YES! That would be great, if we had more detailed information.

Just played that couple of days ago, and worked fine just like before, I too have problems with some games. Bioshock2 crashes quite fast on my computer, and getting black screen treatment on games like Risen but I have to try to troubleshoot these by disabling non essential software.

Hi guys. Just bought vorpx and tried with metro redux. It looks…. very bad.
Any game that looks great with vorpx?
Also , is there a way to separate a body movement from head movement?
I’m not a fan of aiming with my head.

I changed the Device to vive. I did not see this on my first few attempts at getting the vorpx software to work. I have 3 games to test. Far cry 3: Blood Dragon, Metro: Last Light and Arma 3.

No dice on any of them. I have gotten last light to load but my frames are 20 because I’m running on my monitor and headset at the same time….

I tried to enter the options to lower the graphics but the FOV was like 20 and I could not read or mouse over to any settings. It took me a while to even click over to options…

There are three things that you need to take care of once for each game:

1. Field Of View

You can get many games look almost perfect in this regard. And even for those that do not offer FOV control, neither directly, nor through vorpX, there are functions in vorpX to make them playable, although not always in a perfect way.

From best to worst here is what you can do:

1. Set the game FOV directly in the game if it provides to dial in an FOV of 120°.
2. Set the game FOV directly with the vorpX Game Settings Optimizer (vorpX config app) for games that support it.
3. Set the game FOV to 120 manually through an ini tweak or external tool (avaliable for many games, google FOV + game name).
4. Use the 3D FOV Enhancement in the vorpX ingame menu (availabe in Geometry 3D games).
5. Play the game in Virtual Cinema Mode (can be enabled in the vorpX ingame menu).
6. Use one of the letterbox aspect ratio modes in the vorpX ingame menu and/or ImageZoom.
7. Use the 2D FOV-Enhancement in the vopX ingame menu (be aware that this distorts the image).

It’s NOT woking ! I’m trying now for hours and hours to change the FOV setting and it still not working at all, game is ultra zoomed.

” Set the game FOV directly in the game if it provides to dial in an FOV of 120°. ”

=> Impossible on fallout 4, metro 2033 redux, metro last light redux

Set the game FOV directly with the vorpX Game Settings Optimizer (vorpX config app) for games that support it.

=> the same ! ” optimize setting ” for FOV = 120, then ” setting applied ” then ” apply ” then…. NO CHANGE in game !

All my games are original, on steam, and not modified. I paid 35 euros for something that is not working, you have no video of tutorial on your website… great !!

Hi, I also have this problem with most of my games, setting path not found. I think the only ones it hasn’t been working on are ones that store the configs in the steam folder. (ie fallout 4, dead space 3, bioshock infinite work fine and I know they use the docs folder, while Portal 2, Metro Last light redux, serious sam, talos principle, antichamber did not work.)

All software runs under the same account and level (ie user only, no admin use) although I did try running the config as admin to be sure, no folders redirects to network shares (home folders all default locations), tested games have all been run at least once.

Registry entries correctly point to steam folder:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam]
“SteamExe”=”d:/steam/steam.exe”
“SteamPath”=”d:/steam”

Running Windows 10, fairly clean and new install, rest of system is on C drive, only steam is on D drive, no issues with any other software that accesses configs or games folders without manual input.

If this is not fixable, couldn’t a simple option to export optimized game settings be added so you can replace the configs yourself?

Edit: Btw I am running the latest Beta version, with the Vive and so far after a lot of tweaking it has been working fine.

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.

Hm. Sometimes the games won’t even start, and other-times they will. Like it will say GTA V exe can’t be found, or Metro 2033 wont open, with an unknown error in steam. But as soon as I close Vorpx, they work. Very weird stuff.

I un-installed Skype, but was a no-go.

[mattli]

Yeah…. I can only get Skyrim to work, and that’s about it. Tried to get GTA V, Metro: Last Light and other games. Just doesn’t hook in at all… :S.

I did alot of the same stuff you did as well. I’m on the latest version of VORPX I believe, 0.9.1 beta.

Latest Nvidia Driver, with 3D off, tried with MalwareBytes off, tried launching GTA in diff compatibility modes. Running Windows 10 64bit, GTX 980 TI. Tried to run with Admin rights, but that seems to cause more issues.

[Ralf]

Gone Home: hooks correctly here (Win 10, Steam version), but then freezes when going into the actual game from the main menu. Might be related to Win 10, which seems to require to run the game windowed to work at all here with or without vorpX. Will be looked into.

Metro 2033 Redux: works fine here (also Steam version). May have to be run in safe mode on some machines if I remember earlier reports correctly. If you also have the Non-Redux version of the game, using that is generally perferable BTW as it offers Geometry 3D when run in DX9 mode.

HL2: When support for HL2 was done, there was no VR mode. Besides that it still makes a lot of sense for stand alone mods like Black Mesa. Personally I like the way vorpX does it better BTW, but that’s almost certainly a minority vote.

In general: if you have problems with multiple games not hooking at all, please check the trouble shooting guide in the help. The most likely cause of this is some other program on your machine that creates a conflict with vorpX.

You can also try to create a special vorpX desktop shortcut to a game’s main .exe (right click the tray icon, choose “Create Destop Shortcut”), which sometimes works more reliable than the normal hooking. Doesn’t help with most Steam games unfortunately, but would be an option for the Metro 2033 GOG version for example.

I finally built a powerful computer and am getting back into Rift experimentation. I installed VorpX 0.9.1 in conjunction with Rift SDK 0.8.0.

I then reviewed the official VorpX ‘supported games’ list and tried the first three games in my Steam library that are listed on the VorpX site. The results were disappointing.

– Gone Home: Rift will not come on at all.
– Metro 2033 Redux: Rift will not come on at all.
– HL2: Rift comes on and VorpX is enabled (but presumably worse experience than the native VR now included).

My question is, do the first two games listed above simply not work with VorpX? If not, why are they featured on the Supported Games list?

If 2/3 of the listed games I tried do not work on VorpX, how many others on that list should I avoid?

Otherwise, any suggestions on how to get the first two listed to work with VorpX?

Specs: Windows 10 64-bit, GTX 980 TI, 32GB RAM, Intel 4970k, SSD.

@Ralf:

Although Vorpx hadn’t been sandboxed I think some windows files had and that seems to be the cause. It’s stopped corrupting now.

Still don’t know why vorpx isn’t setting the FOV on games using the optimiser. It’s saying it has but not reflected in the game. I’m setting FOV manually at the moment.

@adisplinter

IPD really made a difference with Metro LL but I didn’t realise the FOV wasn’t being set in other games like Arma 3 and Crysis 3. Can only go so far using the vorpx FOV/image zoom so I have to manually edit the FOV for these games. Arma 3 looks correct since manually editing FOV to 120.

My IPD of 67 I got via my Oculus rift profile (after doing the calibration.

Serious Sam 3 looks great on vorpx.

[feathers632]

Yes and the vorpx optimiser has been taking effect. It worked for Dishonored for example so I know that’s not the issue. Because metro LL was still so zoomed I tried going more extreme with the FOV from user.cfg. That didn’t help. Using vorpx image zoom and increasing vorpx FOV helped a bit but still not enough for correct image.

I think the IPD was wrong for my eyes. Surely the IPD can’t be correct for everyone or else you wouldn’t have adjustment for it in game?

:)

[Ralf]

For Metro you shouldn’t even need to touch the image zoom.

Normally it should be possible to use the vorpX Game Optimizer (maybe plus image zoom for minor adjustment). If that fails, you can however set it in an ini file.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=german&id=171711333

You will have to experiment with the actual value. It may also be different for the Redux version of the game. Use Google in this case (Metro Redux FOV).

If setting the value via the correct ini fails, something is severely wrong on your setup.

[feathers632]

But I was using a combination of modded FOV to 120 and vorpx FOV and image zoom last night. I zoomed out to the point where I could see the bars at top/bottom. The only way metro looked correct in zoom was when Mouse M peek was used or in cinema mode.

So why do you have IPD calibration in vorpx in-game menu if it’s not a factor in setting up correct image?

I tried all the steps u listed and FOV still too zoomed for metro LL. Dishonored looked much better with the steps but not Metro.

I think the default IPD is fine for most eyes but I guess not mine.
