Not going to rift

[roiegat]

So yesterday I was able to get it working…but today the screen is not going to the rift. Here’s what I did:

1) Launched Vorpx service
2) Went to configure it, told it to show on Rift (as I did yesterday)
3) Started GTA V….but it kept displaying on my main screen.

Any ideas?

Please double check whether you followed ALL steps in the DK2 Setup Guide in the vorpX help. It explains two possible setups. Short version below. Please still read the guides in the help, they also contain other important information.

In GTA V (and other games) you can alternatively select the output monitor in the game’s options menu.

Please also make sure that the game uses true 1920×1080 fullscreen mode.

You have two options to use vorpX:

A. The convenient one (works with most games)

1. Set the Rift DK2 to “Extend Desktop to HMD”
2. Use the Rift DK2 as SECONDARY monitor in Windows
3. Set the Rift DK2 to “Portrait” mode in Windows
(might be “Landscape flipped” in Windows 8)
4. Set vorpX to “Show on DK2″ display wise in the vorpX config app.

B. The compatible one

1. Set the Rift DK2 to “Extend Desktop to HMD”
2. Use the Rift DK2 as PRIMARY monitor in Windows
3. Set the Rift DK2 to “Portrait” mode in Windows
(might be “Landscape flipped” in Windows 8)
4. Set vorpX to “Use system settings” display wise in the vorpX config app.

It is important to choose the right setting in the vorpX config app according to your display settings in Windows. It is important to choose the right setting in the vorpX config app according to your display settings in Windows.

For a more detailed guide including screenshots please check the DK2 setup guide that comes with vorpX.

It was the fullscreen that wasn’t on. Not sure how that got changed some one day to the next.

Was a very odd experience and I ended up getting motion sickness from it. I was using the xbox controller which wasn’t mapping correctly, but still figured out some keys. Driving in a car it seems like it just had full left or right and not analog – so ended up getting a little sick. Will try to use keyboard and mouse until next vorpx version.

Thanks for the help.
