Dirt 2 & 3 won’t work, But, every other game I’ve tried does.

I can’t get VorpX to launch in VorpX Stereoscopic at all with Dirt 2 or Dirt 3. Every other “supported” game I try to launch with VorpX loads in Stereoscopic except for D2 & D3. I noticed in the excluded games list that VorpX has by default in ver.7.01 that D2 and D3 were both on the excluded list exes to not try to launch? I’ve tried EVERYTHING I can imagine and have done plenty of research to find variables to change in troubleshooting this problem.

*I tried removing Dirt 2 and Dirt 3 from the excluded list*

I’m using Windows 8.1, Intel 3770k, Nvidia GTX 580. An interesting isolated and separate note, when launching an unsupported game (Smite) it would launch in mono with the Rift as exclusive primary, if I turn off the Rift it switches to my monitor as the primary and activates the stereoscopic VorpX mode, then if I turn on the Rift it switches back in with stereoscopic on. Weird.

You could try to switch from the games from DX9 to DX11 or vice versa. DX9 is the preferred mode, since it has Geometry 3D, but if one of them does not work, the other may be worth a try.

This has to done with an .ini tweak unfortunately. Here you find a short tutorial for Dirt 3: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1907032

dirt2.exe and dirt3.exe should remain on the exclude list. These are the launcher programs, not the actual games. vorpX should not hook them.

You can do a full factory reset in the config app (trouble shooting page) to bring them back if you can’t add them back manually.
