An excellent and all encompassing response indeed! I would only ask if Dishonored 2 is also playable in direct VR? And how about Sniper elite 4 with geo 3d and VR?
Was also hoping that Prey would have Geo 3d but I think it doesn’t – is that true?

Great list there anyway!

The best games to start with are undoubtedly those with Direct VR support. After applying Direct VR these have perfect 1:1 head tracking and perfect FOV without the need for any further setup. In *some* cases Direct VR even provides basic roomscale, i.e. you can walk around a bit more freely than with the normal vorpX positional tracking.

In no particular order:

Bioshock 1 (original version in DX9 mode)
Bioshock 2 (original version in DX9 mode)
Bioshock Infinite
Borderlands 2
Borderlands Pre-Sequel
Skyrim (original DX9 version is best for VorpX)
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
Fallout 4
Dishonored
Half-Life 2 (incl. Ep. 1+2)
The Stanley Parable
Dear Esther (Source engine version)
Portal
Portal 2
Black Mesa
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Left 4 Dead 2
Mirror’s Edge
Aliens Colonial Marines
Duke Nukem Forever
Quake III
Star Trek Voyager Elite Force
Return to Castle Wolfenstein [2001]

My latest personal recommendation would be Half-Life 2 Episode 1, which I just recently played for two hours. Something I don’t do nearly as often as I’d like to these days. Call me heavily biased, I am for sure, but that was more fun than 99% of made for VR games. I actually ended up doing that after buying and trying a bunch of highly praised made for VR titles the same evening.

In case someone never played HL2 Episode 1: right at the start you enter an alien fortress, which not only still looks great after all these years, it’s also a perfect-for-VR mix of shooting sequences and (easy) physics puzzles. Most importantly: all that in a highly intense atmosphere that almost inescapably sucks you into the game. Creating such an intense atmosphere is the hard part of making good single player shooters and it really makes all the difference in VR. Hard to top if you ask me.

Similar things could be said about Bioshock, Black Mesa (Half-Life 1 remake), the Fallout games, Skyrim or – insider tip – Aliens: Colonial Marines, which may just be a mediocre shooter on the monitor, but is actually great with vorpX.

Important side note: whenever possible play standing with Touch controllers or Vive wands!

One last thing: not a Direct VR game, but also extremely intense (and visually great) is Resident Evil 7. I chickened out before the introduction mission was over. Good luck with that one.

Of all the games I tried, only 2 are actually good enough to be properly playable. Thief (2014) and BattleFront.
Most every other, the FOV can’t be set high enough no matter what. I can fake it a little bit with Portal 2 but either the fps isn’t high enough or the FOV is off even after adjusting what I can in VorpX. It’s just funky enough to not be worth it.
Fallout 4, again I can fake it enough but it’s still not quite right, there’s a couple other titles like this but most are just terrible. If you can’t have a real 120 fov horizontal, it just never looks quite right.

So basically I play using the cinema screen and I’m ok with that as long as I have the 3D option but the lack of UE4 support is killing me as so many games use that engine. Dishonored 2 isn’t playable at all with imported profile and some won’t even hook, especially if you want to use ENB series or Reshade. As such I never recommend my VR friends to get this.

I just wish Ralph was able to put more resources into VorpX, usually the lone coding wolf for software like this just never pans out enough to have polish. Too bad Valve doesn’t try to make an app like this.

I used Rising Evil’s updated profile for Dishonored 2. However the game is like frame by frame. Even the loading screen is 10x’s longer than normal. It’s about like 1 frame for every 5 seconds. In the Rift, I get the “sorry it’s taking longer than usual to load…” message and the game never loads up in it. But onscreen I see the VorpX logo and it’s unplayable of course.

So I assume it must work fine for someone if Rising Evil made 2 profiles for it and it got 4 endorsements. So I wanted to check to see what my options are for getting this working.

Since this uses a customized Tech 6 engine, should I try making a profile using the new Doom profile? But I assume that’s what Rising evil did

Thanks for any help.

Yeah Dishonored was one of my 1st games I used VorpX for and it is awesome. If you haven’t tried Bioshock Infinite that one is topnotch in VorpX too.

Still doesn’t work, I’m about ready to hang up the towel on Vorp X. I’m not sure what else to try.

So, here it goes. I can launch SteamVR and Vorp X(I have tried launching one before the other). It gets me into SteamVR but when launching a game, it wants to launch into Theatre Mode(through SteamVR). If I take off the HMD and launch the game it says it’s not supported. I continue anyways and it launches on the monitor, not the HMD. Head Tracking, Controls, etc none of it is working, which indicates to me the hooking process is not happening at all.

I have been testing with Dishonored.

Hi same problem as usual with certain games.
Error message :
The game shows: cant find .exe, or game exe takes too long to load , execution error (Dishonored series ,GTA5)

The solution is to pause vorpx and as soon as the launcher closes its window, resume vorpx.

I do have that problem with certain games : Gtav,Skyrim,Dishonored (1 and 2)
whereas Skyrim Se ,Fallout and Alien Isolation start without that pause trick.
I guess the game start too fast and vorpx cant hook that fast.

HI all i can say Dishonored runs fine on CV1.My resolution 1940X1440.
The key to got it run on my system is: Start steam, start vorpx, pause vorpx, start dishonored launcher and immediateley resume vorpx.

Same here, same issue. Maybe I’m doing this wrong? Feels like they should have a how to for this stuff since it doesn’t appear to work right or maybe I’m doing this in the wrong order.

Steam overlay disabled. SteamVR off.
Turn on VorpX, put on Oculus hmd, I’m in Oculus home.

Launch a game(even created a desktop shortcut through VorpX, in this case, for Dishonored).
Launch the game, it opens on the desktop. Oculus hmd is still on, I’m in Oculus home. Press the Oculus button which usually toggles whatever else is being used (as it does with SteamVR) but it does nothing.

I can press the DEL button but it does not bring up the VorpX menu on either screen.
I can use the VorpX Desktop Mode but cannot play games through it, get a white screen when launching Dishonored.

I come from the previous DK2 days using VorpX which I loved dearly.

Now I have in my possession CV1 and with it the bulky oculus application. What happens is the following:

-Start VorpX, confirmed running in System Tray
-Make sure SteamVR is not running
-Put on headset, oculus home launches
-Launch Dishonored, Dishonored appears on monitor(single monitor connected) and not on headset
-Headset stays on Oculus Home, monitor stays on Dishonored
-Adjusted resolution in Dishonored to make sure it would work properly with headset(1280 x 1024 per VorpX Configuration recommended setting)
-It just seems like VorpX isn’t hooking properly, or Oculus Home is taking precendence over it

I just finished Dishonored, which I never got into outside VR. Man was it a ride. I’ll definitely consider playing the second game in cinema mode.

[nieda113]

found the problem,,, its not possible to have full resolution and windowed mode in Dishonored.
I even change the values in regedit .. the full resolution will only be applied by remving -windowed in steam startoption..
problem fixed….

[nieda113]

@Ralph i have found this problem in Dishonored.

I set Dishonored to a 1920 X 1440 resolution in dishonored graphics settings.

If i start in vorpx the settings shown at the launch screen of vorpx is 881 X 661.

It doesnt matter what i change in Dishonored engine.ini the resolution does not change in voprx .
could that becaused by adding the launchcomand in steam ” -windowed”

(Othergames can be set to windowed and still have the resolution set to 4k and the resolution configuered in the games ini. will show in vorpx though)

[nieda113]

@Ralph hi, managed to get Dishonored running on vorpx. The problem is WIn10. U need to run in compatibility mode WIN 7. U must not have run as admin checked.
This setting allows u to play Dishonored on WIN 10 machine although it might take up tp four strats with obove shown eror messages,, but after that it runs fine.

just an info.

Please try to uninstall MalwareBytes for testing purposes. Some AV programs don’t really allow their users to fully disable them unless being uninstalled. Also please check whether there may be something else installed on your PC that also hooks into games (e.g. video recording software, chat apps or GPU/CPU utilities etc.)

Would be a bit odd that an AV related issue only applies to one game, but I’m not sure what else to recommend here. As far as I can remember I never heard of such an issue before with Dishonored, which is a rather popular game.
