i do not agree, i heard great feedback about mass effect games + vorpx.
you should give it a try if you have both vorpx + mass effect games.

[steph12]

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 :)

Well I reinstalled vorpx and relaunched KCD but still no g3d.
What is going on here? Other games work fine like csgo, mass effect, and alien isolation. However KDC is the game I bought vorpx for.

Next step is to try and reinstall KDC.

Even though its only Z3D and not G3D, its still very good. Out in large spaces like the planets, its almost impossible to tell the difference. I think this game got way too harsh reviews because of the many bugs it had on launch. But its a pretty damn good game now.
Loving it so far! Only wish I had more time to play.

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

@ matteo : Mass Effect Andromeda uses a newer Forstbite version, which vorpX currently does not support in G3D mode. One of the things that will be looked into shortly, but I can’t promise anything.

[matteo39]

can i use this to have g3d in mass effect andromeda?

[steph12]

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 :)

In most cases it works with all versions, as with every rule there may be an exception here and there. The Mass Effect games as well as Dragon Age work fine with Steam and Origin, also with GOG (as far as available there).

If you turn off your lighthouses your Vive will not work.
That connection is needed for head tracking and the Vive requires at least one to be on. Your controllers, if not in use, will auto power off.

By the way, Mass Effect looks great on a virtual cinema screen in 3d.
Often some of the best Vorpx experiences are with such a screen.
Trine and other similar platformers are great while seated.

Your third person questions are largely covered directly on the front page. “Optionally you now can play third person games, strategy games, sports games etc. on a huge virtual cinema screen.”

Rule of thumb: first person games default to “Full VR” mode, third person games default to “Immersive Screen Mode”.

You can switch any game to FullVR mode though if you want (might require additional FOV adjustment). Whether that makes sense is a matter of taste, personally I think that for third person games in most cases the immersive screen mode, which places you very close to a huge 3D screen so that it almost fills your entire view, is the best way to play. Doubly true for games like Mass Effect/Dragon Age that require frequent UI/menu interactions. That way you are almost ‘inside the game’, but UI/menus can still be easily used normally.

Controller wise you can use mouse and keybord, a gamepad or your VR cotrollers, which vorpX can map to either mouse+kb or gamepad controls. For many games vorpX adjusts the important settings like resolution and FOV automatically these days. vorpX does not change the gameplay, that is beyond its scope.

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.
