Are you playing in 3dof ?

Of which menu are you talking ?

You have an application with a shortcut called “Configure VorpX”, that you could use before playing, only one time per game, and only if necessary. You don’t really need it for every game, if the game has already an official profile (or no profile at all).

And you have a floating in-game menu. You can call it with the appropriate key.
In-game key bindings can be changed in VorpX Configuration before playing.

Important keys are usually :
– VorpX ingame menu
– Edgepeek
– Center Positional Tracking

If you really need to access the desktop app, there are a lot of ways to display your desktop in the headset (but it depends on your headset).
VorpX has a Desktop Viewer. You can launch game from it (especially with Beta, wich allow you to use any resolution/ratio you want on you desktop).

[Boblekobold]

I don’t know but sometimes you have to alt-tab some games (or select on task bar when available), if they’re not really “in front”.

Tracking issues are indeed related to OpenXR.

With SteamVR option in “Device Selection” I don’t have tracking issues.

I think the first time I used Varjo Aero I used OpenXR and I don’t remember having these issues (but maybe I didn’t pay attention in Full VR).

@Ralph :
Yes I saw this question in WMR and I have no problem with G2 anymore. Only with Varjo Aero.

[Boblekobold]

@Ralph :
thank you for your detailed explanations.
Let’s hope future VR headsets won’t use SteamVR’s OpenXR.

So one thing I have to figure out :
– does Varjo always use SteamVR’s OpenXR when it’s told to use OpenXR ?
– or is it a problem I created on my PC ?

When I was trying to reuse Reverb G2, I did a few things. I uninstalled OpenXR. Maybe I don’t have the right version.

In Windows (11) installed “Applications” list, I have “OpenXR for Windows Mixed Reality”.
But I think I had “OpenXR” instead at the beginning (after installing Varjo Base, I don’t know before because I didn’t checked recently).

Maybe I should look a way to reinstall a working version of OpenXR, but I don’t know how to.
For now, Varjo support did not answered to me.

@dellrifter22 :
thank you for these informations !

Can you tell us what do you have in installed “Applications” list in Windows concerning OpenXR ?

I have the OpenXR error on Bioshock. But with SteamVR VorpX option it sometimes freeze, wich it never does with Reverb G2 OpenXR (so with recent games I don’t think it would works very well, and it doesn’t seems to with Metro serie).
Did you try Metro Exodus ? I didn’t try much games with Varjo for now.

Wich games would you recommand me to try, that you know it works with OpenXR ?

[Boblekobold]

Steam asked me again the question about OpenXR, so maybe it’s not the problem ?

Does OpenXR works well with Varjo Aero in VorpX ?

[Boblekobold]

Thank you for your answer.

There is a switch button in Varjo Base, and it set OpenXR to varjo runtime (according to openXR toolkit).

But it doesn’t solve my problem. I can’t run some old games with OpenXR. I can run Metro Exodus but I have strange issues I don’t usually have (with 3D, etc.).

So I guess it’s still using this broken Steam’s OpenXR.

I tried to reinstall SteamVR (and deleting some files) but it didn’t fixed the problem.

Varjo Aero doesn’t track without SteamVR (and base stations) so I can’t simply uninstall SteamVR.

So I guess I need to find a way to change back this option.

[Boblekobold]

So Reverb G2 works fine with OpenXR, but Varjo Aero is now “broken” with VorpX.

I can’t use OpenXR anymore. I think it’s because I choose an option in Steam to set SteamVR as default OpenXR or something like that (SteamVR asked me, and it was probably a mistake to say yes…but I don’t know how to revert it). Apparently, It prevents me to hook games with OpenXR option, even if SteamVR application is closed.

VorpX still hook games with SteamVR but it’s far less optimized and reliable. Sometimes it even freeze (even on very old games).

I would like to know how to hook again using OpenXR with Varjo Aero ?

[Boblekobold]

I had to reinstall OpenXR in Windows Store, and it works again. I guess installing Varjo Base uninstalled it.

I suppose it will be hard to use both headset on the same computer.

[Boblekobold]

Is it possible to use Full VR with the free camera ?
Can you only unlock rotations but let the game control translations (to get for example Full VR from behind the character in a Third Perso Shooter) ?

[Boblekobold]

But why did they capped the FOV at 105 ?

There should always be a way to define FOV in .ini/.cfg files…

It’s stupid.

Thanks anyway ! I’ll try it.

[Boblekobold]

Hi Ralph and thank you for the update !

I have a little problem : when I mute sound, it keeps unmuting it. It only happens in Virtual Desktop with new update. Didn’t know VorpX had effect on sound.

By the way, I had a problem with old beta I still have with the update : when I launch Deathloop (It doesn’t happen with any other game), Virtual Desktop quit until I quit the game, so I’m stuck with my physical monitor resolutions (no high resolution 4:3, I have to play in 16:9 4k).

Happy New Year anyway ! ;)

[Boblekobold]

I think my problem is Deathloop turn off Virtual Desktop and Virtual Monitor, so I only have my physical monitor resolutions.

I don’t know why it happens with this particular game.

Use aspect ratio : strech , on vorpx menu in game

It deforms the render and HUD. I would like to really set the resolution I want, but the game does not propose me all virtual monitor resolutions.

[Boblekobold]

Deathloop seems to works well with Z3D (official profile).

But I didn’t manage yet to force the 4:3 resolution I want.

The game support 4:3, but it doesn’t show me high 4:3 resolutions (only 16:9 in 4k), even with virtual monitor. I didn’t find an option in blackreefConfig.cfg

Does anyone have an idea ?
