VorpX still "hooks" but cannot open application or "configure" any more

[wm79]

Hey guys, my VorpX can still be started and still works in games (so does the ingame menu) but if I try to ppen the application itself or the configure Vorpx option via the taskbar icon, nothing happens.

I cannot remember when this started, but I noticed it right after the update.

Any clues?

Addition: Desktop Viewer does not work either. The screen in the cinema mode is black.

Probably not the same problem that you have, but I thought I’d mention it.

I had a similar problem yesterday, I could start VorpX configuration just fine but it failed to show up on my desktop and it was baffling cause I had not had this happen to me before.

After some time I solved it, for some reaosn my nvidia controlpanel had set screens to extend.. I only have one normal screen (other that rift that is),
so have no idea how that suddenly happened, but changing it to only display on screen 1 did the trick and VorpX configuration menu was back on my desktop where it should be.

I think it might have happened as I was adding custom resolutions to nvidia controlpanel cause I had VorpX configuration open so that I could follow instructions as I went on. After this I couldn’t find the VorpX configuration on my desktop.

Please try to exclude the vorpX program folder from your virus scanner, sounds a lot like a false AV scanner detection. Unfortunately that happens on a regular basis with new vorpX versions for various scanners. Apparently this time even Windows Defender, which usually doesn’t cause trouble.

So that is strange. I looked into my NV system config and indeed there is a second display now and it is called “NVidia VR Desktop”. However, there is no clone option or something available and if I disable it, it will be back within a couple of seconds. I tried around a little bit but was not able to solve it.

I actually went back to old “Home” on the oculus Rift when I was troubleshooting my missing vorpxconfiguration app, and I pulled out the Rift hdmi from my graphicscard to see if the second screen would disappear.

interestingly I found this on reddit yesterday,
DatUnicorn01 asked : When I start Oculus Home, my PC tells me that I have a second monitor with 4K resolution. I don’t know where this is coming from and when I use the “Show Desktop” thing in Oculus Home and/or SteamVR I get to see actually 2 desktops but it gets all laggy.
I also noticed, that my monitor is expanded, when I start Oculus Home, but I can’t switch it back to only one monitor.

and Earthwin replied : If you’re using the Rift Core 2.0 beta, Oculus Home will now create a virtual monitor when opened for use in Dash.

so that factors in I guess, my vorpxconfiguration app was hiding on that second screen when it disappeared from my actual screen.

So there is no solution other than going back to old Oculus Home?
