My list of favourites:

Dishonored
Outlast
Mirror’s Edge
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Shadow Warrior
The Darkness 2
Dear Esther *
Life is Strange *
Dead Space 3 *
Max Payne 3 *

* Unlock prosiontal tracking form advanced options

These are my favourite perfomance wise. I would add also:

Alan Wake, who doesn’t suppuort geometry 3d or positional tracking but runs so well with Z-Buffer that you won’t miss the 2.

All these games works great with 970 and Vive at 1920×1400 with medium detail setting or so.

i’ve tried ghosts and deadspace 2 using nvidia DSR 4x, so basically 3840*2160..
It looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!
this is how it should be, i have 45 fps nearly constant at max settings on both games, i don’t expect to be able to do it on newer games but on this 2 it looks perfect!
At least on newer games i prefer much more lowering details but DSR x4 is a must to enjoy this vorpx without minecraft effect.
Unfortunately it’s impossible to use DSR on custom resolutions, so for newer games that i’m going to test i’ll check first for windowed mode then if it’s not possible to set higher res i’ll go for DSR.
I’ve zoomed out a bit the screen in order to use all the available pixels as it’s a 16:9 res (something around 70%, i still cover the vive fully).
Dead space is in geometry 3d but there are some minor artifacts and also as it’s not a first person view game is not the best on the vr, but the quality is now how i wanted it to be.
Searching for a geometry 3d fps now.. any suggestion that is NOT on this list? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xQom_2-Hgno-zO_wQtjarapZEyW_1XCL5LB8TX8v7zc/edit?pli=1#gid=0
Rendering issues on alien isolation are now fixed ? would be great on vr

Mirrror’s Edge, Outlast, The Darkness 2, Aliens Colonial Marines, Dishonored, Bioshock Infinite works great with Geometry and positional tracking support (the ones i have). I would dare saying they look like native Vr on a good rig. Others like Dead Space 3 still kick ass with Geometry but have no positional tracking.

Hi, I also have this problem with most of my games, setting path not found. I think the only ones it hasn’t been working on are ones that store the configs in the steam folder. (ie fallout 4, dead space 3, bioshock infinite work fine and I know they use the docs folder, while Portal 2, Metro Last light redux, serious sam, talos principle, antichamber did not work.)

All software runs under the same account and level (ie user only, no admin use) although I did try running the config as admin to be sure, no folders redirects to network shares (home folders all default locations), tested games have all been run at least once.

Registry entries correctly point to steam folder:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam]
“SteamExe”=”d:/steam/steam.exe”
“SteamPath”=”d:/steam”

Running Windows 10, fairly clean and new install, rest of system is on C drive, only steam is on D drive, no issues with any other software that accesses configs or games folders without manual input.

If this is not fixable, couldn’t a simple option to export optimized game settings be added so you can replace the configs yourself?

Edit: Btw I am running the latest Beta version, with the Vive and so far after a lot of tweaking it has been working fine.

I had killed the 2 running processes using task manager not tray icon since I thought it was why DS wasn’t executing properly, but it was unrelated. So if not running it won’t even try to run when you launch games? (e.g. hasn’t connected itself at the registry level to execute first?) Also…didn’t even know there was a tray icon at first. Stupid W10 hiding icons unless you set them on…sheesh. Got it visible now.

Also figured out if it is running I can prevent it autostart with applications (watcher?) at the tray icon. The menu pick wording didn’t quite match what the help page said about enabling/disabling which confused me, but all is good now. Did notice it gets stuck with applications in a ‘can’t find HMD’ text notice loop if the Vive isn’t actually plugged in but watcher was on…prevented me actually getting the focus into Elite until I disabled the watcher and tried again. And of course might not actually use in Elite since it has its own (currently buggy) VR support built in.

Wanted to buy the second I saw Vive support but waiting on new glasses without bifocal lens to really use my Vive for evil <grin>) so might not test again for a week or so. Couldn’t resist the very first day but not worried if it take a few tries to get the right sequence. Probably start with 3rd person games first like Dead Space, Alan Wake, Witcher 2 and 3, to test my nausea response.

Thanks again for the program and look forward to much more time with it.

First, Thank you very much for writing this! I purchased as soon as I saw the beta was out (someone posted on reddit).

Second…is there a basic sequence of instructions somewhere for Vive users? I looked but couldn’t find one (failure could have been mine).

Something like (installation and registration of vorpx being assumed….):

Configure for vive first thru configure vorpx shortcut. Then to start game

1. Start SteamVR, headset and base stationss on but controllers can be off?
1a. Run configuration for desktop/standing
2. Start vorpX
3. Start game
3a. If starting game thru steam try ___

So far I’ve only attempted once – Dead Space – and the exe just crashed on launch
?

haha that’s quite a commitment to VR.
Yeah, considering the huge potential of VORPX and the raw buying power of Oculus, I’m surprised they haven’t acquired the software, or at least thrown together an in-house version. The fact that their “killer apps” are a pay-to-win flightsim and a Bubsy 3d clone, while a small 3rd party team adds support for hundreds of great games by themselves just goes to show you where Oculus’ priorities lie. But really, an awesome piece of software with surprising utility, Dead Space 2 and Bioshock alone are worth the purchase price, especially with Deepon halving the cost of entry over a DK2.

Hello, I haven’t purchased this program yet but I probably will in the near future when my CV1 arrives in a few weeks.

I signed up for this specifically because VorpX appear to be a must purchase with the Oculus Rift. I am planning to buy the CV1 but won’t have a delivery until July or perhaps by end of summer 2016. Can we assume that Vorpx will evolve and support the consumer version of the Oculus Rift? The Rift + VorpX looks like the deciding factor for me in terms of which way to go as far as experimenting with VR technology.

I am an avid Nvidia 3D Vision user using a 120 Inch projector setup for some real immersive gaming experiences. I have been active in the Nvidia 3D Vision forums and the work that the community has done on game fixes and tweaks for 3D Stereoscopic is mind blowing. Dead Space series in 3D Vision on a 120 Inch screen is just amazing and has to be experienced to appreciate. I’ve seen a user inject the 3D Vision fix with Far Cry Primal along with VorpX to obtain good results.

Far Cry Primal + VorpX + 3D Vision Fix

Question for anyone here, can these fixes be useful with VorpX? The 3D Vision fixes has ini files that can be set to inject or chain DLL’s. You have to visit the two links that I included in the body of this post. The scope of all that has been done in the last several years is a must look for those that are interested in real immersive gaming for the PC.

VR appears to be steps forward in immersive gaming and based on some Youtube videos of users using VorpX with the Rift, this seems like the right fit for me. Room scaling for the Vive seems half baked to me and while it has glowing reviews, I cannot justify the extra cost for this especially for the first time I am spending any money on VR technology. I suspect I should get several hours of enjoyment with VorpX and the Rift even though it’s not fully refined. Anyone who has this kind of setup, please give me your thoughts and comments for the amount of enjoyment, if any that you’ve had. I realize this cost will be more experimental into VR gaming until the industry matures.

Cheers all!

Thanks for your quick reply. I have looked in the in game menu (Dead space 3) but can’t see any option called direct mode show original?

[Jamieking86]

Hi guys, I’ve just recently purchased vortx so excuse me but I am a bit of a noob with it :-)

The first problem i have is I’ve tried dead space 2-3 and outlast and each game is zoomed in too much so i can hardly see anything. It’s a little better once the game starts, but in the menus I cant see hardly anything. When i look around the screen follows my field of view therefore i can’t look left and right to see the menus properly. Is their any way to fix this? I managed to set screen size to the smallest, 1024 x 768 (or something like that) which is slightly better but still…..can’t see much.

Second thing is when i start the games, it shows up on my oculus rift but not on my monitor. I have my PC hooked up to my 55″ TV so when mates come round we take it in turns with the Oculus but it sucks if nobody else can see what’s going on on the screen. Can i enable the screen as well as the oculus? Thanks

[ben1988]

Update: When i opened zombiu the game would open on my main monitor and not hook, after yanking out the positional tracker cables and restarting the game the game hooks fine, now it hooks even with the positonal tracker connected.

Dead space 3 now hooks, but Necrovision does not hook.

[suharb]

After every time i use vorpx to play gta \ battlefield \ left4dead etc. al my games from oculusd developers crashes ( cyberspace, UE4rollercoaster) To fix this problem i need to shut down vorpx . Including oculus games in vorpx doesn’t help. Sorry for my terrifying english

Did you read the Essential Game Hints in the vorpX help? Both topics are generally covered there.

Head tracking has to be adjusted once per game according to the mouse sensitivity.

The field of view (zoomed in) also has to be dealt with, either by setting it to something higher in the game or by using one of the workarounds that vorpX provides in case that isn’t possible. For some games that can be done automatically with the Game Optimizer in the config app, for others you have to do it manually. The options you have in this regard are listed in the Essential Game Hints from best to worst.

Regarding Dead Space 3 specifically: I would recommend to play the game in Virtual Cinema Mode. For third person games that’s often the better choice compared to full VR. With the “Ambience” scene and the virtual screen moved a bit closer it feels almost as immersive as full VR, but is better suited for third person games which have the camera rotating around the player model.

[Ralf]

There is no way to edit the Optimizer profiles, but they seldomly rely on the install location. In case of Dead Space 3 the Game Optimizer expects the following file to exist: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\EA Games\Dead Space 3\system.txt .

It may be required to start the game at least once before using the Optimizer to let the game create the settings file.

Hi, i run into a problem with Dead Space3. The game setting optimizer says game not installed.
But it is a origin based one.
Is there a file one could edit , or where can you change the path that voppx optimezer will find the .exe
