In reply to: double screens
@ zneeger: reversed images should not be possible. There are however three things that can make it hard to converge:
1. The game is not set to the correct resolution (should be 1920×1080 for DK2)
2. The IPD is wrong: Dial in your IPD manually. Experiment with the setting, especially too high values cause problems. This can either be done in the config app or ingame.
If you use an Oculus profile in the vorpX config app, please set this option to “Do not use an Oculus profile”. Reading values from Oculus profiles is buggy in this vorpX version.
3. The 3D-Strength is set too high. If you changed this setting in the vorpX config menu, please lower it to the default value (1.0).

You can get Skyrim working with DK2 and Vireio Perception, but it’s really bad. It’s worth waiting for vorpX.

I will upload the video here soon, just too much else to do currently. A release date for the update will be announced shortly, it’s just not 100% ready for prime time yet.
In reply to: No sterepscopic 3D?
Hi! Installed Your program and run into the same problems in Life 4 Dead mode Z-Buffer 3D no effect. For the sake of experiment launched Half life 2 mode 3D Geometry everything works in the Z-Buffer no! But in the Life 4 Dead mode 3D Geometry is not there.
In reply to: More 3d
You should keep in mind that ‘more’ 3D is not automatically better in VR. For a realistic experience it is important to have settings that resemble what you see in the real world. If you raise the Eye Separation in Geometry 3D above 1.5 or so, you already get a 3D effect that is far stronger than what you see in reality. And the maximum value of 3.0 is far off from anything that could be called realistic, that’s why it’s capped there.
While it is certainly fun to experiment with stronger than natural 3D, for a realistic VR experience you usually don’t have to touch these values at all.
In reply to: Vorpx Driver Stopped Runing (windows APPCRASH eroor)
Which game(s) did you try? I need to know this to help trouble shooting.
This crash should only affect 64bit executables. Support for 64bit games is still a bit experimental.
This shouldn’t be a problem though, almost all games also have 32bit .EXEs, so one general thing you should try is using the 32bit version of the game. If you don’t know how to do this for a specific game, please let me know.
Another thing to try is temporarily disabling your virus scanner, and see whther that helps.
Also please take a look at the general trouble shooting guide above.
Hope that helps.
In reply to: How can i reset Profiles?
You might be pleased to hear that a ‘factory reset’ function was implemented in the meantime and will be available with the next update. So, no need to to stop experimenting in the near future. :)
In reply to: Feature sugestion: Mouse look alternative.
Hi guys,
I experimented with this today a bit, since it would be nice for a few more games. Keeping the button pressed automatically is easy in general, but can have side effects. I’m not sure whether there is a good way to handle it without side effects.
I’ll test a few additional things. If I find a way to make this work good enough, it will be added. No promises though.
Hi Schnippshly,
A (slighlty outdated) list of games that are supported in stereospic 3D can be found here: http://www.vorpx.com/games
To your second question: Unfortunately for almost all games some individual adjustments have to be made to make them in work in stereoscopic 3D, that’s why unsupported games ‘only’ work without stereoscopy.
Non-stereoscopic games are still a very immersive experience with vorpX BTW, since everything else (including full head tracking) works in most cases. To check how immersive the world still is without Stereo-3D, you can make a simple experiment: close one eye and see whether you are still immersed in the world. :)
In reply to: Battlefield 4
Oculus Prime, The correct exe is the bf4_x86 (not the bf4.exe)
It’s 32bit and it works perfectly with Vorpx, at least, for me.In reply to: Setting up for the first time
Hi Foxhound,
The safest settings display wise are “Use system settings” in vorpX and clone mode in the Windows display properties, combined with the Rifts default screen resolution of 1280×800 in game. Other settings might or might not work correctly, depending on graphics card, driver settings etc. So it’s best to use the ‘safe settings’ first, and experiment from there.
If the images still do not line up with these settings, you should try to lower the IPD a few millimeters, which might also be the cause of the issue.
Hope that helps.
In reply to: NBA2K14 Works and master games list
It is best played behind the player with the 2k or up and down court angles. The sideviews work too but not as immersive.
I wouldnt go out and buy 2k14 just for the Rift purposes but if you already own it like me it is worth experimenting with.
And by the way i ended up buying the console version too because the players dont seem to carry momentum on the pc version. Console is better in this rare instance.

In reply to: Moved: Reply To: How to Get the Most Out of vorpX?
Did you set Skyrims FOV to the recommended 100 via the console? You might also want to experiment with this value a little bit.
‘Smart’ AR-Correction is the only AR-mode that introduces top/bottom distortion. Maybe you have enabled the 2D-FOV-Enhancement, which also introduces distortion and should only be used as a last resort when no other FOV-Enhancement option is available.
In reply to: Resolution
The safest resolution is the native Rift resolution (1280×800).
Besides that, you can try every other resolution you want, and see how that works out. The ideal resolution for vorpX would be a resolution with 1:1 aspect ratio. If you want to experiment with custom resolutions and GPU scaling, you can try to get that working somehow.
If you destroy your Rift or graphics card while doing so, you’re on your own though.
