Not a new 3D reconstruction method, but something that simplifies setting up games tremendously and enhances the overall experience.

To not make an ultra large secret out of it: it’s a hugely expanded and refined “Direct Head Tracking” (name will change since it does more now), which previously was only available a bit hidden for Fallout 4 to test the basics. For games that fully support this, it gives perfect 1:1 rotational head tracking, perfectly calculated FOV and in some cases also positional tracking (which means finally positional tracking for Z3D modes!) simply by pressing a button and then waiting a few seconds. Expect about 30 games with this in the next update.

Simply put: no more configuration hassles + better head tracking for games that support this feature.

I vote for a top priority with this profile game,at the time of their arrival time of launch (October).
Every day,count time remaining and I wonder if we will be able to make better use of hardware with the new version of Skyrim (remastered),with some improvements, including 64bit version.

My main goal with Vorpx,fully well above any other existing games,are definitely Bethesda games (full vr and 3D geometry),with the help of some mods and tweaks. (Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3 / NV / 4)

I recently got a new GTX 1080. I still I have doubts whether this unit and return to jump or not,Titan x pascal and i7 6700k cpu …

Hello, thanks for making vorpX, I’m not sure how long you could just live in oculus home before getting bored. I am trying to get FO4 running using the rift CV1 and vorpX 16.2.0, here is where I am at:

Rift working OK – no issues, can do all the usual VR things through oculus home ect.
I have managed to get the vorpX desktop viewer working OK. very nice for movies.
Set-up FO4 through the vorpX interface, and set up the profile.
Disabled windows defender, and have added all the voprX .exe’s to Malwarebytes exclusions and even turned it off.
In the windows services I have disabled anything that I have seen recommended to be off for vorpX.
Reduced from 3 to 1 monitor.
Disabled all MODS for FO4.
Created a vorpX shortcut also.

So when I launch from Steam the pre-loader window opens, when I click on play the load window disappears, then comes back, and so on.

When I access the FO4 exe directly I get the long permissions error.

I have been looking at this on and off most of the weekend, but with no luck. Am I looking for a needle in a haystack? or have others had issues similar to mine?

Thanks for your help with this in advance… Cheers

It might work despite the warning that is shown (depends on how exactly the d3d9.dll that you put into the Fallout 3 hooks the game), but if not, there is nothing that can be done.

Since such an override DLL almost certainly hooks some of the functions that vorpX needs to hook, there is no way to handle such a case in a controlled manner, hence the warning is shown. Under normal circumstances there should never be any system DLL override in a game directory.

Hey,

When I run FNV a few issues I have are I can’t see the menu because it’s zoomed in, low FPS (even though I have a high end PC), and when I look around it takes awhile for the display to catch up.

Has anyone managed to get their settings just right?

[Ralf]

With some luck the Fallout 4 profile may give basic support, although that’s not very likely in this case. Even if it works to a degree: good profiles always require game specific work to deal with shadows, HUD and other shader fixes.

So while you might be able to get it working to a degree, it would be a far cry from the current normal Skyrim profile.

I do not know what happened – but nothing works any more without being able to tell you if and what I changed. Genuine Oculus supported games still work fine (Assetto Corsa, Projects Cars etc). As soon as I start VorpX Control and try to start Vorpx Control supported games it does not work any more:
Fallout 4: Image on just one eye.
Battlefield 4: Image on just one eye – picture is headfirst. Engaging virtual cinema brings normal image.
CS: Global Offensive: Black screen. Alt-Tabbing out and then into the game shortly shows sandwatch in oculus lower right.
CS: HL2 Engine: See CS: Global Offensive.

Any suggestions on how to fix these problems?

Trying to get two steam games that are on the supported list to work and they are failing to start. I have both vive and oculus rift cv1 head sets to test with and both give the similar results. The games in question start ok without vorpx running. Read through the troubleshooting options in vorpx and the post on the forums, disabling antivirus, aero and other windows services, no other overlay apps running, no steam overlay, tried changing many settings in game outside of vorpx to see if that helps, swapping out of cinema mode and cycling between the 3d modes – geometry/z/z adapt doesn’t help. Recently upgrade from a GTX780 to 1080 but same results on both video cards.

Risen – this starts ok in cinema mode but shows all black screen. Never renders game. Switching out of cinema mode and cycling between the 3d modes – geometry/z/z adapt doesn’t help, display stays black.

Dark Messiah of Might & Magic – this crashes to desktop on start consistently after showing the main game menu scene with the character rendered, seems to want to work but then just crashes.

System info:
Windows 7
ASUS nVidia GTX1080 Founders Edition
Intel i5 2500k
24GB RAM
Windows defender / Microsoft security essentials

Games that I have tested to work for me currently:
Fallout4
Skyrim
Oblivion
Dirt 3
Torchlight 2
Bastion

vorpX cannot work correctly if another DLL also hooks into the game. d3d9.dll is a system dll that normally only should be present in the Windows system folder as part of the OS. Overriding it with a DLL in the game folder will likely make vorpX stop working, hence you see the warning about that.

I haven’t tried Fallout 3 on Windows 10 yet myself, but if there is no other way to make the game work on Windows 10 than copying a d3d9.dll to the game folder, you may be out of luck in this case.

[Foxpur]

To get my (Steam) Fallout 3 on Windows 10 to even start up I needed to add the d3d9.dll file. Without it I can’t go past the basic game menu, it just crashed 100% of the time…
However, this means there is no way to load VorpX to use it in 3D…

Any suggestions

Hi Ralf,

This was on a modded install. It’s fine on a monitor/no memory cap issues, but the stereo rendering seems to take a lot more memory than I thought it was.

On a separate note, I found out why Fallout 4 started crashing. The Nvidia cards seem to randomly have issues with the game recognizing the card/driver. This has been reported going back to the 700 series.

I tried all the suggestions/fixes but whatever combo of driver/F4 updates happened, I can no longer select the 5/4 or 4/3 resolutions. Even manually inputting the resolution isn’t enough.

None of the other games do this for me. Just Fallout 4.

You sure you arent Yoda? Because you just got me to lift the proverbial X wing out of the swamp…or at least the wool from my eyes ;)

With the multicore/affinity thing unfortunately ruled out, I dove back into the numbers and thanks to finally getting Skyrim Performance monitor working CORRECTLY with VorpX and showing me good data, I made one hell of an interesting discovery.

In the picture linked below…

…the framerates arent registering but this run was in the upper teens to lower 20s in Skyrim in Markarth. That is with EVERYTHING turned up full. Maximum possible load with the intent of making the system work as hard as possible. The 4790K @ 4.7 Ghz is the red line in the lower chart. CPU bind is not the problem. The Titan is the black line that never hits 60% usage. Clearly it isn’t the problem.

But look at the green line on top. Thats Bill gates freaking 4 gig DX9 cap in windows 10 ruining the party. ENBoost is reserving the other 500ish meg thats not being shown. It’s a memory problem. Memory appears to be the only thing stopping VorpX/Geometry from running this config far above 45FPS and likely well above 90.

All the dips are when looking at high detail areas. Things that I had believed to be a draw call problem. But look at the CPU. It’s not remotely stressed.

When I looked at this before, it was with the really big texture packs installed and hit that cap, which I expected with the Antialiasing/weather/lighting mods. But my current load is on stock size textures. When I switch back to monitor, Skyrim is barely over 2 gig of memory use. Between the ram requirements of Skyrim and VorpX though, it’s hitting Billy’s asinine limit.

So it looks like from what I can tell, Geometry mode/draw calls arent the main issue. An 8Ghz CPU and 4 titans would be meaningless. It’s purely a memory wall.

Skyrim Remastered cannot get here fast enough. Well, if nothing else, this has been a learning experience for me.

I’m redownloading Fallout 4 now for a stock reinstall. Since it seems there’s nothing more I can do for Skyrim till the remaster releases, I might as well start digging into Fallout to see what I’ll be in for when it releases.

Hi Ralf,

Got a tech question. I’m planning for an upgrade to either X99 or Z170/Kaby Lake and 3-4000MHz ram, from my Z87/4790K@4.7/2400MHz ram system. I have been reading about core assignment and affinities lately and I am wondering about getting a 6 or 8 core and assigning VorpX to 2/4 cores of it’s own and Skyrim/Fallout/whatever to the other 2/4.

Is VorpX more CPU or GPU heavy? Since I’m topped out with a TitanXP without going the SLI route, and with Skyrim Remastered releasing next month, I’m looking where to go next for better performance out of VorpX/VR. So it’s either another TitanXP or more than 4 cores and overclocking.

Help me Obi-Wan! You’re my only hope! ;

These aren’t all FPS games, but are excellent picks:

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is AWESOME in VR if you’re into mystery adventures
Elite Dangerous if you like space exploration games
The Elder Scrolls Series – primarily Skyrim.
Fallout 4
The Batman Arkham Series
Metro 2033
Call of Duty Black Ops 1-3, Battlefield 3-4 and even Hardline, Any Splinter Cell or Crysis game
Alien Isolation
Quake I-III
Half Life 2
Portal
The Witcher 1 and 2 if you like extended campaign games that will suck all your time, not sure if Witcher III is manageable at acceptable graphics levels
Bioshock: Infinite
Borderlands
GTA IV and V
and to tickle your fear of heights check out Mirror’s Edge

Essentially if your computer can run it, and it’s built on a major game engine like Unreal, Unity, and quite a few others – it’ll play in VorpX. The less popular it is the more tweaking you’ll have to do though because it won’t have been done already by someone else. Once you get used to the Vorpx in game menu you’ll be able to get games to run. Whether you get a true stereoscopic experience depends on how the game was coded though.

I’m sure that’s clear as mud now.. lol. But hopefully there are a couple of games on there you can check out that are well established as compatible.

VorpX Supported Games

Probably something different then. The driver issue applied to almost every game, not just Fallout 4 and was Vive exclusive, Rift always worked. Usually games crashed after a short time in the game (<1 minute).

Just did a little test run with the latest FO4 (~10 minutes running across the map, GTX1080, Vive), but nothing to report except being killed by one of those giant mosquitos, which really look disgusting up close…

So maybe it’s indeed something Titan exclusive. If it only happens in FO4, something game config related seems more likely to me though. The usual drill for any Bethesda game would be to first and foremost get rid of any mods for testing, especially those using a script extender or (ENB) graphics enhancements.
