+1 for the 30 second crash. Doesn’t matter if I just let the game sit, or attempt to change video settings, or start the game.

When it happens (or just before) my M1730 fan seems to kick up a notch or two.

On my machine, “Bioshock Infinite” is working perfectly (via Steam) for as long as I’ve tried to play it, aside from a minor head-tracking issue as described here:

https://www.vorpx.com/forums/topic/vorpx-praise-issues-impressions/

My specs are as follows:
OS: Windows 8 Professional (64-Bit)
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K (4-Core / 3.5Ghz)
RAM: 16GB Mixed DDR3
GPU: 2x GeForce GTX 660 Ti Cards, Factory Overclocked Running in SLI
HDD: OCZ RevoDrove3 120GB PCI-E SSD

I should note that I have v-sync forced off in the drivers when using the Rift/VorpX and that I’ve disabled Steam Overlay. For reference, I’m using nVidia Driver version 327.23.

@Ralf: If there’s any specific settings you’d like me to try to see if I can make it crash, let me know.

Hi Ralf,

I had a long play over the weekend and managed to get a better sense of depth after getting the FOV larger / right etc. I think the issue with eye separation is that all elements separate, therefore things like the HUD become hard to focus on even with a modest amount of separation. To be completely fair I do still prefer the rendering and control of world scale on TriDEF as it feels more “life-like”, but prefer the HUD, edge peek and zoom out functions of VorpX.

Don’t worry too much if you don’t have time to look at this. Bioshock’s art style in combination with the low res Dev Kit aren’t the best match. This will probnably be one of those games I wait until the consumer Rift arrives to finish.

Thanks for support.

well in that case we are running:

i7 3770
16gig ddr3
250 gig solid state
gforce gtx 760 by EVGA
windows 7 64bit

any more info i can provide?

[Ralf]

I have it working with the Steam version, and I don’t think there is any other (besides not so official ones, of course). Even the DVD version has to be linked to Steam AFAIK.

[yarvo]

We are having the same problem here.

After looking through many forums on people having similar problems we are hypothesizing that it’s the STEAM version of the game.

Or some kinda copy protection thats on the steam game that doesn’t like to be tinkered with???

Does anyone have it working with steam? Does anyone have the “30 second crash” without steam?

We may be way off here…. let me know

Thanks

Mine is the “30 seconds” crash, doesn’t matter whether I make it as far as gameplay or just leave it to load up the title sequences, after approximately 30 seconds it just drops out to the desktop. Sometimes I get the windows dialog that says “Bioshock Infinite has stopped working…”, other times I get nothing, just a crushing sense of disappointment.

[Ralf]

That’s a good idea, maybe it’ll reveal a pattern. I tried for quite some time to reproduce this on two machines today. No way so far. But there has to be something.

So, the more system specs here, the better.

Also please mention the nature of your crash please, some seem to have instant crashs on startup, others can play for a while, if I understood that correctly.

OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (Avast Anti-virus)
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k (@ 3.2 GHz)
Motherboard: msi p67a-gd65
GPU: Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 Ti
Memory: 2 x 4GB

So basically everything is different.

[DrBeef]

How about everyone who’s getting this issue shares their rig’s specs, just in case we see a correlation that might assist Ralf in resolving this issue?

I’ll start…

OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (Windows Defender Anti-virus)
CPU:   Intel Core i5 4670k (@ 4.2 GHz)
Motherboard: Asus Z87-K
GPU: Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti Top (OC’d to 1157mhz)
Memory: 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport PC3-12800 (2 x 4GB)
Wireless Mouse + Keyboard

vorpX works fine for everything else I’ve tried, it’s just BI that has an issue.

Hi thanks for the answer, unfortunately i tried the shortcut for games like skyrim, bioshock infinite, outlast, metro last light, portal 2… none of them worked. I cfan’t even access the in game menu of vorpx by pressing DEL.

Hi Nabelo,

no you are not alone with this, unfortunately. For some/most Bioshock Infinite works fine, others experience similar crashes like you do. You might want to check out the above Trouble Shooting Guide, but this is most likely an arcane bug in vorpX, so trouble shooting on your side won’t help.

You might be better off trying something else for now, rest assured that this will be worked on.
