Hi.
The first time I tried to run Skyrim (clean install), it worked. However I had not yet flipped the display, so I saw a split screen. So I exited, changed settings in my control panel.
Now upon launching the game, the screen flickers several times and then an error message pops up:
“Failed to initialize renderer.
Unknown error creating the renderer.”In the oculus config, i have Rift Display Mode set to “Extend desktop to HME”.
In VorpX I have:
Device Settings – Oculus Rift Devkit 2
Do not use an oculus profile.
Show rift on DK2(and yes I have tried flipping the screen back via control panel)
Any help would be appreciated. I just received my DK2 a couple of days ago. I purchased it primarily for Doom 2 and Skyrim. I learned after my package arrived that Doom 2 (specifially GZ3Doom port) only works on DK1, so if I can get Skyrim to work, I won’t be totally bummed lol
Almost certainly the cause of your issue is a glitch in your vorpX or Skyrim config. This message indicates that the game tries to switch to a resolution that is not supported by the display device. Usually this means that either the Rifts display orientation is not set correctly or that the game is not set to the desired display resoution.
Please double check whether you followed all steps in the DK2 Setup Guide and set the resolution of the game to 1920×1080 fullscreen.
You have two options to use vorpX:
A. The convenient one (works with most games)
1. Set the Rift DK2 to “Extend Desktop to HMD”
2. Use the Rift DK2 as SECONDARY monitor in Windows
3. Set the Rift DK2 to “Portrait” mode in Windows
(might be “Landscape flipped” in Windows 8)
4. Set vorpX to “Show on DK2″ display wise in the vorpX config app.B. The compatible one
1. Set the Rift DK2 to “Extend Desktop to HMD”
2. Use the Rift DK2 as PRIMARY monitor in Windows
3. Set the Rift DK2 to “Portrait” mode in Windows
(might be “Landscape flipped” in Windows 8)
4. Set vorpX to “Use system settings” display wise in the vorpX config app.It is important to choose the right setting in the vorpX config app according to your display settings in Windows. It is important to choose the right setting in the vorpX config app according to your display settings in Windows.
Thank you. I followed the guide before, but the “Landscape flipped” for windows 8 fixed my problem. I had set it to “Portrait flipped” by mistake.
…I just received my DK2 a couple of days ago. I purchased it primarily for Doom 2 and Skyrim. I learned after my package arrived that Doom 2 (specifially GZ3Doom port) only works on DK1…
The latest release of GZ3Doom works with the DK2 (GZ3Doom1.8.6_i http://rotatingpenguin.com/gz3doom), and I understand that Doomsday also works with the DK2.
This thread is so old (almost 2 years) that literally nothing in it applies to the current vorpX version anymore.
If you have your Vive set to Extended Mode in Steam VR to use vorpX, please set it to Direct Mode (the default) again. vorpX like practically all modern VR apps is not meant to work in extended mode anymore normally.
And just in case: please also check whether you have selected “Steam VR (HTC Vive)” in the device selection box in the vorpX config app.
