Hey guys, I just bought VorpX this last weekend and I’m having an issue in Dragon Age: Origins. I couldn’t find another thread about this issue, I first noticed it when I tried to reset my view using VorpX in game. When it reloaded there were parts of the environment that were missing and my character will flicker in and out of the game while I move. I finished the area I was at and when it loaded the next area it was still having the problem. I tried restarting my computer and it seemed to be okay, but occasionally it will do it again. Right now my save file will load with this issue and I can’t seem to get it to function properly again. Thanks for any help. I also have a couple small issues with Max Payne 3, it looks great in 3D, but the aiming pointer is hard to use and sometimes splits into 2. The subtitles also get messed up when a character pops up through them. Anyone have an idea for those?

Thanks,
Mike

That’s not quite as important anymore for modern games as it used to be. Most games these days use low latency mouse input with almost as little latency as memory scanner head tracking. The memory scanner is still quite a bit better for other reasons, but the advantage isn’t as huge with most newer games.

Are you only interested in isometric RPGs, or do you enjoy other RPGs?

I enjoy many of the classic-style isometric RPGs, but also enjoy many of the newer ones. Probably the best “blend” of traditional and new was Dragon Age Origins, which I would whole-heartedly recommend even to people who “only like real isometric-style RPGs. Other than that one things go non-traditional pretty quickly, but if you can adjust don’t hesitate to try the rest of the Dragon Age series, the Mass Effect series, Fallout 3, NV, and 4, or even Skyrim (not a very good RPG, but a nice open world wandering-around kind of thing), and don’t forget Witcher 2 and 3. All good, or even great, RPGs that you might enjoy.

Oh, and I don’t know if it will work with VorpX, I’m not quite there yet, but NWN2 is still a fairly good RPG even by today’s standards, and it did work with TriDef so there is at least some chance you can get it to work with VorpX.

I’m unable to hook to DAI by any means,
When I try to launch the game, it opens small black window and after short while expands it, with black in top left and white everywhere else, at this point it’s already not responding. With watcher paused, game runs fine.
My setup:
Windows 10 64bit
RTX 2080ti
Ryzen 7 2700x
Steam VR headset

What I tried/checked so far:
-Game runs in DX11 mode.
-I tried disabling every single one overlay that could interfere (Discord, Nvidia, Xbox game bar, origin, MSI Afterburner, Riva tuner)
-I tried both hooking modes, same thing happens with normal and alternative one
-I tried switching between fullscreen and windowed, didnt help
-I tried “delaying” attaching by pausing watcher and resuming it after starting game. Now this helped a bit, first of all if I waited too long, it wouldnt attach at all, but game runs fine. If I resume watcher right after starting it, before window appears, It attaches and even shows image in my headset, but window has no focus and won’t receive any input that way, and as soon as I click on it, it becomes unresponsive.

So, what should I do next?

[mr_spongeworthy]

I’ve been stereoscopic gaming for nearly a decade now, mostly on a 720p DLP in frame-packing mode (TriDef) but more recently moved to a 1080p display (so using top/bottom, mostly through TriDef as well). Since I already played in 3D I didn’t feel the need to hop into VR right away. Now that a wide-fov HDM is available at a reasonable price (Pimax 5k) I plan to hop on the VR bandwagon, and will definitely be using vorpX since the vast majority of my games are not VR titles.

My primary tools are TriDef (now defunct) and SuperDepth 3D for games which either don’t work in TriDef (few) or for which performance through TriDef just isn’t satisfactory, or for a handful of other reasons. (Unfortunately ReShade disables access to the depth-buffer during online play, so that makes SuperDepth 3D unusable in games like Fallout 76. We need to convince Crossire to allow this to work.) As such, I’m relatively familiar with tweaking 3D profile settings for games etc.

Anyone here make a similar transition and have advice to give as to what problems to watch out for? I’m just looking for some general advice / tips if anyone wants to share.

I mostly play character-and/or-world-driven RPGs (Dragon Age Origins = my favorite game of all time) and Racing SIMs with a dedicated racing seat and FFB equipment (T500) (Assetto Corsa = my current go-to). In fact, I’ll almost certainly want to go back and play all of my long-time favorites again as soon as I get the rig working properly: Dragon Age series, Mass Effect series, Fallout 3 and newer, etc. As such I imagine that I’ll largely be using an HMD with traditional controls (I have a Nostromo, so I can effectively keyboard & mouse without having to use the regular keyboard itself). How hard has it been adjusting to use of traditional controls when you can’t see them? Or does vorpX do such a good job of mapping VR controllers that even for games like Dragon Age Origins I should just bite-the-bullet and adapt?

And how are the vorpX profiles? If I see that a game is supported does this mean the profiles are excellent, or are there issues like the frequent lighting/shadow depth problems TriDef had, that have to be discovered and worked-around?

This is going to sound lame, lol, cause I had such big plans! Prey! Deus Ex: Mankind Divided! And so many others (Dragon Age 2 and 3!). But I actually got stuck playing Skyrim. I decided I needed to get back and actually play through some of the other stories in the game (Dawnguard, etc.), and I have been playing this for weeks now. VorpX is so awesome.
Thanks for sharing this, raidouk3. I’ve had Metro 1 and 2 on my que for VorpX as well! I’ll get to them eventually (I played them flat, but how can I resist playing them in VorpX! lol). Are you looking forward to the third installment?

Is there a new profile for Titanfall 2? The original was pretty bad–no depth at all between your gun and the background, for instance–if this got fixed I’d be psyched to play it.

Same goes for Dragon Age Inquisition, Titanfall 2, and most of the Battlefield games. EA must be hurtin for cash.

Good timing for profile updates, thanks Ralf. Finally off work, time to play 😁

Yay, we’re getting the new VorpX release in the near-future. Definitely stoked about that. If I remember right, there’s going to be an official profile for Dragon Age Inquisition! That’ll be awesome! I know that a lot of users prefer to play games in First Person. DA:I, like the other Dragon Age games, is of course in the 3rd Person, but I ran across an article today for a modder who made it into First Person! Actually, he made it so you can switch between modes on the fly. Pretty awesome. I doubt I’ll use it, since I like 3rd Person, but I thought some of you might want to give it a try:

Yeah, I guess I did misunderstand you. I had no clue you were using an HMD. Right on! OK, well, AOE Online has no official profile, so its not super surprising that its only showing up in 2D. However, you could try creating a profile for it using one of these profiles:
http://rjkole.com/gamestuff/engines/index.php?selengine=Havok
The game is listed as coming out in 2011, so just use search (CRTL+F) to look for previous year games to find established profiles. For instance, Dark Souls, Left 4 Dead 2, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising all have listed profiles (you can tell because they have the Pipes || after the year).
In the VorpX Config, you just have to download (“Import”) one of those profiles from the cloud, then in the Local Profiles panel, locate the newly downloaded profile, then select “Create Custom Profile” give it the name of the Game. In this case, Age of Empires Online.
Now, locate the new profile you just made in the same Local Profiles panel (It’ll have the name you gave it). After selecting it, associate it with the actual game .exe file (Under “Assigned Programs” there should be a blank box, but to its immediate right, press “Add” locate the main .exe file for the game).
Next, press “Apply” on the VorpX Config Window, and try starting AOE Online. If it hooks, and displays in 3D, you got it! (You may want to go into the VorpX in-game menu by pressling DEL and tweaking and testing the 3D strength, etc, and flipping between 3D modes to be sure that it is actually in 3D)
Finally, you may have to try more than one of the games in the Havok list in the link I gave you above from RJK.
Sorry if this is confusing, I’d do it for you, but I don’t own AOE Online to test it out.
Good luck! 👍😃

Dragon Age Origins has perfect depth (orzammar is incredible for understanding the perception. It looks awesome). I play all games in Cinema mode due to a balance condition (I’m dizzy all the time, so I need stationary things to keep steady, and cinema is perfect for that). I just finished Alien Isolation, that was incredible, and the depth was great. I’ve tooled around with Metro 2033 (not Redux) and the depth is spot-on. Skyrim is always a solid. Oh, and Mass Effect 3 (I haven’t played 1 or 2 with VorpX). The G3D is stunning. I’ve used VorpX for a few months now, and I love it. I use it every day (I’m not kidding), it really is great. If you think you are seeing things flat and you think it may be your HMD, definitely try newer hardware. I’d do that before I started thinking VorpX needed to be way different for my peculiar use-case.

I have Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 3, and Metro 2033. I’ll test those in the next couple days when I get a chance. I’d like to ask more specifics if you don’t mind:

-What screen distance offset setting do you use?
-What aspect ratio do you use (4:3 / 16:9, etc.)?
-Any other tweaks you recommend for them, like custom FOV, etc?
-If you don’t mind sometime, pick a game you think has good depth, and temporarily decrease the screen distance value and look at something close to you. Does the depth seem lower at all?

I’ll assume you play with a screen depth of 3.0 or less for all them.

And hey, you don’t need to convince me VorpX is great software. It’s the entire basis of me wanting to upgrade my VR set. I just want to get this one aspect ironed out and I’m halfway to heaven.

Yep, downloaded too, backlogging both for now, I’m still on Tomb Raider 2013, Rise of Tomb Raider, Witcher 2 and Remember Me. Feel free to recommend more of your favorite 3rd person games pls since many sites are on sale right now.
I got DAO Ultimate at GOG for 5 dollars.

<p class=”cye-lm-tag”>@ distant lol DA:O Ultimate edition is only 7.49 on steam. No pressure, but it is totally worth it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/47810/Dragon_Age_Origins__Ultimate_Edition/

[Distant]

I don’t have this game yet but holiday games sale is upon us soon, i’ll look out for it on steam. I agree, Vorxp changes the nature of 3rd person gaming for good, I’m also planning to revisit many old favorite games, Vorpx renews and reinvigorates my interest in gaming again after a long stretch of away time. Just a few days ago I was looking for a 4k projector with 1K x 120Hz 3D capacity for gaming but with Vorxp that is no longer necessary and i can live with the old bq w1070 just for the bluray 3d, for gaming i just need a better headset and save a lot of money. Inquisition graphics looks much better than the old Origins, should I just start with Inquisition ?

@ Distant if you want a great 3rd Person game with an awesome storyline and incredible (totally awesome) G3D, you should check out Dragon Age: Origins (Make sure to get the Ultimate Edition if you don’t have it already). I am replaying DA:O just because of VorpX. It is so awesome. And one more reason to get excited, with the next update, we’re supposed to be getting Dragon Age: Inquisition (AKA Dragon Age 3) in G3D! I can’t wait.

For Rise of the Tomb Raider please make sure that it’s set to DirectX 11, vorpX does not support DX12. Same for Dragon Age Inquisition which you might have set to use AMDs Mantle in case you use an AMD card.

If you are sure the games are set to DX11 mode and happen to have the Windows system restore functionality enabled, try to go back to a system restore point from before the issue started to occur.
