No it doesn’t work in 3d. but in 1600 X 1200 with letterbox2 in vorpx with a little zoom that really fun. i see on the web Hoopermation’s video play in 3d with the fix of the nvidia 3dvision (Helixmod) and vorpx !! i have the 3d vision but i can’t find any solution…there a conflict with the d3d11.dll when start the game with vorpx .

Hi Ralf !! Really nice work !! Oblivion !! BF4 !! Skyrim …!!Thanks a lot
so can we have a Z3D for Farcry Primal ??

Hello, I haven’t purchased this program yet but I probably will in the near future when my CV1 arrives in a few weeks.

I signed up for this specifically because VorpX appear to be a must purchase with the Oculus Rift. I am planning to buy the CV1 but won’t have a delivery until July or perhaps by end of summer 2016. Can we assume that Vorpx will evolve and support the consumer version of the Oculus Rift? The Rift + VorpX looks like the deciding factor for me in terms of which way to go as far as experimenting with VR technology.

I am an avid Nvidia 3D Vision user using a 120 Inch projector setup for some real immersive gaming experiences. I have been active in the Nvidia 3D Vision forums and the work that the community has done on game fixes and tweaks for 3D Stereoscopic is mind blowing. Dead Space series in 3D Vision on a 120 Inch screen is just amazing and has to be experienced to appreciate. I’ve seen a user inject the 3D Vision fix with Far Cry Primal along with VorpX to obtain good results.

Far Cry Primal + VorpX + 3D Vision Fix

Question for anyone here, can these fixes be useful with VorpX? The 3D Vision fixes has ini files that can be set to inject or chain DLL’s. You have to visit the two links that I included in the body of this post. The scope of all that has been done in the last several years is a must look for those that are interested in real immersive gaming for the PC.

VR appears to be steps forward in immersive gaming and based on some Youtube videos of users using VorpX with the Rift, this seems like the right fit for me. Room scaling for the Vive seems half baked to me and while it has glowing reviews, I cannot justify the extra cost for this especially for the first time I am spending any money on VR technology. I suspect I should get several hours of enjoyment with VorpX and the Rift even though it’s not fully refined. Anyone who has this kind of setup, please give me your thoughts and comments for the amount of enjoyment, if any that you’ve had. I realize this cost will be more experimental into VR gaming until the industry matures.

Cheers all!

Hi. Yes. You must start vorpx then start farcry primal by Uplay. In game fov 120.
That’s all !!

[laarson1888]

I have noticed this game on Youtube on the Dk2 , anyone know how to get this running on the rift?

[adisplinter]

That’s a nice trick. Thanks a lot man, I tried every other possible solution to launch Far Cry 4 with VorpX and it crashed at start-up every time. Disabled Uplay overlay, gone offline, disable Steam overlay, MSI afterburner, antivirus, everything…VorpX desktop shortcut for better hook chance…nothing worked. I almost gave up, re-enabled all overlays and tried your solution, resuming Watcher after the loading bar passed 50%…VorpX hooked, launched campaign, tweaked settings for perfect image…works flawlessly.

Also I might add that Far Cry 4 is a good game to be played with VorpX:
– minimum zoomed-in effect due to high FOV setting, especially combined with Letterbox 2
– very well optimized, runs great oh high settings
– visible HUD in-game on DK2 thanks to VorpX’s Game Settings optimizer for Far Cry 4
– very nice experience with driving, gliding, combat
– great graphics, atmosphere, physics…it’s a Far Cry game after all

Vorpx was working fine for me in every game

Skyrim
Zombiu
Dirt 3
Aliens vs predator 3
Penumbra
Amnesia
Bfbc2
Alien isolation
Necrovision
Gtaiv
Gtav
Bf3/4
Payday 2
Far cry 3/4

Then after the 0.9.1 version I got the error “unnable to initiate oculus runtime”, this was because the new driver invalidated every occulus runtime version below version 7.

Now only Skyrim and Zombiu work.

Updating to windows 10 made every game on steam and several others crash instantly upon starting, despite them working perfectly before the update to 0.9.1. and after several days of troubleshooting I am certain the problem is privilege related, to uncontingent framework dependencies, and those are basically just i/o. What really changed was not changed by me.

Im guessing the reason you couldnt use clone screen but used direct to HMD is the same reason i am getting the crashes, because the process that simulates direct to hmd is what is malfunctioning.

So I am instead forced to do a system restore to fix this, but the vorpx autoupdater is a pain, I have to be offline to use it.

If there was an option to not update beyond a certain patch i would be very grateful, at the current time whatever features are added do not matter because i am unnable to run almost any games with them anyway.

In windows 10 there is slight mouseacceleration which makes it unservicable for practising counterstrike unreal tournament or starcraft II at a competitive level, and i am not talking about the improved pointer precision feature.

I would bore you with links and videos of how i can compete at any level with the occulus rift as the FOV inflation makes you extremely accurate (try it for yourself if you dont believe me!) but giving an alternative just for me and a couple of others who struggle with windows 10 is a longshot anyway.

The reason i dont mind using direct to HMD is because i have gotten extremely good at running it, first i turn the HMD on, then i use launchy to start executibles using touch such as Vorpx, i never have to see them even open. For windows i close one eye and have perfect perception, i have to admit it was very difficult in the beginning and i understand the efficiency is much greater with the “Direct HMD access from apps” mode, but the compatability renders this useless for consumers that are not developers.

Are you certain 0.9.1. works with the games i have listed?

Either way vorpx is the best software for vr gaming, the customization perticularly with the real time IPD, 2d FOV and headtracking sensitivity was worth every penny i spent, when fully optimized i can play for days and not get motionsickness, so thank you deerly Ralf and the vorpx team.

@Ralf:

Although Vorpx hadn’t been sandboxed I think some windows files had and that seems to be the cause. It’s stopped corrupting now.

Still don’t know why vorpx isn’t setting the FOV on games using the optimiser. It’s saying it has but not reflected in the game. I’m setting FOV manually at the moment.

@adisplinter

IPD really made a difference with Metro LL but I didn’t realise the FOV wasn’t being set in other games like Arma 3 and Crysis 3. Can only go so far using the vorpx FOV/image zoom so I have to manually edit the FOV for these games. Arma 3 looks correct since manually editing FOV to 120.

My IPD of 67 I got via my Oculus rift profile (after doing the calibration.

Serious Sam 3 looks great on vorpx.

[feathers632]

I’ve been spending time with Crysis 3, Arma III and other games and all have this zoomed in view that makes them unplayable. Adjusting FOV to 120 doesn’t help here and IPD also doesn’t make any difference.

So it seems like the only way I can play these games is with cinema mode which isn’t as immersive and I can’t look all around me.

I’m really starting to feel like I’m wasting my time with it. Trying to reduce the zoomed in view on every game. I use the game optimisations and in some cases manually edit the game’s FOV but the games still don’t look right.

Does it make a difference which Nvidia graphics driver? I’m using an older one: 350.12

The whole thing is starting to really annoy me because it’s so far removed from the visuals I get with native oculus games.

One very important thing regarding the “zoomed in” effect, that almost everyone misses, including me, is calibrating IPD in vorpX’s ingame menu. So do calibrate your IPD following the on-screen instructions, trust me…it does wonders to the resulting image both for FOV and 3D depth and presence feeling.

I tried a few games like Crysis, Fallout 3, BF3, BF4 etc and no matter what methods I used for improving FOV, including FOV enhancement tools and vorpX’s FOV options and zoom, it still felt a bit “zoomed in”, especially on close range objects.
So after finishing the whole BF3 campaign using Flawless Widescreen set to max FOV, Letterbox 1 aspect ratio, 2D FOV-Enhancement and 85 % image zoom, I started BF4 (same settings) which had better 3D definition but after playing for a while, the “zoomed in” feeling became kind of annoying and broke the immersion. Besides that I also got some blurry vision for half an hour after playing, until my eyes readjusted.

Then I started messing with Calibrate IPD option from page 2 (display) and found that 64.00 which is the default average for most males was wrong, so I re-calibrated using the on-screen instructions and ended up at 60.75 where the cross was perfectly visible and most clear (I do not suffer from any vision issues, I see very sharp, near and far).I was stunned by the result as the “zoomed-in” issue was completely gone, the FOV was just like as in an Oculus native supported game like Alien Isolation or HL2. I was stunned even more when I instantly noticed a huge improvement to 3D depth, the distance from my face to every object in the 3D environment was very clear which is a huge boost for presence feeling. And after playing for a couple of hours without any pause, when I exited, the blurry vision was greatly diminished and it completely disappeared in 1-2 minutes.

So this is the most important thing to do besides setting the FOV. You might end up higher than me, closer to 62-63…in my case, might be the VR Cover cloth which I applied over the DK2 and puts a bit of higher distance between the lens and the eyes, although the VR native games didn’t gave me any problems with the 64 IPD default setting in Oculus profile. I’m not sure how that is possible, maybe it differs from one game to the next, but the result is amazing.

Looks like you’re right! Every game has been massively zoomed-in and even after I spent hours last night following the advice to change FOV in game, in vorpx or by modding game ini, it made absolutely no difference. So after finding your advice here I went in to metro ll and adjusted the IPD (haven’t used the in-game calibrate yet – i simply increased the IPD and now the game doesn’t look zoomed in anymore. Also changed the z-buffer mode and increased 3d effect. So many people are posting here about zoomed-in problems and the standard advice to mod FOV isn’t working. Well done for sorting it out!

I have the weirdest problem ever. I used vorpx for a few days to watch videos and play Far Cry 3 without problems (except the hooking prob in 64bit MPC). But since yesterday there’s nothing displayed in the DK2 except the Health Warning at the Start! Everything is clearly getting hooked, the Blue Light is turned on and the Health Warning is shown. But nothing else! And it doesn’t matter if videos or games, it just stays black. It’s driving me crazy because I know this is hard to believe. I had absolutely NO system changes (Win7 64bit, Geforce 970 latest Drivers) and the DK2 works fine with everything else (Demo Scene, other Stuff). I’m totally stumped here…please help anybody!

@ Karlor : Not sure if I understand the question. What do you mean by ‘spectator other screen display thing’? If that means the mirror window, you should be able to use it with just a little performance impact. Normally there should be no need to adjust settings to use it.

@ Nikolay : In general the raw FPS are about 10-20% lower than before due to the far more complicated rendering pipeline that was necessary for the Direct Mode. but that’s countered by the async timewarp, which makes things still look smoother. Can’t really imagine Mirror’s Edge at 120fps in G3D on your 960. With a GTX970 it always ran around 60 before in the start area. Crysis 3 didn’t have G3D before, 15-20 still sounds quite low even for a GTX960 in Crysis 3. With a GTX970 the game runs at about 35-40fps in the start area (ship in rain) when using Geometry 3D. Low settings IIRC. From testing various GPUs I would say a GTX970 is a reasonable recommendation, it’s also what Oculus suggests for the Rift in general.

You could also take a look at the Reddit thread linked below for advanced tweaking, a similar advanced tweaking sticky will follow here shortly:

vorpX 0.9 performance tip: custom 8:9 resolution
byu/eVRydayVR inoculus

@ Cy : That sounds odd, especially since it happens in games that run perfectly fine at 75fps. Anything special about your setup (SLI, Optimus or uncommon in any other way)? Can you make a video of this? A frame by frame analysis might be helpful to at least understand what’s happening. I could provide you with an FTP account to upload it.

Hello,
I tried to use Far Cry 4 with Vorpx 0.8.1 and Oculus runtime v6.0.1 and 5.0.1 and extended desktop (landscape flipped 1920×1080 standard) and no matter how far the game launch I started it would crash every time.
So I cant think of anything else and I need help plz :)

Thanks

Currently,I have problems with 3d z buffer(z Normal/z-adaptative)in two games,
these games are far cry 4 and Battlefield 4.
Far Cry 4 certainly shows no 3d for me,never.
Battlefield 4 produces a flicker every few seconds or interference,causing loss of 3d,even vorpx ingame menu.
These errors are reported,but we are waiting for some solution.

On the Metro titles,the situation for me is:
Metro 2033 standard version:
3D Geometry in dx9 (Yes) 3D Geometry in DX11(No)
3D Z-normal/adaptative DX9(Yes) 3D Z-normal/adaptative in DX11(Yes)

Metro Last Light standard(complete edition):
Geometry in DX9(No) Geometry in DX11(No)Also causes blackscreen in DX9(vorpx)
3d Z-Normal/adaptative in DX9(No) DX11(Yes)
This tittle,clearly need revision to vorpx geometry.

Metro 2033 redux:
Geometry in DX9(No) Geometry in DX11(No)
3D Z-normal/adaptative in DX9(Yes) 3D Z-normal/adaptative in DX11(Yes)

Metro Last Light redux:
3D Geometry in DX11(No)
3D Z-Normal/adaptative in DX11(Yes)

All tested on i7 3770K oc4,2 and NVIDIA GTX 980 g1 gaming,oculus rift dk2,
Windows 8.1

Thanks grumdark for the suggestion on MSAA however it still wont kick in to stereo 3d. I am not sure the 3d-z is working in other games either for me. Is farCry 4 a zbuffer game? If it is I also get no 3d. Also no luck with Metro 2033 redux. Geometry works fine where that is applicable. As you can see, I bought a lot of games on Steam’s summer sale to try with Vorpx :). So far Mirrors edge works well in geometry as well as Borderlands. I guess I could switch those to z-3d and see what happens. ill report back once I try them.

[Grumdark]

Ok Ralf,I understand that,but the problem of UI/GUI is only one of several problems.

Anyway, when I write (UI scale / depth)is just an example,I refer to the HUD is not visibly represented in dk2.
If to achieve this,use an alternative method such as at the entry tweak optimizer u other,I also served well.(This is just an example…)

Also I made sure to appoint in the aforementioned games,titles that are operating today in oculus dk1/dk2(with visible hud)with other current or former 3d driver.
As this is the forum vorpx and not that of other drivers, at first I prefer not to be naming them, what I mean is that you can change the HUD safely (except possibly two or three titles mentioned)
I checked,but prefer to use vorpx for other extra features.

Edge peek mode is a good choice for a specific time,but when a player has to observe a minimap for example, this is not the most appropriate, whenever possible change this.

Cinema virtual mode, I think so too, when no other option or choice, use thus less permissive games and also for third person games, but as I say, the games name most are games where and check before it possible (except two or three).
For me, the good part of the 3d drivers is to enjoy some titles in first person view,in virtual reality,at least those that are possible,as I have mentioned.
Cinema virtual mode,It is only a complement to my.

Apart from this, problems with Metro Last Light dx9,fallout 3/nv,and shadows in Far Cry 3…are separate issues,which could also see that there are solutions to this day working,but I can not implement my own hands vorpx in all cases.
For my limited knowledge, and parts of vorpx where I have no access.

The part that I do not like, is the knowledge that vorpx is the best tool, better than many people think, but not having a functional profiles or securities in cases where this if possible.(for vr mode)
Forcing just have to use another driver … for just a few simple changes.
please,sorry my english.
