Thanks for the tips, Ralf.
I reinstalled, and before running it, I immediately reinstalled the SDK 1.4.3 over the one included in Vorpx. And then I didn’t fiddle with the config other than to set it to only show on DK2.
It seems to be running fine now, and I have a fun test session playing the first few levels of mirrors edge. I think part of the earlier problem was that I’d set the config to clone screens, and something in Skyrim didn’t like it.
It’s not a perfect solution, but as a workaround for using DK2 on older games, I’m pretty impressed with the way it works.
I have one more question, and one suggestion.
First, does the head tracking only emulate mouse movement, or can it be used like trackir in games that support it eg. Arma and rFactor?
Also, I’m guessing that anyone with a DK2 buying this software probably already has the DK2 runtimes installed, and those without a DK2 don’t need it. I think the Vorpx installation probably doesn’t need to download and install them as well, especially if it’s not the current version. At least let it do a check for installed/newer versions. Just a suggetsion.
I’m having some similar, although possibly unrelated problems with my install of Vorpx.
I installed it and it all seemed to run ok, albeit the view in the rift was sideways, but when I started a game (Skyrim) it put my monitor into 1024×768 resoolution, and crashed the game. Sorry can’t recall the exact error message now. Not only that, but afterwards, any time I turned on the DK2, my monitor and DK2 would reset to the 1024×768 resolution, and there was no way to return it to 1920×1080. None of the higher resolutions even appeared in my nvidia control panel.
Frustrated after an hour or so trying to fix it, I uninstalled Vorpx, but the resolution would still go low whenever I turned on my DK2. I ended up having to roll back to an earlier restore point just to get things functioning again. Needless to say I’m hesitant to reinstall it now, but I would really like to get it working since it wasn’t exactly cheap.
I suspect part of the problem may have been that I fiddled with some of the config tool settings before even trying it in a game. Reading some of the threads here, that may have been a mistake.
I’m running Windows 7 64 bit and the 1.4.3 runtime for the DK2. Please help.
