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?

The first update (due in a week or so) will have quite a few changes regarding the startup process. This should help with many (hopefully most) Steam/VAC related crashes on game start.

disabled steam overlay reset to defaults on my radeon 7970 and now I am getting the following message right after I press play in the menu

The direct3d 11 device has been removed or has crashed. This requires the game to exit. please ensure you have the latest drivers for your graphics device and restart the game. the sound still plays in the background until I clear the message

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…

Just finished setting this game up and …wow!!! Looking forward to the high def res rift with this one. I have been playing this game in 3D for quite some time..but does not come close to what the rift does for this game. I found the following online and was for me.. very helpful….

For FOV changes Basically add the lines

Bindings=(Name=”F8″,Command=”FOV 100″,Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
Bindings=(Name=”F9″,Command=”FOV 110″,Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
Bindings=(Name=”F10″,Command=”FOV 120″,Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)

to the [Engine.PlayerInput] part of your “AliceInput.ini” file (found in MyFiles\My Games\Alice Madness Returns\AliceGame\Config) … F8-F10, cause F11 doesn’t seem to work and F12 is reserved for Steam screenshots. Use whatever FOVs you like.

…but no stereoscopic.

All games I’ve tried have head tracking,
but everything is rendered for a monitor and is spread across both eyes on the rift.

I’m having trouble creating shortcuts for steam games to get the vorpx “hooks” working. And Farcry 3 is uplay, so forget that!

I also get no ingame menu when I hit the DEL key. No mouse middle wheel peek mode.

I’ve rebooted too many times, running the drive as administrator.

Any help would be appreciated.

not sure directx for Outlast. Its just supposed to be really scary so thought it could be fun.

When the driver works for the unsupported games it works really well and then sometimes it doesnt do anything. It seems to work more often than not so that is good. No complaints as I am having fun.

I am sure you will figure out more stuff as we go along just wanted to make sure wasnt missing out on something for the random games in my collection that dont want to convert at the moment.

Thanks!

This might seem like a no brainer but after removing Steam.exe from the exclusion list at least Street Fighter X Tekken and Ace Combat Assault Horizon started working for me for the first time.

Are there other tricks for dealing with Steam? Most of my games run through it. I cant get Outlast to start in Vorpx mode and I would love to see that one working.

If you can’t get a game to work, here are a few things to try:

Is vorpX Control running?

The first thing you should check is whether vorpX Control is running. If it does, it displays a tray icon in your taskbar.

Possible conflicts with other programs

If vorpX can’t attach to a supported game, interfering background programs are the most likely reason. The best way to troubleshoot this is disabling/uninstalling programs running in the background. Typical candidates are:

• Virus scanners. If in doubt, switch to Windows Defender (good proection, yet less invasive than some others).
• CPU/GPU utilities, e.g. fpsVR, MSI Afterburner, ASUS GPU Tweak, GeForce Experience
• Game/desktop recording/streaming apps, e.g. Fraps, Dxtory, OBS Studio, Splashtop, AnyDesk, TeamViewer
• Messengers/chat programs, e.g. Skype, Mumble, Evolve, Discord
• Game client overlays, e.g. Steam/Uplay/Origin/GOG Galaxy game overlays
• Trainers, game hacks and mod/script injectors
• Generally everything that can show notifications in games

Another potential fix for hooking issues is creating vorpX desktop shortcuts. Doesn’t work well though with most games that require a client like Steam/UPlay/Origin etc., so their use is rather limited. To create a vorpX desktop shortcut right click the vorpX tray icon, choose “Create Desktop Shortcut”, then navigate to the games .EXE and double click it.

Trying another DirectX version (DX9-DX11)

If a game supports multiple versions of DirectX, try all of them. Usually all should work to some degree, in some cases there are hints displayed on startup which one works better. If one completely refuses to work for you, maybe you have better luck with another one.

Multiple monitors

If you have more than one monitor attached to your PC, remove all additional monitors temporarily and see whether that makes a difference.

SLI/Crossfire

If you have a dual GPU system with SLI/Crossfire, disable this function. It might or might not work, but is currently completely untested and thus not supported.

Notebook graphics (e.g. nVidia Optimus)

Gaming notebooks typically have two GPUs. A slower one built into the CPU for dispalying the desktop and normal applications and a distinct GPU for games and other graphics heavy programs. If you encounter issues with such a notebook, try to disable the CPU graphics if possible (e.g. in the BIOS).

Intel GPUs

If you use an Intel graphics chip, you’re on your own, at least for now. System requirements for vorpX include nVidia/ATI graphics. Judging from feedback, many things seem to work with Intel, but this is completely untested. Also for some things there are distinctive nVidia/ATI rendering paths in vorpX, those won’t work at all on Intel.

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

please send a mail to support |at| vorpx com with a brief description of your issue

These are the only two games i got that i think that should work with my Oculus and Vorpx

[Ralf]

If this happens constantly try to disable the Steam Overlay. Shouldn’t be an issue, but is worth a try.

Also: Do other Steam games work, or are only these two failing?

[bimse1234]

WHen i try to open black ops 2 and metro LL it just goes black screen and says the game stops working. WHen i stop the Vorpx they work again. Why? :s

[Ralf]

Laszlo, vorpX beta is out for barely three days. Of course we will investigate this. What did you think? Also vorpX beta is and was sold as beta software, which is also displayed on screen the whole time, to avoid possible misunderstandings.

I’m really sorry that Bioshock Infinite right now is not working for you. Mind if ask if other games work for you?

You may also take at look at the following general trouble shooting guide, maybe it contains something useful for you:

First and foremost: If you happen to use any DLL override (like ENB Series, SweetFX or similar) for a game you want to try: Get rid of those. There should never be any d3d9.dll, d3d10.dll, d3d11.dll, dxgi.dll, xinpunt or any other system dll override in a games directory that does nor belong there. vorpX ‘hooks’ into these system DLLs, additional overrides can create all sorts of conflicts.

The same is true for any other kind of injector (like the script injectors for various Bethesda games). They might or might not work. if in doubt, disable them.

Disable any other stereo driver you might have running (nVidia 3D Vision for example).

If in doubt, disable all programs that can show content over DirectX. Skype, Mumble, Fraps, SteamOverlay are typical cases. This should usually cause no issues, but if you have problems, it’s always worth a try to temporarily disable those programs or their in-game windows.

Same as above for Desktop Streaming Applications like Splashtop. Try to disable and see whether things work better this way

vorpX only works with 32bit application at this time. This is important for example in WoW, which also has a 64bit version. The latter will not work with vorpX.

If a game has different .EXEs for DX9 and for example DX11, try both. Usually both should work to some degree, in some cases there are hints displayed on startup which one works better. If one completely refuses to work for you, maybe you have better luck with the other one.

If you have an SLI or Crossfire (dual graphics card) system disable this. It might or might not work, but is currently completely untested an thus not supported.

Disable any graphics ‘accelerator’ (Lucidlogix Virtu for example) if you use something like this.

If you use an Intel graphics chip, you’re on your own, at least for now. System requirements for vorpX include nVidia/ATI graphics. Judging from feedback, many things seem to work with Intel, but this is completely untested. Also for some things there are distinctive nVidia/ATI rendering paths in vorpX, those things won’t work at all on Intel.

Final note: There are a games that work great for some people but cause problems for others. Nothing uncommon in the wonderful world of Windows. We are trying to resolve those issues, but fixing things that can’t be replicated consistently, is sometimes tough. There might (and will) be cases were fixing issues that apply only to some will take some time.
