For what this software does, it’s really cheap. Just make sure you have a good resolution HMD, because many of those PC games have detailed graphics (especially outdoors) and they don’t work nice with a low resolution.

After trying out Crysis, i realized that the SDE is killing my immersion, and returned the Rift S. Now i have an HP Reverb on order. Mainly for VorpX use – yes, that’s how good VorpX is. :)

If you are new to vorpX, you probably want to hop right into the action instead of learning how to configure vorpX. The list below contains first person games that work with litlle to no configuration in ‘Full VR’ due to vorpX’s DirectVR functionality, which can configure important things like field of view, head tracking or resolution automatically.

For third person games that are usually played best in immersive screen or cinema mode not much configuration is required in general, so this list focuses on first person ‘Full VR’ games that can be a little harder to configure without DirectVR.

If you are stuck, make sure to check the ‘Essential Hints Guide’ and the ‘Quick Reference’ in the help. They help you understand a few basic concepts.

vorpX 18.3.1 has been released. This is a maintenance release that mainly adds support for Fallout 76. The profile is a fully featured DirectVR profile with everything DirectVR can do in the best case including automatic resolution, FOV (two methods) and basic roomscale.

Additionally minor issues with the program itself and other profiles have been fixed.

In case anyone wonders: the Frostbite engine G3D support that sparked a bit of interest recently is still in development and will be made available with the next larger update 19.1.0 before the end of the year.

New profiles:

• Fallout 76: G3D/Z3D, full VR, DirectVR: head tracking, resolution, FOV, tweaks

Changes/Fixes

• Effects that look bad in VR (e.g. DOF blur) can also be disabled with Z3D.
• DirectVR scanner could time out with large scans in low memory situations.
• DirectVR menu page didn’t behave correctly if both memory scan FOV and .ini edit FOV are available.
• FOV scan was run despite .ini edit FOV being selected if both are available.
• Fixed an occasional G3D crash in Fallout 76 (and maybe other DX11 games).
• Arma III: DirectVR FOV was slightly too high.
• The Witcher 3: some objects were rendered at wrong depth.
• Crysis 3: reflections fixed, effect fixes.
• Fallout 4: minor gun decals and fire glitches fixed.

‘Official’ tip: Quake 3, map: q3dm17. You probably won’t get more non-stop action anywhere (iron stomach highly recommended).

Crysis and Crysis 3 probably also fall in the non-stop action category. Crysis 3 will get a few fx fixes shortly, so worth to wait a few days. The Metro games might also fit, although I’m not 100% sure whether these really are pure shooters, never played far enough. Far better than its reputation is Aliens: Colonial Marines, absolutely worth a look.

If third person games in immersive screen mode also sound interesting, Vanquish and Bayonetta might be something. Maybe also Psychonauts.

Ralf, everything is awesome, runs perfect. I was just wanting to test something. The official profile for Prey (2017) only does z-normal and z-adaptive. The engine is CryEngine 4. I saw elsewhere on the forums where someone used a CryEngine 3 profile for a CryEngine 4 game with G3D. I attempted to change the name of prey.exe in order to attempt using the Crysis 3 game profile, but it won’t run if I do that. I was hoping I could ask if you could test out whether the Crysis 3 profile would hook with Prey 2017 and whether it would interpret the 3D. I’ve been playing Prey 2017 and its awesome, but the Z3D is strange for some upclose textures. Whenever you have the time or ability, I’d appreciate it. I’m sure you’re busy.

[Ralf]

@ all (most): Thanks for the kind words.

@ moarveer: Bioshock Remastered is a rather odd case technically unfortunately due to the way they did the DX9>DX11 conversion. As soon as I have an idea to tackle this in a decent manner, the game will be added, but I can’t promise anything. Currently it’s too glitchy.

@ nieda: FYI: About 90% of official profiles have G3D now. For AC:Odyssey you would need a GTX4080Ti (sic!) for G3D, not even AC:Unity G3D runs exactly great on current hardware. Far Cry 5: anticheat prevents vorpX from hooking as discussed multiple times here.

@ dborosev: AC:Odyssey Z3D base parameters have been adjusted to look more realistic. In Origins elements nearby looked extremely large and then got too small too quickly in the distance. This is more balanced now. You can however play around with the near/far option like dellrifter suggested if you prefer something else.

@ dellrifter22: no changes to the way Image Zoom is used. Only remotely related change is that in immersive screen mode a higher FOV is set if vorpX can adjust it. But that only affects immersive screen mode and there it has the opposite effect of what you describe. I’ll double check to be extra sure.

@ OculusRiftRocks: native 3D means that the game has its own SBS stereo mode. What the vorpX profile does is automatically setting the game options to utilize it. You could do the same with Crysis 2/3, but those had indeed a depth buffer based approach. Crysis 3 with vorpX G3D is superior.

[OculusRiftRocks]

ah, can the same thing not be done with crysis 2/3 built in 3D, or was that built in 3D a cheap z-buffer.

vorpX 18.3.0 released

After four maintenance releases for the 18.2 branch it’s finally time for a slightly bigger release with a bit of feature refinement and also more and enhanced game profiles. Most notable additions are: Dark Souls Remastered, Monster Hunter World, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey.

Experienced users can now create much better custom profiles by defining HUD/shadow etc. shaders.

For details please check this blog post.

This functionality is part of the DirectVR settings optimizer for Crysis 3 and only applies to the actual Crysis 3 profile.

When you make a copy of that profile to try an unsupported game, the routines doing the image zoom/fov calculations aren’t invoked.

[Ralf]

It’s capped on purpose in Crysis 3, the game does not allow to set the camera field of view high enough for the screen to be fully used vertically while maintaining a correct FOV. The alternative would be a fully used screen with a too low FOV, resulting in image distortion. You would definitely not want that.

[daggey]

Hi so I am using crysis3 and the image zoom setting within the vorpx menu maxes out at 0.75 for some reason – so the image is quite small and there is significant unused black screen around the edge of the image. If it would zoom in to 1.0 or 1.1 it would be much more immersive/look much better. Is there any way to edit the config file to change the max value of the zoom or to otherwise change it to be able to zoom further than the profile seems to want to let it ? Thanks.

[Ralf]

Lichdom is not supported, so it’s perfectly normal that you don’t get 3D. Judging from what I found on the internet it seems to be based on CryEngine 3, so making a custom profile based on the Crysis 3 or the Kingdom Come Delieverance profile is worth a shot. There is no guarantee though that this will work.

If it works, you will get basic stereo 3D. FOV adjustment for FullVR mode would have to be done manually though.

Same for Vermintide 2. That one will be looked into before the next update though, I just can’t promise anything yet.

Some general info: vorpX doesn’t automatically provide stereo 3D for every game you throw at it. For stereo 3D and Direct VR functionality game specific profiles are required. Normally you should see a message in the headset whenever you open an unsupported game to avoid any potential confusion in this regard.

To check beforehand whether there is a profile for a game you want to try you can use the “Local Profiles” list in the config app or the supported games list.

Team Fortress 2 (and other Source engine games): there might be an issue with a recent SteamVR version causing this. I can’t say anything more specific yet, but the issue will be looked into before the next update.

What are you talking about?

The Crysis 3 profile is locked down to the Crysis3.exe. You can’t add KCD to that profile because VorpX won’t let you. So you have to rename the KCD.exe.

If you are talking about making a COPY of the Crysis 3 profile and using that, I already said I tried that and it didn’t work for me.

What’s to keep trying?

Like I already said, even when I got the Crysis 3 profile to work with KCD, ONLY the HUD was in 3D. Everything else was flat, with no depth at all.

[morbidexpression]

What’s to keep trying? Just use the Crysis 3 profile and don’t rename anything. Loads just fine and Geometry 3D works everywhere.

[haints]

Old post, I know, but I couldn’t get it working with cloned profile either. I renamed the game’s .exe to Crysis3 and that worked but only the HUD has 3D. Will keep trying.
