In reply to: Titanfall 2 crashes as soon as it starts/won’t hook
BigScreen captures the 2D image as shown on your desktop. That’s literally several orders of magnitude less complex than vorpX in 3D mode, where it not only replicates huge parts of the supported 3D APIs, but also has game specific profiles that take hours, sometimes days, to create in itself for every supported game. Not even remotely the same thing. And that’s not even considering things like head tracking, the various DirectVR functions etc.
You can do the same with the vorpX desktop viewer, which comes as a freebie alongside vorpX:
- Start the vorpX desktop viewer
- Pause the vorpX watcher, so that vorpX doesn’t try to hook into games anymore. (tray icon right click > Pause Watcher)
- Make sure to run games windowed or ‘borderless’
In reply to: Outlast G2
You have to restart the game once for the field of view to be right (‘world is warped’). vorpX adjusts the field of view automatically to fit your headset on first launch, but a restart is required to apply this change.
Hint: If you want to learn more about FOV and how vorpX handles it for different games, check the ‘Essential Hints’ guide in the vorpX help. Useful infos that save a ton of unnecessary trial and error.
As far image quality is concerned, you probably want to use a higher resolution than the default one. In case of Outlast you can pick a quality preset on the DirectVr page of the vorpX menu for that.
Hint: To get the most out of this feature, it’s highly recommended to check the ‘Custom Resolutions’ sections in the vorpX help.
In reply to: Bad performance with Metro 2033 Redux + Rev G2
Please check whether they really have been added. If you added all of them, vorpX should be able to pick one that matches the desired preset under normal circumstances. Caveat: If you happen to have a multi-monitor system, you have to add them for the monitor that the games run on.
If for some reason you can’t make it work, you can disable automatic resolutions on the DirectVR page of the vorpX menu and set one manually instead. For FullVR games one of the ‘narrow’ ones (or a 4:3) res would be what you want.
In reply to: RDR 2 custom resollution
How odd, never heard of that before or experienced that here on an ultra wide monitor. Just in case: I meant the instructions message in the game window on your monitor.
Anyway, vorpX doesn’t set the resolution automatically in this case, but as always with FullVR games a 4:3 res (e.g. 1920×1440) is what you want.
Whenever vorpX can set the resolution, it displays an according notification in the headset and you have the ‘Resolution Quality’ option on the DirectVR page of the vorpX menu. Otherwise you have to set a res yourself. Rule of thumb: 4:3 for FullVR, 16:9 for immersive screen/cinema.
In reply to: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
There should be a hint regarding adding custom resolutions directly below the option in the vorpX menu when you select an unavailable one… Honestly guys, sometimes it’s a bit disheartening to see how many people apparently don’t even read valuable hints that are shown directly within the app in the most obvious way imaginable at exactly the right place and time.
The post below (or the according section in the vorpX help) has a list of useful resolutions to add. A bit of a chore to add them to your graphics driver, but once you have added them, vorpX’s DirectVR auto resolution feature can choose the higher ones too.
In reply to: Direct Vr Titanfall 2
Depends on the game. In Titanfall 2 you can do that in the vorpX menu on the DirectVR page. Whenever that is the case for a game vorpX displays an according message in the top/left corner of the game window as well as in the headset.
Generelly useful hint: always pay attention to any messages vorpX may display in the headset and/or in the game window on your desktop. Saves a lot of trial and error.
In reply to: f1 2021 don’t work
i was wrong vorpx supports the game in Z3D since 21.3.0 update
“F1 2021: Z3D/FullVR, DirectVR: auto settings, tracking”
try reseting the profile to default settings. delete the profile you downloaded from the cloud.
game should work.i never played that game yet, so i cant help much, maybe someone else can.
plus i dont have the same hardware as you (valve index)In reply to: Dishonored dialogue scenes?
I found the answer in this video https://youtu.be/sqo9H5bjkkk?t=861
Turns out all you need to do is temporarily disable DirectVR, and then re-enable it. I just played for a few hours and once I did this once it seemed to remember and be OK, at least until I reached the next main level.
5 hours in so far, Dishonored works great in vorpx.
In reply to: Cyberpunk 2077
back in 2016 fullvr mode was G3D with headtracking, 6dof, automated fov with directvr scan, looks like things changed.
full VR mode cant be with Z3D when you dont have 6dof.
there are plenty of full VR enabled game, like skyrim, fallout 3, bioshock 1,2, infinite and many more but i have hard time understand why some games are listed as full Vr mode while they arent, i know for sure cp2077 is not, as defined since 2016 was fullVr mode was and is supposed to be.
In reply to: Fast and Alt Fast Sync not reliably working anymore
I have a Pimax 5K here, which honestly is only ever used for making sure things work as they should in general. As you say, Pimax’ market share is just too low to justify more than applying some default values that I found working best for Pimax and considering the wider resolution while figuring out the automated resolutions in DirectVR games. That’s probably already infinitely more Pimax optimization than most other developers ever bother to do.
BTW: Requiring parallel projections is not such a big deal for vorpX as it is for native VR games. That only applies to the second render stage where the image is sent to the headset, which only costs a few milliseconds. Doesn’t affect the actual game rendering at all. Nothing you have to be concerned about performance wise. The only thing that really counts is dialing in sensible settings in a game’s graphics options so that the aforementioned second stage (the second number in the vorpX FPS counter) stays at 90fps whenever possible. Yes, yes, I know you don’t want to hear that. ;)
In reply to: Emulate Gamepad look Axis to Motion Controller?
Decoupling walk and look is out of vorpX’s scope usually. That requires more in-depth per game hacking/modding than vorpX normally does as it needs to fundamentally change gameplay mechanics. Even DirectVR memory scanner headtracking can’t do that usually.
There are a few exceptions from the rule, either when games support decoupled aim themselves like Arma III or when I code game specific mods (GTA V, RDR 2), but for Halo none of these options apply.
I’d still be interested in checking whether what you did might be a useful addition to vorpX, even without decoupled aim. Would be great if you could send me both your vorpX settings for the game (you can drag them from the local profiles list in the config to the desktop) as well as your OpenVR Input emulator setup (no idea where that is stored though) to support at vorpx com. Didn’t fully get what exactly you did, being able to use your setup myself would help me understand it better.
That’s the default since usually VR games works that way. You can change it on the DirectVR page of the vorpX menu.
In reply to: vorpX 21.3.5 Available Now
So first, Bioshock Infinite can now be set up to high sharpness without crashing. I really couldn’t notice any big difference since the game was already pretty sharp, but it looked smoother performance wise, i don’t know if that makes any sense, nothing could make it stutter, playing with geo3d, ultra resolution in config settings and ultra quality in game options with 2080ti. Where I did notice the big improvement in sharpness was when in DLC 2 you go back to Columbia, I played the main game before the FSR sharpness update and it’s quite clear how much better it looks in comparison, but also performs a lot better, no matter that the scene was pretty packed, it was really smooth.
Also Borderlands 3 now works great, I reset the profile to factory default and FOV was fine without touching anything, also after DirectVR scan the tracking is top notch, perfectly smooth. I tried geo3d and it was playable, but I simply prefer higher res with z3d, setting resolution to ultra, sharpness to high and the game was perfectly smooth and looked great, really what a difference DirectVR tracking makes, the only issue is that it can take several tries until it succeeds.
So great work, thanks for the update Ralf!

Not really. Performance wise the difference between 4:3 and narrower custom resolutions typically isn’t that huge. Besides: the game should run at 90fps with decent resolutions anyway. Give it a go, one of the best vorpX first person shooter experiences you can have. Max. DirectVR with all bells and whistles for an almost roomscale experience, even auto weapon hide. Like said above, there isn’t really anything this patch could improve.
