Vulkan?

[dtdman420]

I know Vulkan is not currently supported, Are you thinking of adding support?

I would love to be able to play X4 Foundations and doom eternal among others.

Agreed, VORPX needs to evolve, Dx 12 and Vulkan games are growing.

[dtdman420]

Is it even technically possible?

It can’t be easy peasy to add in a new api

[steph12]

i’m not a dev, but i’m pretty sure Ralf will eventually add vulkan support in the future, now the question is, how far in the future.

maybe i’m totally wrong tho -.-

[skynet24x]

I support the question

[Dave]

For each api, it is a full time job for a single dev for about one year

[TheLastStarfighter]

this needs to be added because Star Wars Squadrons SUCKS BALLS

Whenever i am trying to play a vulkan-game with vorpX´s virtual desktop, it just doesn´t work cause whenever i click the game-tab, it instantly throws me back to the desktop! Also playing the game in windowed-mode can be pretty troublesome.

Now I am currently playing WOLFENSTEIN: THE OLD BLOOD and RAINBOW SIX: EXTRACTION (both running on vulkan) with bigscreen-beta and while it usually struggles with too many graphic intense games (the lower your hardware-specs, the more it struggles), it actually handles those two titles very well, to my surprise!

Still can´t believe such an AAA app as vorpX can´t handle vulkan based games as flawless as this “crappy” free app. :(

Try the vorpX beta, the desktop viewer has been rewritten entirely and should now also work with most (but not necessarily all!) fullscreen games. Also comes with a virtual monitor that handles resolutions higher than your PC normally can handle automatically.

Please also keep in mind that the desktop viewer is a free convenience app that you get on top of vorpX. It’s not vorpX’s main focus. Thanks for your understanding.

RALF IS BACK!!! Well thank god everything went well and you´re also done with any kind of possible post-surgery complications for the next years hopefully!

That´s great to hear! Thanks very much!

Of course i understand, i am also well aware that the majority of vorpX users are probably just up for full-vr/3D supported games and don´t bother with virtual-desktop-games at all, but i do, in fact i see the full-vr/3D support more like a nice bonus, since playing games on huge theater screens is already doing it for me. Also, vorpX´s desktop-viewer is generally doing a far better job with games (especially brandnew AAA games with better graphics) than those free apps like bigscreen-beta, thats´s why i was kinda shockingly surprised to see those two titles working better with it than with vorpX.

Go to my thread here if you want to get Doom/Eternal/Wolfenstein etc to work with Vorpx Desktop Viewer, you just need to enable Reshade. You will have head tracking, but not depth – Basically, you can use your head and controller in Tandem to target and for movement direction, etc.

Other apps and the Nvidia3dVision trick didnt include headtracking for me.

I didnt have to downgrade any of my graphics options, was still running it about 1440p maxed out except raytracing

Thanks for this info, even if the new version of vorpX´s desktop-viewer is doing a better job after its updates. You never now what complications could be caused with certain hardware specs, so every info regarding optional workarounds, is welcome!
