So as the title say’s.

I am getting no 3D/360 effect at all. Just a small screen with the game running in my vive view and no matter which mode I try through VorpX ingame control panel, nothing will get it in to Stereoscopic 3d. I was as first just trying Alien isolation. Rather than switching from game to game to begin with to keep confusion/trouble shooting to a minimum. But I have also tried The Hunter: Call of the wild and this behaves exactly the same.

Things I have tried so far is to uninstall/reinstall VorpX, SteamVR and even the games themselves. Also tried Cloud profiles for the games in question.
I also like to use MSI Afterburner which I disabled straight away due to being known to cause issues in various games etc.

I’ve been through the settings so many times now and still can’t figure out what is causing this. The funny thing is that the first time I tried VorpX with Ai is worked as intended. Since then I hadn’t changed any settings within any of my software/programs but it just refuses to go in to 3d mode…

My system is well above the required VR specs needed. Hitting the required 90fps constantly for a fluid experience.

Am I missing something really simple? Thank you in advance for any information.

EDIT: Happy new all ;)

Hi,
Just picked up a rift DK2 for very little along with a copy of vorpx to make best use of it; for the most part it’s working great but I’m having the following issue.

As soon as I start up vorpx, windows defender grabs hold of it and rags my cpu for 25-30% before I’ve even started anything else up!
I’m presuming that it’s the antivirus/malware trying to work out what vorpx is doing but as you can imagine it makes the more cpu intensive games run slow which buggers up the vr. For example alien isolation runs butter smooth, fallout4 not so much.

Rough machine specs are i5 2500k@4.6ghz / gtx780 / 16gb 2300mhz ddr3 / win10 pro.

Any thoughts?
Cheers
Ed

yesterday I tried alien isolation with the mod vr, and I must say that graphically it is scary, in the good sense! very precise, almost realistic graphics, practically “real” 3d …

the g3d effect of vorpx in what does it differ?

just to try to understand some technical aspects that may be of interest

p.s.
ah now that I think of it, I’m curious to try alien isolation with vorpx to see the graphic difference

I play all games in Cinema mode due to a balance condition (I’m dizzy all the time, so I need stationary things to keep steady, and cinema is perfect for that). I just finished Alien Isolation, that was incredible, and the depth was great. I’ve tooled around with Metro 2033 (not Redux) and the depth is spot-on. Skyrim is always a solid. Oh, and Mass Effect 3 (I haven’t played 1 or 2 with VorpX). The G3D is stunning. I’ve used VorpX for a few months now, and I love it. I use it every day (I’m not kidding), it really is great. If you think you are seeing things flat and you think it may be your HMD, definitely try newer hardware. I’d do that before I started thinking VorpX needed to be way different for my peculiar use-case.

I have Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 3, and Metro 2033. I’ll test those in the next couple days when I get a chance. I’d like to ask more specifics if you don’t mind:

-What screen distance offset setting do you use?
-What aspect ratio do you use (4:3 / 16:9, etc.)?
-Any other tweaks you recommend for them, like custom FOV, etc?
-If you don’t mind sometime, pick a game you think has good depth, and temporarily decrease the screen distance value and look at something close to you. Does the depth seem lower at all?

I’ll assume you play with a screen depth of 3.0 or less for all them.

And hey, you don’t need to convince me VorpX is great software. It’s the entire basis of me wanting to upgrade my VR set. I just want to get this one aspect ironed out and I’m halfway to heaven.

I’ll make this my last response to this post as well. I’ll concede that I have no idea what it would take for a developer to implement such an option. If this required a fork lift change or required a massive amount of time to implement, this is understandable. Doesn’t change the fact the 3D strength is still too weak. Most PC games were never designed for VR anyway. VR in general is still in infancy. Many developers are creating new ways to play in VR and it is one massive experimentation….lol.

Some of the best VR experiences are coming from mods. Alien Isolation VR, Doom 3 Fully Possessed VR, Penumbra VR are amazing. The fact these were never originally designed for VR is ironic. Creativity is what makes PC gaming so dam fun. Hellblade VR with their experimentation “table top” mode is an incredible way to play a third person game in a headset.

Anyway, if that is what it is, you can’t fight city hall….lol. Nothing wrong with constructive feedback.

Hi all, new guy here. Just purchased Vorpx a few days ago, having a blast.

I’ve got AI running well, but I have an issue I can’t seem to sort out. I’ve searched here, and the net, but have not found a working answer. I’m using a Rift, G3D, and a Ps4 controller, and I’m unable to “look around corners”. When I tilt my head, the whole screen is tilting as well. What setting do I need to change to stop this behavior. I’ve tried every “del menu” item that might seem applicable, and nothing seems to help.

So, I’m excitedly looking forward to playing Prey (2017) in G3D some time in the future, so I thought I should play something else until then. I switched over to playing Alien Isolation. Obviously a great game. I’ve heard the mod that takes it into VR is good as well, but honestly I can’t play any games in VR outside of VorpX (I have a balance condition that makes me very reliant on my eyes for sense of balance, so playing games in Cinema Mode is great, because there is always something that isn’t moving! Lol).
Anyway, so I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on Film Grain or other such settings, including (in-game) FOV settings, etc. I put the FOV on 55 and turned Film Grain off. In G3D there is just nothing better, I think. Thoughts?

Well I reinstalled vorpx and relaunched KCD but still no g3d.
What is going on here? Other games work fine like csgo, mass effect, and alien isolation. However KDC is the game I bought vorpx for.

Next step is to try and reinstall KDC.

Hej, today i tryed alien isolation and it works without changing anything in vorpx so i guess its something else. No i dont have reshade, althought its a lite weird because when i use a sortcut for alien isolation it doesnt work but when i press play within steam it does work, the other games just start ignoring vorpx and steam’s desktop game theatre(i’ve tryed both check and uncheck steam’s desktop game theatre). I would apriciate any help becouse the reson i bought vorpx was resident evil 7 i dont really care for other games

[pshift]

VorpX doesn’t seem to want to hook into The Elder Scrolls Online (Steam ver). This was the main reason I bought it.

VorpX itself is working otherwise; I can get the desktop and it hooks with Alien:Isolation.

Any suggestions of what I can try?

Already have it my friend. I bought it for Oculus Rift and I also am getting Lenovo. I would still like an answer to my question though. Anyone know what refresh rate to set for custom resolutions?
Thanks in advance 🙂

Why is it so important? gta 5 gets 45 fps on gtx 1080 with resolution 2880*2160 and it looks pretty amazing for me, but I cant reach the same quality and fps when changing vorpx options autores. far cry 3 just the same( I want try it even more but nvidia custom resolution don’t let it)

But, the more resolution I make the faster vorpx is stuck. Games crashes, (exept alien isolation – it flowing nice) If I change resolution down, games playing stable longer but not much. Sometimes game unfreezes thru 2-3 min. I anticipate vive pro will have the same problem with more streaming requirements.Vorpx driver will stuck all the time.

Not really important. Just want to make sure I’m doing it the right way. I’m pretty burned out on playtesting different settings and would like to hear from Ralf the refresh rate to set to avoid hours wasted doing it the wrong way. I mostly use it for Skyrim and got it the best I can but havent tried to do it the way Ralf stated above. He just left out the Refresh Rate bit. Plus I only got a GTX970 so I really need to eliminate any unnecessary pixels and fps to squeeze out the best performance.

Thanks for your input PhoenixSpyder. I knew that about Alien Isolation. I will take some of your suggestions and experiment. If I can get a few titles to give me an experience like the VR mods I previously posted, this will be an alternate way of gaming time to time. I never bought Vorpx thinking it would replace my 3D Vision gaming set up. Nothing has come even close to that benchmark. The first gen of VR headsets are for us guinny pigs and I agree mod, tweak and tweak some more. This is actually why I like PC gaming, the mods and customization!

Cheers.

Well, to chime in on Skyrim with vorpx…I have to say that on my system I have it running by far the best considering it’s not designed for VR. Then again, I run Skyrim upscaled to 2880×2160, z-buffer with tweaked in game graphics to get consistent 90fps everywhere (I have almost 200hrs clocked in Skyrim VR to this moment). That said, I also have Skyrim visually modded with about 16 mods to further increase visual fidelity. Remember, Skyrim & Fallout 3 are open world games so there is much more distance in the background to see, which makes things look more pixelated and aliased. Upscaling to 4:3, 4k helps to eliminate this to some extent. On my system, I consider Skyrim the benchmark to beat…considering how far I can push the visual limits with it in vorpx. Btw, there is a mod for the gigantic hands. I don’t use it myself…I just got use to the gigantic hands.

I also have Alien Isolation with the latest mod and Doom 3 BFG VR fully possessed and yes they are very well done…considering their VR capabilities. Remember Alien Isolation was initially designed with VR capability then modded to recognize CV1 with the latest oculus SDK. Doom 3 BFG VR is probably the best VR added game visually to date. Both these games are definitely benchmarks, but to be fair voprx is providing VR to hundreds of games…and to really get the most out of voprx, one needs to experiment with the settings to find the ones personal preference to running it with each game. A new user may find it overwhelming at first to do some tweaking, that’s why Ralf has provided the latest update for us.

The latest vorpx update tries to simplify the process of just running games in VR without any tweaking. It does this quite well, but some of us have brute force systems that can go beyond the maximum auto settings for increased visual fidelity. It will run a game at what it determines to be the best overall experience for the systems capability. That may or may not be what a particular user is expecting though…which then leads to tweaking…if a system has more overhead performance. Don’t expect miracles after tweaking…unless you have HP to burn.

G3D is by far the best visual option in vorpx, but it cuts performance in half to achieve it’s goal. Games will run at 45fps (if system capable) with G3D enabled (unless fluid sync is turned off). To those who are use to 90fps, 120fps, 144fps on a 2D monitor…this can look kind of choppy. VR amplifies this greatly. That is why I myself prefer z-buffer over G3D…as it gets me 90fps for buttery smooth gameplay with a bit of sacrifice to visual 3D depth. After playing a game for a while, you don’t really see the sacrifices you made anyway. You get use to what you see and carry on with playing. It’s the limitation of the present HMD tech we all experience.

To sum it up though, try higher resolutions without AA, z-buffer for 3D for better fps, turn off fluid sync in vorpx in-game menu to get to those extra fps…and spend time tweaking (after turning off vorpx auto settings). If you find yourself screwing something up…just go back to the default settings and start tweaking over again. That’s the joy of getting things to work the way you want. It takes time but can be well worth it.

And yes, your not the only one who has thought vorpx isn’t really doing what you thought it would. It comes down to putting expectations to reality and living with the present technology as the pioneers we are…tweak, tweak and tweak again.
