It’s really best to have an Antivirus you have some control over. Some AV by default make all of the decisions without asking you and the result is the problem you’re having.

I use Comodo internet security and have it ask me before taking actions but even then it still makes bad choices and deletes a program that’s perfectly safe once in a while. Most AV software have a feature where you can add a particular program to safe list. There have been times when the only way I could install a certain program was to close comodo down completely, then install the program, then start comodo again. Some AV have a much higher rate of false positives: Norton for example. I also had severe problems with Bitdefender about 4 years ago. It was stopping some Steam games running even when they were added to its safe list!

Could you add an “inclusion” part to the vorpX configuration so we could manually add .exe’s that aren’t officially supported. Or is there another way in windows to make link’s or shortcuts to fool vorpx?

For example I tried running the talos principle demo with vorpX but it didn’t work because the .exe is named differently and most steam games won’t run if you try to change them.

You wont be required to sell your games and software through the Oculus Store for the PC. They have have already publicly stated so. It smart to sell games through distribution platforms like the Oculus Store and Steam because they function as advertising, hosting and DRM for your your game but you can sell as many places as you want. Also side-loading on the Gear VR isn’t impossible. Its already been done with SideloadVR.

If vorpX doesn’t hook into any game, there almost certainly is something on your PC that interferes with vorpX.

Just in case you didn’t try that already, please try running vorpX as administrator, in some cases that may be needed. For example if you also run games with admin rights for some reason. Also try do create vorpX desktop shortcuts to your games (right click the tray icon, choose “Create desktop shortcut”. Doesn’t work with Steam games, but hooks more reliable than the auto detection in some cases.

If nothing helps, please send a mail to support |at| vorpx com for some individual trouble shooting. Please include the below things so we can check whether maybe you overlooked something.

1. System specs (CPU, RAM, graphics card etc.)
2. A dxdiag.txt (run dxdiag.exe to create it)
3. A screenshot of your task manager showing all running processes

If that is an option for you, a fresh Windows install may also be worth a try.

BTW: Please do not spam the forum, everything is read. I merged your two latest threads into this one.

Thanks for such a fast response – that was it!

I’d say that’d be good to have in the troubleshooting – I’d checked VorpX and the games I was running, but I would have never have thought to check Steam’s priviledge level!!

I’ve got a DK2, and everything that supports it natively outside of VorpX is working fine.

I’ve bought and installed the latest version of VorpX, and… it does nothing. I’ve followed all the setup guides, confirmed VorpX is actually running, disabled and unplugged everything I’m not using, quit all programs, disabled AV, turned off steam overlay, made links, tried primary and non-primary, and any number of other things I’ve found posted about.

I’ve tried it in a dozen odd games – they all just render as normal in 1080p and pressing del does absolutely nothing. Nothing is logged by the service into the event logs.

I’m using Windows 8.1 Pro (x64). I do have 2 x GTX 780 Ti in SLI, but have currently unplugged all of the extra monitors except for my main, and disabled SLI in the GeForce control panel. I haven’t gone as far as to physically remove the extra graphics card from the PC.

(As an aside, if I set VorpX to run as an administrator in the options, it crashes immediately with a 0xc0000005 exception code.)

It picks up the DK2 correctly as it alerts if you’re in direct mode etc, and it’s definitely attempting to hook into the dlls, because when I have it running, Outlook 2013 (which uses DirectX) crashes immediately on launch..

Please, any ideas?

Normally the game should hook just like others. If it doesn’t in your case, please try/check the things below.

1. Try to disable your virus scanner to make sure it does not interfere
2. Check for other possibly interfering programs. The trouble shooting guide in the vorpX help has a few hints in this regard.
3. Try to create a vorpX desktop shortcut to the Arma3 main .exe (right click the vorpX tray icon, choose “Create Desktop Shortcut”). This does not work with all games (especially Steam/Origin/Uplay games), but if it does, it hooks more reliable than the auto detection.
4. Try running vorpX as administrator. Generally this is not recommended, but may help in some cases (for example it’s necessary if the game also is started with admin rights).

BTW: For serious Arma 3 playing, I can highly recommend the below in depth setup tutorial. Doesn’t solve your issue, but helps to create the best possible experience once you got it basically running. Quite a bit of work, but pays off.

Since the Steam summer sale is going on right now, it would be cool to see what games are currently being worked with for VR implementation so you could potentially buy them while they’re on sale. It’d also just be a nice thing to keep people’s interest and let them know that VorpX is being actively maintained, as well as keep the people in the wish list thread hyped up. I think everyone is curious about the way VorpX is progressing.

Just a thought.

Thanks grumdark for the suggestion on MSAA however it still wont kick in to stereo 3d. I am not sure the 3d-z is working in other games either for me. Is farCry 4 a zbuffer game? If it is I also get no 3d. Also no luck with Metro 2033 redux. Geometry works fine where that is applicable. As you can see, I bought a lot of games on Steam’s summer sale to try with Vorpx :). So far Mirrors edge works well in geometry as well as Borderlands. I guess I could switch those to z-3d and see what happens. ill report back once I try them.

Ok… I am starting this project because I am so annyed those games in Steam that informs that it have VR support and after buying the game and few hours of hassle ending up to find from forums that VR support is dropped because it is not possible to run with DK2 motion tracking :/ or some other problems that cannot be solved…

So I have wondered that I have got many games still Run on 1980×1080 in DK2 but there is no head tracking at all… :/ also looking up or down is unpossible even with controller because up and down is locked to avoid nausea in DK1..

So my question is that has WorpX team ever got this in their minds? or am I the only person in the world that thinks there is a way to make DK2 emulated to DK1 and all old demos and full games like Kairo, Dream and many other would be playable with native support again! :) (with little bit of nausea without motion tracking of cource) but that would still be worth it!

If VorpX team got something similar on their sleaves I will wait… if not, that is going to be loooong week with lots of red bull :D

Hello! I downloaded and re-installed vorpx today. And Nothing happened. I got the extended display stuff done, Rift is running, and everything ready. Rift works too, as i have tested some Rift native games. NO problem. But then i install vorpx and then nothing.

I was expecting the licenses thing to pop up since i may need to verify things and such but still nothing. I click on vorpConfig and still nothing. I just see a the loading ring near my icon and then nothing. Am i doing something wrong?

I excluded the vorpx folder from my anti virus too. I ran compatibility test and things. and still nothing! I thought it was the licenses thing blocking the program but cant even find a way to activate it! HELP!

Maybe its my visual c++ ? I have the 2013 version installed? maybe? what could it be? Steam? my window 7 being x64 ? is it my 32gb of ram? AMD’s control center app? halp!

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHZ 3.60GHz

Thanks for reading!

Yes my games are in proper default locations within steam.

The only game on the list that I can get to optimise is Bioshock infinite.

This works really well, but others that I have have path errors, all are legit steam games in proper default locations.

Is there any plas to address this in future releases?

[Ralf]

Portal 2: Do you use a non-default Steam setup (for example Portal 2 not installed in the Steam directory)? For Portal 2 the optimizer may rely on the game being in the default location (not 100% sure currently). So it may fail when you use a custom directory.

If applying the optimizer settings fails for a game, you can usually apply the most important setting (FOV) manually. Googling FOV + game name in many cases brings up easy to follow tutorials.

Just in case: Steam or not, for many games the optimizer can only work correctly for legit game versions.

Hi, I think vorpx, is a 3d fantastic tool.
however, much like I see some of these improvements or ideas.
Is there any possibility to include?
In this far these are for me the most important.
(sorry english it’s not my native language ;)

1:I would like to vorpx,option to enable/disable extra croshair from the menu ingame vorpx.One optional crosshair,or laser point to solve some problems in stereoscopic cases.(You could even customize form and color …)
This may require disable/ignore the current crosshair or laser point,depending on the game,but I think it would be a fantastic choice,to help in different cases.

2:Another idea that I would love, is the inclusion of an extra option in the menu ingame vorpx:
Player/weapon fov-adjustable,that could work very well as a route for some games. In some cases, this can also act as it currently does in flawless widescreen.
And let after adjusting the size of weapons is significantly modified with separation 3d in some games,besides the distance between the camera and “weapon”.

3:Possibility of including a small tool, for users trying to support some 3D titles not currently supported.
Thus, some users are more involved helping to improve and expand the list of vorpx compatibility.

4:added main tab,in the current interface vorpx(external),offering the ability to add shorcuts,to launch games from here optionally.
(for example,steam shorcuts or .exe in directories,added and launch from this panel)

5:Include more options in the current optimizer game setting.
Example:More options for scaling UI/GUI in 3d z-modes,and subtitles above,(for other languages without translation of voices) where possible from the files in several cases.
Example (outlast, oblivion, vanishing ethan carter) are perfectly playable, except subtitulos.No have voices for all languages.

More types of fov, sometimes present (camerafov outlast example) etc.

6:offer possibility 3d sbs mode(monitors,projectors and 3D TV)

Sorry my english.
Regards!

Hello,

I searched around in the forum but can’t find anything about my problem. I’ve tried Elder Scrolls Online with vorpx and it works very well.

Then i want to try Dirt 2, but it doesn’t work. Have tried to force dx9 by editing the hardware_settings_config.xml in the gamedir/system/ folder and in documents/My Games/Dirt2/hardwaresettings/ folder, but it doesn’t work.

So i tried Dirt3 but it also don’t work. But I think this is because I Dirt3 Complete Edition over Steam.

But i can’t figure out, why I can’t get Dirt2 working.

Has anybody an idea?
