I used to be able to play Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 3 in full VR mode using a meta Quest 2, virtual desktop, and running it as open XR. Now for whatever reason anytime I try to run a game it says open XR creation instance failed. So I’ve tried other methods like steamvr or running the meta Quest link runtime and what that does is brings me into a space like when loading into steamvr. Then it shows a man with a VR headset on and a question mark and the game window is very small on the bottom left. I’ve tried disabling a bunch of different overlays, turning off and on Hags, checking antivirus and everything. I’ve been having this issue for about a month or two now. But I had vorpex for almost a year prior to this issue and was able to play all of my games with no problems. If I could get any insight as to what’s causing this or what I’m doing wrong I would appreciate it!
If you happen to be on vorpX 25.1.0, make sure to update to 25.1.2 by running your web installer. 25.1.0 did not work with outdated OpenXR runtime implementations like VD’s OpenXR. Unfortunately auto updates from 25.1.0 to 25.1.2 are broken, so you have to run your web installer manually. If you didn’t keep the installer, check the support FAQ for a new link.
As far as the start room is concerned, check the hint badges around the center screen. They tell you which buttons/keys you can press.
I’m no longer getting the open XR instance creation failed message anymore but vorpx still doesn’t seem to want to hook into the game. And I don’t know if the home screen you’re talking about has recently become the default, but I’ve never had to go to that space before. The game always started up with just a blurred background and I can’t get that to happen anymore. And with the home screen, the game is not the center screen it’s a very small screen off to the left. The center screen which is fairly large is just a man with a VR with a question mark. I only use one VR controller to click on things and I don’t really have the ability to use both VR controllers. When the game starts with that screen I can press delete on the keyboard and the menu will pop up, but none of my buttons will work for the game and I can’t even get off of the start screen from the game because the controller and the keyboard become inactive as soon as I enter that space. I really only use vorpx as an aiming assistance for things like Call of Duty and so mostly I just need the head tracking capability. But when I enter that gridded room there doesn’t seem to be any sort of head tracking. I don’t even know how to get that big gray box with the man in the VR to go away and how to get the game to Center.
As far as the start room is concerned, check the hint badges around the center screen. They tell you which buttons/keys you can press.
The “vr man” with question mark is the ‘new’ start room — there to display necessary hints pertaining to the profile you are launching. If it’s the first time launching that particular profile, it asks you to arrow through a page or two of brief instruction, followed by an E press to confirm. Subsequent launches only ask for an E press to confirm and continue.
So try pressing the right arrow key a few times (bottom of keyboard), followed by E key to progress past the start room.
An option to turn off the start room for subsequent launches might be appreciated by daily users, but I do understand how it is helpful and necessary for new users and new profiles.
My biggest problem with that is it completely deactivates my keyboard and gamepad. I’m not sure if there’s something I’m doing wrong, but even if I try to click on the window looking at my computer monitor rather than looking at the VR, keyboard presses don’t do anything. And it says RT or right trigger to cycle through the tabs and none of the buttons on my vr, gamepad, or keyboard actually cycle through anything. Then I tried desktop viewer last night and I got desktop viewer to do the full VR mode that I wanted and was excited I might have figured it out but it completely disabled my desktop monitor and I wasn’t able to use task manager to shut anything down nor was able to use the Windows key to shut anything down so I had to physically shut my computer down to exit desktop viewer. Again, it could just be something I’m doing wrong, but I might just have to wait until the next update to see if it’ll work then. Because aside from being able to press delete to get the menu to pop up, I can’t use Edge peak, and I can’t use any other device to bring up the menu. I do appreciate all of the assistance with this, and thank you guys for telling me that is the new home room and is the default place I will be going from now on.
