TriDef Ignition

Overview

Ignition is our next generation game driver which replaced TriDef Launchpad and includes the following features:

  • Generic DirectX9 game support
  • Windows XP and Vista support (32bit)
  • Supports ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards
  • Unique Auto Focus technology for improved 3-D
  • Optional "Virtual" 3-D render mode for performance
  • Make your own game profile and share it online

Getting Started

TriDef Ignition is part of the TriDef 3-D Experience and can be downloaded from our Downloads Page.

Once you have downloaded, installed and activated the TriDef 3-D Experience, please perform the following steps:

  1. Install one of the supported games on your computer.
  2. Start TriDef Ignition, go to Start -> All Programs -> DDD -> TriDef Ignition.
  3. Double click a game icon in Ignition to play it in 3-D.

Adding a game to TriDef Ignition

To run a DirectX9 game in 3-D simple drag-and-drop a shortcut to the game, or the executable (.exe) on to the TriDef Ignition interface. Alternatively, you can select File/Add Game (Ctrl-N). Fill in the "add game" properties including a game name, which is used in the TriDef Ignition interface; a game profile (see below) and the location of the executable file, if this has not already been filled in.

TriDef Game Profiles

Game profiles are used to configure the core 3-D game driver to work optimally with a specific game. If there is no specific profile for your game simply select the "Generic (DDD)" profile. A number of DDD certified profiles come pre-packaged with the TriDef Ignition Beta, these include the string "(DDD)" in the profile name. In addition, there are also a number of Beta game profiles "(BETA)", which have undergone less rigorous testing. When adding a new game, please check to see if a specific profile already exists for this game.

Users can modify game profiles through the in-game on-screen-display (see below). Once the user has modified the game profile it will be saved.

TriDef Game Profiles are designed to be modified and shared by users. An online discussion forum has been setup to help users share profiles for their favourite games. Check the TriDef Game Profiles thread for new profiles.

In future releases of TriDef Ignition, advanced tools will be provided to those users who want to fine tune the 3-D appearance and performance of their favourite games.

Controls

To see/edit the list of hot keys available within TriDef Ignition refer to Tools/Options in the Ignition interface. It is now also possible to configure a different set of hot keys for each game. Please refer to the game properties menu in the TriDef Launchpad interface

Within the game a number of settings can be modified using the on-screen-displays (OSD). By default the OSD is opened/closed using the Numpad-0 button (ensuring that Num Lock is on). The numpad arrow keys can be used to navigate and change settings within the OSD.

Performance Tuning

TriDef Ignition has a number of features that can be used to maximise performance and quality on your system. The online forum has a thread dedicated to peformance tuning, which contains some helpful hints.
