World of Warcraft TWW

Trying to get VorpX working with the latest World of Warcraft retail build (The War Within expansion). Just hoping for immersive screen mode with some nice stereo depth. Following this youtube tutorial…

They seem to have gotten rid of the “DirectX11 Legacy” option in the latest patch, so I had to select “DirectX11”.

Set to windowed mode.

When launching WoW, I got a “Unexpected Error” about a d3d12.dll in the install folder. The popup suggested I rename it, so I did.

Relaunched WoW, and I got the “Attaching to Wow.exe” popup, no error this time, but…

It launched SteamVR (using a Pimax8kX), and I see the SteamVR void/loading area in my headset, the game window launches on my desktop (I also hear the WoW music in my headphones), but no game in the headset. The VorpX controls (delete key) don’t seem to do anything (no VorpX overlay in the upper left corner of the WoW window, like he gets in his tutorial video).

Has anyone been able to get WoW working with the latest patch? I’m really hoping to figure this out in time for the new expansion (launching next week).

Thanks for any help!

If the D3D11 Legacy option had been removed, you’re out of luck for the time being. At least as far as Geometry 3D is concerned. The other D3D11 renderer doesn’t play nice with vorpX. I’ll take a look at it for the next vorpX update, but no promises.

I was able to get it to work (with all the same warnings above about Dx12).

Once launched, I set it to DirectX 11 and VorpX launched. I set the 3d mode to Z-Normal/z-adaptive and it seemed to work for a while.

I’ve never been impressed with zdepth mode, has anyone gotten it work with true Geometry 3D?

I’m also wondering if it’s worth trying to use dx12 mode but with the CyberPunk profile?
