Hi,
So my main use case for VorpX is to play 3rd person games in stereo 3D using the Cinema display. In this setup by far the best input method for me is my gamepad, with no headset or gesture control at all.
So far, though, it’s really hit or miss as to how easy (or even possible) I find this.
For example, Assassin’s Creed II and Batman: Arkham City both worked really easily whereas I have found GTAV and Batman: Arkham Knight impossible to get up and running, despite tinkering literally for hours.Is there a comprehensive list of VorpX settings and tips for game-setup for running gamepad-only setups?
In case it helps, my setup is PSVR2 running under SteamVR and I generally use the PS5 Dualsense controller for regular gaming.
Really appreciate any help and input and, judging by the number of posts and things I’ve seen dotted around, I think having all of these tips in one place could be helpful to a lot of people out there.
Thanks,
Alex

25/08/28 | vorpX 25.1.0 has been released
This update reunites the regular and the ‘cutting edge’ branches. For those who until now used the regular version it brings three major new features: motion controller gestures, a rewritten desktop viewer and a virtual monitor.
Those who already used the cutting edge build can skip to the full changelog at the bottom of this post to check what has changed since then.
Motion Controller Gestures
You can now map predefined motion controller gestures to key presses and gamepad actions. Aminig down sights, reloading, melee combat, steering wheels and a lot more gestures are available to turn flat games into more immersive VR experiences. While not every game benefits from gestures in the same manner, some (e.g. first person shooter games) can actually feel close to native VR that way. Even seated just a handful of gestures can tremendously improve immersion compared to playing with a gamepad or mouse/keyboard.
Various profiles already have gestures predefined, try e.g. Cyberpunk 2077, Starfield, Titanfall 2 or Aliens Colonial Marines. More will follow. For other games you can easily define gestures yourself. Be amazed how easy that is and how well it can work. Check the video below for a brief introduction.
Desktop Viewer Rewrite
The rewritten desktop viewer now handles high GPU load a lot more stable and also addresses a bunch of annoyances the old desktop viewer had, e.g. the inability to display Windows admin rights prompts.
If vorpX can’t hook a game, try the new desktop viewer. Especially in tandem with the third new feature the vorpX desktop viewer now is the ultimate VR flat game cinema.
Virtual Monitor
The new virtual monitor finally makes running games at higher resolution than your actual monitor allows a breeze. All important resolutions are predefined, and you can easily add more if you want in the config app.
Added benefit for desktop capturing and playing games unhooked with the desktop viewer: the virtual monitor always runs at the refresh rate of your headset, which removes any form of micro stutter that normally is the result of capturing e.g. a 60Hz monitor and displaying it on a 90Hz headset.
The easiest way of using the virtual monitor is launching the vorpX desktop viewer and putting on your headset. Per default vorpX will then switch to its virtual monitor.
Full Changelog
Biggest changes from official (21.3.5) to last cutting edge build (24.1.0)
- Motion Controller gestures that easily let you map VR controller gestures to key/button presses. vorpX gaming as close to native VR as never before.
- A virtual monitor has been added that lets you play games at arbitrarily high resolutions and always has the exact same refresh rate as your headset, which is especially great in cunjunction with the desktop viewer. The smoothest VR desktop experience ever.
- Desktop viewer rewritten to minimize CPU/GPU usage, get rid of a few annoyances, and work great with the new virtual monitor.
Biggest changes since 24.1.0
- Redesigned rendering/post-fx pipeline that significantly reduces the amount of GPU memory used by vorpX at high resolutions.
- Custom memory manager that keeps memory allocated by vorpX separated from game memory as much as possible. Improves general stability everywhere, most notably when using high resolutions with some 32-bit games, e.g. Dragon Age Origins, Venetica.
- Special treatment for 32-bit games able to handle more RAM than the usual 32-bit 2GB limit. vorpX can now detect and directly utilize the extra memory. If you encounter crashes with 32-bit games at high resolutions, check the internet for tools that make them ‘large address aware’. Note that trying that with modern 64-bit games has no effect, those can use all your RAM per default.
- Major (ongoing) spring cleaning continued: lots of internal changes and refactorings that improve general stability and/or help keeping the developer of this Tower of Babel happy.
Noteworthy smaller changes/fixes since 24.1.0
- Optimized texture sharing between game and vorpX threads. Fixes DX12 black screen caused by nVidia driver 580.88+ and in general may/should be a bit smoother under high GPU load.
- Improved cursor tracking. Fixes cursor flicker e.g. in AC:Valhalla/Odyssey.
- Cinema mode uses reduced lightmap sizes in 32-bit games that aren’t large address aware to squeeze out some extra GPU RAM for higher resolutions.
- DX9: Some rarely/never encountered StateBlock related stuff handled. Just in case.
- DX9: Hooking related changes that may improve hooking reliability in some cases.
- DX9: Generic 3D/Headset modes did not work on some AMD GPUs
- DX9: Fixed an issue that could cause games to hang on device creation.
- DX9: Fixed an issue that could cause games to crash on display mode change.
- DX9: Fixed an issue that could cause games to crash on load (e.g. GTA IV).
- DX9: Fixed an issue that could cause games to hang fullscreen (e.g. Splinter Cell 3).
- DX9: The start scene had some weird render glitches in ‘Generic VR headset’ mode.
- DX10: Potential exception on init (e.g. Crysis DX10)
- DX11: Support some rarely used DX11 features (e.g. WoW non-legacy DX11)
- DX11: Improved G3D performance, up to 300%! Don’t get too excited though, that is an outlier. Usually expect anything from 0%-15%.
- DX11: More efficient multithreading. Improves FPS in some games (e.g. Elex 2).
- DX11: Image was garbled in some games, e.g. ArmaA III (24.1.0 regression).
- DX11/12: Optimized shader bookkeeping. Can save >200 MB of RAM (e.g. HZD).
- DX12: More efficient resource bookkeeping. Up to 20% better FPS (e.g. Uncharted 4).
- DX12: Fix for hiccups/uneven FPS in some games (e.g. The Last of Us/Uncharted 4).
- DX12: display mode switching/window resizing failed for some games (e.g. Far Cry 6)
- DX12: various authoring hotkeys did not work.
- Tracking: The jump/crouch detection didn’t work correctly anymore.
- vorpX control: App could crash on startup (24.1.0 regression).
- vorpX control: App could crash after installing hook helpers.
- vorpX control: App could hang after running for a while.

@moderators: Could you please delete my three previous posts?
**How to center and shrink the minimap (and other HUD elements):**
1. Copy the
update.rpffile from your game’supdatefolder to themods\updatefolder. (You’ll need to create these directories if they don’t exist).
2. Use a tool like OpenIV or CodeWalker to open theupdate.rpffile that you just placed in yourmodsfolder.
3. Navigate tocommon\data\ui\and replace thefrontend.xmlfile with the one provided at this linkYou may need to adjust the minimap’s horizontal position if your in-game resolution is different from mine (1920×1440). To do this, edit the
frontend.xmlfile and look for the lines that begin with:*
<data name="minimap"
*<data name="minimap_mask"
*<data name="minimap_blur"Then, increase or decrease the three
posXvalues by the same amount to shift the position.I also recommend the “GTA 5 HUD Toggle” mod (bind F12 to down D-Pad to toggle the minimap)
Topic: AFR or DirectVR with AFR
hello,
i tested some games and i do not like Z3D. But in G3D games i have low frames because of my weak pc.
I have heard that vorpx supports AFR in CP77 and the Witcher 3, which is the best compromise to have lower quality G3D but it is playable with my weak PC
Can somebody give me a list of those games ?

I played GTA5 in the beta version.
Gestures were perfect for driving and shooting, but they had the following problems.・Even when I get out of the car, the viewpoint cannot be moved from the top of the car.
・Because the HUD size is 0.40, the GPS and route layers are displayed out of sync.
・Edge peek becomes impossible and a bug occurs where you take out your phone.I have high expectations for the future of vorpX.
In reply to: GTAV live action cutscenes stuttering
Anybody know how to fix the issue with stuttering on live action custcenes for GTAV.
Am using Generic 3D display, or Generic Headset to output the game, which i view on Virtual Desktop through my Quest 2.
I don’t think it’s an issue with VD or the Quest because the stuttering occurs on my PC screen too where it is displayed in SBS.
I am using the latest version of GTA withnthe latest GTA scripthook downloaded and placed in the game folder.
I have tried Cinematic Mode, and Immersive mode. The cutscenes don’t stutter when i am not injecting.
I have tried minimum graphics settings, and limiting the framerate with nvidia control panel, and turning on gsync. The fps is limited to 60, and game set to 60hz. I have tried various other graphics options in the game.
Thanks,

The industry is generally GARBAGE and too scared to try other formulas let alone trying something rather NEW and so we have dozens of GTAs, hundreds of CODs, thousands of FAR CRYs, millions of ASSASSINS CREEDs and billions of PUBGs.
The big/huge games companies are like this yes (Ubisoft, Bethesda, RockStar EA) but we have loads of great titles coming out too. These big companies don’t consider games as art, they don’t make to be fun, they make games that tick the most money-making boxes which formula will be the easiest to digest for most people.
Also, people always complain about UBI, but what is actually ROCKSTAR doing so great, besides releasing “GTA Games” every couple of years while improving graphics but sadly not the games, so then you have an open world game with great graphics but repetitive and boring gameplay.
Ubisoft are on a whole new level though. All Ubisoft open-world games are copied/pasted with terrible cohesiveness. They don’t introduce enough mechanics or variations of the same mechanic to fill an open world. FC6 is a perfect example, every single roadblock is exactly the same, the same number of guards, the same patrol routes, the same buildings, and the same rewards. The only difference is that the level designers just rotate the model slightly. RockStar at least put some effort into the filler content, I’m sure Ubisoft just pick the first 3 mechanics they like and then say stick 50 of those into the world, 100 of those, 30 of those. Done – ship it!
A good example of an open world done right (although not without some repetitiveness) would be Horizon (ZD & FW), and my personal favourite Days Gone. The world in Days Gone was much smaller than FC6 but each base was designed specifically for the location it is placed, FC6 just flattens the terrain and plonks the generic base there.
Ubisoft arent just repeating the formula, they are taking the formula and stretching it out to four times its sustainable size, then filling the gaps with repetitive garbage. The world would be better without them IMO.
/rant.
Regarding RDRII
You know, I really appreciated the visuals of that game, the detail of the environment, the thought they put into every single area. However, I could never get into it, it just didn’t click for me. I felt no connection to any of the characters except the horse, I finished because I wanted to finish what I had started, but after the first 4/5 hours I played only the main missions just so it would end sooner.
So INDIES are our only hope, forget those AAA franchises and companies, those titles take 180 hours to complete with 100%, but are actually fun for approx. 3 hours.
Again, I will agree with what you say here. The only difference for me is that sometimes I just want more of the same. If a game style clicks with me I want more of it. Obviously, I would like to see advancements in that formula such as better AI, better branching stories, and so on and so forth. Perhaps a procedural generation algorithm which can produce a meaningful world that can also contain an actual story, I mean we have AI that can produce a fairly decent short story now, surely we can integrate something like that to give us more gameplay in the same world/universe.
In reply to: Far Cry 4 is amazing in vr!
Ubisoft garbage.
Then you have to either look for a different hobby or do it like myself: Having dozens of games installed and switching between titles every couple of days, to have at least some variety.

Also, people always complain about UBI, but what is actually ROCKSTAR doing so great, besides releasing “GTA Games” every couple of years while improving graphics but sadly not the games, so then you have an open world game with great graphics but repetitive and boring gameplay. And yes, GTA V did something new and interesting with its 3-character-switching on the fly, but the missions were the same as boring and repetitive as GTA IV.
The last ROCKSTAR games i really had fun with was every GTA title besides GTA IV and V. RDRII wasn´t a game, it was a lame horse riding simulator with a better story and better characters than the actual game itself. But people obviously forgot about what “playing a game” actually means.
Regarding RDRII, thanks to VORPX i can really enjoy the title and also have fun with it while i can really say “great experience”, but without VORPX, i wouldn´t even bother with it.
Times when devs made videogames because they can make a living with doing what they love doing the most, are over. Today they make videogames to make lots of money and there is no time to bother with “new” stuff let alone someone would risk something, that are indie devs who actually try risky stuff.
So INDIES are our only hope, forget those AAA franchises and companies, those titles take 180 hours to complete with 100%, but are actually fun for approx. 3 hours.
