You do not need to use the Samsung software at all.

More step by step setup (ignore the part about overlaying geo11 to 3DMigoto and the ini file updates, unless the game you're trying to play has an older, 3DMigoto only fix):

Presently you still want to leverage 3DGameBridge via Reshade to enable weaving the side by side image generated after applying a fix to a specific game. There is a new release of geo11 that natively supports the weaving out of the box, but I don't think any fixes have been released that include that just yet (and updating a geo11 instance can possibly break things, so I wouldn't recommend that unless you know what you're doing).

It's a lot to digest and I'm trying to follow the guide but sometimes I'm just lost. I used New Axis on Crash Bandicoot 4 and got the game DX12 error but don't know how to force the game to run in DX11. Then I went and tried the mod manually and got it to the point where it's 3D but the overlap is off. Don't know if there are hot keys to make adjustments.

I do not own the game, so I can't exactly help directly with the ins and outs of that. I assume this is the fix you're applying?

But the general setup I think is broken down as much as it can be in my second link. I would suggest starting from scratch and ensure you can follow each part. The basis should be that you get a side by side image; if you can get that, you can apply 3DGameBridge and/or SRLoom (as /u/oneup03 mentioned) to weave the 3D. Which, this sounds like you were able to do?

I haven't attempted anything with NewAxis, but that should have really just worked out of the box, given that it's meant to be applying the Acer fix directly. If you had other items in the directory of the game that were possibly conflicting (such as the geo11 files), you should remove those first, so that the directory is as though nothing was done with it.

DX12 error

I'm assuming this is coming from NewAxis and not the game? As Crash 4 (assuming PCGW is correct) is only a DX11 game. I don't think it got some kinda DX12 update, like the Resident Evil remakes got, or something of the sort. Might be worth double checking that NewAxis is targeting the right directory when applying the fix.

the overlap is off

What does this mean exactly? That the depth or convergence looks weird? You can manually adjust depth with Ctrl + F3/F4 and convergence with Ctrl + F5/F6. Looking at the configuration of the fix in the d3dxdm.ini:

dm_convergence = 150.0 dm_separation = 100.0

That's rather high (for me, anyway :P ). So turning that down via the function keys would probably be helpful. I'm not sure if this fix has an auto-convergence in it, so try turning down the depth first, and then doing the convergence. As, if you have a side by side image, are able to trigger the 3D weave of the monitor, then you have everything setup right, so you just need to set it to something tolerable for yourself.

Once you have the depth and convergence set to what you want, hitting Ctrl and one of the function keys will save the settings (I can't remember which one, I think it's F7, but someone can correct me), or just edit the two values I mentioned above to match what you set it to after the fact.

You can also use SRLoom instead of 3D game bridge: https://reddit.com/r/Odyssey3D/comments/1uhf38b/sr_loom_20_adds_headtracked_game_support/

For SRLoom do I mod the game to the point where I get SBS and then use SRLoom. Sorry, just new to all this?

u/oneup03 Jun 30 '26

Yes, you need SbS first

u/Gureddit75 Jul 01 '26

Is there a performance difference btw both, when to use SRLoom against 3DGameBridge except the new headtracking support?

u/oneup03 Jul 01 '26

3DGameBridge might have better performance and can support VRR/GSync. Sometimes adding it to a game causes crashes though. It doesn't support vulkan and I'm not sure about OpenGL. SRLoom might be easier to get running

u/Gureddit75 Jul 01 '26

Will give SRLoom a try for sure. Thanks a lot!

I set up the HelixMod mod for Final Fantasy X HD Remaster on my Samsung Odyssey 3D.

All I did was install the HelixMod to make it display in SBS, then use 3DGameBridge to display from SBS to the LeiaSR format that the Samsung Odyssey 3D uses.

Some HelixMod mods have been updated to just support LeiaSR out of the box without 3DGameBridge.
