Cannot get Stereo 3D to work in IL2: Sturmovik 1946

Fatalblade — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 03:22:23 GMT

While I have tried quite a few games, my efforts have been mainly focused on IL2 Sturmovik: 1946. The head tracking works great, and the picture quality is adequate. However, I have thus far been unsuccessful in achieving stereoscopic 3D. I'll list a rundown of the steps that I have taken and all the info that I can supply about my problem.

Vuzix software and firmware is fully updated.

IL2 was instantly detected and enabled by the iwear monitor. I manually copied the "d3d8.dll" and "VR920Dx8Stereo.cfg" files into "C://Program Files(x86)/Steam/Steamapps/common/il 2 sturmovik 1946" as per the instructions. It goes without saying that I am running the program through Steam.

IL2 starts and runs as normally, and once in-game I press Ctrl+F7 and head tracking becomes active. Then, when I press Ctrl+F8 to enable stereo 3D, nothing happens. The game continues to run with no change at all.

At this point I have run out of ideas as to what to try, and I would greatly appreciate any help whatsoever.

Here's my computer specs:
Windows Vista 64-bit
Nvidia Geforce 8800GT
Intel Core2Duo 2.18Ghz
4GB DDR2 RAM

It should be noted that the vuzix 3D visualizer program DOES work. That is the only program that I have been able to achieve stereo 3D in.

3d missing or right display black

Partechie — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:37:20 GMT

Seems all of a sudden most games the 3d effect is gone, the games play great, but in 2D mode.

I have to uninstall the Vuzix drivers and reinstall then it works but 'drops' out when I go to play the game later.

Also I usually use the Iz3D drivers (always worked great in the past) but in Bioshock the right screen is black in 3d mode and with no drivers it plays in 2D fine...(And no 3D effect in WoW or others using Vuzix drivers)

I also can not get Stereoscopic player to work correctly now, I choose software pageflipping and the files I use are Field Sequential movies (which I know worked in the past, have used them).

I have the latest firmware, already checked that version.

(I use the VR920 as the only display during these tests)

If you need more info let me know..

Audio sounds really bad

joker18 — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 16:40:27 GMT

I recentlly bought vr920 and everything works ok except for the built in sound. It sounds awful.
The sound gets really bad when 3d is on you can hear a lot of backgroud noise and distorted game sound.
I tried win vista 64/32 and win xp 32, the sound was the same. Is it a problem with my headset or is it just the way it sounds.

It would be useful to make them work because it is hard to wear hadphones and the vr920 the same time
Thank you

VR920 not working on laptop?

Lifespan — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 20:07:29 GMT

I am having a couple of problems with a new VR920 with my laptop. Sorry if these questions have already been asked, but I couldn't find a FAQ of any sort:

#1: Audio crackling. I am hearing massive crackling in the audio at all times. Obviously it works fine through the laptop's own audio, but for some reason it is loud and unusable through the VR920's phones. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

#2: The display is only seen a clone of the primary display. When I plug in the glasses, Vista sees that I have an external display connected. However, when I have Vista identify the displays, both the monitor and the glasses are shown as "1" (rather than the glasses showing as "2"). This means that the only option I have is to clone the display and keep the laptop's display on at all time (and flickering horribly due to the stereoscopic signal). Is there a way to seperate the displays or perhaps disable the laptop's display?

My setup:
HP tx2500z
Vista Ultimate
2.4Ghz Turion X2
3GB ram
Radeon 3200HD

What firmware version?

My Vuzix will NOT PLAY Songs!

devidicus — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 04:06:12 GMT

So I bought my Vuzix today, and I plugged it into my iPod and the VIDEO WORKS JUST FINE, but unfortunately when I try and play just songs, the audio doesn't come through.

It makes absolutely no sense. And when I turn the Display screen off, a very very very very very faint version of the song can be heard playing but it cannot be made louder.

What is going on here? Am I doomed to only be able to use this for video???

Software 2.4 broke my VR920?!

SailorSat — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 13:31:31 GMT

Well yeah, I just installed software V2.4 (from 2.3) and now my VR920 doesn't work anymore.

It worked fine with the older software and I actually just upgraded for the new World of Warcraft driver.

Also uninstalling 2.4 and reinstalling 2.3 doesn't help anything.

All I get is just a Blue Screen from the VR920, and the iWearMonitor itself says... Well I'll attach two images...

(I currently have my VGA monitor attached instead of the VR920)

*EDIT*

As the iWearMonitor suggests I need a firmware update (which I doubt), I tried to launch the current firmware update software.

Actually... It doesn't even start if I have my VR920 pluged in. It just deadlocks.

Problem with axis

Kyoku57 — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 15:54:30 GMT

Hi,

Thanks to Vuzix to smoother axis, it's clearly better :) ....but I have this problem. Axis on Calibrator and Monitor is not at the same values...and so on, GlovePIE didn't read the good one...so with Lock On, I have problem because I can only use track ir with GlovePie, which like your Iwear Monitor have difficulties to read the good news values from the calibrator.

A picture in order to explain :
[url=http://imagik.fr/view/184440][img]http://imagik.fr/thumb/184440.jpeg[/img][/url]

[url=http://imagik.fr/view-rl/184440]http://imagik.fr/view-rl/184440[/url]

As you will see, after calibration, Iwear monitor don't use the new values...and so on GlovePIE don't too.

If you have a solution, it will be great ;)

Thanks

Screen Distortion

Steffan — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 07:07:31 GMT

Hey there,

Since recently, my VR920's screens have been getting distorted each time I use them.
After only 15 minutes or so, horizontal lines start appearing. (They 'move', they don't just stay still)

This is really bothersome, because it's a real immersion-killer.
After having the VR920 plugged in for an hour, the screen quality got really bad and I just can't play with it anymore because of this.

I tried checking my VGA cable, but it seemed fine, so I have no idea what the problem could be. (A friend of mine said something's probably interfering with the signal, but I wouldn't know what could be)

Thanks in advance ;D

How to force native resolution on a Vista laptop

GuaW — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 09:07:08 GMT

Hi,

Here is my problem using the VR920.

I use it on a laptop running Vista and each time i plug the VR920 the resolution switch to 1024 and i can't use a bigger one.
But I only use the VR920 for gaming, on internet or with application that needs reading : the laptop screen is better (and bigger) and on that screen a 1024 resolution look really bad.
That mean i need to unplug the VR920 each time i left a game.

So here is my question : the games are able to switch the resolution by themselves so is there a way for me to force the desktop resolution to a bigger value than the VR920 native limits ? I mean it's not important if the VR920 dont display my desktop cause the resolution is too big, i wont use it and the resolution will switch on games.
It's not fun if i need to unplug the headset each time (or if i need to disable external monitor : it works too).

Thanks

PS : i have the same problem on a vista desktop computer. I use a spliting cable to plug my monitor and the VR920 on the same VGA connector (the only one on my graphic card) and so Vista lock the resolution to the VR920 maximum and my screen look bad. (Here again i dont need the VR920 display the desktop)

problem with World of Warcraft

lolo2k — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 16:19:44 GMT

Hi, i keep having the same bug.

I reinstalled the game from scratch and still have the "cant find the d3dx9_32.dll" error message.

So i renamed the d3d9.dll into d3dx9_32.dll and now i get a start up, but no tracking and maybe not even stereoscopic (although it does look pretty awsome so i think its on).

Is this a familiar error messages, please let me know.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

Stereoscopic PLayer and VR920

Hello,

I have Journey to the center of the earth 3d. As far as I can tell, it is a red-something anyalgyph, looks like side by side, left first. One my laptop screen, I can see both left and right images. my nvidia is in clone mode. Problem is that on the VR920, it is just cloning the laptop screen, so I see both left and right images. How do I get the 920 to show the left image on the left lens and the right image on the right lens? I have DirectX 10, nVidia stereo driver 92, and Forceware installed. I have read about turning on 3d in the stereo driver control panel, but do not see this option anywhere in the nvidia control panel. Any help, please?! Thank you!

Repairs for a VR920

ruenn — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:51:22 GMT

I don't know if I did it or not but i tried bending the nose pads so they didn't touch my nose and now i get colour issues when using the VR920. If i give it a tight squeeze the colour will return to normal.

My question is... Have I voided the warranty by bending these pads (maybe carelessly too far). If so, can I get some information regarding what i can do to get it fixed? I bought it new off ebay so does that still cover the warranty?

If it is not under warranty, is there any place I can send it to to get it repaired?

Are my vr920 glasses broken?

tcla75 — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:23:26 GMT

Well heres my problem. When I have just the USB cable plugged in and I move the headset around watching it on the LCD screen the tracking seems to be perfect but when I plug in the VGA cable for the glasses the same is not the case. Looking left seems to be fine but when I look right I'll either get very bad jitter when I turn 90 right or at times it won't move beyond 45 right and will then suddenly jump to a rear view when you turn more than 90 degrees. When your at 90 if you look down it swings to the front view. I've just noticed this is happening with all the games. Including the snake game you get with the update and just to reiterate when I unplug the vga cable and look at the tracking on screen its fine and calibration is perfect too. Does anyone know why the vga cable would interfere with the tracking? Has anyone come across this issue before or are my glasses broken. Really don't want to have to pay for the shipping all the way back to the US especially since it's not my fault the tracking isn't working. Here is a video I made showing the problems i'm having with tracking.

Problems with FSX

tcla75 — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 16:18:43 GMT

Ok can't get 3D to work but not bothered too much about that because I bought the headset for tracking. So calibrated perfectly when I move 90 degrees left or right the calibrator moves 90 degrees then I try it with FSX and it only moves about 25 degrees left or right. Now I see in Iwear it says

Pressing Control F7 allows adjustment to tracking.

So I'm guessing you can adjust the settings so it moves the way your head does. So whats my problem? When I press Control F7 nothing happens. zilch. No settings no nothing. Now if this helps I'm using Win XP with service pack 3.

I know I'm doing something wrong but just can't figure out what. I have the vr920 for a week now and I haven't played 1 game yet just tried to get the head tracking working and its the same problem with every game. The yaw.....

IP320 and 3D videos

vartech — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:54:13 GMT

I have a couple of 3d dvds from Vuzix and want to convert them and use on my IPod. I was told to rip the movies from the dvd which I did using xiliosoft dvd ripper. they were now MP4. They are not 3-d I was told to use ICUITI3DL or ICUITI3DR in the composer tag ID3. I add this info in Itunes but still no go. Can someone please help?

Different color depth per eye?!?

teknix1 — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 05:38:52 GMT

I know there's currently issues with the color depth with the VR920 but is anybody else experiencing what seems to be different color depth per eye?

The right eye is correct but the left one seems to be displaying 256 colors or something like it. It's quite noticeable when playing movies. I haven't played many games on it so far, but in the demo game AirXonix it is quite visible in the water as your character is approaching the field.

Any ideas? Can this be fixed?

Thanks

AV920 Blue Screen -- and that's it

tw — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 18:35:14 GMT

I'm using a Windows XP SP2 machine that seems to pick up the AV920. When I plug in, it detects the USB Human Interface Device -- but that's all.

When I power the AV920 on, I see nothing but a blue screen. Eventually, it turns off, I suppose due to not interacting properly with the computer (it has a full charge, 1+ days)

The same goes for when I try to watch videos on an iPod.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Screen needs time to warm-up?

Phearbot — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 00:57:16 GMT

When I tried to use my iWear today after about two weeks of non-use the right screen was really buggy. At first it only showed white box on a blue background, then after abut 2 minutes of being on and several unplug/replugs it showed the screen but at a very low refresh rate with lots of burn in, it proceeded to then flash horrible, look like a tv on a scrambled channel, and after another 2-3 minutes finally settled down. Is this something I should be concerned with? Has anyone else had the same problem?

I noticed the issue has come up here, but I didn't see a definite response as to whether this was an issue. http://forums.vuzix.com/Topic3157-10-1.aspx?Highlight=warm

Just bought vr920 and I have head tracking problems.

tcla75 — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 14:12:00 GMT

I know when someone asks for help it can be hard to help them sometimes because everything hasn't been explained properly so I will go into as much detail as I can.

Trying to get the head tracking working on a demo of unreal tournament 2004. The stereo 3d works just fine when I start the game but no tracking. I have a mac mini runing windows XP on boot camp. Is this game meant to work automaticly when you enable it or do you have to play around with scripts?

I have the latest verson of iwear 2.3. I have the game in the enabled list. Tracking status shows yaw,pitch and roll. My glasses track with the demos downloaded from the Vuzix site so I know its not the glasses. When I click on UT in enabled list it shows how to turn on tracking but for a total noob I don't understand what it is saying. Below are the instructions for head tracking please read through it as I point out which parts are confusing me.

Tracking:
1.The Process of tracking requires the proxy driver to be installed. (((How do I know if this is installed. I did a search and it is in the UT files)))
Tracking is accomplished using a DirectInput emulation process. ((( Do I have to enable this or is it done automaticly? If so how do I enable it?)))

NOTE: The 'IWRView mutator' Must be enabled in the mutators list to enable VR920 Tracking. (((Where is the mutators list? How do I enable it?)))

2. The and configuration files will require modifying for tracking support: (((How do you mod the config files?)))
“\System\UT2004.ini” (((What???)))
“\System\User.ini” (((Again What??? I opened both files but don't know what to do with them)))
The UT2004.log file access will be disabled during iWear Tracking sessions.

3. Run Unreal Tournament(UT2004.exe) as normal.
NOTE: Upon entering and reconfiguring your control interface in UT2004's configuration panel
the iWear tracking system may become disabled. To reenable the tracking system:
*** Exit UT2004, and ReRun UT2004 as normal. (((Tried this didn't work)))

4. Pressing provides for 4 modes of operation: (((Also tried this and nothing happened)))
0: Tracking is disabled.
1: users view and weapon aim is attached to the VR920 tracker With mouse pitching control
2: users view and weapon aim is attached to the VR920 tracker Mouse pitching control is disabled.
3: users view is independant of mouse weapon aim.
* Walk/Move in direction the weapon is aimed.
4: users view is independant of mouse weapon aim.
* Walk/Move in direction the user is looking. (((None of these worked)))

I hope I have showed you from my point of view where I'm lost and that you can help me. There is a thread in here about the same game and tracking issues but it didn't answer any of the above questions.

Mac Mini help?

tcla75 — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 01:18:28 GMT

Just got my glasses and can't get anything but blue screen with USB input (can't find clone option) and no head tracking with VGA (Which is why I bought it) the graphics on the mac mini are intel based. I have waited 18 years to be able to afford a VR head set and right now I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if the mac mini can not work with this head set. So I have two questions and would really appreciate if any one has the answer. 1st I have the latest mac mini so does anyone know if I can get "ANY" game to work with head tracking? If not I will buy a PC so the second question is what kind of PC should I buy config wise. eg... dual core procesor 2G ram and ???graphics card. Any help here would be really more than welcome.

UT2004 stopped working

MaxSMoke777 — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 10:39:12 GMT

I had UT2k4 up and running great yesterday, but now it's not doing the 3D thing, only the head tracking. Also, I can't change the head tracking mode with F7, or F7+CTRL. I would like to be able to look independent of my aim.

I noticed that there is a warning message "VR920's VGA port not found", but I have no problem using it in 3D with DOOM3, and using it as second monitor for my computer.

Also, I can't get Half-Life 2's 3D to kick in either. Actually, Steam is now crashing on bootup, so I can't even start HL2 right now. It was working an hour ago, but now it's messed up too. God, it's just one problem after another. My computer seems to be developing an immunity to these glasses, and it's rejecting them on every level.

Hi,
I've had My VR920's for about a year now, and for that period of time i've been having a problem with Flight Simulator 10 Crashing.
It's only after I exit the virual cockpit, a dialog box pops up that gives me the choice of exiting, click on exit and thats when it crashes everytime and wants to send info about a D3D.dll problem to microsoft.
It does'nt seem to matter what driver version I have, they over the year seem to have all had that problem.
If I uninstall the drivers the problem goes away.
Direct x and all system drivers are up to date that I know of.
Thanks in advance for any ideas that might help.

3D Vizualizer Keeps Crashing on Startup

alexn — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 03:32:48 GMT

I have had the 3d visualizer program running and it always worked fine, as far as I can see I have changed nothing since it was last working, now everytime I launch the program it crashes and it pops up about sending an error report to Microsoft, the display on the iwear freezes and I have to unplug the USB and re insert to get the display to work again. Everything else works fine, I play COD4 and Half Life 2 EP2 and FSX no problem, the 3d picture viewer also works. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and it still does the same thing.

Please can someone help me get it working again?

VR920 With FSX no tracking

MartyFSX — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 07:56:59 GMT

Hi !

I'm trying to install my VR920 on Flight Simulator X since few days and I have a tracking problem.
When I use vuzix driver 1.06 the tracking is ok with FSX but no possibility to stop the shaking (leaded by captor sensitivity I think). Calibration is OK (ctrl F7/F8 not run with this driver).
If I use older driver like 1.1, 2.0 or 2.2 (latest) the tracking won't work !
The Firmware is the latest. All the files are present inside the good folder like asked by IWRMonitor.

Le log file VR920 gives this message :
IWRProxy: startup
IWRProxy: Locking 1, RenderMethod 0
IWRProxy: No Presentation Callback
IWRProxy: No Presentation Callback
IWRProxy: No Presentation Callback
.
.
.
IWRProxy: Shutdown

When I try to press Ctrl F7/F8 inside FSX nothing happen !

I follow all steps of the manual, I don't understand the problem ...

Just an information : I didn't used the standard folder for installing FSX, I chose my folder!

Please help me !!!

cheers

call of duty 4 dll files are not allowed with punk buster.

frogger — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 02:19:21 GMT

this wouldnt happen to me when i first installed cod4. then after installing the 2.1 software awhile back i found it stoped working again and i reinstalled cod4, and once again installed all the dll files needed for the vr920. short after this i realised it was those dll files leading to me getting removed from servers. so since i dont use my vr920 with cod4 i just deleted the files and it was all good.

after installing the 2.2 software the files were placed in the game folder automaticly and i need to remove them again.

this is basicly a heads up to anyone that is having the same problem and maybe to vuzix incase they didnt know about the problem. but then it might just be my system.

regards
shane.

Shaking when 3d activated

stacheman — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 13:15:36 GMT

Does anyone know what type of adjustment to make so that the image doe not shake from left to right when the 3D is activated?

I know there are different adjustments under the "ctrl F7, F8 menus but I don't uinderstand how to use them.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

stupid stuff happening again

frogger — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 02:34:02 GMT

it seems everytime i update the vuzix software one of the games i play is effected , last time cod4 wasnt compatible with punkbuster cause of vuzix dll files , now since the 2.2 update my fs2004 doesnt run , i get the error fs2004 could not run cause your current version of directx 9 is incompatible. so i update directx and i get the same thing. after 3 formats and reinstalling windows i thought i had fixed it till i installed the vuzix software. and it messed up again , i deleted all the vuzix fs2004 files and it works again .

so now im going to update my graphics drivers and try it again but other then that i dont know. must be only some systems.

Tracking - x-plane

Hello everyone, and sorry my English ....
I recently bought the VR920 and I ask your help for these things.

X-PLANE 8.60 when the game is about to start the system crashes and turn off your PC. I managed only once to start it without the nvidia driver activated but it is as if there had been air beneath me :-(. I have installed GeForce 9700 GT the driver nforce stereo 91.31 and 91.31 on xp sp2 amd 5600 dual core 2gb ram. Another thing I ask you kindly ... Why remain when the tracking firm continues to make shots right and left? Someone helps me to calibrate it?
Thanks to everyone in advance for the answers.

Good day!

Still having problems with calibrating

bikbok — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 15:00:30 GMT

Hello.

I've had the Vuzix 920 gear for some months now, and as much as I would love to say that I'm hooked, I sadly cannot.

I have long been waiting for a consumer friendly VR-solution, and thought that Vuzix VR920 would be it. The resolution is great, the gear it self looks and feels great on my head, but there are so many technical issues with the head-tracking system.

I have spent hours trying to calibrate these goggles and trying to get the gauges to fill up. I have read threads in the forums with tips on how to calibrate, but to this date I have yet found a game where I can move my head around IRL and the same movement appears in game. I am not talking about a few glitches here and there. What I am talking about is almost total randomness. I would look up and the character in game would look sideways, I would look sideways and the character would shake and perhaps look down.. there are no patterns. I would often start the game by look behind my self, like having eyes in the neck.

I have heard that the way the gear actually recognize the movement is just the same way as a compass would know which way is north. Is it possible that do to my location (way up north in Norway), that the goggles just won't work? I have no idea, but would like someone to respond just as well.. I have sort of given up, but I thought I could give it just one more chance if anyone had any ideas.

World of Warcraft Camera issues

Hello all, this is my first post.

I recieved a VR920 for my birthday back in July (god my girfriend loves me :D) When I first got it to be honest I didnt give it much time. I installed it and played on the demo games, threw it on WoW was amazed by the Stereoscopic enviroment, but i had a terrible flicker problem. As I do alot of Raiding on WoW I didnt have much time to troubleshoot and the unit got put to one side.

Recently with a new job I have much more time soare time on my hands and decided to give the unit the attentio it deserves. Ive managed to resolve the flicker by defaulting the VSync setting to Forced on, as this flicker was also occuring on Crysis and COD4 I knew it wasnt a WoW problem, Head Tracking works fine as does Stereoscopic on Crysis and COD4 however,, On wow the tracking works as to say it tracks when i move my head however it seems it defaults the Zero point camera view (usually at the rear looking at the back of the character) to an offset of 45 degrees to the right.

After much trawling of the forums I found a few posts but only one that seemed to match my problem, unfortunately there is no solution http://forums.vr920.com/Topic33-5-1.aspx?

If anyone else has experienced this issue and resolved it please give me a clue, a reply from Tech Support would also be appreciated.

If you require more info please just ask away.

Thanks in advance
