivers" tab. Here you can install both Geforce and 3D Vision driver and check for driver health.
• New: Whenever you click on "Play 3D" button and the stereo 3D driver is not installed you are redirected to the "Drivers" tab to show which 3D component is still missing. The tab provides a simple button to install driver components or fix things.
• New: Added error handling when latest Geforce driver is installed. Any Geforce driver beyond version 452.06 is currently unsupported regarding stereo 3D in DirectX 11 games. We apologize for any inconvenience and work on a solution.
• New: Added error handling when people use a laptop 2D monitor for showing anaglyph 3D mode. Nvidia for no reason forbids anaglyph 3D on a laptop monitor. This error case is caught now. For fixing the issue please connect an extra monitor to you PC.
• New: Added a new loading spinner when clicking on the "Play 2D", "Play 3D" buttons
• Changed: Updated 7zip wrapper and 7zip DLL - heavily improved performance for extracting 7zip compressed 3D fixes. E.g. Watch Dogs 2 requires only 30 seconds for extracting the 3D fix now. Formerly it took about 5 minutes to extract the heavily compressed 10 MB file to uncompress it to tje final large size of 1 GB. (Measurements were done a SSD)
• Changed: When installing the stereo driver or enabling 3D the application does not hang any more.
• Changed: Location of Steam client is detected in any case now. This is very important to auto-detect installed games.
• Changed: Framerate limiter is auto removed on app close. This ensures that the framerate limiter is removed at any case. It would formerly fail when people closed 3DFM while the game was still running.
• Changed: Windows Mixed Reality Portal fix is only processed when it is required. Formely it was done / undone no matter if a WMR headset was used.
• Bugfix: Some games showed HUD only while the rest of the screen was black. This bug happened because Nvidia encrypts the convergence driver setting and 3DFM wrote the encrypted setting back to the driver profile which resultat in insane high numbers for the convergence. Driver profiles with a wrong convergence are getting automatically repaired to make 3D work again.
• Bugfix: Fixed a bug where 3dmigoto got not updated on newer Windows 10 versions.

August 18, 2020

• New: Custom convergence and 3D depth ingame settings get auto saved to 3DFM and won't get lost after each Geforce driver update any more. The settings are saved individually for each display profile.
• New: You can filter games for the most popular game engines now which are: Unreal Engine 3/4 and Unity.
• Changed: Improved auto update mechanism for 3D fixes. Update notification for a single 3D fix is only showed to the user when the files on the server have been indeed updated. So far the notification popped up every time when the blog was updated which does not necessarily mean that the files got updated as well.
• Changed: Removed hangs / freezes when switching between tabs.
• Changed: Removed profile selection dialog on game start when user hasn't enabled a single option in any of the display profiles. It's senseless to show the dialog then.
• Changed: 3D fix / local driver hack do not get auto-disabled on game exit any more. This let's you the choice if you want to start games manually via Steam & co.
• Changed: The games list auto-scrolls down to the selected game after changing filter settings.
• Changed: Added PayPal.me addresses to make sending donations easier for the user.
• Bugfix: CMU didn't work any more when using local driver hack.

August 07, 2020

• New: Required driver hack for Win10 version > 1809 and Geforce drivers > 425.31 is applied locally via 3dmigoto now. This requires 3dmigoto to be updated which is done automatically.
• New: Global driver hack is used for games where we cannot update 3dmigoto without breaking the 3D fix
• New: Added detection whether 3D Vision IR emitter is physically connected to PC. Only if connected 3DFM will require and install the USB driver for it.
• New: Limiting framerate does not require RivaTuner Statistics Server any more. Instead Nvidia's new framerate limiter is preferrably used which was introduced with driver version 441.87. The framerate limit is automatically removed on game exit.
• New: Added a simple view for creating / editing profiles with only the most important settings visible.
• New: Added info how many games are currently shown in the games list.
• New: Added a flag in fix profile which sets whether 3dmigoto's software mouse cursor is required for side by side mode.

• New: Added a dialog which explains that the application gets minimized to system tray when hitting the close button.
• New: Added special handling for A Plague Tale: Innocense. Game config file is automatically configured now for setting required ingame options.
• Changed: The old global driver hack is still available in "Nvidia 3D Settings" tab. When you disable "Apply Geforce driver modification via 3dmigoto" global driver hack is set active.
• Changed: 3D Vision Setup Wizard is run silently now which makes driver installation more comfortable.
• Changed: Any changes to settings are safed immediately now instead of application exit which was too late.
• Changed: Updated DX12 hack for Shadow of the Tomb Raider which improves compatibility to different CPUs. Many thanks to TimFX!
• Changed: Faster loading of 3D screenshots into 3D Vision Photo Viewer.
• Bugfix: Titanfall 2 3D fix wasn't detected properly.

• Many thanks to: Schwing, Losti, Robert256, TadPole, Isaacvigo and everyone who helped. Without them 3D would be still broken on Windows 10 v. 1903 and later + current Geforce drivers.
• New: French translation was completed by Greatxerox! Many thx!
• New: For Win 10 v.1903 and higher a new toggle is visible in the top right corner for applying / undoing a modification for the Geforce driver. Toggling this on means we get full 3D compatibility back.
• New: Geforce driver modification is automatically applied when a game requires it on game start. Automatically undone on closing app or playing 2D mode.
• New: Restored 3D compatibility for Geforce DCH drivers. Warning: DCH drivers increase loading time of apps and games. So they are currently not recommended. Use standard ones instead.
• New: Added a detailed warning message when using DCH drivers. It also explains how to switch to "default" drivers.
• New: Added a button to download and install Geforce driver 425.31 automatically. This is the recommended driver as it still has 3D support without any hacks.
• New: As soon as 3D is enabled via Nvidia Control Panel the change is immediatly reflected in 3DFM. So both toggles are synchronized now.
• New: Added new tray icons indicating 2D and 3D mode. Also signalizes if driver modification is on / off by using different colors.
• New: Added new menu items for the tray icon to toggle 3D and the driver modification off / on.
• New: Added a warning message when the user tries to start 3D Vision setup wizard while RTSS is still running. This might cause a crash.
• New: Added toggle for fixing a crash with Windows Mixed Reality headsets.
• Changed: Improved checks if any stereo 3D component is missing or not installed correctly. 3DFM informs about them and tries to repair everything automatically.
• Changed: Improved start mechanism for Epic Game Store games by calling epic launcher protocol and Epic App ID.
• Changed: 3DFM is linked to MTBS3D thread instead of Geforce Forum now. Please go to MTBS3D Forum if you need any help.
• Bugfix: Fixed a bug where monitor entered 144 hz in stereo 3D mode when starting a game. This resulted in a red warning text.
• Bugfix: 3D mode was broken for Nvidia test application and DX9 windowed mode.

• New: Driver update feature automatically downloads the correct DCH or standard driver. So far just the standard driver was downloaded which didn't fit if the user already installed a DCH driver.
• New: Search path for epic game launcher is automatically added to the list of search paths
• Changed: For Windows 10 users the driver update dialog isn't shown any more when using v. 1903 or later. The reason is that this windows version was reported to be incompatible with current 3D Vision drivers.
• Changed: Optimized detection for Crysis 2 and some epic game launcher games

Posted January 31, 2019

• New: Added support for 3dmigoto's named variables
• Changed: Updated 3dmigoto files to version 1.3.14
• Changed: Improved search for games - for each game all potential install paths found via Registry search, search paths and custom install path are collected first and then searched for the game exe. The first path which contains the game exe is taken as the valid install path of the game. Custom install paths have the highest priorities in search, next is registry paths and the lowest priority is search paths.
• Changed: "Prioritize search paths over registry paths" option has been removed as it's no longer required
• Changed: Game search via Windows registry is faster now as some hard disk accesses have been removed
• Changed: From now on it's mandatory to set the game exe name in fix profiles - otherwise the game won't be found (stricter rule)
• Changed: When option "Cache detected games for faster app start" is enabled search via search paths isn't executed any more as this would take too much time if a lot of games are installed. This makes editing profiles a lot faster in this case.
• Bugfix: One version of the helixmod.dll couldn't be detected

• New: Supported resolutions are cached in a file for faster accessing this information
• New: When updating all installed 3dmigoto wrappers the dialog window tells you how many games have been updated.
• Changed: By default IR output mode isn't changed any more when applying settings in "Nvidia 3D Settings" tab or when skipping 3D Vision setup wizard. For changing IR mode you have to manually tick the option "Sync mode of IR Sender" in "Nvidia 3D Settings" tab first.
• Changed: Search text for filtering games doesn't need to be so precise any more. So for example it doesn't matter if you type in "Assassin's Creed" or "assassinscreed" for listing all AC games.
• Changed: Updated 3dmigoto files to version 1.3.12
• Changed: Reworked some tooltips in "Hotkeys" tab
• Bugfix: Synchronization between glasses and IR emitter could break when applying settings in "Nvidia 3D Settings" tab

When using this mode in combination with 3dmigoto's side by side shader and a VR app like Bigscreen Beta you can play DirectX 11 fixed games with your Oculus Rift / HTC Vive etc.
• New: The correct profile is edited for RTSS. Formerly only the global profile could be modified via 3D Fix Manager
• Changed: Write permission for "System" user is automatically restored after closing a game. Formerly write permission was given back after 120 seconds when starting a game. This could break 3D for "Reverse Interlacing" and "3D Vision Discover for VR" modes when minimizing to the dsektop after this timeout.
• Changed: HelixMod Launcher is always automatically closed after exiting a game
• Changed: RTSS is only restarted if changes were actually made to a RTSS profile file
