Ok for me it seems to have helped to set the systemsettings to ONLY show the screen in the rift -don’t know why that is. also it crashed again when my AntiVirus Scanner was doing a scan in the background and steam was installing another game so maybe its some problem with CPU usage? Anyway if Mord people still habe problems linke this maybe this helps you too.

@ralf : thanks for the fast reply. Portal 2 works Awesome! really great work alone for that vorpx was worth the price !

Unfortunately there still seems to be an issue for some with Portal 2 that is completely impossible to reproduce here. Not on a single machine. I am aware that this doesn’t help you at all, but in most cases the game works fine.

Since the issue isn’t reproducible here, it’s also not possible to begin searching for a fix.

I’m having this problem with Portal 2, I believe it’s because I installed and tried SteamVR :-/ now I can play it on the Rift just fine if I turn off vorpX, but I want to try with vorpX so I get head tracking. Anyone has an idea how to turn off SteamVR? I find the option in the config for Half Life, but not for Portal 2.

same here, I just bought Vorpx and can’t get Portal 2 running either, it crashes right after the game starts.

Anyone have advice on settings? Other games, like Outlast, work just fine for me with Vorpx, but not this one.

What the title states, vorpx simply wont run at all in game. Im running a q9550 with a gtx 660ti and 12gb ram, so more than sufficient hardware. I’ve tried reinstalling vorpx numerous times with restarting my computer. I’ve disabled all programs that may even have the slightest chance to conflict with it (hooks, antiviruses, etc). I’ve followed everything on the basic troubleshooting. I’ve been testing between 4 games: Portal 2, Skyrim, Dirt 3, and ArmA 3. Not one have showed what apparently is a red vorpx overlay, they just start normally. Hitting DEL does nothing whatsoever…

Now does anyone have any clue to even (bare bones) just starting this?

As far as I see it, I’ve wasted $40 on this garbage…

Hi Cron,

vorpX is devoloped constantly. If you bought it roughly a month ago, it might even be that you don’t have the current version installed. Normally updates are installed automatically, but if the auto update fails for you, you can always use your original installer to install the latest version. The next update is due in a few days, probably before Christmas, version 1.0 will be reached around the time the consumer Rift is available.

There seems to be an issue with Portal 2 that apparently affects about 10% of all machines. Unfortunately we cannot reproduce this issue here so far, but since Portal 2 is quite popular this is under constant investigation.

In case you haven’t done so before, please check the steps mentioned in the trouble shooting guide above, maybe it contains something useful for your problems. Refunds are not possible after a month of usage, I hope that’s understandable. Also please keep in mind that there are no guarantees regarding unsupported games.

Hope that helps.

I got Vorpx about a month ago and I’m having serious concerns about the progress of this application. I haven’t seen ANY news on an upcoming update and I can only play half of my Steam games! I only have like 8 games too, and I can’t even play Portal 2, which is advertised to work! I even created a Vorpx shortcut for Portal 2 to get it working, yet it will only crash after 2 minutes of gameplay. Is this program going to be coming out of beta, or am I going to have to fight for a refund? I feel robbed.

I was not able to run Portal 2 with VorpX.

I used Vireio instead.

I’ve noticed that Portal 2 kills the active VorpX task every time it starts up in non-VorpX mode (i.e. non-binocular).

[LegoKnockingShop]

I’ve had plenty of success with VorpX but, even though it’s listed as having full 3D driver support on the VorpX main page, I’ve never once had any luck in getting Portal 2 to run up with VorpX.

I’ve tried launching without Steam overlay, disabling anti virus, etc, just always starts up in normal (non-VorpX) mode – has anyone had any luck getting this working yet? I’m guessing by it’s popularity as a game and it’s non-presence on this list that it works okay for everyone?

[anaussie]

I can reproduce it 100% of the time here. Is there any information that you want me to gather that may help getting it working? I’m not sure if it matters, but I’m using the motion pack version of portal 2 (i.e. the razer hydra version)

[Ralf]

An in-game crash in Portal 2 never was reproducible here unfortunately. Neither with the first release version nor with the latest.

[anaussie]

Thanks Ralf. I look forward to the next update.

Just one more question – I can’t get vorpx working with portal 2. I’ve disabled steam overlay, and use the shortcut method. The game loads but then crashes after the loading menu. Has there been any progress on this? Portal 2 would be awesome in the rift!

I had the same problem ( 30 second crash ) on both Portal 2 and Bioshock. Yesterday my wife was out for the night and I got a huge urge to play Bioshock. Since i’ve been trying everything possible to make it work with vorpx for the last few weeks , I decided to get a cracked version of the game ( feeling less guilty since I bought it on steam) And it worked , I played a few hours without any crashes. Dont know if this info can help you Ralf but I felt like sharing it.

We need 3d for Outlast now and the world will be perfect.

I’m having the exact same problem. Every since I installed Vorpx, Steam games that are expected to hook with Vorpx crash at the launcher or barely into the game.
This includes:
Bioshock Infinite
Skyrim
Portal 2

Other steam games work fine (i.e. XCOM, Dawn of War 2 – anything not advertised as compatible with Vorpx). I’ve completely uninstalled Vorpx and I still get the crashing. Anyone have any ideas?
