When I get home, I’ll try to do one more with the scene after the priest dunks his head and he awakes in the dark room with the ceiling fan — looking around the room and then up at that fan while it turns is once again incredibly real (sounds simplistic, but the presence is amazing).

Unfortunately support for Amnesia games cannot be added currently, since they use OpenGL instead of DirectX to display the graphics. OpenGL support might be added to vorpX at a later point in time.

I just purchased Vorpx, and it’s incredible on so many levels, so user friendly, so easy to optimize. I would love to see Amnesia The Dark Descent get added to the list of games, it is without a doubt the greatest horror game ever made (my opinion, but I’m right =D), having it on the list would be a huge selling point for those who are looking to up the ante when it comes to the VR horror experience. I’m sure you guys are extremely busy and have a huge list of games on a “priority additions list”, adding this game to that end of that list would be an amazing thing to look forward to in the future.

I attached a debugger and though I couldn’t get a stack trace, I did get a list of loaded modules at the time of the crash, which I sent to the the support email address.

If anyone else who is having the crash is able to do that, then perhaps it might help spot something consistent on our crash prone rigs in what is currently loaded into the process space at the time the issue occurs.

It’s another wild stab in the dark, but at least it is something to try (if you can), and it might yield better results than the machine specs, which don’t appear to have revealed anything.

Ok, I’ve had this issue in two games now, Condemned: Criminal Origins and Dark Souls.
First, I was very surprised to see how well Condemned worked even without 3D and no changeable FOV. Just when I was ready to play a bit, at one point in the game vorpx just stops doing it’s magic. The game just goes back to the normal 2D screen layout, and the vorpx overlay and zoom don’t work anymore.
Also had this with a brief try with Dark Souls.

On a “maybe” similar note, I’ve tried Mass Effect 3 and it works really well, except when my energy shield is depleted after taking too much damage, it explodes and suddenly it’s like seperation is set to 500. completely different viewing angles for both eyes. After a while when the shield starts regenerating, it goes back to normal.

well yeah i understand that you have a job fine. but then again thats more the reason to release the thing now as a beta. you could earn some extra money and then just take it as you go. but whatever. what gets me is just that the fact you havent bothered to commmicate and provided any blog posts or any real updates in months i mean at the very least you could post a video once in a while of your progress you know? i didnt mean to be overly rude (and for the other guy so your saying you woudnt want a person to buy your product who was rude to you. online.thats stupid money is money if you take it so personal thats your problem)

it would just be nice to hear more updates or some sort of timeline. and i just wish youd go ahead and release the beta to those who wish to be “early adopters” its like what a lot of devs are doing these days, with kickstarter and things like star citizen. i honestly think thats a much better way to do a project anyways ….expecally if you are more transparent and at least try to provide good status updates too. just leaving everyone in the dark on things just is really frustrating.

but i really think you should release the beta for those who want to pay early that will releave some pressure as you have the beta out for users and can just take more time to work at it at your own pace while earning a bit of money from it. or at least give us a reason for such a long delay when you said it would be out shortly after rifts started shipping..

but whatever. i guess it comes when it comes. didnt mean to be overly rude but its just frustrating because we are all sitting her wondering whats really going on with VorpX.

i think a few more updates or somethng would at least help.. updating your blog even just once a month would be better then nothing.

..and even when Ralf posts a reply, you spew the same old text. Can you not just leave it now?.
I can imagine Ralf bows to pressure and releases it in it’s current state and then you cant get a game working properly because people have different OS’s, GPUs, mem etc etc…you’d be here every day again moaning about when the next update is coming.
I really wish you’d think about these things a bit more rationally.

For the record, I have had a retail shop for 18 years..and money certainly isn’t money. I’d refuse to sell something to someone that had the tone you have..and I have done and will continue to do so.
Maybe you don’t read over what you write but regardless of your intention, you are simply rude.

i agree with you. I honestly think hes being a dick. I mean you dont annouce some awesome cool driver that will make a library of games work with it and then come out with some awesome cool beta previews for people and then stop updating yoru website. 3 months he hasnt updated his blog. 3 months.

i dont think its vaperware judging by the fact a beta actually is out to “the select few”

its just hes locked himself up in some dark hole and hes in his little world and it will come out when he “magically” decides it will.

all i got from him in an email near the start of the month (thanks by the way for ignoring my past two messages and only emailing me back that one time)

is that it will be out “well before” the consumer version.

whatever the hell that means.

release the damn thing already. if its in beta version thats prob good enough for us!

THIS IS FOR A DEVELOPMENT KIT IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE PERFECT RATHER THEN DOING EVERYTHING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WHY DONT YOU LET PEOPLE HELP BE PART OF THE DEVELOMMENT PROCESS BY HAVING THEM BUY THE EARLY VERSOIN AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND YOULL GET MONEY FROM IT TOO!

whatever. folks this is how NOT to do a oculus rift driver. dont annouce how awesomely kool it will be and provide nice beta previews and then just totally not give a (pardon me) fuck. about your “fan base”.

which honestly pretty much everyone who owns a Rift would be interested in this.

but whatever. im sure it will come out when he “magically” decides it is “ready”.

though i wonder what yard stick he is trying to mesure up to for it to be “ready”.

thats the problem with programs. they could be developed forever.. but theres a point you need to come to when you decide hey..it might be a great time to release it now.

whatever.

your a dick for posting all that cool info about it then not even bothering to update the site or have ANy timeframe whatsoever over it

but whatever. well at least you arnt going to half ass it like the guy who made the perception drivers so.

but theres a middle ground on one hand you dont want to make a product that only supports a few games and doesnt work the “best” but on the other hand you dont want to take FOREVER and leave people in the dark of your progress too.;

ugh.

oh well. its his loss too because hes just missing out on the money he could be making right now from it.

and thats the stupid part its a lose lose for both of us , him and us the longer he waits!

and he risks another company like tridef coming out with a better solution. they told me they have dev kits but arnt willing to annouce anything yet as im sure they are waiting to have things working well.

think about it. they already have a side by side 3d driver for games with it (that works with i think like 800 games) al they have to do is figure out how to do prewarping and head tracking and.

they could release a product (as they are a bigger company and not just one person) that could blow away Vorpx.

so yeah.

whatever.

and those beta previews were freaking MOTNHS ago. since then no one on youtube or any other site has posted anything else more about it

its like maybe he told them to stop talking about it

roadtoVR was supposed to post a update on the user interface and stuff too which they never did.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH VORPX?

ARE YOU EVEN STILL WORKING ON IT? IS IT EVER COMING OUT? if you decided to say the hell with it , you sure as fuck better at least release the beta verions thats all im gonna say.

SOMEONE WITH THE BETA VERSION PLEASE LEAK IT ON PIRATEBAY OK? THANK YOU!

[MrGeddings]

well im sorry for some of the things i said but whatever. i think this is redicilous. i wonder if this product will ever see the light of day

and of course the guy himslf didnt bother to reply to my thread. no suprise there. locked away in some dark hole somewhere im sure.

we NEED vorpx! right now. it would be so amazing. why in the WORLD are you TAKING SO DAMN LONG!

IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE PERFECT! sighs.

I have to agree. While I don’t think that berating Ralph is at all the right thing to do, I do think his choice to keep it closed and sell it is somewhat contradictory to the way he is treating his future clientele.
It is his right to hold off on a release (who knows, perhaps there was a deal breaker of a bug in there and he needs to rewrite half the code?) but leaving ‘average joe/jane’ in the dark does nothing to help his credibility towards the future, and he should be letting people know if there are problems.

This isn’t some console fanboy crowd that are going to be buying his drivers, it is going to be filled with PC savvy users who know better.

Perhaps he is sitting on a deal to buy out his code, or perhaps he just isn’t very good with people and suffers from some form of anxiety disorder and all of this attention is getting to him; it happens.

Give your people an update Ralf. You would be surprised how quickly an angry mob can be turned into adoring fans when you do things right. :)

When it’s finally released, I’ll probably wait until I see some reviews before buying. As we’ve all been in the dark for a while, the thing that worries me is what type of support we’ll get when we inevitably find bugs.
