Thanks for the reply but I still cant get Mirrors Edge to be recognized by vorpX. It just boots up normally no matter how I launch the game. Every other supported game works fine for me.
Sometimes you simply have to try again. Usually two or three times should suffice though.
You can also create special vorpX shortcuts, that hook a game in another and more reliable way. Right-click the vorpX tray icon and select “Create Desktop Shortcut”, then select the .exe you want to start. This will create a shortcut on the desktop, as the menu entry title suggests. ;)
While using these shortcuts it might make sense to pause the ‘watcher’, also via the right click menu of the tray icon.
Unfortunately these shortcuts do not work well with many Steam games, but it’s always worth a try.
Metro is working now (I have no idea why) but it lacks any 3D.
Mirrors Edge ist still not beign recognized by VorpX.
Everything works fine except Mirror’s Edge and Metro Last Light. Its as if i would start them without VorpX – No Stereo image or headtracking. I also tried to start the games directly from their directory.
This looks like AN AMAZING experience to get with the Rift, and got awesome reviews
Ralf, any chance of seeing this game supported in Vorpx???

Morrowind, Skyrim, and definitely Fallout3 /NV. I think these open world exploration type games will work great. Atleast I really hope so. Just hanging out in a tavern in Skyrim or some hole in the wall in Fallout seems like it’ll be fun.
Haven’t played Metro but I think it’s one of those games I will probably play if the VR experience is great. I heard it’s a pretty tense game.
So now MTBS post has gone we only know of a few games supported. Which ones are you most excited about playing.
For me (and I think Palmer Lucky said it was his too) its easily Fallout 3! I’m so looking forward to replaying that game again!
I think the second game is Metro 2033 because I haven’t played it yet so it would be pretty cool playing that game in VR first time round.
Besides the ones mentioned in the original post there are for example Mass Effect 2+3, Flight Simulator X, Race Driver Grid (no headtracking for now), Far Cry, Half-Life 2, Metro 2033, rFactor, …
A detailed list with all games that have full 3D-support will be made available before launch. There is something for everyone, or at least I hope so, a good mix of older and newer games from many genres.
And even if your favorite game isn’t among the ~50 with full 3D-support, there is a high chance that it will run without stereoscopic 3D, but everything else.
If you have any wishes, please post them here. I’m always open to suggestions, just don’t be disappointed if your wish isn’t included in the first release. The day only has so many hours. :)
