Hi everyone. So the fact is, I’m so totally new to VR, well not quite yet even. Actually, I’m currently researching on how to get into these ‘mid-end’ VR stuffs (my last experience was with google cardboard so that doesn’t count).

My goal is to be able to play The Hunter CotW and RDR 2 as immersively as possible. Well even on flat screen those two look breathtaking already, but I want to take it a bit/lot further. So I’m doing my research on which best VR headset in term of graphic, and I found that the G2 is probably the best pick as it’s still somewhat in my budget range.

So the ultimate question is, is vorpx compatible with the G2? How well does it perform? Anyone has ever tried this combination? Can you kindly share your experience? Thanks in advance!

Ralf, could you please also try to help me with the issue “How to get SoundSpectrum’s Aeon 3D Music Visualizer to successfully hook?” I posted this on the forum on Oct the 15th, but I have got no response to it yet. See below. This is very important to me and I would greatly appreciate your help. I just want to know whether or not it is even possible to get it working. Thanks in advance!

Was riding my horse toward Emerald Ranch last night & it started to rain, i love the weather effects in this game, so, riding along in the rain just watching the clouds & the birds when my entire vision flashes with a blue-ish white light then a fork of lightning strikes the ground over a small hill not too far in front of me, I’m still only in the first camp at horseshoe overlook but the amount of times already in this game in VR that has made me go “holy f*&%$£g s$%t” when something cool happens is becoming quite regular, even just wandering around camp listening to & taking part in all the different conversations is brilliant, R* really did a great job of making the world feel alive.

On another note i highly suggest that if you get a bounty on your head do not pay them off, having bounty hunters ambush you if you have your HUD off & don’t know they are there can lead to some great “oh s#%$” moments & fire fights (also suggest using free aim with no assists).

that’s AWESOME! I’m a big fan of Borderlands but I hadn’t tried Borderlands 3 since I wanted to play it VR but it was expensive. Now after reading this I’ve used the 10 euro coupon of EGS with Borderlands 3 and got it for 9,79 euro, really sweet for a game that can easily give you 30-40 hours of gameplay with the base game alone.

I can’t thank you enough Ralf, this kind of product support is incredible, no matter if any of those improvements get into the game, for you to even check it out and see if it can be improved is great.

Even if DirectVR doesn’t end making it into the profile, it was still good enough as it was so I will play it anyway in VR, however I really hope you can make DirectVR and FOV work. The thing is that after testing B3, when I go back to Bioshock Infinite DLC and play with perfectly smooth VR, no shaky cam effect, how easy is to forget how amazing DirectVR is.

You are very welcome, I recently done the mission where Arthur & Lenny get drunk at the saloon in Valentine, it is very cool & trippy in VR with the room going all bendy & warped as you get drunk, i walked in on Lenny getting it on with female Lenny, escaped the law & am now taking a slow walk back to Valentine where my horse Midknight is.

In the flat version of the game i would have just run there as fast as possible but in VR it is so immersive that sometimes i just can’t help but take a slow walk through the world.

The next part of this post contained inside the —‘s is my attempt to describe how even a simple slow walk to Valentine is in VR to try to help people get a sense of what it is like:

—

I’m walking down a dirt road surrounded by forest, birds crowing in my right ear, chirping in my left, the buzz of some flying insect buzzing around my head, crunching footsteps, a steam train chugging along somewhere in the distance & the low music track playing behind it all,

a couple of buffalo & deer running over the hills up ahead, horses coming down the road, guy being taken to jail in a caged wagon by two lawmen, “stay back from the wagon sir, we’re transporting a fugitive” one of them says as they ride on by, i let them be as i’m enjoying my walk,

i notice the bright coloured plants scattered here & there, reds, purples, yellows, whites, i hear a weird moaning sound to my right, i turn & see an American bison up the hill a bit, i get out the binoculars for a better view, lots of muscle on that (animals are much bigger in VR, sense of scale is great), guy rides right in front of my view & says something about me not being right in the head, i give him a polite greeting & compliment him on his nice looking horse, he goes on his way, i continue walking,

i scare a bird out of the long grass just to my left which makes me jump as it takes flight, no music now just the buzzing of insects, the chirping of birds & the crunching of footsteps, i see smoke to the right in the distance, not going there, spot a group of 5 deer having a munch not too far away, 1 of the deer looks me right in the binoculars as i am looking at them with eyes that seem to say ‘what you looking at?’, i continue on-wards,
two guys on horses, one pulls out a rifle & says something as they go by, i resist the urge to shoot him in the face & continue, i come to a crossroad with a wooden sign, i follow the arrow pointing to Valentine, i see a lonely dead looking tree a little past the crossroad, spooky looking,

i spot a berry bush, what could they be, red raspberry, yummy, pick a couple of nearby yarrow too then continue, train track just to the left of the road, rocky hills in the distance, open grassland with some rocky hills to the right, couple of deer watching me for any sign that i’m a threat, they turn & slowly amble away, snowy covered mountains coming into view, path splits with a wooden sign pointing toward Valentine, i obey the sign,

path crosses over the train tracks, man rides by moaning about something, wagon rides by, two guys out front & two guys inside, a beautiful white & a black horse doing the work of pulling them, more traffic now, getting closer to Valentine,

spot a crow on a rock, use binoculars for a good view, cool colour, mix of black & blue, flies off, path crosses back over the tracks, can clearly see Valentine now, hear an owl, check my platinum pocket watch, 16:05, guy on horse says”a whole lotta ugly business here” as he rides past some blood & human body parts,

the blood trail leads down a little slope past a tree to where there is part of a human corpse suspended from beneath the rail bridge, writing on the rocks near the corpse reads “Look on my works”, there is a human head stuck to a wooden pillar of the rail bridge by knife with something in its mouth, i take it out, the head falls to the ground, part of a map, i go back up the slope & continue toward Valentine,

i cross the tracks into Valentine, i can hear a telephone ringing coming from inside the train station, can almost smell the sheep, 2 guys having a smoke say hello as i walk by,
guy leaning against a post says “that queasy feeling you been having is cause there is so many O’Driscols about”, think i’m gonna punch this guy, “i’ve only gotta click my fingers & this town will string you up & call it justice” he says, he walks towards me saying “you want me to set you straight”, he pushes me, i say “look at you, a coward trying to play it tough,” “make yourself scarce” he says, i punch him in the face, knock him down, he gets up “damn it to hell” he whinges as he pushes me again, we trade several blows, i see his face getting bloodier up as i connect with punch after punch, i knock him down, he gets up, he knocks me down, i get up, we continue beating on each other, i land a left hook that knocks him out cold,

getting darker now, i check the time, 20:35, sound of a steam train whistle blowing, a couple of horses hitched & people standing, sitting, walking, chatting as i walk by houses that are lit up with flickering light from their various sources, Keane’s saloon door is open, tempting me to go in for a drink but no! i must be reunited with my Midknight (word of warning, you can become attached to your horse in VR, they are just so fn cool looking),
i turn onto the main street, the newspaper boy still trying to sell his paper at this time, the sheriff standing having a smoke in front of his office, i look further down the road & there she is, my Midknight, i sprint towards her as people come out of the saloon & others try to enter which ends up making one poor fella fall down the stairs & get covered in mud, “damn” he says as he gets up, a drunk guy gets on his horse as he says the place is full of cheats which his mate on another horse agrees with as they ride away, i watch the guy who fell down the stairs walk away & round the corner at the end of the street, walking as if he had defecated in his drawers,

i turn around, & look at my magnificent Midknight, about 2-3 heads higher than me, big beautiful beast, i pat her then go into the saloon for a drink to celebrate, lots of people in here, piano music playing a nice happy fast tune, barman talks about some lowlifes & about someone being pushed, maybe the guy that fell down the stairs, i order a beer & have a swig while looking at the pictures behind the bar,

i finish my beer then head outside & jump on Midknight & hitch her just over the road at the hotel as i need a bath & a room for some sleep, guy behind the desk remembers me from when i saved Karen, doesn’t want trouble, i pay for a bath, walking down the hall to the bath i hear some guy moaning, must be that guy who i walked in on sitting on the toilet when i was here before, poor guys pipes must be clogged,

got some help with my bath from a nice woman, told her i used to share baths with my dog copper, feeling nice & clean, i pay for a room, next door to the guy with the clogged pipes, & i get some sleep.

I’m not a great story teller by any stretch of the imagination but i hope i have managed to give a sense of just how immersive even something as simple as a slow walk back to Valentine can be in VR.

Info about what i’m using to play it: AMD Ryzen 3600 & RX 5700 XT using Oculus Rift S, my graphics settings i put to the highest resolution i can go to which is 1920 x 1080 & put the resolution scale as high as i could go without losing too much fps, TAA on high & TAA sharpness really high on the slide bar, for other settings i just put the main setting on ultra then lowered them one by one till i found my optimal performance + graphics.

For anyone interested the game is free to try this weekend on Steam, I checked it out and it hooked fine. Set it up to max res on Vorpx, FSR works at high and overall the game looks great, performance is not too good in geo3d as expected, but quite playable in z3d, slowly i’m starting to get used to z3d, it’s pretty solid and performance is just on another level, even though nothing beats geo3d for real depth and scale.

The only “bad” thing is that I’m completely spoiled with direcVR tracking, and since afaik Borderlands 3 doesn’t support it, there’s always some short of small shaky cam effect and no amount of mouse sensitivy tweaking seems to fix it. It’s playable but DirectVR tracking is just too good.

I had to use Letterbox 1 since it was too zoomed in for my liking even after setting FOV to max as suggested by the profile, and with letterbox 1 it’s basically perfect.

There’s an interesting tool called Unreal 4 engine unlocker that lets you access the console and set FOV by injecting the dll to the game: https://framedsc.github.io/GeneralGuides/universal_ue4_consoleunlocker.htm I gave it a try but didn’t work too well with Vorpx when activated, maybe someone will have better luck.

Overall pretty good, but since Borderlands 2 got a VR version, i thill i’ll hold since maybe PSVR2 for PS5 could get a B3 VR version, we’ll see.

Thank you for the tips, but in my opinion ETS2 has problems with aliasing even at 4K resolution, it seems to be a basic problem with the game engine. If we cannot get antialiasing to work, I will try to find another solution.

[Scotthans]

I first tried to play the demo, and the game would launch, but freeze on the loading screen. I figured since it’s the demo, I would have to buy the full game. So I purchased the game, and now the program won’t even hook. I tried using the alternative method, turning full-screen off, and checked the excluded programs. I noticed the only people who got it working were running the game prior to the FFXV 1.30 update.

Has anyone had success getting this game to run with vorpx since the latest patch?

All my other games work fine with vorpx except for this game.

[dellrifter22]

I see there are already some mods on Nexus to increase/customize both weapon viewmodel fov and driving in vehicles fov. These were the 2 main issues preventing an ideal FullVR mode experience in FC4&5.

If we can get some Z3D, this might be a good Far Cry to pick up. And no anti-cheat yet as far as I can tell.

[steph12]

another unreal engine 4 looking real good in Z3D.
you can use unreal engine unlocker to get custom fov if you wish
you can even tweak engine.ini if you wanna go beyond ultra, go on google to know how to do so.

enjoy.

I’m having the exact same issue with the new weapon fov/hide feature with Black Mesa. I tried reinstalling the game, restoring settings and profiles, even restoring Vorpx to factory default settings and it didn’t work. The only way to get it to work is by lowering Image Scale in Vorpx to exactly 0.90 from its default 1.0. It doesn’t appear to be impacting the world fov too much whilst still using the cached directVR. There is still a slight positional flicker with the gun, but it’s a hell of a lot better than having a 6 foot gun.

Thanks Ralf, I went through and double-checked for these types of apps and then fully uninstalled every single *anything* that potentially mucks around with GPU functions or overlays in any way. Even FPSVR, which I’ve long used with no ill-effects. (Amusingly, now that I’ve reinstalled FPSVR it has returned to functioning properly in native VR games but has stopped working in anything that uses vorpX; it just no longer displays. Oh well. Tackle that one later.)

No luck, I still get very poor HMD sync in Fast or Alt Fast modes and I’m worried at this point it may be one of the later HMD firmware updates from Pimax. There have been two of those fairly recently. I’ll run through installing some older versions of PiTool itself first, but I’m not hopeful.

I’ve got plenty of old SSDs just hanging around unused, so what I’ll do sometime soon is a complete clean-install test-run; Just Win10, PiTool, GPU drivers, vorpX & Steam/VR. It’s not a scenario that I look forward to, because if it works it’s going to mean countless hours manually migrating only my essential settings back to an otherwise clean install, but unless you have other ideas I think I’m at that point.

[mr_spongeworthy]

After a relatively long hiatus and a long series of hardware and software updates I have a VR rig that’s working extremely well.

However, at some point a problem crept-in with vorpX that I’ve yet to solve:

Fast and Alt Fast Sync used to work just fine to my Pimax 5K+ for me on my older rig, but on this one neither of those methods is working reliably. I’m getting flickering scenes, lack of sync, different frames in each eye, and that kind of thing. And while it’s somewhat related to overall GPU usage, it’s not any kind of a direct correlation (see below).

Important rig details: Ryzen 5900X and RTX 3080 Ti, 32GB ram. I’m on PiTool v.1.0.1.272_20210917, which I believe is a release-version (non-beta; or at least as non-beta as anything out of Pimax is!) Video drivers are up-to-date (and this issue has survived several updates thus far.)

I have excellent performance in native VR titles and things run nice and cool. I can push the GPU to nearly 100% all the time and it generally won’t even hit 80 degrees c. CPU likewise stays nice a cool (of course, it’s often sitting there not doing a whole lot in GPU heavy games anyway.) For example Alyx runs at 200+ Steam SS in Wide FOV totally without issue and often sees GPU usage clear up at 95+%. Cyberpunk (on my 3D display) will again run at 95%+ for hours. So I’m convinced this is a software issue, possibly an incompatibility between vorpX and my PiTool version? I’ve also tried manually under-clocking my GPU, just in case. Made no difference (beyond reducing my performance.)

More info: This issue *does* depend on the title: I’m having zero issues with Greedfall for example – I have it running at 72hz in virtual cinema mode with no motion smoothing. GPU is often pegged way up above 90% in this title, and everything remains perfect. In FO3 however, I’ve had to switch to “Safe” sync mode. Same for Cyberpunk. The problem worsens with either kind of motion-smoothing (vorpX or Brainwarp) enabled, but is not completely related to motion smoothing. It’s also somewhat related to total GPU usage, but it’s again not completely related to total GPU usage (see Greedfall example above). Both Fallout 3 and Cyberpunk are good examples of titles where I’m seeing this behavior, and I’m having to leave a huge amount of GPU power on-the-table now to get these games to display properly as I’ve now got both of them in Safe sync mode. In Fallout 3 I was pushing 4K, G3D, 45fps/90Hz using vorpX motion smoothing, on my 2080 Super with no issues. Now, on my 3080 Ti those exact same settings result in sync-glitches. (I currently have it running safe Sync mode, 64Hz, no motion smoothing). In Cyberpunk I’m having to leave tremendous GPU overhead in order to maintain a properly synced experience, since Safe mode causes the FPS in the game itself to drop considerably and either of the faster HMD sync modes causes significant sync issues. I can push the GPU usage a bit higher with motion-smoothing off before this issue presents itself. For example, in Cyberpunk, Fast or Alt Fast sync mode, motion smoothing ON, I might start to see this clear down around 50% or 60% usage. With motion smoothing OFF and still in Fast or Alt Fast sync mode I might be able to push as high as 70% GPU usage before I start to have problems. In Safe sync mode all is good but of course my overall frame-rate suffers greatly. I haven’t tested Fallout 4 yet (I have the VR version now, so I’m not really using vorpX for F04 at this point.) I’ve picked-up Life is Strange True Colors recently, so I’ll test that soon.

Sorry for the incredibly long post, but it’s a weird issue and varies considerably title-to-title.

Is there a specific PiTool version I should be trying to use? Any other info on how I might try to get Fast or Alt Fast sync modes to work correctly again?

Thank you!

I really cant get a g3d profile to work on the forest.Even z- profiles dont seem to work. Does a user have an idea?

[Mike323]

I Cant run any apps trough steam Vr.
I Got Riftcat app on the computer and headset that wont connect and trinus apps installed that wont connect gamepad support thats blocked and htc_rr thats blocked and steam vr keeps blocking them everytime i restart no matter if i unblock them.
Iam trying to get to run pc games on the Lenovo Mirage Solo bussiness edition headset.
To make things even worse i cant pair the headset via tethered mode with cable becouse they removed the Mtp file sharing function via usb so you only got the choice run usb as Midi or for charging
so wify is the only option that remains and the only app that works is steamlink and i dont fancy running games on a viritual desktop.
It does install the drivers for usb connection but it doesent show up as a device besides the hardrive.
This companys that make money out of monopolising industries and strangle hardware have no shame.
They take peoples money and run and dont deliver.
