Fallout 76 (MS Store version) won’t hook up

[InfiniteHydro]

Has anyone had success getting the MS store version of Fallout 76 to work in VorpX?
I’ve changed the access permissions on the folder, can now view it’s contents, read / write, etc., but when launching, VorpX can’t find the install and I’m not sure how to direct VorpX to the folder.

Only the Steam version is supported currently. The Game Pass version apparently uses a different .exe.

You can try to make a copy of the profile and then add ‘Project76_GamePass.exe’ to the newly crewated profile. However, some GamePass games aren’t hookable, so there is no guarantee.

IMPORTANT: while the basics *might* work that way, advanced DirectVR features (memory scanner tracking, FOV etc.) that the profile comes with would be broken for sure. Also it’s quite likely that shader definitions for the scalable HUD, shadow handling and so on don’t work.

I’ll check out the Game Pass edition before the next vorpX update, but for the time being I’d highly recommend to use the Steam version, even if you can make the Game Pass version work in principle with a profile copy.

Thanks for the quick reply! Great support of your product.
I wouldn’t worry about adding the MS store version if it hasn’t come up before, it was a freebie from Amazon, so no loss there, I’ll give the steam version a try instead.

Just a little heads-up that Geometry 3D is currently broken for both versions since the latest game patch. For the time being please switch to Z3D in the vorpX menu.

I have to redo parts of the profile to make G3D work again, I’ll let you know here when an updated profile is available (hopefully before the weekend).

An updated profile that restores G3D support is now available, you should receive a profile database update next time you launch vorpX. If that fails for some reason, you can grab the profile manually from the cloud profiles page in the config app.

Note that full support for the Game Pass version will have to wait until the next vorpX update, the Steam version however should work as intended again with the updated profile.
