Does Amnesia The Bunker work with VorpX?

[Svperstar]

I’m reading contradictory things online. I am using a PSVR2 as my headset. Amnesia The Bunker is one of my favorite games of all time and would love to play it in VR if I can.

So does it work?

Thanks.

I have vorpx and looked up “Amnesia” and there’s a base profile for it provided by Vorpx, and a bunch of user profiles derived from that base profile, including one for Amnesia Bunker. I have never played the game, but there’s profiles for it.

Vorpx gives you stereoscopic 3D, so it’s not like native VR, it’s more like using a 3D TV IMHU, but if you think that would be fun, give it a try!

Goodluck!

VorpX is like native VR with a lot of games, but usually more beautiful, clearer&sharper with more display options, and most of the time no motion aiming / handling (it would require a mod). Some games even have great 6dof camera.

I don’t know about this game. There is an unofficial profile in the cloud section.

This game seems to allow an high FOV (something required to get proper full VR). You should usually choose a value around 112°.

So if the profile has headtracking & G3D, it’s probably like native (with the right resolution & FOV). It it has only headtracking and Z3D, it’s like native but with a lesser type of 3D.

Considering this is an unofficial profile, it’s hard to say what it does without testing it.

This game seems to use HPL Engine.

According to this website :
https://rjkole.com/gamestuff/engines/index.php?selengine=HPL%20Engine
there is G3D sometimes with this engine (Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Amnesia: The Dark Descent).
If it works, it probably require to play the game in DX11. This game seems recent so I don’t know if shaders will work in G3D without an official profile.
DirectX12 usually only allows Z3D but if there is a profile, it probably works.

hello, for me : no 3d

Which profile did you try ? Did you hook ?

I have the game now (it was offered by Epic Games) so I can test it but not right now (I don’t have the time and the storage).

Did you try since you got it for free?

I just tested it.

So it works, but it’s harder than usual.

Full VR took me a few seconds to configure (adjust FOV, resolution and headtracking speed), but 3D was a lot harder.

I think it’s an OpenGL game, and I’m surprised it works.

It was kind of tricky.

First of all I can’t test the profile on the cloud because I still use V24.1 and Cloud doesn’t work with it anymore :(

I derived the official “Machine for Pigs” profile in the local tab and I assigned “AmnesiaTheBunker.exe” (“Add File” button).

Only “G3D” works with this game. It’s probably not usual G3D, and not as impressive as DX9 (or 11) games. But it doesn’t seem to break any shader and it’s clear&sharp.

At first, 3D was flickering, so I had to configure a few things. It may be different for you, but I had good results with :
– 2775×2772 resolution (I usually use 4:3 ratio but this time I needed “1:1”).
– There is an option in the ingame menu page 2 named “Game HUD Depht”. I used 0.8 to 0.85
It seemed to affect 3D strenght.
– I also used 1.4 to 1.5 3D strenght in Geometry (Full VR tab). Usually 0.8 to 1.0 are enough. These settings are unusual.

I used max Clarity FX and Sharpness, and lowered VorpX’s Gamma.

It may be some kind of alternate rendering but I didn’t noticed it at the end (with a good framerate). I guess Refresh Rate may impact the 3D if it’s not properly configured.
I think you shouldn’t use too high resolution. I had problems with 3840p. The game is clear enough even at lower resolutions anyway.

Don’t forget to use the Virtual Monitor (VorpX Desktop Viewer before hooking) if you need it to reach the desired resolution. If you hook with this profile, you’ll have the G3D option.
