Hellblade Error

[kasperkyd]

Hi guys,

I've downloaded the 3D Fix for Hellblade, and when I run the game I get the error message below. The weird thing is that I don't even have E partition on my computer. So what is E:\p4Workspaces? and why I get this location error?

LowLevelFatalError [File:E:\P4Workspaces\HellbladeRelease\UE4\Engine\Source\Runtime\RenderCore\Private\RenderingThread.cpp] [Line: 796]

    The location is where the game's code was when the game was built on the dev's computer. All I can tell from this is there is a graphics-related issue occurring.

Is this the reason why there is no Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice file on Helix Mod? It's not gonna work in 3D?

It was never posted to Helixblog, but you can find the fix in post 136 in the old thread below. Also, 3DFM I believe has the fix and will install it for you..

I just finished replaying it in glorious HDR. Truly one of the best looking 3D titles I ever played, I used the config tweak to extend FOV and then used 3DFM to push the depth to 150%. It took a while to fix HDR, I had to tweak my TV, but once I got it all working...wow. can't wait for the sequel, can only pray its DX11, but I'm worried after Microsoft got its grubby little hands all over it and is pushing DX12 next gen.

Verify game files.
Try turning off the Steam Overlay.
Start Steam and the game with administrative privileges.
Make sure that you firewall is not blocking the application or 3Dmigoto.

I had some strange "D3D device lost" startup errors with this game, too - online most ppl suggested underclocking the GPU but that didn't help. Eventually, I just kept starting the game up, rebooted my comp a few times and it kicked in.

I am quite late to the game (?) with this game but - IS IT AMAZING OR WHAT?! In terms of 3D it's in my top 3-5 I think, the art design is mind-blowing, the atmosphere, sound, enemies, locations...wow, what a gem of an indie game, better than many AAA titles. And it's so well optimized, I ran it pretty much maxed at 60fps in 3D on a 2060. It's incredible how well they optimized this engine, there's like no AA in this game and the effects are mind-blowing.

Anybody with a 3D setup should play this game, this is demo material.

[3DNovice]

I had a friend asking where he could find the fix for this.

Oddly, this fix is not on Helixblog. It was fixed by Helifax and DarkStarSword.

I do not see it listed on Helifax's site either.

[Lysander]

Yeah, is there a way someone would kindly add it to the blog list? Itd be a shame for anyone to miss this amazing fix due to poor...marketing

[Shift-E]

Hellblade just got a next gen update for Xbox, PC version to come:

https://hellblade.com/optimised

While I would love to see the ray tracing in this game, I cant give up true 3D...BUT I do hope we can still enjoy the Texture resolution bump, Chapter select, increased particle quality, increased draw distance, and higher levels of detail additions.

remember to backup your game folder for Hellblade... just in case the eventual steam update breaks the 3D fix and you can no longer enjoy this glorious game in 3D

That is a good catch!

It's not on my list of on HelixBlog for the simple reason that is doesn't uses a standard 3DMigoto version. It is a special version that DarkStarSword made for this game and I helped with the actual shader fix. It's quite a long time ago, when we made that fix ^_^ I remember bugging DSS to take a look at it as it is one of the most awesome games I ever played in Stereo3D!
I can add it to my website list and to the Blog with a FAT BIG DISCLAIMER not to USE d3d11.dll from this fix with anything else (because it will not work with any other game or fix ^_^).
The fix is hosted on my website, it's just there is no direct link to it...shame on me

[3DNovice]

Thanks for addressing this, as well as the fix!

[Lysander]

Yes, this fix cannot get lost - it needs to be highly visible as this game is insanely good in 3D.

[helifax]

I'll just drop this here:)

Hello all, I am getting a Fatal Error now when trying to play this game in 3D. it used to work fine, but I think an update broke the fix. Can anyone please confirm? I can launch the game fine without the 3D fix and play the game even 3D kicks fine, but the lighting/shadows are broken, but if I install the fix the game will crash saying Fatal Error!. I made sure I selected dx11 API. but nothing. If this is working for someone else. Please let me know.

Thanks,

[Tullebob]

I get the same Fatal Error result, even if dx11 is enabled and ray tracing etc is disabled. Game loads up fine with 3d engaged without the fix files installed. CM works fine. Guess Helifax should take a look if he has time as to what is causing the error. Something is preventing the game from loading when fix is installed.

[Lysander]

I know this fix has a custom 3dmigoto build. Can someone try grabbing the normal d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46.dll (e.g. from the UE4 Universal Fix) and replacing the ones from Hellblade fix? It's just an idea, maybe that custom build is no longer necessary with the new version?

This was build on a custom 3DMigoto build that DarkStarSword made quite a few years ago. I am not sure where the crash happens and there isn't much I can really do about it...
I think the best bet, is to get the previous - no DLSS version and use the fix with that.

But maybe the UE4 universal fix will work now This was done before that was a "thing"

[Tullebob]

Ok, I gave it a go with the universal fix. The good news is that the fix works, boots up fine. Performance seems better than I remember with the old fix. The area I played had my GPU maxed out. Bad news is that some effects are broken. Seems to be an issue with shadows and some blur on the main character. But much seems fine. Perhaps Losti could take a look at this then, since the universal fix allready seems to go some way towards a fix for this. Game is amazing in 3d.

Another alternative, would as Helifax says, be to get the old game version and use the old custom fix. But for some reason steam does not allow to revert to old version for this game.

[sebastatu]

Ok good to know, im not the only one having issues. Unfortunately, there is no way in Steam to go back to an older version of the game. which is a shame. thanks to everyone who tested it and replied to this thread. Hopefully Losti, at some point will take a look at this.

But that's not what I meant. Do not USE the Universal Fix for Unreal Engine - of course shaders will be broken. Keep the shaders from the original Hellblade fix and only use the 2 DLLs I mentioned (they don't have to be from the Universal Fix, they can be from any of the newer fixes - the point is, the Hellblade fix uses custom DLL(s) and my assumption was that this may no longer be needed).

Try that.

[Tullebob]

Ok, just gave it a go ( d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46.dll from Universal fix). Still broken. Game loads up fine, but may 3d effects are broken. So I guess this game will need some fixing if we are to get back the fully working 3d fix, as the previous version of the game is no longer available from steam.

[Lysander]

Damn. Yeah, that sucks. I guess the shaders for the base game changed when they released the enhanced edition. This majorly sucks because this was one of those demo 3D games

[Tullebob]

I agree. Hellblade 3d fix is a showchase for our beloved 3d vision. Along with (IMHO): DOOM eternal vulkan, Witcher 3, Star wars Fallen Jedi, Dark souls games, RE2 and RE7, Tomb Raider games (last two in DX12), Dead Space games, evil within games, god of war games (1 and 2 on PCSX2) +2018, gta 4+5, mortal kombat 11, sekiro, alien isolation, etc. Let us hope Hellblade will be fixed to work again. I hope this will not be a trend that older dx11 games are updated by the developers and become out of reach for 3d vision Bad enough that Elden Ring and RE8 are not fixable

If you know your way around: You can still download the older version from the Steam Depot. I am sure it's still there I will have to give it a look and see if I can't grab that older version.
Alternatively, somebody who is a lot more familiar with the UE4 Universal fix could probably re-do the fix

Looking at the manifests, the older version can still be downloaded:

Hi Helifax, were you able to pull the older depot? I dont seen to have the option to it in steam. It would suck to have to pirate the game that already paid for. :/

[helifax]

I didn't get around to try it yet I know I did it in the past
You need to use some tools but it's basically this:
