Assassins Creed 3 (DirectX 11) - 3D Vision Fix

3DMigoto DX11 3D Vision Fix by mike_ar69 and bo3b


Acknowledgements
We are delighted to publish this game fix on the helixmod site, thank you to Helix and Eqzitara for supporting our work on the 3DMigoto DX11 Wrapper!

Fixed
1. Shadows
2. Lights
3. Double Imaging (fog and smoke)
4. Skybox elements
5. HUD

Disabled
1. Decals (blood + a few other things)

Known Issues
1. Triangles in the animus look wrong
2. There is an AO issue on ship sails, and some wall surfaces, if the angle of view is very narrow
3. There might still be the odd minor shadow issue in cutscenes
4. The Moon renders wrong in an early cut scene on the ship
5. The moon renders at a slightly deeper depth than stars in gameplay scenes
6. Some decals have been disabled (for now) - blood splatters on the ground, explosion marks etc. If you turn off 3D they come back again
7. This game has an Nvidia Depth Buffer profile, accessible by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F11. However, it is not completely decoupled from the 3DMigoto fix, and when toggling the depth buffer on, the shadows will be rendered incorrectly (not at 2D though, just in the wrong place). Just bear that in mind - to get the 'best' from the depth buffer approach, you need to disable/remove the 3DMigoto fix. You disable it easily using the uninstall.bat.
8. The fix does not seem to work properly if you try and use the registry depth hack - shadows render at the wrong depth.
9. For Windows 8.1 64 Bit Update 1 you need to delete the dxgi.dll file that gets installed with the fix.

Installation

1) Make sure you have a platform patch installed.

This is an optional graphics patch from Microsoft. You need this update to avoid having 3Dmigoto crash.
You can look in your View Installed Updates, and search for KB2670838.
If you don't have it, you can get it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36805


2) Run the game once to make sure it's installed, resolution and refresh are like you want.

Make sure 3D kicks in.
In game settings, you'll want Environmental Quality set to Normal. Frame rates jump from 18 to 30 in Boston, with this one setting. All other settings can be at max.


3) If you are running recent drivers, and Compatibility Mode is kicking in, do Ctrl-Alt-F11 to disable it.

It doesn't hurt to have it enabled, but it competes with the fix, and adds haloing around close objects.
We've tested it on older drivers like 320.49 and the most recent Beta, and think it should work in all cases.
We've tested it with SLI and single GPU.


4) Get the fix as a zip file from here: AC3-1.2.54.zip

And unzip all of the files and ShaderFixes folder into the Assassin's Creed 3 exe folder.
e.g. "T:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Assassin's Creed 3\"
It's a lot of files, 500 shader files, and 16 dlls, an uninstall, and the .ini file. It's still a work in progress.
If you need to uninstall, there is an uninstall.bat that will delete the dlls.


5) With all that installed, run AC3.

You should be able to see everything in 3D, and be able to change depth and convergence.
Performance should be good, very close to what you normally get with AC3 in 3D. You should see all of your CPU cores active.
First launch will be slow, like a minute, as it caches shaders.


1-20-17 Update: The fix itself is unchanged, but this changes the older dlls to the latest version of 1.2.54, which includes SBS and TAB support, as well as key overrides. The specific drivers, platform update, or deleting dxgi.dll are no longer required.

Latest version: AC3-1.2.54.zip
Old version: 3Dmigoto-AC3-0.6_Beta.zip


Alternate update made by Zythus: AC3_3Dmigoto_1.2.54.zip
- Adding x constants to the HUD Shaders. It now works like the other fixes. HUD depth and HUD off --> l and k keys.
- 4 convergence Keys with different HUD depth
-Numpad 6 for present
-Numpad 7 for cutscenes
-Numpad 8 for playing
-Numpad 9 for high convergence
- l key for cycle HUD depth
- k key for toggle HUD on/off

  1. Hello,
    Congratulations for your work (what patience you have!).
    This fix works for assassin's creed black flag D11? (because convergence is blocked too)
    thank you

    ReplyDelete
  2. forgiveness,
    I have yet to try ACBlack Flag and convergence is blocked, and it is unlocked by using "Ctrl Alt F11" but bug shadows and other ...
    I'll take AC 3 then.
    thank you

  3. This fix is for AC3 only. We will be posting a separate fix for AC4 in the next few days :-)

  4. Is there anyway to get 3DMigoto to work without having to install KB2670838? This update requires Service Pack 1 to be installed. Unfortunately if I install SP1 I can no longer Mirror my drives using software RAID. My mirrored drives disappear completely and i can't access my data unless i uninstall SP1. I'd love to use 3DMigoto but I mainly use my pc for work so i can't use SP1. Please don't ask me to use hardware RAID as a workaround.

    1. Hi - bo3b is the person to answer this, but I am pretty sure the answer is "no". We try and avoid dependencies where possible, but this one seems to be necessary. One suggestion, if you care enough to put the effort in, is to dual boot a second installation of Windows (7 not 8). Mixing a work machine with hardcore gaming needs is always going to clash somewhere, and work needs will always take priority I guess.

      Delete
    2. Thanks Mike, that's actually a pretty good idea, I already have my drives split between work and play so a second OS install isn't much of a stretch.

      Delete
    3. Hi Stephen- yes, it's a bit of a problem, and the KB is required because we are using the Win8 toolset to build the software. If I don't use that toolset, then we have problems on Win8 instead. It's possible that I could get something working, but that would be at the expense of future game fixes, and I lean toward supporting more modern stuff because that seems to be where the community heads. I've been surprised by how many people jumped into the shark infested 8.1 pool for example.

      If you are super motivated- the code is open-source, and you could make a branch that works the way you'd like.

      For the Raid, are you sure that cannot use SP1? I run RAID always on my current machine with SP1, through the intel driver and the BIOS. That's a software RAID, but may not be what you are talking about.

      Simplest approach is probably Mike's suggestion of dual booting. That keeps it all nice and straight.

      Delete
    4. BTW, since this question I think we determined that the dxgi.dll is not necessary for running the game, and I think that is the dll that causes the incompatibility crash without the KB patch. It would be worth trying to see if deleting the dxgi.dll allows you to play without the KB patch.

  5. First off, thsnk you to all of the HelixMod Modders, you guys are the very best, and have made my gaming experiences so much better than they ever were before. This is the first place I look when I install a new game.

    As for this game, I have been waiting a very long time for this fix, but I have an issue now. There is a severe doubling of the images on the screen. I have tried to adjust the convergence ctrl-f5 and ctrl-f6, no joy. I have also tried to hit the ctrl-alt-f11, and it does not appear to make any changes or adjustments at all. Any other suggestions? I have a 780M in an Alienware 17, if it helps. Thank you all again!!

    1. What driver are you running? We haven't heard of this problem before.

      Delete
    2. Don't take this the wrong way but when I hear double images + laptop I generally think ghosting/cross-talk.
      Just to cover basis do you know what ghosting is? Its when left/right image can be seen in a single lense [like it will partially bleed into]
      http://3dvision-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/torchlight-stereo-3d-ghosting.jpg

      If so you need to tweak your displays contrast/brightness unfortunately for any sort of results. Convergence altering can help.
      ----------------------------------------
      Go into
      nvidia control panel->set up stereoscopic 3d-> set keyboard shortcuts -> advanced

      Try changing convergence key to some thing easier like = and -
      Sometimes it can take like 20 seconds of continously holding down for results.

      Delete
    3. Also just to be safe, and ignore the alt-f11 instructions install driver 333.21 or earlier.

      Delete
    4. I did try that, even changed the keys for convergence, but still no joy. Most of my games work beautifully on this system, this one never has, and still doesn't. It seems to work a bit better than without the patch, as was really bad before, but this ghosting will not go away. I see some of the side images, like the candles, moving from side to side when changing convergence, but nothing on the main part of the screen, especially the second images, this comes after holding the buttons for a very long time. Usually I see the entire image split off the screen when doing that. I have had some serious issues trying to run Spec Ops the line as well, lately, with the mod installed. Could it be these drivers?

      Delete
    5. Will try an older driver, and report back. Thanks!!

      Delete
    6. Sounds likely.
      Its been known to happen when installing drivers that 3d vision doesn't install correctly in someway [I really have no idea but it only effects certain games and no others, its really random.]

      Download 333.21 just cause its convenient. Click the box that says do clean install.

      Delete
    7. Running 332.21, working great now. Been using GeForce experience to install my drivers, should I not do that, or is there simply an issue with the 335 drivers? I have not tried spec ops, yet, but hope this clears that up as well.

      Delete
    8. Yep, Spec Ops working great now too.

      Delete
    9. Nah, it seriously just happens. Im probably like one of only people who know of it since I ran into with so many users.
      Like its a random chance[like a fraction of a fraction] that installing driver will cause a fraction of 3d vision game profiles to mess up.

      I think it only happened to me once but I know of it cause Ive heard of it like 20 times from others.
      Its not really a concern, its pretty rare.

      Delete
    10. Well, it def worked, and will not be forgotten any time in the near future, should I see this again. Thank you again, for all your hard work!!! You guys seriously are the very best !!!

  6. I get a black screen then an error AC3 has stopped working. If i removed the files the game works fine.

  9. Hi, thanks for the great work, just so much better than Nvidia's fake 3D mode.

    With the fix all works well except I get small rocks and leaves disappearing and reappearing on the ground as I move around. Is this a known issue?

    Thanks

    1. Haven't seen that issue myself. Is there an easy spot to see this happening, where I can double check?

  10. I got the effect in the frontier, haven't tested in the cities. Most noticeable when there's not dense shrubbery all over the place as they appeared to be flat textures (I'm not sure what the technical term is). It was particularly prevalent for me at the river with a few stair-cased waterfalls just East of the Mohawk settlement. Could also try the banks of the lake in the Mohawk settlement too.

    Thanks for the quick response!

    1. OK, thanks for the report. I've not made it past Boston, so I won't get a chance to test this out for a bit. If you get a chance to see if you can see this in Boston, that will be a quicker way for me to see.

      You are the first to report this, so it's more likely to be something specific about your machine. (Always possible other players didn't notice)

      Also, try going to the ShaderCache and ShaderFixes folder and delete all the .bin files. That will force it regenerate shaders, as there might be a problem with the saved copy. If that still seems to be a problem, go to the d3dx.ini file, and set logging on with calls=1, then rerun the game. If you send me the log file I can check to see if it's getting errors. <3dmigoto@bo3b.net>

  11. Hi,

    epic job you guys.

    But I am getting strange glow around desmond while playing. It is semi transparent, only few pixels thick and is few pixels from him, like halo of some sorts.

    Do you have any advice how to get rid off it?

    It is quite imposible to send screen shots.

    Thanx for any info.

  12. Thank you, mike_ar69 and bo3b ! I've just had one of by best 3D Vision experience so far with this fix, playing in Boston. AC3 is a way better looking game i thought it was two years ago, when i've first played it (a gfx switch from "560 ti" to "gtx 770" helped, too). Great work!

  13. The Windows 7 update won't run the links say Windows 6.1 and won't run. The game won't run crashes and AC4 even Shadows aren't fixed on gournd or in anamaous areau there's halos everywhere.

    1. I'm sorry, but I can't make sense of your post. Can you rephrase that? Please spell out your question in more detail. The better the question, the better we can answer.

      Delete
    2. I have Windows 7 SP1 and when I try that Windows Update required to prevent your Mobo mod from crashing Windows says not applicable. So this mod won't work keeps crashing. And AC4 mod shadows aren't fixed right like inside the Anamus building the 3D is all messed up. But can I get help getting AC3 working first. What's weird is this update for Windows 7 your link sends me to has check boxes and those Files are for Windows 6.1 not Win7. If I need that update for this mod to work how can I update Windows 7 SP1 to stop this game from crashing?

      Delete
    3. Hmmm... Weird. When I go to the link above, it takes me to a normal Win7 page, with Download as the big button. Don't know what you are seeing with regard to checkboxes or wrong OS.

      This fix really old now, the very first one we made with 3Dmigoto. Let me take a look and make sure it is still working, and I'll update the fix with our latest code which makes it possible to ignore that KB patch. This update should improve the performance too.

      Delete
    4. Update: This isn't our game fix that causes the crash. AC3 crashes at launch with no game fix installed, and running in 2D. Thanks Uplay.

      Delete
  14. When I hit the link ya got here: it takes me to the Platform Update for Windows 7 page and a red download button is there. But clicking the Red download button opens up a choose your files page/box with 3 check box options. #1 File Name #2 Windows6.1-KB2670838-x64.msu and #3

    Windows6.1-KB2670838-x86.msu All 3 options are for Windows 6.1 not Windows 7 I don't understand. IF I need these updates to run this game in 3D how can I update then?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Ah, I finally understand. The 6.1 is not a problem, that's the actual OS Version under the sheets. Win7 is NT6.1. You'd want whichever of the two was right for your OS, x64 or x32 version.

      Can you run AC3 without the fix installed nor this KB patch? Just normally. Best to start with that. I can't run AC3 at all right at the moment, crashes because of UPlay.

      Delete
    2. Yea it did run fine before. Now it won't it crashes at a black screen with these files added. I figured it cuz I need that mobo update but that's no good if that windows 7 update won't run. That installer keeps saying those two files wont run on this computer. I don't understand.

      Delete
    3. OK good, I can't get it to run at all, no fixes. Since it works for you with no fix, do this instead:
      1) Rename the d3dx.ini file temporarily.
      2) Run uninstall.bat in folder to remove the old fix, leaving ShaderFixes and renamed d3dx.ini file.
      3) Rename d3dx.ini back to proper name.
      4) Download the latest version of our tool here: 0.99.50:
      5) Uninstall that tool (x32) to your game folder where ShaderFixes is.
      6) Say 'no' to replacing the d3dx.ini file.

      That should give you an up to date version of the 3Dmigoto tool, with the ShaderFixes from the original fix. The reason this is important is because this newer version of the tool does not require that KB update. Please give this a try and let me know if you can get it to work.

  15. Well good news and bad news. The good news is the game will start now but wth 2 issues. #1 Screen goes Black if I start a new story all I hear is sound. But if I load a game it's in 3D and the screen is back but 3D mode there's haze like ghosting around all the characters. LIke AC4 has with it's Nvidia settings.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. OK, good. Don't know about the black start, I'm having that problem too, but never get past it.

      For the haze/ghost, we call that haloing, and it's because you are in Compatibility Mode instead of in true-3D. You need to enable the Advanced Options in the NVidia stereo control panel, and once that is enabled you can hit Ctrl-Alt-F11 while in game to make it switch modes. CM is the fake-3D.

      Delete
    2. Bogus. Clrt Alt F11 makes it worse the Shadows are all messed up and ghosting is worse. Also can't change convergence at all.

      Delete
    3. Yes, you either use CM or our fix, but not both at once. They will conflict with each other. What does the overlay say? Green text, lower right should tell you which mode you are in.

      Delete
    4. There is no green text in lowere corner.

      Delete
    5. Ctrl-Alt-Ins key turns the green text on and off. If you can make and share a screenshot, that really helps to be able to understand what is going on. Alt-F1 takes screenshots in 3d, stored in the folder in your Documents as "...\Documents\NVStereoscopic3D.IMG\".

      Start with the basics, does 3D work in other games on your system? Is it only this one? Make sure this game runs correctly before doing any mods to it. It has a built in fake-3D/CM profile on latest drivers. It sounds like you got that working based on your description. If that was working, then Ctrl-Alt-F11 switches it to normal true-3D. It will look broken. Shadows wrong, lights wrong. In that mode, you then drop in our fix to the game folder, and it fixes that state to make 3D look good.

      I've asked on the forums, and the fix is still working for other people. I still cannot run AC3 because it crashes on me. No solution yet.

      Delete
    6. Yea buddy. I get that green text Nvidia text. Tomb Raider 2013 and older look awesome in 3D so does GTA 4 and Deadspace with the mods. But AC3 and AC4 the mods don't fix like they should for some reason. Halo/Haze on AC3 and Shadows on AC4 are messed up still with the mod. AC3 I can't even change convergeance.

    1. For crashes on Win10, try using the latest version of 3Dmigoto from: Currently v1.2.31

      There are a lot of Win8+Win10 fixes in more recent builds. Replace just the dlls, leave ShaderFixes and d3dx.ini.

  19. thx for answer bo3b. As you mentioned, i put the DLLs of 3D Migoto 1.2.31.zip instead of DLLs from 3Dmigoto-AC3-0.6_Beta.zip.

    1. I think something is damaged on your system. That missing API call is pretty unusual.

    3. Nonsense. Your spec says you have 17T of drive space. Put Win7 on one of those drives and boot from it, and test it. You are reporting errors in like five threads. You need to do some legwork to try to narrow it down. Win10 might be OK for 3D, but I know for a fact that Win7 is OK. Best to start with known good.

      Googling this error suggests you might be running SweetFX. If so, don't.

  21. Hello I can't this work on windows 10. It was working fine on windows 7, but since I upgraded it crashes on start up. Is it possible to get a zip for windows 10 ready to go.

    1. I had a crash in this game before, that I finally narrowed down to SpeedStep in the BIOS. Try disabling that in the BIOS.

      If that doesn't work, your best bet is to do a dual boot of Win7. No one is going to take the time to come back to this and figure out problems that Win10 introduced.

    2. hello bo3b.

      As you know, ASSASSIN CREED III is the free game of the month on UPLAY

      a lot of people has just got it and they can't use this broken fix because now most of people is on Windows 10.

      it will be usefull to take a look on this game again. :(

      i couldn't play it since my request on the beginning of 2016. (no space for windows 7, it's boring to install an OS only for one game)

      Delete
    3. Well, obviously it's not a single game. You've reported problems in at least 5 threads I know of. I have no idea why you insist on making all these problems for yourself by refusing to run Win7. Dual booting is simple.

      It'd be really helpful if people would stop making new work for the ShaderHackers.

      If you care more about the OS than the 3D fixes, you need to learn how to update them yourself. I'm not keen on spending my limited time to fix artificial problems, when it works just fine on Win7.

      Look at it this way. You could spend your time to set up a dual boot, or I can spend my time updating it for Win10. And on and on, after every force-fed Win10 update. x300 games.

      If you care about being part of the community, you need to put in some effort, and stop asking for us to spend time on your problems.

    1. This was the first DX11 fix that we made. Pretty cool that it still works 3 years later, even if 3Dmigoto has improved past that by a long ways. Because it's so old, it doesn't have support for in-game keys.

      However, taking a quick look, you can edit a couple of the shader files to move the HUD.
      Look for both 0d2d3004e6046eae-vs_replace.txt, 95b679385739a364-vs_replace.txt

      And edit the files to change the 0.8 depth setting to whatever you like. If you want screen depth set it to 0.0 instead.

      Might be other files related, not sure. But that's a start.

      Delete
  24. I tried to change the values in the two files but it seems to have no impact on the location of the HUD.
    HUD is always located inside the screen which is unconfortable for eyes each time a character or an object in the game is displayed in front of HUD.

    1. Make sure you can launch the game without the fix installed. 3D should also enable when in full-screen mode, but have broken effects like shadows. This is required pre-requisite before adding the fix.

      I had a problem with the game awhile back that took me 2 months to debug where it would crash on launch, no fix. The support people were useless of course. The problem wound up being that the game has a race condition at launch, and setting my CPU turbo to Off in the BIOS would allow it launch. Might be related to your problem.

  26. Thanks very much!!


    Windows 10 64-bit Home here - ASUS Strix GTX 970.


    I got the game free from the Uplay 30th anniversary.

    At first it kept crashing on start with your 3D fix...BUT I took your advice to "delete the dxgi.dll file"


    - and now the game works PERFECT in (non-CM) 3D mode!! And no need for that "KB" file!

  27. Windows 10 64 bit here

    Just wanted Thank you I was able to get rid of crashing by removing the dxgi.dll file. However, now that I am able to play the game looks weird. Kind looks like if you were looking at a screen in safe mode, where colors are missing specially when looking at a white background when you are at the animus loading screen.Maybe it is a problem with the Drivers?

    Also I have green letters on my screen at the top and at the bottom showing the depth and separation values. Any way to make those go away?

    1. Post a screenshot of what you are seeing to 3dvisionlive.com so I can see. It's working OK for me on Win7.

      The green text is for shader hunting, and you disable it by setting hunting=0 in the d3dx.ini file.

    2. Updated the fix to the latest version of dlls, 1.2.54. And set it up for play mode, no green text. Should work on Win10. Checked how it looks on Win7 using UPlay version, and it looks good and is working, at least right at the very start.

    1. Sorry about that, editor broke the http link. I fixed it now, and tested that it downloads.

  29. No need to be sorry my friend. I was able to download the files, and the game run greats now in Windows 10.

    I really appreciate your support. Thank you for being part of this community and caring about it.

    with the coming of Windows 10 along came a lot of issues with older games, new drivers, and 3d fixes. Unfortunately, it is becoming the dominant force in OS, and it is only a matter of time when everyone would be on board.

    Thank you again for going out of your way and taking time out of your busy life to helping others.

    Please let me know if you have paypal. I'd love to contribute to you as a token of appreciation for your time.

    2. finally, the game works on WINDOWS 10 , yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah :D

      thank you bo3b !

      now, i've a new problem (LOL) , the game works only on one monitor for me, even with the fixed .exe here
      (For Uplay version - UPLAY_AssassinsCreed_3_BlackBars_FIX.7z)

      http://www.wsgf.org/dr/assassins-creed-iii/en

      i didn't find a way to choose our resolution in the options, do you know where it is ?

      Delete
    3. @Sebastian: awesome, thanks for that.

      @xerox: Thanks for letting us know that it works on Win10 now, good to know. This was our very first DX11 fix, so that's really cool that it is still working. For the black bars, I don't have any idea. Maybe post in the main AC3 thread for other people to see. Maybe PC Gaming Wiki helps.

    4. i found : we must change the resolution in C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Assassin's Creed III\Assassin3.ini

      i put
      DisplayWidth=7680
      DisplayHeight=1440

  30. Just noting the game still runs in 3D even today. Win10 1803, Driver 419.67. Even runs in HelixVision which is a treat.

    However, also noting the game is stupid as hell and requires installation on the C: drive. Will not run off other drives. Typical Ubisoft quality.

    1. Only way to know is to try it. Unlikely to work because the shaders typically change during remasters.

      This remaster looks to be centered around 4K, and doesn't seem too important.

    3. I just bought AC Odyssey "Gold" on Epic's sale - so will find out soon, as it came with AC 3 re-mastered.

      If it doesn't play in 3D, I'll be rather torn on whether I should keep to the original AC 3 with this amazing 3D Fix (thank you!)

      - or playing 2D on the re-mastered version (which like most re-masters these days apparently has some things that look worse than the original...)

    4. Well have you tried it yet? does the remastered version work?

    5. Haven't tried it yet. AC 3 is possibly my least favourite AC game. Thanks for reminder though may try in a few days
