OMG OMG OMG, Tron 2.0 with Geometry 3D and DirectVR!!! You are DA MAN!!! Now I just have to find a way to teleport myself three days into the future, can’t wait ;-)
No Direct VR head tracking though, head tracking is mouse based, at least for now. FOV and resolution are handled by Direct VR though, so it’s almost ‘plug and play’.
Uhm, will this make rift 2.0 work with vorpx? The only way I seem to be able to get it work is by going back to the old, classic rift interface (which will be phased out eventually). I downloaded the vorpx desktop viewer that you have in a stickied thread, but that did not work.
I tried opening haloce.exe, but I just got what looked like a generic, undecorated app window with the word loading at the bottom of it. Also the frame rate got extremely bad and everything was very choppy. I only got it to work when I rolled back the rift home, but that option won’t be available forever.
On most machines Oculus 2.0 works just fine already. However, Oculus 2.0 messes with the Windows monitor configuration by adding an additional (software) monitor for its desktop feature while Oculus Home 2.0 is running. On some systems that can lead to fullscreen games failing to launch. With or without vorpX running BTW.
There is a fix for that in this vorpX release, until then you can simply enable the classic home environment instead of the new one if you encounter this issue on your PC.
Dying Light enhanced edition already has 3D/VR:

There is a thread on here somewhere from someone currently playing Origins with Z3D …
Ralf–great news about Kingdom Come! Super excited to play it with VorpX.
Nice seeing a new release so soon, interesting game choices and sweet sweet Geometry 3D! Bravo and good luck making what else you’re working on make the cut!
HI i know but zbuffer is not 3D. G3D is totally different thats what i am asking for since two years.
@ morbidexpression: TESO has been looked into not too long ago before the December update. Doesn’t look good for D3D11 G3D in this case, you should consider it Z3D only due to the removed D3D9 support.
“5-7% improvement in most direct mode games”
I’ll take any improvements with open arms, my 1070 just isn’t powerful enough for newer games and geometry mode.Unexpected release but faster updates are great!
Took a closer look at this update and I’m not just psyched for KCD but also the Thief remake in G3D, Nier, etc.
Any chance we could eventually get a Titanfall 2 profile? Very playable with unofficial Tridef profile but I miss that Vorpx magic …
Regardless, I really hope the VR community will come to realize the huge strides Vorpx has made/is making with these last few updates. There was a time where I couldn’t unreservedly recommend the software to someone–especially if they weren’t into tinkering. Now not only would I recommend it–I think EVERYONE who is into 3D/VR gaming should buy it. Great work, Ralf.
