Hi,
I’m new to all this VR headset stuff. Played “Half Life 2” back in the days with Elsa Revelator 3D glasses on a CRT Monitor and loved it.
Now I want to get back into 3D gaming again, because I found out about “Black Mesa” (remake of the original Half Life game).
I don’t want to spend lots of money, is there a piece of hardware that I can buy to get back the 3D without too much hassle?
I’m not new to computers but I don’t want to fiddle around for hours. What would you recommend?
1. What VR Set or what display can I buy? Low price please, it’s ok for me to buy used gear.
2. What Software do I need? Drivers for the VR Set or display, and also Vorpx or what else?
3. How difficult is it to get the VR Headset or display working with “Black Mesa”? I want the 3D vision, I don’t need virtual controllers or are those automatically supported, too?
You know, I don’t want to buy hardware and then find out it doesn’t work with “Black Mesa” or it’s unplayable because of some glitches or errors…
Thank you to everybody for your help!!!Hi again,
I got a good deal on a Quest 2 (almost new).
Now I can’t wait to try it out.
Is there a step-by-step guide for setting it up, so that I can play “Black Mesa” in 3D?
ThanksBlack Mesa should be pretty straightforward, since there is official profile for it.
Select correct hmd (quest) in vorpx and then launch the game and vorpx “should” hook up to it.
There´s basic quick reference help in vorpx that should help you get going.Thanks, but I’m really frustrated right now.
Black Mesa doesn’t work for me. I can’t use the menu of the game…?!
Vorpx kicks in, but I can’t start a game.
Also some flickering. I already use 4:3 ratio.
Wasted about 3 hours, still can’t play the game.
This is so annoying…Can you elaborate on that, does the game menu show but you can´t select anything, what are you seeing in your hmd? Usually you have to clear the vorpx starting screen with the keys prompted, and after that you can use your mouse/keyboard normally to run the game.
About the flickering, what hz mode are using on quest2, I personally haven´t used it but maybe the 72hz mode is flickery and should be increased atleast to 90hz.
Edit. Also you need to make sure that the game is active on the desktop, sometimes when you start the game it stays on the background and can´t interact with it.
