Hi,

Trying Metro 2033 on my DK2, this loads fine and the head tracking seems spot on through Vorpx but the FOV is way to close in, I have looked up about changing the FOV in the Config file which I have done in appdata/local/4AGames and also under the steam/userdata location but neither change the FOV in game.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ian.

I have own all mentioned games in Steam. So there is no problem with that. Also I used F keys only in games which VorpX configuration said they are supported. So I made a test. I tried to bind keys for Mirrors Edge according to this proceed: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=138177233. But my num case doesn’t change the FOV. Minimal I wasn’t see the difference in in-game menu. So maybe I have a problem which is not connected with VorpX.

Hello, I thought to start a seperate thread as other might have similar issues.

I am really curious to get these titles to work, hence I explain my Problems in Details and hope we can get them to work with the great Support from Ralph.

Unfortunately I am still not able to run the Vorpx config as I only see a transparent window Frame but cant see any Option to choose.
I am running Win 7 with the latest .Net 4.5.2 which was fresh reinstalled.

All other DK2 Demos and games like LFS, ETS2 are working fine.
SDK 0.4.1 installed and Rift has latest 2.11 Firmware.

Just to be in synch on terminology:
1. Headtracking = looking left, right, up and down in car
2. Positional tracking = leaning backwards and Forward in car

I can open the Vorpx help file and here is my current work flow to get the F1 games to work. Perhaps I am making something wrong and you can advise.

1. Starting VorpX. I can see it running as in the right bottom Corner , I can see the VorpX Icon. I can open the help and can stop and Launch the Service. No error Messages as well.
2. Due to my “transparent” config window issue, I assume Vorpx running in defaul config
3. I set my DK2 Monitor to Portrait mode in the Win Settings
4. I set my DK2 Monitor to Primary, with the effect that I can see the main win Screen on my DK2. But Screen is disjointed. I assume that is normal.
5. by closing on eye I can see a part of the Screen and the Icons to choose the F1 games. Both games running from Steam
6. Launching the game works, but again very disjointed. By closing one eye and knowing which Option to choose ;-) I start a race
7. I sit in the car and Looks like correct FOV as I am in the car BUT disjointed. Closing one eye gives me a part of the Screen, but opening both eyes, no Chance to see anything to work with
8. Headtracking not working
Positional tracking not working

Hope this explains the “starting” Position to get the programs to work and help others to get them working.

Thanks for your help already and looking Forward to get it to work
Regards
Sven

Updates are installed automatically, similar to Steam updates. When you start vorpX Control, vorpX checks for available updates.

The first DK2 ready version of vorpX will probably require Extended Mode. Direct to Rift works for a few games already, but in general it’s a lot more difficult to implement in a driver like vorpX compared to native apps since the Oculus driver hooks games similar to vorpX, which creates a conflict between both programs.

You can force many games to the Rift through the vorpX config app though, which makes working in Extended Mode a lot easier.

Hi,
i´ve have some nasty Problems after my Os Reinstall with Vorp-X.

First of all, i didn´t have any of these Problems bevore i had to reinstall my OS. I´m using Win8.1 64bit which is full updated to the latest Date. Graphic and Hardware Drivers are also on the newest Version.

I´m having 2 Users on my System, one as a Admin and my Gaming Persona ;)
My Admin is Password protected , my Gaming-self not.

I installed Vorp-x with my Admin, which worked with no Problems, Vorp-x Started and play all Steam/Origin Games. So fine so good.

When i switch to my Gaming-self, or reboot to my Gaming-self which is my Standard ID, Vorp-x doesn´t show up. Ok,so i get the Programm from my installed Dir, make a Link and try to start it from Desktop. This makes a error (critical error…bla,bla cannot do its magic). When i start now my link with Admin Rights. Vorp-x starts….buuuuuuut doesn´t work with any Game. Hmm, so i quit Steam, started it with Admin Rights and… it worked.

so i guess, that a lot of the cannot-start-Game-X-with-Vorp-x encountered the Same Problem as me now. Vorp-x doesn´t work with multiple Accounts on one PC. Because when i install a Programm on a fresh PC, the System asks me for the Admin password, and after the install Vorp-x is unusable. Maybe there are some Registry settings missing or the installer only install for Admins only.

This is something that should really fixed, i installed my Gamer User because my Adminuser on my last System got corrupted and make my system unuseable.

Hello,

Having a problem with Skyrim.

Every other game I’ve tried works fine, including other Steam games. I’ve made a vorpX desktop shortcut for TESV. The game launches, but in regular mode.

Resolution for both the monitor and the game is set to 1280×800, and it’s a new game install. I’ve tried having both the OR and monitor as the clone source.

The only thing I can think of that’s strange is that clicking both TESV and SkyrimLauncher bring up the launcher display… in other words, clicking TESV doesn’t immediately launch the game, like I thought it should. I’m stumped.

?

Forcing DX9 is exactly what you have to do, G3D should work that way.

Just to be sure, please check first whether there is a d3d9.dll present in your Dirt 3 directory. Remove it if you find one.

If you checked that, and it still doesn’t work, try to create a vorpX shortcut for Dirt 3 (see the trouble shooting sticky for details). Despite not working correctly with some Steam/Uplay/Origin games these shortcuts hook more reliable than the auto detection.

Hope that helps.

@all: It’s all but quiet here. The next update with support for ~20 more games will be out shortly.

Updates are issued automatically when they become available, similar to the Steam update process.

[Ralf]

Yes, non-Steam games do also work. vorpX tries to hook into every DX9-DX11 game that you start, regardless how it is started.

Hi,

I’m after some much needed help. Before I start I feel I should warn you..

I’ve only used macs for the past few years, so I’ve turned into a PC n00b.

I’m sure I’m doing something wrong but really need some help. One of the big draws of the rift and VorpX was playing racing games and Grid is high on my list of must plays however, despite it being listed as supported it just crashes out every time.

The video and sound stutter then the .exe stops responding.

I’ve put -dx9 in the launch option for Steam and disabled SLI but yeah.. I’m lost now!

PC spec is intel i5 4670k, 8gb ram and gtx 760 sli.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Can you use non-steam games?

Hi Ralf/everyone.

I recently got left 4 dead 2 on the steam sale, but Vorpx does not seem to work with it. When I start Left 4 dead 2, it starts normally without vorpx turning the screen stereo. When I exit the game I then notice vorpx is no longer running. I’ve double and tripple checked this. Turn on Vorpx via Vorpx Control shortcut, verify its running in task manager and in the side tray, run left 4 dead 2, exit left 4 dead 2, and vorpx is no longer running.

The other two games I have recently ran with Vorpx is BF4 and Dirt 3, no isses with either of them. Vorpx is still running when I exit either of them.

Any ideas? My setup is:

– Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit).
– 16 Gig Ram
– intel i7-4770 3.40GHz
– Asus GTX 770 Nvidia GeForce DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

I got Vorpx about a month ago and I’m having serious concerns about the progress of this application. I haven’t seen ANY news on an upcoming update and I can only play half of my Steam games! I only have like 8 games too, and I can’t even play Portal 2, which is advertised to work! I even created a Vorpx shortcut for Portal 2 to get it working, yet it will only crash after 2 minutes of gameplay. Is this program going to be coming out of beta, or am I going to have to fight for a refund? I feel robbed.

I purchased VorpX earlier today, and I cannot get it to work with any games. None. No matter what troubleshooting I attempt, nothing works. The tray icon is visible, and I appear to be able to configure settings within it, but it doesn’t hook into ANY game I try. When I start Skyrim, for instance, whether through Steam or a VorpX shortcut, it just displays regularly. I’m not sure what else I am supposed to do. The Oculus works fine, as I can play any natively supported games without any issue.

[Ralf]

Hi ocus,

Please make sure that you use the latest vorpX version (should show 0.64 in the bottom left corner with working games), versions prior to 0.64 do not work with COD:Ghosts.

If the auto update didn’t work for you, you can simply use your original installer to update. It will always fetch the latest version.

Other than that there is nothing special to consider normally, you should be able to run the game from Steam like always.

Hope that helps.
