I’l start by saying i have used VorpX with the Oculus DK2 and now with the Oculus CV1. I have played Alien Isolation and Half-Life 2 on the DK2 no problem even at the max resolution the DK2 could display and LOVED IT. 60 fps or 75? i beleive it was, was also no problem and i made sure the game made that target by tweaking some graphics settings, still ran it at high settings.
Now i have the CV1 and i cannot get any game to work at higher then 45 fps, even after turning off all the options VorpX has, so turned off head tracking, 3D (depth buffer etc to off), FluidSync everything off so basicly its like running the game normally performance whise (or so i thought). Even when turning down the resolution to 640×480 it does not run more than 45 fps and can even dip during gameplay.
Without VorpX i can run the game FEAR for instance at max settings with about 200 fps at 1920×1080 but with VorpX enabled no more than 45 fps, for some reason it seems stuck no matter what i do.
What is happening? Can someone help me diagnose this problem i cannot seem to pinpoint it.
Extra info:
– Tested on both an AMD R9 290X 4GB and now on Nvidia GTX 970
– Tested without MSI Afterburner running
– Tested without Steam overlay
– Tested without Reshade
– Tested before and after updating Windows 10 to the latest creators update
– Checked if Game DVR for windows is off and it is disabled
– Turned resolution down to 640×480 and lowest settings in FEARIs there anything else i can try? I know VorpX is really fast because it was with the DK2 when using the z-buffer. Now without 3D 640×480 does not even run, something weird is going on.
Does anyone have any ideas? I want to experience Half-Life 2 and Alien Isolation again on CV1! It was the best experience i had to date even if it was just on the DK2.
Topic: Any headway on UE4 support?
Some UE4 titles won’t even let VorpX hook into it but won’t run in SteamVR theater mode either such as Outlast 2. Curious Ralph, if you’re making any headway on the engine support? My monitor is just a bit too small for gaming so am getting anxious for this support.
I’ve gone through the pinned trouble shooting thread and done all of the steps in the FAQ. It hooked once for GTAV the first attempt I made, but was unplayable as it had the IPD waaay to far apart to even read the the VorpX orverlay menu to adjust it, so I exited. Since then I haven’t been able to get anything I’ve tried to hook. Settings are applied on the monitor normally and seem to work, but the game never displays on the HMD. SteamVR stays in the Steam VR home environment and never starts loading. I’m at a loss as to why it worked once and then never again, even after following all the troubleshooting. Any ideas? If a specific game to target the troubleshooting would help, I’d love to get ARMA III working first, or GTAV. Thanks.
Topic: No cloud profiles available
Hello!
I was trying to get Empyrion:Galactic Survival to work in Vorpx, and had seen that some folks have had luck in using the 7 Days to Die or Osiris:New Dawn profiles.
When trying to access the cloud through Vorpx Config to download them, I am getting no games listed in the window at all. I am showing that I am properly connected to the cloud. I have logged out and back in through the window. I have even gone so far as to uninstall Vorpx, reinstall and reactivate, and log back in.
Thus far, I am having no luck at all. Are the cloud servers having a problem today, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your time!
Topic: Thumbs up from a pioneer
I guess I’m as close to a VR pioneer as it comes. I’ve been experiencing 3D and VR for about 20 years now. My first HMD, which I still have and use, is a Emagin Z800. I’ve had the DK’s 1 and 2 and now the Oculus CV1 with touch. I’ve used VorpX for about a year now. Still surprising how some older games are so great in VR and some are still better just playing in 3D on my DLP projector. In my opinion, great games that are also great in VorpX VR, are few and far between. The ones that are real gems make it all worth while because they have so much more content and replay ability. A few games that are like that for me are. F.E.A.R. and the old opengl game Star Trek Elite force. Was a delightful surprise to get Elite Force to work, I have all the community mods for that game, and have been playing it in VR for many years on my old system. Crazy how that game is so wonderful in VR, the 3D is perfect and fully supported. There are so many games from back then that are better VR experiences than a lot of the made for VR games today. Many of those games are earlier versions of Direct X and not supported by the VorpX driver. Would be great to get support for older direct X games. I would even purchase as an in app add on. Another great in app purchase would be voice recognition with programmable keystroke replacement ability. For my old set-up I use my Microsoft Game Voice. Would be great to have a modern equivalent to that.
