Ralf: firstly, take a break for now for the Christmas season. When you’re well rested…maybe you have some suggestions concerning this. I’m not sure if I’m the only one but I have never been able to get the Metro 2033 series of games running properly in vorpx…ever. Even the latest 17.3.0 still doesn’t work for my installation.

I’ve done a clean steam install of Last light and for the life of me cannot get it to look right. It’s definitely something to do with the FOV, but I was expecting 17.3.0 to take care of that. Also, since the new update…Metro 2033 redux just crashes part way through the beginning when it takes you through the tunnel before it gets to the end where you select to start, continue game or set options.

In Last light everything looks warped and un-natural when inside the game using full VR. As vorpx writes it’s own configuration to each game. Could it be that the config files aren’t getting written to the game in this instance? Stumped. Suggestions? No rush though.

Not all games support all Direct VR functions. You can see what is available in a game on top of the Direct VR page in the vorpX menu. It lists what is available or not.

Head tracking in Metro should be almost as good as Direct VR head tracking though normally unless you changed the mouse sensitivity in the game. if you did, you can adjust the head tracking sensitivity in the vorpX menu accordingly to get 1:1 tracking.

[Ralf]

There is no Direct VR head tracking for this game, only Direct VR FOV like mentioned in the changelog. The FOV is applied fully automatically on first start without you having to do anything. No scanner in Metro Redux.

You can check whether vorpX was able to find the ini file in the vorpX config app. If you see an entry on the “Restore Game Settings” page for Metro Redux, vorpX was able to find the ini and changed the FOV. If not, something went wrong. In that case please first check that you don’t use an ‘unofficial’ version of the game. Those sometimes store settings in other places than official versions. In such a case I cannot help.

If you use an official version and there is no entry on the “Restore Game Settings” page, please let me know what version exactly you use (Steam/GOG etc.) and I’ll look into it.

Ralf, so on the Vorpx in-game menu Direct VR page it says ‘Head tracking rotation’ and ‘Head tracking position’ unavailable. I have head tracking enabled, as well as position btw. Oddly, the menu item, and Alt-L Direct VR scan function still exists for Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim. Metro 2033 plays like those games before the scan, not playable in full VR mode.

[Ralf]

The Direct VR FOV is automatically applied in the config file for Metro Redux, no need to run the scanner. You should have seen a message about that when you started the game for the first and/or second time with vorpX 17.3.0.

Hi Ralf,

Just loaded the new Vorpx, trying out the profile for Metro 2033 based on the release notes:

– Metro 2033 Redux: G3D/Z3D, full VR, Direct VR: FOV, resolution, tweaks

However, I cannot get Direct VR to run with Alt-L, nor do I see an option in the Vorpx in-game menu. Did the release include this feature for Metro 2033 Redux?

Thanks,
Satya

I was recently testing Metro 2033 original version with dx9 and G3D on Oculus Cv1, and I would like to ask a couple of questions, about Vorpx and this game.
Currently Metro 2033 original is a game (NO-DirectVR), at the moment.

I do not know very well its graphical engine, but it contains 2 .ini files after running for the first time, and these allow to change FOV, resolution, and eliminate some annoying things in VR, both files must be saved and probably protected against writing.
https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Metro_2033
I got very good results after some changes, but I need to solve two important issues.

Issue 1: The light from our flashlight is too wide and strong, this causes a strong glare in the headset lens. It is too annoying honestly.
Ok,press and repeat press on (F key), simply turn the flashlight on and off,but also,this flashlight is charged in battery every so often manually during our game. Pressing and hold (F key) and click mouse button 1, we get to recharge it, but the light increases causing big glare problems with headset.

This leads me to think, perhaps, there is some modifier, which I do not know to reduce its intensity, or maybe Ralf can fix this annoying lighting effect for the next version?

Issue 2: aiming with some weapons, it is quite complicated even with positional tracking, due to a large zoom, too close or closed.
This could be improved by modifying the weapon’s zoom value during aiming,
but I do not know if we can do it or introduce a line to solve this.

I literally love this game, and still much more with Vorpx and G3D, because its immersion multiplies even more. It is a unique experience if you appreciate it, accompanied by several factors such as narration, history, exploration, stealth, action moments within a post-apocalyptic universe where the world has to survive within the Meters, and face the dangers in and on the surface.
This game contains translation and dubbing of voices in many languages, which is good for a better VR experience.

I would like to see a Full DirectVR support, with some memory fixes if necessary, to continue enjoying this experience and for any user to experience this experience without too many configuration problems with the current headset.
Probably same solutions can be covered, to the second part of this franchise, Metro Last Light.

In the meantime if Ralf or any user knows a way to solve these 2 problems manually, he has my thanks.
regards.

It even got better in the meantime. Since my original post the new settings optimizer learned to auto-set a resolution based on what individual games allow and a user’s system supports.

While quite useful for almost any game with an optimizer profile, that is especially great for some games that allow unusual custom aspect ratios without glitches (e.g. Skyrim, Battlefield 4/1, Metro Redux). Significant image quality/performance gains through VR-headset optimized resolutions in such cases without having to deal with .ini edits or similar things. Everything just happens.

I am running Metro last light. It runs fine then suddenly it gives an error
injection failed. Unable to hook avgui.exe
please solve my issue

I too have enjoyed Skyrim, Fallout4, BioShock Infinate, and Metro LL, but recently I’ve been playing a lot of:

– Battlefield 1 onilne
– Star Wars Battlefront 2015 online
– theHunter Call of the Wild (Assassins Creed Unity profile)

All 3 have in game FOV adjustment and good Z3D. And I’ve been playing online without a problem, no ban or disconnect.

I’ve noticed I end up choosing Z3D over G3D almost everytime, due to its agreeable shadows and faster performance – which means I can crank up the resolution and max the eyecandy.

p.s. As of a few weeks ago an update to Dying Light has unlocked native VR support again via quick file edit. It’s not perfect, but fun to check out.

Hi.

Have anyone tried to set up Vorpx with these games? And how did they fell/run with a oculus cv1?

Metro 2033
Metro Last light
Arma 3
World of warcraft

I can only find a few topics about these titles from well over a year ago, and they are not really what im looking for.

[Hellbred]

Every time I launch Metro 2033 Redux, the game crashes immediately. I’ve tried messing with some settings but everything results in the same outcome. Any help?

So far other games work fine, just not Metro Redux.
