Topic: Fallout 3 Controller Bug
After switching from Lounge to Full VR mode in Fallout 3 (looks and runs fantastic with FO3 @ 4K, thanks!) I have been plagued with one problem; numerous functions of my XBox controller no longer function after the Direct VR scan. I finally remembered that Fallout 3 has a bug where if you disconnect / reconnect a controller many functions stop working. I can no longer drop items or place custom map markers, for example. But this disconnect/reconnect process appears to happen each time I run the DirectVR scan?
Is there any way for me to fix this?
Topic: Idea for VorpX
Hello, Ralf!
First of all, thank you for creating VorpX, to be honest, it was quite difficult to use it at first, every game was complicated to set up, but with each new try I learned new things about VorpX that I applied and eventually I came to know how to use it and appreciate its full potential in my games. I was able to discover my favorite game (Dishonored) in a completely new light thanks to you, so thank you for all your work, you have created an incredible software!I’m writing this post to suggest you to add a new feature that will easily improve the appearance of games in VorpX: “Color Filters”.
To be more precise, I am thinking about integrating a LUT system into VorpX because it is very easy to customize for users and it will take almost no space in the VorpX interface!I will explain what it is, ReShade or ENB users often use it, in fact a LUT is a png image that can be easily manipulated in Photoshop, Gimp or even ReShade and allows to apply important color changes to any game. Everything can be modified for example : invert colors, put black and white, add contrast, remove a color too present (less yellow in “Two Ex HR” or “Vampire Bloodlines” for example) it also allows to adapt colors with specific palettes to help color blind people to better distinguish some colors for example. In short, a LUT can change everything and in a quite easy way for the users, you just have to modify an image!
Here are some tutorials on how to create one for use in ReShade :

https://framedsc.github.io/ReshadeGuides/lutgenguide.htmThis is what the png of an LUT looks like:

Just take a picture of a game, add the png of a blank LUT over it and make the changes you want on any image editing software or with ReShade. The LUT will also take its modifications and transcribe them into a color filter in the game (thanks to ReShade or ENB).
In VorpX, I imagine a new “Color Filter” menu in the “Image Settings” tab where you can choose to apply a predefined LUT or a custom LUT. The png’s of the LUT’s are all stored in “My Documents” in the VorpX folder where they can be modified by users or left as is if they wish.

If you want to see a more concrete example, I invite you to use ReShade to try the MultilUT effect to see the different possibilities and why not let you create such an effect to see how easy it is to do (there is LUT.fx in the ReShade shaders if you want to see what the code looks like and a blank LUT png in the textures called “lut.png”).
Here are many examples of color palettes created and usable in games using LUTs:

https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1498Voila, I know you probably have a lot of other more important things to do to improve VorpX (I’m the first to look forward to them) but I think the easily customizable color filters would be a really interesting addition, it can really improve the look and feel of a game and even more in virtual reality!
Don’t hesitate to ask me questions, all this text has been translated with “Google translate” because I don’t speak English (I’m French) so it may not be very understandable.
I can also create LUTs for VorpX if you need them of course!
EDIT: If you don’t have the time or desire to create a LUT system there is also an alternative solution, it would be enough to allow to use ReShade with VorpX (VorpX would use the game image already modified by Reshade before applying its own modification for the VR) it would allow to use all the color effects you want (be careful, the effects that need to use the “Z-Buffer” like Ray Tracing or MXAO probably won’t work, you’ll have to limit yourself to simpler effects).
Well, as of yesterday everything worked perfectly for me in Fallout 3, but as of today DirectVR scans fail every single time. I failed to pay sufficient attention to my Windows 10 updates and it auto-installed an update when I restarted the rig this morning. Normally I go in and manually delay updates for as long as possible, and then do that again and again until I actually have time to Clonezilla my boot-drive so that I have a working clone. But I failed in my duties to postpone Microsoft’s forced and all-too-frequently-destructive updates. I do have a recent manually created restore point, so I can do that. I’ve restarted, yadda yadda yadda, but it does look to me as if the only thing that changed between yesterday and today was that Windows update. (SteamVR also updated recently, but that was early yesterday and things were still working fine after that).
Any thoughts on how to fix this other than to try and use the restore point? In the past I have not found those to be 100% reliable (hence my preference for Clonezilla), so if this is a known problem with a solution I would prefer to do that.
