In the GOG.com version, 3D Vision will only trigger by executing <path-to-game>\bout2.exe, and not the <path-to-game>\Windows\BouT2.exe used for the normal shortcuts.
3D Vision fix by DarkStarSword[3]
  1. Download the fix from Helix Mod's web site.
  2. Extract the content to <path-to-game>.
  3. Ingame, the "K", "L", "semicolon" and "quote" keys will switch to higher convergence presets respectively. "L" is recommended for most of the game.
