Playing Black Mesa with a ‘normal’ monitor FOV currently messes up the image due the DirectVR weapon handling, which moves the weapon out of sight in VR mode. At lower-than-VR-FOV it currently totally messes up the image though. Has been taken care of for the next build already, for now please switch to ‘Generic HMD’ temporarily and turn off automatic weapon handling on the DirectVR page of the menu. Then switch back to ‘Generic 3D Display’.

That aside:

Like the message that gets displayed on each launch in SBS3D mode says, vorpX is made for VR primarily. SBS 3D was added on request and is not officially supoprted. Any potential expert settings are purely VR related, there aren’t any expert settingd for SBS 3D mode.

Hi,
I started to use Viture One glasses with the “Generic Display” mode of Vorpx.
I started “Black Mesa” and selected a 4:3 resolution and had G3D, but the FOV is far too wide and after a couple of seconds the picture kind of zoomed in and stayed that way… weird! (I didn’t do anything to zoom in!)
Then I went into the in-game settings of Vorpx and whenever I change a setting, the picture zooms out again, until I close the settings menu – a couple seconds later the weird zoom kicks in again.
Also, I enabled the checkbox “Expert settings” in the config app, but in-game there are no expert settings in the menu! What?? Are they disabled for “Generic Display”??
Now I’m stuck, because the game is unplayable like that.
Anybody using Side-by-Side glasses who can help me?
Help please!

hello , i recently switched to the latest beta and i love it

wanted to ask about virtual monitor

1- is it possible to map a shortcut to swat between mono and SBS

2- is it possible to enable headset movement to control the mouse

i hope i get an answer ,thank you for the hard work

If the glasses can handle standard SBS 3D, they should work with vorpX.

If I hook up my Viture One Glasses to my PC via display port and use the glasses as my monitor, can I run games through Vorpx to the glasses to play games in 3d on a virtual monitor? The glasses support sbs 3d. I want to play games that don’t have a native sbs option. I want to play the games I currently play on my VR hmd on my viture on glasses in 3d on a big virtual monitor.

Thanks!

VorpX desktop viewer allows you to do things that aren’t possible with Oculus or Steam Desktop.

For example, you can view SBS (side by side) or OU (over/under) stereoscopic content, or stream games that output SBS stereo3D (native or through extra software). For the latter, the new v24 supposedly has better performance and a virtual flat monitor for avoiding sync problems, although i still have yet to install it and test for myself.

I know that Vorpx is primarily for VR support but i have a 3D TV that i use to play a lot of my games.

I am currently using the 24.1.0 version and i am able to get the SBS screen mode working but both pictures appear to be the same so there is no 3D effect.

Does anyone know how to get this working correctly? Or has the support for 3D TVs been completely removed now?

Usually renaming works, I’m surprised.
You could play without profile with Desktop Viewer (disable watcher).
Maybe there is a way to use reshade SBS + VorpX.

Just a quick info: I “solved” my issues now by adding the SBS-game to the vorpx exclude list. This way no hooking occurs and I don’t have to remember to pause the watcher. Then I stopped using the virtual monitor as my desktop monitor happens to have the resolution I want in the headset. So no more changing of the monitor settings.
Still I would like to have profiles for virtual desktop games as outlined before. But I see now that I made a mistake by believing that my use case is what virtual desktop and monitor was made for. Anyway good that it is possible in some way.

Hi Ralf,
thank you for the answer, but I wasn’t complaining about auto-disabling of the real monitor. I just wanted to point out there can be a situation leaving you without any monitor.
Maybe you can read my post again and check every point as I think they are all valid, but maybe misunderstood. Don’t get me wrong, I just want to help make this great pice of software even better.

For example “hooking while the desktop viewer is active are intended” is sure a good feature if you are going to play games “made” for vorpx, but it doesn’t work for games that should run natively in SBS or just flat on a big screen. Since the desktop viewer supports both, it should work. Well, it does work but not as comfortable as I would like. Why not supporting this by having a profile that tells the hooker not to hook? And going further this way, why not have a profile that switches on the desktop viewer and activates the virtual monitor for me?

What I cannot agree with (or maybe just don’t understand) is, that there is “No need to fiddle with custom resolutions ever again”. How can the virtual monitor know what resolution I want to look at? Even in vorpx supported games I manually choose the resolution depending on the performance of the game, how good the game supports wide screens and if I am playing in imersive or not. I already missed a possibility to define a resolution per game (e.g. as local extended profile setting) before I discovered the virtual monitor.

About the “head tracking issue”: I found 2 settings. One to switch it on and one for sensitivity. I tried for quite some time but couldn’t make it work.

I use my Quest 3 in a similar way and reading this i’m glad i haven’t updated yet. I watch SBS streams with another app currently.

Thus i join in on Cer’s suggestion for the desktop viewer and the virtual monitor. Those make perfect sense to me and would help reduce the friction.

I tried the new version and in principle it works and I can play my game, BUT I have some points with it:

When right clicking on the icon in the taskbar I can start desktop viewer and also enable virtual monitor. When I then right cklick again the text stays the same but works in opposite direction. So “start desktop viewer” will stop it and “enable monitor” but will disable it.
=> Please adapt the texts

I configured the monitor to only start manual, not by headset. I start desktop viewer and enable virtual monitor using my desktop monitor. When doing so, the desktop monitor goes black. Now I have forgotten to switch on my headset and have no monitor at all and no way to reactivate the desktop monitor. I had to hard reset the PC.
=> Please add some kind of reset hotkey

When done everything right I start a game with SBS output and … get error messages because vorpx has problems hooking to the game :( I have to click away several error boxes, close the game and “Pause the watcher” before I try again.
=> Please just don’t hook to any game when desktop viewer is on (or does this combination is usefull in some way?)

Now virtual montior always start in some recomended resolution that probably matches my headset resolution. But I want a different one with 21:9 picture. I always have to change that in the display settings
=> Please remember the last display settings

Another anoyance is that I need to see the desktop in “normal” mode why the game runs in SBS. I always have to switch forth and back. Therfore my overall wish would be a profile for desktop viewer. Maybe just a desktop mode option in the regular profiles. So when I start a game from my desktop monitor and vorpx is active, it would automatically start the viewer, enable the virtual monitor in a specified resolution and switch to SBS. If I exit the game, all should be undone.
Alternative would be an extra profile that is only checked (by the watcher) when desktop viewer is active.

Thanks for reading!
