I realise that the dll should not be there by default, i have put it there.. if you refrence this article It will show you that this is a fix to make the game run on windows 8, and it does, and is the only way i am able to play the game, is there no workaround for this? Has anyone been able to play Fallout 3 on Windows 8 using the VorpX Driver?

There shouldn’t be a d3d9.dll present in your Fallout 3 directory (or any game directory) with the fresh install. That is a system .dll, it absolutely does not belong in a game directory. I’m 100% sure that Fallout 3 does not install that .dll in its game directory.

vorpX hooks into this system dll, that is why it cannot run with the dll present in the game directory. If the game only starts with the dll present, there has to something wrong. Did you try to reinstall DirectX? Sounds like there is something seriously wrong with DirectX on your system if you need to manually copy d3d dlls.

No fresh install, game will not play without having the dll present, regardless of changing .ini files as other fourms have suggested.. once placing dll .. game works fine, but driver doesnt.. i seem to have a one or other type situation going on here.. which is very dissapointing as it is the only reason i have bought the driver..

[Ralf]

No, sorry. vorpX will not work while a d3d9.dll is present in the Fallout directory. In Fallout 3 this usually indicates the usage of an ENB mod. If this is true for you, you have to remove the ENB mod or even try with a clean, mod-less Fallout 3.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I just purchased the Driver, and am trying to get Fallout 3 up and running.. I am using windows 8. The problem is – to get the game running i need to add d3d9.dll to the source Fallout folder to make it run .. and it runs perfectly – Alternatively i cant have it in there to make VorpX work.. is there any known work around for this?

Thanks

If the config app and the doc viewer do not start, you should try to reinstall/repair the Microsoft doNet Framework 3.5. Both programs need it.

The Fallout NV problem might be caused by your gamepad. If you have a gamepad attached to your PC, disable it in the Fallout NV optios menu. vorpX has its own gamepad emulation, so you can still use it although it is deactivated in the game.

Hope that helps.

Hej,

i just downloaded the Vorpx driver and launched it.
It starts keeps telling, is already running.

When i right click on the icon i can select show help and Configure Vorpx.
When i click an Configure, it says: “VorpConfig doesnt work” and the same problem appears when i click on show help, it says :”DocViewer doesnt work”

And i tried to play Fallout New Vegas.
I can actually play it, but headtracking and stuff don’t work.
So i can’t look around in the game.

Please can someboy help me? ._.

@ l1nc : One of the next updates will allow to remap EdgePeek to antoher key, in case you want to use the MMB for FalloutNVs normal functionality.

@ ScarletSpirit : It should work under normal circumstances. If you have any mods installed, you could try with a clean istall and see whether that helps. Especially using the Fallout Script Extender (FOSE) might cause any number of strange issues.

Oh right, I get it now…
Vorpx won’t recognize Fallout NV whilst the d3d9.dll is in the folder, but the game crashes in that way when I’ve removed it…

Incompatible for the moment then?

Lolz…

[ScarletSpirit]

Got it to start (you were right about the d3d9.dll that found it’s way into my Fallout NV folder Ralph) but now it crashes as soon as I get to a game.
I initially tried to load a saved game, that crashed as soon as the loading screen was done, then I tried a new game, got through all the cut scenes (very cool) but then again it goes loading screen and crashes as soon as you would enter first person in-game.
I’ve tried all the 3d modes (Z-Adaptive etc).
Any thoughts?

I have rooted out the culprit in this matter. Turns out it was middle click. Middle click is “toggle” edge look as well as (for New Vegas) toggle camera. After changing the camera button to try and remove an added variable I found that middle click was still changing the game. Then after realizing my assumption that edge look had to be held, it quickly became apparent that every time I had been switching to 3rd person view, I would switch back and be right back in edge look mode.

I believe it best for anyone who is just learning vorpx for the first time as I was to remember to first play a simple game you are comfortable with and know all the different settings for. Then while adapting to vorpx it becomes easier to align the 3d and to learn a bit about your own eyesight and how to configure other devices to work with you.

[l1nc]

Just to confirm, I am able to play New Vegas with Vorpx. I am still fine tuning a few of the options though. For instance, when I look in a direction, my view will shift all the way to the edge of the screen. I think it must be something to do with 1) my mouses’ custom sensitivity (Logitech g600) 2) in game sensitivity (1-10bars) and 3) vorpx head-tracking sensitivity.

But I digress. The point is that it works and it works quite well at that. I am really appreciating all of the different settings available with this driver.

[Ralf]

Unfortunately that’s not possible. But your Fallout 3 problem can be solved. You have to disable the gamepad in Fallouts game options, and then use ‘Handle gamepads internally’. That should do the trick.

Unfortunately the current vorpX version has a bug that prevents you from remapping the gamepad buttons. That will be solved with the first update in a few days.

Hope that helps.

Is there any way to map the edge peek to a (360) controller button without setting ‘Handle gamepads internally’ to on as turning that on makes the view spin out uncontrollably in Fallout 3 for me.

Thanks

Hi ScarletSpirit,

Please make sure that you do not have any d3d9.dll in your Fallout NV folder (for example from an ENB mod), which conflicts with vorpX.

If you create shortcuts, you should create them for the main .EXE, not the launcher. In case of New Vegas that would be FalloutNV.exe.

If that doesn’t help: There are problems with Steam, which affect seemingly random games on different machines. Maybe that’s the case here. This is being worked on and will be fixed (hopefully in all cases) with the next update, due sometime next week.

Hope, that helps.
