Thanks Ralf. I look forward to the next update.

Just one more question – I can’t get vorpx working with portal 2. I’ve disabled steam overlay, and use the shortcut method. The game loads but then crashes after the loading menu. Has there been any progress on this? Portal 2 would be awesome in the rift!

I had the same problem ( 30 second crash ) on both Portal 2 and Bioshock. Yesterday my wife was out for the night and I got a huge urge to play Bioshock. Since i’ve been trying everything possible to make it work with vorpx for the last few weeks , I decided to get a cracked version of the game ( feeling less guilty since I bought it on steam) And it worked , I played a few hours without any crashes. Dont know if this info can help you Ralf but I felt like sharing it.

We need 3d for Outlast now and the world will be perfect.

I’m having the exact same problem. Every since I installed Vorpx, Steam games that are expected to hook with Vorpx crash at the launcher or barely into the game.
This includes:
Bioshock Infinite
Skyrim
Portal 2

Other steam games work fine (i.e. XCOM, Dawn of War 2 – anything not advertised as compatible with Vorpx). I’ve completely uninstalled Vorpx and I still get the crashing. Anyone have any ideas?

I installed via steam and also have this issue. There were 2 games I wanted to play on vorpx: bioshock infinite & portal 2. They both have this same issue. It is a beta so I’m sure it’ll get resolved eventually. I tried portal but that was nasty so I’ll just wait…

I am also running into the same issue with Portal 2.

If it helps, I am running:
> gpu: dual crossfire 8750
> mobo: asrock extreme4
> cpu: AMD Sempron(tm) 145 Processor, 2800 Mhz, 1 Core(s), 1 Logical Processor … yes I need to replace the cpu soon. it was a mining rig and that cpu is a bottleneck.

Portal 2 will be looked into. One of those cases that aren’t reliably reproducible, unfortunately.

I had a play with the drivers last night. Overall I’m very impressed. Well done Ralf!

I thought I’d point out an issue in case it hasn’t come up before:

I created a profile in the configuration exe. I then deleted this profile (while the driver was running). After that whenever I tried to start the config exe I got the Windows message (I’m paraphrasing) “Vorpx config stopped working”. The configuration exe when never run again, and the same message apperaed whenever I tried to start the driver. I had to do a reinstall. All worked fine afterwards.

Aside from that, the only other issue is Portal 2 crashing out as soon as the game’s menu was about to appear (I removed Steam overlay and it still happened)

Still, very good work! :D

Hi thanks for the answer, unfortunately i tried the shortcut for games like skyrim, bioshock infinite, outlast, metro last light, portal 2… none of them worked. I cfan’t even access the in game menu of vorpx by pressing DEL.

Happy with Vorpx…steam Portal 2 crashes also. After about two minutes. Borderlands 2 on steam seems to work fine.

Should headtracking just work out the box?

Apparently so, but on the rare occasion that a game has loaded successfully for me (Portal, Dear Esther, L4D2) I’ve not had any head tracking despite what the configuration tool and the in game menu tell me.

[Aled B]

Okay this is beyond frustrating.

VorpX causes most games that I have which are listed as fully supported to crash to desktop.

You can add Portal 2 and GTA IV to what I’ve mentioned above.

I’m inclined to ask for a refund, as it simply does not work as advertised.

[Aled B]

Just tried Portal, and while I at least managed to start a game, there is no head tracking.

I’ve checked with other Rift apps and head tracking works fine, so what gives? What am I missing here?

This is probably the most anticipated piece of software for me in the next few months. I’m really looking forward to replaying portal 1/2, bioshock infinite and skyrim on it. I actually re-bought skyrim on steam (had in on xbox 360) just because of this driver and the omni. There are probably a handful of gamers such as myself that would pay a premium for early access to the driver :)

[redworm]

Hey, great job on doing this VorpX, I don’t want you to think that I am ungrateful, but please, the shipping has started, people started getting their headsets. The hype is up.

Now can’t you release a demo of your driver so we know that it is the real thing? One game wouldn’t hurt!

Something like Portal! (Why you should take Portal is because Valve will eventually make support for all their Source engine games) Anyhow, imagine showing your friends the Oculus and Portal for the first time. They would totally freak out!

And it’s fine if you don’t release something, but I think showing people that your driver indeed works will probably give you a few more donations and costumers later on.

Keep up the good work!

Definitely Battlefield 3.

Fallout 3 is a very good game, but it looks horribly outdated and will be bad with the rift I think.

Either you need a really good ‘photorealistic’ game like Battlefield 3, Crysis, Portal, Project cars, or a game with a particular style like Minecraft, Borderlands, dishonored.

Old games which tried to be ‘photorealistic’ looks very bad today. For exemple I can easily play at ratchet and clank because the cartoon style doesn’t look outdated, but games like the first tomb raiders, Vice city etc just look bad
