Search Results for 'Dark'

[dborosev]

I’ve never fully finished skyrim, but I’ve started it exactly 8 times, and have about 400 hours in it. This time I’m determined to see it through. And its just so gorgeous now, I think I will.
Plus all the sneaking, rope climbing, back stabbing, extra dark mods I’ve installed make it oh so suspenseful.

Hi Ralf,

There is a profile for Sekiro which is optimised for Third person play

Its in immersive screen etc.

Dark Souls 3 (which I believe is the same engine) also has a profile designed this way.

Now,

Both games have a first person mod, via, cheat engine.

Dark souls 3 can be put into full vr mode and tweaked. The results are great. Fantastic scale, great geometry 3d and positional tracking.

Unfortunately I have run into a problem with Sekiro,

I had assumed it would behave just like dark souls 3…..and for the most part it does.

Bit the lighting/shadows glitch like a S.O.B when positional tracking is enabled.

Is there anything that can be done (like in Dark Souls 3) to fix that issue?

Many thanks in advance

@Tyirel Wood

Try Borderlands 3, Conan exile, Darksiders 3, Halo master chief collection ,Remnant and Star Wars Jedi Fallon Order.

To the best of my knowledge all the games above are Unreal 4 engine which is the same as Sea of Thieves.

KURSK (steam version) (G3D)

I grabbed this on sale for super cheap and though it looked interesting. It’s a lot of back and forth, but kind of fun to explore the old submarine. G3D is good with no real issues, although performance is quite poor, so maybe don’t expect a smooth headtracking experience if you plan to keep a respectable resolution.

Load times between each sealed door can be annoying at times, so perhaps installing on an SSD might help some. Enjoy

– use a 16:9 resolution (1920×1080) in windowed mode, otherwise HUD may not scale correctly, which is important for reading subtitles
– set FOV to max 80 in game options
– use Low graphics settings, with High textures and TAA On
– turn Off motion blur

*Graphics settings seem not to save after you quit, so you may need to reset them and FOV each time you launch the game
*Switch to Z3D when using PDA/computers for better readability
*Set G3D Shadow treatment to OFF if you prefer the darker clean look without global illumination
*Tested on HP Reverb with mouse and keyboard, steam version only.

Thanks RJK for this profile, I finally got around to playing COD2 with it.

I’ve made some slight adjustments to better suit a more dark and gritty feel, and put this option on the cloud for others that may like it this way. It requires the same reshade fix RJK lists above, an FOV 105 config edit, and should be used with 2560×1440.

Either type this into the game console, or add it to the config.cfg file found in the game directory Players folder.

bind Q “cg_fov 105”

Now press Q at the start of each mission to reset the correct FOV.

Ok, i need to correct something, SBS only works with DirectX 11 Games,
i forgot that i tested the Direct X9 Game: The Darkness 2 via Tridef 3D and i thought it was the 3DFixmanager.. my fault..

But yeah for Quantum Break and Metal Gear Solid, it works when you set
3D display type to: 3D Vision Discover for VR
and preferred 3D format to: Side by Side

Im looking further for a SBS Trick for DX9 Games.
But i would recommend for some unsupported DX9 Games, that Tridef3D is a good solution at the moment, of course in Cinema Mode only, or with an FOV Fix and in Full VR Mode to get an “almost Full VR Mode with Headtracking without positional Tracking”.

For me, Vorpx is already the best Software for VR and you dont need much more.
I use Nvidia 3D Vision just for Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain.
For Quantum Break, Tridef 3D with an generic Profile does a very great Job and looks like Geometry 3D.
And of course, with TriDef 3D you can get the most games (DX9 also) work in SBS.

It would be so great if it would be possible to convert the NVidia 3D Vision Metal Gear Profile to Vorpx.

Hi,

when you have installed the fixmanager, then you also need to start any compatible game via the fixmanager.
The manager will detect your installed Games and you will find then the list in the left section.
When you choose one game, there are 3 Options then : “Play 2D” “Play 3D” “Install 3D Fix”
Make sure that 3D is activated in the right corner above.
It will also automaticaly enable if its not activated.
The fixmanager installs an “modified custom 3D Nvidia Vision driver, this is why everything will be controlled by the fix manager.

So it will only start in 3D Mode, when you start a game via the Fixmanager.

Also i recommend to download the “RivaTuner Statistics Server” for accessing all features of 3D Fix Manager.
This eliminates micro stuttering, reduces input lag and improves frametimes for stereo 3D mode.
You find it also under the Fixmanager download link.

This is how to get Side by Side:

In the manager go to:

Settings –> Display Profiles –> Monitor Profile

Tick the Box: “Preferred 3D Format” and set it to “Side by Side”.
In default its set to Regular 3D Vision Frame Sequential

I also recommend to enable in

Settings –> Nvidia 3D Settings –> Advanced Hotkeys, so you can control the convergence, which is a must, to make the 3D Effect really good. The best is, when the character pops out a little bit.

In game via CTRL + F3 (best to hold the keys) you can decrease the 3D depth
with CTRL + F4 you increase the strenght.

CTRl + ALT + F11 is like changing to Z3D/G3D

The fixmanager also offers 3 differtent Profiles, Monitor, Beamer and TV.
i would recommend to set there also all to SBS via ticking the box.

In Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain, when you use any hotkey you will get feedback by changing the 3D Strength.
In the Darkness 2 (DirectX9) you dont get any feedback, but it works.

In case the game is not in SBS 3D, press CTRL+ T to enable or disable it manually.

U dont need to install any more or something the fixmanager will automatically install all requred drivers. So it will automatically install the correct 3D fix for Directx9 and so on. You only need to start the game via the manager.

nice thread :)

i’ve been playing vampire masquerade bloodlines from start to finish with vorpx, amazing exp ^^
right now i’m playing dark messiah of might and magic, it’s really fun :)
after that i know i will play ori and the will of the wisps and i’m not sure what after but there are so many great games to play with vorpx it’s sometimes hard to pick which one to play first :D

i’m very bad at souls games else i’d try first person mod with dark souls 3, can you tweak fov tho ?

[TheBalt]

Hey everyone,

So ive been with Vorpx for awhile and with Lockdown 2020 going on… i assume a fair amount of us are largely indoors, looking for games to play (maybe getting bored of the games we got since we are this far into it.)

So – I thought, may not be a horrible idea to share what Vorpx experiences we had that we thought were exceptionally good (or just exceptionally unique and need to be experienced)

So, Im offering my top picks here and some of them require Mods.

First of all – Dark Souls 3 with First Person Mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls3/mods/20/?

Now, to use this mod it does require you basically “not using” many of the games mechanics. You cant really use the Lock On ability because the first person camera mod basically makes Lock on go TOTALLY insane… So you pretty much are stuck playing the game as a quick 2 handed character. Now, this sounds awful, but once you get the flow of things (and things are indeed easier to dodge in first person – you see those swings coming) you will be massacring the Dark Souls 3 monsters with well timed rolls and a solid 2 handed weapon.

Now, I dont want anyone to feel like Im sending them to their deaths here, so there is a GREAT 2 handed weapon available at the start of the game, after you kill the first boss.

https://youtu.be/dvUxVcNBfDk?t=78

Watch that video and he will lead you to the best two handed option early in game that you can level up and use all the way to the end of the game – im not lying, beat the game with zero lock on and just dodging and using that sword, leveling it up as i went. So unfortunately – Shield blocks and Spellcasting are kinda out of the window since Lock on doesnt work right… but its still an incredible experience to see the beautifucally horrific monsters in Dark Souls 3 up close and the ‘fun part’ is – your sword SWINGS where you are ‘looking’ – so there is some degree of motion controls because you will be slashing at one dude and turn your head to hit his buddy and your sword slash WILL follow your ‘face’… so you aim with your head.. its kinda glorious and fun if youre a Dark Souls Fan.

Anyways, Dark Souls 3 is totally playable like this (if youre a souls fan, i think most of us agree, Dark Souls 3 is far and away the easiest of the bunch, so this isnt impossible. Now this does use CheatEngine so you want to be playing offline for this mod)

Next up, Sekiro with a first person mod.

This one I have NOT finished the game yet – but – it seems to work much better than the Dark Souls 3 mod, it doesnt make the camera go wonky on lock ons so you can lock onto your enemies and “stand your ground” as you normally would in Sekiro (and parries seemed WAY easier in first person, seeing when their sword is about to hit you is alot easier when theyre right in your face)

https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/474

This one is much easier to get up and running, dont need to worry about getting a specific sword and everything. For extra fun – if you wanted to feel a bit more like Spider Man + Sekiro, you can increase the range of your grapple hook as well, this one is just for funsies, but fuck it,youre modding the game anyhow :P

So thats the end of my Souls recommendations haha.

Onto some other fun ones. GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas and GTA 4 all have First person mods and work great in Vorpx. GTA5 has a few VR mods out there and i havent dug into it yet to know whats better or not, but you can get first person mods for Vice City and San Andreas and 4 and experience driving your car in first person, looking over your shoulder (they actually have an animation where when you look into your blind spot you see your characters shoulder leaning back like in real life to check a blind spot lol).. and being in VR listening to the absurd radio shows that pop up on there is just alot of fun.

Also just great out of the box experiences – All the Metro games. Even though it doesnt have full 3d I found a good profile for Evil Within 2 and that game features a good first person mode, it might be fun for survival horror fans to just put it up on immersive screen mode.. it was a ton of fun when I played it.

Just trying to give some recommendations to my fellow Vorpxers about games that are out there that are alot of fun.

Please feel free to add your personal favorites to this list so we can try to see if we might be able to help eachother pick out our next games

[TheBalt]

Not that i know of, Ralf and i use the application regularly. their anti cheat garbage is too extreme, i got nothing running and cant even get gears 5 to launch because their anti cheat system is so overzealous, i have no clue what it thinks its finding but ive tried disabling everything and it wont even launch a game WITHOUT Vorpx being involved.

I have had Gamepass games work perfectly with Vorpx that were single player – like Darksiders 3 worked 100% fine. Outer Worlds worked fine but there was another user who had controller issues with the GamePass version as well, I think the profile just wasnt able to get into the ini files or whatever it is you usually tweak to get the mk/controller functionality to work at same time.

So, sorry, thats not exactly an answer to your question, but my experience with this program, even on its own, has been sketch. Vorpx has worked for single player games, but Outer Worlds did have a control problem I think another user replicated, neither of us could figure it out.

So – long story short – you work hard for us and i appreciate you coming out and just asking bluntly to help make the program more functional for us – but i think youre fighting an impossible battle with the current iteration of Xbox Game Pass games. Its going to work sometimes but I wouldnt stress it, as a consumer, I appreciate you trying to get it to work – but dont beat yourself up over this one at all; its very much so still an application with many of its own issues that are totally out of your control.

Thanks for your time and be safe with the craziness going on!

Bump. Just wanted to say ralf. I felt the same way the first 3 hours or so.. in the end I just opened the console and did sv_cheats 1 “GOD” and “Impulse 101” and turned the difficulty to Hard mode for more enemies and then the fun started lol. Once you get to the half way point of the game it really starts to make sense and pickup on the action. I really just wanted to see the story and shoot stuff and feel I didn’t miss out on much by cheating to be honest. Maybe I missed out on looting and the tension of inventory management and shooting/reloading, but I didn’t really have that much fun doing that anyway.

The first half of the game really feels a lot like underground dark cooridors and tunnels, still cool seeing the graphics, but it really starts opening up I after that. You really don’t want to miss it.

[TheBalt]

Just wanted to say Thank You, Ralf. The work you put into this is beyond what I could have ever hoped for when I bought my key back during DK2 days (pretty sure it was a decision between you and Tridef and literally best call in gaming platform I ever made)

I havent been a total lifesucker tho – I did get 2 friends to buy Vorpx when they got their headsets, so im working for ya, bud :P

Seriously though – thank you so much for making this not just a WORTHWHILE product – but literally the best gaming complimentary software i have ever owned. You utterly have changed certain games for me (i got to play dark souls 3 and sekiro in 1st person 3d!!!! You did that!)

So thank you so much for your work and time and honestly.. I wouldnt blame you for slowing down tomorrow; at the same time, I will take every update with a smile on my face, a thumbs up to you, sir – and, I will continue to try to convince friends of the quality of your product.

Thanks again! Hope you and your family are well with everything going on

I’m using Pimax 5k+. I’m having a convergence issue with one game in particular. Thief: Dark Shadows. It works fine aside that I’m seeing double. IPD for Pimax is set and looks fine in other games. I was hoping there is a method to adjust the convergence for this?

[Sanjiyan]

Recently reinstalled VorpX to run around some, Oculus Rift been collecting some dust recently but in light of our quarantine I wanted to have some fun. Decided to get Amnesia The Dark Decent a try. Now I don’t know if the what I put in the title is the “right” term for my problem, but when you put on your Oculus now you are in what I am calling the home room that you design and look at menus. No idea if that is what Oculus calls it.

Anyway, I open up the Rift, then I open up Steam, then I run the game (any game) and the game runs. I see a quick message about VorpX hooking in to the game and on my Monitor I “see” what should be displaying in the Rift, a spit Left/Right view of the game, but in the headset I am still in my home room thing. I can’t figure out if there is an “exit” to that room or something, I can run other games I have from the Oculus Store, but it never seems to display VorpX.

One of the things I think might be an issue is in General under Device Selection it just says Generic VR Headset (extended mode), and while trying to re-learn how to use VorpX I have seen several screen shots or videos of that screen where it actually says Oculus Rift there… But that isn’t an option in my dropdown.

Any tips on what I am missing?

Hi, new to VR but been looking into buying and other possibilities for a couple of years, hence why I’ve jumped straight into the deep end with vorpX !

Some questions to trouble you all with:

1. Is a game profile required for any .exe that I require to be hooked?

2. Is creating a vorpX shortcut to my game the only way to run my game with vorpX ? I don’t understand.

3. If I don’t want to universally change my Pimax settings (to those that vorpx requires), can I create PiTools games profiles for Vorpcontrol.exe and Vorpdeskop.exe? Will the settings be honored by the service?

4. Do I need to create a game profile within PiTools for any game I launch with vorpX ?

5. vorpX Desktop doesn’t run, well there is something going on but nothing appears in my headset. A very dark grey background, that’s all. I’ve tried admin mode with/without. Tried alternative hook method. Nothing.

6. If a game cannot be hooked and I get an error message to the effect of “hook failed”, what simple measures can I try (other than admin mode)
