I apologize first off if this post is in the wrong forum but I am new to the forum stuff.
First off I would like to say this program is fantastic. PC for dummies somewhat confuses me but so far this program has been fairly user friendly.
Set my dk2 up for arma3 but have a few issues I am contending with.
1. get in the game and its on my oculus but my mouse seems to be controlled by the head tracking even outside the game.
2. I use the edgelook which I have become a big fan of but the cursor I am getting is only for the vorpx stuff and it won’t let me click on play.
I know the problem is the piece of meat sitting in front of the computer but if there is anyone that can give me an idea as to what to do I would greatly appreciate the helping hand.
Hey, the only thing i got working with vorpx so far is ARMA 3 (and the image is too zoomed in for some reason) All the other games i have tried like skyrim, fallout NV, red orchestra 2, dont seem to activate vorpx. When the game starts i cant get the menu to come up by pressing delete. im using the rift DK2 in extended mode and launching them through steam while the DK2 is set to primary display, also the i set up the vorpx config to the same as the Dk2 guide PLEASE HELP Does anyone have these games working on a optimus laptop?

I posted this under unsupported games that still have 3d:
I got Dying Light to run with geometry 3D by changing the name to DXHRDC. The built in “beta” rift support was cool and all but worked only sort of good. Now you can adjust all the goodies vorpx lets you and now its in READABLE text thanks to vorpx. If you guys haven’t got this program yet and you have and play games on your DK2 this is a must have. WORTH EVERY PENNY. Any way yeah i messed with the vignette scale and image zoom and some other stuff but it works great. Tried UDK and it hooked but no geo and I used arma 2 but no luck. But DXHRDC works great. There mite be another that hooks even better but for now I’m going with DXHRDC. Oh and DO NOT HAVE THE DEFAULT RIFT SUPPORT AND TRY TO RUN WITH VORPX it will give double screen effect. Disable factory rift support if you have added it then hook with vorpx.
Note:
I use z-adaptive usually though, its just seems to be easier for my eyes. I suggest trying out different combos of increasing vignette scale and decreasing image zoom as well as the reverse of decreasing vignette scale and increasing image zoom until it feels right. I also turn down head tracking to around 60% and in the game settings i set the mouse to about half to a little less then half.
Controller support:
If you want to use a game pad ( I usually do) Go into vorpex settings in game (Del) then go to handle game-pad internally, you want it to be yes but if its yes when you start up the controller wont work. So each time you start the game go into vorpx (del) and flick it from on to off then back on and the controller will work. There are some things that get weird with controller support right now like this but hey it works.
Try:
-open steam but don’t attempt to run the game from steam
-instead, browse to the folder where the game exe file is on your hard disk
-try starting the game from there
-if it fails, try 2 or 3 times
Works for me with arma 2 and 3 (steam games)
Howdy,
Add another one! I got Dying Light to run with geometry 3D by changing the name to DXHRDC. The built in “beta” rift support was cool and all but worked only sort of good.

teach me exactly how to do this tried renaming it to that and steam wouldnt find the executable.

Or independent head movement, like in Arma, HL2VR + episodes 1 & 2, any others?
I’m trying to use Vorpx on the DK2 with BattleEye, Vorpx sees Arma2OA.exe running, but doesn’t spot Arma2OA_BE.exe (which then seems to run Arma2OA.exe) which is needed for most Dayz servers.
Has anyone got this running, or is there a way to force Vorpx to see this?
Hello,
I’m new to Rift DK2 and how to drive it
so far I did not encounter any Vorpx problem with these games:
Mirror’s Edge
Call Of Prypiat
Dishonored
Arma series
Metro Redux
Outlast
Thief2014
while (settings to default and monitor to Dk2):
– Mass Effect 3 won’t activate the DK2
– Portal 2 crashes to desktop as soon as it reaches the main interface, – although activating the DK2
– Skyrim won’t activate the Dk2 and crashes to desktop
I’ve tried to follow the troubleshooting section suggestions, with no results
any hints?
thanks
Saw today that vorpx got updated. In these 2-4 hours ive tried New vegas and it works perfect. Changed fov 120 and when i play i use default and when im going in the menu i just click mousescroll and i get the whole pic or i can look and the view goes to that section of the pic.
But the most epic…. Arma 3. To see inside chopper and look around when im flying and see everything in the right scale(lifelike) or when im shooting with a tank or sniping and everything just works. Extended and to start on monitor rift (while i have my screen as primary) and just start the game and press scroll så navigate menu and then scrollbutton when im inside the game..
Så fucking awesome guys. Ty for this update.
I just had a go of Arma 3 and I am very impressed with the Z-buffer 3d.
To change the field of view use notepad to open the file
Documents/Arma3/user.Arma3Profile
and set these two values
fovTop=1.5599999;
fovLeft=2.77;
The Z-buffer 3d seems very effective in Arma 3. But in other games e.g. Payday 2 the Z-buffer method doesn’t seem to do much, even when 3d separation is set to the maximum. Is there any way the 3d could be strengthened or is it just a limitation caused by the particular game?
Hi Jungs
Ich bekomms einfach nicht hin ARMA3 mit dem DK2 zu Zocken…
Mit Free Track und nem selbstgebautem Headtracker läufts richtig geil auf nen 3 Monitor Setup!
Wie siehts aus , kann man auf eine unterstützung für das DK2 rechnen?
Oder gibts eine Lösung die jetzt schon gut läuft!

Thanks for the tips, Ralf.
I reinstalled, and before running it, I immediately reinstalled the SDK 1.4.3 over the one included in Vorpx. And then I didn’t fiddle with the config other than to set it to only show on DK2.
It seems to be running fine now, and I have a fun test session playing the first few levels of mirrors edge. I think part of the earlier problem was that I’d set the config to clone screens, and something in Skyrim didn’t like it.
It’s not a perfect solution, but as a workaround for using DK2 on older games, I’m pretty impressed with the way it works.
I have one more question, and one suggestion.
First, does the head tracking only emulate mouse movement, or can it be used like trackir in games that support it eg. Arma and rFactor?
Also, I’m guessing that anyone with a DK2 buying this software probably already has the DK2 runtimes installed, and those without a DK2 don’t need it. I think the Vorpx installation probably doesn’t need to download and install them as well, especially if it’s not the current version. At least let it do a check for installed/newer versions. Just a suggetsion.
Hi all,
New user here. Has Vorpx been updated since September 12th? Just wondering if I can use this software with ARMA3 yet?
Thanks
