I tried the new January 26 update of “Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR” with VorpX and it was hanging the game video. I was trying Titanfall 2 in Desktop mode and the longest I lasted was wave 4 of 5 in Frontier Defense (10 min?). I tried 3 times, and it hung each time. In between I logged out or rebooted.
My system:
Samsung Odyssey WMR
GTX 1070
Intel i7-4770K
HTC Vive connected – but that isn’t booting with SteamVR unless I disable the Samsung OdysseyRalf, you mentioned that the other Windows Mixed Reality headsets seemed to work fine, it could be the Odyssey. I happen to have a Dell Visor and did the same testing. The games hung (tested Borderlands 2 and Mass Effect Andromeda in the Desktop Viewer). I even retested with VorpX in Administrator mode for MEA.
Observations:
* On my last attempt I noticed the games video hung, not the desktop viewer (can move my headset around). I saw this earlier when trying to run American Truck Simulator (outside of VorpX with the VR beta). The game seemed to be running as I could hear the audio. On the monitor game window the video frozen.
* The crash seemed to come later (minutes into the game) than I recall when I tried with the Samsung Odyssey (seconds into the game). Not sure if it matters much if they are both unplayable because you can’t play long.dunkeroni, I second your finding with the WMR Samsung Odyssey. I tried DirectVR with Borderland Pre-seq, and Virtual Cinema with Mass Effect Andromeda. I tried both a couple time, with restarting SteamVR, VorpX, and the computer. It locks up after a very short time in game. The game itself seems to freeze as you can see your controller still tracked (that look like Vive wands).
I do not recommend anyone with Windows Mixed Reality buy VorpX until it’s officially supported. There is no way to get your money back, if it doesn’t work.
