AFAIK you can use the ENB Injector version with vorpX. You can download it from the ENB mod website. This wasn’t tested here, but supposedly it works.

To enhance the image quality you have various options in vorpX: One is to set the game resolution higher than the Rift’s default 1280×800, which forces the Rift to downsample the output, creating a generally better looking image. Whether, and if, how good this works depends on your graphics driver and settings though.

vorpX also has various image quality related options on the display tab of the in-game menu. Try enabling ‘Fix Chromatic Aberration’ or ‘Shader Antialising’. Using both together is usually overkill and might cost you a few FPS, so try the one you like better.

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately I see you cannot use an ENB with vorpX, so I disabled mine and got in fine, but I am looking if possible the best settings to configure using the in-game options with Del.

I know each person is different, but maybe there are preferred or general tweaks for everyone that will make the experience better. I have already done 100 FOV in the command screen.

I remember awhile ago when I was using the TriDef free trial there was a way to make the image shaper and more clear with an option. I know the Rift’s 1280×800 resolution is part of the issue, I feel my viewing in-game is blurrier than it should be. Is there a similar option here to make it focus better?

Thanks for any help.

My post was for Skyrim, btw.

I was hoping a beefly modded game would help somewhat making it look gorgeous in the Rift.

Is there any way to make it at least playable for a few hours at a time?

Profiles for a few more X3 versions have been added recently. This games for some reason has so many different .EXEs for its various versions/add-ons etc. that it’s not an easy task to catch them all, but we’re getting there. :)

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did look through a couple of pages on the forum and didnt see anything ..

When you buy Vorpx will you own it for life? and get all updates from now until ..ever?
Thank you :)

Hello

I want play world of warcraft using Oculus with vorpx driver.

I bought the vorpx driver in order to play world of warcraft.

Activation code received yesterday.

But the play does not work well.

Beginners to ask for a detailed explanation.

I do not live in English culture. Please understand grammatical errors.

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

After some googling & tinkering I found the killer setup together with up to 6 degrees of freedom headtracking (meaning you can lean forward to read your cockpit instruments from up close, you can go up with your body to look above the cockpit, you can lean left/right etc.):

You need two instances of opentrack open at the same time (because the SimConnect protocol is broken on the latest versions, which however offer the best Rift headtracker support, I’m using both a new and an old version, which I connect to each other via UDP protocol).

First instance: opentrack 2.0a8 (“server” instance):
– Main tracker: Rift (leave all axes activated)
– Auxiliary tracker: aruco (aruco works by scotch taping a printed symbol to the front of your Rift. Your webcam (I use a PS3 Eye) will pick it up and calculate your position). Disable following axes on this tracker: RX, RY, RZ, TX (as I do not want horizontal movement to place me outside the plane ;-))
– Game protocol: UDP (use IP 127.0.0.1, port 5550, and allow in Firewall)
– Axis inversion: TY
– Make sure all curves are linear and “translation compensation” is disabled
– Map Ctrl-Shift-Z to “center” key

Second instance: opentrack 2.0a6 24 (“client” instance):
– Main tracker: UDP (use IP 127.0.0.1, port 5550, and allow in Firewall)
– Auxiliary tracker: None
– Game protocol: SimConnect
– No axis inversion
– Make sure all curves are linear and “translation compensation” is disabled
– Map Ctrl-Alt-Z to “center” key

How to go ahead:
– Run “server” instance, push start button
– Run FSX/Prepar3d (works in both), skip error message that headtracker is already in use by another application (this is what we want ;-))
When in cockpit, center view by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Z and Ctrl-Alt-Z
– Run “client” instance, push start button (you need to at least run “stop, start” as soon as you are inside your cockpit for FSX to activate the SimConnect tracking)
– Enjoy FSX in 5 degrees of freedom (6 if you also enable TX axis in aruco on “server” instance => as mentioned I prefer to disable it not to be placed outside my cockpit)

aruco needs sufficient light to be directed at the printed symbol attached to the front of your Rift (just place a lamp in front of you, won’t bother your view as you wear the Rift anyway).

aruco allows you to use a number of printed symbols for the tracking, however I am using http://www.outerra.com/images/787.svg (just printed from this page in the browser => credits to Brano Kemen => http://outerra.blogspot.be/2013/08/absolute-positioning-with-oculus-rift.html ).

Also make sure you pick the highest refresh rate for the camera as possible (I am using settings of 120Hz and 640×480 resolution in the camera setup of aruco, in the preview window I get around 70-80Hz).

Hope it helps & cheers ;-)

I see, it does pop up, but doesn’t have focus when it opens. You just see it in the task bar, but have to manually either Alt-Tab to it or click the window in the task bar to force focus. My task bar is auto-hidden, so after double clicking, I saw nothing expecting a window to pop up into the foreground.

So it is 1/2 working as expected.

[aparsons671]

One of the annoyances I get to is the task bar icon isn’t like most programs with a default option if you double click it. Instead, you have to right-click, then move up to Open Control Panel and then left click.

If there were the default menu option for double-clicking it would be more in-line with other programs and ease navigation slightly.

Other than that, I really like the program. Keep up the great work, Ralf.

On the final step of the order screen, it does say that you should make an email to support |at| vorpx com with your Name, Email address and the code on the registration screen that comes up at first. If you didn’t send that email and are waiting for an automatic “i’ve paid now send me my code”, I don’t think it will send one as they need the registration key that is generated by the software based on your hardware information.

I sent this and had my code in like 30 minutes (GREAT service Ralf, really impressed with your customer service skills):

To: support |at| vorpx com
Subject: VorpX Regisration

Name: [First Name] [Last Name]
Email: [Email Address used to pay with]
Serial #: [Serial copied from initial screen when loading vorpx]

Just replace everything with the [] brackets with the information you use and you should get a response back quickly, depending on time you do it. I think he does it himself and I doubt he’s a machine and needs rest sometimes.

Hi,

There shouldn’t be much you have to do besides starting vorpX Control. If it runs it displays a tray icon in your task bar. By right clicking it you get a context menu that, among other things, has a “Show help” entry, which currently displays a quickstart guide. That should contain the most important things you want to know.

You also might want to take a look at the “How to Get the Most Out of vorpX?” sticky above, and the trouble shooting sticky, in case you have a problem.

Hope that helps.

Hi Ralf.. I worked it out.

in ARMA3 I simply hit the “fn” key + back space

this took me from a single view to duel (V.R view) & I can see the VorpX beta symbol between the two lenses when I’m not wearing the Oculus Rift.

Arma3 runs great in V.R !!! Wow

I realize this is still in Beta .. but hey if any v.R enthusiasts want an awesome game try ARMA3. I am yet to tweak the VorpX settings but so far all is great… I have my MacBook Pro running Oculus Rift in BootCamp mode Win.7 64 bit. I have modded my Rift so now all power to the Rift s via USB cable.. this means my XBox controller & mouse are running from a USB hub.

This works well for me.

Can’t wait to test SkyRim..

note: I had a hard time setting this up as I’ going all this onboard a sailboat !! I ahve agenrerator humming away on the upper deck so I’m limited to how long I can play for.. but I cam up & running… I bet I must be the first person to use an Oculus Rift aboard a yacht… in the middle of a river.. I have to paddle my little dingy 1 km up a river to reach my Oculus Rift …

Hi Veritas,

If you didn’t go through the complete trouble shooting sticky above already, please take a look at it. Other than that you could try to reinstall vorpX, ideally after restarting Windows. If absolutely nothing works something has to be seriously wrong. Maybe your installation is corrupt for whatever reason.

Two hints for Skyrim: Check whether there is a d3d9.dll present in your game directory (for example from one of those highly popular ENB mods) and remove/rename it. Regarding the shortcut, plase make sure to use TESV.EXE as the shurtcut target, not the launcher!

Also please write a mail to support |at| vorpx com with some additional info (basic system specs and games you tried) so that we can trouble shoot this further. Thanks.
