Topic: Portal 2 @ 3840×2880
Can’t get the game to run at this 4×3 resolution. The 2K max in the game is too blurry.
Anyone have any suggestions?
3d is weird, it’s like the world is flattened half a meter in front of you. Head tracking is misaligned, it overshoots the angles (if I look down 30 degrees the view is moved by more than that). For some reason, stick turning can change x-rotation (further misaligning the view with the actual eye direction), when previously it would only rotate around the y-axis, as it is supposed to.
These problems have been there for a while, but I played HL2 and Episode 1 in Garry’s Mod instead. Episode 2 just won’t run in Gmod though (can’t get out of the train because the animations for Alyx getting you out don’t load) so I’d like to play Episode 2 with Vorpx at least. But as I said it’s broken, same way as the main game when I tried months ago.
I already tried resetting the HL2/Portal profile to factory settings but that didn’t fix it.
In reply to: ESO Elder Scrolls Online Problem
Still a pain in the ass. While other games are hooking fine, ESO doesn’t most of the time. Something must have changed since the last ESO patch. Mostly I need several Windows reboots to hook ESO. When it failed once, even a restart of mixed reality portal, voprx and steam vr does not change things. I have to complete restart the PC and hope.
In reply to: How to set up a new game?
hi,
first you search for what engine the game uses.
then you search a game on vorpx game list who uses the same engine.
then you create a copy of this game and you attach the exe file of the game you want to play.if you’re lucky, G3D or Z3D or both work, if you’re unlucky you can try another game vorpx profile.
when the game hook and you’re ingame, you have to set a few things but it’s more a mater of tastes than something else, like 3D strength, headtracking strength, and more to tweak.
you must also tweak game settings to have decent performance and most of the time you have to reduce post effects fx else it can cause graphic glitches but not always the case.
you must also try to tweak fov specially for first person games, you can use for unreal engine 4, unreal engine unlocker tool which is great, but it doesnt supportall ue4 games.
or you can try to tweak fov via game ini file.
with experience you’ll learn how to make quickly working profile.
for more experienced users you can even tweak shaders with advanced vorpx shader tool, but i’m too noob for this.
hope that helps. if you have more questions go ahead.
In reply to: Borderlands 3 Sniping reticle
Thank you so much! I actually had figured that out on my own while playing Portal and was just coming here to comment that I had resolved the issue – after confirming it actually did resolve the issue in Borderlands 3.
In reply to: Any way to get Dishonored rendered above 1440p?
That did it! Every resolution problem i had has been solved by this. Resident Evil 7, Half Life 2, Black Mesa, Portal, Dishonored, Bioshock, they all look better than i couldve imagined!
The problem was that i tried to be clever when setting the custom resolutions and used 90hz.
Now at 60hz every game lets me choose them and its incredibly beautiful! My Monitor is still at 1440p@165hz and i strangely have to use fullscreen in my headset everywhere to get the desired resolution but it works great!Thank you so much!
There is also antivirus issues and game specific issues – if I remember right portal 2 refused to hook in any way for me until I ran it windowed for example.
In reply to: N00b trying Portal 2, so far unsuccessful
Resolution:
you can raise the game resolution for better image quality in the game’s video options. Note that for Portal 2 it has to be a 4:3 resolution (e.g. 1920×1440). If your PC does not support this resolution, check the “custom resolutions” section in the vorpX help for a step-by-step guide.
FOV:
Did you run the DirectVR memory scanner? The right value should be cached for Portal 2, but in case the game has been updated recently, you might have to re-run the scanner. There should be a message popping up about that in the headset as well as in the top/left corner of the game window.
After a successful scanner run the FOV is adjusted to fit the FOV of your headset and you get 1:1 low latency tracking including positional tracking.
General:
The “Essential Hints Guide” in the vorpX help has a lot of useful information that helps you understand how vorpX works.
Greetings to more experienced Vorpxers. I recently tried it out for the first time, hoping to use my Quest 2 to play Portal 2 (best game ever!) in true 3D. It was not a happy first test drive.
(Note: I’ve been successful in getting Virtual Desktop working and playing SteamVR games wirelessly, so I’m not a total Quest 2 n00b, just a Vorpx n00b. Win10, Steam, AMD 5700XT, i8700K, loads of RAM, Quest 2, official Link cable)
I used my Link cable to try Vorpx because I had read that it did not play well with VD. Vorpx installed and launched successfully and the Configure app seemed to work OK. I chose appropriate profiles from the games menu. Everything seemed to be going according to the readme.
But, whether I tried Portal or Portal 2, I had similar deal-breaker issues: really poor rez, my avatar seemed to be 8 feet tall, major crawl and jaggies (like no AA at all), and huge distortion in peripheral vision, like every time I turned my head the world was stretching and bending in a very disturbing way.
I got VRsick very fast, less than 10 minutes, just looking around and walking (never got to any portal-jumping!) and had to quit — and this is a new problem for me, I never get VRsick. After playing, my eyeballs hurt (also a new experience).
Instead of a seamless VR experience I seemed to be looking at a spherical projection screen (a rectangle wrapped around a sphere) floating in a big gray limbo. Maybe this is how it’s supposed to look? I could zoom in to this projection and then it (sorta) seemed like 3d, but with the awful distortion everywhere outside the central focus area. Also head turning seemed to be overmapped bigtime, like small head movements resulted in disproportionate camera rotation (also making me dizzy).
Anyway my Vorpx first test flight was a bummer. I’m hoping I just have missed some obvious configuration options (dumb n00b error) and it actually works much better than that, ‘cos I can’t understand how it got good reviews based on my fairly horrible experience. If anyone else has succeeded with Portal 2 in particular, I’d sure like to know what you did right.
In reply to: Titanfall 2 – No Direct VR button ?
No that’s not it. The game is hooked and don’t use cinema mode.
Usually when I play games with vorpX (HL2, Portal, Bioshock…) I need to hit the DirectVR button so that vorpX adjust rotation, fov, tracking.
With Titanfall 2, the DirectVR button is not available (I can’t find it anywhere).In reply to: Far Cry 3 + 4 not working with newest vorpx
Hi Ralf,
thanks for your reply. I’ve already tried to install the hook helper. It asked what kind of directx version game it is. After choosing DirectX 10/11 a success dialog appears but the game won’t start. All I see is the Far Cry 3 logo an the screen. Two things changed since the last time I played Far Cry:
– I use the HP Reverb G2 with WMR Portal
– a new vorpx version was installed
Does ist work for you? Maybe you can try this out when you get a chance. It is not so urgent. Enjoy Christmas DayIn reply to: Cyberpunk 2077
The second framerate depends on your headset, 80 is what Rift S uses, most other PC headsets do 90. The only way to change it would be your headset software if it has such an option. Unsure about the G2, other WMR headsets typically support 60 and 90, which can be changed in the WMR portal.

@ johndoe: FYI, I’m using an RTX 2070, and I’ve got an issue that might be related. After playing Cyberpunk for 5-10 minutes in vorpX, the frame rate slows to a crawl. I have to exit out of Cyberpunk and restart to bring the frame rate back to normal. I also sometimes get crashes, but that seems to happen most frequently when I jump out of Cyberpunk to Windows and back (Alt-tab, for example). I’m still experimenting, so I’ll let you know if I figure out what’s going on.
@ Ralf: On a totally separate note, I’ve been wondering if there is a way for me to configure snap turning in Cyberpunk. I’m pretty new to vorpX (and LOVE LOVE LOVE it). I noticed in Portal that snap turning works brilliantly. I looked throughout all all the input settings, and I briefly searched these forums, though, and I can’t figure out *why* snap turning works in Portal. I’m assuming that the vorpX Portal profile maps the right control stick to do a quick X mouse movement to simulate a snap turn, but I can’t find any profile options that would do something like this. Could I beg some advice on this? I’d love to be able to implement snap turning on my own for this and other games if possible. Thank you for all you do!!!
I face a problem and I run out of options of what could be the issue of games not running in VorpX. Games that worked was Half-Life 2, Portal, Fallout 3, and Fallout Las Vegas. Checking on other people facing similar issues I read all previous options of what could I do about it and I did all these steps. Reinstall VorpX, disable and uninstall AV program, disable any overlays that could influence the VorpX to hook up to the game, check if there is any unnecessary DLL, checking if the game is running in DX11 not DX12, trying to change resolutions for games, uninstall games and install again, run games and VorpX as admin, use alternative hooking method. All the games I checked are compatible with VorpX and should work without hassle and they are bought and I own them. At this point, I really can’t find a solution to what the issue could be and what could make it work. If there are any smart guys out there, please help me to solve this issue because I am hanging on to this for weeks without any progress. I know VorpX working and its hooking on to games, but it dose not for most of the compatible games that should work.
