Everquest 2 & Nvidia 3D Vision solved

I picked up an Nvidia 3D Vision headset about a month ago, and it's been very, very cool. The only problem is that while enjoy playing almost all video games, my favorite game (Everquest 2) did not seem to function properly with EQ2. The mouse pointer was in 3D but nothing else. I had searched the web, and even called tech support and nobody could tell me what the issue was. Latest drivers, game is patched, still no 3D. Well I was messing around with the settings today and there is a LETTERBOX function, which basically adds a strip of black to the top and bottom of the screen. This improves performance because the video card does not need to redraw, animate, anti-alias all of those extra pixels, and that area is full of spells, stats, and effects anyhow, so why not.

Well, after playing with various setting today I discovered that if you remove the letterbox completely that the 3D effects work perfect. This is great, because I shelled out quite a bit of cash for a new 3D card (GTX 480), a 3D monitor, and 3D glasses, so it was kind of miserable that it did not want to work with my favorite game. Anyhow, it's working now, just in time for a Double XP weekend :)
