“You can (and always could) use vorpX’s integrated FOV control instead of the Skyrim console to change the player mesh FOV alongside with the game FOV.”
Well that’s news to me and something you neglected to mention previously :) – thank you for explaining.
No amount of Skyrim.ini tweaking would fix the shadow issue, ditto for the water / skybox issues. Are such issues something you are prioritizing and working to resolve or should we expect to see these problems for sometime to come?
Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated.
You can (and always could) use vorpX’s integrated FOV control instead of the Skyrim console to change the player mesh FOV alongside with the game FOV. Shadows will be dealt with when we find a way to do this without requiring users to fiddle with .ini settings.
Hope this helps.
Hey Ralf,
Any news on fixing the giant player mesh, water and lack of shadows in Skyrim (in real 3D mode of course)? It’s been a while since I asked about it and other drivers have recently made real progress in this area. Again demonstrating that 3D bugs such as these are indeed fixable and should not simply be ignored or features disabled as a quick fix.
All the best,
Cy
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…
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.
Sweet. I’ll try that.
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.
Oh, didn’t see an option to change the resolution in the settings. I’ll have to check that out.
The game did seem to stutter a bit when turning, is playing on cloned display OK or should I change to a different setting. I thought I heard before that gaming in cloned can cause lag.

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.
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.
I purchased VorpX earlier today, and I cannot get it to work with any games. None. No matter what troubleshooting I attempt, nothing works. The tray icon is visible, and I appear to be able to configure settings within it, but it doesn’t hook into ANY game I try. When I start Skyrim, for instance, whether through Steam or a VorpX shortcut, it just displays regularly. I’m not sure what else I am supposed to do. The Oculus works fine, as I can play any natively supported games without any issue.
Hi,
Skyrim doesn’t seem to detect vorpx. I load up vorpControl.exe, then load Skyrim on my steam account, the display doesn’t change to the oculus ‘goggle’ vision, just the regular desktop display.
I’ve also tried right clicking on vorpx in my desktop trap and clicking ‘create desktop shortcut’, navigating to skyrim in the steam directory and adding the ‘tesv.exe’. But when I run that, I get a:
“The program can’t start because d3dx10_43.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”
This message only pops up when vorpx is running. I can click okay, and then the game loads, but does not render the oculus ‘goggle’ vision.
When I exit vorpx and play skyrim regular this message does not pop up.
I have tried re-installing skyrim but that doesn’t seem to fix it.
I have disabled AVG, I don’t have any scanners, and have exited Skype. I also don’t have any mods on skyrim.
I’ve also tried Morrowind, and Dear Esther, which all have the same problem.
Any thoughts on how I can fix this?
Thanks for any help!
You can adjust the Separation to your liking if you want, nothing wrong with that. In some games (including Skyrim) it’s currently a bit too high to give a realistic sense of scale per default, so it might make sense to set it lower until this is fixed.
The IPD usually should not be touched though once it is calibrated. It’s quite important to have this set right to avoid eye strain while using the Rift over a longer time. Calibrating it with the Oculus utility is the best way to do this.
If you refer to certain text overlays in Skyrim in Geometry 3D mode, that’s most likely not an IPD issue. It’s a small glitch in vorpX that might be fixed later. If only the text looks wrong, but the image itself looks OK, you shouldn’t change anything.
But you can if you want: you don’t have to use an Oculus profile at all. Simply select ‘Do not use an Oculus Profile’ in the vorpX Configuration. After doing so you can manually change your IPD, either in the config window, or directly in-game on the display page of the in-game menu. vorpX also has its own calibration routine, which can be launched from the in-game menu.
Hope that hepls.
You need no mod to use Skyrim with vorpX.
You can use most mods of course. But in your case it sounds best to first try without any mods installed.
Hi Steampunkgears,
not sure what might be the issue here. Did you try with a clean and unmodded install of Skyrim? Skyrim is not known to cause issues normally. The Script Extender that is requested on that page might cause issues for example (although it seems to work in general).
One general thing you could try is to disable your virus scanner temporarily and see whether that helps. There might be a conflict between its memory protection and the way vorpX hooks into games.
If you haven’t done so before, please also take a look at the trouble shooting sticky.
