When I let VorpX autoset everything for GTA V, everything looks and works great …except I feel like the resolution has been set too low–it looks like 800×600.
I want to keep everything else the way it is while raising the resolution … but I can’t figure out how to do that.
If I set “change game resolution” to “off” in the in-game VorpX menu, the resolution stays at 800×600.
If I select “Never change any game settings” in the main VorpX configuration menu, then I think I can change the resolution in-game, but I lose VorpX’s FOV along with everything else.
How do customize the resolution without losing FOV/head tracking, etc?
The resolution is not set to 800×600 in GTA V. As explained in your other thread vorpX forces the game to run windowed and when it runs windowed the resolution that the game shows in its options menu is not the actual resolution.
If you still want to set the resolution manually, disabling auto resolution in the vorpX menu is the right thing to do. That has no influence on head tracking whatsoever.
BTW: Please post questions like this one in the ‘Technical Support’ sub-forum to reduce unnecessary forum clutter, that keeps the forum more usable for everyone. Thanks. I will move threads more often in the future, so if some future thread you may open appears to be missing, please check the other sub-forums.
Yes, I remember that explanation Ralf and was not trying to make you explain it again.
However, even if GTA V is falsely reporting the resolution when in windowed mode, the fact is I can NOT change the resolution for FullVR. I can change the resolution in Cinema mode but FullVR stays the same. (It might not be 800×600 but when I close VorpX and run GTA V in 800×600 full screen it looks very much the same.)
For whatever reason, the resolution appears locked in FullVR. How can I change this?
If you disable the auto resolution feature, vorpX doesn’t touch any resolution settings regardless of full VR/cinema mode, the behavior you observe has to be caused by something else.
One thing I can think of: please check whether you maybe have a “commandline.txt” file in your GTA V folder from manual resolution experiments. if so, delete it.

Thanks for responding, Ralf. I did have a commandline.txt in my folder, but I only added it after I ran into trouble trying to change the resolution–so it wasn’t the cause.
No, the real reason was even stupider. I’ve been using Notepad+ to change resolution in the Settings.xml file. I changed it from whatever VorpX had defaulted it to, but no matter what I changed it to, the res seemed to stay the same … because Notepad+ wasn’t actually implementing any of my changes. I would make a change and then close the Settings.xml file and I assumed Notepad+ had saved my changes since there was no “Would you like to save your changes?” style message. And when I would open the file up again with Notepad+ I could the resolution I had selected … but that was an illusion. I accidentally opened the file with some other program and was shocked to see that the resolution was still the exact same one that had been set by VorpX. Notepad+ wasn’t showing me the actual file but a phantom, unsaved version of the file. I think I’m just going to go back to regular Notepad.
