I bought and downloaded crysis 2 version steam, to play it with vorpx, after seeing that is in the list of supported games, however, the game does not work at all for me.Any help with this?

On the other hand crysis 1 (steam version)has broken my reconstruction 3D geometry in this latest Vorpx version, with important graphical quite a while problems with several games from the list of supported vorpx.
Any idea how to fix this?

Did you check your spam folder? Anyways: please first try to run vorpX as admin. Should be avoided normally, but may help – for example if you are running Steam or your games as admin for some reason. In such a case vorpX would also require admin rights to hook into the games. There is an option to do this in the vorpX config app.

If that does not help and multiple games are not hooking in a similar manner, there indeed probably is a program on your PC that creates a conflict with vorpX by also hooking into games. Quite a few programs do this, not all are obvious. This may be a virus scanner, a graphics driver add-on (e.g. MSI Afterburner), a CPU tweaking utility, a chat program that can display notifications in games, a video streaming/recording program etc.

The trouble shooting guide in the help lists a few things to look out for. To be sure ideally disable/uninstall all background programs that wouldn’t be running on a fresh, unaltered Windows install.

mhm i started to close some software, and now both origin and steam are working! But obviously it doesn’t look good yet since its not optimized.

I am positive that i don’t have any other users on this pc. It would have shown already since whenever i restart, i only see this one account. I still get the error when i try to optimize. The strange thing is that I still don’t see alien isolation in the optimize list anymore.

I have vorpx installed in C folder, while games folder is on another hdd. Not sure thats why?

[beyondthefire]

I only have one user, and i have tried games on steam and origin now, and they all close as soon as i launch them with vorpx running.

EDIT: running without admin for origin steam and vorpx

Vorpx was working fine for me in every game

Skyrim
Zombiu
Dirt 3
Aliens vs predator 3
Penumbra
Amnesia
Bfbc2
Alien isolation
Necrovision
Gtaiv
Gtav
Bf3/4
Payday 2
Far cry 3/4

Then after the 0.9.1 version I got the error “unnable to initiate oculus runtime”, this was because the new driver invalidated every occulus runtime version below version 7.

Now only Skyrim and Zombiu work.

Updating to windows 10 made every game on steam and several others crash instantly upon starting, despite them working perfectly before the update to 0.9.1. and after several days of troubleshooting I am certain the problem is privilege related, to uncontingent framework dependencies, and those are basically just i/o. What really changed was not changed by me.

Im guessing the reason you couldnt use clone screen but used direct to HMD is the same reason i am getting the crashes, because the process that simulates direct to hmd is what is malfunctioning.

So I am instead forced to do a system restore to fix this, but the vorpx autoupdater is a pain, I have to be offline to use it.

If there was an option to not update beyond a certain patch i would be very grateful, at the current time whatever features are added do not matter because i am unnable to run almost any games with them anyway.

In windows 10 there is slight mouseacceleration which makes it unservicable for practising counterstrike unreal tournament or starcraft II at a competitive level, and i am not talking about the improved pointer precision feature.

I would bore you with links and videos of how i can compete at any level with the occulus rift as the FOV inflation makes you extremely accurate (try it for yourself if you dont believe me!) but giving an alternative just for me and a couple of others who struggle with windows 10 is a longshot anyway.

The reason i dont mind using direct to HMD is because i have gotten extremely good at running it, first i turn the HMD on, then i use launchy to start executibles using touch such as Vorpx, i never have to see them even open. For windows i close one eye and have perfect perception, i have to admit it was very difficult in the beginning and i understand the efficiency is much greater with the “Direct HMD access from apps” mode, but the compatability renders this useless for consumers that are not developers.

Are you certain 0.9.1. works with the games i have listed?

Either way vorpx is the best software for vr gaming, the customization perticularly with the real time IPD, 2d FOV and headtracking sensitivity was worth every penny i spent, when fully optimized i can play for days and not get motionsickness, so thank you deerly Ralf and the vorpx team.

Update: All my games on steam crash instantly when vorpx is running, but work fine when it is not, may be related.

[JESUSTAYS]

the reason is because they have a nice refund policy if u have not played a game over two hours they also have huge sales and demos like the walmart of video games cheapest around u will need to return many because u will find out vorpx does not work flawless or at all very well with many the vorpx cinema option is nice better than virtual desktop but in vr many games just look weird and uncomfortable except fallout new vegas that is really not bad but not as good as oculus rift supported either i love people because Jesus loves me

[JESUSTAYS]

i took advantage of the steam sale to tryout games on the vorpx first game fallout new vegas it worked not as good as a oculus rift supported game but many vorpx options to tweak if u want the vorpx presets probably the best but every other game including bioshock infinite all worked the same fine in 2d or the vorpx cinema non vr gaming it was really blown out and magnified in vr like all the other games except fallout new vegas i love people because Jesus loves me

I tried running Life Is Strange and it hooks properly without issue (looks fine in VR Cinema mode). All of my games are purchased and installed through Steam. This is a fresh install of Windows 10 64-bit with all the latest updates including NVidia drivers. I have disabled my antivirus software as well. I tried creating manual shortcuts for them like Gone Home but still my Rift does not come on. I read through the whole troubleshooter and nothing there resolved the issue. Hmm.

[Ralf]

Gone Home: hooks correctly here (Win 10, Steam version), but then freezes when going into the actual game from the main menu. Might be related to Win 10, which seems to require to run the game windowed to work at all here with or without vorpX. Will be looked into.

Metro 2033 Redux: works fine here (also Steam version). May have to be run in safe mode on some machines if I remember earlier reports correctly. If you also have the Non-Redux version of the game, using that is generally perferable BTW as it offers Geometry 3D when run in DX9 mode.

HL2: When support for HL2 was done, there was no VR mode. Besides that it still makes a lot of sense for stand alone mods like Black Mesa. Personally I like the way vorpX does it better BTW, but that’s almost certainly a minority vote.

In general: if you have problems with multiple games not hooking at all, please check the trouble shooting guide in the help. The most likely cause of this is some other program on your machine that creates a conflict with vorpX.

You can also try to create a special vorpX desktop shortcut to a game’s main .exe (right click the tray icon, choose “Create Destop Shortcut”), which sometimes works more reliable than the normal hooking. Doesn’t help with most Steam games unfortunately, but would be an option for the Metro 2033 GOG version for example.

I finally built a powerful computer and am getting back into Rift experimentation. I installed VorpX 0.9.1 in conjunction with Rift SDK 0.8.0.

I then reviewed the official VorpX ‘supported games’ list and tried the first three games in my Steam library that are listed on the VorpX site. The results were disappointing.

– Gone Home: Rift will not come on at all.
– Metro 2033 Redux: Rift will not come on at all.
– HL2: Rift comes on and VorpX is enabled (but presumably worse experience than the native VR now included).

My question is, do the first two games listed above simply not work with VorpX? If not, why are they featured on the Supported Games list?

If 2/3 of the listed games I tried do not work on VorpX, how many others on that list should I avoid?

Otherwise, any suggestions on how to get the first two listed to work with VorpX?

Specs: Windows 10 64-bit, GTX 980 TI, 32GB RAM, Intel 4970k, SSD.

Alright, I got it working and here is how.

I installed the “Virtual Desktop” from the Oculus Share site, https://share.oculus.com/app/virtual-desktop.

If I have “Virtual Desktop” running and launch “Desktop Viewer” for vorpX it works. If I am not running “Virtual Desktop” and launch “Desktop Viewer” I still get the same BSOD. I thought that maybe when I installed Virtual Desktop (VD) something was installed that would have made vorpX work but that was not the case. It is only when VD is running that I can run the Desktop Viewer.

I tried streaming my Xbox One via “Desktop Viewer” and the experience wasnt much different than playing on my monitor.

I am guessing I need to try some games via Steam to see what vorpX is doing differently than VD.

I already did but games doesn’t start due to security on steam
Any suggestion?

Thansk again

I played a bit of the first level of Outlast, messed with the in-game Vorpx settings a bit to get the best possible image, decided for Geometry 3D reconstruction and letterbox 2 fov, exited the game to grab some food and now Outlast freezes after displaying the intro images, just before loading the main menu.

I restored the Vorpx profile to default values from Troubleshooting menu, reinstalled the game, deleted the Outlast profile folder, nothing works, freezes every time. The game works on monitor if I exit Vorpx and other games work just fine in VR using Vorpx. Any ideas on what can be done ?

I’m using Vorpx 0.9.1.0, Oculus runtime 0.8.0.0, Windows 10 64bit, Outlast is launched from Steam.

Space Engineers seems to have some probelems since a patch some time ago. Someone just yesterday reported success with disabling the Steam overlay, so that may be worth a try. Steam itself is not an issue, of course.

Please do not run vorpX as admin unless you also run games as admin. Normally that should not be required and can cause more harm than good.

If more games fail in a similar manner, there almost certainly is something on your machine conflicting with vorpX. Not all such case are obvious. Please double check for any chat/messanger program for example. Many of them hook into games.
