Hello,

I can't save the convergence with geo-11: I tried to modify the dm_convergence value in d3dxdm but it doesn't work (with the value 0 for dm_auto_convergence). However it works well for dm_separation, is there a trick to make it work with convergence?

Also, it is not possible to really cut 3D with the geo-11 drivers, if you do a ctrl+T, the image returns to 2D but the elements of the image remain as if you were in 3D. When using a large convergence, it is therefore necessary to reduce it manually if you want to see certain elements hidden by 3D. Is it possible in d3dxdm to establish a keyboard shortcut to be able to switch to a less important convergence?

Thank you for your answers !

You can set this keyboard shortcut in the d3dx.ini file. For example, for a convergence value of 50 and 100 for the F1 key:
[Key_Convergence_KB]
key = F1
convergence = 50, 100
type = cycle

Thanks very much ! I thought there was such an option in d3dx but I didn't know where to find it. So, does anyone know why the convergence setting does not work in d3dxdm ?

Thanks very much! How to find it.

Set "dm_auto_convergence = 0" and manual convergence should work.
Also make sure semicolon before ";[KeyDecreaseConvergence]" is removed as well as the other values....

;Key
;type
;run

If there is a semicolon before these values it will be ignored by Geo-11.
The experience should actually be far better if you can maneuver Auto-Convergence. It eliminates the tinkering with hotkeys while you play. But to make sure it runs as intended is still a mystery. In Kena you get an unstable Depth Buffer that causes the values to jump around. And I would assume Auto Convergence gets its input from the DB. So if this value isn't stable and the transition not a balanced cosine value then it could cause your eyes to explode.

So far I've also not been able to get the convergence to save. Its a bit buggy or I'm ignorant about the mechanics.

You and I both struggle with d3dxdm's convergence adjustment and alternating between 2D and 3D modes. I'm frustrated by it.

Unfortunately without access to the specific software and hardware, I do not have enough context to provide specific troubleshooting steps. However, based on the issue description, here are some general tips on adjusting convergence settings: geometry dash

- Make sure dm_auto_convergence is disabled if you want to manually configure convergence.

- Try adjusting convergence values in small increments - large changes may get ignored or clipped.

- Confirm the geo-11 driver and software are saving settings properly. Reset to defaults and re-test.

- Check for updated geo-11 drivers that may improve convergence configuration.

- For keyboard shortcuts, see if the software has a settings file to create custom hotkeys to adjust convergence values.

- Use external macro programs as a last resort to simulate hotkeys and pass convergence commands.

- For 2D mode issues, check for a "Stereoscopy Off" option to disable 3D rendering completely.

Without the specific software available, it's hard to pinpoint solutions. But methodically testing different convergence values, ruling out driver/settings issues, and interfacing with the software's hotkey system would be good troubleshooting steps. Let me know if any other questions come up!

This is great, ty.
Is it possible to have one for disabling 3D outright?
Like a toggle between stereo and flatscreen?

set convergence to 0

ctrl+t is the native hotkey in recent geo-11 versions. However, if won't give you back the lost performance. It's just a toggle that sets separation to 0.

Gotcha, good to know in case of unruly scenes where even minimal convergence isn't cutting it.
Thanks, folks.
