Horseback looks like this

View post on imgur.com

Using the Absolute Camera mod to increase FOV and such. Everything works great…until I get on a horse. I reinstalled Witcher and reinstalled the mod, launched in normal monitor mode without any issues on horse back. Now, after just trying Vorpx and getting this issue, the problem is there even in normal mode without steamVR/vorpx running. It’s like something with running Vorpx introduces this issue that persists even when not in VR. Any tips?

Since some people seem to have problems to run “The Witcher 3” properly, I want to give my optimal settings for a GTX 1080 (@ 2 GHz), i7-6700K (@ 4,4 GHz) system.

Public profile
You can find the public profile under the nickname “Amylion”. It’s a virtual 3D cinema for 4:3 aspect ratio (e.g. 1920 x 1440) with black borders (no ambience). The stereoscopic effect is enhanced both in strength and distance weighting. That leads to a strong 3D effect with minimal distortion at the contours; the drawback is a diminished difference in depth effect on close objects. The black borders are important, because the fresnel lenses of current VR devices sadly amplify bright spots in the periphery overproportionally.

Resolution
The recommended resolution is 1920 x 1440.
Contrary to some rumours it doesn’t actually translate to supersampling. If you run native SteamVR apps at a Supersampling factor of 1 (that means without real supersampling at the center of the display), the app will render in 1512 x 1680 for each eye!
1920 x 1440 is comparable, because the virtual cinema doesn’t cover the whole field of view. But if you go lower than that, the pixels in the center of the image will get stretched and look bad!

Gamma setting
The biggest issue are the gamma settings. It seems to be bugged. Even the highest in-game gamma settings are way too dark. Most details get lost in almost every scene, especially in dark in-door rooms with some light sources like candles.

You have to manually edit the “user.settings” file in the “The Witcher 3” folder in your Windows documents folder.

Set the “GammaValue=1.0” to “GammaValue=2.0”. Start the game normally for a quick test. It should look very bright and washed out (sometimes it fails to load the configuration properly), but in the headset it will look normal (= great).

Input
In the same folder you can edit “input.settings” file to change the inputs that for some mysterious reason are locked in the in-game UI. For example I put the inventory on my Mouse5 button.

These settings will work flawlessly on a system with a GTX 1080. You probably can even go higher in some areas (shadows or grass / foliage).

Have fun!

2. Bioshock 2

I’m puzzled. On my machine (Win10) the DirectVR hack of “Bioshock 2” crashed every 10 minutes, it was unplayable. I had to play it in normal Vorpx mode. I found the gameplay very annoying, repetitive and pointless. It was a struggle to finish the game.

“Bioshock 3” works well in DirectVR, but has some issues with shadows, lighting and in-game videos not showing. You will miss some facets of the story without even noticing.

My personal list:
Since I’ve never expected a true, native VR experience from VorpX, I mostly enjoyed the 3D cinema mode. I still have to reset my headset way below my normal head position, because Ralf doesn’t seem to be able to deal with or even acknowledge this bug, but whatever: It works. No longer neck stiffness from looking above all the time.

That said I had lots of fun in “Dragon Age 1”, “Dragon Age 2”, “Dragon Age: Inquisition”, “Resident Evil Revelations”, “Gothic 3”, “The Witcher 3”, “Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons”, “Bioshock 1”.

Ehh. Another bust. Getting tired of every game not working with Vorpx.

There is no FOV slider native to witcher 3.
Only FOV tweaks I can find are outdated mods on Nexus.
You can use cheat engine to adjust the FOV, but it breaks cutscenes.

[Zehm]

Gotta ask, why does the VorpX “supported games” list say Witcher 3 is supported when there is no profile for the game. That means that its NOT supported right?

[Zehm]

After playing around for a while I’ve managed to get the game to launch.

Start VorpX.
Go to the taskbar and right click on the Vorpx icon.
Select “create desktop short cut” and select the location of the Witcher 3 exe
Run W3 from the shortcut.

Now I’ve got other problems.

The FOV is all wrong.
The scenery warps and bends with camera movement.

Hi,
I have a Vive with Witcher 3 GOG version, but the game is always starting in normal mode, what do i need to do to get in in VR?

[EphemeralSagacity]

Was trying to get nwn2 working with vorpx. The best I got was using witcher 2 as a base (and tried witcher) but the 3d glitches with straight lines…then returns awesomeness, then glitches, etc. When working in cinema it is really cool.

I’m assuming it is just that I’m not picking the best base profile. Anyone create a good one that is working? Or is this just not supported?

Was hoping to do a run through of BGR with this. When the geometry 3d works it is so very cool to see, but I just can’t get it running such that the screen doesn’t get all sorts of crazy straight lines every few seconds of gaming.

Hay, i am just trying out Vorpx for the first time but i cant get it to run on The Witcher 3.

So i have downloaded the Game via GoG and it works perfectly fine without Vorpx, bu when i start Vorpx and select the Witcher 3 profile in th Local tab, after that i start the Witcher 3 but just a black box opens for a second and thats it basically.

Any advice someone?

Hi,

if you are still interested, I had witcher 3 running without steam vr. The game is very performance intense with vorpx. I have a similiar PC. Try lowering the resolution to 1600×900 and lower settings in witcher to see if it is better. Higher resolutions were choppy for me, too.

1. launch vorpx
2. launch witcher 3
3. set vorpx cinema mode without the head controlling the mouse movement

regards

I was able to set up my settings and play the game in Direct VR and play for several hours without any problems. I turned on my PC earlier today and tried starting Skyrim only to have it crash right after the Bethesda logo. Thought it was just a load issue so i tried again, again, and again with no success. Have already verified Integrity of Game Files and even reinstalled Skyrim. Also did a Factory Reset of VorpX.

To check if the issue was with Skyrim or VorpX i started up both Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3, both work fine without any problems.

Ive beeen looking around for a few hours now and havent found a solution that works for me. Anyone have any ideas or know why its crashing?

Skyrim Game Settings:
Windowed: 1280×1024
Antialiasing: Off
Anistropic Filtering: 16
Texture Quality: High
Radial Blur: Medium
Shadows: Medium
Decals: High
FXAA: ON
Water Options: All ON

-These are the same options when i originally set up VorpX for Skyrim.
