I am having an issue getting Vorpx to display 3D signal on my Panasonic 3D TV.
I read some posts on this forum of people using Vorpx to play games on their 3dtv’s. Those posts are now years old, and I’m likely in minority of people still using one. But, I’ve got a 1080p 3d with great image quality so I wanted to see if I could get it up and running with Vorpx.
I selected Generic 3dtv in Devices, and tried both “use windows default” or selecting my tv directly, but when hooking into 3 different games (Left4Dead2, Black Mesa, Portal 2) all I get is a black screen with a diagonal shader across the entire screen. I CAN see the Vorpx version number watermark in lower left of screen and I can hear the game running, but the image isn’t showing up properly on screen.
The few videos available referencing use of Vorpx with a 3DTV already show the game hooked in and running in SBS (side-by-side image) 3D format… I’m not getting even that far.
Also of note, the Del key to show Vorpx menu does not appear with the screen blacked out like that.
Can anyone advise on why I maybe running into this issue?
Ralf, is there a way to program the Desktop Viewer like Steams Virtual Desktop?
Just for pure SBS watch content?
Reason:
I launch a game with Reshade with Depth3d with Virtual desktop , press F7 to get SBS view = Done.
Issues: really bad performance, crashes in headset on start up often.
I launch a game with Reshade with Depth 3D , launch Vorpx Desktop Viewer and it tries to attach
itself to the game , crashing most of the time mostly due to Reshade being present.
Can you change that? (it works on some games, but mostly it crashes)
Your viewer is so much better, stable and good performance over VD, it would be great to just have the Viewing SBS function without it trying to inject / attach itself to the games and crashing them on start up.
possible?
You created a Vorpx profile for Outriders?
where? I cant find it on Cloud or Local profiles.
Did you upload it?
Sometimes Z3D is better then broken-ish G3D
I see it in Hitman 2 for example. The G3D is hurting your eyes and messes up the graphics
whereas the Z3D looks very realistic and I Can run wiht maximum settings.
My all time favourite way to play is anyway with Vorpx Immersive screen with Ambience background
so Hitman 3 and Hitman 2 are just mint !
Back to Outriders: I got it to work well with REshade and Superdepth and it even launches with Vorpx Desktop Viewer
so I get best of both worlds (not that it often happens as most games crash if you run reshade with vorpx viewer)
but Outriders looks good.
if you have the Vorpx Profile in ZD3 however I am keen try , but point me in the right direction, I did not find it.
But from what you saying, you add 3D with reshade as well but run in Vorpx? or how do you mean?
Days Gone I love in Vorpx in Immersive screen. Very clean and runs well.
Reshade was not bad but I like Vorpx better, its brighter and 3D is very realistic in my O.
I did not bother with any of the Helixmods as I read its only for older graphic cars, the 3090 is not supported and
to be honest it sounds all too copmplicated to set up ! haha.. I like to click a button in Vorpx and all runs well with some small tweaking.
Same with Deathloop, it started to give me stutter and loop loading issues wiht Reshade and my headset and Virtual Desktop.
With the official Vorpx profile it runs smooth like butter and the 3D is pretty good too. I prefer it over Reshade.
Oh snap, I have Evil Dead listed on my wishlist ! :)
yes Reshade would be good, but I can already see performance issues in my headset running it, so until I get a pure
PC VR headset like the high end Pimax , I wont bother. The Quest 2 has way too many issues on the PC VR and is really a wannabe PC set rather then a pure good working one.
So Evil dead is now blocked on Reshade or you still using it in Single player mode?
Shame Vorpx Viewer clashes so often wiht the Reshade 3d as it tries to attach it self rather then just beeing a stand alone SBS viewer like Virtual Desktop.
I get this from other thread.
====================================================================================================
As far as Ive ever used it – I could be wrong, but Vorpx doesnt ‘create’ a SBS image for you to use in Desktop mode. That being said, if the content is SBS (movie or a game with Reshade or Geforce 3d) you can select a setting in the Vorpx Menu while in Desktop Mode under “Image Settings”, go to “Stereo Type” and change to Side by Side.
Again, the -content- has to already be in SBS mode on your monitor for it to create the 3d effect. Thats as far as I know, though. This could not be 100% accurate, but thats what I know about it. Sure someone else can expand on it further, but if youve already got content that is SBS that you want to use, that should make it 3d in the headset.
For superdepth3D or other SBS like native 3D in games, Desktop+ is a good free program on steam if you can’t run it in vorpX desktop (ie cant run in borderless) to get the benefit of the Clarity feature.
yeah! for some reason Virtual Desktop is going downhill for me with my Quest 2. Hardly any game starts and frankly it starts to suck big time, hence I am now all in in the Vorpx Desktop viewer – which is great especially with the ambience background, but you can choose any including Cinema and all. The Input you select in the menu itself when you press the DEL button. Change from normal to SBS and thats all she wrote!
For example in Far Cry New Dawn I had to set the FPS limited as it was really poor but Far Cry 6 and 5 run very well on low to mid settings. Need to test whats best on your machine.
I launch the game itself and once its launched I launch the Vorpx View with the VR controller on my dashboard, I find this the easiest way vs the Win button or ALT TAB.
What is strange that some games play straight up (outriders, Far cry even Star Wars Battlefield II), some on the other hand clash and crash straight away like MARVELS Avengers, Control and Quantum Break. No idea why..
like Z3D ! Install reshade and select the depth3D shader, config depth3d in the reshade ingame menu to give a SBS output, capture the SBS Output with SBS Input of the Vorpx Desktop Viewer !
How do you capture SBS input of the Vorpx Desktop viewer? I have the game set up in Reshade with Superdepth 3D installed and its runs in SBS mode, but when I start Vorpx Desktop view it tries to attach Vorpx and all crashes, how you make it work that you run Reshade with Vorpx Desktop viewer?
@GhostRider087 You wrote once you were using Vorpx Desktop Viewer to play a Reshade game (say Quantum Break) in 3D with Superdepth 3D. How did have get this work? Its easy with the Steam Virtual desktop and just press F7 to get the SBS but how did you get it to work with the Vorpx Viewer? Reason I am asking is that VD keeps crashing my games and I cant get pass booting section on many so I wanted to use the Vorpx Desktop viewer (with Ambience background on top its amazing), but when I start up the game, firstly there is no such thing like toggle to SBS in Vorpx viewer (is there??) and secondly Vorpx trying to attach itself to the exe and creates a clash with the installed Reshade and crashes..
Did you actually made it work or just in theory? in Praxis, I cant get it to work how you described it.
Hi Ralf, I have the same question. I love the VorpX Viewer with the Ambience lighting around. Magic.
1)
So now I am playing a SBS video from my computer but can only see both images left and right. How do I switch the image input type to SBS ? I cant find it the Vorpx Menu.. Is the Vorpx menu the one I activate with the DEL key? and there? where I do I change it?
2)
Secondly, is there a way to use Vorpx Desktop Viewer and play a game which is not modified by Vorpx?
I have a game for which there is no Vorpx profile, its has the Re-shade 3D VR mod installed however,
I can play it okay with Steams Virtual Desktop and hit the F7 button to get the SBS view = 3D,
but I love the Ambience in the Vorpx Desktop Viewer and would like to play with it.
Possible at all? how?
There also are profiles that utilize SBS input. E.g. Shadow of the Tomb Raider. That can serve as a base for other games/apps with DX11 SBS output.
SBS controls show upo when using vorpX desktop viewer but not when hooking into the game, unless I’m missing something.
Are you saying SBS produced by geo-11 shows up in VorpX? Would it work with VorpX fullVR mode or with the upcoming gesture system? I normally use Virtual Desktop for SBS content, but wanted to see if I could combine geo-11 with the benefits of VorpX.
SBS (and other 3D output) settings show up when using vorpX desktop viewer (pause watcher / run in borderless) or there is a free app on steam called Desktop+ that does SBS efficiently.
Tried a few of the OpenGL3Dvision fixes from VK3DVision site and they work like geo-11 as well if you swap in the newer OpenGl 3DVision Wrapper (some already have it) and setting AlternativeView_Mode = 1 (for SBS) and StereoDominantEye = RIGHT_EYE in the ini
The SBS setting in VorpX only shows with desktop viewer for me. Want that for superdepth3d/reshade on occasion when there is no profile for a game. Is there a way to get it to show when VorpX hooks?
What are you playing the 3D video with ?
Are you watching Half-SBS videos ?
