The Bard's Tale Trilogy Remastered 3d fix

[Vaeltaja]

Here's 3D Vision fix for The Bard's Tale Trilogy Remastered. The fix is made with DHR's Universal Unity Fix and I have removed shadows and some other broken effects, added depth to HUD elements. The fix should work with all three games.

Unzip fix to same folder with game's exe file and add "-window-mode exclusive" to Steam's launch parameters or alternatively make new shortcut of exe file and add it in the target field shortcut's properties without quotes. You may also have to check "disable full-screen optimization" and "run as administrator" in the shortcut's properties. I have to press Alt+Enter twice everytime I launch the game to activate 3d. If that doesn't help, run the game in Windows 8 compatibility mode.

I also recommend to disable minimap either pressing "m" or from the settings bar on the right side of game view - you can open it by clicking "more actions" -icon up right corner of game view with mouse. I also recommend enabling Large 3D View option from the game settings, it makes the world view window bigger.

You're welcome, I hope you enjoy it! Please report here if you encounter any problems with the fix.

I forgot to say that the reason I recommend disabling minimap is that it's shader is either tied to some other shader that prevents it to be pushed to depth or there's something other weird thing going on with it.

The HUD seemed to me little bit boring so that's why pushed it to different depth than text and I think it looks nicer that way. It's a shame that some icons were tied to HUD so I wasn't able to put them at the same depth with text.

Dang I'm playing this for like 10 hours before realizing it's listed under 3DFM. I've installed the fix, click PLAY 3D but the game won't start in 3D. I've bought the GOG version (decided to encourage GOG as this game is a Good Old Game and wanted it DRM free) that I use without GOG for offline play.

Hi, and sorry for late response. You need to do atleast one extra step with this fix: You have to add "-window-mode exclusive" launch command to the game's shortcut. Here's instructions: http://helixmod.blogspot.com/2020/07/3d ... ilogy.html

I hope it helps!
