vorpX does a lot more. I.e. providing Stereo 3D and head tracking. In case of Witcher 3 it’s a 3D effect that is applied after rendering the game, so it’s not as pronounced as the 3D effect in native apps. Life is Strange has full Geometry 3D, which means the scene is rendered twice like in native apps. You can also move the “screen” very close to you, so that it fully fills the view to enhance immersion.

You can have fun with with these two games and vorpX, but you should be aware that they don’t belong to the games where vorpX really shines.

The best games for vorpX, especially in regard to easy configuration, are the ones with the new Direct VR feature, currently that includes: Fallout 4, Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, Borderlands 2, Bishock (original), Bioshock 2 (original), Bioshock Infinite, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Black Mesa Source.

Thank you for your Reply again, Ralf, that’s very useful Information. Unfortunately the only games I find somewhat appealing are Skyrim and Fallout 4. But Fallout 4 will get a native VR-Support anyways (soon) and from what I’ve heard you have to reduce the graphical ‘fidelity’ to a medium Setting in Skyrim for it to become playable via vorpx in VR. And I can only Play the game with a ton of mods loaded so I am afraid it won’t be a pleasent experience playing it in VR (–> due to low fps), I guess.

Allow me two last questions:

1) What’s the difference between the 3D effect in Witcher 3 compared to a, say, native 3D effect. Yes, I get it, it’s not as significant as you’d expect but is it still, well, enjoyable enough to settle down with the low Resolution of the game (I know, it’s a very subjective question…)?

2) I suppose that I will have to work myself through the Settings of vorpx to make Witcher 3 work in VR, yes? So am I right in assuming that it won’t be something like: Load vorpx –> ‘bind’ it with witcher 3 –> push ‘Play in VR’-button in vorpx –> enjoy Witcher 3 in VR?

(note: I read some of your patch notes from the newest update of vorpx and the easy functionality you’ve just untroduced does not apply to Witcher, correct?)

Both games are third person games, so they aren’t exactly perfect showcases for what vorpX can do. If these are the only two games that you have in mind for playing with vorpX, you should be aware of that.

Per default vorpX shows most third person games on a huge screen in front of you, including the two you mentioned. While you can disable that, vorpX can not convert a third person game into a fully immersive first person VR experience. A third person game stays a third person game.

Games that are better suited for a fully immersive experience with vorpX are first person games like Skyrim for example.

Hey Ralf, indeed, I am mainly interested in those two games and I am very well Aware of the fact that they are third Person games. It does not bother me at all.

What I meant with immerse myself into the world is that I don’t want to be reminded all the time that I am just sitting in a Cinema looking at a gigantic Screen on which a very low res game is displayed. I want to put myself as Close as possible into both worlds. To achieve my desired Level of Immersion is – besides putting me into the world – , however, a ‘natural’ 3D effect.

Let me put it this way: Always when I Play the Witcher 3 I feel like I am missing so much Detail that was put into those beautifully crafted worlds. As I said: The Big Screen mode in steam is garbage. Here is hoping that Vorpx is more suited to fulfil this desire.

Edit: As far as I understand you correctly, vorpx does nothing Different than Steam’s Big Picture mode? So again I am sitting in a virtual room looking at a virtual (3D-)Display? Damn. That’s not what I am looking for. Thank you for the clarification, though.

Hello everybody! As the title implies I am not sure whether to buy it or not (since vorpx is kinda polarizing the VR-community). So, if you guys could help me with my decision I’d be very happy.

Things you have to know:

– I am not a tech Person so I won’t have the Patience to learn how to optimize my Settings to achieve the best possible experience. In other words I am looking for a tool where I just push a “start” button and it runs fine by itself.

– I want to buy vorpx to immerse myself into the worlds of two particular games: Witcher 3 and Life is strange. Only Those two games have to work properly. By that I mean provide a ‘real’ (stereoscopic) 3D effect and they have to be playable (e.g. fps and Control wise) at the same time.

(side note: I tried to play Witcher 3 in steam’s big Picture mode and the experience was very bad –> Resolution + only 2D on Screen + I was sitting in a theater)

– My PC:

CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K 4x 4.00GHz
GPU: Inno3D GeForce GTX 1080 iChill X3
MOBO: Asus ROG Maximus VIII Ranger
OS: Windows 10, newest update
16GB DDR4-Ram + 500 gb SSD

– I am using Oculus Rift + I own Touch Controllers

Thank you for reading. Have a nice day.

hi, i guess u need to adjust ur resolution. iam playing gtx 1080 sli resolution 1920 1460 or somthing similar. I can say witcher on cv1 is really beautifull and with an independent camera mod ist crazy gameplay . I play in first and third person , so somthing in ur setting might be wrong. Check in vorpx menue fov adjustments, options like letter box , pixel size and so on..

( i just remembered having had a similar problem with a different game. its was related to my monitor i use a 4k 3d 65 inch and the settings of my hdmi port where set to optimized that prevented nvidia settings to work properly…)

Thanks for the update Ralf. But for the next release can you focus on more games with geometry 3D? Things like Deus Ex Mankind Divided, dishonored 2, dark souls 3, watchdogs 2, witcher3 G3D.

Mankind divided and dishonored 2, being my personal choices. Those would be crazy good.

A Lot of cool features here, but is there any way to rollback to a previous version for testing? I’m having some trouble after the update. Not sure if I should post here or in the troubleshooting section.

I pretty much use vorpx for one game (Rocket League in virtual cinema) and it no longer works after this update. Pretty sure it’s due to the vorpx update since the last patch for Rocket League was on 12/20 and I’ve played it with vorpx since then. I have an HTC Vive.

I did try Witcher 3 since I saw it already had a profile, and it did open in virtual cinema mode, so it at least appears to be isolated to Rocket League for now.

Also, couple issues that keep popping up every update which aren’t huge, but kind of annoying:
– My excluded programs list gets reset to default every update, I have to add all my exclusions back every time.
– My custom profiles (Rocket league) keep getting deleted after updates and I have to re-create them.
– The updates create desktop shortcuts every time even if they already exist. I had 3 copies of each of the shortcuts due to the last 2 updates for a total of 9 vorpx related desktop shortcuts.

Hi, i can confirm Witcher3 hooks on vorpx with Nexus modmanger..It tooks me time to find out the glitches prior to successfully lauch the game though.
Best is to start witout any mod installed.
1. Disable all dpi scaling
2. COG user need to stop voprx watcher.
3. Start the game by hitting the witcher3 .exe in Nexus modmanger.
4. The cog screen will pop up and a second screen too ,this is the point where you restart your vopx watcher (resume)( If u hit the restart button too early the game wont lauch, if u hit the restart button too late the game will lauch on ur screen not in ur CV1)

The game will launch in CV1
I do still have problem with “waitng too long for witcher 3 to start”, if i change tracking options. I solve this problem by just starting a differnt game and then doing the procedure as described above.

I’ve the steam copy of the game but I created the shortcut as advised and its still not working. The best I’ve been able to get working is a blank monitor with the sound coming through the rift. The rift screen just displays the text “Sorry, witcher3.exe is taking a while to load. If this issue persists, please take off your headset and check the app on your computer.” The text appears in the white grid room of the rift software.

I’ve got this exact same problem.

I played native vr projects like “project cars:pagani” demo version. Useing ultra peset 1280*720 with 8xAA – prety good and smooth performace.
When i lauched “evolve” it`s awful. i changed all switchers to low, 640*480 resolution, even turned off 3d mode leaveing just virtual theatre with no inviroment. i still see freezy picture and sound glitches. when i turning head picture jumping even if headtracking off.
When i exit game and return to oculus home screen all start work normal: sound, picture, headtracking.
it`s loock like some software problems. M.b. vorpx works better in win 8 or win 10.
m.b. it coflict with smtg. i read that vr drivers dont like overlays (skype, shadowplay, steam).
m.b i had to install some win updates (i turned off autoupdate)
I saw many videos on youtubeand there were no broblems.
VR set conncetr as it meant – only usb 3.0 native mb ports

so latest findings and good news Witcher3 is hooking and nexus modmanger is working, too.
I have to do the following procedure.
1.disable all dpi scaling .
2.inside vorpx diplay settings. only async rnederer ist enabled, if enabling fluid sync. the game wont hook
3. Start oculus home
4. start vorpx
4a.pause watcher
5. start witcher 3.exe
5a after you hit start on the games exe you need to resume the vorpx watcher.
game starts
Here is one more thing.If i played a different game and change the display settings in the display menue and than try to play witcher3 the game wont hook anymore.
To fix this i have to start a game that hooks with vorp. Enter the display settings in vorpx and the according values .Save and exit vorpx.
Then if i start witcher 3 it will hook again….
what a drag though!!!
hope tomorrwo the game will run and prove

[nieda113]

update. Witcher 3 is running.
How :
1. Start vorpx
2. stop watcher
3.start the game ( nexus modmanger is working)
4. after a second or two you need to resume the watcher ( vorpx control menue)
5. The game hooks
6 if the message takes too long to load appears , just click the witcher 3 symbol on your tasklist at the bottom of your computer
.
Thats all.
But now i do have a different problem. by disabling the cinema mode the picture in the rift ist turned upside down.. whats that ?
THX for reply

I recently got my HTC Vive and I want to play primarily modded Skyrim/Skyrim SE and the Witcher 3 in VR.
Before I buy, just wanted to know the current state of Vorpx development support for Vive users as I see that its still in beta stage for it as compared to the Vorpx support for rift. There are as many vive users (>150,000 as per this vive game’s usage data http://steamspy.com/app/327140) as rift users if not more (twice as many vive(60%) users on steam compared to 30% for rift – Steam’s latest october survey – http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey) so I hope the devs do give proper supp for Vorpx Vive users.

Just wanted to make sure that if I buy ..I can be reassured that the vorpx supp will get better for vive users in future as I am a bit hesitant with all the confusion around vorpx support for vive users online.

Thanks

I have no problem giving credit where credit is due, especially as there seems to be a lot of people out there on the negative train, due to super high expectations or inability to spend the time to set it up. That’s the internet…
Ralf, If I were you, I would focus on 1) setting expectations – give video tutorials, etc. 2) Maybe a wizard or foolproof simple page of instructions 3) Focus on Geometry 3D for a few more “winner” type games that would win people over. ie. Assassins creed 4,5,6, Splinter cell blacklist, witcher 3, fear 3, alien isolation, mankind divided.
Keep this puppy rolling – VR is brand new, and this has so much potential to be huge.

Cheers,
Dean.
