Most titles on the supported list aren’t functioning for me

[Redlanter]

I just redownloaded the app and burned a couple hours without being able to get a single game I want to play working. I have used Vorpx with success in the past but now it’s not working.

Here are the games I tried:
– Dear Ester: I load the profile and Vorpx tries to attach and fails after several minutes of waiting
– Gone Home: Same as Dear Ester
– Firewatch: The game loaded the first time, asked me to reboot the game, now when I start it, it tries to start, I get a black screen, then I am tossed back to Oculus Home
– Edith Finch is the only title I could get working

I loaded each profile before launching the game, tried rebooting multiple times, tried launching from desktop view, tried launching straight from the .exe.

I really just want to be able to hop in and play games. It seems like every time I redownload Vorpx I have to burn several hours before I get anything working, and even then I have to compromise on which games I play from the supported list. I have read the instructions, and followed YouTube guides to no avail. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here? Do the titles above work for anyone out there?

Running on an RTX 3080 desktop, with the newest drivers and the newest version of Vorpx.

If you haven’t done so already, please first try both troubleshooting options that appear in the ‘Attaching to…’ dialog after a while, i.e. installing a hook helper and switching to alternative hooking. That can often resolve hooking problems without getting to the bottom of the matter.

If that doesn’t help, please check for potential conflicts with other programs on your PC. Hooking issues almost always are caused by conflicts with programs that also hook into games. The trouble shooting guide on top of this sub forum has more details on the matter.

I tried launching them all again from Steam. Dear Ester still doesn’t display even after the hook helper and alternative method, but I was able to get the rest to display. They all look a bit wonky, but hopefully I can tune them.

As far as Dear Esther is concerned use the original DX9 version if possible. Works a lot better than the more recent DX11 ‘landmark’ edition.
