Don't get wrong the modders are doing a great job - but they're clearly hacking around things rather than being able to get deep into the code and make the necessary adjustments to get this working.

Is there no hope of an official patch?

no hope.

officials don't even like 3D, 3d vision support was disregarded even before the games release.

now that they have left Skyrim behind, they won't even think about Rift support.

and i wouldn't say modders are hacking around. the modders solution probably will be better, than what Bethesda would have done.
