vorpX 19.2.1 has been released.This is a maintenance release, mostly focusing on fixing a few issues that have been identified since 19.2.0. Also some minor improvements have been added, most notably automatic audio switching for Rift S.
New/Changed:
- Rift S audio switching support.

- No more ~5 seconds hooking delay after a clean game exit. Now only delayed if a game hangs.
Bugfixes:
- D3D9 Z3D pipeline init was incomplete (vorpX 18.1.5 regression).
- D3D9 Z3D HUD scaling was not working anymore in some games despite the feature being available.
- Z3D did not work anymore in various games when loading pre 19.1.0 profiles.
- Fixed a rare crash condition that could occur occasionally with multithreaded games during init.

vorpX 19.2.0.1 has been released.This is a hotfix release that addresses the issues below:
- On Windows 7 some DX11 games could crash with SteamVR.
- Metro Exodus: Shadows are now disabled per default with Geometry 3D for a 50-80% performance boost. If you already have vorpX 19.2.0 installed, either reset the profile to default or switch off shadows manually in the vorpX menu.
- New headset render target size calculation slightly modified.

vorpX 19.2.0 has been released.Most prominent functional addition in this release is a C API for modders that provides easy, vendor agnostic access to headset properties like tracking or camera data and on top of that some vorpX specific functions for a streamlined user experience. If you are a modder working on a camera/FOV mod for a game, check the vorpX help for instructions and code samples. If you aren’t a modder yourself, spread the word!
The release also comes with a variety of smaller improvements and of course new game profiles have been added as well as various existing profiles have been revisited and improved.
For details please check this blog post.
I certainly appreciate this
Config app remembers folder paths for various open/save dialogs between sessionsThank you very much for the update !
G3D on Metro Exodus seems unplayable. Not sure if its just me. Shadows are really pooched, and aiming down the rifle scope is way off. The crosshair is outside of the scope. Tried restarting and playing with the settings.
Luckily, Z3D still works just fine.Enable expert settings and then use the main eye option for aiming down the sights with G3D.
Re other glitches: please get the Metro Exodus profile from the cloud (again). I reverted it to its original state for now, the quick G3D performance fix that I uploaded earlier apparently caused a bunch of other issues.
It’s been so long since I used vorpx, how do we go about updating? If it’s already installed is there a self updater or do I need to like track down my serial numbers again etc?
Edit: NVM, I didn’t RTFM
>If you already own vorpX, it should auto-update when you start vorpX Control next time. If it doesn’t for some reason, simply use the web installer that you received when you purchased vorpX. It will download the latest version available.
Gave Borderlands 1 GOTY Enhanced a try and it worked great in DirectVR, perfect tracking and scale, my only issue would be that it didn’t like my custom resolutions so i got only 1600×1050 or something like that avialable and it looked too blurry. This also happens in 2d, so i’ll look around how to set it up for higher res.
Still amazing update Ralf, great job.
I might be able to help with that: The game doesn’t support aspect ratios below 16:10, so the the usual 4:3 resolutions are ignored by DirectVR. If you have 16:9/16:10 custom resolutions above 1600×1050, DirectVR should utilize them though. Let me know if it doesn’t.
Alternatively you can disable auto resolution on the DirectVR page and set any 16:9/16:10 resolution your PC supports manually.
When the game start i have nothing in my htc vive… and in game As soon I move the htc vive the PC locks
It’s exhausting.
Whenever a update of Vorpx, I can not run a single game in VR.
And this time, you can not find the location of the Vorpx directory to erase old files. Does it change place, name?
C:\Users\”user”\AppData\Local\Animation Labs is empty
I’m on Windows Seven 64BitsTha data files have been moved to the global app data folder about three years ago: C:\ProgramData\Animation Labs\vorpX.
If you experience start crashes with some DX11 games on Windows 7, I’m working on it. A hotfix will be made available either later today or tomorrow.
A general hint for the remaining Windows 7 users: VR headset owners with Windows 7 are slowly becoming an obscure minority. For Oculus Windows 7 is at 1.7% as of today according to their hardware survey, for SteamVR I would suspect a slightly, but not dramatically, higher number. There will be a time – probably not too far away – where the headset vendors decide to go Windows 10 only. Despite all the valid reasons you have not to make the jump to Windows 10 you might want to slowly start getting accustomed to the idea of a future without Windows 7.
