X4: Foundations – Anyone tried to get it working?

[Merkin]

Downloading now but I think it is Vulkan-only – does this mean no chance?

Cheers

I’m wondering the same thing….. any joy ?

[Merkin]

Didn’t get a chance – will try and have a crack tonight.

[Merkin]

As expected no go :(

Pity the gamne is Vulkan only.

What does Vulkan only mean? A profile will never happen?

[Merkin]

Apologies if this isn’t technically correct but my understanding is that Vorpx hooks into the directx or openGL graphics systems. unfortunately Vulkan is an entirely different system so Vorpx doesn’t know how to deal with it.

Ralph has stated that if certain games are Vulkan only (as X4 is) then he may look at getting Vorpx to play nice with it. However I imagine this may take some time so don’t hold your breath!

Well, I’ll throw my “pretty please” into the ring for this one. If Ralf gets enough interest, maybe its possible.

+1 here :D it’s an awesome game.

x-rebirth vr is on sale now (50%), and with a little mod you can play ALL x-rebirth in VR with it :)

Hey I’ve looked around for that mod but can’t find it anywhere – can you please tell me where it is?

Thanks!

It’s not a mod. X-Rebirth has a release that is made for VR:

If you use steam, I believe its on sale right now for 50% off.

I must admit, I’m a bit reluctant to buy it to try it in vr – of all the x games, they decided to convert the one with the worst review ratings? I’d have been tempted if it was X3 – Terran Conflict.

It sounds to me like Matteo39 is implying that once you have bought the VR version (which is a cut down version of the full game) you can apply a mod and (I’m assuming if you own the full game) access the complete game in VR.

Someone else mentioned this on Reddit but I haven’t found any more info on this.

No, i don’t have the complete game, and with a mod i can play all the campaign in vr

Are you able to point me in the right direction to get this working?

Seems this is what you’re talking about:
