Here are the games that I have tested on Windows 10 (1903) and Nvidia 425.31 that are not on the above list. Please note: I created my own profile for several of these using universal fixes. Games are listed in the order that I believe are the best experiences to the not so good ones, starting from top (best) to bottom (meh).

OUTER WILDS
WRECKFEST
SHAPE OF THE WORLD
F.E.A.R.
SOUTH PARK: THE FRACTURED BUT WHOLE
HARD RESET
BENDY AND THE INK MACHINE
OSIRIS: NEW DAWN
MUTANT FOOTBALL LEAGUE
A PLAGUE TALE: INNOCENCE
OUTWARD (actually should be higher, but crashes on exit, see community discussion)


NBA PLAYGROUNDS
MY FRIEND PEDRO (created own profile, Unity Universal 3d fix)
VISCERA CLEANUP DETAIL (see #10)
BAJA EDGE OF CONTROL HD (see community discussion on Turok, dx11)
PROJECT WARLOCK (created own profile, used Unity universal 3d fix)
LIFE IS STRANGE
CANDLE
1979 REVOLUTION: BLACK FRIDAY (cursor goes missing in VR)
IMMORTAL REDNECK
KING'S QUEST (see #10, looks great, but menu items disappear & effects inventory)
HOMESICK (looks great, but cursor disappears)
AMERICAN FUGITIVE
SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE (probably need better than 1060 GTX)
GRIM DAWN (see #10, not worth the graphical glitches with the shadows, etc.)
THE OUTER WORLDS (several graphical glitches)
ABSOLUTE DRIFT (just doesn't look good in 3D, not really worth it)

Beyond eyes
Finally got this one working. 4everawake recommended it on the obscure indie game forum page of nvidia. But I battled to get it working and gave up. Now its working in HelixVision and I made a recording that I will share pretty soon. It uses an unique render technique that's very satisfying. Its actually very short but nice in VR.

Lego: The hobbit
Remember the first time I tested it it crashed. It seems it works now pretty good without the fix. Only problem with this game is that the convergence is sometimes too high. Awesome game with iconic music! Very adventurous.
https://youtu.be/ezs2hHuHU2s

The Walking Dead 3: A New Frontier
This was the first in the series I got to work but it was no quick experiment. It works really well when it works and I wish I could pinpoint the problem. From reverting to older 425 driver to trying every single setting in HV, to deleting the profile with inspector. I had to because when I initially launched it it worked. After a crash it just stopped and took me 5 hours to get it working again.
It would be great to have them all on the curated list.

Brother's, A Tale of Two Sons
Game works stunning with 2k DSR. The UI is a bit broken. But there aren't much to change.
https://youtu.be/d7XnUNh_eOY



Grid 2
I used 3D migoto's d3dx to activate "run = CustomShader3DVision2SBS" and played through Virtual Desktop. The game doesn't render well in the HMD. But didn't spend a lot of time trying different options.



Lara Croft & the Tempel of Osiris
There are many things broken and not rendering right. Some settings have to be turned of like shadows. I've also managed to get 2K DSR to work and the game does look very good and is playable! The convergence also needs to get a button assigned for cut scenes. Otherwise it will break your eyes. Also need to align the convergence with Lara's circle around her to have it flush with the surface she'e walking on. Seems like this texture is the same as water and cant be edited individually or something.

Never alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)
Game works pretty well. The UI just a bit broken like the others.



================================================



Listed games that are broken for me in Mixed Reality
Half Life 2 Update
Ori and The blind Forest

Sorry, I don't have this game, so cannot try it.

Looks like it supports both DX9 and DX11 modes. Might be worth experimenting with. Since it supports 3D Vision natively, you can create a HelixVision profile that has the UsesDirect3D flag set. See the Tomb Raider profile for an example.

I will give it a go thank you for the response. I have one other tiny issue, Monster Hunter World doesnt work anymore with the program it injects but when I press F11 nothing.

How about simulators? Elite: Dangerous and Il-2 Sturmovik? Is it possible to play these via HV on projector?

Not sure, haven't tested these. I do know that the Elite Dangerous 3D fix is likely out of date because of their VR support. Worth a try though.

The Sturmovik has not 3D Fix, so not one that will presently work.

Even though both of these have VR modes, it sounds like you are wanting to use the 3DFM mode of HelixVision instead. Should work fine with the same caveats that the fixes might be broken by updates.

Dementium 2 HD works in VR out of the box.
FastLawyer Jun 30, 2020 @ 11:48am 
Wonder Boy (or Wonder Girl): The Dragon's Trap is currently 60% off and works in VR right out of the box. It looks magnificent in 3D in VR.
FastLawyer Jul 1, 2020 @ 2:35pm 
I almost hate reporting that this game works. I only bought it because it was only $1.59 USD in the current Steam summer sale. Don't judge! Anyways, The Vagrant works in VR in 3D almost out of the box, as long as you don't install the UE 2 Universal Fix. I can never get UE version 2 Universal fix to work though.

Anyways, I didn't see any issues. Looks fine in VR. Not great like Wonder Boy. This highlights that although both are 2D scrolling games, one could look fantastic in 3D in VR and the other just so so. I think a lot of it has to do with the art style and lighting within the game. With the correct use of light you can just make images pop in VR (or art style).
FastLawyer Jul 2, 2020 @ 2:49pm 
Suicide Guy works. However, you do need to add game to new profile. Then just simply add the Unity Engine universal fix. Looks great. Only issue I noticed is that in the distance, in the background, you can see some issues with light and a slight double-image. However, it does look really good. Almost like it's made for VR ... that would be because the dev is working on a VR port for this game. So yeah, not surprising that it looks great in 3D in VR.
FastLawyer Jul 3, 2020 @ 1:11pm 
Reporting another Steam Summer sale gem. This time it's El Matador. Only .79 cents USD! You do have to create a new profile. Besides selecting the exe and the 3D fix install folder, the only other thing you need to do is select DX9. Make sure to install wrapper 3D fix.

As for the game itself, turn off all shadows in the settings. The game looks good. I wish there were VR games like this. There is one big issue though, the aim reticle seems to be off in 3D and you will be missing a lot. I changed difficulty to easy to somewhat counter that issue.
FastLawyer Jul 4, 2020 @ 2:18pm 
Tower of Guns should be added. Unreal Engine 3 with DX9.
organizedmast60 Jul 4, 2020 @ 2:26pm 
I finally got lost planet 2 to work game engine is MT Framework. It works right outta the box and requires minimal tweaking. Direct X11 SBS works like a charm. Anyone knows how I could share the profile with others ?? Bo3b holla at ya boi. I'm pretty sure I could share the details in this forum but is there like a template I could use to show the pertinant info that one would need. Sorry guys dont mean to be a pain in the ass just trying to help.

For the time being, I think this thread is the best place for these. I check back here to find out what people have gotten working, and add them to the main releases as I can.

If you or others create HelixVision profiles that are functional, you can email them to me at <helixvision@bo3b.net>. Thanks.
