OK, did some testing and here comes the result:

In order to make it hook, I have to follow exactly these steps:
– run WMR
– run Thief 2014 from Steam, but only to the launcher
– run SteamVR
– run vorpX
– click on Play in the game launcher

It looks great and is indeed nice experience.

For some reason, vorpX does not allow me to switch to 2160p from the ingame menu. It changes the resolution to 1440p only. So I let it to set the FOV, set manually the desired resolution to 2160p in the registry and then disallowed changing game resolution in vorpX app.

Hope this helps others if having the same issues.

Hello,

I am reviving this thread since it is also about Thief (2014), which I grabbed for next to nothing in the current Steam sale.

It does not hook (I will investigate more this evening).

But what surprised me is that there are two pop-ups with the message that vorpX is attaching to XY.exe. I get just one such pop-up with other games (that hook OK). After some time the hooking times out and voila. Can one pop-up prevent the other to hook and vice versa?

I am a bit confused here. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Milan

Good news. Please keep us posted!

By the lack of 3D effect I mean that both eyes get the same picture – hence no stereoscopic effect.

If the game appears in your HMD and all is looking fine, then do not worry :-)

[apollon01]

Do you get also 3D effect with distant lands?

I mean with Morrowind and distant lands, vorpX hooks and wraps the image to my headset and it looks great but there is just no 3D effect.

Without the distant lands, it still looks great and all AND there is 3D effect too.

I think the whole discussion about distant land was about 3D.

Anyhow, great to hear you made it run!

Ralf, on the profiles note…

Is it possible to recall/use old official profiles?

[apollon01]

Hi, you ran into issues well known and not fixable (or so it seems from my rarher extensive research some time ago).

It is a pity as Il2 1946 has a lot of content.

[apollon01]

Ralf, vorpX keeps asking me on every launch. I suppose it fails to install the database update?

[apollon01]

Thanks for the Reply, Ralf.

[apollon01]

Nevermind. I bought it anyway!
It is on sale on Steam: SSE and SS2 bundle for four euros. A steal. Now I need to find some time to actually play them at least for a while :-)

[apollon01]

Thanks for that.

For head tracking, it is possible to use opentrack with Valve SteamVR as input protocol and freetrack as output. Just remember to disable the vorpX head tracking.

No matter what, on my WMR I am always a bit cross-eyed and head tracking is stuttery. The Valve SteamVR translated to freetrack and sent to the game is OK for rotation but does not work well for position.

Other than that – yes, it is a good fun nonetheless.

[apollon01]

Wow, such an oldie classic… I wish I had time to play them.

[apollon01]

OK!

Could you please make your comments on the SteamVR forum

https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/3/1637549649106668509/

so as to bring this issue to the attention of SteamVR developers?

It takes just a minute, which I think is worth the hassle.
Thanks!

Milan

[apollon01]

All is OK, Ralf.
Thank you.

If only all developers were as responsive as you :-)

In your opinion, is there a problem on SteamVR side? If yes, I will keep my bug report as is. If not, I will flag it as solved by vorpX.

Milan

[apollon01]

Great support Ralf!

I will test it only tomorrow and will report back.
