Hi Adam!

Don’t give up, it will surely work!

The main reason, why the game crashes at startup, use to be, that you are online! Please note, that when I say “offline mode” it doesn’t only refer to choosing “launch the game in offline mode” on the HUD when you are already in the game, but it also refers to Uplay! So, before launching Far Cry 4 exe file, launch Uplay first, and switch online mode to OFFLINE! VorpX won’t work otherwise and the game immidiatelly crashes in online mode.

To those, who either have a startup crash problem OR the problem, that you can not make the game run on the Rift’s screen, again, please make sure, that all the following parameters are set OK:

1. Make sure, that the rift is properly installed. I use the rift the way, that in my desktop/VGA settings:
– DK2 and my monitor are side by side (monitor is the first and next to it on the right there is the DK2),
– DK2 is in portrait mode and NOT landscape
– In resolution options DK2 is set to 1920X1080 AND 75 Hz (this is essential!)
– My DK2 is set to be secondary screen (apart from some rare cases as exceptions, I think DK2 doesn’t need to be set as primary screen!)

2. WITHOUT launching VorpX you must launch the game first and make the following settings properly:
– aspect ratio: auto
– resolution 1920×1080
– screen: FULLSCREEN (NOT borderless or windowed!)
– refresh rate: 60 Hz (as there is not an option for 75 Hz, but if anybody knows, how to upscale this to 75 Hz, please, tell me)

Before exiting the game, SAVE the changes!

3. Set the rift to extended mode and disable OR Service.

4. BEFORE launching FC4 exe, launch Uplay and switch it to OFFLINE mode! Disabling the overlay can not hurt either.

5. BEFORE launching FC4 exe, launch VorpX and enter general configuration. The most important thing there is to set “SHOW ON RIFT DK2” and NOT “use system settings”! This is highly important, otherwise you can run into the same problem, that the game won’t show up on your rift’s screen, only on your monitor!

I also use the following settings turned ON:
– Disable Aero on game start
– Restore desktop windows

I also had the problem, as some other commenters mentioned too, that in the game everything was “too close”, and it made me a headache quite soon. To avoid this you can create optimal view by harmonizing the following settings:
– Increasing FOV in VorpX Game Settings Optimizer menu (for my taste, FOV 130 worked much better, and resulted a more comfotable gameplay, than FOV 120)
– Altering vignette scale and image zoom settings ingame through VorpX control panel
– Switching between lens A and lens B settings

I hope, that the guide above helped in solving FC4 – DK2 problems to all of you!

Keeping all these instructions I think there is no way to fail playing FC4 on DK2.

Please, write some feedback, how you succeeded.

Greetings!

Adamwalker13: Did you get it to work?
I’ve tried everything in this thread but the game crashes as it loads. All I get is the FarCry 4 splash screen on my desktop monitor then it crashes. Nothing ever shows up on the rift.

Hello, I’m begging anyone out there to please post there settings for games that work really good with the new vorpx? Please, Please, Please! I was going to purchase it for FPS games like BF4, Far cry 3 & 4. I also have a mag 2 gun controller that works great with all FPS shooters that can easily decouple with a button press your head and gun movement. Everyone that owns the DK2 should definitely get one of these fps gun controllers.

Hi!

I think I found a solution, at least worked for me. The problem was, that for some reason, among special conditions (alt-tabing or maybe else) ingame settings fullscreen mode sometimes turns to borderless, and I didn’t notice that also happened in my game settings.

So, for me the following steps made it OK on DK2:

1. Enter the game first without launching VorpX, and you make sure to have these settings: aspect ratio: auto; refresh rate: 60 Hz; screen: fullscreen (NOT windowed or borderless!).
2. Save the changes and quit the game to desktop.
3. Set the rift to extended, and pause the service in configuration utility.
4. Launch VorpX (make sure VorpX was updated to the latest build).
5. Launch Far Cry 4 in offline mode.

I hope this helped!

p.s.: The game makes terrible nausea for me in the rift, however I tried to alter several VorpX settings (image zoom, vignette scale, etc). It would be really usefull, if somebody made a little guide about the VorpX options and how the lower or higher alterations of these settings one by one will take an effect in the game

Far cry 4 worked great, Setup tips

FOV, HUD and mouse Fix
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 4\GamerProfile.xml
set FOVScaleFactor= 1.8
set SafeFrameAreaWidth=”0.15″
set SafeFrameAreaHeight=”0.3″
set MouseAccelerationOn, MouseAcceleration, Smoothness, Smoothness_Ironsight UseMouseSmooth to 0

although the HUD may be hard to read, its the correct size, its just that the rift isn’t good showing detail around the edges

a cheat engine file has option to remove spread, this makes the crosshair size much better, but vorpx doens’t allow alt-tabbing with this game to change the cheatengine options.

Issues:
Driving FOV is bad, try ADS or looking right/left.

Havn’t tried myself, however there appears to be an in-built FOV setting.

they say to use flawlesswidescreen for more FOV but that program doens’t work atm.

does vorpx support geometry 3D in this game? if so try using the 3D FOV enhancement.

After discovering the entire Far Cry series on Steam for $10.00, I’m ready to dive into configuring Far Cry 3 with VorpX. It loaded up without a hitch. But the FOV is too zoomed in, and the mouse head tracking is too sensitive. But before I start messing around, does anyone have settings they can recommend? I’ll follow up with my own settings later. Thanks!

I thought Crysis 1-3 were supported now by Oculus? Im having trouble access the Vorpx menu in this game even if I create a shortcut via Vorpx :( It seems to run ok but the view is way tooooo far zoomed in and I cant seem to get the tracking working :(

[Dukealicious]

Ya Crysis 3 works really well with vorpx, it does make me anxious for CV1 though. The graphics are great and the environments are very detailed it just begs for a clearer screen. This and Bioshock Infinite are my showcase games so far. I think the FOV settings for your gun and arms are separate in the ini file. Ill have to look into it but I bet they can be tweaked.

I’ve been messing with vorpx since yesterday. Had a REALLY hard time trying to figure out how it worked. Could get Far Cry 3 to display the vorpx screens and stereoscopy but only on my monitor…Dirt 3 wasn’t doing anything at all.

Only when i tried DIRT2 i managed to get it working. I know now you really have to have your rift setup as the primary monitor BUT you can alt-tab and put your monitor back as primary once the game is launched.

I used to race a lot with tridef on both dirt2 and 3 so i know how important it is to find the sweetspot with seperation, the fov etc…

All in all vorpx seemed to be as good as tridef in dirt 2 once i got it working….

ANYWAY…DIRT 3 isnt’ doing anything. The hook isn’t working. Does anybody have ANY idea as to what might be going wrong?

The game runs very smooth on my GTX660 and it accepts Mouse and Gamepad simultaneously, which makes the experience quite nice.

There are just two things: 3D is not working. VorpX menue show Z-mode or adaptive mode, but unfortunately the picture stays flat. I tried troubleshooting and resetted the settings in the VorpX-Configuration Menue (which helped with the same issue I had with Oblivion), but on Far Cry 2 it makes no difference.

The other issue: FOV seems a bit to narrow for me. I searched the web but found nothing,what could help here. It seems you can’t change the FOV in game version 1.03 with an ini-tweak. The only thing which helps a bit at the moment is to set VorpX-rendering to Letterbox-format.

Does someone have an idea how to tweak the FOV?

[bdiepeveen]

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.

Iv been having the same issues as you when trying to get the gamepad to work properly. The way vorpx handles gamepad imputs doesnt alow for deep customization which is fine since there are programs like xpadder that fill that need. However the problem still persists because the internal gamepad seems to have inputs for buttons that simply cant be remapped and it seems to be causing problems with xpadder. When I start a game the gamepad works flawlessly but as soon as I hit the left thumbstick it brings up a weird vorpx menu with numbers that dont seem to serve any function and after I close that all my buttons are messed up. I cant run anymore, sheathing weapons makes me run forward indefinitely and the start and select buttons do other random things.

As a side note, these issues seem to only affect skyrim and farcry 3 as apposed to bioshock infinite, borderlands 2 and COD MW3 which work flawlessly.
