Hi, and thanks for any help.

I have tried, and tried to solve this 3 issues. I have changed 3d settings, POV, and played with all of the options in the VorpX control panel for hours. As well as trying every resolution, including making a custom one in Nvidia control panel

Issue 1.
Firstly in “Enhanced first person view” MOD, I have had the “Big Hands” problem.
The body was fine, in this one but the hands and weapons were so big they filled half the screen.

And so I tried “Joy of perspective,” and “Immersive camera,” but in these, I get the massive body effect.

I have the 3rd person running really well. But as soon as I switch to first person, everything changes size, and becomes huge. My body when I look down looks absolutely massive. (not just the hands but everything)

Also in (Immersive first person View) the whole world becomes big.
EDIT. I have tweaked and tweaked for HOURS, and managed to get the hands normal. But the body is still huge, and also looking down the perspective is so off, that it looks like as well as being massive, I’m half sunk into the ground.

Any help or ideas? please.

Issue 2.
I have looked for answers, and seen quite a few of threads that didn’t solve my problem.

I want to use an Xbox controller (as I have always done) with the default key setting on the Skyrim Pad layout.

But as soon as I switch off VorpX controller, as I just cant play with that layout, I loose head tracking.
I have managed- (through luck not intentional) -to get both Xbox pad, and head tracking working.
However, two things happened.
1, I just cant get all the buttons to working in the VorpX pad configuration. A number of buttons just dont register.

Any ideas how I can get all the buttons to configure, and work in VorpX configuration?

Issue 3,
And this is so really weird. When I turn head tracking on…
The screen instantly shrinks, like I have activated “Edge peek.” I am now just looking at a big screen. So “head tracking” becomes me just looking round that big screen, like you do in theatre mode.
I wondered if I had clicked “Edge Peek” by mistake, so I activated “Edge Peek” and the screen got even smaller. I then deactivated head tracking, without touching anything else, and the game became “VR” again, but with no head tracking. (And still incorrect button assigns on the Xbox controller.

Any ideas please?

I have gone round and round, Trying everything I can think of.
Including the following. (Some of these are from threads that Ralf has posted.)

1. Turn of pad in Skyrim settings.
2. I also tried turning the Vorpx pad to partial, and then turn off the 3 options under it, (The don’t override ones.)
Restart Vorpx etc etc .

But as I don’t really know what Im doing, its all guess work that’s not working.

And I have also tried to get a profile from the cloud, but after I clicked one, and was told downloaded successfully, I went into the game but nothing had changed from my own settings in VorpX.

I know all this can be rectified, and that its only my lack of knowledge,
Could someone who knows please help.

I desperately want to play Skyrim on my Vive, its why I bought VorpX.
And all I want is..
A, Life size (not massive, and not like dolls) but normal size characters.
B, Head tracking.
C, Xbox pad working, with the Skyrim default pad layout.

My PC is.
Windows 10 64bit.
I5 4690k
16 Gig 2400 DDR3
MSI 980ti 6gig.

Thanks a lot, I will really appreciate if anyone can help me solve these problems.

Part 3 – Skyrim Flora Overhaul.

OK, now that we have the basics in place and vastly upgraded textures, it’s time to start going for the real eye candy. Skyrim in it’s normal form is a pretty sparse place and to be fair, thats geographically accurate to a degree. But since we are in a place with the forementioned talking dragons and knee-arrowed former adventurers, a few extra trees isn’t gonna break the illusion of ‘reality’ for anyone outside those stalwart loremongers that haZ sadZ every time someone installs a CBBE mod.

Skyrim Flora Overhaul (SFO adds a LOT of new trees, plants, grass and variety thereof. It transforms vanilla Skyrim into a more fleshed out place. This is both good and bad. Good because it’s nice to look at. Bad because that performance comes at a relative cost. On lower end machines running on a normal monitor, SFO can make a game unplayable because it simply adds so much more ‘stuff’ for the computer to render. When you add things like lighting mods/ENBs, all that ‘stuff’ then casts shadows. Which have to be rendered as well. So adding SFO can quickly spiral out of control and have a devastating impact.

SFO comes in several flavors and can be found on the nexus page here, including the assorted add-ons and details…
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/141/?

For this install I’ll be using the ‘Regular’ version because it is not as brutal as the latest build and I have to consider what effect the upcoming lighting and weather mods will result in. No other mods you make to Skyrim in VR will have the level of impact that SFO and a lighting/weather mod will. An ENB WOULD, but they are currently not usable. The only other thing we can use that would be so damaging to framerates is the Static Mesh Improvement Mod (SMIM) which massively increases the polygon count of the meshes/models. It is a fantastic mod and I use it for regular modding, but at VR resolution, the increase in detail just is not worth the performance cost.

So… whats the result of adding SFO? To be honest, I was really surprised at the impact this mod, on it’s own, had to frame rates. Almost nothing as it turns out. It would seem, at least as far as the Titan is concerned, it’s not much of an issue until the forementioned lighting and weather mods come into play.

On the WRF run, framerates stayed at/in the same roughly 44-45FPS range with occasional dips to 42-43. In the vast majority of the run, the framerate sat in the mid 44s. So effectively I lost about 1FPS. With 2.0 upscaling, x8 AA and x16 AO still enabled. Now Skyrim is looking VERY good, gameplay is still smooth as silk and the CheeZburger Cat haZ his happy. As do I.

There are now more trees, bigger trees in more places, more and different ferns/plants/flowers and grasses and Skyrim is more lush overall and less desolate/barren. Think more like Upstate New York/Adirondack mountains or the Alaskan wilderness than arctic circle/Tundra.

The Titan is starting to do some work as reflected in Afterburner with GPU use now in the 60% range and seeing a blip/high spike to the 80s on one occasion. CPU rose a bit as well, but overall, there’s a ton of headroom yet to take advantage of.

And that, dear reader, will be the topic of the next entry. Now that we have seen our first ‘negative’ in performance, how do we mitigate it knowing full well that the weather and lighting mods are going to ALSO lower our framerates? We HAVE to stay within a playable rate. there is zero point in modding Skyrim to the point of screen archery if it’s going to mean we can’t enjoy playing it.

Thats where the heavy voodoo comes into play. INI file tweaking, for starters. There is a lot of performance tweaks to make and it never hurts to offer up the PCMR prayer to Lord Gaben of the Steam Empire. “May our framerates be high and our temperatures low!”

The complete error: “vorpX could not intitialize your Oculus Rift. It reported:”

I unistalled my 3D Vision drivers and deactivated PrecisionX. So far the only game that worked was Mass Effect 3. ME 2 worked also, but just without any form of 3D. For the rest of the games I just get the error mentioned above.
I have the CV1 with the latest runtime (installed yesterday), OS is Windows 7. I have no problems with native VR games, everything works fine there.

Any tips or hints on what is wrong on my end?

[frognog]

I had same problem as you just now, also using VorpX with Oculus Rift CV1 (and Mass Effect 1 from Steam). I noticed that when I start Mass Effect 1, I get the “allow this program to make changes to your computer?” Windows popup dialog. When you say “Yes” to that, I believe Windows then runs that program (in this case, Mass Effect 1) under a different user profile than the one you are logged in as. I theorized that this might prevent VorpX from being able to see that the MassEffect.exe program has started, because it only scans programs started by the same user who started up VorpX.

So I exited VorpX and restarted VorpX using [right-click]->[Run as administrator] on my VorpX desktop icon. Then I started Mass Effect 1, got the “allow this program to make changes to your computer?” popup as usual, clicked “Yes”, Mass Effect 1 continued starting up, and VorpX hooked immediately.

[Usmovers_02]

Hi, Vorpx says Mass Effect 1 is supported but I can’t get it to work with CV1. Any suggestions?

[SantiagoDraco]

Crashes and reboots constantly here.

Not ready for prime time. I have no issues with any other game/app than Vorpx.

Occurs launching games. TESO, Mass Effect 3, Fallout 4. All show as supported.

[Oliiiiive]

Hi,
Thanks for your great work,vorpx worth every penny…
Just a simple question, is it normal that Mass effect 2 has no 3d effect in vorpx?
No Z buffer or geo 3d.

Best regards

I purchased VORPX for my HTC Vive too and it is an interesting experience – however, only half of the games I’ve tried are working :

1) GTA V will not work : after seeing the GTA Launcher, I get a message “GTA5.exe not found, please re-install the game”. But that only happens when VORPX is loaded, otherwise it launches fine.
2) Deus Ex : with all settings to minimum and a very low resolution, I barely get 10 fps (although I have a GTX 980 ti and good CPU too).
3) Talos Principle : will not launch, I get a “Croteam crash reporter” (but then again, that is only if VORPX is loaded in memory)
4) Portal 1 and Half Life 2 will simply load normally on my screen and do not even show in the Vive.

Otherwise, Mass Effect 2, Portal 2, Alien Isolation and Mirrors Edge work fine …

I understand we are still Beta but was wondering if anybody had same problem and found a solution ?

This is working nicely. Requires you set a custom resolution in Nvidia first (1350×1500 @60 Hz). The resolution does not need to be active. The game just needs to see that it exists.
You need to edit Darkmod.cfg to set the resolution and screen ratio or just copy this one:

I just remembered I have Mass Effect 3 installed and ready to go so I started it up (without the Desktop Viewer running, mind you, as I saw Ralf suggest in another thread) and it popped up perfect! The black smear is as bad as usual, but that’s a DK2 issue. ;) So at least in quick testing vorpX does seem to be working just fine (outside of the oddities on startup mentioned above.) Yay!

[Grumdark]

The scene display during conversations between characters do not work properly.
There seems to be a problem with the separation of the images, making it unplayable for 3D geometry.

Please, could you fix this problem for the next version?

One very important thing regarding the “zoomed in” effect, that almost everyone misses, including me, is calibrating IPD in vorpX’s ingame menu. So do calibrate your IPD following the on-screen instructions, trust me…it does wonders to the resulting image both for FOV and 3D depth and presence feeling.

I tried a few games like Crysis, Fallout 3, BF3, BF4 etc and no matter what methods I used for improving FOV, including FOV enhancement tools and vorpX’s FOV options and zoom, it still felt a bit “zoomed in”, especially on close range objects.
So after finishing the whole BF3 campaign using Flawless Widescreen set to max FOV, Letterbox 1 aspect ratio, 2D FOV-Enhancement and 85 % image zoom, I started BF4 (same settings) which had better 3D definition but after playing for a while, the “zoomed in” feeling became kind of annoying and broke the immersion. Besides that I also got some blurry vision for half an hour after playing, until my eyes readjusted.

Then I started messing with Calibrate IPD option from page 2 (display) and found that 64.00 which is the default average for most males was wrong, so I re-calibrated using the on-screen instructions and ended up at 60.75 where the cross was perfectly visible and most clear (I do not suffer from any vision issues, I see very sharp, near and far).I was stunned by the result as the “zoomed-in” issue was completely gone, the FOV was just like as in an Oculus native supported game like Alien Isolation or HL2. I was stunned even more when I instantly noticed a huge improvement to 3D depth, the distance from my face to every object in the 3D environment was very clear which is a huge boost for presence feeling. And after playing for a couple of hours without any pause, when I exited, the blurry vision was greatly diminished and it completely disappeared in 1-2 minutes.

So this is the most important thing to do besides setting the FOV. You might end up higher than me, closer to 62-63…in my case, might be the VR Cover cloth which I applied over the DK2 and puts a bit of higher distance between the lens and the eyes, although the VR native games didn’t gave me any problems with the 64 IPD default setting in Oculus profile. I’m not sure how that is possible, maybe it differs from one game to the next, but the result is amazing.

Looks like you’re right! Every game has been massively zoomed-in and even after I spent hours last night following the advice to change FOV in game, in vorpx or by modding game ini, it made absolutely no difference. So after finding your advice here I went in to metro ll and adjusted the IPD (haven’t used the in-game calibrate yet – i simply increased the IPD and now the game doesn’t look zoomed in anymore. Also changed the z-buffer mode and increased 3d effect. So many people are posting here about zoomed-in problems and the standard advice to mod FOV isn’t working. Well done for sorting it out!

I have tested crysis now too.
The weapon and hands clearly are too big, it sometimes looks as if the weapon goes into the ground.
But I think the scale of the other objects is wrong too, some people look like action figures. (I tested with different 3d and fov settings)

I don´t think there’s a fix for that problem, but it affects only a few games.
The Bioshock, Witcher, Mass Effect or Borderlands games worked fine for me.

Hi Ralf,

first of all: brilliant program; vorpX! Recently finished Advanced Warfare single player entirely with my DK2 using VorpX:-) Now enjoying GTA V with it.

Now the issue:
since version 0.7.5 (I think), the edge peak changed. (activated with middle mouse)

Before 0.7.5 –> edge peak zoomed out a little bit (+ you could still zoom in/out in edge peak mode?)
So you could really read the small texts at the edge of the screen. Very useful.

After 0.7.5 (and definitely in the 0.8.0 / 0.8.1) –> edge peak zooms out extremely and is useless for reading text in the edge of the screen. Text is too small (problems in Mass effect, GTA V etc. etc. any game with small text at the screen edges)

Am I doing something wrong or is this something that could be changed back to the old edge peak behavior?

Best Regards,
Jasper (Paying Customer)

I had set the fov to 120 (applied profile, pressed f11 in-game and the fov got bigger).
The scene in the video is the one where I noticed it the most, it became much less obvious in the following areas.
I have this ,,distortion” in Bioshock, Borderlands 2 and some source games, but not in Skyrim or Mass Effect.
I´ll mock a bit with the fov again and try the 2D fov enhancement and if this doesn´t help I´ll just ignore it.
