Sniper Elite V2

Here's a game that I'm surprised never got a proper fix before. I remember people saying that the game (and also Sniper Elite 3) was extremely broken and unfixable, which was actually very far from the truth. Anyway, got 'er all fixed up nicely now, and able to enjoy those x-ray headshots in all their 3D glory. It's a fun enough game, a bit arcadey and shallow for my likings, but I know some people absolutely loved it. And for those wondering: yes, I can/will also fix Sniper Elite 3 (and probably will also be able to fix the upcoming Sniper Elite 4)! I already made significant progress back when it had a free weekend on Steam a couple weeks back, but then the developer ended the free weekend at 6PM on the Sunday, rather than later, and I was about an hour into working on my fix at that point. Grrrr. So as a matter of principle I decided against buying the game at that time, and will revisit it when it's next on sale.

Fixed:

• Lighting & shadows
• Bloom effects
• HUD & 3D crosshair implemented

Not fixed:

• I don't have the DLC for the game, so I could not fix the sniper crosshairs for any DLC rifles

Instructions

1. Download fix: Version 1.0

2. Extract fix contents to ..\Sniper Elite V2\bin folder

3. In-game settings:  Should work across all game settings.

4. Optional - Either set StereoFlagsDX10 setting to 0x00004000 in Nvidia Inspector by following these instructions, or simply disable compute shaders in the options (only thing I noticed is they are used for bloom effects on fires, so don't think turning them off is a bad option if you have issues with using Nvidia Inspector)

5. Key Presets:
\  key             -      Cycles through static HUD depth settings. Might work for pushing DLC rifle crosshairs into depth
Caps Lock     -      Toggles convergence to 0.5. Good for during the bullet travel cams.


Tools used / Special thanks:

-3DMigoto version 1.2.43. Thanks to bo3b and DarkStarSword for their continued efforts, and also to Chiri for his initial creation of the tool
-DarkStarSword's auto-depth 3D crosshair code and HUD filtering technique
