Can’t start game at right display 0.7.1 DK2

[Sord]

Hello

I tried now Skyrim and unsupported game inMomentum and both of them handled thing same way. My Rift is extended mode. If I set display mode “Show only on rift dk2” game start correctly and orientation trackin is working etc… buuuut in my main screen. If I use “Show only on [my main display name]” game is going to Rift but it crash, with skyrim error is “Failed to initialize renderer. Unknown error creating the renderer”. I cannot test clone mode since my current my display is not supporting 1080p. If I set rift as main display “show only dk2” will crash since it tries to set my monitors display mode to 1080p. “Show only [main display, or more like secondary in this case]” leads to same “Failed initialize renderer…”.

Please try to setup the Rift as primary monitor together with the “Use system settings” display option in vorpX. This is the most compatible option.

Skyrim may also work in “Direct to Rift” mode, but many other games will not.

“Please try to setup the Rift as primary monitor together with the “Use system settings” display option in vorpX.”
-> Failed to initialize renderer.
you risplay doesn’t support the selected resolution. Please set a different resolution in Skyrim’s Launcher under ‘Display Settings’. (btw I check that there is no resolutions available in senttings menu)

Skyrim may also work in “Direct to Rift” mode, but many other games will not.
-> “Failed to initialize renderer. Unknown error creating the renderer”

Make sure that the Rift is set to portrait mode and the game is set to the native resolution of your DK2 (1920×1080) before you use it with vorpX. Not sure what else to recommend.

If you use mods, please try a fresh Skyrim install.

Make sure game starts in FullScreen mode.

Finally get it work. Everyghing was more or less confusing bue here its all the things what I noticed. At first if I chosed “only on rift” with display as main sceen, it was started normally at sceen like I said and if I chosed “only on [main display]” it crash _but_ error and black game screen goes to rift. So “I want rift” -> main display, “I want screen” -> rift. Also resolution was confusing since some way when I check skyrim settings it just didn’t show me any options to resolution, so I just think that ok vorpx is maybe doing some magic???

Anyway problems was that it just didn’t run on right resolution I thin.
I get it work with these setting Rift as main screen and manually set 1080p resolution to config. On last try when rift was primary, vorpx “only on screen” -> screen “only on rift” -> rift, but if rift was primary “only on screen” -> screen, “only on rift” -> screen(!).

But yea its not fun to use still, have to test this with better display since without clone and as rift primary screen this is very uncomfortable to use.
