Hi,
So my main use case for VorpX is to play 3rd person games in stereo 3D using the Cinema display. In this setup by far the best input method for me is my gamepad, with no headset or gesture control at all.
So far, though, it’s really hit or miss as to how easy (or even possible) I find this.
For example, Assassin’s Creed II and Batman: Arkham City both worked really easily whereas I have found GTAV and Batman: Arkham Knight impossible to get up and running, despite tinkering literally for hours.Is there a comprehensive list of VorpX settings and tips for game-setup for running gamepad-only setups?
In case it helps, my setup is PSVR2 running under SteamVR and I generally use the PS5 Dualsense controller for regular gaming.
Really appreciate any help and input and, judging by the number of posts and things I’ve seen dotted around, I think having all of these tips in one place could be helpful to a lot of people out there.
Thanks,
Alex
There are three settings that affect actual gamepad input:
– The X-Box gamepad override (which maps gamepads to mouse/kb)
– Motion controller support if set to mouse/kb emulation.
– Head tracking sensitivity for default mouse emulation tracking.All three can make vorpX simulate mouse input, which as an unavoidable side effect causes gamepad issues in games that can’t gracefully handle simultaneous mouse and gamepad input, which are quite a few. The first option actually exists to deal with such games by translating gamepad to mouse input, which allows gamepad usage in affected games together with mouse emulation head tracking.
Disabling all three makes sure gamepad input stays unaltered and no simulated mouse input can interfere with games that can’t handle both at the same time.
Disabling all three also completely breaks everything motion controller related and head tracking related except DirectVR head tracking if available for a game.
Motion controllers set to gamepad emulation should be safe unless the X-Box gamepad override is enabled.
That’s all.
