Hello everyone,
I’m trying to use custom resolutions that exceed my monitor’s 1080p to be able to fully enjoy the 2448×2448 resolution of my HTC VIVE Pro 2. However, whenever I set a resolution that is higher than 1080p, like 2560×1440, the game starts stuttering massively and becomes absolutely unplayable OR nothing changes (definition doesn’t increase nor FPS decrease).
I have even struggled setting aspect ratios that are not officially supported by the game, even if below 1080p.
I tried applying the custom resolution to my PC’s main monitor before appliying it in game, but the results are the exact same.
The interesting fact is that without vorpX they actually work just fine, it’s only when I launch the game in my headset that I get the massive stuttering (only inside the headset) or no effect at all.
Games I tested:
– Forza Horizon 4 / 5: Massive stutters all the time (head tracking extremely laggy, which happens in 1080p as well to a lesser extent)
– Rocket League: Massive stutters when lots of things are moving on the screen
– Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands (same engine as Borderlands 3): nothing changes, can only change from 16:9 to 16:10 applying custom resolution to my monitor prior change in game
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Heon_X
Long story shot, some big editor contacted VR modders to make their franchises unplayable in VR.
So now, the franchises GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Borderlands and Bioshock are unplayable in any popular VR mod, not just VorpX.
Could be more franchises, i dont know the full list.
if this is real is a very bad news,
i don’t understand, i played borderlands on vorpx and so there is no profile anymore? And so no profile for borderlands 3 as well?
My (local) list looks the same as the “Supported Games” on this site.
Battlefield 3
Battlefield 4
Battlefield: Hardline
Battlefield V
Batman: Arkham Knight
Bayonetta
Black Mesa Source
Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons
Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
Borderlands 2 or any other borderlands games do not show. Is this the same for anyone else?
I just reinstalled VorpX after not using it for about a year and now I can’t find any profiles for Borderlands 2. I know it had it before, but now I can’t find a single one. I really wanted to try this one again as I’m on a Borderland kick.
I’ve also, tried Unreal Engine 3 as a work around, but It just says, “This game is not supported”
Hi, I have just purchased vorpx to play the Bioshock series and Borderlands 3 but cannot find any local or cloud profiles. I’m I missing something?
Works fine (with some shader issues, very minor) with Borderlands 3 profile and PD’s custom profile :-)
Tested today
So first, Bioshock Infinite can now be set up to high sharpness without crashing. I really couldn’t notice any big difference since the game was already pretty sharp, but it looked smoother performance wise, i don’t know if that makes any sense, nothing could make it stutter, playing with geo3d, ultra resolution in config settings and ultra quality in game options with 2080ti. Where I did notice the big improvement in sharpness was when in DLC 2 you go back to Columbia, I played the main game before the FSR sharpness update and it’s quite clear how much better it looks in comparison, but also performs a lot better, no matter that the scene was pretty packed, it was really smooth.
Also Borderlands 3 now works great, I reset the profile to factory default and FOV was fine without touching anything, also after DirectVR scan the tracking is top notch, perfectly smooth. I tried geo3d and it was playable, but I simply prefer higher res with z3d, setting resolution to ultra, sharpness to high and the game was perfectly smooth and looked great, really what a difference DirectVR tracking makes, the only issue is that it can take several tries until it succeeds.
So great work, thanks for the update Ralf!
Yayyy, i’ll give Borderlands 3 a try asap!!

that’s AWESOME! I’m a big fan of Borderlands but I hadn’t tried Borderlands 3 since I wanted to play it VR but it was expensive. Now after reading this I’ve used the 10 euro coupon of EGS with Borderlands 3 and got it for 9,79 euro, really sweet for a game that can easily give you 30-40 hours of gameplay with the base game alone.
I can’t thank you enough Ralf, this kind of product support is incredible, no matter if any of those improvements get into the game, for you to even check it out and see if it can be improved is great.
Even if DirectVR doesn’t end making it into the profile, it was still good enough as it was so I will play it anyway in VR, however I really hope you can make DirectVR and FOV work. The thing is that after testing B3, when I go back to Bioshock Infinite DLC and play with perfectly smooth VR, no shaky cam effect, how easy is to forget how amazing DirectVR is.
For anyone interested the game is free to try this weekend on Steam, I checked it out and it hooked fine. Set it up to max res on Vorpx, FSR works at high and overall the game looks great, performance is not too good in geo3d as expected, but quite playable in z3d, slowly i’m starting to get used to z3d, it’s pretty solid and performance is just on another level, even though nothing beats geo3d for real depth and scale.
The only “bad” thing is that I’m completely spoiled with direcVR tracking, and since afaik Borderlands 3 doesn’t support it, there’s always some short of small shaky cam effect and no amount of mouse sensitivy tweaking seems to fix it. It’s playable but DirectVR tracking is just too good.
I had to use Letterbox 1 since it was too zoomed in for my liking even after setting FOV to max as suggested by the profile, and with letterbox 1 it’s basically perfect.
There’s an interesting tool called Unreal 4 engine unlocker that lets you access the console and set FOV by injecting the dll to the game: https://framedsc.github.io/GeneralGuides/universal_ue4_consoleunlocker.htm I gave it a try but didn’t work too well with Vorpx when activated, maybe someone will have better luck.
Overall pretty good, but since Borderlands 2 got a VR version, i thill i’ll hold since maybe PSVR2 for PS5 could get a B3 VR version, we’ll see.
Well, at this point I feel like a total idiot. My initial assessment was correct – it was the Oculus Client messing things up, not Vorpx. I realized this after the problem occurred again last night and I tried to repair it with the game console, which failed miserably because it was already gamepad-enabled.
For some reason the Oculus client was hiding the controller and sending keystrokes and mouse inputs (sounds a bit far-fetched on the keystrokes, but I opened up the console, moved the left stick around, and saw it fill up with WASD’s). I checked some other games (Bioshock Infinite for example) and they also had the same problem, while other’s didn’t (Borderlands 3 and Witcher 3). Even some native VR apps had this problem, whereas Virtual Desktop was unscathed.
Anyway, I had to re-install the Oculus software 3 times and re-pair the controller a gazillion times before it took, so I’ll be getting a new hmd soon. If you’ve got any recommendations for anything that doesn’t have Oculus or Facebook written on it…
So…I was really having fun in Skyrim – I’d lost interest in the game before Vorpx, but now I’m back at it again. Vorpx was what I got my headset for, I just didn’t realize it at the time, so thank you very much (I found that with few exceptions that native VR games are {expletive deleted}, IMO).

i use vorpx since i got my htc vive in 2016 and while i’m listing just a few here, i probably played hundred of games with vorpx either in G3D or Z3D and needless to say so far is has been an amazing experience, not always plug and play for unsupported games, and sometimes you may want to tweak game settings even for supported games if your hardware support it, it’s great !
to the op, you wont have graphics quality just like you have on regular screen, the purpose of Vorpx is IMMERSION.
even on my old hardware gtx 1080, 5820k and htc vive, i had a lot of fun using vorpx, obviously, some fullVR demanding games had low performance in G3D example is dishonor 1 but Vorpx motion smoothing works quiet well, so i had a blast.
now i upgraded to valve index and more recent hardware and i’m stunned by the graphics quality while using vorpx, atm i’m playing borderlands 3 and it looks real good and i’m using 1920*1440 res and ultra settings in fullVr with fov 125 (with unreal engine unlocker which i highly recommand for the UE4 supported games).
the most important thing for vorpx is how powerful your computer is, the better it is the better your vorpx experience will be.
and vorpx is light years ahead of any others 3D software including that reshade 3Ddepth, because of headtracking, directVR, full VR, G3D, Z3D, flexibility of the software, the ability to create custom users profiles for new games (when it works) in a easy way, highly tweakable settings for all modes (fullVR, cinematic mode, immersive mod).
