By default my controllers had button-mapping to keys on my keyboard – then Vorpx uses those keys as bindings for the controller.

However; it appears there is some gesture support for some games – just can’t get gestures to work for the Quest 2 so I figured it just wasn’t supported.

After spending hours trying to get Vorpx to do what native VR games do; I’ve discovered that you have to just tweak the games to your own liking – but games like Fallout 3 felt clunky to me in Vorpx, same with Cyberpunk so I think I’ll just stick with native VR games.

It is a neat piece of software, but I was expecting it to run non-VR titles like a VR game; it won’t feel as smooth – but if you take the time to tweak settings (graphics) it can look amazing just having a hard time with the lack of gesture control (I want to be able to aim my gun with my hand, not purely head-tracked – I got used to Fallout 4 VR and wanted to create a similar experience in Fallout 3).

Sorry for coming back to this thread so late, got side-tracked with various things RL. I was really hoping a dev would reply but it’s okay

I’ve been tweaking this game for weeks now and just a few days ago, I discovered something that was literally a game changer. I’m not sure when Bethesda added this but it seems that in order to make custom setting changes and have them stick, you need to put them in the Fallout76Custom.ini, rather than where it was originally (to my knowledge) the Fallout76prefs.ini. This had been messing me up because any time I would try to change to a custom resolution, it would never stick–even changing the prefs.ini to read-only didn’t work; the game would undo the read-only change somehow.

Finally, I started looking into it and realized that custom changes go into the aptly named custom ini. I ignored it initially because it was completely blank, and this is the important part: Just by adding a single setting to this file (in my case, a custom resolution), after logging into the game and allowing Vorpx to change settings, it populated all of the changes that should have been taking effect originally. Suddenly I could see my weapon fully-rendered in 1st person! And my pipboy (arm-rendering included)! No longer were huge parts of my UI cut off! I honestly thought that was just the way it was with Vorpx in this game but I’m glad to say that just by putting a single setting into the custom.ini, Vorpx then knew to put it’s own settings in there as well and finally the game is mostly behaving like it’s supposed to with the profile Ralf made for it. (I’m guessing when he made the profile originally, they weren’t yet using the custom.ini thing?)

There are only two remaining issues so far: One of them is with the lockpick screen not showing when allowing Vorpx to auto-pick the resolution. The fix for this is setting it to a custom resolution. Since I only play in 1st person, I went with the highest 4:3 I could do which was 2880×2160, and all in all, it looks pretty damn good on my HP Reverb G2 headset. I also tried a 16:9 resolution too and it also rendered the lockpick screen, so it seems to be something with the auto-resolution option that’s doing it.

The other issue, that I have unfortunately been unable to figure out is with the strange graphics clipping/warping whenever I use a crafting station. Like, it will either shoot you through walls quite a distance away or even drop you through the floor if you’re unlucky (which may result in your death… yeah.) I’ve found that crouching while looking up as far as possible while approaching the crafting station, will sometimes put me where I’m supposed to be at the station, or at least it won’t throw me through the world. This has varying success and is currently the biggest hassle with playing this game in Vorpx (I dread crafting/repairing anything because of this). This also happens with computer terminals, but luckily, if you use the crouching method, it normally works much more consistently than with the crafting stations, for whatever reason.

Anyway, I hope this helps anyone else struggling with this game. This is a tough one to get running well, even on a capable PC like mine and I’ve conceded to using Z-normal for the FPS boost; it’s simply too slow with G3D and a decent resolution/settings (I’m using an overclocked 3080 with 12gb, for reference). It’s still an awesome experience though, once you get things tweaked to your liking.

Good luck!

Hi

– Cyberpunk 2077 (with VR mod, it was the main reason why I bought vorpX), but played maybe 1 hour, because it zooms view and very uncomfortable. Tried change settings but didn’t get good result.

Try to change 3D reconstruction mode from DirectVR to Z-normal. I have a very bad feeling with DirectVR, but it is really nice with Z-normal (even if 3D is slightly less nice). I don’t play in FullVR mode, but rather in Immersive mode with Mouse/KB/PAD. I use a 4:3 resolution, and ajust the screen zoom to be on the edge of my left/right vision.

– Fallout 76, same as Cyberpunk 2077;
I don’t play Fallout 76, but my Fallout 4 setting are similar to Cyberpunk.

I have not tried other games yet.

Hello,

Since december 2022, I can’t run Vorpx on my main PC properly both in HP Reverb G2 as Oculus Rift S (specs below).

Games like oblivion, fallout 3, fallout vegas skyrim… textures look blurred inside headset (I don’t know how to express it, it’s like a posterized image with much less quality) and all the games have much less performance even at minimum resolutions/quality. (on the monitor textures show properly, I don’t understand that)

When trying to run games in z normal or z adaptative, headset shows only colored lines on the image (on the monitor it shows perfectly again). What could be happenning?. I have made a clean vorpx reinstall without success.

Thank you in advance

VORPX 21.3.3

Hello,

I have version 21.3.3 of the Vorpx software which claims to support motion controls – and following various videos showing how to access the settings.

My Oculus Touch settings within Vorpx when a game is launched has no options for motion controls at all. I follow the menu screens but it appears Vorpx does not support the Meta Quest 2 touch controllers past button mapping.

I am trying to configure both Fallout 3 and Cyberpunk to include the gestures (which are included in version 21.3.3) however I have no options in my menus for configuring gestures at all.

If required, I can make a video showing what I see on my end, following guides, etc – I do not have the same menu options.

I followed the post here but couldn’t get the same options:

vorpX 22.1.0 Preview: Motion Controller Gestures

[fallusminimus]

i have bought the software yesterday and have spend roughly 5 hours now trying to get this to work.

– i start windows
– start htc vive pro
– start vorpx
– goto steam and start fallout 4

whatever i try, after a second my headset will shutdown – turn black and vorpx will throw the following error:

“OpenVR runtime init failed. vorpx will not work correctly. try to restart the game,steamvr or pc
OpenVR runtime error:
Vr sysem shutting down (119)(119)”

OR

“OpenVR runtime init failed. vorpx will not work correctly. try to restart the game,steamvr or pc
OpenVR runtime error:
Shared ipc compositor connect failed (306)(306)”

I disabled all other software as mentioned in the “basic troubleshooting” post.

My pc:

i5 13600k
rtx 4090
6000 ddr5

and using the htc vive pro 2. everything is updated.
i tried some combination in the general tab of vorpx config like
– dont optimize game settings
– run vorpx as admin
– installed hooking methods suggested by popup when it took too long.

also tried to launch with the game with different graphic/resolution pre-sets, all without a different result.

if anyone could help me out a bit it would be greatly appreciated1

Hello I’m a total Vorpx noob who purchased the program just a couple days ago. For my first game I want to play Fallout 3 GOTY (which I last played way back in 2009 on PS3) with a bunch of mods (through Vortex) that hopefully will make the experience better in VR.

I finally got the game running pretty well on my new 4080 PC (Quest 2 through Virtual Desktop) in 90hz which seems to get rid of most of the weird warp stutter I experienced on 120hz. Playing in Full VR G3D on Phenomenal graphic setting.

Now I’m looking for advice on the best mods for playing the game in VR, and perhaps also advice on what mods to avoid in case they should be game-breaking in Vorpx. That’s where you experienced Vorpx Vault Hunters hopefully enter the equation!

I’ve been looking at Nexus collections like “Rebirth+” and “Vanilla But Kinda Better” and just taking whatever mods I feel like from there. I think I’ll avoid TTW for now. Nexus collections are here:

https://next.nexusmods.com/fallout3/collections

Mods I’ve installed so far: FOSE, Command Extender, ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated, Updated Unofficial F3 Patch, F3 Tic Fix… just basic stuff to get it running. I tried RH Iron Sights but didn’t like how gigantic the weapons became while aiming and the annoying swaying.

I would greatly appreciate any help! Thank you.

For stuff like the pipboy little gestures like the wrist flip are perfect. Currently there is only an inwards flip, but at least up will come shortly in addition to that for two more possible actions. Not sure whether down/outwards make much sense for even more, feels a bit weird for my taste, but I guess it can‘t hurt. Also there will definitely be a backpack (inventory) gesture shortly.

I played a whole lot of Fallout 3, which is one of my alltime favorites, with motion controllers years ago, long before gestures. With Touch controllers admittedly, but Index shouldn‘t feel too different. Really boils down to getting used to it, you weren’t born with a gamepad in your hands either. Afterwards it’s truly human being with free hands (motion controllers) vs. squirrel nibbling nuts (gamepad). And that is without gestures. Add aiming down sights, throwing grenades etc. to that. I think you get the picture. Leave your comfort zone, pays off. I’m notorious for saying ‘can’t promise anything’ here fairly often, in this regard I can say the opposite with confidence. :)

Can‘t really imagine how vorpX might affect your VSync issue while not hooked into a game, but I‘ll double check that, of course.

So far the only games I can get to run is fallout 3 and oblivion everything else, even cyberpunk with and with out the mod you guys have on your page I get a white hourglass icon that spins and you here the music.

I have even tried lowering the graphics to the lowest settings available (which of course make the games look like trash) and still the same thing. I can watch 3d SBS movies find in it but I was able to do that in Bigscreen VR. and I can run VR games like skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR on high settings no issues.

[Retroactive]

So I have vorpx, just bought it today. I have tried it with games and 1 everything locks up where on the desktop it’s fine but in the headset it’s frozen. This is so far for ALL games I load except fallout 3. Im about to try cyberpunk with the mod here soon. 2, I cant get into any in game menus for vorpx cause it locks up.

I’ve been testing out this new headset (coming from a Quest 2) and I’m running into strange problems that I can’t figure out. For instance, I just tried playing Half-Life 2, which always ran near perfectly on the quest (even with Airlink), and I’m getting constant de-syncing and lag, and also some weird issue where I’m seeing flashing mirror images of my weapons at times. I have no idea what could be causing this behavior. It was pretty bad in Fallout 76 as well, to the point I couldn’t really play it.

I know this isn’t a PC spec issue (running a 3080 OC, with a more than capable CPU) and again, these games ran fine on the Quest 2.

Any idea of what could be causing a wired headset have lag and desync issues like this? Thanks in advance.

(For the record, I’ve been using it to play Everquest (one of the main reasons I bought the reverb since only WMR headsets will work with this game for some reasons) and apart from some gamma issues and needing to use a gamepad to bring up and use the Vorpx menu, it’s been working fine for that.)

The headset desktop res on the virtual monitor can be set independently from your physical monitor’s res to anything the virtual monitor supports, making it unnecesary to switch the desktop resolution before launching certain games in the first place.

SUPERB ! I wonder if the follwing case can be handled that way:
On my 1080ti together with my monitor i can use a maximum res of 4400 something in resolution asuming the monitor is the reason i cant gat higher. Would i then be able to run a game in 7680 x 4320 for example (max 1080ti res) ? Oh boy couldnt wait to test that on Fallout 3 :-)))))

[Sephael]

I think you should also check headsets with a smaller resolution and see if it’s not a better choice than the Reverb G2.
Real 3D in VR needs about double performances, as it will render twice (once for each eye). Meaning, if you get to run a game at 4k with steady 60 FPS, you will get round 30 fps in VR and it could be uncomfortable to watch as low fps could resulte as motion sickess for you.

I would like to point 2 important things :
First, resolution on your screen and it’s display in VR can look different; a 1080p on a 1080p screen can look clean, but inside the headset, it will look more blury and aliasez.
1440p looks OK in the G2, and 4k is nice.
Even with my 3090, i couldn’t run most games at 4K with high FPS and high graphics settings.

Second, concerning Fallout 4, this game does not have DLSS; wich is bad for VR as it help having a higher frame rate without loosing too much quality. I couldn’t run Fallout 4 at decent display and graphics with my 3090, so in the end, i bought Fallout 4 VR.
So if you want to run Fallout 4 in VR, be ready to reduce the graphic quality enough to get smooth FPS.
The good news is, Fallout 4 will have a free update from Bethesda this year, so let’s hope that they will include DLSS.

Is there any other games you would like to play with VorpX ?
Outside of Fallout 4, the original Mass Effect trilogie is one of my favorite experience; i wouldn’t be able to play this games flat anymore.

[Ralf]

There are two beginner’s guides in the vorpX help that explain the most important stuff, but Fallout 4 is one of the games where you actually don’t really need one. Except from dialing in graphics details and resolution to match your PC’s performance (rendering in stereo 3D is more demanding than rendering mono), all you have to do pressing a button after entering the game and vorpX takes care of the rest. Precise instructions are shown in the game window.

Gamepads work like they normally do after pressing said button.

This past weekend, prior to today’s update, I have been playing Fallout 76 in Geometry 3D mode.

Today, after installing the update, Geometry 3D looks the same as No 3D Reconstruction, with the exception that lighting effects and shadows shift location slightly, as if it’s trying to work but doesn’t properly kick in.

Z-Normal and Z-Adaptive work as before.

Perhaps the update changed some settings?
Or, is there a change that stopped Geometry working?

Appreciate any troubleshooting steps you can recommend.
