Injector 3D Vision Automatic Aware

3D Vision Automatic-aware games

These are games that used NVIDIA 3D Vision "Automatic Mode" driver stereo injection, but which communicate with 3D Vision via in-game settings, built-in shader fixes, or config options. For our release, they use wiz3D's Stereo-Injector, not the native-stereo 3D Vision Direct path — because the game's renderer is otherwise mono; the 3D Vision driver was the thing generating stereo, and we do the same shape of injection.

0.4.0 wired the NVAPI stereo bridge on DX9 and DX11, so in-game sliders (separation / convergence / 3D depth) now move wiz3D's own stereo state. Any shader fixes the game shipped for 3D Vision usually still apply unchanged.

What this means in practice

For many of these titles you need to flip a specific flag to tell the game to render in 3D-Vision-aware mode, so the shader fixes and NVAPI calls kick in. Common patterns:

• -stereo / -stereo 1 command-line argument (GTA IV, Max Payne 3).
• Stereo=ON in a config.ini (Dead Space 2/3, Devil May Cry 4, Dragon's Dogma, Lost Planet 2, RE5, RE6).
• In-game menu toggle labelled "Nvidia Stereoscopic 3D" / "Stereoscopic 3D" / "3D Vision Fog" (Batman: Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Orbiter).
• Engine config flag like AllowNvidiaStereo3d=True in AliceEngine.ini (Alice: Madness Returns).

See each row's Notes column for the specific flag.

Install path

Depends on the game's API — see each row. Most 3D-Vision-Automatic-era titles are DX9, some are DX10/11.
