>> HUD & shader authoring :
Thank you I’ll try (I didn’t know that).

>> Main Eye :

It seems I didn’t explained clearly.

I have used “Main Eye” option with other games. My main eye is the right one, so I usually use “Right” or “Off”.

But with Call Of Pripyat :
– when I use “Right” -> it doesn’t work as intended : it align with my left eye (I have to close my right eye to aim).
– when I use “Left” -> it doesn’t work.
– when I use “Off” -> it’s not centered (I think it is with Metro Exodus, for example).

It wouldn’t bother me if my main eye was the left one (I would choose “Right” for this particular game and it would be Ok, but since my main eye is the right one, my only option is to close my main eye everytime I want to aim accurately).

I didn’t try Fallout 4, but :
– you may have to adjust Zoom in Full VR settings (unzoom).
– there is a tab “Restore Game settings” in config app if you need it.
– there is also a checkbox “Don’t optimize game settings” if you want to configure manually. In this case, 90 FOV isn’t enough. I usually set it to 105-120 horizontal on my Reverb G2 with a very high 4:3 resolution like 3840×2880 (it depends on your VR headset of course). You could try 110.

90 FOV can be a lot in games which use vertical FOV but I think Fallout 4 FOV is horizontal.

VorpX V24 allow you to use any resolution you want with virtual monitor (launch VorpX Desktop Viewer instead of VorpX, and adjust desktop resolution if needed).

And other game engines work ?

[Boblekobold]

Did you try to simply alt-tab ? Maybe the game isn’t at the top.

[Boblekobold]

It seems it’s also possible to use Reshade + VorpX Desktop Viewer.

Elden Ring worked with V23, so it probably works with V24.

You have a lot of tips here :

If it wasn’t working anymore, I don’t think I would play Shadow of the Erdtree without VorpX.

But if you don’t care about 3D (Z3D), you can still play with virtual monitor (I think I could, it wasn’t bad without 3D and I disabled it sometimes, not very often).

When I tried Elden Ring (on projector), I was disappointed after Sekiro, and I decided to not play it after 1-2 hours.

Then I tried it with VorpX (thinking it wasn’t going to be better). And I finished the game.

[Boblekobold]

I used the checkbox “Don’t optimize game settings” in VorpX config app with Metro 2033 original.
If you configure manually, you can check it.

There is also a checkbox in the Virtual Monitor tab “Add predefined resolution above 4k” than you can use (but be careful with Last Light Redux, this game is very demanding compared to Metro Exodus, at least in G3D). You can also add your custom resolutions.

[Boblekobold]

If you’re speaking about ClarityFX, it always worked for me at full (so does sharpness and texture enhancement, but this last one only in G3D). Maybe it needs a minimal resolution ?

I think there is also an option which affect texture resolution in official profiles.

[Boblekobold]

Metro games (other than Metro Exodus) are very easy to configure, from my experience. You don’t have to choose a profile, VorpX will use official one automatically.

Last one I tried was Metro 2033 original, but if I remember well, it must be the same thing with Last Light Redux.

If you don’t simply use DirectVR scan, you can :
– launch VorpX Desktop Viewer (with V24)
– choose a very high resolution (4:3 for Quest 3 and Reverb G2 but it depends on the VR headset) on your virtual monitor with Windows “Display” options. You have a button to identify the number of the virtual monitor in Windows.
– launch game

Before the first launch :
– edit game cfg/ini files to have windowed mode. You can also configure the resolution you want here if needed, and the FOV (metro games use vertical FOV, so 90 vertical = 120 horizontal in 4:3).

As usual, FOV must be very high (105-120 horizontal min, or 78 to 90 vertical).

Most of the time, the resolution must be equal or lower to the virtual monitor resolution, because you play windowed.

Remember VorpX will only give you the ability to choose G3D if you launch the game in DX9 or DX11. You’ll only have Z3D with other choices. I don’t think Metro Redux give you a choice, but with Metro 2033 original, you can choose DX9 or DX10 (and DX9 works great !)

For Metro Exodus (if someone else read this post) :
https://www.vorpx.com/forums/topic/metro-exodus-enhanced/

You don’t need the game to be in windowed mode in Metro Exodus because you can define ratio in game video settings but you need it in most other Metro games I think (except if the ratio of your physical monitor is the same as your VR headset).
Most other games (not Metro), use the ratio corresponding to the choosen resolution. So you usually don’t need to worry about it.

There are recent tips regarding this game here :

Newbie with Vorpx, some technical questions

[Boblekobold]

With the unofficial “Ennchanted” cloud profile (not with the official profile which works instantly), I have to wait a bit after the intro (around 15 seconds) then the main menu appears. It may be longer if you have an older computer.

[Boblekobold]

I’m not sure an RTX 3070 is a good graphic card to play Metro Exodus in VR.

I would recommand an RTX4090 if you want to get optimal result with a Reverb G2, or at least RTX4080.
Most other headsets (Quest 3, etc.) are more demanding and will get worse results with same graphic card.

It’s a very optimized game (at least Standard Edition), but it’s still probably the most beautiful one we can play smoothly in VR, even with an RTX4090.

[Boblekobold]

Sometimes, you may have to alt-tab (or alt-tab-tab a few times at worse) a game to make sure it’s currently on top and playable.

[Boblekobold]

It works for me.

Is it Standard Edition (V1.0.0.7) or Enhanced Edition ? Steam version or else ?

You should use VorpX V24. Virtual Monitor is very useful with Metro games (unless you have the same ratio and resolution on your VR headset and your physical monitor, but I doubt it).

There are a few subtleties because there are a lot of versions of this game, and a lot of ways to play this game with VorpX, but it should work. At worse, when a game doesn’t hook, remember you can always use VorpX Desktop Viewer without hooking (“Pause Watcher” or Exclude Game), but you won’t have 3D, etc.

But with Metro Exodus I recently tried VorpX with a lot of versions, and it was always working.

All informations are here :

Is Metro Exodus Enhanced working for anybody?

[Boblekobold]

If you don’t care about 3D, you can always play with Desktop Viewer (“Pause Watcher” or exclude game).

You can also try different profiles until one works.
