Quest 3, vorpx 25.1.5, RTX 5090, Driver 595.79, using virtual monitor
I’ve been tinkering a lot to make Witcher 3 look great and results would be amazing. 5090 handles ~Ultra settings at 3648×3840@120Hz (Virtual Desktop Godlike res + H264+ ~400Mbps for the best image).

Two outstanding issues:
* The image suddenly corrupts after ~1-10minutes as in the screenshot at these non standard resolutions tested – repros at 2736×2880 too. Not sure if it’s because the res are high or that they are “unmanaged”. Usually the whole frame corrupts, and often with red and blue “fractal” regions.
This repros through Oculus too, not just OpenXR/VD.
I’ve not reproed this with vorpx managed resolutions (Ultra).
I’ve not reproed this without vorpx at 6832×4840 in 25 mins (though might be just chance).
I don’t have similar problems elsewhere, and haven’t reproed hardware problems with OCCT VRAM test + concurrent FurMark to drive temp up.
Interestingly, the corruption persists after resolution change, and even Exit To Main Menu -> Load Game.

* OpenXR/VD
I understand it’s not recommended but have no perf issues with this setup, but a control issue – when putting the headset down, seems that some movement is captured when the headset “disconnects” (during movement of putting the camera down) and gets continuously reapplied making the mouse/camera move all over the place – persists after reconnecting, haven’t figured out a way to reset it.

The working profile has been uploaded to the cloud.

After trying the official profile without success, I was able to achieve depth using a different official profile.

The 3D effect breaks every time you take out a weapon or a blackjack. After using them, always hide them using the ~ key (or any other key you assigned earlier for that purpose). This restores the 3D effect. In most other games, this issue would make the game unplayable in 3D, but in Thief it’s irrelevant, as the game focuses on stealth and exploration.

With everything properly configured, the game looks as good as Blood in G3D. The City in the “Endless Rain” and “Winds of Misfortune” fan missions is breathtaking.

Once everything is set up, the 3D effect is strong, creating a real sense of moving through space and observing objects with depth.

Steps to make everything work:

Install TFix 1.27 for Thief I, Thief II, and Thief Gold.

Copy (clone) thief.exe and rename it to thiefvorpx.exe. Repeat the same process for Thief II and the executable inside the Thief Gold folder.

Change the FOV to 140 in cam_ext.cfg. Don’t forget to remove the “;” so the optional FOV setting works. You can adjust the FOV to your preference, but remember you may also need to tweak VorpX Immersive Mode settings and save the changes.

Set the resolution to 3840×2880. For this resolution to appear in-game, you must select it in your screen settings after launching VorpX Virtual Desktop. To enable this, create a custom resolution in VorpX Virtual Monitor. Once created, launch VorpX Virtual Desktop, right-click on your desktop, open Screen Settings, and select the resolution. Then launch the game and choose 3840×2880.

Websites like Thief Missions and Keep of Metal and Gold host over a thousand fan missions. Most are unrated, but the only way to judge them—especially in VR—is to play them. Even a simple mission aesthetics can be great to look at in 3D. With the sense of moving through space, you gain access to countless new places to explore, with VorpX acting as the only secret door to them.

Use AngelLoader to catalog and launch fan missions. Start them through VorpX Virtual Desktop via AngelLoader.

After playing for a while, adjust VorpX Immersive Mode settings to your liking—distance, scale, curvature, and so on.

Use Alt + Space to recenter if you feel too short or if you feel that the picture is misaligned.

Optional:

Set F5 for quicksave and F9 for quickload—you’ll use them frequently.

You can also try cloning the Dark Messiah of Might and Magic VorpX profile, as more options seem to work in Z-Normal mode. However, there may be ghosting issues.

For the best immersion, use Peltor (or similar) noise-canceling headphones together with Panasonic in-ear buds, and a backlit keyboard for night play.

Consider using a Samsung HMD Odyssey Plus headset for excellent colors and contrast in Thief and The Dark Mod. Since darkness is a core part of the experience, display quality matters greatly.

The Samsung HMD Odyssey Plus still offers outstanding color and contrast thanks to its AMOLED screen technology.

When buying one, ask the seller whether the USB cable (which is long and sturdy) works properly. Signal interruptions can crash AMD drivers. If the system detects a signal loss (VorpX acts as a virtual monitor), it may switch to standard graphics drivers, resulting in a black screen.

Note that AMD Adrenalin driver crashes can still occur even with a fully functional cable. In such cases, both the monitor and headset may go black. You may need to restart your computer and manually reinstall the graphics drivers—often twice, as the first attempt may fail—via Windows Device Manager.

Minor scratches or blurring on lenses can be removed using PolyWatch Plastic Polish. However, on some headsets, it may cause additional blurring.

Only use PolyWatch if you are certain it’s safe for your device, as improper use can damage the lenses.

Removing scratches requires applying firm pressure—don’t be afraid of pressing too hard, but proceed carefully.

If you’re doing this for the first time, watch several YouTube tutorials. PolyWatch works by dissolving plastic on a microscopic level, so avoid overuse, as it can deform or reshape the lenses.

Tips for new Thief players:

Always pick up rope arrows—they are reusable.

You can pull yourself up by pressing and holding Space after a jump.

Shooting rope arrows close to edges makes climbing easier.

Some surfaces (like windowsills) are wooden—these can support rope arrows if you aim carefully.

Certain pipes can be climbed.

Some roofs can be climbed by jumping and holding Space, similar to windowsills and walls.
Doors and windows can be deceptive—some that look unusable can actually be opened. Always check them up close.

Knocking out peasants is not always a good idea. They may serve a purpose, such as opening doors, which they cannot do if unconscious.

With Bioshock 2, I personnally got much higher FPS (90/max) with the original than with the Remastered with G3D enabled.

(And 3D looked better / more comfortable in the original. In fact I used Z3D in Minerva’s Den Remastered. I played the DLC with the Remastered because I didn’t have the Original Minerva’s Den and I really prefered the experience with the original game and 6dof G3D. I also missed the spear gun physics. In the remastered, it doesn’t pin the ennemies to the wall, they don’t even move…)

I have an RTX4090, so better than an RTX5070ti.

So no, I don’t think there is anything wrong. Just the RTX5090 is probably insanely powerful.

Anyway, the original is still more beautiful and better in a lot of ways (at least for the second game).

“Enhanced” Edition doesn’t have G3D (but it can be played in full VR with an unofficial profile, even if I would recommand Standard DX12 instead if you want to play with Z3D and raytracing, because it’s very beautiful & optimized, you don’t have Depht of Field / blur and you can switch to G3D when you want – which is much better indoors).

There are details here :

Is Metro Exodus Enhanced working for anybody?

They don’t behave the same way at all so maybe you did something wrong.

In your case, if you just want 3D, given Z3D DX12 profile isn’t very powerful, you really have to use the Standard edition with the official profile to get G3D (you don’t have to import/apply anything, it works by default), and you must specify DX11 in the game’s option before using VorpX (so launch it in flat at least once in order to change video settings).

I can get 2077 to crash pretty reliably when using the motion aiming, sometimes it’s fine other times it crashes, enought to where I’m considering just using a gamepad or KB+M which is a shame because it actually works quite well. The game doesn’t seem to crash in VR outside of when motion controls are engaged.

Now I understand! If you zoom into the scenery, you loose pixels (that you do not see anymore). So basically you look through a small window and thus view the game at a lower resolution. Sure, you can compensate that with a higher monitor resolution so that in the end the portion of the screen that you actually see matches the headset resolution.

It’s a little bit complicated.

More details are computed by some games (it depends on the game engine, graphics settings, etc.) if the resolution is higher.

Some games even have an option to compute at higher resolution and rescale it to your resolution (like Metro Last Light Redux), and you can use it with an even higher resolution using VorpX, so it’s even better (it actually works very well !)

You can see every details miles around in a lot of games but objects close to you are also usually more beautiful.

It was especially true with recent games like Metro Exodus (in Z3D mode) or Frontier of Pandora which benefits from ultra high resolution (3840p).

Most of the time, it’s hard to use more than 2880p with G3D, and anyway it doesn’t seem necessary to get a perfect result, at least with official profiles (DX9 games like Bioshock 1&2 originals and some DX11 games are particularly impressive from my experience). Besides, you have an additional option in G3D games to enhance textures.

I also noticed full VR display mode is usually less clear&sharp than Immersive Screen, so you need a bit higher resolution to achieve the same result (when it’s possible).

So you need a very good computer to get the maximum from your G2 with demanding games, but it worth it. Anyway, I used 1440p immersive screen too with my GTX1080 and I already loved it. You probably can experience 2160p or even 2880p G3D full VR with some older games like original Bioshock 1 (or even Bioshock Infinite).

Too bad that (I think) the size of this window cannot be determined.

You’ll get used to it. I usually use more or less always the same FOV value (with 4:3 ratio), and adjust zoom without even thinking about it. The size of the window doesn’t matter. The important thing is to adjust the FOV to maximize immersion and minimize distortions (while the sweetspot can be bothering in some cases like strategy games, the G2 is great to play FPS in Full VR mode because you don’t really have visible distortions compared to other VR headsets like Quest 3 or Aero and 3D works very well).

Just so we’re on the same page here, I do not expect to use custom settings and then complain to you something isn’t working correctly or report it as a bug. I’m more than happy to use those custom settings though because in the case of FS25 (with the FS22 profile clone) , I was able to improve the 3D effect a lot, making it playable for my needs.

Is it a way to run WMR headsets with Win11 ??
So far I stick to Win10 just because WMR is not available with Win11.

I don’t think it’s as good as WMR/OpenXR (probably not as optimized and reliable).
You can use Win11, but only if you don’t update it, so It may be easier to stick to Win10 (I don’t know if you can prevent the update when you do a new installation).

The virtual display is just a display like any other. It doesn’t have any say in how a game handles ultrawide resolutions. If you let vorpX hook into the game, you have to adjust the resolution in the game, not on the Windows desktop. In some games that cap/link their resolution list or aspect ratio to the current desktop res, you may have to do both.

Every monitor reports a default res to Windows, 2560×1440 is the virtual display’s default res because that’s a reasonable choice for most current VR headsets. Actual monitors usually report their highest supported res as default, but that doesn’t really make sense for a virtual display that can support up to 8K. Making the virtual display’s default res configurable for power users is already on the requested feature list, but not an ultra high priority, so that might take a while.

25/12/16 | vorpX 25.1.3 has been released

Another maintenance update, mainly addressing various issues and annoyances that came up since 25.1.2. Aside from the fixes there is a subtle improvement in regard to how the game/desktop images are sampled before sending them to the headset. Power users can also configure the sampling method now with expert settings enabled.

Click here for a list of noteworthy changes

• vorpX: Battlefield 2 could crash on map load.
• vorpX: some games could crash on CPUs with more than 12 cores.
• vorpX: different image sampling methods for screen/FullVR modes.
• vorpX: image sampling method user selectable (expert setting).
• vorpX: option to improve FPS in games that limit core count (e.g. Witcher 1 GOG).
• vorpX: back to OpenXR 1.0 due to outdated runtimes (eg. Valve, Virtual Desktop).
• vorpX: relaunching games with another graphics API could fail.
• vorpX: DX9: (rare) 64-bit DX9 games ran at roughly half the supposed FPS on Win11.
• vorpX: DX9: some FPS lost since quite a while have been reclaimed (eg. Skyrim).
• vorpX: DX11: Z3D did not work anymore in several games (e.g. COD Black Ops III).
• vorpX: DX12: fixed an (currently unused) Z3D method that didn’t work at all.
• vorpControl: hook helper install auto API detection didn’t work anymore.
• vorpControl: creating desktop shortcuts did not always work anymore.
• vorpService: fallback for virtual display/desktop viewer not working on some PCs.
• vorpService: The virtual display didn’t always get disabled on standby as intended.
• vorpService: Quest Link detection not working anymore after a recent Link update.
• Just Cause 3: depth buffer detection could fail occasionally.
• The Witcher 3: DirectVR: camera position was broken, second position added.
• The Witcher 3: DirectVR: auto EdgePeek for menus, cutscenes etc. didn’t work.
• Elder Scrolls Online: shader parser to detect future UI changes automatically.
• F1 2019: restarting with DX11 didn’t work anymore.
• F1 2020: restarting with DX11 didn’t work anymore.

I just tested it.

So it works, but it’s harder than usual.

Full VR took me a few seconds to configure (adjust FOV, resolution and headtracking speed), but 3D was a lot harder.

I think it’s an OpenGL game, and I’m surprised it works.

It was kind of tricky.

First of all I can’t test the profile on the cloud because I still use V24.1 and Cloud doesn’t work with it anymore :(

I derived the official “Machine for Pigs” profile in the local tab and I assigned “AmnesiaTheBunker.exe” (“Add File” button).

Only “G3D” works with this game. It’s probably not usual G3D, and not as impressive as DX9 (or 11) games. But it doesn’t seem to break any shader and it’s clear&sharp.

At first, 3D was flickering, so I had to configure a few things. It may be different for you, but I had good results with :
– 2775×2772 resolution (I usually use 4:3 ratio but this time I needed “1:1”).
– There is an option in the ingame menu page 2 named “Game HUD Depht”. I used 0.8 to 0.85
It seemed to affect 3D strenght.
– I also used 1.4 to 1.5 3D strenght in Geometry (Full VR tab). Usually 0.8 to 1.0 are enough. These settings are unusual.

I used max Clarity FX and Sharpness, and lowered VorpX’s Gamma.

It may be some kind of alternate rendering but I didn’t noticed it at the end (with a good framerate). I guess Refresh Rate may impact the 3D if it’s not properly configured.
I think you shouldn’t use too high resolution. I had problems with 3840p. The game is clear enough even at lower resolutions anyway.

Don’t forget to use the Virtual Monitor (VorpX Desktop Viewer before hooking) if you need it to reach the desired resolution. If you hook with this profile, you’ll have the G3D option.

I had attempted to purchase this late in the evening on the 2nd, and when I didn’t get the email that night I had assumed it was just because it was the weekend and late, but now it is a few days later and I have not received a download link or purchase confirmation email and my bank is still saying the funds are on hold. Have I done something wrong somewhere, or is it just taking longer than usual for some reason?

[Buzbee]

Anyone know how to configure full vr vorpx with psvr2? What resolution/aspect ratio and any FOV adjustments to get it not looking warped? I usually use immersive screen because of it.

https://vr-compare.com/headset/playstationvr2
Visible FoV 110° diagonal

Not sure how to use this data:
https://risa2000.github.io/hmdgdb/

Any in-game settings or config.ini settings would also be appreciated.

With REFramework I was able to play RE7 without motion sickness by increasing the FOV from the highest official max of 90 and
Disabled camera wobble by enabling “Decoupled Camera Pitch” to stop the camera from moving vertically.

Any similar tricks for Vorpx?

[Boblekobold]

Nightingale works very well for me in full VR but the game is very demanding and unusually, I had to configure the game and VorpX very precisely.

I would love an ingame option or a special key binding to disable headtracking while using edgepeek or a key binding to disable/enable headtracking. There are a lot of menus and inventory management in this game.

I can’t resize HUD (or I don’t know how). It’s not really a problem because I usually don’t, but maybe there is a solution working with every Unreal Engine 5 games.

On my Reverb G2, with an RTX4090, I use (with VorpX V24.1) :
– 5120×3840 resolution (just choose this resolution in Virtual Monitor, and the game follow). I wasn’t able to force fullscreen sadly (it may be more optimized).
– 120 FOV (ingame slider is limited to 110 but you can edit FieldOfView in GameUserSettings.ini file in “Appdata\Local\NWX\Saved\config\WindowsClient” folder)
– Judder Protect (it seems to be recquired with this game).
– (And cap framerate at 33% but it’s just because I don’t want to burn my computer).
– Headtracking speed at 5.0/max (I don’t know why I need that much, but It didn’t work otherwise. I have no problem now but I had to ensure the game is perfectly smooth, which is unusual).
– Z3D strenght 3.0/max – Works very well but once again, the game must be smooth. I play with max graphics but I had to use FSR with max quality/sharpness.
– ClarityFX & Sharpness at max. Gamma between 0.9-1.0

There may be better settings, but it works well (considering there is no official profile). It seems a bit sharper&clearer than UEVR (even with lower resolution). It has been more reliable for me (no glitches / crashes).
