Hi Jim,

Thanks for responding. I get this error with Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite, Mirror’s Edge and Alien Isolation. I got the same missing dll error as well. The workaround isn’t that great because most of the time I’m not quick enough to resume the watcher in time for it to properly hook. The Steam games that still work are Skyrim, The Forest, Borderlands 2 and Fallout 4. Thanks for the info about the log. I’ll let you know if I figure anything out.

Peace \/

Did you run the Direct VR scanner after entering the actual gameworld to adjust field of view and head tracking?

Direct VR games (incl. Skyrim) are the ones that work best. Current games with Direct VR support are: Fallout 4, Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, Borderlands 2, Bishock (original), Bioshock 2 (original), Bioshock Infinite, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Black Mesa Source. More to come shortly.

For further Skyrim hints please check this recent Reddit thread:

First you should always be aware that vorpX applies VR functionality to games that were never meant to be played in VR. So depending on how you define 100%, either only a few may work without issues or most.

If you are searching for the games that work best, the ones with the new Direct VR feature, which provides automatic 1:1 head tracking and FOV adjustment, are clearly closest to a native experience. Others will require more tweaking. Currently this includes (more to come shortly):

Fallout 4, Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, Borderlands 2, Bishock (original), Bioshock 2 (original), Bioshock Infinite, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Black Mesa Source.

The 3D effect in Witcher 3 isn’t as pronounced as in native since it is applied after rendering the game. In contrast to that Life is Strange has full Geometry 3D, which works like native apps by rendering the scene twice.

You can play both games with the default settings, but if you want to make them more immersive, you will need to adjust settings. The one-click games that require no configuration for a fully immersive experience are the ones listed above with the new Direct VR feature: Fallout 4, Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, Borderlands 2, Bishock (original), Bioshock 2 (original), Bioshock Infinite, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Black Mesa Source.

You can also move the “screen” very close to you, so that it fully fills the view to enhance immersion.

You can have fun with with these two games and vorpX, but you should be aware that they don’t belong to the games where vorpX really shines.

The best games for vorpX, especially in regard to easy configuration, are the ones with the new Direct VR feature, currently that includes: Fallout 4, Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, Borderlands 2, Bishock (original), Bioshock 2 (original), Bioshock Infinite, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Black Mesa Source.

Thank you for your Reply again, Ralf, that’s very useful Information. Unfortunately the only games I find somewhat appealing are Skyrim and Fallout 4. But Fallout 4 will get a native VR-Support anyways (soon) and from what I’ve heard you have to reduce the graphical ‘fidelity’ to a medium Setting in Skyrim for it to become playable via vorpx in VR. And I can only Play the game with a ton of mods loaded so I am afraid it won’t be a pleasent experience playing it in VR (–> due to low fps), I guess.

Allow me two last questions:

1) What’s the difference between the 3D effect in Witcher 3 compared to a, say, native 3D effect. Yes, I get it, it’s not as significant as you’d expect but is it still, well, enjoyable enough to settle down with the low Resolution of the game (I know, it’s a very subjective question…)?

2) I suppose that I will have to work myself through the Settings of vorpx to make Witcher 3 work in VR, yes? So am I right in assuming that it won’t be something like: Load vorpx –> ‘bind’ it with witcher 3 –> push ‘Play in VR’-button in vorpx –> enjoy Witcher 3 in VR?

(note: I read some of your patch notes from the newest update of vorpx and the easy functionality you’ve just untroduced does not apply to Witcher, correct?)

I just tried the latest update(17.1.1) and in Bioshock I get no 3D effect. Even if I switch between Z-normal or Z-adaptive or none with or without Direct VR. I see no change and get a flat image. Direct VR does fix FOV and positional tracking though. I get the same results with Fallout 4. Skrim SE and Borderlands seem to work properly though. I have a 980ti and Windows 10.

[Ralf]

The DirectVR page in the menu is only shown if a game actually supports DirectVR.

Currently this true for these games: Fallout 4, Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, Borderlands 2, Bishock (original), Bioshock 2 (original), Bioshock Infinite, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Black Mesa Source.

Regarding lights and shadows.. I’ve played Alien Isolation with Nvidia 3Dvision. This game is not officially supported by Nvidia 3Dvision and have same problems with lights and shadows. But there is one tweak to fix it (HelixModAlien Isolation tweak). It makws Vorpx + HTC Vive “as is”..
Any thoughts? Also there are lots of fixes for many games from HelixMod including Borderlands 2… this game also has some shadow problems with VorpX…

[TenaciousJ]

These aren’t all FPS games, but are excellent picks:

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is AWESOME in VR if you’re into mystery adventures
Elite Dangerous if you like space exploration games
The Elder Scrolls Series – primarily Skyrim.
Fallout 4
The Batman Arkham Series
Metro 2033
Call of Duty Black Ops 1-3, Battlefield 3-4 and even Hardline, Any Splinter Cell or Crysis game
Alien Isolation
Quake I-III
Half Life 2
Portal
The Witcher 1 and 2 if you like extended campaign games that will suck all your time, not sure if Witcher III is manageable at acceptable graphics levels
Bioshock: Infinite
Borderlands
GTA IV and V
and to tickle your fear of heights check out Mirror’s Edge

Essentially if your computer can run it, and it’s built on a major game engine like Unreal, Unity, and quite a few others – it’ll play in VorpX. The less popular it is the more tweaking you’ll have to do though because it won’t have been done already by someone else. Once you get used to the Vorpx in game menu you’ll be able to get games to run. Whether you get a true stereoscopic experience depends on how the game was coded though.

I’m sure that’s clear as mud now.. lol. But hopefully there are a couple of games on there you can check out that are well established as compatible.

VorpX Supported Games

I noticed something else also. I cannot seem to create profiles under “Local Profiles”. When i click “Create now profile based on this one”, the dialogue pops up to name the new profile, but after that, the profile never pops up in the list. Also, the “Add” and “Remove” buttons for the .exe files in the existing profiles are greyed out.
If i “Reset profile to factory defaults” on any local profile, i get an error, saying if it keeps happening, i should reinstall Vorpx.
Having done that 4 times now, i dont think it helps.
Also, even when i run Vorpx Desktop Viewer, i get the “This game is not supported” dialogue box. I think something is wrong with the profiles and Vorpx is not detecting the .exe files. The “This game is not supported” box shows up in everything i run.
I have looked in my documents and settings folder and there is a Vorpx folder with all the settings and profile info, so i have no idea what is going on.

Note: If i look in my Vorpx.ini file, the:

sOculusProfile=

is empty. I dont know if this could be the problem.

I looked in the vorpx.log after running Borderlands Presequel and Fallout 4 and both says settings not available.

If you are using a Vive, you need to make sure that games run at 45fps+ at all times. The OpenVR runtime does not work well with frame rates below that. You should see a warning about this normally. The Oculus runtime is quite a bit better at this.

All you need to do for full VR mode is disabling Virtual Cinema Mode (shouldn’t be on per default for Borderlands 2) and (important!) set the field of view (FOV) to 120°, which in case of BL2 can be done with the vorpX Game Optimizer in the config app. With the FOV set to 120 you do not need to change the image zoom.

If that is the case you are “inside” the game and can look around just like with native VR apps.

Hey Ralf. Thanks for your quick reply. This is an amazing support.

FPS/Flickering: You are right, I’ve got this fps warning with the vive, ignored it – my fault. Will check that later with lower settings.

VR: The problem is, I can’t see the HUD, so I have to zoom out to play well. When I zoom out, I see the same “flat screen” like in the cinema-mode. I am not in the middle any more.
yeah, maybe I’m too nobish with this tool, but would like to understand it :-).
I used the optimizer, it’s a FOV of 120. Any Chance to get the HUD more in the middle without zoom out?

[Nitro]

I tried different settings on Borderlands 2.

First of all: Geometry-Mode is flickering, can’t play with that option

And second: I can’t see any option for “real VR”. I was thinking, that with Ego-Games like BL2 VorpX works like a real VR Game.?? Instead beeing in the middle of the action, I am still sitting for a large Wall with Stereo3d popups. (when I reduce the image Zoom, the wall appears in front of me like in “Theater-Mode”.
In Real VR i would expect, that the sorrounding will still be 3D-Graphics when I change the FOV or something. It’s not. Where is my mistake?

[Ralf]

Do not tweak too much. While there are many options available, the only two things that absolutely must be addressed are field of view (FOV) to get a natural image and head tracking sensitivity for proper 1:1 tracking.

Popular games that are usually considered working well are for example: Bioshock Infinite, Skyrim, Fallout 4 (G3D probably too slow on most PCs though), Borderlands 1 + 2, Portal 2.

In general you should be able to get almost any first person game working to a satisfactory level by adjusting FOV and head tracking sensitivity.

The vorpX help also has a short guide describing a quick and dirty setup that works with almost everything very quick (“The 1-2-3 Game Setup”). It usually doesn’t provide the best possible result, but gets everything to a playable state.
