Hi! These games start the loading screen but wont attach and wont start, just load the title of the game, says its attaching and turn off without showijg ay message or open the vorpx hook helper menu. Titanfall 2 from game pass wich starts with the Ea play app, and Witcher 1 with steam.
With Titanfall I tried the Windows 8 compatibility mode and excluding ea apps in the vorpx menu too, like I saw in some forums here.
Played Psychonauts on Steam and it entered just changing the hook helper, and New Vegas with tweaks, both of them started without ahy problem and I did the seme steps fot those other games.
Trying tô play with Quest 3.
Anyone can help with these issues? New Vegas still works after I tried thoso two. Thabks!

It’s just a guess but i think…

If the image is out of proportion, it’s probably because your FOV (field of View) is too low (narrow), so you’re zoomed in.

It seems you can adjust FOV with this mod :
https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55085

Or simply with console command :
https://steamcommunity.com/app/22380/discussions/0/522730700808149795/
(But beware the achievements in this case, if it matters for you).

I suppose world Field Of view should be setted arround 120, then you lower it until it’s perfect for you.

Remember your perfect FOV value, it won’t change that much between games (except when games use vertical FOV, in which case you have to use lower value – multiply by 0.75 in 4:3 ratio).

I assume you use a 4:3 headset (Quest 3, Reverb G2 ?). Did you choose a 4:3 resolution ?
You should choose your resolution ratio and adjust zoom before adjusting FOV if you want a perfect experience.
You can raise resolution up to 2880×2160 or 3840×2880 (or more) if you want a very detailed image, but start with something low, as long as it’s 4:3.
Don’t forget using ClarityFX and raise sharpness before raising resolution (because it could be enough).

If you use an Aero, Pimax or other headset, it’s not 4:3.

Remember you can bind VorpX shortcuts (edgepeek, VorpX menu, recenter).

I normally play using my steam link/moonlight in my living room on my 3Dtv… I understand Vorpx monitors my environment for certain games to launch, in order to hook into them.
Is there a method to do it manually?
My intent is to be able to add a batch file (or anything else if possible) to steam (as a game)… Add it as a separate game that will specifically launch the game using Vorpx. This way if I’m in the mood to play a specific game with Vorpx I can selectively start it in this mode?
Or is this basically an all or nothing situation? (Meaning I have to go to my PC and either start or quit Vorpx for any specific game)?

now i’m on 21.3.5, and some games hook (jedi order and others), but many not (hl2, alan wake, jedi outcast)…is very strange…maybe only games on steam?

[matteo39]

alan wake

kotor 1 e 2

many games, before i can play it in 3d with vorpx, now, i can’t

why?

do i must change something? (steam configuration ecc..)

Your actual issue:

Maybe some weird issue related to Pimax’s software that puts itself in between vorpX and the headset. Reversed eyes are conceptually impossible with vorpX’s G3D method (at least unless the profile author intentionally inverted them, which obviously isn’t the case here).

Possibly related to the time vorpX hooks into the game (before or after Pimax initializes its stuff). Enabling alternative hooking in the config app may be worth a shot. That aside maybe check whether there is some stuff in the Pimax software you can turn off. Haven’t checked a Pimax headset in a long time, but a few years back they had some custom reprojection that could change the IPD and make things appear cross-eyed occasionally.

vorpX does not change the power plan. Some VR runtimes do howewer. At least the Meta (Oculus) runtime does. Not sure about Pimax.

OK, update.

Starting Game Consistently

It looks like I have VorpX, rFactor, and SteamVR consistenly playing good with eachother. I just try to start them in the following order: PiTool, VorpX, SteamVR, and reversed order for closing, and also I make sure to always close SteamVR (not Steam as a whole) once I’m out of any game along with starting the games from PiTool (which automatically opens SteamVR). Some of those steps may not be neccessary but the formula seems to work every time. I also make sure not to alt-tab out of the game. This caused issues last time with the SteamVR grid-environment being superimposed in the rFactor game and led to other issues too (had to end up closing game from task manager and then restarting all VR-related programs/services).

Parallel Projections

I forgot that Pimax’s Parallel Projections is a requirement for VorpX. It says right in the VorpX Pimax guide (which I’ve read multiple times). 3D is fine now

Remaining Issues

1. I still can’t get the head-movement to work without the entire game’s screen being locked to my head (unless I run in 1 of the interactive movie screen modes or whatever which). If I enable head-tracking, the entire screen is still locked to my head but, mixed with that, there’s a teeny, tiny but of proper head movement relative to the locked screen but it’s like 3% of the entire head movement compared to the locked-screen’s head movement.

If I enable the game’s mouse free-look setting, the camera / driver’s head suddenly looks upwards while spinning and falling to the ground.

If the game supports TrackIR / head-tracking (like rFactor and all games based on it’s engine), do we just rely on VorpX’s head-tracking being enabled? Or is the game’s mouse free-look setting supposed to be activated instead (via a game’s hotkey)? Or are they supposed to simultaneously be enabled/activated?

2. The 3D is basically perfect – the ISImotor (commonly referred to as the ISI GMotor) engine that rFactor runs on has always been one of the best native Nvidia 3D Vision games anyways so I’m not surprised – however there’s one issue. Lots of the vehicles’ in-car dash’s gauges (or on the car’s dash, steering wheel, etc.) are almost impossible to look at as they’re being rendered in only 1 eye but not the other (or sometimes only partially in the other eye). It’s extremely disorientating and headache inducing even if you don’t look at it.

This issue used to only occur with games running on the ISImotor engine if the particular game didn’t have a 3D Vision profile assigned to it. The fix is incredibly easy. With Nvidia Inspector in the Stereo section, make sure “StereoProfile” is set to “Yes” and “Stereo TextureEnable” is set to “0x00000001 COMMON_STEREO_TEXTURE_ENABLED”. After that, all the games’ cars’ dashes, gauges, display screens, etc. were fixed and PERFECT.

The problem is, there’s no more “StereoProfile” setting in Nvidia Inspector, and the “Stereo TextureEnable” setting only has literally one option to choose from: “0x00000001” (no writing after it). I know Nvidia removed 3D support from their drivers but I thought simply enabling these “bits” in Nvidia Inspector would still be available.

That shouldn’t be necessary since PSVR2 works with SteamVR. You should be able to use vorpX with the headset type set to SteamVR on the ‘General’ page in the config app.

Since that might be somewhat confusing: you can also play non-Steam games with SteamVR. Steam needs to be installed for SteamVR to work, but you can play any game with SteamVR.

Hi,

I’m having trouble with vorpX and a HTC vive.

I’ve gotten the SteamVR part working (can see the background with mountains, etc. But when I launch vorpx, then a game – it displays on the headset as a big cinema screen with the “SteamVR mountains” in the background. None of the vorpx keys work so I don’t think vorpx is being launched at all. Think I’m still in SteamVR somehow.

I also get the can’t hook in screen. None of the various options on that screen works.

Behaves the exact same way with several games. Haven’t launched succesfully at all yet. Suggestions?

Thanks!

[arimojo]

Thanks a lot for replying Ralf, I really appreciate it. Makes the decision to take the leap feel a little easier :)

I’d also love to hear from anyone who has a PSVR2 and GOG games, if it all works smoothly… You’d think it would work the same as any other VR headset, but I’ve heard that people have had issues with getting the PSVR2 to work with some UEVR games (some say it only works with the Steam version), so I’m hoping there aren’t any issues with PSVR2 and VorpX as well.

Really excited to experience some of my favourite AAA games in 3D!

vorpX supports the SteamVR VR runtime, so it works with everything that can handle SteamVR.

Steam has to be installed for SteamVR, but you can use it with games that aren’t on Steam just fine.

Hi, I’m new here. I have a PSVR2 and I’m excited to dive into PCVR, especially VorpX (because I already have most of the current VR games on PS5). Does PSVR2 (with the PC adaptor) work with VorpX? Particularly with non-Steam games, because I’ve bought so many games over the years from GOG for my ageing PC (many of which are apparently VorpX compatible) so I’d love to know if they will work with PSVR2, before I spend lots of money on a new PC that can handle VR :)

Quick tip: Witcher 3 on steam is one of those rare games that allow you to launch directly from the exe, even without steam running. Or at least my classic install does.

I stored a full backup of Witcher 3 classic before installing the Next Gen update, and renamed to something like witcher311.exe. I assigned this renamed exe to a copy of the old vorpX profile, and now I can run classic and next gen on two separate profiles.

But I just play classic really. I agree, it was perfect already, and looked better. I already had HD texture mods and over the shoulder camera mod.

[Florian-83]

Hello, good to hear that we may get a working profile soon. I tried a Steam downgrade to the Classic Version 1.32 as well, but VorpX refuses to start the game. “This Version of VorpX only works with The Witcher 3 4.0 or higher. Please make sure you have the latest The Witcher 3 version.” I don’t see any other official (Classic) profile in my local VorpX database. My VorpX Version is 24.1.0.

There are two interesting Gamestar test videos about the Witcher 3 Next Gen v4.0 update:

Beside the graphic aspect and some new features of the next Gen Version, isn’t it also about bug fixing (v1.32 ==> v4.04)? I have a VR potato anyway (Nvidia RTX 3060 mobile bottleneck), soo I’m fine with a working Classic profile as well.

Hey Ralf…

I have a question regarding the optimum way to run Vorps with the Crystal.

I’m wanting to upgrade from my Reverb G2, & I’m interested in the Crystal Light/super, so I’ve borrowed a pals orig Crystal to get a feel for it.
I’ve been able to run some SteamVR games on it using OpenXR & opencomposite with their PimaxXR no prob.
I’ve also had no issue running Vorpx games & GEO11/Desktop Viewer combo games through Steam VR, but I’ve noticed I’m not able to get a similar performance to what I was used to running on my G2 with openXR. In fact, I’m needing to knock down resolutions compared to what I’ve been using.

So I tried selecting Open XR in both the Vorpx settings & PimaxXR app. It works, but both Vorpx and Desktop viewer have an overall stuttery feel when looking around.

Is there anything you could suggest? Anything I’m doing wrong or missing?
Is Vorpx not setup to use OpenXR with Pimax?

Thanks. Adam
