You have to force yourself to ignore them. I had much better results once I put
my contacts in although the 3D games tends to make you forget to blink so they
dry out fast.

I've worn for 3 hours and not even had the slightest twinge of a headache.
Go to www.wicked3d.com to find out where you can buy them Internationally. You
can always order direct from Metabyte.

Have you tried editing the file? I found the ZPD value can range from
2000 to 40000 in different config files. By putting in some extreme
numbers you get some interesting results.
I emailed Metabyte, asking for some better documentation on the config
files and the answer I got was a polite "sorry, we can't provide that
info...."
Do you know any FAQs on the web that might provide some insight into
editing these files?

If I don't use Metabyte's resolution enhancement feature (RE2Flex) then
I find no effect on FPS.
If I do use RE2Flex then I do notice a difference. I can easily accept
the FPS drop since it's not that much and what I get in return is a nice
crisp display.
Sorry, I'm not offering an objective answer.

I can't find any support for this product other than Metabyte's site.
One thing I did do under the HOTKEY config is setup the separation hotkeys so I
can hit CTRL-A and CTRL-Z to increase or decrease vertical separation until I
get the desired effects. I had to do this on Half-Life to get rid of some
"ghosting" problems. The GPL Stereo.cfg file worked right out of the zip file
even though the readme says it was for the Demo only.
And yeah, the hot keys have come in handy for me with Direct3D games. I
set up hot keys for RE2Flex toggle, Stereo toggle, and Reset. At least
on my system, D3D is flakey so I have to give it a "shot in the arm" by
using the keys to "wake it up" so that it synchs right.
Hey, if you find any Docs on the config files maybe you can post a
notice in this newsgroup - I'll do the same. I think these glasses are
becoming real popular all of a sudden so it shouldn't be "off topic".

Strange thing is, on Metabyte's site I read something about Stereo.cfg
files
are not needed anymore, but still the drivers ask for them...?

There is something screwy with the initial load and the black being seen as
transparent. Simply resetting the 3D mode will fix it and returning to the pit
screen is the easiest way to reset the 3D.
