Search Results for 'Halo'

Just an update on lenova if when starting mixed reality portal if ur choosing seated look left and right but dont look down at floor if u do when u play halo recruit you will be viewing from floor and tracking wont work, now i got halo recruit to work properly . As for steam vr i can only use the big screen program and i used iut to play eso in 2d for 3 hours straight. The text chat is super clear and the sides of screen arent blurry i can see the whole screen perfectly and the screen door effect isnt noticeable even in white screens u can barely make out pixels. It is also so light and comfortable with no light leakage from nose area. I recommend this hmd i hope my controller tracking is issue with iogear bluetooth, if not i will return and
get a replacement. As yet no vorpx so no 3d sigh

Ralf,

I can confirm that using dx9 with the unofficial patch works. Geometry 3d is available too if changing to .exe to haloce. Works well except for coronas (which can be disabled) as far as I can tell. Only problem I have is getting 1:1 headtracking.

Any chance we can get an official profile? I can already tell that the game works almost perfectly, but needs a little work to get headtracking.

Thanks.

Thank you for the clear procedure jonny panic, I will try that.

So basically in order to get Geometry 3D working, I need to use the Halo profile? I’ll try creating a new profile based on that one and see if it works too.

Also, what resolution do you recommend?

i got the lenova today and installed the new steam mixed reality driver.
It doesnt appear to like the touch controllers and the message lost tracking with blinkin controller icon. I only can use the touch controller in the house i can teleport and click on the movie and photo windows on the walls the left controller seems to flake out even here thou . i installed the halo recruit demo and my field of view was off i was below the floor and could see the pistols if i looked straight up. I am retired and find the controllers very sensitive my hands are a bit shaky and i think id be better of with a xbox controller . I will try resetting controllers to factory defaults and see if that helps. Hope its not the blue tooth adapter its iogear . Let me know if anyone has got new steam app working properly

Sorry that wasn’t written very clearly. Using a phone. Basically:

1) Change your unreal.exe to haloce.exe
2) Launch and set up your game for vr. Resolution, font size, etc.
3) Press delete and select geometry 3d. Add 3d effect to your liking.

That is pretty much as far as I got. Dont know the ideal settings yet for mouse speed, fov etc, but ill investigate and edit this.

It didn’t give a pop up window for me either, but it works after selecting it in the vorpx menu.

I meant I searched these forums for “deus ex geometry 3d”, and someone else had discoveres changing the name of deusex to haloce works (but not hud) so I just tried changing unreal to haloce, selected geometry 3d, increased 3d effect, and hey presto.

[vrbandwagon]

jonny panic, I just tried but it doesn’t give me the usual “this game supports Geometry 3d” popup window.

Basically, I made a copy of “unreal.exe” and renamed it “haloce.exe”. I don’t see any “Deus Ex Geometry 3D” profile in Local Profiles or Cloud profiles.

[jonny panic]

I tried this and it works, but geometry 3d is missing. So I searched for Deus Ex geometry 3d… and basically, change your exe filename to Haloce and then it works.

Havent played around much yet but it works well. Not many glitches. Turn off coronas and the crosshair, play without hud. The game looks pretty great in VR.

[Ralf]

Visual glitches are a pretty subjective matter. There is a halo (a few pixels wide) around the hand/weapon that certainly isn’t game breaking. I would argue that it doesn’t really distract from the game unless you want it to distract you. Some however apparently concentrate more on glitches than on playing the actual game and thus are distracted more easily by any potential glitch, of course.

Halo 2 reminds me strongly on Unreal 1, escpecially the creatures.

I played Halo 2 last night with a Halo 1 profile i found in the VorpX cloud. Worked fine and fluent with geometry3D. Though i must state the monsters look quite pixely compared to 3D Vision, but thats normal in VR i guess.

BTW: If vorpX would allow DX wrappers like DGVoodoo taking place in the game folder, DX8 and lower games like Halo 1 could be played.

I’ve been playing Halo Custom Edition in my Vive using VorpX for a few weeks now, and it’s fantastic — except for one thing. In Halo’s ingame video setting, I can’t set the refresh rate to the highest setting (75hz) without having to lower the resolution well below 1920×1080. Even though I’ve installed the Custom Edition mod. Is this just a limitation of the game?

But even with 75hz, the frame rate doesn’t feel like 75fps. If my movement gets too crazy, I get woosey. And I never get nauseous in VR. Anyone know how to maximize the frame rate?

with mass effect 2, no halo effect, it is all ok….. only with mass effect 1 and deus ex human revolution with geometry 3d with 1.00 to depth…

[matteo39]

when i put on geometry 3d, there is a halo (ghosting) effect in the game: with the z-normal does not occur. how to solve? tnk

For anyone who wants to set up Halo for VR, here are the steps. You can download all the necessary mods at…
http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Halo:_Combat_Evolved).

1. Make sure your installed copy of Halo has been updated to the latest version.

2. Download and install the Halo Custom Edition mod.

3. Download and install the Halo widescreen fix mod.

4. Download and install the Halo FOV mod.

5. Open VorpX Configuration, and check the Cloud files for Halo settings. If one exists for Halo, import, then apply and close.

6. Run Halo single player. Open settings a set the resolution to the highest (I believe it’s 1920×1080). Once in game, hit the F6 key to increase the Field Of View by moving the mouse up and down. Once you find a comfortable spot, hit F6 again to lock it.

My personal preference is to go into the VorpX settings during gameplay, and increase the 3D Separation to really make the 3D pop. I’m still looking for a mod to get rid of the crosshairs. I also don’t know if there’s a 1st person mod for vehicles, but I guess I could get used to 3rd person during vehicle sequences if I had to.
