In reply to: Don't underestimate cinema mode
Thesugi:
firstly, it’s hard to promise that what you want will definitively work, but there is a very big chance that it will. Mirro’s Edge should work, but The Witcher 2 doesn’t have G3D, which is the true 3D mode. Here is a list of games that have been confirmed to work by the community: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nD_HyS8v_zKf9MZ3OYVpdnKAJBeMycGTgFmaJ639Oyg/edit#gid=0
Secondly, Vorpx is not hard to setup, but will require patients in some cases and could take a long time to get right. But it depends and it’s getting easier and easier with each update. Some games like HL2, Portal 1-2, Skyrim, bioshock 1-inf and a few more even have Direct VR mode, which makes it work perfectly with a simple scan. But you can always play any game in cinema or desktop mode without much hassle.In reply to: Don't underestimate cinema mode
hi! i’ve just register after read you’re comment on cinema mod. you made me so close to buy vorpx cause everythings i’ve see on the net is a mix bag of happy and disappointed people. so basically , u use cinema to play in 3-d the game like sbs ( trine ) and it’s great. say yes , and i’ll be a vorpx user. i just want to play mirror’s edge in vr and lot of game in 3-d ( witcher 2 , crysis 2-3 ) with my rift cv-1 and i want to know if it’s hard to configure . anyway thx for reading and my bad for my english ;)
Did anybody try this? I would have to re install and my pc is full so i would like to get info before venturing w this. Cheers

I am looking for a tool where I just push a “start” button and it runs fine by itself.
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
If I summarize, you’re both lazy and picky with video games (not a criticism). VorpX is not for you then, you’d most likely end up frustrated.
Yeah, I guess so. Regarding Skyrim: I’ve been playing the game since its release and my steam account Shows that i’ve spent almost 1000 hours in skyrim. If you are used to graphical mods since over 4 years now you can’t go back, at least I can’t.
But I appreciate your honesty. It’s a bummer that vorpx 3 does not provide stereoscopical 3D for Witcher 3 (since it has by far the most beautiful and immersive game world I have seen in a Videogame to this date) :( .
In reply to: So I am still on the fence about Vorpx
The 3D effect in Witcher 3 isn’t as pronounced as in native since it is applied after rendering the game. In contrast to that Life is Strange has full Geometry 3D, which works like native apps by rendering the scene twice.
You can play both games with the default settings, but if you want to make them more immersive, you will need to adjust settings. The one-click games that require no configuration for a fully immersive experience are the ones listed above with the new Direct VR feature: 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.

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?)

Huh, I can’t edit my post anymore? Well, I just wanted to add that I’ve just found a first Person mod for Witcher 3 :P .
In reply to: So I am still on the fence about Vorpx
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)

CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K 4x 4.00GHz
GPU: Inno3D GeForce GTX 1080 iChill X3

Thank you for reading. Have a nice day.
In reply to: vorpX 17.1.3 Available Now
Is there a way to stop updates. I had Witcher 3 running exactly how I like and now it keeps dropping frames and the Vive default environment keeps blinking in every 5 seconds. I want to be able to not update until I’m finished with a game because it seems like every time there is an update it breaks something.
In reply to: G3D ?
hi, actually i havent been playing the game as intended mostly i relax in exploring the games world because skyrim witcher bioshock infinite and even gta5 look so fantastic in 3d . Game play is to me an option but mostly i enjoy the free modes…
Hahah THXIn reply to: G3D ?
I think I was quick to blame the camera mod. Seems about 80% of the time the rotation is not enabled when running the scan.
I’ll check Immersive cam. Witcher 3 seems quite promising in VR. Not sure how comfortable will feel for a first playthru, but for exploring the map and finding the treasures should be perfect :-)In reply to: G3D ?
hi, unfortunately cant access my computer this week since im remoddeling my home. But i actually never had any problems with any camera mods. Further i havent been updating to the latst vorpx rev. As for skyrim iam using skyrim enhanced camera.
If one has problems with camera modes and head tracking u have to adjust sensivity of the head track in vorpx menue
My witcher cam immersive cam..In reply to: G3D ?
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…)
