Skybox, SSAO, and glow post-processing issues. Skybox can be minimized with convergence adjustment. SSAO can be disabled. The glow can be turned off.

I did find the 3D Vision controls were iffy--sometimes convergence and enabling 3D wouldn't work, perhaps the keys were interfering with the game somehow? Somtimes 3D would not work unless I changed the AA setting, not necessarily turning it off, just changing it's state seemed to make 3d vision work. I found setting the bloom intensity to very low--like 0.1--would prevent the overly-bright default setting for washing out the scene, but this is more personal taste than a problem with the 3D engine.

Part IV: Secondary Anomalies

The 2D skybox is at the wrong depth. Some games use a 2D panoramic picture or backdrop for the scenery in the far distance. Examples include mountains, sky, and terrain. In this case, the picture is at screen depth or seems to look out of place compared to the other objects in the scene. Mountains that aren't doubled when viewed without glasses are a good example of this.
