DirectVR Scan no longer available in Skyrim

[baggyg]

I upgraded to a 1080ti and was very excited to see the performance in Skyrim (non SE version). Unfortunately having upgraded to the latest VorpX (17.2.1) the DirectVR scanner no longer seems to work. Having loaded a saved game, I press ALT + L but nothing happens at all. I also tried Alt + B. I could not find any other mention of the scanner in any of the menus.

I have tried a variety of things including launching vanilla version with no mods, running vorpX as an administrator, etc. The other hotkeys seem to work such as alt + V and alt + f.

Sorry if I am missing something obvious.

If it wasn’t obvious from my post, it is not the case where the scanner runs and then fails…. just nothing is shown to the screen at all…. almost as if the hotlink isn’t working

Here is the log file of the latest run if that is any help:

Unfortunately a new download link didn’t change anything. I tried both Skyrim and Fallout 4 (Clean Install). The ALT + L combination does nothing and on the vorpx in-game menu there is no button at all for run scan or the DirectVR settings.

Can you please let me know what could me to be getting this?

[Karlor]

This might sound dumb, but are you running Special-Ed or Classic Skyrim? Not sure but I don’t know if SE has DIrect VR yet. Maybe that’s your issue? Fingers crossed anyway ;)

[baggyg]

No running the classic Skyrim, not SE.

[baggyg]

I’ve practically uninstalled everything that runs on my computer to try and get this working. I noticed in the log:

INF: ProgSetting User: DVR Use Cache: true

Is there anyway to stop the cache being used just to see if that is the issue. I am clutching at straws…

[red]

Hi. It sounds like you can get VorpX to display Skyrim in the Rift but there’s no DirectVR functionality… is that right? The game loads up in the HMD and you can play even though head-tracking is all over the place. From your posts you seem to say that there’s no Direct Scan option in the VorpX in-game config panel and Alt+L isn’t doing anything.

I assume you’ve got the three necessary apps running… Oculus Client, VorpX (v17.2.1 running in the taskbar with ‘Device Selection’ set as ‘Oculus Rift’) and you’re starting Skyrim via Steam. Because you’re having trouble you’re running no mods whatsoever (so no SKSE).

I also assume that non-VorpX VR titles are working without issue.

Launch Skyrim from Steam. From ‘Options’ set as ‘Aspect Ratio (4:3 or 5:4)’ to ‘1280×1024’) and ‘Windowed Mode’, then ‘Play’. The monitor should show a black window with the VorpX logo bottom middle and the app starts in the Rift.

On or before the Skyrim main menu did you see a message window that says ‘DirectVR supported. Partially cached’ and ‘Recenter tracking if it feels odd in any way’?

Still in the Skyrim main menu (before selecting ‘Continue’ to start game) can you press ‘Del’ on the keyboard to bring up the VorpX in-game panel? In ‘Main Settings’ there’s a bunch of options starting with ‘Virtual Cinema Mode’ which should have a ‘Direct VR scan Alt+L’ option below. Is this there and can you left-click it if it is?

A month with a 1080ti and no VR Skyrim! That’s torture.

[baggyg]

Thanks for the response!

A month with a 1080ti and no VR Skyrim! That’s torture.

Indeed it is!

Your summary is almost right… everything works as intended apart from the scan. It is worth pointing out that the problem is in all games, not just Skyrim so that should rule out issues with SKSE, etc (although I am running vanilla Skyrim). I use Fallout 4 as a good example as this is a fresh install and the scan worked for me previously there. So at worst I can play with head tracking as mouse emulation.

Correct

Correct

It does, yes.

On or before the Skyrim main menu did you see a message window that says ‘DirectVR supported. Partially cached’ and ‘Recenter tracking if it feels odd in any way’?

I get the ‘Recenter tracking…’ message. I don’t get “DirectVR supported, Partially cached” in any games (Bioshock 2, Fallout 4, Skyrim, Dishonored, Deus Ex)

Still in the Skyrim main menu (before selecting ‘Continue’ to start game) can you press ‘Del’ on the keyboard to bring up the VorpX in-game panel? In ‘Main Settings’ there’s a bunch of options starting with ‘Virtual Cinema Mode’ which should have a ‘Direct VR scan Alt+L’ option below. Is this there and can you left-click it if it is?

When I press the Delete key the menu pops up with, as you say, the Virtual Cinema option at the top. The only buttons I get are “Alter FOV” (this just attempts to open the Skyrim console and enter “fov 110” – I only have this button in certain games and “Recenter Tracking (Alt + Space)”. There is no ‘Direct VR scan Alt+L’ button. It is worth pointing out I used to have this as of Vorpx version 17.1. As of 17.2.1 it has disappeared…

[red]

I’d be looking at isolating some issue with the VorpX install from 17.1 -> 17.2. I don’t say it lightly but a fresh install of Win10 would most likely work. The unidentified issue would remain unidentified but you’d be enjoying Skyrim in VR.

If that’s not an option then I’d start a new post with the title ‘17.2.1 no DirectVR option’ describing this phenomenon… hopefully the author will give his opinion (if he hasn’t already).

The lines at the top of your log file (“INF: CHECK: HOORAY!”) are not present in my log file but maybe they were present for earlier builds… this could be evidence that your VorpX install is stuck at an earlier (non-DirectVR) build. Again, difficult to troubleshoot and adequate reason to re-install.

[baggyg]

I suspect a clean Win 10 Install may. by virtue of removing everything, fix the issue. However its a very large undertaking with currently nothing to suggest it will solve the issue. It could well be that in re-setting the computer back up the same “conflict” will arise. I must also ponder on why other users with almost identical specs and software do not have the same issue. Although this is a dedicated gaming machine there is a lot of software I would have to re-download, which is very time consuming on satellite internet.

I would create a new topic but I don’t want to overly-spam Ralf with this issue. I have sent in the logs to support via e-mail and tried to make contact in a variety of ways but heard nothing back for a month now. Considering he is active on the forum I must assume he knows of my issue, although I currently can’t guess as to why I have had no response at all. Until I hear something “official” back I will just have to give up my Skyrim play through and general VorpX use. Hopefully either 17.2.2 will come out and magically fix the issue, or I’ll get some response.

Thanks for the thoughts and help though. Its been a frustrating issue and I really do appreciate people trying to help :-)

[Chopin]

I’m having the same issue–Skyrim was working absolutely flawlessly, but it seems that after the latest Oculus driver update that’s no longer the case. Exactly as the OP describes, the DirectVR scan no longer works–instead of showing the overlay with its various status bars, the image will just freeze for a few seconds, and then when it’s moving again, the geometry of the head tracking is still completely skewed like you’re using the z-buffer setting instead of the geometry setting. This is so depressing because as obnoxious as Oculus is, I don’t think there’s any way to roll the driver back, and you aren’t even able to use Oculus home unless you do update. ugh.

Ralf, please update VorpX as soon as you can, I really want to play Skyrim again.

[bob24]

works fine for me 1280×1440 with skyrim se direct scan on cv1

[baggyg]

@Chopin sorry to hear you are having similar problems to me. Hopefully between us we can get to the bottom of the problem.

I do have a slightly different experience from you in that:

instead of showing the overlay with its various status bars, the image will just freeze for a few seconds, and then when it’s moving again, the geometry of the head tracking is still completely skewed like you’re using the z-buffer setting instead of the geometry setting.

I don’t get this problem with freezing and skewed geometry. For me nothing happens as if you haven’t pressed the scan button. I presume you still get the “Run Scan” button in the VorpX menu? I don’t even get that.

[Chopin]

Not sure if you ever got this fixed baggyg, but what worked for me was uninstalling both of the Nvidia 3DVision entries from add/remove programs. This had been causing a bug where vorpx would detect all d3d9 games as having a render area of 1×1, which produced exactly the behavior you described. No issues since applying this fix.
