That’s not quite as important anymore for modern games as it used to be. Most games these days use low latency mouse input with almost as little latency as memory scanner head tracking. The memory scanner is still quite a bit better for other reasons, but the advantage isn’t as huge with most newer games.

Are you only interested in isometric RPGs, or do you enjoy other RPGs?

I enjoy many of the classic-style isometric RPGs, but also enjoy many of the newer ones. Probably the best “blend” of traditional and new was Dragon Age Origins, which I would whole-heartedly recommend even to people who “only like real isometric-style RPGs. Other than that one things go non-traditional pretty quickly, but if you can adjust don’t hesitate to try the rest of the Dragon Age series, the Mass Effect series, Fallout 3, NV, and 4, or even Skyrim (not a very good RPG, but a nice open world wandering-around kind of thing), and don’t forget Witcher 2 and 3. All good, or even great, RPGs that you might enjoy.

Oh, and I don’t know if it will work with VorpX, I’m not quite there yet, but NWN2 is still a fairly good RPG even by today’s standards, and it did work with TriDef so there is at least some chance you can get it to work with VorpX.

I’m curious if there are more isometric games besides Divinity: OS2 that run in 3D in vorpX. What about Pillars Of Eternity? Or Shadowrun: Dragonfall or Shadowrun: Hongkong? I’m interested in RPGs, so if anyone knows of compatible titles, please tell. :)

I’m unable to hook to DAI by any means,
When I try to launch the game, it opens small black window and after short while expands it, with black in top left and white everywhere else, at this point it’s already not responding. With watcher paused, game runs fine.
My setup:
Windows 10 64bit
RTX 2080ti
Ryzen 7 2700x
Steam VR headset

What I tried/checked so far:
-Game runs in DX11 mode.
-I tried disabling every single one overlay that could interfere (Discord, Nvidia, Xbox game bar, origin, MSI Afterburner, Riva tuner)
-I tried both hooking modes, same thing happens with normal and alternative one
-I tried switching between fullscreen and windowed, didnt help
-I tried “delaying” attaching by pausing watcher and resuming it after starting game. Now this helped a bit, first of all if I waited too long, it wouldnt attach at all, but game runs fine. If I resume watcher right after starting it, before window appears, It attaches and even shows image in my headset, but window has no focus and won’t receive any input that way, and as soon as I click on it, it becomes unresponsive.

So, what should I do next?

[rtoast]

Thanks for resolving the blood dragon issues been waiti g for that one! (Though it was working mostly already)

Any hope for that last homefront game? Its also cryengine, the open world one… fingers crossed

[Grumdark]

Could check Dragon Age Inquisition (Origin Version) to get the 3D geometry and Normal Z as one of the profiles of the new update?
It is one of the few games in my medieval fantasy collection to secure 3D with Vorpx.

PD: Thanks for the notice official profile for Metro Exodus.

[slydk1982]

Thanks Ralf :) You are awesome :) I will try the new profile later, I still fight Borderlands 2 ;)

Im not very far into the game.. I just learned how to throw those hearts at the dragons.. You still want a savegame file?? And where should I send it to?

[Ralf]

Looked into this today. You can download an updated profile from the cloud. Add fc3_blooddragon_d3d11.exe to the exclude list in the vorpX config app or it won’t work, only fc3_blooddragon_d3d11_b.exe is supposed to be hooked now.

Caveat: hooking is a bit of a lottery since fc3_blooddragon_d3d11_b.exe is being started twice by the Uplay launcher with one instance closing immediately after it launched. Quite odd. Sometimes vorpX hooks as intended, sometimes without HUD/shadow definitions working and sometimes not at all… Not sure if I can fix that without breaking a plethora of safety measures in the vorpX injector, so it probably will stay that way.

Whenever the initial loading screen (“Tracking…”), which vorpX recognizes as HUD/menu, appears scaled down to ~50% of the game window height everything should be OK.

BTW: Could you provide a set of savegames for the game? I’d like to check a point later in the game, but there aren’t any savegames available on the internet that work with the latest version.

[jumpyjay]

I’m currently trying to run Dragon Age Origins using the Steam only version of the game. I’m thinking about trying it with a DRM free version of the game. I’ve tried to load my save and play without VorpX past The Joining scene that was causing the crash, but no matter what I do, the saved game will not load with Vorpx past The Joining. Just as a side note, everything played fine in VR up to this point.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, because this game looks pretty good in VR and I’d like to finish it.

[Ralf]

I can’t really answer all of your questions, what I can say is that I would consider some of the profiles for games you mention pretty good.

Fallout 3/NV/4/76 for example have full support for a unique set of features subsumed under the heading DirectVR that handle everything from resolution over FOV to perfect 1:1 head tracking by writing head tracking data directly into the game’s memory. You can play these games and many other first person titles like actual VR games, including VR controller support, which can be configured either as kb/mouse or gamepad.

In official profiles shadows and other effects that might not work well in stereo can usually at least be disabled. In a similar manner HUDs/menus are individually defined as scalable with stereo depth if possible. You also often can switch between Geometry 3D and Z-Buffer 3D.

Last but not least vorpX has a multitude of smaller features that you will find handy for some games. E.g. a built in gamepad to kb/mouse mapper, a function to deal with HUDs/menus/cutscenes that can’t be scaled (EdgePeek), a magnifier for small text in cinema mode (very useful in Dragon Age Origins), basic image processing (gamma/saturation/sharpness), a freely configurable 4×4 virtual hotkey menu that allows you to execute hotkey functions by looking at a floating ‘button’ in front of you, and more.

Stereo 3D as you know it isn’t even half of what vorpX can do.

[mr_spongeworthy]

I’ve been stereoscopic gaming for nearly a decade now, mostly on a 720p DLP in frame-packing mode (TriDef) but more recently moved to a 1080p display (so using top/bottom, mostly through TriDef as well). Since I already played in 3D I didn’t feel the need to hop into VR right away. Now that a wide-fov HDM is available at a reasonable price (Pimax 5k) I plan to hop on the VR bandwagon, and will definitely be using vorpX since the vast majority of my games are not VR titles.

My primary tools are TriDef (now defunct) and SuperDepth 3D for games which either don’t work in TriDef (few) or for which performance through TriDef just isn’t satisfactory, or for a handful of other reasons. (Unfortunately ReShade disables access to the depth-buffer during online play, so that makes SuperDepth 3D unusable in games like Fallout 76. We need to convince Crossire to allow this to work.) As such, I’m relatively familiar with tweaking 3D profile settings for games etc.

Anyone here make a similar transition and have advice to give as to what problems to watch out for? I’m just looking for some general advice / tips if anyone wants to share.

I mostly play character-and/or-world-driven RPGs (Dragon Age Origins = my favorite game of all time) and Racing SIMs with a dedicated racing seat and FFB equipment (T500) (Assetto Corsa = my current go-to). In fact, I’ll almost certainly want to go back and play all of my long-time favorites again as soon as I get the rig working properly: Dragon Age series, Mass Effect series, Fallout 3 and newer, etc. As such I imagine that I’ll largely be using an HMD with traditional controls (I have a Nostromo, so I can effectively keyboard & mouse without having to use the regular keyboard itself). How hard has it been adjusting to use of traditional controls when you can’t see them? Or does vorpX do such a good job of mapping VR controllers that even for games like Dragon Age Origins I should just bite-the-bullet and adapt?

And how are the vorpX profiles? If I see that a game is supported does this mean the profiles are excellent, or are there issues like the frequent lighting/shadow depth problems TriDef had, that have to be discovered and worked-around?

[slydk1982]

I just got Blood dragon very cheap from Uplay and wanted to try it in vr.
But no matter how I launch the game, vorpx tries to hook to file called fc3_blooddragon_d3d11_b.exe which is not supported by vorpx.
So I get its trying to run in dx11, so I disabled dx11 in the options, but it still want to launch that file.
Then I tried to make a custom profile based on the default blood dragon profile and added that to it.
It then kinda works, I get the Directvr scan now. But it only scans rotation and not the fov.
And the screen is extremely zoomed in. I have to put it in letterbox 2 and still zoom the screen a bit out to see anything. I then get black background all around the screen and it kills the immersion.

Is that the way it is intended?? Coz I wanted to buy Far Cry 3 & 4, but if I get the same results with those games I skip them.

[zahncisten]

This is going to sound lame, lol, cause I had such big plans! Prey! Deus Ex: Mankind Divided! And so many others (Dragon Age 2 and 3!). But I actually got stuck playing Skyrim. I decided I needed to get back and actually play through some of the other stories in the game (Dawnguard, etc.), and I have been playing this for weeks now. VorpX is so awesome.
Thanks for sharing this, raidouk3. I’ve had Metro 1 and 2 on my que for VorpX as well! I’ll get to them eventually (I played them flat, but how can I resist playing them in VorpX! lol). Are you looking forward to the third installment?

A couple of these games are deep discount on Origin now through Jan29th. Mass Effect Andromeda and Star Wars Battlefront 2 are each under $5.

Same goes for Dragon Age Inquisition, Titanfall 2, and most of the Battlefield games

Is there a new profile for Titanfall 2? The original was pretty bad–no depth at all between your gun and the background, for instance–if this got fixed I’d be psyched to play it.

[dborosev]

Did Dragon age Inquisition get a G3D profile? I didn’t see it mentioned, but may have missed it.
