I bought vorpx and I thought it would work. I have the vive and have switched it to htc vive mode.

However witcher 3 fails to start
world of Warcraft is not true VR it’s just like a screen put infront of the lens and doesn’t at all feel like true VR. I’m thinking i’m setting it up wrong cos I hear really good stories about this product ( which is why I bought it)

I run withcer 3 from steam. And it always says failed to start unknown reason.

ESO online doesn’t even hook.

world of Warcraft only hooks when I turn it to dx9 and then it looks crap.

please point me in the right direction here so I can enjoy my product

thanks

Hello,

I’be got my Vive yesterday and I’ve spent so far about 8 hours discovering what and how it does. First I tried some of the VR apps on Steam and then concentrated on the main reason I got it in the first place – playing older AAA games. In the past months I’ve been playing on a big 3D TV on SBS 3D (TriDef) and I had some hopes and expectations on how the games will look and behave in VR.
The result is somewhat confusing and I have faced several serious problems that I need to resolve if I’m not going to go back to the 3D TV setup. The VR experience, while problematic in many aspects, felt really promising and exciting.
As a fresh Vive user I’m overwhelmed by the complexity of the system and the multiple options that need to be tweaked – on the hardware itself as well as different software applications. So I’m afraid I’m missing important steps/points/tweaks that can make the games actually playable. And maybe I’m missing an obvious solution for them.

1. The first problem is of course the frame rate / motion sickness. I’ve seen different solutions for the FPS problems and I’m going to experiment with them. I tried Skyrim, FO4 and Witcher 2. It seems the motion sickness is not really related to the frame rate as such. For example out of the 3 games Witcher 2 gave me the less dizziness which was completely unexpected as this game has terrible FPS even on a normal 2D playthrough. In Skyrim (and FO4) I was unable to make more than 3 steps walking or running before feeling dizzy. However I had no problems whatsoever with the killmove cutscenes that people usually complain about. So I guess my question is – what exactly causes the dizziness and how can I minimize it?

2. I’m using ENB Boost (as injector) with Skyrim, FONV and Oblivion which allows them to run without constantly crashing. I’ve read several speculations that ENB interferes with the performance of Vorpx and if you use it you are doomed to suffer low FPS no matter what. Is this true and are any considerations about running them together in terms on setting them up?

3. Menus and other HUD elements – impossible to see. Yes, there is the mouse-wheel solution but while you see the HUD while it is pressed there is nothing you can do with it. What I did was – press the mouse wheel, look at the option that I need to select and then trying not to move my hand or head at all release the wheel and click. This is quite annoying and what is even worse it reflects the dialogue interface of Skyrim making even talking to NPCs a tedious experience. I can’t even imagine trading with a NPC. Is there a solution for this?

4. Direction of movement – you walk and run wherever you are looking at. This will create a lot of problems for me as I’m used to constantly looking around while my character moves. I haven’t really tried it fully in Skyrim and FO4 because of the motion sickness issue. But it makes W2 completely unplayable because Geralt keeps running against the invisible walls in this half open-world game. Because the view is quite zoomed-in it is impossible to fully asses the terrain and predict where exactly the path lies. Is it possible to have the option to look around by moving your head while not influencing the direction of movement?

Thanks!

I would like to play Witcher 3 Blood and Wine too

Hi Ralph, yes, it crashes with that workaround. For some reason Desktop Viewer crashes. Same in Witcher 3.

I am using 1080, but I haven’t been able to run many games on vorpx. Witcher 3 and Star Citizen both crash for me. Performance in steam VR games and Oculus Home games though is solid 90 fps all the time. I am gonna try some more games tonight through VorpX, play with resolutions etc.

[reanor]

Anyone here tried Witcher 3 on CV1? How well were you able to get it to work? Did you use any specific mods, can you share your vorpx settings? I am finding very little information about Witcher 3 and vorpx, for some reason. If I try to run it with vorpx it just crashes, won’t even work. If I pause vorpx, run the game, then enable vorpx and run desktop viewer, desktop viewer crashes similarly to “star citizen”. Any recommendations, ideas, working profiles would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance!

Please check whether there are any remnants of 0.8 on your system. Make sure to uninstall it completely and do not use a runtime switcher.

The call to initialize the Oculus runtime fails with error -3001 (Couldn’t load LibOVRRT), which means that something is not as it should in regard to your runtime install.

ijust wonder , witcher3 is not on the games list. Why would it work than?

[reanor]

They need to update Vorpx to support latest Witcher 3. I think the latest expansion (Blood and Wine) changed something and Vorpx won’t hook any longer. It simply crashes in my case. I use Oculus CV1 though.

I can’t get this game to hook. I get audio and a black screen. I’ve read everything on the other forum for games not working on htc vive. I’ve had other games hook just fine. I’ve tried with steamvr both on and off. Antivirus and firewall turned off and no other ingame stuff or chat.

u got gta 5 to work with the latest oculus runtime and vorpx update it seems if u use the runtime switcher to go back to runtime 8 is the only way but vorpx only will use runtime 1.3 currently praise Jesus

Cinema mode for Witcher 3 is pretty bad. Everything seems to be very close to your eyes… 3D mode is even worse. Since its not a first person game the aspect of camera rotates from the point of Garrett, even worse than Cinema mode.

[reanor]

Star Citizen crashes, so it won’t work with VorpX and CV1 for a while prolly. The Witcher 3, for me at least, just runs in 2D on a big screen, instead of 3D, even though it is on supported games list.

Hello,
i tried GTA V and The Witcher 3 – Both have sound (via Vive output), but the Vive keeps showing grey and the window on the computer keeps black.

I’ve Windows 10 with SteamVR and the latest Nvidia drivers.

I hope anyone can help me out.

Good day & thanks.

Does anyone have step by step instructions for some games? I tried searching the forum and only come up with some old stuff for DK2, and I have the CV1.
Alien Isolation, and Left 4 Dead 2, both give me super zoomed-in menus where I can’t see anything properly.
Then, once I got into A:I the motion was reversed. I move my head left, screen goes right. Then, the height is all weird.
I thought this $40 purchase was touted as the “plug and play” version of this kind of software…. what happened?
I would think that each game would already have a sticky, where people can go and just follow the steps. Or a wiki or something.
Anyway, please share some got simple, step-by-step instructions for Left 4 Dead 2, Alien Isolation, Witcher 3, Star Citizen, Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally, Project Cars, Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Dear Esther.

Thank you!
