Ok so I do the renaming a lot. Not all but some steam games just wont launch if their executable is renamed even if launched from the exe directly. It is unfortunate. Sometimes a retail box copy of the same game that is not installed through steam will work. For example renaming Singularity’s exe to udk worked for me because I was using an old retail box copy from before I even used steam. Others running the steam version were unsuccessful getting it to work.

If people have found a way around this for the unfortunate games that do not allow renaming like DMC, Killer is Dead, or Street Fighter IV I would love to know myself.

Stereo3d gaming has never been easy. It has it’s own challenges. You should read all the official setup posts. With all games in Vorpx start by setting the FOV to 120 or the highest you can provided it is above 90 at least. Do this by ingame sliders, ini edits, console commands, the built in Vorpx game optimizer, Vorpx menu FOV adjustments, or programs like Flawless Widescreen or Widescreen Fixer. Since you are a developer you should be able to pick this stuff up very quick. In the Vorpx menu ingame try setting it to “Letterbox 2” I find that this combined with an FOV of 120 seems to eliminate any view distortion when looking around.

Next you will need to tweak your mouse sensitivity til it matches your headtracking. There are a number of ways to do this whether through the vorpx menu, the game menu, inis, xpadder mouse emulation, or a combination of all the techniques til it fits.

Then you need to set your graphics so you can maintain 75 fps at all times whether in combat or complex outdoor scenes. Use Z3D if you cannot maintain the framerates at the graphic detail you desire in Geo3d.

If it sounds like a lot of work sometimes it can be, but once you have it all setup correctly games in Vorpx are the best experiances you can have in the Rift. Bioshock Infinite or Borderlands 2 in Vorpx blow any demo out on Oculus Share out of the water.

For Skyrim and a gamepad it is better to just disable the 360 pad in Skyrim game menu and in the Vorpx ingame menu. Then use xpadder to map keyboard and mouse imputs to your 360 pad.

Lots of people charge for beta access. That is Steam greenlight and any other early access game like Elite Dangerous. Id rather get a chance to use Vorpx now with updates here and there rather than wait for CV1 release a year from now.

Hey, the only thing i got working with vorpx so far is ARMA 3 (and the image is too zoomed in for some reason) All the other games i have tried like skyrim, fallout NV, red orchestra 2, dont seem to activate vorpx. When the game starts i cant get the menu to come up by pressing delete. im using the rift DK2 in extended mode and launching them through steam while the DK2 is set to primary display, also the i set up the vorpx config to the same as the Dk2 guide PLEASE HELP Does anyone have these games working on a optimus laptop?

Try:

-open steam but don’t attempt to run the game from steam

-instead, browse to the folder where the game exe file is on your hard disk

-try starting the game from there

-if it fails, try 2 or 3 times

Works for me with arma 2 and 3 (steam games)

Howdy,
Add another one! I got Dying Light to run with geometry 3D by changing the name to DXHRDC. The built in “beta” rift support was cool and all but worked only sort of good. Now you can adjust all the goodies vorpx lets you and now its in READABLE text thanks to vorpx. If you guys haven’t got this program yet and you have and play games on your DK2 this is a must have. WORTH EVERY PENNY. Any way yeah i messed with the vignette scale and image zoom and some other stuff but it works great. Tried UDK and it hooked but no geo and I used arma 2 but no luck. But DXHRDC works great. There mite be another that hooks even better but for now I’m going with DXHRDC. Oh and DO NOT HAVE THE DEFAULT RIFT SUPPORT AND TRY TO RUN WITH VORPX it will give double screen effect. Disable factory rift support if you have added it then hook with vorpx.

teach me exactly how to do this tried renaming it to that and steam wouldnt find the executable.

As title, pressing del key doesn’t show the vorpx config menu in game.

Game is fsx (non-steam), os windows 7 64bit, latest vorpx version.

Other vorpx keys function ok such as middle mouse button for edgepeek.

In other games i.e. arma, delete key shows the vorpx config menu.

The game didn’t appear to be in 3d (judging by the look of the cockpit).

Any ideas?

All my Steam games hook just fine with Vorpx, and I’ve tried a lot. If you right click on the Vorpx icon you can create a shortcut, maybe that would help.

About Origin, maybe you could turn the Origin layour off, that helps sometimes.

For F1 games, (I’ve got 2012 and 2014) you need to have Open track for head tracking and to adjust the FOV I followed this tutorial: http://www.entertherift.fr/article-606-maj-tuto-f1-2012-13-et-dirt.html

As for myself, there are times vorpX doesn’t want to hook and restarting my computer helps. You said you have the Rift set to extended, do you also have it set as your primary monitor? Also, before I get into game, I don’t have the lens cups in. It makes it a lot easier to navigate around the desktop and get into the game. Once I am in game (going into time trial and a track to test head tracking in F1 for example) I’ll put in the lens cups and put on the Rift.

I procedure is to turn on the Rift, wait for my monitors to adjust and then start vorpX and if need be, Open track, then start>steam>game. It loads in the rift and the warning appears (even though I checked it not to) and I wait until I am through all the menus and into the game before putting in the lenses and playing.

I have little trouble with my games, though it is about 70% chance that head tracking will work in F1 without restarting my computer. Most other games work fine, though I did have an issue with Far Cry 4 locking the look stick so I couldn’t use that to help recenter the view. I couldn’t look left and then move the look stick as I straighten my head but still face left… which made me conscious of trying not to get tangled in the cord.

And there were a few times that I was so frustrated, especially at first, that I wanted to throw my computer through a window and rip out my hair. However, one day things just worked and I have no idea what I did… if some drivers updated, or I didn’t do something that I was previously… but all the black screens with audio, laggy jittery input, etc, was gone.

I do hope you get your issue resolved.

I have no troubles working vorpx with Steam:
Borderlands 2
Borderlands Pre-Sequel
Chivalry
DCS World
F1 2012 (needs open track)
F1 2014 (needs open track)
Far Cry 4
GTAIV
Metro 2033
Mirrors Edge
Portal 2
Outlast
Skyrim
Wolfenstein

Alien Isolation (mod game file)
Test Drive Unlimited 2 (have 3D but no head tracking)

I also have the Mass Effect trilogy and Alan Wake but I haven’t tried those games yet. Except for the games marked, all work with vorpx’s head tracking.

I tried mirrors edge and Left 4 dead2 under steam, both are not working at all with vorpx, then shamefully I downloaded a pirate copy of independent version of mirrors edge then vorpx hooks up with the game and works well.

this stops me buying more games at least from steam. please let me know how to or how long is vorpx going to support steam just like Tridef 3d did?

Another similar case is that Battle field 4 under origin (seems the only place I can buy a copy) is not workable with vorpx, every time it bounced back with the error of “directx 11 dll failure”. please help!

thanks and best wishes.

Ok, gradually downloading all my games again for steam…

Found ANOTHER that does not work AT ALL.

Thief 2014 – Run Vorpx assign settings via Vorpx run thief.. Launcher opens, press play. Nothing. Nothing at all.

Do not run Vorpx and them run Theif.. Game works fine!!

I am really not impressed NOTHING works for this software!!

Hi,
I dl’d the game as I already had on steam in anticipation of either native or Vorpx support, however it does not work with 3d?.

When you bring up the Voprx menu in game it is disabled on 3d but you say you have it working on yours?
Other than that yes It works well with head tracking and just have to zoom out a little but still no 3d and as I said I only like to play games in 3d?

Regards

I don’t know why! It worked for me.

I just finished Bioshock Infinite with dk2 and vorpx which was one of the greatest game experiences of my life. This was the steam version, running windows 7 on an evga nvidea 640 with 8 gb ddr2, with graphics set to very high. I used the following setup:
In game settings:
Start Bioshock Infinite without vorpx first.
Go to options, graphics, set field of view to max.
Ensure game is fullscreen, and 1920X1080.
Start New Game, enter the light house, exit game.
(Ensuring ini creation, and a good point to trigger autosave to jump in and out of game while adjusting)
Startup Vorpx.
Right click tray icon, Configure Vorpx, General Settings,
Under Disaply/Monitors set to Show on Rift DK2 and disable Aero on game start.
(I have had alot of luck with this working correctly since the patch)
Apply and close.
Restart Bioshock Infinite with vorpx on.
You should be able to see well enough to continue your game.
(Use middle mouse click edge peak if needed to enter game)
Ingame vorpx settings:
Once ingame push Delete on your keyboard to bring up vorpx menu.
Click Mouse wheel to zoom back in to see menu clearly.
On Main tab:
Set 3d Reconstruction Z Normal
Seperation (3d-strength) 2.00
Depth Weighting (Near-Far) 1.00
(These are the most immersive 3d setting I found, that do not distort quality or cause my stomach to turn)
On Display Tab:
Fix Chromatic Aberration On
Image Zoom 0.67
(This will pull the camera back far enough to capture most of the screen without taking you out of the screen)
On Input Tab:
HT Sensitivity .38
HT Roll On
HT Smoothing Very Low
(This will seem a bit slow, once you reach the target practice area i suggest you practice till perfect learning to aim and shoot using head tracking before you proceed, and tweak these settings to what suits you. Alot of people dislike this method of shooting and want the crosshair disconnected, but having tried steamvr halflife 2 I can tell you hands down, I love aiming with headtracking. You will also want to tweak your right joystick sensitivity ingame control options to your liking, I also found that a lower sensitivity worked for me.)
Handle Gamepads Internally Off
Head Tracking as Gamepad Off
(This will allow you to play with an xbox controller using in game setup, which does not coflict with head tracking for me)
OK&Save (exit vorpx panel)
Exit Game one more time.
INI Settings:
Open the following folder:
C:\Users\(your username)\Documents\My Games\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config
Open XUserOptions.ini with notepad.
Change:
MaxUserFOVOffsetPercent=00.000000
To:
MaxUserFOVOffsetPercent=28.570000
(This will boost your fov back far enough to make the depth feel correct)
Save and Close
Open XGame.ini with notepad.
Change:
[XCore.XScreenManager]
bUseDefaultSafeRect=true
SafeRectX0=0
SafeRectY0=0
SafeRectX1=1920
SafeRectY1=1080
MaxDefaultSafeRectAspectRatio=1
To:
[XCore.XScreenManager]
bUseDefaultSafeRect=false
SafeRectX0=0
SafeRectY0=0
SafeRectX1=900
SafeRectY1=700
MaxDefaultSafeRectAspectRatio=0
Save and Close
(This last edit alters the positioning of your hud elements. These settings will pull your healthbar, vigorbar etc inside your field of view. This will allow you to enjoy the game without ever having to use edge peak)
Restart Bishock infinite and enjoy.

Btw if u still can get anywhere. I would suggest using a non steam copy of the game(buy a Disc or pirate it) it seems to make everything less glitchy. I can use my steam mirrors edge but it crashes randomly sometimes. So I just use a non steam copy now. Im no longer going to buy steam games to use with the oculus dk2.
