Thanks again for testing. None of that looks how it should look. Normally you would see a 10%, maybe 15% in some cases, difference between ‘Generic Headset’ and ‘SteamVR’.

Might be worth a shot to reset your vorpX settings as well as your SteamVR settings. I don’t really have a idea what might cause this for you, but your results are not how it should look. Also check whether maybe some performance related parameters have changed when switching between SteamVR and ‘Generic Headset’, e.g, the game resolution, that might for example be the case in Fallout 4 where vorpX sets the resolution and FOV automatically.

If you have all graphics settings cranked up to the max in the games you tried, it’s also worth a try to reduce them for testing, just in case your GPU runs out of memory with game+vorpX+SteamVR.

I’m moving this thread to the technical support sub-forum, I think it fits better there. Looks more like some technical problem than a performance enhancing trick.

I’ll check this and let you know if I can replicate the behavior somehow.

Other game like that is Fallout 4. In G3D it runs at 20FPS via SteamVr but with Generic VR and no SteamVR it runs G3D locked 60fps

First and foremost: use purchased games. Who knows how your cracks work and what they do. Some may for example use different .exe names than the legit game or call some other .exe that vorpX is unaware of. Both cases would prevent vorpX from working correctly since it would not be able to recognize a game. And there are almost certainly more potential issues a crack could cause that I’m unaware of.

That said:

Please try a full factory reset in the config app. There is no cloud profile required for Fallout 4.

Apart from that in case of hooking issues most likely there is a conflict with some other program. In the vast majority of cases that is the problem. You can find more detailed information on the matter in the trouble shooting post on top of this sub forum.

Also checking the ‘Alternative Hooking’ option in the config app is worth a shot. Caveat: even if it helps with a particular game, don’t forget to switch back. It’s not better per se, and some games definitely require the defauzlt method.

… and again. I`m using pimax 4k, installed pitool, steam vr, windows security is blocked in group policy.
checked basic trouble shooting giude and unistalled msi afterburner and skype.
So initially i had the first issues with gtaV, and after the removal of msi afterburner and skype vorpx loads gtaV defaul profile and started correctly in full vr mode.
Now i am trying fallout 4 with the defaul profile (no cloud profile imported), and vorpx loads the game in 2D immersive screen mode…
the first attempt I have made, was to copy the original profile and reassign the fallout4.exe
-nothing’s happened-
the second attempt was creating shortcut as described in trouble shooting giude
-nothing’s happened-
the same problem with ace combact 7 (using cloud profile)…
just for info those are cracked games…

thanks

So Fallout NV is working pretty well, but whenever I bring up the PIP boy it appears colossal and right in front of my face. It makes it pretty much impossible to interact with the PIP boy in any meaningful way.

Any ideas how I can change just the PIP boy but leave the rest as it is? I tried playing around with it a bit but nothing seems to make the PIP appear at a larger distance/ smaller to make it so I can interact with it.

Fallout NV has full 6DOF tracking. For the best possible head tracking please make sure to run the DirectVR scanner after entering the game world. You should see an according hint in the top left corner of the game window as well as in the headset.

Controller: VR controllers can be used as gamepad or to emulate mouse/kb, configurable in the vorpX menu (presslong DEL opens the menu).

If you haven’t done so already, you may also want check the ‘Essential Hints Guide’ in the vorpX help. It explains a few basic concepts.

Trying to figure out how to play games in roomscale using my Index controllers (Fallout New Vegas). Or does Vorpx only support games sitting using kbm/ console controller?

First let me say that WOW – Fallout 76 looks amazing in VorpX. I am really excited to try this game out now that the Wastelanders expansion has been released. I am however having an issue. It seems that whenever I go to a terminal (computer) in the game, it tries to enter terminal mode and instead pulls me right through the computer and I fall though the floor. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix or settings adjustment? I am using the offical VorpX profile for the game. Thanks in advance!

[Ralf]

Please simply select your preferred quality in the vorpX menu in Fallout 3. You don’t have to care about anything else.

Whenever vorpX can set the resolution it shows an according message in the top left corner of the game window and you can select a preferred quality in the vorpX menu. That is the case for Fallout 3 and there is nothing else you have to do.

If vorpX can’t handle resolutions, you set them manually in the game options like you would normally when playing a game on a your monitor.

[Ralf]

Games run at the resolution you set (or vorpX in case of games where it can do that). In your case Fallout 3 runs with the 2660*2128 you see in the ini.

The preset you select in the vorpX menu does not necessarily translate 1:1 to the actual game res. When vorpX computes the final res various settings are factored in. Hence the hint in the menu that says the actual res may differ.

TLDR: All is well and working as it is supposed to.

Thanks for the reply and answers.

Just need some clarification on the resolution.
How can I tell vorpx is changing the game resolution?
fallout3.ini is set to 2660*2128(if this is vorpx, why 5:4?) but vorpx is saying 2600p(maybe I read this wrong but I am pretty sure it says 2600p. I will check later tonight).
2660 is pretty close to 2600 so I want to say vorpx is directly editing the .ini itself.
The fallout 3 launcher is only giving me the options 1920*1440 as well but I think this is unrelated.

Is vorpx overriding game resolution in this case?

So, adding higher custom resolutions will allow be to bump up the resolution in the .ini. Or, vorpx should give me options higher than 2600?

Lastly, when adding custom resolutions, should I strive for 4:3 or 5:4? I see that your instructions mention 4:3 and widescreen but if in fact vorpx is editing my .ini for me, it is choosing 5:4. Thanks.

After a couple other hours of searching around, I have found answers to some of my questions. Hopefully someone sees this comment before they start typing. However, my other questions still need answering.

1. Yes there is a built in fps counter. Use Alt-F to display it.

4. I see that there are custom resolutions. Is this the way to crank out extra resolution? As I understand it, vorpx’s resolution in directVR overrides internal game resolution right? The resolutions in vorpx is based on display resolution? I am running 2560*1440 right now. DirectVR resolution is set to 2600p(max value I can select). Is this working as intended? Fallout 3’s ini has the resolution set to 2660*2128. This is being overridden right? Basically, I want a higher resolution. How do I do this?

8. From one video I watched, there seems to be a built in mechanism that limits y-axis movement using a mouse or gamepad. However, it isn’t perfect. One solution I came across was to use an old-fashioned ball mouse and disable the vertical sensor. Seems like an extreme way to solve the problem. There must be a way to block all vertical input from a normal mouse right?

[hauntinghelix]

I know some of these questions have probably already been answered but I have searched the forums for the past hour and haven’t found answers.

1. How is everyone tracking FPS? Is there a builtin FPS counter? Will fpsVR suffice?

2. Do I need to limit my fps in any way?

3. How to apply a downloaded profile? I imported the vorpx profile. Does that mean it’s applied automatically?

4. How to max out resolution? Do I simply push the game’s internal resolution as far as I can? I have the resolution setting in the vorpx(in-game menu) set to the max value 2600p. Does this override the game resolution? Is this the HMD’s resolution?

5. Is there a preference for whether games should be in windowed mode or fullscreen?

6. Will Nvidia’s Dynamic Super Resolution improve resolution in games using vorpx?

7. Will steamVr’s super sampling help?

8. I am playing Fallout 3. When I move my mouse horizontally, there is a jitter(yes sorry for another jitter thread). There is no jitter with headtracking. I can move the mouse in the y-axis just a tiny amount. I feel like if I disable all y-axis movement with the mouse, the jitter will disappear. Is there a way to do that? If not, any advice on getting rid of the jitter? Gameplay is so smooth wit headtracking but I want to mouse/gamepad to be just as smooth.

Thanks for your time.

In Fallout 76 most of the time only half of the inventory is viewable but sometimes it is scaled correctly and you can see it all. Is there a setting to get it resized or something so it can all be seen?

Also, when accessing a workbench it shifts to third person and the character falls through the floor. Anyone have an idea how to prevent that?

[hemingwaysghost]

With some games, most recently Fallout 76, the game will freeze or lock up until I alt tab or switch to desktop mode and click on the window the game is in. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
