3DVision4All

Interlaced/Interleaved 3D

Compatible with devices like:

• LG/Sony 4k OLED/LCD 3D TVs
• LG/Acer/Zalman 3D Monitors

For real interlaced displays the EDID ID Override path below outputs native 3DVision interlaced frames directly from the Nvidia driver. If you’d rather skip the EDID setup and let the injector compose the interlaced pattern from regular stereo frames, see the Injector method at the bottom.

3DVision Installation

• If you run into issues with 3DVision stuck in Anaglyph mode or frame sequential modes, try using DDU in safe mode to completely wipe GPU drivers and redo the installation of this tool. This may wipe software EDID overrides
• Download 3D Fix Manager and extract it somewhere
  • This can be used to install game fixes and launch them in 3D
  • You can disable 3D with the toggle in the top right
• Launch 3DFixManager.exe
• Select the Drivers tab and click Install 3D Driver. The Video Driver is not necessary for DX9 3DVision, so ignore it
• 
• If prompted, choose Quick Setup
• 
• A successful installation should appear like this:
• 
• On Some drivers, you may need to use the Complete 3D Setup button, as the Nvidia 3DVision wizard will fail to run
• 
• You can also adjust the 3D hotkeys and view the defaults on this tab:
• 
• Select the 3D toggle in the top right to turn off 3D
• NOTE: A game needs a pre-existing Nvidia profile with the StereoProfile flag set appropriately for any 3D settings to save with Ctrl + F7. Reference Bo3b’s Profile Guide for how to use Nvidia Inspector to set this and tweak 3D Profile settings.
• If 3D Fix Manager doesn’t work for you, you can try Bo3b’s 3DVision Installer

Show Optional: Old Driver for DX10/DX11/DX12

Optional: Old Driver for DX10/DX11/DX12

• DX10-12 may be less compatible/stable with the EDID ShaderGlass method, but should work for native 3DVision or Interlaced displays
• RTX20xx or older is required
  • RTX20xx Super series can only go back to driver 452.06
• DX10 and DX12 need driver 425.31
• DX11 Works on any driver <= 452.06
• DX12 3DVision doesn’t really have any fixes for it and it’s not stable with many modern games
• Download either 452.06 or 425.31 somewhere
• Unplug/Disable your Internet connection
• Run DDU in safe mode to wipe the GPU driver
• Run the Nvidia installer you downloaded and be sure to deselect Geforce Experience
• Follow these instructions to block Nvidia driver updates
• If using 452.06, use 3D Fix Manager to install the 3DVision driver and Enable Driver Hack as seen here:
• 
• You should now get this result (no emitter for some displays):
• 

EDID ID Override

• Only the Device ID has to be changed to enable 3DVision, but it will be limited to the resolutions/colors of the original EDID
• This only changes the EDID ID on your current PC
• Download CRU and extract it to a folder
• Run CRU.exe as admin
• Select your device from the drop down menu and select Edit
• Set the Device ID to ACR02B9 and click OK
• 
• Click OK to close CRU
• Run restart64.exe as admin and your Nvidia driver will restart
• Exit the Restart app

Show Windows Monitor Driver EDID Override (alternative)

Windows Monitor Driver EDID Override

• This overrides the display EDID at the Windows driver level. It’s a bit more complicated, but might be preferred for real interlaced displays
• Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows - this requires a special reboot
• Download either the 4k EDID Override or 1080p EDID Override depending on your display
• Open Device Manager as admin
  • Find your device under the Monitors section and Right-Click it and select Update Driver
  • Select Browse my computer for drivers
  • Select Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
  • Select Have Disk
  • Select Browse and find the 4kNvidiaEDID.inf or 1080pNvidiaEDID.inf that you saved earlier
  • Choose the first Acer HR274H (ACR02B9 EDID Override) Version: 1.0.0.0 [11/23/2017] entry and click Next

  • Close out of the window and you should see something similar to this:

    

• Interlaced display hardware requires you to output games at the display native resolutions (4k or 1080p)

Windows & Nvidia Settings

• In Windows Display Settings, choose your device and then choose Make this my main display for 3DVision to work
• Set its resolution to your native resolution: 3840x2160 or 1920x1080
• Open Nvidia Control Panel
  • Select the Set up stereoscopic 3D tab
  • Check the Enable stereoscopic 3D box and click Apply
  • You should see the Stereoscopic 3D display type as Acer Passive 3D LCD

Running a Game

• Ensure your device is set as your primary display, 3840x2160 or 1920x1080 resolution, and 3D Vision is enabled as Acer Passive 3D LCD
• Install fixes either manually from Helixmod or using 3D Fix Manager
• If eyes need to be swapped, you have two options:
  • Download the Eye Swapper tool, extract it, browse into the 3dvision-eye-swapper-master\bin\x64\Release\ folder and run 3DVisionEyeSwapper.exe as ADMIN and keep it running in the background
  • Advanced 3DVision Config
    • Close 3D Fix Manager completely from taskbar
    • 
    • Use Advanced 3DVision Configuration (run as admin) to set Swap Interleave Pattern and Lock Registry Key and click Save Settings
    • 
    • Unfortunately 3D Fix Manager resets this lock, so you have to close it for this method
• Launch the game manually and it should start on your device in interlaced 3D
• Configure the game resolution to match your native resolution, otherwise you won’t get 3D

Additional Notes and Tools

• If a game doesn’t have a Nvidia or 3D Fix Manager profile, you can set the StereoProfile flag for any 3D settings to save with Ctrl + F7. Reference Bo3b’s Profile Guide for how to use Nvidia Profile Inspector to set this and tweak 3D Profile settings.
• Some games may lock the convergence, so you can try Chiri’s Tool or Chiri’s Other Tool to unlock it
• Advanced 3D Vision Config can also be used to modify certain 3DVision settings. Many can also be edited in 3D Fix Manager
• Frame Sequential 3DVision is unstable on latest drivers and requires setting a custom resolution and removing all other resolutions, but the Interlaced EDID overrides are still working well

Show Injector method (alternative)

The injector composes a row- or column-interlaced image from regular stereo frames, so it works at any source resolution and doesn’t require the EDID override above. Use this if the native-3DVision path isn’t working for your display or you want to render the game below the panel’s native resolution.

Nvidia Control Panel

• Open Nvidia Control Panel
• Select Set up stereoscopic 3D
• Select 3D Vision Discover as the display type (anaglyph mode — works on any display, no EDID override required)
• Set Depth to 100%
• Set Keyboard Shortcuts -> Enable advanced in-game settings
• Check Enable stereoscopic 3D and click Apply
• Close Nvidia Control Panel

Install and Verify the 3D Fix

• Install the game’s 3D fix using 3D Fix Manager or manually from HelixMod
• Launch the game and confirm the fix is working — you should see Anaglyph 3D (red/cyan) with depth
• In the game’s video settings, set the resolution to fullscreen 1920x1080 for the best font scaling and performance
  • The injector upscales each eye to your display’s native resolution, so 1080p source is fine for 4k panels, SR displays, AR glasses, etc.
• Exit the game

3DVision4All Injector Installation

• The injector is a proxy DLL dropped next to the game’s executable. It hooks DirectX 9 and NvAPI Stereo to capture each eye and composes the stereo output for your display — no separate Shader Glass window required, no display EDID override required, no extra hardware (EDID emulator, dummy plug, capture card, secondary display) required
• DirectX 9 / DX9Ex only. The injector does not work with DX10, DX11, or DX12 games. For DX10–12 titles use one of the legacy methods (Shader Glass for non-native displays, native 3DVision via the Old Driver path on RTX 20-series or older) instead
• Download the latest 3DVision4All injector zip and extract it
  • For 32-bit games (most older DX9 games), use the files in Win32-Release
  • For 64-bit games, use the files in x64-Release
• Copy ONE of the proxy DLLs (dinput8.dll, dsound.dll, version.dll, winmm.dll) from the extracted folder into the same folder as the game’s EXE
  • Pick one the game doesn’t already ship with so you don’t overwrite anything important — dinput8.dll is usually safe
• Copy 3dvision4all.ini from the extracted zip into the same folder, next to the proxy DLL
• Copy EnableWindowed3D.exe from the extracted zip into the same folder, then right-click → Run as administrator (UAC prompt). This is a one-shot setup step that’s required for 3DVision4All to work properly — the tool scans the folder and, for every *.exe it finds, creates an NVIDIA stereo profile (or attaches to an existing one) and writes two settings: StereoProfile = 1 and StereoHiddenProfile = 1. The combination does two things you need:
  • Enables 3D Vision in windowed mode for that EXE. 3DVision4All forces the game into windowed mode so it can composite its overlay on top, but the 3D Vision driver only flips stereo “active” for windowed swap chains when these profile flags are set. Without them, the per-frame ReverseStereoBlit silently no-ops and both halves of the captured frame carry the same mono image (no parallax — flat 2D on your stereo display)
  • Lets you save Depth and Convergence via Ctrl+F7 in-game. StereoProfile is what marks the profile as a real stereo profile to the driver; with it missing, the in-game save shortcut silently restores the default convergence instead of saving your tuning
  • Run the tool once per game folder. You can leave or delete EnableWindowed3D.exe afterwards — only the proxy DLL + INI need to stay alongside the game

Injector Options Reference

3dvision4all.ini sits next to the proxy DLL. Every option also has an inline comment in the file itself. Per-guide mode selection is in the next section.

[stereo]

• mode — stereo output format. Pick the value matching the guide you’re following:
  • sbs — Side-by-Side (3D TVs in “Side by Side (Half)”, AR glasses on 32:9 panels)
  • tab — Top-and-Bottom (3D TVs in TaB input mode)
  • row_interlaced — even rows = left eye, odd rows = right (most passive 3D displays)
  • column_interlaced — column variant (rare passive setups)
  • checkerboard — DLP 3D-Ready TVs (Mitsubishi / Samsung DLP)
  • leiasr — LeiaSR / Simulated Reality autostereoscopic displays
  • katanga — publish the stereo image over Katanga IPC for a VR viewer (Katanga.exe, VRScreenCap)
• swap_eyes — flip left/right. Set to 1 if 3D looks reversed

[render]

• defeat_directflip (default 1) — keeps the overlay visible over fullscreen-borderless games. Leave on unless you’re isolating a crash
• force_windowed (default 1) — forces the game into windowed mode so the overlay can sit on top. Set to 0 only for games whose startup breaks when forced windowed
• disable_vsync (default 0) — frees the game’s frame loop from refresh-rate; the overlay still presents at refresh rate so the on-screen output stays smooth
• confine_cursor (default 0) — locks the OS cursor inside the game window while focused; released on alt-tab
• hide_cursor (default 0) — hides the OS cursor while it’s over the game window
• alternate_capture_mode (default 0) — how frames are handed off to the overlay:
  • 0 CPU copy — widest compatibility, slower (one extra GPU→CPU→GPU round-trip per frame, mostly noticeable above 1080p)
  • 1 GPU-shared — faster and supports higher resolutions with no readback cost, but some games crash or glitch under it. Try 0 first; switch only if the game is stable
• render_width / render_height (default 0,0) — force the game to render at this resolution. Leave at 0 to let the game decide. Useful for “Full SbS” (per-eye width × full height) or as a performance lever
  • WARNING: some games clip into the top-left corner if you force a smaller resolution than they cached at startup. If you see clipping, set both back to 0
• copy_width / copy_height (default 1920,1080, CPU-copy path only) — downsample each eye’s readback to these dimensions. Cuts the 4K capture stall from ~16 ms/frame to almost nothing. The overlay resamples anyway, so as long as the per-eye dimensions are at least your panel half-width × panel height, the cap is essentially lossless. Leave at 0,0 for no cap

[debug]

• log_file — log path (relative to the game’s EXE if not absolute). Cleared each run
• log_level — 0 off, 1 info (default), 2 verbose
• install_device_hooks, install_d3d9_vtable_hooks, install_d3d9_display_mode_hooks — all default 1. Diagnostic bisect switches for crashes; leave alone unless you’re tracking down a regression

Configuration

• In 3dvision4all.ini, set mode = row_interlaced (most passive 3D displays — LG OLED, LG/Sony 4k TVs) or mode = column_interlaced (rare passive setups)
• If the 3D image looks doubled or eye-swapped, try swap_eyes = 1 first, and only switch row/column if that doesn’t help
• Make sure your interlaced display is set as the primary display in Windows so the injector overlay shows on it
• The injector outputs at the display’s native resolution regardless of the game’s render resolution

Running a Game

• Launch the game manually or from 3D Fix Manager
• The injector takes over rendering and presents your configured stereo output mode in its own overlay — you no longer need to look at Anaglyph 3D
• HelixMod in-game hotkeys still work for tuning depth/convergence:
  • Ctrl + F3/F4 adjust depth
  • Ctrl + F5/F6 adjust convergence
  • Ctrl + F7 saves depth & convergence settings (sometimes 3D will glitch after this and you have to restart the game)
• A log of injector activity is written to 3dvision4all.log next to the game’s EXE for troubleshooting
