Thanks Ralf. Couple of things:

1) I switched to Gamepad input mode and things ran pretty well (outside of Fallout 3’s occasional confusion in not recognizing there is a gamepad attached). In that mode I noticed that the scanner always fails rotation unless I set Override XBox controller to Full or Partial, which is no big deal (but see item 3). However, when running outside of VorpX Fallout 3 adds options to the Pipboy when a gamepad is in use. The most important, to me, is (X) to drop an item. When gamepad input is disabled, those options are not displayed and an item is dropped using RMB. With VorpX I never see these options whether I am using Gamepad or Keyboard/Mouse input. As a result, I recently switched back to Keyboard/Mouse input and mapped (Shft-Rclick) to RMB so that I could drop items.

2) The downside in keyboard mode is navigating the pipboy screen and dialogs with NPCs. I’d rather not use head tracking and right joystick to navigate those, although it is tolerable if I turn the right joystick sensitivity way down. This is why I wanted to map something to up, down, left, right. Shft-Rstick was logical, but didn’t work (Rstick would be even more logical for me if we were allowed to map that). I thought maybe this was the not-allowed mapping of Rstick extending to broken mapping of Shft-Rstick, so I tried mapping Shft-A and Shft-B to up/down and that didn’t work either. So I’m unable to map anything to those keys. When running outside of VorpX I have to make sure the cursor is pointed away from anything for those to work, so when I’m in VorpX I make sure to gaze away or use RStick to get the pointer out of the way. Meta Link does not filter any controller functions. It’s hard to see how it could be a Fallout problem because it doesn’t know where key codes come from. My best guess would be that Vorpx is generating keycodes that are different than what the keyboard generates for those. Can you verify that you are able to map something to the cursor keys?

3) This is not particularly relevant, but I think I’m confused about the difference between setting gamepad override to full and setting input mode to keyboard/mouse. I thought the former would only apply to using an actual gamepad, which I’m not using. But then why does my scanner always fail unless turn that on, or set input mode to keyboard/mouse? Does it also apply when controllers are set to gamepad mode?

Different list. When geometry gets drawn both a vertex and pixel shader are active (actually to be precise often more than that, but those are the only ones we care about here), so both can be utilized do define special stuff.

Usually it’s best to start with vertex shaders, especially for HUD or shadow. Try pixel shaders if that doesn’t work, e.g. because it catches too much. Effects like unwanted DOF, motion blur etc. on the other hand are often better manageable via pixel shaders. Very different from game to game though. The only useful universal rule is: try vertex first.

In case of Fallout 76: if nothing has changed in a recent update, all HUD elements – at least those I am aware of – should be definable via vertex shaders.

Fallout 76 has the same issue. Yes a profile update was downloaded by VorpX yesterday and used the “import” function in VorpX to revert to default but the problem persists in Fallout 76.

I had used the shader editor before due to some issues with shadows and water (hid what wasn’t showing correctly) and tried to delete all my settings but is there a way to get those to revert to default as well?

Falls Du eine halbwegs sinvolle Antwort haben möchtest, müsstest Du ein klein wenig mehr Information liefern:

1. Um was für ein Headset handelt es sich?
2. Grobe System-Specs: CPU/GPU, Windows-Version, Laptop ja/nein etc.
3. Was genau heißt ‘alles ausprobiert’?

[pschimpf]

I’m trying to program the shift functions of either joystick to be the up, down, left, right keyboard keys. The in-game menu accepts them, but they do not work on either joystick. I’ve tested in places where the keyboard keys work, such as looting a body and talking to an NPC. I’m playing Fallout 3, where you can’t exit an NPC conversation without scrolling down and selecting a particular response. This is very tedious because the down arrow on the dialog selections is tiny, and difficult to land on with a joystick-controlled cursor. It’s bad enough that I have to revert to an XBox controller to play effectively. I am a newbie here, so apologies if this has been answered. I searched the forums but did not find anything. Headset and controllers are quest 2.

Hello fellow VR users!

Has anyone been able to launch ds9 the fallen successfully?
Wish you a great day!

[onetoo]

The one caveat is that headtracking never works at all for me when using DirectVR with DirectX 11, but mouse tracking is a good fallback, though now I don’t need it. DirectVR headtracking worked for me with every successful scan when Dying Light 2 uses DirectX 12 . So maybe you want to look into the issue with DirectX 11, but DirectX 12 solves the problem and it’s stable (used to crash in the past), so yeah, the issue is pretty much settled.

The working G3D profile has been uploaded to the cloud.

With the Quakespasm-Spiked 24-03-01 port, you will be able to play and complete Arcane Dimensions, Brutalist Jam I–III, Dwell, Alkaline, Limnal Places, Spiritworld, Xmas Jams, Func Map Jam X, Mjölnir, Immortal Lock (an add-on made by a very clever lady from Canada), Malice Refined, and many other great add-ons that transform good old Quake into the king of the VR realm.

Arcane Dimensions, Alkaline, and Brutalist Jam III are probably three of the best ultra–high-quality add-ons that the gaming community has given us for free.

With Arcane Dimensions, Alkaline, and Brutalist Jam III, the creators transformed the base game into an almost metaphysical, gargantuan-in-scope, often surreal experience (particularly in VR). They were also probably among the first to use infinite loops in some maps, similar to those previously seen in sci-fi movies.

Steps for everything to work:

Main problem: After launching the game, there is no image in one eye.

Workaround: After launching the game in VorpX Virtual Desktop, go to Options → Video Options, change Vertical Sync (on or off—it doesn’t matter), and click “Apply Changes.” After applying the changes, everything should work correctly again, and you are ready to play. I tried to fix this via CFG files (e.g., V-Sync), but without success.

Download Quakespasm-Spiked 24-03-01 and extract it into the Quake folder. Overwrite files if needed.

Set the resolution to 3840×2880. For this resolution to appear in-game, you must first select it in your display settings after launching VorpX Virtual Desktop. To enable it, create a custom resolution in VorpX Virtual Monitor. Then launch VorpX Virtual Desktop, right-click your desktop, open Display Settings, and select the resolution. After that, launch the game and choose 3840×2880.

After launching the game in VorpX Virtual Desktop, go to Options → Video Options, change Vertical Sync (on or off), and apply the changes.

Running the add-ons:

Always run the add-on using the shortcut you created.

Create a shortcut for quakespasm-spiked-win64.exe and rename it to match the add-on, e.g., BRUTALIST JAM III.

Right-click the shortcut and open Properties. If you extracted the add-on to a folder named “qbj” (for example), add the following after \quakespasm-spiked-win64.exe: -heapsize 1597152 -game qbj

The full target line should look like:
“\quakespasm-spiked-win64.exe” -heapsize 1597152 -game qbj

If the add-on contains larger maps, consider using a larger heapsize. This helps prevent crashes caused by memory limitations.

Before launching the game or add-on, you may need to set the display scaling to 100% and the resolution to 3840×2880 in VorpX Virtual Desktop. Sometimes the game may start at a lower resolution even if it incorrectly displays 3840×2880 in the video options.

Rule of thumb: Always set scaling to 100% and the desired resolution in desktop settings after launching VorpX Virtual Desktop and before starting the game or add-on.

The in-game resolution should be judged visually—everything should look very sharp. At lower resolutions, the image will appear slightly pixelated or blurry.

Making your own soundtrack:

To create a custom soundtrack for Quake fan maps, install Foobar and Foobar Portable. In one instance of Foobar, you can play the Herbstwind (Patrick Lynen | Meditation & Relaxation) track (for example), while in the other you play your preferred music with Playback → Order set to “Repeat Playlist.”

After setting up your soundtrack, launch the game/add-on/map and enjoy the best possible version of the experience.

The Dungeon Synth Archives channel on YouTube offers a lot of music that fits Arcane Dimensions. You can record music for specific maps using Windows Recorder, play the map with your custom soundtrack, and then delete the recording afterward.

Optional I:

You should consider playing Brutalist Jam III in G3D—it feels like entering the worlds of Zdzislaw Beksinski (a famous Polish surrealist/grotesque painter) in VR.

Over time, some players may consider it one of the best FPS add-ons ever created. Brutalist Jam II also features a remarkable hub that is truly outstanding and unforgettable in VR. Some maps in Brutalist Jam III offer a one-of-a-kind experience, with vast vertical spaces that feel both suffocating and breathtaking at the same time.

It could be said that VR was waiting for Brutalist Jam III—as it is so magnificent, raw, and elegant.

Optional II:

For the best immersion, consider using 3M Peltor (or similar) noise-canceling headphones together with Panasonic in-ear buds, and a backlit keyboard for night play.

Consider using a Samsung HMD Odyssey Plus headset for excellent colors and contrast in Quake. Darkness is often a crucial part of the experience, so deep blacks matter greatly.

The Samsung HMD Odyssey Plus still offers outstanding color and contrast thanks to its AMOLED display.

When buying one, ask the seller whether the USB cable works properly. Signal interruptions can crash AMD drivers. If signal loss is detected (VorpX acts as a virtual monitor), the system may switch to standard graphics drivers, resulting in a black screen.

AMD Adrenalin driver crashes may still occur even with a fully functional cable. In such cases, both the monitor and headset may go black. You may need to restart your computer and reinstall the drivers via Windows Device Manager—sometimes twice, as the first attempt may fail.

Minor scratches or lens blur can be removed using PolyWatch Plastic Polish, though it may damage certain lenses. Use PolyWatch only if you are sure it is safe for your device.

Removing scratches requires applying firm pressure—be careful, but don’t be overly hesitant.

If it’s your first time, watch several YouTube tutorials. PolyWatch works by dissolving and polishing plastic, so avoid overuse as it can deform or reshape lenses.

Some interesting ideas to try:

Entering the City of Pale

Entering the City of Pale is a Quake fan map by Benoit “Bal” Stordeur.

Once a year, there is a truly magical time called Christmas. It is the only time when you can enter the City of Pale—the city gate opens only once a year during Christmas.

Set the Sorcerer’s Dream track by Old Sorcery in Foobar, and launch the game in VorpX Virtual Desktop after midnight during Christmas, when everyone is asleep.

After opening the city gate in VR, you won’t be able to go further. At that point, you should go to bed and fall asleep, reflecting on what you saw and, most importantly, the feeling of the solemn Christmas atmosphere and the place you visited.

In this way, you may pass through the gate and enter the City of Pale in your dreams. During Christmas, once a year, the gate opens in the dream world as well. The younger you are, the higher your chances—entering such places in dreams becomes harder with age, as people begin to question the possibility and they erase such experiences from memory.

To fully understand this idea and appreciate the brilliance of Entering the City of Pale, you must experience it in VR (G3D).

Entering Dante’s Hell

If any vision of hell exists, it is perfectly captured in the Sheer Hellish Miasma Quake map by CZG.

Set tracks 3 and 4 from the Mohnomishe album by Zoviet France in Foobar, enable “Repeat Playlist,” launch the Honey add-on in VorpX Virtual Desktop, and play until you reach the first map.

Experience Dante’s Hell if you are searching for deeper meaning or a change in your life.

Titanfall 2 is also now crashing immediately for me too when trying to run it with vorpx. Runs fine without vorpx. Something changed.

Hi, I would really like to play **Metro Exodus** using the G3D DX11 profile, but it’s not working. I’ve tried reinstalling it, but that didn’t help. Can someone please assist?

This is a great title, and since it’s listed as working with the default G3D profile, it would be nice to get it running properly.

I am using a generic 3D display config, and I tested it with another game, Fallout: New Vegas, which worked fine. BTW Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition has the same problem.

Hi,

Using PC with Valve Index, no VR controllers or Xbox type controller. So trying to use keyboard and mouse.
On starting Fallout NV, things seem to start and hook in. Steam VR starts and the game boots to the start menu but is displayed in a window to the left. In the centre is a panel with a couple of hints and to the right is some more help in another panel.
Only Vorpx functions appear to respond to any keystrokes or mouse in the headset.
Mouse disappears outside of any Vorpex function or panel.
There is no way to do anything outside of Vorpx fuctions at this point. Game is displayed on my regular monitors, partially across two monitors. Alt-Tab works, sort of, to get out of VR, but mouse is gone, keyboard sort of works outside of VR. I have to log out or reboot to get mouse functionality back.

Plugged in an Xbox controller to see if that would make a difference, but no luck.

Note, I do not know if this is specific to the game, as this is the only game I’m using it for. It used to work years ago and I’m only just revistiing this game after quite some time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Just a heads-up that i went the extra mile and spent two full days to come up with an auto SBS detection that continuously analyses the image content and decides whether it’s SBS 3D or not.

After quite a bit of fiddling around it’s now super reliable even in difficult edge cases with all 3D movies I checked. Should also work fine with S3D games usually. The only situation where I could potentially imagine it to fall apart is when cranking up 3D too much in a S3D game.

Not quite sure yet whether I’ll turn that on per default in desktop viewer since there is a small remaining risk of false positives. So more testing is required before deciding that. If not, you’ll be able to switch it on in the vorpX menu.

There is already a topic with a lot of them :

Geometry VR Game List.

You can check engines&games here :
https://rjkole.com/gamestuff/engines/index.php

Or looking for the game on the forum.

Or just trying it (the only way to be sure).

From my personnal experience, best profiles are :
Originals Bioshock 1&2&Infinite
Originals Metro (I tried 2033 it has perfect G3D and 6dof) and Redux versions (I tried Last Light Redux and it was perfect but I recommand a top end graphic card with this Redux version, without even knowing if it’s better than standard)
The ascent (and some others Unreal Engine 4 games) works well.
Black Mesa (&Xen), probably Portal and Dark Messiah.
People say Dishonored, Titanfall 2, F.E.A.R, Mirror’s Edge, Fallout 3, etc. works well.
Probably Clive Barker’s Jericho & Undying too.
Originals Stalker works with good G3D but without adavanced lighting (DX9 only).

Kingdom Come Deliverance, Metro Exodus and Farcry Primal works well enough (and so probably Cry Engine games like Prey 2017 / Crysis 1-3, and Snowdrop Engine games like Facry 2-5)

Even if concerning Metro Exodus, I prefer Z3D during most of the game (except bunkers&spiders which are great in G3D) in order to have raytracing, at least on Reverb G2 (no compression, so it’s stunning).

Some Z3D profiles are very close to G3D (Atomic Heart, Frontier Of Pandora, Unreal Engine 5 games seems to work great from my experience).

I may be wrong, but I think most DX9 games probably have perfect G3D, and some DX11 games too.
