Occasionally while playing in desktop mode, my mouse would stop working. Unplug and replug does not fix the issue. When this happened, only a hard pc reset will fix it. This will happen almost 100% of the time when playing Halo Infinite. Sometimes 5 minutes into the game, sometimes 40 minutes.
This does not happen if I play on a monitor.
Wondering if anyone have the same issue and any workarounds/fixes available.

I always pause Vorpx watcher when using desktop mode.
Well ive been tweaking and testing for a little while now, and scouring these forums and a few other sites ive hit some interesting issues.
My Vive + Vorpx configuration seems to work the best when the custom window size is TALLER rather than wider – odd but the pixel density is tightest like this.
For some odd reason, the picture quality is AMAZING in geometry when i run FO4 with a custom resolution of 1080×1440. (window, set in Nvidia custom res.)
If i lower the height of the window, i get bad pixelation – but with that exact height, i get really good quality, and the fps is 45-65 with geometry on, full vr.
Im happy to run it like this, it looks amazing and plays well, minor stutter in heavy built up places.
Im interested in finding out why the geometry stutters so badly at higher resolutions, and depending on where you are looking – the Nuka world dlc map in Fallout has very little structures in it, so the fps is decent enough to run Geometry in 1920×1440 res at 45 fps – but as soon as i enter an area with houses or lots of trees it tanks. Is it the cpu or gpu thats struggling here? Should i be lowering texture resolution or finding LOD / draw distance tweaks?
Im basically trying to figure out the best way to tweak my config files for each mode.
Z3d is ALOT faster, as i read many times here, but i cant make the 3d look “right”, and the config files from the cloud ive tried dont seem to make the picture look natural – there is a lot of distortion.
I downloaded a cloud profile for “Ark Survival Evolved” called “The Isle” and this put Ark on a curved screen, a slight distance from the VR “centre” and has geometry and Z3d support and looks amazing, but i cant seem to simulate that with Fo4 – different games and all that i know.
If i can run Z3d with a decent enough looking depth that would be awesome, but i cant get Fo4 or Skyrim to look like 3d – i either end up with depth but strange mirror like halos around everything, or i get a cardboard cut out like depth XD
Is there some sort of generic guide here that i havent found about the basics of the Z3d mode and what sort of settings im looking at? A sort of, set this to this, and slide that to that and then adjust this bar to get the depth type guide?
Finally got a couple of hours to get stuck into this last night. Wow. Night City in VR is absolutely breathtaking.
Thanks for all the hard work on this. I’m lucky enough to have a fairly high end system and the experience is really something. It’s great to have all the options – I find myself alternating between Z-Normal and full 3D rendering. The world is unbelievably compelling and engrossing (and oddly unsettling too), just walking to places has recaptured some of the original amazement I felt when first getting into VR back in 2016.
Top stuff.
Performance seems good to me, my aging brain is too fuzzy to be troubled by AER and halo artifacts so it all looks great. I do have 1 question tho. When I select a Narrow custom resolution like 2048×2160, the horizontal FoV is noticably reduced compared to a 4×3 res like 2240×1680. Is this the expected behaviour?
i need help, advice, anything. i tried vorpx on a few games and they play great. halo 4 is my favorite. today i purchased halo infinite and the following is what happened…
i played the game normal without vorpx for the first 20 min to make sure all is good. then i began playing with vorpx and set it for immersive mode with head tracking off. i fine tuned the screen and set the in game fov to max and graphics to low. smoooooth as butter and absolutely beast! i love it so much however, from time to time the frames just drop to 4ish frames per second and the graphics start to look terrible . i mean its literally a side show. i think it has something to do when passing checkpoints where the game has to load?
Personally I wouldn’t consider no antialiasing looking better, but if it’s OK for you, that’s a viable option, of course.
You’re officially the first person I’ve seen that has this opinion. =) It so much better for clarity and sharpness. Things shimmer a bit more but lowering the DLSS sharpness to 0 and FSR sharpening to .25 helps. It totally counters the AFR halo artifacts which look much worse. IMO
Tried this mod, it looks great but im getting glitchy graphics, there is a ghost around objects that’s in really low resolution & pixelated. Only turning off the 3d gets rid of it. It seems worse on objects up close. Any suggestions?
Yeah, we commonly call those artifacts, or halos, or just distortion. It unfortunately turns out that even in AFR mode you’ll get them due to Cyberpunk using TAA for antialiasing, and there is no G3D mode (would probably be useless in this title anyway, as G3D reduces performance so much). So you have 2 choices, AFR or Z3D, both of which have drawbacks. I prefer the Z3D in Cyberpunk over AFR; fewer artifacts and slightly better performance; plus no AFR ‘flickering’ which happens at lower frame-rates.
The list is shorter currently than I’d like it to be, will check some more first person games shortly together with adding gestures. Got somewhat shoved to the backseat when I started to experiment with gestures. Same for the related authoring UI.
With the current detection mechanism my guess would be that it should be possible to add the feature to maybe half the G3D first person games. Additional manual authoring based on shaders or buffers is thinkable and would probably be able to catch most of the other half, but would also require more work per game than the current mechanism. So no promises in that respect.
Current games with auto weapon hide:
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Black Mesa Source
Crysis
Fallout 4
Half-Life 2 and episodes
Halo MCC (tested only on the first campaign)
Portal 2
Skyrim SE
Titanfall 2
I just installed VorpX to play games like HALO on my game computer, after some fidling around I got vorpx working for me, so far so good. But I noticed that after I installed Vorpx and included Microsoft flight simulator in the exclusion list. I can still fly msfs2020 but after a while (and landed somewhere) I suffer from a CTD. I have tried several flights, every time the same effect. after I remove VorpX the CTD’s a gone. does anybody have the same problem or know how to solve this? Thanks. PS I use HP equipment for my computer and VR.
Cyberpunk with regular G3D in VR is not something you should even think about in 2021. This uses alternate frame rendering and the halos are TAA artifacts inherent to the method. No promises, but there might be a way around that in a future update.
And now I will stop answering anything except emergencies for the (short) rest of the day. :)
Very cool Ralf. You’ve given us all a nice Christmas present! Also, why aren’t you taking the day off? (also, why am I typing this today? :)
As often happens my initial question may have mostly been due to misunderstanding what this should be doing for me.
I guess I’m down to two questions for the time being, especially as if I can’t get v1.31 to look as good as v1.23 it looks like I’ll be sticking to the main vorpX method anyway.
1) Am I supposed to be seeing a G3D option? Direct VR is clearly not the same as G3D as it still products halos. If I’m supposed to see G3D then I have something wrong on my end.
2) Is there a config file where I can reduce the total amount of depth? Am I somehow missing it in the vorpX menus? As lovely as this is, I will often go with less depth to reduce halos and other artifacts.
Please do NOT answer those question until after the holidays!
Can you enable us a longer editing window on wordpress? I would go in and edit that post after I had some unexpected time to play with it more:
1) It does not work at all with v1.23, which is a bummer.
2) I totally misunderstood what Direct VR would bring; I thought it was a form of G3D, but it’s got so much distortion. It is wonderful to have that much accurate overall scene depth, but I would either need to turn it way down (which I can’t seem to do currently) or just switch back to Z3D – I actually get far *less* edge distortion with Z3D. Yes, the depth is no longer a bit wonky with Direct VR, but it halos so badly with this much depth. Is there any way we can turn that depth down?
3) Performance appears to be exactly the same as Z3D; switching to Direct VR gives me more depth, more distortion, and no change in performance.
I expect it would be a lot of fun to play with Index controllers, but unfortunately I won’t be able to push the frame-rate for that at anything resembling a high-enough resolution for me to tolerate, so it’s Cinema mode for me anyway.
I haven’t, and I tried other games and the menu appears fine, but it doesn’t work on halo infinite for some reason. Are you saying the menu is not supposed to disappear? I thought it was a dx12 thing. I wonder what the problem is.
Someone posted about attaching HaloInfinite.exe to a Cyberpunk Profile with a Hook Helper installed and I was able to get Halo running in VR with Z3D. I’m curious as to when this might be a supported title if doable? :)
