The profile only works with the regular Metro Exodus, not the enhanced edition.
I am also having same issue not hooking to Metro Exodus mind you it is the enhanced edition so not sure if that make a difference.
The official Vorpx Profile is not hooking, while a custom z3d cloud profile hooks. I’m using the the EPIC Game Store version. any help would be much appreciated. Would love to play the game in g3d. It’s the main reason I bought Metro Exodus. Loved the first 2 in G3d.
Hello everyone, well I’ve tried to play games with vorpx but I can’t get it to work it not matter what game I try, don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, basically I select the profile (same has I see people do in YouTube for example,) but either I get a black screen or stuck on logo,
Gamed I’ve tried : rdr2 (steam) cyberpunk and Witcher 3 (GOG) metro exodus, resident evil village…etc
My laptop is:
Acer predator helios 500
CPU: Ryzen 2700
GPu: Vega 56
Ram: 32gb
Thanks in advanced
First start the game without vorpx and set DX11 for the old profile and DX12 for the CP2077 profile.
Disable also Nvidia Geforce Experience in-game overlay, too.
Borderless window or windowed is the best setting for this game, try to edit the
file user.cfg and profile.cfg.

I just tried Metro Exodus standard with VorpX and still am unable to get the game to run on my HMD. The sound is happening with the HMD but the HMD screen is only showing Metro Exodus loading…while the monitor is showing the game. I have set the game to run in DX11 but no luck getting the game to show on the HMD.
I just re-installed VorpX after about a 3 year absence and am trying to get the Epic version of Metro Exodus Enhanced running with VorpX, but nothing is working on the HMD display. I believe it’s because there is no DX11 option in the Enhanced version.
If there is any way of getting Metro Exodus Enhanced running with VorpX, other then Ralf enabling D3D12 in the profile, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hey Raif… for some reason, I’m only able to get Exodus working with DIRECTX11. Did something change? Would love to get it working with DX12 for when the enhanced version comes out this week. What I’m seeing in 11 looks great, but can only imagine how much better it will be with all the new features.
Hi ralf !
there is an update on metro exodus, they implement a better DLSS (2.1), and new ray tracing lightning, coming on may.
i obviously don’t know the amount of work to make it work in directX12 but still, is it in any plan of yours ?
My metro exodus is long time paid, never played :)) and i’m gladly waiting from the start to play it on vorpx … it will be worth it !
i’m patient, just wanted to know if it’s coming.
the fps gain with dlss is just fucking awesome in some games (2080Ti owner)
Thanks a lot for the work, we don’t say it enough :)
Thanks for the prompt response Ralf – this makes perfect sense. The bottleneck here being the encoding, data transfer and decoding process. The spacewarp being more pronounced the longer this process takes the quest and hence why it would be worse in more graphically intense games.
Alas this makes me quite disappointed. Most of my VR gaming is through Vorpx and coming from a CV1 the Quest 2 is a downgrade in overall experience for graphically intense games although a step up for less graphically intense games. The Q2 really is a jack of all trades headset and although it can do everything, it definitely is a step back in some ways and full vr vorpx is one of those step backs it seems :(.
I would consider another VR headset but the biggest things holding me back are
1) Controller and headset scripting. Using autooculus touch and python scripting it is very easy for me (a coding rookie) to script motion based actions into vorpx games. So for example in Metro Exodus, squeezing my grip button plus raising my right controller to 20 degrees brings up my characters gun and letting go of the grip button drops the gun to the low position. Also headset tracking for real life crouching and jumping translating to Vorpx jumping/crouching.
Ralf have you considered adding such actions to Vorpx? I’ve seen head crouching but I couldn’t get it to work. These actions go a long way to making Vorpx games more engaging and immersive, now that I have experienced them I cannot go back.
2) VR Cables. Proprietary cables are infuriating. I had to replace my CV1 because the cable was toast and it cost 150-200 dollars for a used one. One of the big draws of the quest is that if my pulley system kinks and wrecks my USB 3.0 cable then I just need to spend 15 bucks on a new one. Plus I can have one cable routed full time through my pulley system and one routed to my chair for flight sims.
Here’s hoping the Q2 pro or Q3 comes with a displayport so the Quest line can truly live up to all of its potential.
Greetings,
Fore reference, I have an RTX 3080 and I7-10700k.
While using my Quest 2 with vorpx I have turned off Spacewarp in oculus debug tool and have disabled Async reprojection in vorpx and yet I still seem to be getting a timewarp effect in full vr mode. This is happening in Metro Exodus and The Outer Worlds, and to a slightly lesser extent in Titanfall 2.
The black sides and top are sliding into position when I turn my head quickly. I have a rock solid 90 FPS (confirmed by Vorpx FPS and Oculus Debug performance window). For reference, the game settings I am using for my vorpx session garner 250+FPS when not using Vorpx so I am extremely confident I am getting over 90 FPS at all times.
This is happening both using Airlink and Oculus Link via cable.
Is there a setting in Vorpx I am missing to truly disable timewarp? Vorpx says I am getting full 90 FPS so I am very confused at this point.
Thanks,
Erised
Yeah, it connected with no issue on my end, but alas, doesn’t matter anymore lol. Air Link really is amazing. I’m currently playing Metro Exodus and the game is really stable and has proper colors vs VD.
I had the exact same problem with Metro Exodus (topic is called Metro Exodus benchmark, just little scrolling down this forum). Manually changing fron DX12 to DX12 and restarting the game, VorpX attached sucxesfully and also changed the settings properly.
So i think there’s definitely something going on with the autosettings for this game.
Thank you for the quick response. It works now, but i sadly have no idea what exactly was the problem.
I added the epic web helper to the excluded programs, but that didnt change anything. I reinstalled Metro Exodus and that didn’t work either. Because it always crashed i got an error window popping up when i launch the game which asked me if i want to start in save mode. I tried that also but no luck.
I also tried to start the game from the folder, without the epic launcher even up. And that didnt work either.
Then i enabled the “dont optimize game settings” and also started the game in save mode at the same time from the folder. And suddenly it worked.
After that i unchecked the “dont optimize game settings” again and started it again. And it worked without save mode.
I now can just start the game from the epic launcher no problem with vorpX optimizing the games settings and it just works as intended. NO IDEA why. I just tried different things, no idea what exactly solved the problem.
Well maybe this helps someone with the same problem. Even though its a little random, im glad it works :D
Hi,
Metro Exodus on its own works fine. When i try to start it with vorpx it says something like “vorpx hooking with metroexodus.exe” and metro trys to start. But there only is a blackscreen and then it just closes again. I have it on the Epic Games Launcher.
I tried a loot of steam games like MH:W or Assassins Creed 2 on uplay and they work fine no problems.
I tried changing settings like DX11 or DX12, different resolutions, windowed or fullscreen etc. no luck so far. I restarted my pc started everything as admin or non admin. Tried the “alternate hooking method”.
I use the standard local metro exodus profile.
Do you have something i can try? Great software btw and amazing support on the forum, thank you Ralf :).
