Hi,

I’m looking into buying vorpX, as I would love to play World of Warcraft in 3D.
I have already tried TriDef 3D Ignition, where I got everything but head tracking to work (the reason I’m here). But before I buy I would like to see how well vorpX this actually works. When I move my head, how does it look?
Also another VERY important point is that sometimes you have to read text and this text is usually glued to one of the sides. In TriDef 3D Ignition it’s almost impossible to read the text and the text that is glued to the side can only be seen with one eye (extremely annoying).
So, how did you solve this issue? Do you detect that something is 2D text or do you allow the user to pan the oculus rift view (I.E. like the game is a plane that you are moving right or left)?

Since vorpX supports World of Warcraft, you must have tried it. If you could upload those videos to youtube then those of us thinking of buying these products can go there and take a look on our oculus rift’s. You have some videos up, but they don’t really show anyone playing the game, but just moving around.
A trial version would also solve this problem (and let us feel secure that it will work before buying, especially with the amount of bug reports I see in this forum).

If this works, I will be in here to sign up in no time, very reasonable price! :)

Thanks,
Manuel

I was mostly interested in buying VorpX for world of warcraft (portal 2 assassins creed 2 also) but I don’t quite understand what it means that its “Z-Buffer 3D” only and not “natural”.

Ralf, that sounds great. Thanks for the quick reply. How is the compatibility with World of Warcraft so far?

Well, its not only a bummer, i feel kinda mocked by vorpX.
Selling a beta software for 35€ and clearly saying that World of Warcraft is working – but i have the same problem.

Right Click – Start for Oculus – and the game starts “normal” without any difference, so i´m not even able to play it 2D with the Oculus on.

I wish we could get an official statement for this problem.

Good Morning

I bought vorpx yesterday and started to follow the introduction on the documentation but when I start a game like World of Warcraft notthing happend.

Next I tried to create a shortcut with the Vorpx config but when I try to start it the programm says: “Please Start Vorpx Control before using Vorpx Shortcut” but Vorpx control is running, virus scan is disabled…

Please help

thx vexx662

Hi Soulking,

In World of Warcraft you have to press the right mouse button to look around. We might add an option to do this automatically, but due to some unwanted side effects it isn’t decided yet whether this will really be done.

Hello

I want play world of warcraft using Oculus with vorpx driver.

I bought the vorpx driver in order to play world of warcraft.

Activation code received yesterday.

But the play does not work well.

Beginners to ask for a detailed explanation.

I do not live in English culture. Please understand grammatical errors.

Howdy!

I have just received my key for VorpX, and while I’m very happy with it already, I seem to have noticed that, at least in World of Warcraft, when Head Tracking is enabled, my cursor moves with my head. Which is quite annoying.

However, with Head Tracking disabled, I can’t use Edge Peek anymore, which is something I’m really a fan of.

Is it currently already possible to have Edge Peek without the mouse tracking?

I just wanted to say i like the start so far, its not perfect and to be honest not quite what i had hoped but…..its not bad for a beta and i like the features so far. I tried out a few games, arma 2, skyrim, and world of warcraft 3.3.5. I found that in the recommendations of using 1280 x 960 resolution that seems to work the best as far as having a correct aspect ratio. But as others have pointed out the Feild of view is rather small in most games. it helps in games that you can adjust the feild of view. a tip with World of Warcraft is to download the wow machinima tool and use the fov slider on that (but that seems to reset whenever you hit a loading screen) and the 3d depth in world of warcraft doesnt seem that good yet. but i think so far not a bad driver set, head tracking also sometimes feel like it sways a bit side to side at a angle but..im sure it will be worked out in the future. :-) thanks for releasing it and i hope feedback will provide lots of help for improvements!

Ok seriously you are starting to tick me off sir. its insane that you are taking FOREVER to release it because apparently it has to be perfect..even though the first users for it will be with the DEVELOPMENT KIT! therefor we dont CARE if its not perfect!!!! jebus fricking christ. It just really upsets and frustrates me.. your software is badly needed because lets be honest right now that many things to try with the rift i did most of the demos and the only real game i can play on it is minecraft as i dont like the perception driver settings and half life 2 i rather play it without the hud but you gotta freaking enter two console commands everytime you load a map (and thats not easy to do with the rift).

i got my hopes up thinking oh wow at least world of warcraft is going to work with it using a mod someone did.

it doesnt..well not for me. maybe because my moniter cant run the super low resolution apparently required by the mod. corse it doesnt help that you have litterarly like 42 steps to get the damned thing working and even after all that it didnt for me….not their fault though but if they had a coder like you who could simply inject a driver instead of relying on TWO other programs .to get it to “render” right.

(again not really their fault i suppose though i strongly suggest they come up with a better solution in the future at least…)

but seriously come on release the damn thing already. we NEED it. and hey we are willing to PAY you for it.

hell. ill say it. it pisses me off!

you annouced it before the rifts started shipping you told us then “ohh oooh it will be out around when the rifts start shipping”

YEAH RIGHT!! then hyou go and post a nice little interview and have Road to VR do a nice preview of Vorpx like what 2 months ago? and since then NOTHING?

really?? i mean come on..how freaking long is it going to take you? my guess is another company like tridef or something is going to come up with a solution before your slow ass does.

the fact that you freaking dont even BOTHER now to update the blog here AT ALL in what THREE frigging months. shows you really dont give a flying fudge about the people here who want to be a part of it.

God just what we need for this …some anal developer whos locked in his room in la la land taking FOREVER to release a damn product thats right now for a DEV KIT vr headset.

GOD! it PISSES me off! how long is it going to be? another 3 months?

what really rubs my skin is the fact that you gave out (free im sure) nice little beta versions to “special people” who have had it for MONTHS now but for those who are willing to PAY YOU for the damn thing oh no screw that….no we cant get in the beta…not even if we ask. no sorry screw us huh?

whatever. you should have had a beta program like what they are doing on steam now where you pay for beta at a discount and then get the full version too

that way people who really want it wont have to wait months and months and months and months and months. and that way you could take all the time you wanted in the beta.

UGH. whatever. gotta say development for the rift has been pretty slow lately. there was a bunch of cool demos and stuffs the last few months but i dunno the last few weeks its like been silent. i guess there busy working on their projects but we NEED VORPX!

god id almost be willing to pay 100 bucks right now to get it JUST to have some more content to use with the rift!

hell thats what im doing right now with Unity. because of the lack of content.. i bought a 90 buck asset pack (was a nice one too) to have something to work with

and im kinda using it as an alternative to garrys mod because that idiot (ok he has a great mod but..still this pisses me off too) decides to say that it has -vr mode support in the beta and HE DIDNT EVEN BOTHER TO TEST IT (YEAH ITS A BETA BUT STILL..AT LEAST if your going to enable a vr mode make sure it doesnt freaking crash the program every single time!)

so ive been trying to learn to import other models which ironically you most likely could get in garrys mod anyways.. so i can make my little scenes and its may cost me more as i might get some other programs to import more stuff into it.

but whatever. the rift is so awesome it just begs to have more content for it. and i dont mind paying for it if its cool.

but yeah…take all the damn sweet time you want. honestly wish someone would have uploaded a beta versoin of it on pirate bay or something so that those wanting to try it out actualy could as honestly a middle finger to you for annoucing this wonderful great awesome driver that now apparently has 80 game supported

AND TAKING FOREVER TO RELEASE IT AND RELEASING A FREE BETA TO A “SELECT” GROUP OF PEOPLE AND THEN COMPLETELY IGNORING US THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT!

sorry. people may think im being an ass for posting this.

but COME ON. maybe if enough people bitch about it you’ll finally decide “ooh gee duh maybe i should go ahead and release the beta for people who want to buy it”.

sorry this sounds negitive but apparently not like anyone ever posts that muuch here anyways considering that he has all but abandoned this blog.

RELEASE VORPX ALREADY. HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO BEG FOR YOU TO DO SO:?
ugh.

deleate this post if you want i dont care just sick of waiting.

[MrGeddings]

the fact also that you cant even bother to proide any more blog post updates on your progress on this site but instead post it on other sites shows that you really dont give a crap about us … too. i mean i KNOW your not working on the thin 24/7 ……at the very least as i have requested quite a few times….you could give us a updated list of the “80 games” that work with it or something. the fact that you didnt even mention world of warcraft works with the beta even though a german site showed it off.

i mean seriously you want to make a product show a little respect to the people who want to be a part of it….ugh……dont even know why you have this site up honestly just deleate this whole thing and then make a simple page that says “vorpx will come out when I say it comes out and i coudnt give a crap about you ”

lol……..well whatever. least i have unity hopefully by the time my trial ends in 4 months vorpx will be out

yeah right. should have came out 4 months ago.

[MrGeddings]

i guess not.

but i wanna run around world of warcraft in the rift “sniffles”. :-( oh well the closest i can get now is loading up the stormwind map in minecraft :-p

[MrGeddings]

You said to use that within two months ago that VorpX would come out shortly after the dev kits start shipping and youd get yours. Well you have stated you have had yours since for about a month now….and other sites are getting to try out the beta and such. I really do not understand why you could not just go ahead and sell the drivers now.. and users can get the beta now and get the full version when it comes out too. First of all this would actually start getting you income from your hardwork already (so the longer you wait to release it then the longer you’ll see any money from it too) and second of all as its been posted it seems many of us would be glad to pay and have an beta version right now.

because theres really not all that many actual games that run on the Rift right now and we would really like to have more options and such. I am getting my rift in about two weeks as is a good group of people from the US. could you please, please try to release something within the next two weeks? you pretty much said a month ago that “you arnt sure when its being released” It doesnt have to be perfect. and i think thats the problem with some devs is that they think the software they have has to be “perfect” before they release it. It doesnt. looks like from the previews and all it is very nice in what it does now.

I just hope this doesnt become one of those projects that gets a lot of reports on it but keeps slipping month after month from release because its “still being worked on” you said i think before that once you get your rift it would be released shortly after that….well its been a month already.

I therefor urge you to release the drivers as it is now for the 40 bucks as i would be glad to buy it now as many others would too just state that its in beta stage thats all…..it just would be nice to have this to play around with in two weeks when i get mine.

please please dont wait another month or two to release this ok? thanks.

and i dont really understand why you havent updated your blog in a month to at least at the very least link to the roadtoVr articles ..for some of the cool infomation about VorpX …the price….the fact that world of warcraft works for it..the fact that now 80 games are supported instead of just 50. were found on 3rd party sites!

seems your doing a great job so far but….a bit more commmunication here and some promise that it will be released soon and not in another two months or so ..would be nice.

thanks……(and others who woudnt mind paying to play the beta version now should add a comment as such to this post too!)
