In the news post it says “In some cases positional tracking can be handled by Direct VR”
Where can I see this in action? I’ve only tried Left4Dead 2 so far and it didn’t seem to do any positional tracking.
What can be handled by Direct VR varies from game to game. The Direct VR settings page in the vorpX menu always indicates what is available for a game. Unavailable options are marked as such.
If it’s not enabled per default (can’t remember currently), you can force the normal pos tracking in Left 4 Dead 2 (and all other Geometry 3D games) on the head tracking page of the ingame menu though.

Where are those options in game? Where are geometry settings, Direct VR settings? I have:
Main settings (only one option here VR cinema ON/OFF)
Image Settings
Display settings
Head tracking settings
Vive hand controller settings
Mouse settings
VR hotkey settingsWhere are settings for Vive controller trackpad sensivity (beside mouse acceleration ON/OFF)Found itThe DirectVR page in the menu is only shown if a game actually supports DirectVR.
Currently this true for these games: Fallout 4, Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, Borderlands 2, Bishock (original), Bioshock 2 (original), Bioshock Infinite, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Black Mesa Source.
If a game has Geometry 3D, the option is available on the main page of the ingame menu (“3D Reconstruction”). That did not change with the update.
I had something like z-buffer normal or adaptive. I dont remember, now i cant change it and shadow rendering is different in each eye. It makes Vorpx unusable for now
That’s the “3D-Reconstruction” option on the main page of the ingame menu, which hasn’t changed. It’s where it always was.

Nope i believe you’re wrong. Cant make a screenschot in VR but i had this option before update and now in alien isolation there is only one option “Virtual Cinema ON/OFF”
If that is happening in a game that has no profile, it can be perfectly normal.
If that is happening in a game that is supposed to have a profile, please first try to reinstall vorpX. Might be an issue with loading profiles then. If reinstalling does not help, please create a trouble shoot data archive in the config app and send it to support |at| vorpx com. I have no idea why that may happen, but maybe looking at the logfile can shed some light on it.
Hi Ralf, I would also like to know which games support the “head tracking position” feature per DirectVR. I’ve tried Borderlands2 and Skyrim (original) and both report unavailable, but auto FOV and rotation are working. I’m using the HTC Vive, and notice when I turn my head and look up/down, the whole world shifts up/down slightly, instead of just head roll up/down, which induces some nausea. Any method for tweaking the neck skeleton, so that looking up/down doesn’t move the view height in game?
Appreciated for all your hard work and newest version features!!!Hmm, I have the same as in the screenshot that rust posted for Skyrim. But I’m not sure how to reinstall vorpX as I have no installation file. It is no longer possible to download because the link in my confirmation mail had 14 days TTL.
And speaking of positional tracking, I’m having quite a lot of fun at the moment experimenting with it. Seems it would be possible to have room-scale experience in 3rd person, not a gameplay room-scale, but a viewer one, where you can get close to things or move up and down to see things from different angles. But at some point it recenters and tells you not to move too much. Is it possible to have this disabled and recenter via a shortkey/controller button?
If you feel like experimenting you can enable the free camera (type TFC in the console or use the Better Free Camera) and you can move around both with the keyboard and your body. Unfortunately you are losing control over your character by enabling the free camera.
@ Dedalus
Off the top of my head: The Bioshock games and the Fallout games and Aliens Colonial Marines. All games with Geometry 3D have positional tracking without Direct VR though. If not active per default, it can be enabled on the head tracking page of the ingame menu. Note that neither Direct VR nor the normal pos tracking auto-convert games into great roomscale experiences, it’s perfectly fine for playing seated or standing with a little bit of movement though.
@ prinyo
The menu issue was just identified thanks to the logfiles rust sent. It actually affects every Vive owner, so it will be addressed immediately. With Vive these options are invisible due to a last minute change yesterday that wasn’t tested anymore with Vive.
I will issue a hotfix shortly (within the next few hours). Once it is online vorpX should auto update again.
If you still need/want a new download, you can get that at any time from the link below:
