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. EA must be hurtin for cash.

Good timing for profile updates, thanks Ralf. Finally off work, time to play 😁

Yay, we’re getting the new VorpX release in the near-future. Definitely stoked about that. If I remember right, there’s going to be an official profile for Dragon Age Inquisition! That’ll be awesome! I know that a lot of users prefer to play games in First Person. DA:I, like the other Dragon Age games, is of course in the 3rd Person, but I ran across an article today for a modder who made it into First Person! Actually, he made it so you can switch between modes on the fly. Pretty awesome. I doubt I’ll use it, since I like 3rd Person, but I thought some of you might want to give it a try:

Yeah, I guess I did misunderstand you. I had no clue you were using an HMD. Right on! OK, well, AOE Online has no official profile, so its not super surprising that its only showing up in 2D. However, you could try creating a profile for it using one of these profiles:
http://rjkole.com/gamestuff/engines/index.php?selengine=Havok
The game is listed as coming out in 2011, so just use search (CRTL+F) to look for previous year games to find established profiles. For instance, Dark Souls, Left 4 Dead 2, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising all have listed profiles (you can tell because they have the Pipes || after the year).
In the VorpX Config, you just have to download (“Import”) one of those profiles from the cloud, then in the Local Profiles panel, locate the newly downloaded profile, then select “Create Custom Profile” give it the name of the Game. In this case, Age of Empires Online.
Now, locate the new profile you just made in the same Local Profiles panel (It’ll have the name you gave it). After selecting it, associate it with the actual game .exe file (Under “Assigned Programs” there should be a blank box, but to its immediate right, press “Add” locate the main .exe file for the game).
Next, press “Apply” on the VorpX Config Window, and try starting AOE Online. If it hooks, and displays in 3D, you got it! (You may want to go into the VorpX in-game menu by pressling DEL and tweaking and testing the 3D strength, etc, and flipping between 3D modes to be sure that it is actually in 3D)
Finally, you may have to try more than one of the games in the Havok list in the link I gave you above from RJK.
Sorry if this is confusing, I’d do it for you, but I don’t own AOE Online to test it out.
Good luck! 👍😃

Dragon Age Origins has perfect depth (orzammar is incredible for understanding the perception. It looks awesome). I play all games in Cinema mode due to a balance condition (I’m dizzy all the time, so I need stationary things to keep steady, and cinema is perfect for that). I just finished Alien Isolation, that was incredible, and the depth was great. I’ve tooled around with Metro 2033 (not Redux) and the depth is spot-on. Skyrim is always a solid. Oh, and Mass Effect 3 (I haven’t played 1 or 2 with VorpX). The G3D is stunning. I’ve used VorpX for a few months now, and I love it. I use it every day (I’m not kidding), it really is great. If you think you are seeing things flat and you think it may be your HMD, definitely try newer hardware. I’d do that before I started thinking VorpX needed to be way different for my peculiar use-case.

I have Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 3, and Metro 2033. I’ll test those in the next couple days when I get a chance. I’d like to ask more specifics if you don’t mind:

-What screen distance offset setting do you use?
-What aspect ratio do you use (4:3 / 16:9, etc.)?
-Any other tweaks you recommend for them, like custom FOV, etc?
-If you don’t mind sometime, pick a game you think has good depth, and temporarily decrease the screen distance value and look at something close to you. Does the depth seem lower at all?

I’ll assume you play with a screen depth of 3.0 or less for all them.

And hey, you don’t need to convince me VorpX is great software. It’s the entire basis of me wanting to upgrade my VR set. I just want to get this one aspect ironed out and I’m halfway to heaven.

Great request and good timing for me. I have spent the last few days experimenting with some third person games with VorpX and have found the 3D strength to be very weak. This lock of 5.0 is too restrictive.

The reason for these recent experiments are because of my recent play through of Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice VR. My hats off to Ninja Theory for providing the VR version free to the owners of the original version. They built in an option under experimentation called “table top” and playing with this mode is nothing short of amazing and a compelling experience. I am a huge 3D Vision user and play games 95% of the time in a way which can be described as a “toyification” or “doll house” effect. 3D Vision allows for separate convergence and depth settings which are non restrictive and makes games amazing to play in this way. How we play games is subjective. Thankfully PC gaming allows for modifications and customizing. This provides for maximum enjoyment and personal experience.

Providing unlimited or much higher 3D strength in VorpX would be a massive improvement. There are only a handful of games that are good with VorpX and it’s not a fault of VorpX since most games were never designed for VR.

Having said that, I’ve tried a few games such as The Witcher, Neverwinter Nights, Gothic III, Dragon Age Origins and a few others in VorpX and the 3D strength is just lacking. I was wondering in the last few days if there was a way to get beyond the 3D strength of 5…….anyone with ideas to get beyond the limit of 5 for 3D strength?

I am huge fan of 3rd person games as well. Some “older” ones that come on my mind, Arcania, Divinity 2, Hellgate: London (if you like HUGE monsters and extremely noisy fights, probably my favorite game so far), Avatar (riding the dragon makes you feel like youre actually flying, crazy experience), Cursed Mountain (Adventure), Damnation, Dark Sector (IIRC), Game of Thrones , Hunted: The Demons Force, Rise of the Argonauts, Turok (2008), Torchlight .. Two Worlds of coarse, Velvet Assassin.

[Distant]

Yep, downloaded too, backlogging both for now, I’m still on Tomb Raider 2013, Rise of Tomb Raider, Witcher 2 and Remember Me. Feel free to recommend more of your favorite 3rd person games pls since many sites are on sale right now.
I got DAO Ultimate at GOG for 5 dollars.

I don’t have this game yet but holiday games sale is upon us soon, i’ll look out for it on steam. I agree, Vorxp changes the nature of 3rd person gaming for good, I’m also planning to revisit many old favorite games, Vorpx renews and reinvigorates my interest in gaming again after a long stretch of away time. Just a few days ago I was looking for a 4k projector with 1K x 120Hz 3D capacity for gaming but with Vorxp that is no longer necessary and i can live with the old bq w1070 just for the bluray 3d, for gaming i just need a better headset and save a lot of money. Inquisition graphics looks much better than the old Origins, should I just start with Inquisition ?

@ Distant if you want a great 3rd Person game with an awesome storyline and incredible (totally awesome) G3D, you should check out Dragon Age: Origins (Make sure to get the Ultimate Edition if you don’t have it already). I am replaying DA:O just because of VorpX. It is so awesome. And one more reason to get excited, with the next update, we’re supposed to be getting Dragon Age: Inquisition (AKA Dragon Age 3) in G3D! I can’t wait.

The Dragons Nest is probably the best one to start with.

Usually I don’t really talk about what is going on development wise, but this is worth mentioning:

Some of you may have been wondering why the f*** there aren’t any recent Frostbite engine games (almost all newer EA titles) with Geometry 3D. Well, the simple and not exactly flattering reason is that for a long time I couldn’t come up with a G3D implementation for a rarely used Direct3D 11.1 feature this engine uses extensively. At least not without completely destroying performance.

Until today.

Not only does it work beautifully now, it’s also faster than I could have hoped for. Overall less than 50% G3D performance impact without rendering to a headset, so probably only a little bit more than 50% eventually.

So far only one game has been tested (Mass Effect: Andromeda), but if nothing unforeseen happens, this finally should allow G3D for most newer Frostbite games including Battlefield 4 and newer, SW: Battlefront, Dragon Age: Inquisition etc. Stay tuned.

i have just tried with the game i play actually, not officially supported by vorpx, dragon quest 11 in Z3D, this new feature produces some graphical glitches every now and then but seems to work quiet well otherwise.

but i really need to test it further with many more games using vorpx.

that feature has great feedback from various users all over reddit, and yeah that sucks that it’s only for win10 :/ maybe they will make it available on previous windows versions in the future who knows ?

[steph12]

hello,

using conan exile (no battleEye) profile, DQ 11 works in G3D.

using conarium profile, DQ11 works in Z3D.

for performance reason i use the latter and i must say this is amazing.
i use cinematic mode with head tracking @2.00 strenght, 0.7 screen distance along with black surrounding (no decor at all surrouding game screen).

and while using Z3D you can also tweak ini file to make the game looks better (bigger draw distance, better shadows etc) look that up on steam.

now if only someone smart could find a way to tweak FoV that would be awesome.

just give it a try if you have the game and vorpx, it’s really worth it.
