I may have been a bit harsh to say trolling.
I suspect I was in a bad mood, since I had been struggling with making working Meta account for my Quest. I remember when almost everyone’s Rift including mine was useless because Facebook had forgotten to update a windows certificate. It’s not so much the money, as the feeling that you don’t own what you have bought.
I actually bought the subscription version of TriDefVR. This was after TriDef3d had gone I think. I used it to play stuff that Vorpx didn’t cover. Then it tanked too. There are always alternatives, HelixVision, SuperDepth3d, but Vorpx is the most advanced.
I have invested in a lot of stuff that has since faded. I still have a leapmotion. I think that’s now in the processor that drives the Quest 2 hand tracker.
I hope if Vorpx does disappear it will be because Ralph is bought out rather than in financial difficulties…
By the way, backup your installation.
If the worst comes, it should work for as long as you have your current PC main hardware.
Future VR headset drivers, game updates, obviously would not be covered.Subject title makes you sound like you are trolling.
Vorpx is one developer. Not a company with 200 employees.
If Ralf went personally bankrupt I assume he would have bigger worries than your entertainment, ones that were real not virtual.
What if Steam goes bankrupt? Or Epic? Or any company you ‘rely’ on for entertainment?
iZ3D were a hardware company first and foremost, and they folded because they did not sell enough of the hardware. Vorpx sells no hardware, and you do not need it for any hardware to function.
I remember someone else on this forum asking a similar ‘doomsday’ question about end-of-life for Vorpx.
I recommend you play your Vorpx games while you are young enough and mentally competent enough to enjoy them. Seriously, life is short. You paid $40, and it’s later than you think.
I like the idea, but I’d also like some kind of current page that is a popularity tracker for current profiles, if they are recommended by users, and if they still work. Sometimes I discover official profiles don’t work and I do not want to bother you with asking to check them. [cough] Tomb Raider Anniversary menus [cough].
Such menus and dialogs often appear when you click the EDGEPEEK key.
It’s the way Vorpx gets around them sometimes.
I’ve forgotten what that key is at the moment but once found I think it can be remapped to something convenient.It is unlikely that Vorpx will support it.
Vorpx will ‘hook’ almost any game as just a flat screen, but it needs particular support to get 3D and Jupiter Hell is made with a custom engine that the developers invented.If you really wanted to spend time experimenting you could try this:

@LVNDSCAPEPlay whatever you like, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
The immaturity comes from someone who would post a video like that, paused at that particular point, and then insist others don’t engage with what he has just promoted.
@ Ralf
I don’t have any knowledge of such things, I’m afraid. Even with a bit of research it seems a little complicated. If I come across anything useful I’ll let you know.
You would have to choose something very small and light. A keyring, or a vinyl decal for the side of a pc etc. Even a virtal item just for fun to decorate Steam/Oculus homes…Or a bobblehead with your face on it for the car :)
I don’t usually do such things, but I would buy Vorpx merchandise like that t-shirt or a mug if it existed…
I recognized the screenshot immediately from my massive collection of older games.
In english it is called:Sentinel: Descendants in Time
Yet another old game I have yet to play (It’s still sealed) that I can finally enjoy in 3d because of Vorpx and RJK. Thanks!
Several people over the years have asked for Vorpx to be put on Steam.
But there is no reason for a single developer to use Steam and its DRM for a product like this.Vorpx is already very well-known amongst the VR crowd and has been for years.
Losing 1/3 of your income overnight and having to deal with the inevitable negative flood of ‘I hate this, I can’t make it work’ on Steam reviews, especially from the new flood of Quest users trying to create a pc experience on a mobile headset, would be massively stressful.
Tailoring Vorpx to deal with that level of user demand, along with the financial loss, would not only be detrimental to the program but probably also to Ralf himself.
As far as I understand, although I have not bought the expansion yet, this is the situation:
Elite + Horizons + Odyssey =
Native VR while you are in Space or ground vehicle.
Once you exit and go on foot in 1st person, a 2D screen.
Apparently though if you use 3rd person on foot and the so-called vanity camera you can get a 3D screen.
Interaction/menus/playing are not really feasible in this mode though.
I can’t imagine Vorpx could suddenly inject itself while the game is running to create a VR mode in 1st person. I’m sure Elite will add a 3d cinema mode for on foot exploration, but it is not optimized enough to allow that yet.
This looks very nice.
Does this mean that in Aliens Colonial Marines [show in video] the gun fov is also better when it appears? It seems better on the right.
It’s the one thing that put me off playing that game. The atmosphere and 3d is great, but the gun is huge.That usually is, as you thought, a .net issue. But it could still be Avast since you can never really disable invasive freeware like that.
If I were you I would uninstall Avast, given its well known history, restart and try again:

Windows 10 has its own in-built antivirus and malware detection that will serve you better and is far less likely to false flag Vorpx in the future and prevent it from working.
