A couple weeks ago I was playing HL2 and everything was working as expected, but now when I attempt a direct vr scan it always fails. Other games, including Black Mesa, still scan just fine. Between then and now my computer installed some windows updates and SteamVR self-updated.
After I launch HL2 and it appears in the headset I change the resolution in the settings to 2880×2160 full screen and load a saved game.
Windows 10 1909 18363.1316
SteamVR 1.15.19
Nvidia 457.30
Reverb G2 (WMR)How’s going? I am using Vorpx about 1-2 years and while fixing problems, learning about the tool, tracking perfect settings to play games in G3D, I found out solutions for those who do not want to play in low resolution while VR’ing.
I’d to share with the users and the owner how I play G3D at STR 1.0 (usually 2.0) up to 5.0 (making things smaller/super rounded) getting 80+ FPS yet in higher definition (almost as playing 1440p/4k).
I do a i7 6700 and a GTX 1070;
I use Pimax 5k+ with larger FoV;First, such trick can be used not only for Vorpx, but all VR games. Secondly, since I’ve experienced and still am ATM, such improve, I’d need Ralf’s or anyone explanation is what am saying is right or not, feel free to correct me.

In Pitool, w/e you do, as begin, use Render Quality = 1.0. The FoV and reprojection can be large/On
Go in SteamVR’s settings right clicking in the menu->Config-> go in tab “general” or the first tab, set “Render Quality” to manual. A slider will poop up where you can increase SteamVR’s Default 25%/50% up to 400, indicating just below the new resolution the supersampling will apply. Usually, with Pimax RQ = 1.0, I use it at 75%/100%, increasing my pixel’s density first, at 50%, from 2160x up to 3048x ou 5560×2632. You can test lower or higher resolution increment, depending of the game. If you go in the tab “Video” There’s the option of costumazing SS for every game listed in Steam. But if doing so, you have to equilibrate it with the Render Quality in “Geral” said above.
In the game, set the resolution down of your choice, up to 1440×810 in 16:9 or any below or equal 1080p (1920×1080) depending your graphics can go higher and, test it out.
The supersampling in SteamVR works great to compensate lower resolution judders and/o the aspect of low resolution we are bothered with, almost making it a native 1440p/4k game, plus, you’re able to play any game with G3D on, at 1.0 or higher (I am used to set it 2.0) with high definition and high FPS.
Extra adjusts I am used to do in-game, in the vorpx menu (DEL)
In the “Image Settings” Tab:
——
Sharpen Amount> I set it from 0 to 1.0 or higher in order to bring sharpness to the game. You can alter brightness a little if you wish too
——
In the “Display Settings” Tab:
——
Headset Sync: “Safe”.
Device (Fast) and fast makes my game stutter/lag, at least with my Pimax headset
——
In the “Direct VR Settings” Tab:
——-
Change Game Settings> “Off”
I believe Vorpx will pick resolution/graphic settings according your spec and-or what your machine can handle yet keeping decent framerate. I haven’t tested keeping it on but in case you’re setting your own resolutions/image qualities.
——Playing with lower resolutions allows you to turn all or almost all game’s quality settings to max/high/ultra yet SteamVR supersampling allowing you to see the image as good as playing in 1440 or 4k, in the Headset. Play FullVR or Immersive Modes in G3D, with similar quality at 70-100 FPS
Tip: Some games and VR games may not like high SteamVR SS settings due either they starting at a default quality/resolution or due them VR native games having high resolutions set by the player. Care in not setting super high values or test it out and do not forget you’ve SS beyond the default. That’s possible supersampling each game you have, as explained above, case you wish doing this only with X or Y game/application.
Any other tip and-or suggestion/correction is welcome
/Cheers
Sorry to bother you Ralf, but I thought I should report this. I have a mouse with two buttons on the left side; as it’s usually the case, the default functions for those buttons are ‘forward’ and ‘backward’ respectively to quickly switch between folders or webpages in history. I had the edge peek hotkey set to the backward key on the mouse in order to access it instantly and not take up a key or combination on the keyboard, but apparently the newer versions don’t trigger it with said key. When setting the backward key in the VorpX configuration app it shows up as Mouse X2 in case you need another reference. Happy holidays by the way.
