I can not get VorpX to load anything. I was just get a black screen. Fully updated drivers, VorpX is latest version. Not sure what else to try…. I just purchased VorpX wanting to use it for Witcher 3 and Fallout 4.

Now I see Oculus Home… when i launch a game, I get the screen for loading, then the game launches on my desktop and Vorpx just crashes. When I mouse over the VorpX icon it disappears.

First let me say thank you to Ralf for all you do. I am a long time lurker and long time owner. The experiences I have had due to VorpX allowing me to play some of my favorite games in VR is astonishing. My current favorites are Planetside 2, Fallout 4, ESO (it will work again I know it), Skyrim (of course), Dishonored, and the Metro series. Currently I am trying to get DayZ working and I thought I would try my luck and creating a new profile based on the ArmaII profile. When I attempt to link the .exe to the profile I get this message:
DayZ.exe is already assigned to the below profile(s):
DayZ Standalone
You can only assign programs that are not already assigned.
I have looked but I cannot find a DayZ Standalone profile.
I’m sure I’m doing something wrong and am hoping you can point me in the right direction. However if you are currently working on ESO DX11 please do not stop, I can wait. :)
Thanks again. I don’t feel you get enough positive feedback here or on Reddit so I just wanted you to know I appreciate all you do.

Certainly not in Fallout 4. Keep in mind that vorpX not only renders in 3D, which alone is more demanding than rendering to the monitor, there is also a second rendering process going on in parallel that renders the game to the headset, which also costs computation time.

You will never see the same performance with vorpX that you get when just do good old monitor gaming.

[Ralf]

Not sure about Oblivion, have to look at it. Fallout 4 however is very demanding. Too demanding for most PCs to play it comfortably in Geometry 3D, which renders everything twice. It’s highly recommended to switch the 3D-Reconstruction in the vorpX menu to Z-Normal in Fallout 4 and lower graphics settings in the game options to medium.

I was trying to get vorpx to work on Fallout 4, but when I am on the main screen I am averaging about 42 game fps according to the Alt+f statistics that vorpx provides. But when I run the game outside of the rift I average well over 2100 fps on the main screen. I have everything optimized from the config file and have tried changing and lowering the resolution but I just cannot seem to get it to go above the 40 range. I can tell the fps is low because it makes you deathly ill very fast from the jagged head movement. I have tried changing the geometry to z-adaptive but the fps remains the exact same. I tried saving the settings and restarting and it has not helped.

I also tried it with oblivion and I cannot get oblivion to go above around 50fps ingame while in vorpx, but then I get around 410 fps ingame without the rift and tried changing the modes as mentioned before as well.

Both games are 100% vanilla, fresh install.

Ok …. I tried Fallout 4. It started in VorpX, but crashed before fully loading (but I think that was savegame related). Perhaps it’s an issue with WoW. I’ll look into a bit more.

[Tony Spaniels]

Yeah fair enough, I agree with you about Fallout 4 being better in z adaptive. Its a better trade off in the end.

Skyrim has taken a noticeable jump in quality now to my eye. The scale never seemed quite right before but now everything sits very well together. Much smoother also.

[Ralf]

For serious Fallout 4 playing over a longer time I would highly recommend to switch to Z-Buffer 3D. Runs a lot smoother that Geometry 3D.

Some people don’t like Z3D, hence G3D is now the default. But in my honest opinion, games as demanding as Fallout 4 are way better played with a slightly flatter Stereo 3D than with a low frame rate around 30fps. Your mileage may vary, of course.

[Tony Spaniels]

Works way better now!

Works better than Fallout 4 now in my opinion.

vorpX 16.1.2 has been released.

This is a maintenance release that mainly addresses a few DK2 related issues with the last version. List of changes:

• Fallout 4: 15-20% performance gain when using Geometry 3D
• Some OpenGL games only displayed horizontal bars instead of the game
• Oculus Rift CV1: 3D mode controls weren’t always shown in settings UI.
• Oculus Rift DK2: head-tracking did not work correctly in some DX11 games
• Oculus Rift DK2: fix for severe performance degradation in some DX11 games
• Oculus Rift DK2: potential(!) fix for Desktop Viewer not showing in headset on some configurations

For information about the last big release please click here.

If you already own vorpX, it should auto-update when you start vorpX Control next time. If it doesn’t for some reason, simply use the web installer that you received when you purchased vorpX. It will download the latest version available.

Important note for vorpX 0.9.1 users:

vorpX 0.9.1 will only auto update if you have the Oculus runtime 0.8 running. vorpX 0.9.1 cannot start otherwise and initiate the auto update! If you already installed runtime 1.3, please try this:

Workaround 1: Use your web installer to install 16.1.1 manually
Workaround 2: Use the runtime switcher linked here to allow 0.8 run side by side with 1.3:

If the runtime switcher does not help and you don’t have your web installer anymore, please contact support |at| vorpx com.

Hey, check out Ralf’s response from the Fallout 4 issue, it might work for you:

It was a DK2 issue, and you can apply a fix immediately if you want. I will release an update later today.

To apply the fix manually please

1. Close vorpX if currently running.
2. Browse to C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Animation Labs\vorpX\Devices
3. Open OculusRiftDK2.ini with Notepad
4. Search for iTimewarpMode
5. Change iTimewarpMode=0 to iTimewarpMode=10
6. Save the file
7. Restart vorpX

The AppData folder may be invisible. If so, please enable “Show hidden files” in Windows Explorer

I don’t have the other runtimes installed so I don’t think that’s it. I did notice in this thread, however, that another person with the same issue, edo, is having the same problem but noticed that “ok got a few games to run, eg skyrim, batman, fallout 4, however I never get rid of that “Please waiting” screen which launches as soon as I start vorpx.”

I do have Skyrim so I may try to see if vorpX interfaces with it correctly later. He did state that GTAV and the vorpX Desktop (I have tried the latter) did NOT work from him, though. I think Ralf may have also misinterpreted his claims of the grey screen sowing up as being the disclaimer screen rather than the “Please Wait…” screen. So we’re definitely seeing something hang. Ralf did mention in that thread that you can contact support [at] vorpx.com to get the previous version of vorpX that runs with the 0.8 runtime if you really want to get up and running right away. Personally I’m fine sticking it out and seeing if we can figure out what’s happening, though. So far I think we are seeing a common thread here of Windows 10, GTX 980 cards and using the DK2. I do have a CV1 on the way, but I’m a :45 order so I suspect I won’t see it until probably May so I can’t be much help on seeing if that makes a difference for us.

I’m having similar issues. I didn’t notice that my body was moving to be honest. Either way something is off.

[SOLVED] Fallout 4 – Head tracking problem with Vorpx 16.1.1

It’s hard to describe, but when I look right or left I the screen peels away from my view and I see off the edge of the screen; almost like it’s in cinema mode.

Yeah same for me (odd and difficult to describe). Its like a screwed up backwards virtual cinema mode (or edge peek). Fallout 4 was fine in the previous release. Glad its not just me. Head tracking seems backwards and there is a screen in front (virtual cinema works fine btw).

Same thing happens for me in Bioshock infinite and Alien isolation.

This doesn’t happen for Skyrim or Dishonored (completely fine in those two).

[edo]

ok got a few games to run, eg skyrim, batman, fallout 4, however I never get rid of that “Please waiting” screen which launches as soon as I start vorpx. I launch the games over top of that screen and they seem to work however upon exiting the game the dk2 screen goes black and hangs. I have to exit vorpx and then the oculus store/library comes back on the dk2. Something is not happy there!

Also still no luck with vorpx desktop.

I have reinstalled, rebooted, reinstalled again. Still no luck. I am hesitant to do a full uninstall first since I am afraid that might erase my license key. Anyway it works this way; sort of. The “please wait” and hangup still seems to be there but If I ignore them the few games I have tried, do work. (GTA still doesn’t work but that may be the GTA VR mod not ready for 1.3 sdk)
