First please restart SteamVR.

If that does not help: If the desktop viewer works, but games do not, it’s quite likely there is some conflict with another program on your PC that also hooks into games. Most likely candidates are: virus scanners, GPU/CPU utlilities, video streaming apps and generelly everything that can display notifications in games.

Please try to disable everything that would not be running after a fresh Windows install.

I restarted steam, and my computer. It still seems to be happening, the games are just black, with the game flickering up every now and then. I just reinstalled vorpX, I will try to give it another try tonight

[Kyronami]

Nothing I try will work, not even the vorpX desktop viewer will work. Everything I try I get a black screen and this error

“Initializing the VR compositor failed. Please check whether steamVR is installed correctly”

My steam vr is installed fine and I can play VR games no problem

[grodenglaive]

Here’s the debug report. It’s trying to launch but doesn’t quite make it.
I tried a second time and did not get an error; but there was no picture, only sound. Main screen was black, Vive was grey.
Note that I had disabled the Oculus runtime, since it was also launching along with steamvr and that didn’t work out.

The games are supposed to not show anything on the monitor, that is perfectly normal. You can enable that in the vorpX menu, but that is not recommended.

They should however show in the headset. If they don’t, please first make sure that SteamVR is running. If it already is running, try to restart it.

[Ralf]

The Oculus software always gets activated. No way around that.

Please make sure to NOT activate “Multi threaded input” in the vorpX menu. This option is of no use anymore and may lead to choppy head tracking. It will be removed with the next version. Other than that: vorpX emulates the mouse for head tracking. Unless your mouse works choppy in games there shouldn’t be an issue.

Swapped eyes are technically impossible with vorpX. There may be some objects shown at wrong depth in some games though, which may lead you to this assumption.

Steam VR should be OFF for the Rift. It only is required for Vive, but not for Oculus!

Hi Ralph, thanks for the ‘heads up’!
JoeMoore, i’m sorry mate, don’t have a clue what your talking about…

@Ralph,
i’ve finally managed to launch rFactor, rFactor2 and also R6 Siege (not supported, just as test).

Now, here’s some more Q’s.. i’m not complaining here, just checking if that’s expected or i’m messing something (not that unusual :)

Q1 – the Oculus Home software/virtual menu will allways start everytime i kick a game’s exe. Even if i close it’s tray icon, once i click either game or vorpx game shortcut it opens the Oculus Home and the virtual menu on the HMD’s.. Is that okay?? Isn’t this stealling system resources? And that takes me to Q2

Q2 – all 3 mentioned games have very poor headtracking.. it feels like it’s snnaping on a grid or something, like 5FPS, it’s unbearable. And the DK2 loading icon keeps showing and the screen freezes like it’s struggling to process the thing.. wich can’t be with my specs! So, what’s going on here?

Q3 – Left and Right images are inverted in the HMD’s, it was particulary noticed in rF2. Right eye is getting left image and vice versa, and i don’t find any option to switch it. The in-game menu options for changing axis does nothing..
But the stereo is there, seems very promising, except for the L/R being messed up and the poor head tracking FPS. I mean, coming from PCARS on Steam VR, wich is smooth as silk, so far my short experience with vorpx hasn’t been.. the best :(

Q4 – last one… to run Steam games, Steam VR should be ON or not?? Some games like RaceRoom need a -vr launch setting to kick VR. Should i use such with vorpx?

Ralph, i get you’re VERY busy mate, but please try to follow the Q’s, it makes it a lot easier for me and others to LEARN stuff. I work in videogame industry and we’re just discovering the virtues of VR ;)

Thanks!

PS – before someone asks about R6 Siege experience.. you can use your ‘nose’ as a pointer, but the image is too blurry (DK2) and theres zero stereo atm, all you get is headtracking and extra zoom for that special HS, but besides that, it’s not worthy… yet! (not vorpx problem here, game needs VR development)

[Weretiger]

I think that it’s best for vorpX not to hit steam. I haven’t bought or tried vorpx yet (waiting for Vive), but it seems that you will need to adjust some settings in some games to make them work optimal.

I am willing to make that sacrifice, but I believe (this is an assumption) that the majority of users on Steam are more of the plug and play kind. Because of this, I believe (assumption again) that vorpx will not get very good ratings on Steam. Aka “X game doesn’t work on vorpx! Negative rating, refund!”, without messing with that game’s settings.

But hey, I’m not an expert on this. Don’t take my word on it!

[red]

If you’re running apps in the Rift from Oculus Home (Lucky’s Tale, JauntVR, etc) then you’ve got the Oculus Runtime installed. Oculus Home is just a front-end for the Oculus Store, but requires the Runtime to work just like VorpX. So if you can run Lucky’s Tale then you’re in a good position to run VorpX.

So; with Oculus Home running on your monitor (showing ‘Store’ and ‘Library’ in the top left) and in the Rift (with ‘Welcome to Oculus Home’ heading) you can then run VorpX… when it’s running there is an icon in the taskbar notification panel (don’t run the VorpX Desktop Viewer).

You might want to right-click the VorpX icon and ‘Configure VorpX’ to use the ‘Game Setting Optimizer’ for whichever title you’re about to play (Fallout4!).

I’ll assume you’re using the Steam version of Fallout4 and that the game runs well without VorpX. Make sure Steam is also running.

We’ve got : (1) Oculus Runtime (Home), (2) VorpX, (3) Steam all running, so click ‘Play’ from the Steam games list entry for Fallout4. Ideally, you should now be running Fallout4 in the Rift.

If you can’t see anything in the Rift then click the middle mouse button to get into edge-peek mode, Alt+Space on the keyboard to recentre the Rift view, the press ‘Delete’ to fine-tune the experience.

Let me know which part of the process didn’t work, and we’ll take it from there.

There is no contest here… Vorpx has a much nicer looking theater, can play 3d movies and any games (some in 3d) and the image quality is great.

With steam virtual cinema the game image is so blurry i find the experience too unpleasant.

Nevertheless people are praising virtual cinema on steam through ignorance. They haven’t tried vorpx…

Which brings me on to the purpose of this post:

Demo! – That word Ralf hates.

When I tell people on forums about vorpx it’s hard to get them to commit to something they’ve never tried.

You need a cut down time limited demo that can’t be hacked to full by pirates.

You could have the virtual theater playing only a demo video showing a game being played in the virtual theater as well as video and desktop. Rather than giving a fully functional time limited demo you’d just be giving a vorpx demo that won’t play anything other than this one demo video.

[Fredthehound]

Hi all, Just an FWIW/IMO…

I’m a huge fan/player of Skyrim/Fallout and built/adapted my rig specifically for them. Been playing video games since the Pong arcade machine so I’m not a newb ;) Personally, I am just fine without roomscale features, though I wouldn’t complain if they ever come into being. As long as I can simply ‘see’ the world in actual VR, look around etc, I’ll haZ the happy of the Cheezbzburger cat at a McDonalds free food day.

Because the Beth games have such a force of talent in the modding community, I have little doubt that once the top names get their hands on Vives and Rifts, we will see as many incredible mods for them as we did in the normal games.

And considering, last I looked, Skyrim was still ridiculously high on Steam’s use list in spite of it’s age…well, I predict a much longer life thanks to VR. With the creation Kit for F4 about to release and the much better engine driving it/DX11 vs DX9, I’d imagine it will be easier to deal with for VR modder-devs.

But my overall point is that there are a L O T of us that want it, will use it and will pay for such functionality as required. It will take time of course. I don’t seriously expect seamless experiences day 1 or even day 100. But the possibility of Sky in VR is what drove my Vive purchase to begin with. I doubt I am alone. And it will only get better as time goes on.

[wm79]

Hi,

Left 4 Dead 2 is on the supported games list, but when I start it, it just runs on the monitor, the rift doesn’t react. Vorpx seems to generally work, no errors, Fallout 4 for example works.

Edit: now it starts, but when I want to start a game, it says “Steam must be running”. It doesn’t say that when I am playing without rift.

[Noble]

Hello, just made an account to ask this question.

Will I still need to purchase Virtual desktop? Will Vorpx be able to play movies, and any game in a theatre mode fashion like VD does?

I also know that SteamVR has a theatre mode where you can play any game, not sure how good it is compared to Virtual Desktop though.

I don’t need the “virtual desktop” feature, just wanting to play non-VR games and watch movies.

[SirChancelotx]

PSA for everyone waiting for Vorpx Vive support:

If you have not tried a FPS in VR before as a seated experience ( Vorpx will not and will never make Skyrim roomscale for those who did not know ), motion sickness is a very real possibility, even if you have an iron stomach. I never used a DK2 or had any other experience before my Vive came and have absolutely no problem with Motion sickness when it comes to native Vive games (no history of any prior motion sickness IRL either). In preparation for Skyrim VR, I tried The vanishing of Ethan Carter VR sold on Steam and from the beginning of the game something just felt “wrong”. I wanted to experience a similar situation that I would find myself in with Fallout and Skyrim. I , more or less, was fine for the first 15 min. I thought I was good to go until I stepped inside a house and then I had to take the HMD off. Everything in my gut, neck and back of my head just felt “sour”.

Long story short if you don’t have any experience with VR motion sickness, read up on it. Buy some ginger Ale and Ginger chews. I bought some Dramamine just in case because I don’t want anything to ruin the fun. Just trying to keep anyone from having a bad first experience if they aren’t prepared. :)

[dellrifter22]

Make sure you have Steam in game overlay disabled, Uplay overlay disabled for Ubisoft games, and close anything like fraps or radeonpro. (to see framerate in vorpx push Alt+f). Also make sure your not using any sweetfx or enb directly.

For me on my DK2, the oculus load screen would tell me “problems loading Skyrim.exe”, but if i waited a few seconds I could hear the game start up in the background. Screen would fade to black, and then if I waited 10 or so seconds the game menu would finally appear. Maybe try just waiting a minute to see if your black screen eventually comes on.
