It doesn't look like there's much work needed for PC2 as most things work well. I noticed some signs on the side of the track that lost all their details in one eye but looked fine in the other and all the cars in front of me have messed up shadows or something but there's a lot that works good. Reflections on the ground even in the rain seem great. The water hitting your windshield seems great. The windshield itself and rest of the interior of the car (the only view I use when driving) seem great. A lot of effects and reflections seem great.

are you using Project Cars 2's WIP 3D fix by DHR? it fixes 90% of the game and is very playable. only main issues are shadows from the clouds being only in one eye, and dark halos around cars when its raining. both these issues only appear under certain time of day and weather so many times the racing looks perfect. but yeah, I've always hoped these issues would be fixed...game looks AMAZING in 3D. the WIP fix does not work on Automobilista 2 unfortunately, even though its the same engine (modified).

I have been meaning to test out PC2 with geo-11, could always use some extra performance..

Being such a long time avid 3D gamer, that should have been easy for you to find. Like I've said previously, it's pretty easy to try disabling shaders to
remove broken effects, as opposed to fixing them. So if something is annoyingly messed up and it can not be disable via in-game settings or a
config file/dev console, you might want to try it out

I played a ton of that game, the issues are just a nuisance under certain weathers and cloud covers - nothing game breaking

I tried many times to hunt the VS or PS responsible for the cloud shadows but could not find it, same with the dark halos during rainy weather. oh make sure to have AA on like MSAA, as it cleans up the halos in regular weather with the fix.

EDIT: I have PC2 and was checking it out. now most from what I seen is that the shaders that are broke can be disabled in this case. from the looks of it it might be a daunting task as there is so many different weather patterns to select which could cause all kinds of broke effects.

So far I was in cloudy day and found a few shaders, and I then changed the weather to thunderstorms and I seen some more Halo like broke effects.. that is mostly what I seen was a halo broke effect.. but there is probally gonna be alot and when I ran Migoto there seemed to have been about 3-400 shaders in the PS category which would be a major pain to hunt through..

I thought 3DNovice had posted the link to the fix above, but man its hard to find anything on that old Nvidia site. I gave up and uploaded it if you need it:

Thiis is the origianl WIP fix that the great DHR posted to the old forum, but never on Helixblog. I've played in every weather possible, the only two big issues I saw were:

1) Shadows on the ground from clouds are only in one eye. so this would be suns out with some clouds, I could never find the shader responsible - its probably one of them that makes the whole screen image black or something. Overcast weathers look perfect as there is no sun.

2) anytime it rains, the spray effects of water coming off of the cars causes the dark halos. If I disable the water spray shader, the dark halos disappear - but I decided it looks too weird, I prefer to have the spray effects when its raining. To hunt this shader I would use an open wheel car on Le Mans straights and look for the halo. could not find it, DHR gave me the code that should fix it in original thread but none of the PS or VS affected the halo that I could find.

the rest were all minor issues of reflections slightly wrong depth, and some broken textures during night racing. nothing constant like the 2 big issues. Would be amazing if we could ever fix them, I would gladly play without cloud shadows and just disable them if I could find the shader.

Hey I appreciate the effort but that website is web infected or something. can you upload it to a better site or google drive or something. I tried to go there but man that website is a mess and I could not dl the file..

Please if you are going to link something please use a proper more respectable upload file server.. I am probally infected now haha!!
