If you got 25.1.4 earlier today (Dec 20), please reinstall using your web installer. It was only up for about an hour before it got pulled again due to a last minute bug that could cause random crashes. New build is up, no version change though, so you have to reinstall manually.
Check the support FAQ if you didn’t keep your installer.
25/12/20 | vorpX 25.1.4 has been released
This maintenance update mainly focuses on an annoyance affecting mouse/keyboard players in some games that upscale the image to the monitor size. Under certain circumstances that can lead to vorpX’s stereo cursor being shown at a wrong position, making it difficult to hit buttons in menus etc. Various reasons for this super annoying glitch are now covered. The remaining will follow later.
Apart from that there have been a few more fixes and a new profile for Farming Simulator 2025 with automatic FOV and a scalable HUD.
Click here for a list of noteworthy changes
- vorpX: Improved stereo cursor rendering in games that upscale their output.
- vorpX: Z3D could break in some games after taking off the headset.
- vorpX: some games could crash with Windows display scaling set to 150/175.
- vorpX: some games could crash on audio device change (25.1.3 regression)
- Farming Simulator 2025: new profile with HUD scaling and DirectVR FOV.
- Farming Simulator 2022: DirectVR FOV update.
- Fallout 4: DirectVR FOV scan was broken after a game update.
Happy to report that the latest update made everything look better! At least with my Pimax headsets there has been some problems (aliasing and such) and now it is gone. Also the expert setting that allows user to choose the sampling setting is great, can fix some problems with high sharpening and lower resolutions (patterns on uniformly colored areas, sky etc, choosing linear fixes those, bicubic seems too ‘soft’).
Dear Ralf,
The games enhanced through vorpX are, in my view, absolute masterpieces and represent the very top of what the gaming industry can offer.
I am currently playing several of the games you have transformed, and I can honestly say that this is the greatest gaming experience I have had in my entire life — and I am 40 years old.Your work allowed me to experience games in a way that feels years ahead of its time, offering a glimpse into what the future of gaming could truly be.
Please accept my sincere admiration and deep respect for your talent, dedication, and vision.With great appreciation,
ViktorRalf: Huge thanks the recent updates! The virtual monitor capability alone is a game changer and I’m amazed how well it works for new titles that refuse to latch (e.g. ARC Raiders) and old titles that have ceased to latch over time (e.g. KCD II).
Any chance you could add an option to specify the width of the virtual screen without fixed ratio restrictions? 4096 x 2160 is my go to, 5120 x 2160 at 21:9 is as close as I can get now without sacrificing height, and it’s a tad too much for my rig.
Thanks!
jazare you saying the latest vorpx version supports Arc Raiders? I don’t see the game in supported games list on the website
would be nice to get a download for this software that I own, requested few times in like a month.. cant contact anyone directly so here I am asking now
At least one download link has been sent recently to the mail address you used to reqister here. Please check your spam folder and/or add vorpx.com to the whitelist in your mail provider’s spam filtering options to avoid future problems like this.

Hi Ralph,
Having a Pimax Light and soon a Pimax Air Dream, I appreciate the Virtual monitor with higher custom resolutions but I can’t make make it proper work.
Where canI see and how do I choose a specific custom high resolution (or even the predifined above 4k res)?
For example in Metro Exodus, in game’s vorpx overlay I only see nice/ultra game settings but it changes nothing in game, it always looks low res. Only way I found is disable desktop viewer to use my 4k tv res 2160p, but I want to go higher & 1:1 resolution
CheersHi, could you please explain some lines of the changelog?
v25.1.3 for example:
– Battlefield 2 could crash on map load.
– some games could crash on CPUs with more than 12 cores.
…
– DX9: some FPS lost since quite a while have been reclaimed (eg. Skyrim).
– DX11: Z3D did not work anymore in several games (e.g. COD Black Ops III).or v25.1.4
– Z3D could break in some games after taking off the headset.
– some games could crash with Windows display scaling set to 150/175.
– some games could crash on audio device change (25.1.3 regression)or v25.1.5:
– headset audio device switching did not work anymore.Do these lines describe bugs that were fixed, or issues that were discovered / introduced?
@ chtiblue
IIRC another Pimax user recommended to turn off fixed foveated rendering in the Pimax software regarding a similar issue. Doesn‘t really make sense performance wise with vorpX anyway since games always render at their own resolution. Foveated rendering only applies to vorpX’s second render step where the final image is sent to the headset, which costs almost nothing compared to the actual game rendering.
Also make sure that the virtual monitor is actually active. It‘s not active when you just launch a game from your normal Windows desktop. You can activate it e.g. by launching the vorpX desktop viewer and putting on your headset.
@ 333hronos
Fixed obviously.
@Ralph,
Thanks but I don’t use Pimax foveated rendering nor gpu scaling.
And yes I’m using Vorpx desktop viewer with virtual monitor activated.
In virtual monitor settings I ticked “add predifined resolutions above 4k” and even add a custom 2880×2800 resolution.
But ingame settings didn’t show any of those above 4k resolutions and putting game settings to nicer or ultra doesn’t change the resolution of the game.
How do I change game resolution with Vorpx overlay? And how do I know which resolution is the game rendering?
It would be nice to have a slider resolution like in other VR mods (UEVR or Luke Ross etc)Other thing is when I use the VR detection from Vorpx in Metro, my view in headset is not free like it should in VR, I had this in other game and had to sxitch Vr memory off in Vorpx to get the normal free view but it doesn’t work with Metro Exodus…
Ok I figured some things :)
I don’t know why but this time all the resolutions appeared in game video settings.
To free my view with the headset I had to crankd up headset sensitivity to 4.0 way more than usual.Only problem I still have is with Vorpx my Xbox controller isn’t properly working in game when it works perfect without Vorpx. With Vorpx interaction keys always switch to keyboard keys so it’s a pita to use inventory, open doors etc…
If I override Xbox controller in Vorpx, it changes keys or doesn’t respond at all
