Ralf would know better, but as to your second question I think you have to turn off the 360 controller in Skyrim’s menu for the head tracking to work properly. I was asking about disabling the vorpX emulation so that I could try and use a third party app (Xpadder) to map the controls.

Hi Ralf,

Really excited DK2 support is available in Alpha – fascinating to see how the software progresses.

I hope these aren’t stupid questions – if they are still bugs, am happy to just see how they get ironed out over coming weeks.

1) When using either keyboard / mouse or an xbox controller with the DK2 and Skyrim, the controls behave quite strangely. Half the time they will carry out their emulated behaviors, and half the time they will bump me on to my windows desktop. I have refrained from rebinding, because I’m anticipating that these might just be alpha teething problems, and if so I guess I’m happy to just wait until these are resolved.

2) When I try to disable the vorpx gamepad controls in the del menu, and give it back to skyrim to control all headtracking shuts down.

Any thoughts?

Well I have an issue with the headtracking in Skyrim. I can look up/down + left/right but when I tilt my head the vision does not.

for eg. this is what i see directly in the rift but not converged, in other words its mirroring in both extended and cloned mode exactly what i see on the desktop

No one praising this one yet?? What the hell?? Looks fantastic!! The scale and 3D could not be better. One fix had to be made …shadows flickering. The fix… in the skyrimprefs.ini change bDeferredShadows=1 to bDeferredShadows=0 …for some reason it has fixed the shadow problem either way if its zero make it 1 …if its 1 make it zero. People complaining about Vorpx costing 40 dollars are insane. Skyrim alone is worth the forty dollars. Excellent job Ralf! You can just hang by the river looking up at the immense mountains in awe that you are in Skyrim!!!

I am using some focal offset in Skyrim on the DK2 and it looks fantastic. However when I tilt my head it seems like the offset is not being applied correctly – I think it should tilt with your eyes, not remain level with the world. As a result I get double vision whenever I tilt my head.

Other than this issue I am really enjoying the new VorpX, you have done an amazing job.

Never tried an external gamepad tool tbh, you should be able to use xpadder if you change the “Handle gamepads internally” option in the vorpX menu ([DEL]). You can also change key bindings for the internal gamepad emulation there, that will most likely be enough, except for complex multi-key macros.

Skyrim runs below 60fps on most machines outside, hence the judder. Reducing graphics settings will help, also vorpX’s “G3D Latency Enhancement” (input page of the ingame menu). If you can live without Geometry 3D, Z-Buffer 3D doubles your framerate, but has a less convincing 3D-effect and no positional tracking.

First of all, great work so far Ralf. For a beta injector I’m pretty impressed with the work you’ve done. I searched for answers to my questions but didn’t find what I was looking for in the forum.

I have Skyrim running fine with the DK2, positional tracking and all. However I’m vexed by the controls. I prefer to use an Xbox gamepad with games like Skyrim so that I can sit back and relax while using the rift. I’m aware that you suggest turning off gamepad support via the game menu in favor of the built in controller emulation. I am, however, finding that the controls are quite finicky using the gamepad with the emulation.

I tried using Xpadder to create my own controller map but it conflicts with the built in emulation and leads to all kinds of problems.

My questions are as follows:

1) Is there a control map that shows the Skyrim gamepad controls used by the vorpX emulator, and can they be remapped?

2) Is there a way to disable the built in emulation so that I can use Xpadder instead without the conflict? I’d like to have access to the vorpX-specific macros like [SHIFT][SPACE] to recenter, middle mouse key to edge peek (seems to be initiated with Start with vorpX emulator…?) and shift+middle mouse key etc.

Controls and judder are my two biggest roadblocks to enjoying Skyrim in DK2 right now. That actually brings up another questions, is there a way to see the FPS in game without a third party app like FRAPS? I know you don’t recommend FRAPS, but I think performance is to blame for my stuttering issues. I have a 3770K and two 780Ti’s (SLI disabled per your suggestion) but I still need to play with the graphics options to get smoother experience. I think the graphics are still set to Ultra and I do have some texture mods, I’ll have to play around with them to get an acceptable framerate.

But yeah, TL:DR – gamepad controls, is there a key map and is it rebindable and barring that, can I disable the emulation to use Xpadder, and FPS counter.

Thanks for your time, keep up the good work!

ok, I think I have fallout 3 and skyrim working. I was using an emb with skyrim and I think that was causing vorpx to not “hook in” and recognize. As for new vegas I changed the resolutions, but still I’m getting the render error. Here is a new question. I’m using an xbox 360 controller and everytime I play skyrim or fallout 3 I don’t have any head tracking and need to use the right analog stick and suggestions on this issue?

[Ralf]

Positional tracking is Skyrim only currrently. More games to follow.

Regarding FOV please refer the the “How to get the most out of vorpX guide” in the documentation. There are several strategies how to deal with this.

For Bioshock vorpX offers a pretty easy one by using the ‘Game settings optimizer’ in the config app. If the optimized settings are not applied for some reason in your case, you can also use the built in “3D FOV Enhancement” or edit the according .ini manually. You can usually find short tutorials for many games by googling for “FOV + gamename”.

I have the feeling that positional tracking is behaving strangely. When I move my head left or right, the camera also moves forward. And when I move my head forward while I’m looking down, the camera also moves down. I also feel that the in-game positional tracking does not move as much as I do in real life, is there any way to adjust it?

Thanks Ralf! I got it to work by making sure the resolution of Skyrim is 1920×1080. And i set my other monitor to extend desktop instead of clone with my rift as primary monitor. makes it a little tricky to start a game but hey it works.

Skyrim looks really great with the rift so kudos to vorpx for making it work.
One problem I have is the foliage in the game seems to be flashing a little bit (like a neon lightbulb, but only a small value change) which gets nauseating after a while. It could be my quality settings are too high though. have to experiment.

Please send a screenshot of the processes tab of your task manager showing all running processes to support |at| vorpx com . Maybe we can spot something you overlooked. Skyrim is definitely not known to cause such issues regularly, this almost certainly is a local issue.

Along with it please also send your vorpx.log after trying to launch the game a few times. The logfile can be found in your temp folder. Usually C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\temp

This will be looked into tomorrow. It’s very late here already, also Sunday.

Did you try other games BTW?

So, I’ve run through the troubleshooting completely and checked my Skyrim folder, but still no love.

I did uninstall the Nvidia 3D driver and hoped that helped, but nothing changed.

I’ve completely wiped and reinstalled Skyrim fresh. Nothing. Skyrim starts on my main screen and there’s no VorpX menu.
