Please check wehether you maybe accidentally disabled automatic settings in the config app. With the original Metro Exodus vorpX will set up everything automatically. Having automatic settings enabled is important for many official profiles to ensure you don’t need to tinker to get things working.

Ive installed the standard version (not the enhanced edition). It doesnt work, any changes I should do to settings somewhere?

“Enhanced” Edition doesn’t have G3D (but it can be played in full VR with an unofficial profile, even if I would recommand Standard DX12 instead if you want to play with Z3D and raytracing, because it’s very beautiful & optimized, you don’t have Depht of Field / blur and you can switch to G3D when you want – which is much better indoors).

There are details here :

Is Metro Exodus Enhanced working for anybody?

They don’t behave the same way at all so maybe you did something wrong.

In your case, if you just want 3D, given Z3D DX12 profile isn’t very powerful, you really have to use the Standard edition with the official profile to get G3D (you don’t have to import/apply anything, it works by default), and you must specify DX11 in the game’s option before using VorpX (so launch it in flat at least once in order to change video settings).

Hi, I would really like to play **Metro Exodus** using the G3D DX11 profile, but it’s not working. I’ve tried reinstalling it, but that didn’t help. Can someone please assist?

This is a great title, and since it’s listed as working with the default G3D profile, it would be nice to get it running properly.

I am using a generic 3D display config, and I tested it with another game, Fallout: New Vegas, which worked fine. BTW Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition has the same problem.

There is already a topic with a lot of them :

Geometry VR Game List.

You can check engines&games here :
https://rjkole.com/gamestuff/engines/index.php

Or looking for the game on the forum.

Or just trying it (the only way to be sure).

From my personnal experience, best profiles are :
Originals Bioshock 1&2&Infinite
Originals Metro (I tried 2033 it has perfect G3D and 6dof) and Redux versions (I tried Last Light Redux and it was perfect but I recommand a top end graphic card with this Redux version, without even knowing if it’s better than standard)
The ascent (and some others Unreal Engine 4 games) works well.
Black Mesa (&Xen), probably Portal and Dark Messiah.
People say Dishonored, Titanfall 2, F.E.A.R, Mirror’s Edge, Fallout 3, etc. works well.
Probably Clive Barker’s Jericho & Undying too.
Originals Stalker works with good G3D but without adavanced lighting (DX9 only).

Kingdom Come Deliverance, Metro Exodus and Farcry Primal works well enough (and so probably Cry Engine games like Prey 2017 / Crysis 1-3, and Snowdrop Engine games like Facry 2-5)

Even if concerning Metro Exodus, I prefer Z3D during most of the game (except bunkers&spiders which are great in G3D) in order to have raytracing, at least on Reverb G2 (no compression, so it’s stunning).

Some Z3D profiles are very close to G3D (Atomic Heart, Frontier Of Pandora, Unreal Engine 5 games seems to work great from my experience).

I may be wrong, but I think most DX9 games probably have perfect G3D, and some DX11 games too.

And because it was the title of the topic : I think on my hardware (RTX4090) it’s more impressive than Cyberpunk 2077 (the last time I tried a few years ago at least), like a lot of other games.

It’s true G3D, with rich outdoors environments and detailed giant and hairy mammoths ! ;)

Not as beautiful as Frontier Of Pandora or Metro Exodus, but it’s still something to experience (if you like 3dof VR as I do)

[Boblekobold]

I just tried the official profile with V24 (I wanted to do it for years and someone just posted about it).

The beginning with the mammoths was very impressive, as expected :)

I played in Full VR G3D with 3840×2880 4:3 resolution and max graphics. 100° (/120°) FOV in the game’s settings (on Reverb G2) and I used this mod to set the weapon FOV to 110° :
https://www.nexusmods.com/farcryprimal/mods/21?tab=description

No problem to hook, even with Virtual Monitor. It worked instantly.

Z3D worked for me when I relaunched the game (not the first time). It’s not the best Z3D I have seen in Vorpx, neither the worse.
G3D is great, but I have indeed shadows glitches in a lot of areas and I agree it hurts eyes a bit sometimes (maybe I could get used to it but a fix would be great).
You can disable G3D shadows in VorpX’s menu (and lower gamma in this case), and it seems to work perfectly but it’s also a bit less beautiful.

Using the lowest shadow parameter (in game’s settings) doesn’t affect graphics a lot (trust me, I usually don’t lower graphics) and it solves most of the G3D shadows problems (at least they are a lot less noticeable). These are probably the most beautiful and impressive settings I tried (but it’s a bit less comfortable than perfect profiles like Bioshock, Metro 2033, etc.)
A G3D shadow fix would still be great (but I guess it’s hard to do).

I would recommand switching between options (you can do it instantly) depending on the area / situation.

I disabled most “auto” options and played with high resolution so maybe I broke something and it’s possible to get a better result.

I was able to resize HUD in both Z3D and G3D modes (at least after switching to Z3D one time). I used max ClarityFX, sharpness and texture enhancement (and low gamma) in VorpX.

Too bad I already finished this wonderful game years ago and I lack spare time, but it’s quite incredible in VR.

Hi, I’m getting back to using Vorpx with XReal Pro glasses, and I’ve noticed that most games don’t work. I’ve tried Far Cry Primal and Metro Exodus, but they don’t seem to be compatible.

@Ralph,
Thanks but I don’t use Pimax foveated rendering nor gpu scaling.
And yes I’m using Vorpx desktop viewer with virtual monitor activated.
In virtual monitor settings I ticked “add predifined resolutions above 4k” and even add a custom 2880×2800 resolution.
But ingame settings didn’t show any of those above 4k resolutions and putting game settings to nicer or ultra doesn’t change the resolution of the game.
How do I change game resolution with Vorpx overlay? And how do I know which resolution is the game rendering?
It would be nice to have a slider resolution like in other VR mods (UEVR or Luke Ross etc)

Other thing is when I use the VR detection from Vorpx in Metro, my view in headset is not free like it should in VR, I had this in other game and had to sxitch Vr memory off in Vorpx to get the normal free view but it doesn’t work with Metro Exodus…

[chtiblue]

Hi Ralph,
Having a Pimax Light and soon a Pimax Air Dream, I appreciate the Virtual monitor with higher custom resolutions but I can’t make make it proper work.
Where canI see and how do I choose a specific custom high resolution (or even the predifined above 4k res)?
For example in Metro Exodus, in game’s vorpx overlay I only see nice/ultra game settings but it changes nothing in game, it always looks low res. Only way I found is disable desktop viewer to use my 4k tv res 2160p, but I want to go higher & 1:1 resolution
Cheers

26/01/13 | vorpX 25.1.5 has been released

Another maintenance update. Addresses a couple of input glitches, comes with a rewritten host-exit that better handles exit crashes with Meta’s OpenXR since a recent Meta Link update, makes alternative hooking usable for more games, fixes a rare DX9 issue, has a bunch of profile fixes/updates and more.

Click here for a list of noteworthy changes

• vorpX: keys wrongly blocked in some DirectInput games (e.g. Fallout 3/NV).
• vorpX: the tracking center hotkey also ensures foreground and input focus.
• vorpX: ALT+TAB and back could occasionally confuse key state tracking.
• vorpX: fixed cursor clipping in some older games (e.g. Metro 2033).
• vorpX: headset audio device switching did not work anymore.
• vorpX: D3D9: better unhooked surfaces handling, e.g. Venetica ALT+TAB crash.
• vorpX: improved host exit, cleaner in various games and with Meta OpenXR.
• vorpControl: folder exclude handles symlinks (e.g. latest EA Desktop).
• vorpControl: minimize runtime windows option supports latest Quest Link.
• vorpControl: alternative hooking working for more games.
• Cyberpunk 2077: improved sync between mod-portion and vorpX.
• Tron 2.0: .ini changes weren’t applied anymore since a while.
• Dishonored 2: scalable HUD added.
• Dragon Age Origins: deal with GOG version 2-core lock.
• Dragon Age II: deal with GOG version 2-core lock.
• Farming Simulator 25: Fixed a Z3D issue related to vehicle mirror count.

Now I understand! If you zoom into the scenery, you loose pixels (that you do not see anymore). So basically you look through a small window and thus view the game at a lower resolution. Sure, you can compensate that with a higher monitor resolution so that in the end the portion of the screen that you actually see matches the headset resolution.

It’s a little bit complicated.

More details are computed by some games (it depends on the game engine, graphics settings, etc.) if the resolution is higher.

Some games even have an option to compute at higher resolution and rescale it to your resolution (like Metro Last Light Redux), and you can use it with an even higher resolution using VorpX, so it’s even better (it actually works very well !)

You can see every details miles around in a lot of games but objects close to you are also usually more beautiful.

It was especially true with recent games like Metro Exodus (in Z3D mode) or Frontier of Pandora which benefits from ultra high resolution (3840p).

Most of the time, it’s hard to use more than 2880p with G3D, and anyway it doesn’t seem necessary to get a perfect result, at least with official profiles (DX9 games like Bioshock 1&2 originals and some DX11 games are particularly impressive from my experience). Besides, you have an additional option in G3D games to enhance textures.

I also noticed full VR display mode is usually less clear&sharp than Immersive Screen, so you need a bit higher resolution to achieve the same result (when it’s possible).

So you need a very good computer to get the maximum from your G2 with demanding games, but it worth it. Anyway, I used 1440p immersive screen too with my GTX1080 and I already loved it. You probably can experience 2160p or even 2880p G3D full VR with some older games like original Bioshock 1 (or even Bioshock Infinite).

Too bad that (I think) the size of this window cannot be determined.

You’ll get used to it. I usually use more or less always the same FOV value (with 4:3 ratio), and adjust zoom without even thinking about it. The size of the window doesn’t matter. The important thing is to adjust the FOV to maximize immersion and minimize distortions (while the sweetspot can be bothering in some cases like strategy games, the G2 is great to play FPS in Full VR mode because you don’t really have visible distortions compared to other VR headsets like Quest 3 or Aero and 3D works very well).

[Cer]

using headtracking with Immersive Screen also provides you more range to look around you.

Yes, that is what I do. But picture moves only a bit, I think I have factor 0.5. By moving the head a bit I see more of the game but still don’t see the left and right edge in wide imersive screen mode.

In my opinion, VorpX isn’t meant to simply be a giant 3D monitor. When the game’s design has a good compatibility with VR (3D engine, not too much UI or not at the edge of the screen, high FOV available, first person or third person very close to it), it’s magic ;)

Yes, but is a very good 2nd use which I use more often than the 1st use case.

You probably know it, but you can hook with the Virtual Monitor (at least with the right version of VorpX like V23, V24 and V25) if the game has a profile. VorpX should create a default profile if there is not.

Correct, but there is no official profile and the user made one doesn’t give any 3D effect. No idead why, as DirectX12 game it should work with Z3D, but it looks flat regardless what settings I tweaked. Hence I use VorpX as giant screen in SBS mode, which gives a perfect 3D picture.

A solution may be to :
– configure the game in windowed mode (so it won’t have any reason to use the default res or the physical monitor resolution).

Tried this, didn’t made a difference. Hence I initialy thought it must be a virtual monitor issue.

I used this method on Metro 2033 (Original) to get 3840×2880 resolution with 4:3 ratio.

I am not sure if a resolution higher that the headset resolution will have any benefit. At least you need a system that can handle this or will have to downgrade some grafic options. But here we go off topic.
