Hi all,

I’m running into an issue with the official Deathloop profile. Z3D is fine and all, but on my Oculus it works well when it’s 100% by default, but if I make a single setting modification (simple stuff like ambient background or even xbox override binds because those are pretty bad by default), I get a strange performance/freeze loop the next time I play, until I reset fully again.

I’ve made myself about 10 profiles in the past 3 years, with great success, and always find the best I can do with Vorpx’s tonnes of settings. Since the official profile seems buggy, I would love to make my own profile, but now I get the annoying warning about the exe being used already (like in this recent thread: https://www.vorpx.com/forums/topic/remove-assigned-program-to-add-to-another-profile/)

Instead of troubleshooting the official profile, I would love to be able to make my own profile, like I did for many other games, but renaming the exe prevents it from launching with Steam.

1) Is there ANY solution for the exe thing? THAT’S the biggest problem if you ask me.
2) Otherwise, any suggestions to fix/present the freeze > low fps > smooth fps loop?
* Yes, I tried safe sync mode, I tried FluidSync, nothing works – it just makes things worse actually
* No, performance is not an issue at all when using the reset official profile
* Passing through SteamVR destroys the performance. I go from capped 90fps via Oculus to stuttering 30-60, so it’s not an option sadly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, because I can see that it works well with the game, but something breaks it if I do not fully reset every time I want to play it. I’ve put 120 hours into this game and am not about to pass on an opportunity to spend the next 200 in VR ;)

Thanks!

I guess I can’t edit my previous post, so I will double post. I tried to run Gshade in conjunction with FFXIV, but the game will not hook with Gshade running and I’m not seeing many other shader adjustment solutions.

My question is, is the shadow offset caused by VORPX or FFXIV?

I’m with Oisin! RE2 is incredible, and relative to RE7 on PSVR or say Alien Isolation mother mod, I find the third person perspective in 3D to be just as intense and immersive an experience. I know there’s a lot out there about first person VR mods for RE2 and RE3, but I’ll play devils advocate and say that this kind of visual quality on a claustrophobic third person view is one of the more exciting and dazzling gaming experience of recent memory. I do wish 3D cinema mode gaming got more love and notoriety, and ultimately development… because wow, it’s an experience all of its own.

vorpX upscales the image to the final headset res before sending it to the headset, that’s what I meant above, but that aside the higher the game resolution, the crisper the image. You have to find a decent balance between performance and image sharpness though. Doesn’t make sense to crank up the resolution beyond a point where the framerate isn’t suitable for VR anymore.

Considering that in case of F1 2020 vorpX adds bars above and below the image to get the FOV right 1440p should look fairly good under normal circumstances, but if for you that doesn’t look good enough, you might want to experiment with higher resolutions.

You might also want reset all game graphics setting to default, maybe you dialed in some settings that cause a weird resolution issue. Unlikely, but just in case.

[Ralf]

First things first: please keep in mind that the ‘Safe’ option exists precisely for the purpose of dealing with GPU overload caused by cranking up settings too high. That’s what it’s for: it sacrifices a few FPS for better stability when you overdo things.

That said:

Incidentally I just spent the entire Sunday night (it’s almost 5am here) checking exactly this. Quite successful. Not only will there be a full frame less latency with ‘FluidSync’ enabled, which is great in itself. Almost more imprtant: with the ‘Fast’ headset sync it’s now a lot harder to tank the headset framerate below 90, regardless of GPU utilization. That’s for the most part what made things go haywire when you overdo things. At stable 30/90 plus the better latancy even 30fps are not only bearable, but actually quite playable.

Caveat 1: This does not fully apply to ‘Alt. Fast’, which is what DX12 always uses (‘Fast’ and ‘Alt. Fast’) are currently the same for DX12. I’ll check later today after a few hours of good sleep whether I can do something about that. At least The better latency also applies to DX12 though.

Caveat 2: Haven’t checked Pimax yet. Pimax headsets usually are somewhat more problematic in this regard, so not sure how things will turn out for Pimax.

[Lawrence1962]

Many newer Triple A games with dx12, only support Z3D. It has a amazing image quality but is not so much immersive as G3D. Games with dx11 and G3D let you feel, that you really in the world of the game. If you have a game with detailed and high quality motion captured NPCs, you will have the feeling that they are “living people”. If you have motion sickness in the beginning, use Z3D and lower the 3D strength, and increase it step by step.

My goal is to get 45fps, which will be upscaled by vorpx to 90fps. The adjusting screw are graphic details depending on the game and not changing the resolution. My resolution is always nearly 4k (aspect ratios 4:3 or 5:4). And my Antialiasing is always Ultra. I adjust the Texture Settings to the size of my Ram of my graphics card. The Texture setting doesn’t cost performance if you adjust it to the size of your video ram. In many newer G3D games i have to lower the graphic details to medium or low. In Z3D i can play many games in high or ultra. If you have no high-end graphics card you can’t play many newer G3D games in 4k, even not if you lower graphic details to the lowest. In my opinion there are a few games, that are playable in 1440p or 3K, but it’s not the full Reverb G2 experience. In many cases i switch from G3D to Z3D in the game, because i prefer 4k ultra in Z3D instead of G3D in 1440p. But many vorpx user do it anyway, and will contradict me.

@Ralf: Thanks for the encouragement!

@moarveer: Thank you! I don’t plan to just buy it anytime soon tho, maybe early next year that is. Hopefully the price has already dropped a bit by that time.

@Lawrence1962: Wow that’s a lot of information in one post! Thank you so much! I’d like to run my games at full resolution as well. What FPS is your PC able to run at tho? Have you experienced any nausea caused by low FPS? I’m a kind of person who simply go all-in for visual quality even if it costs good frame rate. I’m totally fine with low FPS (~40-ish) on flat screen since motion blur or v-sync usually helps a lot. But I wonder how it will affect my brain in VR. Have you ever experimented on this?

I didn’t expect to get quick replies here. I’m so glad the community seems to be pretty active!

This needs to be added somewhere in vorpx to clear things out better, I dont think Ive seen it explained anywhere in program itself.

Yeah agreed. That definitely caused the confusion on my end. Thought it was just doing sharpening

[celticspike]

it does indeed.
lossless scaling will also do the sharpening for you too, if for some reason the one in Vorpx causes issues.
from my perspective Vorpx has integrated the sharpening part of FSR whereas lossless scaling has that AND the upscaling tech to boot.

bear in mind I have mainly tested with games that don’t have official profiles or support for Vorpx, and that’s where re-shade comes in.

Lossless scaling should work just as well with officially supported games.
just run it in windowed mode at the resolution per the chart, and upscale by the associated factor with lossless scaling

as an example when I previously tried max payne 3 with vorpx and reshade it was unplayable at any decent resolution. 30-40 fps . with lossless scaling i can have the game running at 70-80fps while still looking great in the headset

[snuffleboom]

When I load a game in vorpx it screws up p
some of the buttons on my mouse. Some of the customizations are fine, but some of them just don’t work or they work weird. If I load the game without vorpx it’s fine. Anyone else have this issue?

Mainly it’s just the middle mouse button being rerouted to another button that doesn’t seem to work while in vorpx, but putting a macro on the mmb works, and keys on other buttons work as well. I can’t figure out why this one setting just won’t take. Could it be because vorpx is is using the mmb for another function? And if so how do I disable those things?

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.

in cyberpunk 2077 it works wonderfully. in this game you can set the game to be displayed on the “monitor 2” (psvr). F.E.A.R 1 it went without problems, although you could not set the option in the game. except that you can not play the game 20fps :/. it feels like that vorpx sometimes can not set it automatically. if it would go in mirroring/clone mode would be great, my main monitor has 1080p. iVRy is weird and does not work most of the time, there you are 90% of the time busy steam + steam vr restart or the driver displays it only black and white. if i start trinus, which i bought before vorpx, in steam vr mode and then start a game with vorpx it also comes to errors with steam vr. that’s why i find the Generic VR Headset mode great, because it’s great with games in which you can set the monitor output manually. without much headache with steam vr. it would be nice if a way can be found, since your ingame settings are great, to make it work. maybe i’m just making a beginner’s mistake.

Yeah, it’s certainly possible I’m just expecting too much out of my 3080 Ti, but it just seems strange to me that I could push my 2080 Super to very high GPU usage in, for example, Fallout 3, in fast mode, with no tearing or other issues and have to leave a much higher percentage of available GPU time ‘on the table’ with my 3080. It would not be the first time Pimax pushed a firmware and/or PiTool update that caused sync issues, that’s for sure.

And yes, I’m not a fanboy of Pimax and I’m quite aware of the limitations and foibles. Unfortunately my brain really doesn’t agree with the limited FOV of all other available HMDs, so I’m basically stuck with Pimax and seriously considering upgrading to the 8K X. I can’t wait for a better-established company to come out with a high-pixel-density wide FOV HMD (preferably one with a secondary processor in the HMD so that the HMD itself does the transformations necessary for wide FOV (i.e. ‘Parallel Projections’) and takes that load off our GPUs.)

Out of curiosity, with CPUs getting so fast now, is there any part of the process you could offload the the CPU?

I try all ue4 profile. The result is the same. Zadaptive work but no 3d. G3d on right eye dont redendering some element. most game have this problem , i hope that ralf make something!

Yes, I do not understand what is happening because is not the first UE4 game that fails with G3D, Remnant from the ashes was never fixed and initially was working with G3D and suddenly it didn’t hook G3D anymore.

My main issue is also that I never understand what is the proper way to use the Shader Authoring, in this case for example, it seems to be one layer that is not rendering in the right eye because I can see the HUD on both eyes, and I can see the background in both eyes, however the main layer that displays the character fails, just by running the game in the main menu the issue can be seen perfectly or starting the game as well.

I hope anyone or Ralf can take a look, and not be offended by a game like this (or even check Remnant from the ashes UE4 game)

cheers,

[mr_spongeworthy]

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.
