Search Results for 'Mass Effect Andromeda'

HI,

I am trying to play Mass Effect Andromeda with PSvr2 headset, but ps5 standard controller.
Sadly, Vorpx does not allow me to use the gamepad as a gamepad, it keeps overridding the keys with keyboard keybinds.
I am unable to do anything, changing the Xbox gamepad override to anything (Off, partial, full) does nothing, even after reboots.

Can anyone help?

The right eye in Mass Effect Andromeda is rendered with errors in G3D.
squares at the edges of character, no light on forehead and artifacts in the background.
The left is rendered correctly

I happened to have a GTX 1080Ti, RX 6750XT and a RX 6800XT for some time. And decided to test a few games with vorpX on the same system.
Most games work fine on all three, performing as you’d expect for the GPU.

However there were a couple where the FPS tanks in geometry 3D for radeon cards. The ones I found are Mass Effect 1 and 2 of Legendary Edition, Mass Effect Andromeda and F1 2020.
The RX cards drop to 2-15 FPS in ME1/ME2 LE, and 30-40 FPS in ME Andromeda and F1 2020. Compared to 60-80 in ME1/ME2 LE and Andromeda, and 100+ in F1 2020 for the 1080Ti.
This considering the 6750XT and 6800XT are both more powerful than the 1080Ti.

I scoured a bit in the forums and found a few complaining of poor performance on the 6000 series. That is actually how I decided to test F1 2020.

There doesn’t seem to be something obviously in common between these games. For example standalone version of ME2 doesn’t have this issue.
Also Z3D works close to native FPS, with RX cards preforming better as expected.

I used DDU on every GPU swap, disabled all AMD features (active sync, boost, chill etc.), disabled AMD overlay, forced Vsync OFF globally. I tried lower game settings, different resolutions, fullscreen/borderless/windowed, OpenXR/SteamVR/Generic 3D Display, all sync options in vorpX.

I’m not sure what else to try.

Thank you, matteo39!

From my understanding, it’s not the profile that’s the problem, but getting around the Dead Space 2008 native profile in vorpX, as it references ‘Dead Space.exe’ which is the same .exe as the remake (i.e., Dead Space ‘2023’). To my knowledge, there is no way in vorpX to by-pass/deactivate/turn off native vorpX profiles / an error message is given when trying to add an already used .exe from a native vorpX profile to a different profile (i.e., cant download, say, Mass Effect Andromeda, or Cyber Punk 2077 etc. profiles from the cloud and assign the same .exe (i.e., ‘Dead Space.exe’). Also tried renaming the remake .exe to something else and assign the cloud profile to that .exe and I’m confident these are the steps I tried and it did not work. That said, I will try again report back!

Thanks again for this ongoing support, folks!

Best,

Ben

@TheLastStarfighter Z3D in-general has come a LONG way over the past five years or so. I also used to be absolutely unable to tolerate it in any title and could only use G3D. But vorpX and other solutions now offer some pretty good Z3D, sometimes extremely good. It is very game-engine dependent though. Definitely give it a try, and be willing to work a while with the settings. Title that come to mind off the top of my head that look fantastic in vorpX Z3D are Greedfall, Dragon Age Inquisition (and thus probably Mass Effect Andromeda, although I have not tried it yet), and The Witcher 3 with the first-person mod. Those titles are all excellent. (Witcher 3 could use a little more depth, but it’s OK, the other two have fantastic depth with surprisingly few Z3D artifacts.)

Is it normal that I have no 3d effect in Mass Effect Andromeda?

Hey everyone,

So i used this mod a few years ago and the modauthor ended up ‘hiding’ it on Nexusmods, making it impossible to download. Someone else made a First Person Mod – but they dont show the weapons in your hand, this one does, so it really turns Andromeda into a pretty incredible First Person Shooter. I did some digging over the course of the last few days and found a link for it that works with Frosty Mod Manager. I tried getting it to work with the “EA Games” app version of Mass Effect Andromeda and was unsuccessful – I then downloaded the Steam version of the game and got it to work.

It is actually quite well done and makes for a pretty solid first person VR experience.

Here is a short bit of gameplay so you can see if it might interest you:

Here is the link for the mod:
https://mega.nz/file/AHQn2QIB#iLT-eh5oAmBtPd1bm1UQZa9D2Eauv7fWbEkMprelALo

And youll need Frosty Mod Manager to use it, its the option on the right, just click “Download” under “Mod Manager”:
https://frostytoolsuite.com/downloads.html

Place the files into whatever folder you like for the mod and the Mod Manager. Run the Mod Manager in Admin mode. If youre using Steam, I had to select the “New” option on the bottom right and direct it to the game’s .exe. Most people will have that under Program Files(x86) – Steam – Steamapps – Common – Mass Effect Andromeda. Choose the file named MassEffectAndromeda.exe

Once youve selected that, it should populate on the Mod Manager’s main page, select the game and then on the bottom right of the Mod Manager choose “Select”

Now that you have the Mod Manager attached to ME Andromeda, on the top left corner there is an option to “Add Mod(s)”; select that and then just select the Mod’s zip folder, wherever you installed it; it should be called “First Person Toggle 1.2-771-1-2-1564773598.zip”

No need to unzip the file, the Mod Manager will handle that.

Now that you have the mod populated in the Mod’s list, select it and press “Apply Mods”, it should be near the center of the Mod Manager’s screen. Once its “applied”, make sure the box is checked in and then, from the Mod Manager, press “Launch”, toward the top of the window. It will boot the game up and apply the mod.

You can shift in and out of First Person by holding down on the Dpad of your controller.

Go ahead and get it modded and running properly, then use Vorpx to turn it into a VR game.

Hope you guys can enjoy, its alot of fun – I know the game gets a rough rap overall but the combat in First Person VR is realy quite exciting. I recommend playing the character with the “Charge” attack, but, make whatever you like – its just fun to be in VR and teleport like 40 feet at someone and get up in their grill with a shotgun.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. It -MIGHT- work with EA’s Game launcher or Origin, but I didnt have success with it. If you try to get it to work with those and it doesnt – You can get “EA Play” on Steam for 4.99 for a month and make sure the game is up and running for you for just 5 bucks. But Vorpx has an official profile for the game – and while I found Geometry 3d to be glitchy, the Zadaptive and Znormal options look great.

Take care folks!

By part 4 I meant of course
“Mass Effect: Andromeda” …
I used the cloud profile and got a very good G3D … !!

I saw Mass Effect: Andromeda in the “fixed” column and decided to give it a go before playing the remastered trilogy. However, I have similar problems with the game in G3D like I have in Jedi Fallen Order; flickering shaders, specifically around the characters.

Jedi Fallen Order G3D Black Screen

The issue around the main character can actually be resolved by changing Vocal Offset to -0.13, but then other graphic errors occur.
I guess the profile should not be broken, since it was updated recently. Am I the only one having problems? Are there any in-game options I overlooked or specific headset / graphic card issues (driver is fairly up-to-date) that might cause this? Simply no luck with EA games? ;)

Yeah, mass effect is without a doubt my favorite franchise of all time, but this is nothing but a cash grab unfortunately. They screwed up Andromeda, and left a massive decade-big hole in the greatest game series of all. And they know it. Now, with nothing to show but their d!cks in their hands, they have to “remaster” 15 year old games because thats all they can do for now. Sad. They could have done so much more.

I haven’t seen anything screenshot wise yet that looks much different. Some touch ups here or there, but certainly not re-buy worthy.
(Playing old games in ***4K***, is just seeing an old ass game at higher resolution. No thanks.)

Hey everyone,

So made a thread earlier in 2020 when lockdown started happening trying to get ideas for good games to play via Vorpx during the last year and wanted to make a new recommendation thread, if anyone was interested in posting their best Vorpx experiences.

My last thread I mentioned my favorite, before 2020, being modded 1st person Sekiro, 1st person Dark Souls 3, 1st Person Mass Effect Andromeda

So I didnt get to do as much Vorpx gaming in 2020 as I would have liked, but I would like to point out some great experiences I had in Vorpx in 2020

So for new recommendations:

Resident Evil 7 – even with Z-Adaptive, not Geo3d. There were some issues with gun ghosting and shadows in Geo 3d for me, but Z-Adaptive didnt have those at all.

Seriously – if you were kinda bored with RE, I was too, but… this game is just a goddamn treasure and should be experienced by -ANYONE- with Vorpx. You can find it for like 8 bucks on Keys sites.

Metro Exodus was pretty fantastic as well, was happy with the direction that game took with the open world FPS design and surprised me with how well it ran in Vorpx.

Titanfall 2 – Ran incredibly smooth and just a great campaign in VR

On a more difficult recommendation, got Dark souls 2 to work in 1st person VR with Cheat Engine. That was a fun one, you could find the instructions online if you wanted to – but Id Recommend Sekiro or Dark Souls 3 before it, much easier to get up and running.

So anyone have any games they thought were particularly good to experience they want to point out in the last few months/year?

Thanks for your time and take care

Has anyone done this yet with good results?

mass effect andromeda, battlefront1 (maybe frostbite? ) :)

Hi Ralf, this is a brand new vorpx and game installation. Also, I tried all the settings regarding head tracking, none of them works…
Actually this problem happened to me years ago on my desktop in the Alient Isolation game and other games. Now I moved my license to my laptop, ran Mass Effect Andromeda and the tale of plague, they all have the same issue.

Can you point me to some useful youtube videos about vorpx settings? I searched a lot and didn’t find anything useful.
