This can be run in stereoscopic mode in Desktop theater.
1. In configure VORPX ROTTR.exe needs to be added to the Excluded Programs, else it will try to do 3d reconstruction without a Side by side viewing option.
2. Enable steam overlay and Use desktop theater both need to be disabled in the steam options.
3. Tombraider options need to be set to fullscreen ON, exclusive fullscreen OFF, Enable Dx12 OFF, Stereoscopic 3D SBS.
4. Then after launching the game press DEL and in VORPX image settings set content type to SBS.
OR
– fire up VirtualDesktop
– run game in SBS with DX12 bells and all whistles
– done

I’m playing 3D videos in fullscreen on my desktop which i watch in 3D by starting the desktop viewer and enabling the SBS mode. After 15~45 minutes (on the first time) the picture freezes and locks onto screen, then turns to black and when waiting half a minute, oculus home reappears. On the desktop, you see oculus restarting but vorpX must be manually shutdown completely before it works again. This is the best case scenario, in the worst case the PC locks up completely and needs to be hard resettet. Sometimes, you can see unicolored (red, blue, green) artefacts appearing a few frames before the image freezes.
When i restart vorpX after that, the next crash happens way sooner, usually in less than 5 minutes. I would have guessed that my GPU heats up and then starts to fail but vorpX is the only application where i can observe this behavior, for example, i can play eagle flight for 3 hours straight and nothing bad happens.
Anything i can provide for further troubleshooting?
If we could get a development version that doesn’t require an Oculus Rift or specialized equipment so we can just launch, hook, and output directly to the 1080p monitor in SBS 3D mode we can implement our own headtracking in due time once gyro management is sorted out better. Anyone that has this to working with an older version of VORPX in extended mode at all without having the Oculus runtime and hardware installed? – comment/discuss lets get traction.
Is there anyway to get nvidia 3D vision games to display in a virtual 3D desktop mode on the Rift?
What about games such as Trine 3 that even seems to offer native stereoscopic 3D options, including SBS? But which I can’t seem to get working in 3D using virutal desktop, bigscreen, envelop, or any of the others…
I’ve had nvidia 3D vision for years, but there didn’t seem to be anyway to get the games working on the Rift, which is what led me here. Unfortunately as pointed out here, many games require specific fixes to even work in desktop 3D mode…
I was hoping that the Rift would be a perfect display for all of my 3D vision games, but that dream was dashed very early… It’s just a pain to turn on the 3D projector, close all the curtains, and put on my 3D glasses just to play a game for a couple minutes…
i thougth the same when i’ve got the vive, but the quality you get on a monitor with 3dvision is too far from what you get on the current hmd, imho if your goal is only play 3d i would stick with monitor/projector at least until next hmd that hopefully will have doubled resolution..
By the way nvidia is moving on vr too, let’s see what will happen..
vorpX can display side by side 3d content with video player profiles. Never tried this with a game so far, but you could try either the MPC-HC profile (for DX9 games) or the VLC profile (for OpenGL games) as a base. Just make a copy of one of these profiles in the config app and apply your game’s main .exe to this copy.
Provided the hook basically works, you would then be able to selected the content type (Mono/SBS/Over Under) on the image page of the vorpX ingame menu.
No guarantee that this will work, but worth a try.

I don’t really know much about VorpX – had it a few months, but had zero success with any games. I hope the next update will at least get me into Far cry 3.
However, for now I would be really happy just to get some 3D visuals going. I play a lot of 7 Days To Die (VR will be officially supported, but it’s a long way off, yet) and it’s great in 3D using SBS – I used TriDef trial to play. But that program messes with games you don’t want it to – if I could get VorpX to give me an SBS output that I can use Virtual Desktop to see in 3D in my Rift, I’d be a happy bunny.

I gave up on it. I guess we need proper support to get it working.
On a sidenote: I ended up running Virtual Desktop through steamVR in SBS mode, and running BoS through virtual desktops Games tab, with or_enabled in the BoS config. This gave me proper 3D and working headtracking in the Rift.
But turning the head in game results in horrible lag, even at lowest setting, and the eye placement seemed a bit off no matter what I did. Success, sort of:-p
Try it in the Vive if you can. Maybe it works better. Running the game in extended mode, through a program that is again run through SteamVR, via the Rift did not go well with my system:p
I have asked this question without getting a response.
PCSX2 Issues
But I was proactive and ported a long outdated stereoscopic plugin to the latest version of PCSX2.

It works perfectly with Virtual Desktop in Half-SBS mode using the Home Theater environment to reduce the chance of motion sickness.
Hi,
the sbs option in the desktop manager seems to be broken for me, it sometimes works, but often causes distortions.
Like here

Sometimes one eye freezes or it displays the images (image sides) on top of each other in both eyes.
Everything works fine, except the sbs option.
You cant be in it when its a 2D movie, also have you tried pressing DEL and setting SBS (side by side mode) in the options?
I have tried Reshade with several games in SBS mode and works good, i use virtual desktop in sbs mode to view them, the 3D effects still needs a lot of fine tuning though. Tridef is still my second option if a game does not do Geometry mode in Vorpx though, almost everything i’ve tested on Tridef has worked pretty well so far and the 3d effect is almost as good as Geometry mode. I’m still very interested on how to get Reshade to work with other injectors like Vorpx and Tridef though! I have tried ENB injector to inject Reshade into GTA 5 whilst running Vorpx.but it doesn’t seem to inject into 64bit exes..
is it possible to play 3d sbs videos with that?
Yes, that’s what i mainly use it for. They really need to add a playback option 180 and 360 videos. I find it to be better than Virtual Desktop because it has many built in features to increase stability and quality that were initially intended for VR conversion. You can play games in that mode too if you don’t want to go full VR but want 3D (at least VorpX Geometry if it doesn’t have built in 3D, or other tools for 3D conversion).
I use the Ambiance mode which is actually better, and i like the theater room, but i don’t use it much at all because of the avatar. These same modes are accessible in VR mode when in games or with the desktop viewer. Just load a sbs into MPC or VNC (make sure the program is opened before starting VorpX to avoid commandeering your exe) hit the “del” key and select the sbs mode. There’s a shortcut for it called “vorpx desktop viewer” or you can right click on the icon in the notification area.
