deal is a deal eh :)
already got ME trilogy and plan to revisit them with vorpx soon. I really like games with good level design like Witcher series or/and with a colorful palette like Remember Me and Sunset overdrive.

i only tried the first one, just because i already played the three mass effects years ago and i dont have time to redo the same games even in VR, too many new games to play :D

the first mass effect has buggy sky in G3D (lots of flickering) other that this distracting issue, it runs fine.

to change fov there is a guide

note that for cutscene you better switch to edgepeek mode or else your eyes will be hurt bad because of those “cinematic” camera angles.

and it’s better to play this game in immersive screen mode or even cinematic mod, that way you can see HUD when you need.

controller mod ? never heard of that, gamepad works fine, as does the combo keyboard + mouse.

1. How well do these games play in vorpx?
2. Are you in the environment or looking at a big screen?
3. Ddoes the controller mod work too?
4. Is it easy to set up? (I have a lot of Vorpx experience, but don’t really want to hassle that much to play this game)

Thanks :)

i also noticed that when i click the thumbstick for the vorpx menu everything freezes it happened in mass effect 3 and ni no kuni2

i just bought mass effect trilogy, wanting to do a whole trilogy playthrough using vorpx, and with latest vorpx version i also get sky bug (only in G3D mode), the sky is flickering like crazy when move around.

i’m talking about mass effect 1, i didnt try mass effect 2 & 3 yet.

would be great if this issue could be fixed :)

Greetings.

I have recently discovered the existance of this driver, and i am wondering a few things:

1) Will games, and especially third person games, be played seated? Or will they be full room, no matter what?
2) How will third person games be handled? Did you mod in a first person camera? Will they be played with mouse and keyboard (or controller), or with the Head device controllers? I am thinking, mostly, about mass effect and dragon age, at this time: what can you tell me about those in vr? Worthy or not?
3) How hard will it be to config games, and how to do that? From in game menu, or from .ini tinkering?
4) Is compatible games’ gameplay modified in any way, or is it the same old one?
5) Is there an in-game video to see how it’s gonna look like?

Thanks for the answers!

That’s some pretty messed up issue with Steam first starting the game, then the game starting EA Origin and ending itself and afterwards Origin launching the game again. Not much that can be done. Similar Steam/Origin issues occur with other EA games (e.g. Mass Effect 2).

Get the Origin edition at a sale, it works just fine. Steam edition needs to be uninstalled or the start process will get even more convoluted.

Alternatively get the GOG version which comes without DRM and avoids all such problems altogether.

For Ubisoft/EA games it’s generally best to buy them directly in their respective storefronts to avoid any potential issues due to the double-DRM.

1 kindom come deliverance
2 abzu
3 mass effect 3

thats as far as i got right now just got vorpx
so trying some games

[matteo39]

know that mass effect andromeda has only the “z3d” effect, and I would like to know if anyone has tried this game with vorpx, if it’s worth it.

mass effect 1 , 2 and 3 has geometry 3d, a very good g3d.

The menus work just fine, but once in-game there is no mouse movement.

I briefly experienced this in Mass Effect 2, with a quick game restart fixing the issue. This has unfortunately not worked with ME3.

Anyone have similar issues on this or other games?

Hi Ralf,

Good job on Vorpx 17.3.0!
Works very nicely with Mass Effect Andromeda. (framerate is ~50 FPS with my R9 290, so I am still tweaking a bit to get it higher – already disabled Vsync)

I just freshly installed Crysis 3 from Origin to try out this game in VR on my Oculus DK2.
I started a new game in recruit mode and skipped the training. (I am more a person for training on the job I guess:)
Seems Vorpx is correctly attaching to Crysis 3. Intro scenes are running fine in VR

But after the intro clip of helicopter flying to the dome, all I see is blackness in my headset and on my PC screen. I guess this is the point were the game really starts in 3D. I DO hear voices/action, so the game IS running.

I also added the custom resolution 1440 x 1080 in the AMD control panel, but that did not help. So I removed it again.

Also I seem to loose the mouse cursor repeatedly in Crysis 3 (in the menu structure of the game)
But maybe that is caused by the wired Xbox 360 gamepad I have connected. Its not the main issue, but maybe its related.

I’m running a fully updated Windows 10 Pro with fairly recent AMD driver 17.11.1 (most stable one now for me)
I already emailed you the trouble shoot zipfile with all detail data.

Additional info that is missing in the troubleshoot zip files:
I use RIFT software 1.20. (Not using the Core 2.0 beta, too unstable)

Thanks for your help!

Best Regards,
Bluepill

Ralf, you mentioned that the other Windows Mixed Reality headsets seemed to work fine, it could be the Odyssey. I happen to have a Dell Visor and did the same testing. The games hung (tested Borderlands 2 and Mass Effect Andromeda in the Desktop Viewer). I even retested with VorpX in Administrator mode for MEA.

Observations:
* On my last attempt I noticed the games video hung, not the desktop viewer (can move my headset around). I saw this earlier when trying to run American Truck Simulator (outside of VorpX with the VR beta). The game seemed to be running as I could hear the audio. On the monitor game window the video frozen.
* The crash seemed to come later (minutes into the game) than I recall when I tried with the Samsung Odyssey (seconds into the game). Not sure if it matters much if they are both unplayable because you can’t play long.

Fallout NV should be a great starting experience! has DirectVR support with proper G3D and FOV, and full positional tracking. I’ve not tried NV but Skyrim worked great in my rift.

I find roomscale VR neat from time to time, but generally prefer to play my vorpX games seated with mouse and keyboard, and it works great! Even though I mainly use mouse input to control my head rotation the traditional way, it is still an immersive pseudo VR experience.

For me, the coolest thing VR adds to gaming is the visual sense of scale and 3D effect it adds to the game world. Mountains look massive and the horizons look distant. Forests feel layered and deep while the trees tower over head. Characters appear lifesize and intimidating as do the weapons in your hands. This is the experience vorpX can add to the way you play many of your standard games. Now that I’ve seen my games this way, I simply cannot go back to my flat 24″ monitor.

For this reason, vorpX is by far my favorite and most used VR tool, the best purchase I have made for my HMDs. While it has default profiles that work fine for many games “out of the box”, it also provides a handy in game menu tool that lets you make adjustments on the fly. Things like image zoom, 3D strength, sharpness, and color saturation. Also headtracking sensitivities, programmable hotkeys, and sometimes FOV increases. And it saves and remembers all adjustments you make to each profile. Again, quite handy, and no need for taking off the headset to edit files.

Some menu settings took a bit of testing to understand initially, but I quickly came to appreciate how each contributes, and the options they provide. It has been well worth the effort to learn, as I now quite enjoy fiddling with each new game I try. Setting them up is half the fun! Most recently for me has been the New Assassins Creed and Star Wars Battlefront games.

Not every game works well without some type of compromise (i.e. resolution vs frame rate, slight letterboxing for increased fov, Z3D vs G3D etc). But over all, the HMD experience tops the monitor for me. I’m currently using a Pimax 4k pushing 4k resolutions at a meager 30-50fps, but it looks good and clear and plays fine for me in the seated traditional way.

Just thought I’d add this perspective in case it was of interest to you.

Since you seem to have an open mind with expectations in check, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with vorpX.
