Skyrim (maybe Outlast too): If you have a gamepad attached to your PC, please make sure to disable it in the game options. Skyrim disables the mouse when a gamepad is enabled, which also disables vorpX’s head tracking.

You will still be able to use your gamepad through the built in gamepad emulation in vorpX.

If that doesn’t work, please make sure that no other program is accessing your Rift at the same time. This might even be a crashed one. if in doubt, reboot your PC.

For games without a mouselook function (like many racing games) things are a bit more complicated:

One option is OpenTrack, the other option to emulate a gamepad axis with the vorpX head tracking. The first option is the better one, simulating a gamepad has a few drawbacks.

A. OpenTrack compatible with DK2:

B. Head tracking as gamepad

1. Press [DEL] to open the in-game menu
2. Go to Input page
3. Set ‘Handle Gamepads Internally’ to Off
4. Set ‘Headtracking as Gamepad’ to Relative or Absolute depending on the game. You should get a grasp of what is better quickly.
5. Map the emulated ‘gamepad’ to the look around functions in the game you want to play. Do not leave this step out, it’s vital!

The options below this should be more or less self explanatory except maybe Deadzone Correction, which efectively eliminates analog stick deadzones set by the game.

Now you are able to look around in your cockpit. The view has to be centered from time to time because of possible yaw drift (should be greatly reduced with an calibrated magnetometer). There is a shortcut for centering.

I have tried several games that are on the support list, F1 2012, Skyrim, as well as Outlast. I’ve responded to several topics hoping for a response but there doesn’t seem to be any, so I thought I’d create my own thread.

I can’t get headtracking with any of them, and I have even tried using Opentrack, but nothing seems to work. I want to set the rift input as the analogue stick on the controller to look around, but I can’t figure out how to do that, and I didn’t see anything in the settings. Or I couldn’t figure it out.

My system specs are.
DK2
Runtime 0.4.x (not sure but I know it’s 4)
i7 4790k Win 7 64
GTX 780 ti 3gb
16gb ram, if that’s important.

Other Rift games, like Windlands, and Radial G, work great. I also had some head and positional tracking, in Dirt 3, DCS, and War Thunder, although it was extremely laggy.

I did get GTA to run but like F1, and Skyrim, there is no head or positional tracking. Other than that, the 3D is great and the visuals are nice, I just can’t figure out how to get head tracking working.

Thanks for any support.

I tried creating a copy of the .dat and renaming to .exe. Running this has no effect – nothing is started in the task manager. I reverted back to normal and ran vorpX in the normal way. Here is a screenshot from the task manager:

I can’t think of anything particularly special about this machine. Its actually pretty clean as it is new and just used for Oculus stuff.

Anything else I can try?

P.s. Outlast also has this issue.

I’m trying to play Outlast with DK2 and VorpX. Anyone else have tried this game? Any tips for the game settings?

Thanks!

Today i bought VorpX. Everything works perfectly (outlast and others) but if i play with Mirror’s edge the screen on the rift is rotated and i can’t get it rotated back and also the sensor works mirrored so like if i tilt the rift (dk2) left the screen turns right. What should i do?

Thanks for you time reading my help.
Any help apriciated.

Extended mode, set DK2 as primary monitor, and that’s it. Hooks and boots every time and head tracking is phenomenal. This experience alone was worth the $40 IMO. Such a fickle device. Outlast is pretty much the most reliable game on DK2 for me. Win 7, i5 2500k, AMD HD6870 w/ latest beta drivers if that helps. I held out even trying Whistleblower until I got the DK2 and now after playing some of the original again I’m so scared of the unknown I haven’t even tried it yet. Replaying the original, even on parts where I remember exactly what I’m in for its all nopenopenopenopenope quit.

I am interested in this too. I had Outlast working with vorpx on my DK1 but I cannot get it to hook with the DK2. I read on reddit and other forums that many people have gotten it to work. If any of those people could chime in it would be greatly appreciated.

[epengr]

I’ve tried everything I can think of, different executables (32&64), launcher with and without ‘-32’, direct or vorpx shortcuts, it just won’t hook.

Many other games work just fine.

Any suggestions?

I really hope to get Outlast working with DK2 soon

Hello!

I was testing out Outlast on my Oculus Rift DK2 and it seems that 3d only works when I use geometry mode. Is Outlast not supported with Z-buffer 3d? Many of the objects/effects and shadows are doubled when I use Geometry 3d, is it possible to fix this somehow?
If anyone got it working correctly with 3d what settings did you use?

Thanks!

Hey all,

I have looked for a topic on this but to no avail. I have these drivers working perfectly in Skyrim and Outlast. It looks great for a retro fit, I have no issues there. But I have had 3 BSOD’s now. 1 in Skyrim and 2 on Outlast. I have barely played these games for any amount of time, I only got the drivers last night and tested a little today. My system is fully stable and does not BSOD on any other games or programs, this has only started to happen with these drivers.

My question is, is there a known issue that can cause these, and how can it be fixed? And, If and when it happens again, what would you need me to collect in terms of data to help resolve this issue?

Im running a i5 4670K @ 4.4Ghz, RoG Maximus Ranger Vii, Avexir 2133C9 8GB RAM, MSI 780ti GPU 2x HyperX SSD’s on Windows 7 64.

Many thanks

Would it be fair to ask if we will hear anything by the end of August? I’ve got my DevKit 2 now and cannot wait to play Outlast on it. I’ve been saving that game up to scared the crap out of me.

[VirtualKaos]

same here, I just bought Vorpx and can’t get Portal 2 running either, it crashes right after the game starts.

Anyone have advice on settings? Other games, like Outlast, work just fine for me with Vorpx, but not this one.

[Ralf]

Update: Using the -32 switch isn’t needed anymore. The 64bit version works fine with the latest vorpX version.

[Ralf]

Outlast has to be started in 32bit mode. Either by starting the 32bit executable directly or with the parameter -32 in Steams launch options for the program.

I’ll look into 3D support, should be possible.

Hope that helps.
