Search Results for 'Black The Fall'

[Ralf]

The Vive starts to show serious artifacts (black flicker) when the render thread falls below 45fps. Not a vorpX issue, that always happens below 45fps with OpenVR. This can be mitigated to some degree now with vorpX’s async timewarp working better, so it doesn’t happen that often. But not completely.

Hence the minimum requirement is higher on Vive than on the Rift. Valve might address that at some point, but I highly doubt it’s a priority for them (or even on their to-do-list) since Vive games are not supposed to fall below 45fps in the first place.

There will be warnings shown whenever that happens and detailed explanations in the help will describe what can be done.

I have tried everything. It simply does not work. I get a black screen but I can hear Fallout4 running. I wish this was more straightforward.

[Saunders]

I can not get VorpX to load anything. I was just get a black screen. Fully updated drivers, VorpX is latest version. Not sure what else to try…. I just purchased VorpX wanting to use it for Witcher 3 and Fallout 4.

Now I see Oculus Home… when i launch a game, I get the screen for loading, then the game launches on my desktop and Vorpx just crashes. When I mouse over the VorpX icon it disappears.

ok got a few games to run, eg skyrim, batman, fallout 4, however I never get rid of that “Please waiting” screen which launches as soon as I start vorpx. I launch the games over top of that screen and they seem to work however upon exiting the game the dk2 screen goes black and hangs. I have to exit vorpx and then the oculus store/library comes back on the dk2. Something is not happy there!

Also still no luck with vorpx desktop.

I have reinstalled, rebooted, reinstalled again. Still no luck. I am hesitant to do a full uninstall first since I am afraid that might erase my license key. Anyway it works this way; sort of. The “please wait” and hangup still seems to be there but If I ignore them the few games I have tried, do work. (GTA still doesn’t work but that may be the GTA VR mod not ready for 1.3 sdk)

(Windows 10, DK2, SDK 1.3, NVidia 364.51 driver, gtx980ti )

Okay, I enjoyed G3D games with VorpX alot, so I look at Unreal 3 Engine FPS, which are not supported yet and try them with renamed game exe. Here are my results and begging to Ralf to make them supported because of problems with steam and FOV, when renaming.
My FOV recommendations with them: The official recommendation is 120 FOV at 1920×1080 Pixel 1:1 Distance Zoom 1.00
With that settings you have mostly a good perspective, but massive overhead to the sides and blurry image, because you can see only a third of the picture. So I try to “calibrate” it with 90 FOV and 1600×1200 / 4:3 resolution.
90 FOV: Distance Zoom 0.56
or
95 FOV: Distance Zoom 0.60
This looks the same than 120 FOV at 1.00 Zoom, but without overhead and a much clearer graphic (more ppi).
Renaming: There are a couple of UE3 Profiles with different features. I tested with BorderlandsPreSequel.exe and ADVGame-Win32-Shipping.exe (Deadfall)
Both offer positional headtracking.

Now the games:

Bulletstorm (ShippingPC-StormGame.exe)

Ingame graphic settings I set shadows and Post Processing to low.
Resolution to 1920×1080 (4:3 gives black bars)
To set FOV use this Tool, because of crypted inis:
http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/download/580-bulletstorm-ini-editor/
to edit the ini’s:
FOV
1. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Bulletstorm\StormGame\Config\ StormCamera.ini
2. Change to the desired FOV.

Framerate
1. Edit %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Bulletstorm\StormGame\Config\StormEngine.ini
2. Change MaxSmoothedFrameRate to a higher cap; alternately, remove the frame rate cap entirely by setting bSmoothFrameRate to false.

Mouse Smoothing (for proper Headtracking)
1. Edit %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Bulletstorm\StormGame\Config\StormInput.ini
2. Find bEnableMouseSmoothing and to ‘false’ to disable mouse smoothing.

You also need to calibrate Headtracking manually per VorpX Menu: Fokus something in “real life” and slowly shake your head left and right and notice how it stays in your view. Then do the same ingame and edit the HeadTracking value.

My G3D rating: 8/10

very little lightning issues, some auto head movement when walking and fast gameplay makes it a little nauseous. Iron Sight you need to aim between the dots, its playable. Great 3D-Effekt.

Nearly the same settings with Bulletstorm ini editor with:
Alien Rage Unlimited (ShippingPC-AFEARGame.exe)

This game has some strange light sources in G3D, so I only recommend Z3D.

Homefront (HOMEFRONT.exe)

The FOV settings ingame only works for Multiplayer, not the Campaign (only in first mission). There is a Homefront FOV Changer: http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/download/487-homefront-fov-changer/
But that only works with the HOMEFRONT.exe, so we need a profile for that.

G3D, positional-tracking works (turn of DX11 ingame, restart), but many issues especially with shadows. So turn down shadows ingame, Post Processing and turn off frame limit and mouse smoothing in the game menus. Weapon sights are good playable with red dot weapons. Easier for the eye with Z3D.

My G3D rating 6/10. Too many graphical problems with g3d, but playable. +1 with the FOV changer.

Medal of Honor (2010) (moh.exe)

The Campaign is UE3 Engine, so works great (Multiplayer is Frostbite). Documents\EA Games\Medal of Honor\Config\MOHAEngine.ini
bSmoothFrameRate=false
MOHAInput.ini
bEnableMouseSmoothing=false
The G3D looks amazing with very little lightning issues, but overall nearly perfect, but…
The FOV is 55. Again there is a FOV-Changer for the original.exe:
http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/download/389-medal-of-honor-2010-fov-changer/
So… VorpX specific profile needed.
G3D rating: 9.5/10 possible if getting FOV to a playable view

Santum 2 (SanctumGame-Win32-Shipping.exe)

Wow, that was a surprise. It’s a steam only game, so you can’t rename it so easily, but after I get it to work with the Deadfall profile (ADVGame-Win32-Shipping.exe), the game works flawlessly in G3D, with all graphic options maxed out, even shadows and lightning stuff and keeps a clean graphical image. Even FOV adjustable in the menus. Easy setup, looks great, very nice to play in VR.
\Documents\My Games\Sanctum2\SanctumGame\Config
SanctumEngine.ini
bSmoothFrameRate=false
SanctumInput.ini
bEnableMouseSmoothing=false

G3D-rating 10/10

Singularity (Singularity.exe)

Looks amazing in G3D, but yeah, bad FOV…
Needs Flawless Widescreen or Widescreen Fixer Tool to fix FOV. So not with renamed exe.
G3D-rating 10/10 (with better FOV)

Section 8 Prejudice (S9-Win32-F.exe)

Untested, because it has a launcher and can’t rename the game.exe
FOV settings per ini:
http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Section_8:_Prejudice#Field_of_view_.28FOV.29
bSmoothFrameRate & bEnableMouseSmoothing like usual.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (R6Vegas2_Game.exe)

Very narrow FOV and not changeable, enjoyable in a cinema view setting. Now the UE3 Engine begins to look old and outdated
Maybe it helps to fiddle around with Widescreen Fixer:
https://www.widescreenfixer.org/
Very good G3D Effekt.

@Ralf: All the above called exe just need a copy/paste UE3-profile.

How the heck do you get medal of honor to work it just fails to start in steam when i rename it. I’m getting so sick and tired of this bs

[Sticklet]

This has been a bit frustrating.

I’ve only recently gotten VorpX to update and I’ve updated to 0.8 Runtime (the lack of extended desktop mode annoys me), but to the point. No games work.

The one’s I have tried specifically are GTA V and Fallout 4. But even games like Space Engineers doesn’t work, I get a black screen, headtracking light and the sounds of the menu in the background. GTA V and Fallout 4 crash immediately upon opening.

I verified my GTA V game files to have all of my OpenIV mods removed and still to no avail.

Here are things I’ve tried:

Reinstalling Oculus Runtime
Reinstalling VorpX
Verifying game cache
Removing ALL mods/ENB/ReShade/SweetFX files
Disabling AV/Uninstalling AV
Restarting PC after every update
Making sure Windows Update is up to date
Running the bare minimum processes – no media player, Chrome etc. basically just background tasks, the game, oculusconfig and VorpX

Sometimes game’s do start up and I’ll get to the intro, where it’ll be sound for about 3 seconds, then it crashes and says it’s stopped responding. That’s it.

If anyone has had similar problems and knows the workaround I would love to hear it, because I’m sitting on a $600 paperweight at this point.

Hi,
have you tried to disable ambient occlusion in the nvidia control panel, this fixed black flicker in games like skyrim for me and also doubled my fps in games, when using vorpx.

This worked for Fallout 4 – thank you.

[molony_j]

Works great! But you probably don’t want to play a long set of deathmatches in it. Like waking up with bed spins with DK2. Too much spinning, jumping and falling I guess. Gonna go throw up now. ;-)

[bdiepeveen]

I’m having similair issue’s but only with a few games,
These games work for me :
Fallout New Vegas
FarCry 3 & Blood Dragon
Mirrors Edge(but not steam version)
Garry’s Mod
DayZ
Stalker Call of Pripyat(but shows a blackscreen can hear sounds tough)
Battlefield 3
Crysis 3
F.E.A.R – wich launches with vorpx but runs on my normal screen not the rift even tough the rift is primary display.

Games that do not seem to trigger vorpx:
Bioshock Infinite – the game launches but is not running via vorpx
F.E.A.R 2 – Crashes at startup but briefly triggers vorpx.
