Bioshock original CRASHES only with vorpx

[rogerty]

Good morning.

I need help with bioshock original version: in Windows 11 works ok, but with vorpx (v23 or the actual v24.1.0) the game crashes (closes itself, or the screen freezes with an image or blank screen):

– When loading the saved game the screen freezes until I press ctrl alt supr: this, sometimes fixes the issue, but many others closes the game.

– when loading a game most of the time closes the game, sometimes not.

– after saving a game it crashes sometimes.

All this does not happen without vorpx.

I have tried different modes (full vr, cinema, etc.), with controller, with keyboard, using virtual desktop and vdxr, using oculus link, using steamvr, with or without head tracking… same result in all the cases.

Does vorpx gives official support ? I can offer any log and ini data as requested, thanks.

By the way, I am using an AMD Radeon Rx6700XT 12 GB and the Quest 2

Please… HELP ! (Like the Beatles album)
Regards !

Bioshock Infinite (especially Burial at Sea Episode 2) and Bioshock 1 original (I guess Bioshock 2 original is even better) if you have an old graphic card.

Metro 2033/Last Light, etc. are awesome (Metro Exodus is the most beautiful game you could do I think). But a good graphic card is needed.

All Bioshock and Metro have G3D (even if raytracing without G3D can be a good option too in Metro Exodus).

Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t the best because even with an RTX4090, it’s not enough.

Elden Ring, Death Stranding, Guardian of the galaxy are really better in VorpX (even if it’s not full VR).
Redfall too. Deathloop is Ok (especially the end).

I guess games like Farcry Primal, Dishonored, Prey 2017, etc. must be really good (I think they have G3D but I didn’t try them yet).

Dying Light 1 of course.

First person game that allow you to have high 4:3 resolution (3480×2880 or at least 2880×2160) and 120 FOV are like native games in VorpX (with G3D, or at least Z3D but It’s not so important to me and even without 3D at all, some games are awesome in full VR).

Any game with good looking graphics, heights/vertigo or giant environment/ennemies are usually great in VorpX.

@Ralph :
thank you for your detailed explanations.
Let’s hope future VR headsets won’t use SteamVR’s OpenXR.

So one thing I have to figure out :
– does Varjo always use SteamVR’s OpenXR when it’s told to use OpenXR ?
– or is it a problem I created on my PC ?

When I was trying to reuse Reverb G2, I did a few things. I uninstalled OpenXR. Maybe I don’t have the right version.

In Windows (11) installed “Applications” list, I have “OpenXR for Windows Mixed Reality”.
But I think I had “OpenXR” instead at the beginning (after installing Varjo Base, I don’t know before because I didn’t checked recently).

Maybe I should look a way to reinstall a working version of OpenXR, but I don’t know how to.
For now, Varjo support did not answered to me.

@dellrifter22 :
thank you for these informations !

Can you tell us what do you have in installed “Applications” list in Windows concerning OpenXR ?

I have the OpenXR error on Bioshock. But with SteamVR VorpX option it sometimes freeze, wich it never does with Reverb G2 OpenXR (so with recent games I don’t think it would works very well, and it doesn’t seems to with Metro serie).
Did you try Metro Exodus ? I didn’t try much games with Varjo for now.

Wich games would you recommand me to try, that you know it works with OpenXR ?

Fallout 4 VR with Gingas VR mod and Wabbajack was extremely easy to install. It took time to set up but looked fantastic. You just follow the guide and video to the letter and it works. I played it a couple of year ago. You need the regular Fallout 4 and the DLCs to get it to work. I think there has been a few recent upgrades to the mods and added into wabbajack so it should be even better.
I find standing much more immersive, though I loved games like bioshock series and metro series using Vorpx and an Xbox controller sitting downs so I can imagine using Fallout 4 and Vorpx will be pretty neat as well, especially with graphics mods.

Happens with both Quest 2 and Rift S. Any idea what could this be? Tried two games so far. Amnesia Machine for Pigs and original Bioshock.

Something to note, I can pull up the VorpX menu in the headset over the frozen image when that happens. Can even do the 3D scan but that does nothing to fix it.

Thanks I will give that a go later, Sylvan. The weird thing about B2 Remastered so far is that lowering everything both in-game and in Vorpx settings doesn’t seem to affect it at all, and my GPU/CPU aren’t really struggling whatsoever (they are low green in FPSVR). It’s like the game just decided to be 30-60 fps no matter what. Playing it in Z-normal puts it at a good 90fps right away, which is the same fps as I have set in Virtual Desktop. It’s a shame original B2 crashes because that one works perfectly before doing so.

I’ve had some more luck with Bioshock Infinite though. Seems to be working well enough, apart from some occasional stutters and the text being so small that I can barely make it out. Will have to test it some more though.

If you are currently using the regular vorpX, try the beta. I recently took another stab at this completely unexplicable Bioshock 2 crash issue, but couldn’t replicate it anymore here. I’m still unsure whether it really is gone, since I didn’t change anything spcifically to address it, so I might just have gotten lucky, but it’s worth a shot. Maybe it’s really gone this time.

As far as the remaster is concerned, you should easily be able to run it at 90fps. While the Bioshock remasters technically are fairly bad DX9>DX11 ports with an insane amount of unnecessary overhead caused by replicating DX9 behavior with DX11 instead of rewriting the game renderer in ‘true’ DX11 fashion, on your rig that shouldn’t be an issue.

Not much to recommend here except checking for tools that might interfere by also hooking into games.

[Disco Machine]

Update: Tried using Bioshock 2 original instead of Remastered (since this is advised anyway) and while the framerate is a proper 120fps here and everything is looking great, the game always crashes within a minute or so of starting a new game or entering the game world(it doesn’t crash while in main menu). The 3rd DirectVR scan (rotational) seems to be taking longer than on other games and making some strange in-game noises while doing so, but otherwise that works. There is no error message, just straight CTD.

Seems this is a DX9/Geometry3D issue since I can play it fine with DX10 in z-adaptive mode. I tried just about any crash fix I could find like allocating more memory to texture streaming, as well as giving both VD and Airlink a go, but no luck… Can anyone else get this game to work with Geo3D in Vorpx?

[Disco Machine]

Hey I was surprised and delighted to find the Bioshock profiles back on Vorpx so I wanted to try Bioshock 2 Remastered today.

Everything is working well except the game is rather jittery/low fps. On my virtual desktop and FPSVR displays I have 120fps but on monitor it shows only about 30-50 fps, and that’s what it feels like in-game in the headset too. Jittery movement especially when turning around.

And I can’t see why, when my PC is a 4080/i7-13700f that runs the flatscreen version at 500ish fps – this should be a cakewalk! Maybe I’m just doing some rookie mistake here? Any advice would be welcome!

[Boblekobold]

If I launch enhanced edition after setting DirectX11 in Metro graphics menu, it use the official profile, and G3D works, but I can’t access VorpX menu (it’s the first time I encounter that).

If I launch the old version of Metro Exodus as you suggest, I will have the menu ?
I never use DirectVR. Don’t know exactly how it works but the first game I tried was Bioshock Infinite, and DirectVR didn’t give me good results. By adjusting resolution, FOV, ini files, etc. I managed to have native-like VR experience (I noticed no difference with Subnautica Below Zero native), but It took me a while to understand.

But after the first game, you understand you juste have to set high 4:3 resolution, image Zoom at the border of your FOV, game FOV at very large, Clarity FX, 3D parameters if possible, HUD if possible, head tracking speed if needed, and you get a very good experience in every game that allow you to modify these parameters.

VorpX has a mixed reputation, but it’s probably the best program i ever bought. Bioshock serie was incredible with it.

Metro Exodus is in my opinion one the best looking game (Moscou and Volga levels), so I would like to do it with Raytracing (my first try is already impressive in 4k with ultra graphics). But I’ll try both (because it’s true that G3D can be very impressive).

Metro let you choose FOV in ini file and HUD is minimalist so I just have the problem with resolution and Image Zoom (zoom is generaly too high for my headset in every game).

No. For dx12 , the games run only in zadaptive and znormal. But for me or g3d work great , same bioshock , or are too better play in zadaptive!

[Ender772]

So i couldnt find borderlands 2 or bioshock profiles to play in vr. Saw no profiles, went looking for profiles and realized they were deleted. So i started playing in cinema mode..full vr not being an option…at first. But after about 5 minutes of playing each game, the full vr option did become available…is vorpx super smart, able to detect now? or did it just find the profiles somehow after all?

[dlee]

Look up the list of FullVR games. It should be around the forum somewhere and it’s also available within Vorpx.

My favs are probably Dishonored, Bioshock Infinite and Dark Messiah. Dishonored has some problems though unfortunately.
