Search Results for 'alien isolation'

[baylor703]

Just wanted to thank the devs of Vorpx… when I envision VR, most of the time I imagine playing amazing games in VR in a traditional sense with regular locomotion and controls. It’s insane that VR devs are ruining games by changing it to things that don’t work.

Alien Isolation with the Mother mod is amazing, and I’ve been looking for something similar for quite a while. Saw in the latest vorpx update that Outlast 2 is now available. I tried it, and holy cow. This is THE scariest experience I’ve ever played. Absolutely amazing. Nothing comes close. Not alien, not amnesia. Nothing.

You HAVE to try this if you’re into VR horror.

Thanks guys!

So several VR communities around the net have very negative opinions on VorpX. Which is a shame, because I quite like the idea of forcing VR onto some of my favorite games, even if it’s janky. After all, one of the first things I did when I got my Vive was play through the entirety of Half Life 2 using it’s original VR code. What a vomit coaster that ride was.

Anyway, I saw a post the other day of someone giving their playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas with VorpX a glowing review. They implied that, with the right set up, Fallout New Vegas felt almost as natural as Alien: Isolation with VR support.

Now, I’ve done a bit of research on VorpX. I have a rough idea of how much tinkering it requires and I have a rough idea and what results I’ll be getting out of it. But I need some first hand anecdotes from people who – presumably – are happy with the software and use it regularly. It’s hard to get any positive opinions elsewhere.

I expect a large amount of the negative opinions come from people expecting an easier or smoother process than VorpX provides, and I’m fine with that. I also have a pretty strong VR stomach, and I’m more than willing to sink some time into tinkering around to get the settings right. But I still have a fair few concerns. Like, how much in-and-out of the headset tinkering do you usually have to do on a playthrough? Am I going to find myself having to bind a lot of extra functions onto a lot of keyboard keys? Have many of you played entire playthroughs of games with VorpX, and if so, what ones? I’m curious to know what the more popular, well supported games are among the community.

Someone sell me on VorpX, so I can live the dream of playing Fallout: New Vegas in VR.

my game loads in 1 screen not 2 screens on my desktop

I see it has a vorpx water mark so I know its there but I cant configure vorpx in game

alien isolation and vive set up

[AgentSchwifty]

yes I️ did get it to work. Take raffs info above in this post. Plus I️ think i had to unplug and replay in my controller in game (possibly after the scan) to make it work. Sometime in game i unplugged and replugged and voila it worked. Now along with alien isolation bioshock is one of the best games in the rift.

I’l start by saying i have used VorpX with the Oculus DK2 and now with the Oculus CV1. I have played Alien Isolation and Half-Life 2 on the DK2 no problem even at the max resolution the DK2 could display and LOVED IT. 60 fps or 75? i beleive it was, was also no problem and i made sure the game made that target by tweaking some graphics settings, still ran it at high settings.

Now i have the CV1 and i cannot get any game to work at higher then 45 fps, even after turning off all the options VorpX has, so turned off head tracking, 3D (depth buffer etc to off), FluidSync everything off so basicly its like running the game normally performance whise (or so i thought). Even when turning down the resolution to 640×480 it does not run more than 45 fps and can even dip during gameplay.

Without VorpX i can run the game FEAR for instance at max settings with about 200 fps at 1920×1080 but with VorpX enabled no more than 45 fps, for some reason it seems stuck no matter what i do.

What is happening? Can someone help me diagnose this problem i cannot seem to pinpoint it.

Extra info:
– Tested on both an AMD R9 290X 4GB and now on Nvidia GTX 970
– Tested without MSI Afterburner running
– Tested without Steam overlay
– Tested without Reshade
– Tested before and after updating Windows 10 to the latest creators update
– Checked if Game DVR for windows is off and it is disabled
– Turned resolution down to 640×480 and lowest settings in FEAR

Is there anything else i can try? I know VorpX is really fast because it was with the DK2 when using the z-buffer. Now without 3D 640×480 does not even run, something weird is going on.

Does anyone have any ideas? I want to experience Half-Life 2 and Alien Isolation again on CV1! It was the best experience i had to date even if it was just on the DK2.

1.rocket league
2. Doom 2016
3. Outlast 1
4. Outlast 2 (not real geometry unfortunately)
5. Alien isolation, until that mod came out which is way better.

Would love to know if these games run in geometry mode:
1.Dining light
2.dead space 1-3
3.mass effect andromeda
4. The evilness within 2
5. Players unknown battleground

[Garystevens]

1. Alien Isolation
2. Dead Space 1-3
3. Dying Light
4. Stalker COP Misery Mod
5. Metro 2033 and Last Light.

Note that I only play games in Geometry 3D (always with a resolution of 1920×1440), as I’m one of those rare people that don’t see a difference between Z3D and 3D Reconstruction = OFF. This might be important to know for people also seeking games playable in G3D.

For comparison purposes, my specs:
-Oculus Rift / 1 Sensor
-i7 4770 (4 x 3.4GHz)
-MSI GTX 970
-8GB RAM

As you can see, these are the absolute minimum required components for the Rift.

5. Alien Isolation:

– DVR scan never fails

This is one of the most fearsome experiences. Can’t play this at night. It has a clean minimal GUI, correct hand/body scale, runs very smooth at highest settings. A very fine game in VR.

4. Fallout New Vegas:

– DVR scan never fails

Works out of the box in DirectVR
(after the scan). Around 20 mods installed, played 15 hours and no crash. I enjoy this game very, very much. The only annoying thing is the dialogue zoom which gives me a real headache at times.

3. Fallout 3

– DVR scan never fails

Same as above, I just like the atmosphere in FO3 a little better.

2. Bioshock 1 & 2

– DVR scan never fails

Such awesome experiences! Looting is easily done without Edge Peek. Everything is sharp and clear as it can get. You have to rescan DVR after loading/entering a new level, but the scan usually succeeds. Only slight issue: Sometimes horizontal positional Head Tracking doesn’t work after DVR scan.

1. Fallout 4

One of those crash-free wonders. Despite the low to medium settings to run it at a moderate framerate, it’s my absolute favourite and it’s still a true eye and ear candy. DirectVR ALWAYS fails for me, even when I tried it without mods. BUT…

After fiddling around for days, I found a very pleasant setting:

– Edge Peek
– G3D
– rest = default values

I’m having a blast building and organizing settlements and watching settlers passing by. Combat and looting is also very addicting (much more in VR). V.A.T.S. feels ok as well.

@ Ralf: I’m really curious what your favourite VorpX games are. After spending so much time optimizing all these games, are you bored of all of them or do you still enjoy particular games using your software?

You probably have your reasons for preferring the gamepad, but I would highly recommend to use the motion controllers for playing standing. Especially with a standing setup being able to move your hands freely is such a huge immersion bonus.

I’ll have to give it a try. I was inspired to try gamepad standing because several people reported immersive results with that setup in Resident Evil 7 and with that new MotherVR Alien Isolation VR mod.

I have to admit that playing standing has been a big immersion bonus so I will definitely give the motion controllers a shot. Are there enough buttons on the motion controllers for all the actions I need like VATS, pipboy, etc?

The ability to need to fully turn my body while turning ingame in New Vegas makes this feel like a native VR game. VorpX is truly the gift the keeps on giving.

[Chrono99]

Ok thanks Ralf. I will look into flawless widscreen. Can you recommend some games that are fun in 3D or maybe you have a favorite game yourself you enjoy thats 3D and immersive? (Maybe like Alien Isolation with MotherVR if youve tried it? Thats a crazy realistic VR mod for AI. Its like your actually on a spaceship!) Hows the profile for NMS? That game was made for VR imo

Hello,
I recently reinstalled vorpx to play some of my favorite games in VR. Among them is Alien Isolation. I’ve followed a number of guides online for playing the game in geometry mode, which looks the best by far. However when I switch to this mode all of the walls and screens begin flickering and clipping through each other and overlapping. Anyone else having this problem? For me this only occurs in geometry mode. Is this what the warning about glitches refers to? Is there any way to fix the issue?
Thank you

[Grumdark]

Hopefully find the form or some method to actually get this.

With the arrival of new future announced VR versions for Fallout 4 and Skyrim, VR support by using Alien isolation mod, Doom3 mod and bfg edition, silent update for native Dying Light support with Cv1, and the currently developing mod For Half Life 2 VR …
The current situation makes Elder Scrolls Online now, among a few others, one of the new best candidates to play in VR using Vorpx.

The inclusion of 3D Geometry for games based on Unreal Engine 4 and Frostbite engine, would also be an improvement that Vorpx and users, shout out in this times.

Any links to the dying light stuff? Last I checked (which was a few months ago) there was still nothing ever since the oculus runtime was updated and the native support broke.

As for the alien isolation stuff, I just checked that out the other day and can confirm it works great (solves the shadow/lighting glitch that was inherent with the corp profile)

[Grumdark]

In the case of using an Oculus Cv1 and earlier DK2, the native support for Dying Light, has been silently updated, and can now be used very well, in sitting configuration mode for a single camera and control pad.

For Alien Isolation, a user has released a very easy installation mod, which also works with native support with Oculus Cv1 and DK2.

For some classic Star Wars games, (Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast) have updated 2 mod as well, working to give native support to Oculus.

I do not know if there is any way to use these media with HTC Vive for now.

Hi,

I’ve not used VorpX for a while. I had GTA V, Alien Isolation and a few others working in the past. Updated to the latest version and I keep getting an error on all games…

VorpX could not initialize your headset since SteamVR crashed when during the init.

My SteamVR version is 1499136050
