DCS and Nvidia 3D

A quick search of the net shows how to unhide reg folders.

 

Go to

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL\

 

And make sure that you have

 

CheckedValue RED_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)

 

 

Im assuming you meant

CheckedValue REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)?

 

Anyways, I tried this and the dcs folder did not show up. I tried a similar method with a search and that didnt work either. Is it possible to create the dcs folder? I couldnt figure out how. I did find a blackshark folder but it wasnt under the 3dvision folder so I assume that wasnt the correct folder especially since none the mentioned DWORDs appeared in it.

Yes, sorry, typo in the original ... just corrected.

You can indeed create the DCS folder, I think by right-clicking and choosing 'new key' or whatever that first option is.

As I understand it, the typo is that

 

StereoMemoEnabled REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (0)

 

should be

 

StereoMemoEnabled REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)

 

i.e. there is no way to type in "0x00000001" but then have a "0" end up in the parenthesis. Looks like a simple typo.

 

I have it as StereoMemoEnabled REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0), and it works. But maybe it's not a relevant setting (I don't know).

 

Btw thanks for the posts, I would never have figured this out otherwise!

 

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit (SP 2), Geforce GTX 470 with nVidia driver version 296.10. I don't have any 3D monitor, but I sometimes like to test games with the red-cyan anaglyph glasses.

 

My registry settings that worked is basically what is in this post, except the typo as mentioned above.

 

Like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\Stereo3D\GameConfigs\dcs]
"StereoMemoEnabled"=dword:00000000
"StereoDX9"=dword:00000001
"StereoTextureEnable"=dword:00000001
"Link1"=hex(2):4c,00,61,00,75,00,6e,00,63,00,68,00,65,00,72,00,2e,00,65,00,78,\
 00,65,00,00,00

This could be saved as a .reg file and then imported into the windows registry by double clicking it (perhaps/probably as administrator though).

 

NOTE: I do not guarantee that it will work for your computer, all I can say is that it worked for me. The usual warnings about messing about in the registry applies, you could bork your computer/OS if you don't know what you are doing!
