In reply to: Prey(2007) and Quake 4 problem with new vorpx
I know this is an old thread, but in case anyone’s wondering what happened to Quake 4 support, with the current version of VorpX is absolutely perfect. It runs well, looks good and is a proper old-skool shooter. Bloody marvellous :)
with the new version of vorpx quake 4 and the first prey, which use the doom3 engine, they run perfectly, but wolfestein (2009, that uses the same engine) not working: vorpx shows the phrase “attaching to wolf2.exe”, but then the game does not appear in oculus .
what can I do?In reply to: play to star wars jedi academy with vorpx

Quake 4 profile doesnt show black screen anymore when pushing ESC. Though Quake3 profile (as far i remember) has HUD adjustment which is missing here. I have uploaded a profile to the cloud with G3D in FULL VR mode. Looks quite nice to me, push DEL for a nice 3rd person view. Only issue here is the HUD which still could be larger and better visible. Tell me if you like it.

I tried the ones Ralf suggested and the Quake 4 profile is the one to use with Neverwinter Nights: EE. You don’t need to remap edgepeek and all three modes work. Wish I could increase 3D strength a bit but there’s definitely SOME depth there, noticeable when adjusting camera. Very playable multiplayer if you like to use voice chat too.

The older the game the better the chance to get an OpenGL title working with stereo 3D. Good base profiles for experiments are Quake, Quake 2, Quake 3, Quake 4, Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 and Amnesia, which all use slightly different stereo approaches or settings. As a last resort try the D2X-XL profile, which still uses the outdated (but most compatible since simplistic) pre 18.1.0 implementation.

Theoretically yes, practically no. No Z3D in Q4. What you can try is an ini tweak to disable the framerate cap. I removed that from the settings optimizer due to the timing issues outlined above, but maybe faster moving speed and similar glitches are less distracting for you than the 3D glitch:
1. Navigate to [Quake 4 install]\q4base
2. Open Quake4Config.cfg with a text editor
3. search for ‘com_FixedTic’ without the quotes, change the value to 1If ‘com_FixedTic’ is not in your ini, add it at the end of the file EXACTLY as below
seta com_FixedTic "1"
-1 is also supposed to do something, but didn’t when it was tested.

DX11 TESO has Z3D, that what made clear in the changelog and nothing else was ever said anywhere. You should pester Zenimax to bring back DX9 support, the game had good Geometry 3D before they axed that. 😉
Not sure what your issues may be with Prey 2007 and Quake 4, they work perfectly fine normally. If you installed them under C:\Program Files please make sure that you have write access to the game folders to ensure vorpX can change their config files.
Alternatively try to install them somewhere else where Windows does not block write access per default.
Also make sure to use the Steam versions of Quake 4/Prey 2007. Direct VR will probably not work on old CD versions (or versions you can ‘obtain’ on the internet).
elder scrolls online continues to have problems with the new version of vorpx: the 3d effect is minimal and faded, and it is better to use the “warhammer vermintide” game profile to play online elder scrolls rather than the official profile …
I’m a little disappointed by the new promises of the new vorpx: even quake4 and prey (2007) did not have the promised improvements

I tried quake4 with the latest release and something isn’t quite right. It feels like the left and right eye images are out of sync when you turn quickly. The depth perception breaks down and then reappears when the image isn’t moving. It also feels like something similar is happening when enemies and other stuff are moving around quickly. It all gets very confusing, which is a shame because it looks and runs nicely when stuff isn’t moving around.
I followed all the instructions and haven’t messed about with anything other than the stuff recommended by vorpx.
This is with a Nvidia 1080 on the latest drivers

sorry, i wrote the message in italian:
this is the message in english:
prey(2007) and quake 4 (which both have the same graphics engine) continue to have problems with the g3d: the headache comes to play because the view is distorted
prey e quake 4 (che hanno entrambi lo stesso motore grafico) continuano ad avere problemi con la g3d: viene il mal di testa a giocarci perchè la visuale è distorta
In reply to: VorpX – 3D-Vision
vorpX should be able to hook into most OpenGL games, but only for those that use a fairly old OpenGL version (to be precise the original OpenGL fixed function pipeline), there is a chance of 3D. With a few exceptions this mostly means games up to ~2005 (Doom3/Quake4 era).
For fan made mods of older games that might also apply, no harm in trying. The Quake 3 profile is a good base profile for checking unknown OpenGL games.
Hello guys.
I just bought my Oculus Rift, and the bought vorpx. I did Oculus’ tutorial, SteamVR tutorial, played a bit of Lucky’s Tale and The Lab.
On all these tests, VR graph was great. Almost as great as in my monitor. Indeed, in some The Lab environments I really felt I was inside it, given the quality of texture and lighting.
Then I went to vorpx, and graphics are bad. And very very bad. I first tried Outlast (coincidently, it’s for free on Humblebundle!). Used 1920×1440 with no performance issues, but graph was very ugly, much worse than monitor. It seems the game is in 8bit color…
Maybe it was because the game is very dark, so I tried Oblivion. But again, very ugly graphics, as if in 8bit color. I made some tweaks changing its fov, its resolution, no luck.
In both games I applied Optimize Settings.
Also, sometimes menu texts are almost unreadable, in both immersive and EdgePeek modes. Even vorpx ingame menu is very hard to read.
I started to believe it was Rift’s lack of quality, but I went back to Lucky’s Tale and its graph is great.
Considering that monitor graph is 100%, I’d give The Lab a 95%, Lucky’s Tale a 85%, and both Outlast and Oblivion not even 20%.
Really, it’s so bad that games are unplayable. It’s not a matter of resolution, headache, disorientation. I’m feeling no sickness at all and my GTX 1070 is easily running these games. It’s that colors are very very bad, even worse than old Quake colors.
Anything I can try? This is very frustrating because I really wanted to play horror and TES games on VR. I wasn’t expecting to have the dame image quality of my monitor, but I can’t play games this ugly.
In reply to: Revised list of recommended games
The best games to start with are undoubtedly those with Direct VR support. After applying Direct VR these have perfect 1:1 head tracking and perfect FOV without the need for any further setup. In *some* cases Direct VR even provides basic roomscale, i.e. you can walk around a bit more freely than with the normal vorpX positional tracking.
In no particular order:
Bioshock 1 (original version in DX9 mode)
Bioshock 2 (original version in DX9 mode)
Bioshock Infinite
Borderlands 2
Borderlands Pre-Sequel
Skyrim (original DX9 version is best for VorpX)
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
Fallout 4
Dishonored
Half-Life 2 (incl. Ep. 1+2)
The Stanley Parable
Dear Esther (Source engine version)
Portal
Portal 2
Black Mesa
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Left 4 Dead 2
Mirror’s Edge
Aliens Colonial Marines
Duke Nukem Forever
Quake III
Star Trek Voyager Elite Force
Return to Castle Wolfenstein [2001]My latest personal recommendation would be Half-Life 2 Episode 1, which I just recently played for two hours. Something I don’t do nearly as often as I’d like to these days. Call me heavily biased, I am for sure, but that was more fun than 99% of made for VR games. I actually ended up doing that after buying and trying a bunch of highly praised made for VR titles the same evening.
In case someone never played HL2 Episode 1: right at the start you enter an alien fortress, which not only still looks great after all these years, it’s also a perfect-for-VR mix of shooting sequences and (easy) physics puzzles. Most importantly: all that in a highly intense atmosphere that almost inescapably sucks you into the game. Creating such an intense atmosphere is the hard part of making good single player shooters and it really makes all the difference in VR. Hard to top if you ask me.
Similar things could be said about Bioshock, Black Mesa (Half-Life 1 remake), the Fallout games, Skyrim or – insider tip – Aliens: Colonial Marines, which may just be a mediocre shooter on the monitor, but is actually great with vorpX.
Important side note: whenever possible play standing with Touch controllers or Vive wands!
One last thing: not a Direct VR game, but also extremely intense (and visually great) is Resident Evil 7. I chickened out before the introduction mission was over. Good luck with that one.
