I’m having similair issue’s but only with a few games,
These games work for me :
Fallout New Vegas
FarCry 3 & Blood Dragon
Mirrors Edge(but not steam version)
Garry’s Mod
DayZ
Stalker Call of Pripyat(but shows a blackscreen can hear sounds tough)
Battlefield 3
Crysis 3
F.E.A.R – wich launches with vorpx but runs on my normal screen not the rift even tough the rift is primary display.
Games that do not seem to trigger vorpx:
Bioshock Infinite – the game launches but is not running via vorpx
F.E.A.R 2 – Crashes at startup but briefly triggers vorpx.
Thank you, Ralf. Resetting the game profile helped!
It’s cool that the FOV-issue can be solved, because the self resetting of the FOV also happens, when people talk to you and you switch back after answering or returning from ingame-menues.
But I have another question: So 3D-rendering is working now, but I had to switch of all shadwos, because in geometry-mode they are flickering or better said, there are stereoskopic rendering problems.
Do you think this problem can be solved for geometry-mode? I also had to turn of HDR-lighting, because there are stereoskopic issues too with the bloom effect. This is sad, because 3D in Oblivion looks really impressive and shadows and better lighting would be much appreciated. ;-)
Rendering in Z-Mode does solve this problems, but then the FOV seems a bit to narrow, even when it’s set to 120.
And a last question: Do you think it’s possible to enhance Oblivion and Fallout 3 with positional tracking? This really helps a lot for immersion and preventing simulator sickness. Would be very, very cool when this could be done.
Some games reset themselves to default settings after a crash or just an unperfect exit to desktop, which from time to time can happen. That probably is what you experienced.
New Vegas does not work currently with the DK2 and vorpX unfortunately. Details in this thread: http://www.vorpx.com/forums/topic/fallout-new-vegas/
Hello,
Just got my DK2 and have been trying like mad to get Fallout NV to work. I am using the latest software from Oculus and this is on a freshly rebuilt Windows 7 64x with only drivers and Windows updates installed. I have tried setting Fallout New Vegas as posted in other forums, but always get “Failed To Initialize renderer. Your display doesn’t support the selected resolution. please set a different resolution in Fallout New Vegas”.
I was wondering if anyone is able to play Fallout New Vegas on the DK2? If so what correct settings should i be using?
I was able to find a fix for Fallout crashes…sounds quite feasable…you might want to try it and let us know if it solved your problem.

Yup found it too after some research, thanks for being helpful, bud!
here is the fix for Fallout 3 – I have 8 cores in CPU so this lowers it to two and it doesn’t crash any more:
Open up the fallout.ini file in: My Documents\My Games\Fallout3
Find the line:
bUseThreadedAI=0
change it to:
bUseThreadedAI=1
Add another line after it and insert:
iNumHWThreads=2
This will limit the game to 2 cores and prevent the engine bug from causing the game to freeze.
*If the game still crashes write this iNumHWThreads=1
EnJoY!!!

Fallout 3 – Game of the Year edition. Can you please add support to that, it keeps crashing on me while in DK2. Thanks!
I remember I used to get crashing on that game often too without vorpx. It was on an AMD CPU with AMD GPU. I now have intel i5 and nvidia GPU and I tried it with vorpx and it works fine for me. If you are overclocking anything turn off all overclocking and try that first, otherise the game just might be favoring either intel cpu or nvidia gpu. I don’t think there’s much ralph can do because I can play it without issues and the 3D is sxcellent btw.

Everything is working except that he needs to get VorpX to support native DK2 resolution over extended to DK2 and not primary. Head tracking is working as well, it breaks sometimes yes, like in Fallout 3 I can’t understand either head tracking breaks or the game freezes… but yeah DK2 is new and first steps are being made. Its all messy and cheesy but thats what alphas usually are either its a VR device or a driver.
Please see if you can work on VorpX so that it supports DK2 natural resolution while in extended mode and NOT primary monitor.
Fallout 3 – Game of the Year Edition – keeps crashing as soon as I get into game. Got myself passed cutscenes in normal mode but its crashing the game itself. Laters.
Fallout 3 crashes as soon as main video ends when baby starts crying… that’s the furthest I got so far. At this point VorpX is quite useless. Hopefully you can get it to better support good games and soon.
thanks. Another problem – got the Foallout 3 to work on extended, but 1920×1080 crashes, I tried one down – 1680×945 and it worked. Fallout 3 doesn’t have the weird scale issue, Skyrim does. I wonder why… I’ll try to disable profile. Hmm, for some reason VorpX Config now crashes too.. the heck is going on tonight.. lol :).
disabled Nvidia 3D, didnt help. Also tried to run Fallout 3 and if I pick “Show only on Rift DK2” I get error – Failed to initialize renderer. Unknown error creating the Gamebrio Renderer. It works fine if I do on main screen or even on all screens (Clone) but it wont show in DK2 then.
Do I need to run DK2 as primary monitor? Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to run Skyrim with DK2. I have everything else setup, can run demos for DK2 no problem. But can’t get games to run under VorpX. I’ll also gonna be trying Fallout 3 if I can get Skyrim to run.
