---|---|---|---|---|
Nvidia 3D Vision | Use Helix Mod: Blur for better 3D support. |
Issues fixed
Unable to play online
- This is an issue which involves an inability to connect to online games, caused by Blur's overly strict reliance on port forwarding.
- The only reliable way to play online is to use Virtual LAN software such as Hamachi or Tunngle, the latter of which still has an active Blur community.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/42640/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (42640) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
