Unable to use Vorpx at all with Quest 2

[xilc]

I’m using an Oculus Link cable with my Quest 2. I have the Oculus app installed, Vorpx installed fully, and I also have steam open with the Steam VR app installed.

I tried World of Warcraft first, and it says “Attaching to WoW”… But I look on Steam VR and it says “Inactive. Please put on your headset” so I put it on… and nothing happens on my headset. I stay on the home screen

I’ve also tried using Virtual Desktop as well, and I can see WoW as a windowed screen on the VR headset…. but it’s just a floating window. No actual VR or freelook

Any tips? For a quest 2, do I need to have the configuration set to Steam VR, or Oculus ?

hello, what’s your antivirus ?

This is weird, i have this error too ” Please put on your headset” while viewing the errorpage through my Headset (Vive PRo) with some of the unity players (DeoVR/Gizmo etc.) and Steam VR ( without VorpX ! ) on certain webpages. I would guess the error has something to do with SteamVR.

@ xilc: With the Link cable there is no need for using SteamVR with a Quest usually except for some DX12 games. Try to run vorpX in native Oculus mode by selecting Oculus as your headset type in the vorpX config app.

SteamVR is only needed for Virtual Desktop. In that case you have to select SteamVR as headset type in the vorpX config app AND enable SteamVR capturing in Virtual Desktop.

Hi — I tried this, and it works for Left 4 Dead 2, Fallout 4… Just not World of Warcraft. Is this game no longer supported?

It’s currently set to direct 11 legacy, and windowed. Should it be fullscreen?

Here’s what I see when I open up WoW with Vorpx running and following all of the instructions: https://i.imgur.com/luNlGoO.png

I’m using direct x 11 legacy, windowed mode, Vorpx running, Virtual desktop, SteamVR is fully working… Not sure what’s missing

It opens Steam VR and shows Steam VR on my headset… but the WoW window isn’t head tracking. It’s just left to right window stretched in front of me.
