Hmm that’s weird I haven’t downloaded any mod for it and I bought it right from Steam. But I’ll go ahead and delete it.
Okay thanks for the help/info about the controller setup.
And what about the positional tracking (for 6dof) you mentioned before that I should be able to enable somewhere? I don’t see the setting for it.
Appreciate your help.
I’ve been looking for some way to enable the 6dof tracking but I don’t see it anywhere in the vorpx settings. Can you point me to where I should be looking? I’m using Geometry 3D.
Also I got the touch controllers going for it. I prefer to play standing (partially for immersion, partially cause it’s healthier for me), and the touch controllers are easy to use (DS4 can be a bit finicky with more setup), made a custom mapping that I think will work nicely and let me do everything! One annoyance, maybe it’s not fixable, the left Touch controller analog stick feels kinda like a d-pad, or just weirdly sensitive or something? Like when I push it left or right I find the movement feels very sudden and rapid in an unnatural way. Anything I can do about that?
Overall, I have mixed feelings about how it all looks and feels, but I expected that, and it is quite beautiful and enjoyable as well! I’ve only played a small amount so far but I think I will end up playing the rest of my game in VR with vorpx! :) As the reddit user mentioned to me, it’s necessary to pop into immersive theatre every time you get into dialog or a menu, but I think I will be okay with that, seems alright so far and I’ll only get more used to it as I play more.
Oh and another thing – when I open the game I get an error message saying there might be a conflict between vorpx and a file in the pathologic 2 folders called “d3d11.dl”, and it suggests I may want to delete that. But the game seems to be working to me… so should I just ignore that? Or will it be improved if I delete that file? Any ideas?
Now I just have to convince myself to let go of my fear of complete failure and press forward in the game…
Check back for the next vorpX update in a month or so. If you see the game mentioned in the release notes, there will be an official profile. If you buy vorpX for the game in the end, I’d at least have its purchase price back. ;)
So, potential good news for you, I think this person has sold me on it ;p https://www.reddit.com/r/vorpx/comments/gq30sa/interested_in_trying_one_game_pathologic_2_anyone/fs2w7f2/
Wondering a couple things about the potential official profile.
(written by the reddit user) “What you won’t have is an unlocked head. In other words, you can’t do this and expect your view to change. afaik at least. I’ll check if you can; it’s a setting that usually is in only a few games.”
Is 6dof unlocked head something you could achieve with this game? Any idea if it’s feasible?
And it sounds like VorpX tends to work best with keyboard and mouse. Is it possible/realistic to make a profile that would work well with gamepad (DS4) or Touch controllers, although I think there probably aren’t enough buttons on touch. Pathologic 2 non-VR has gamepad support though.
That’s awesome, I really appreciate you looking into it to that degree. I shall absolutely be checking in here and there!
By the way I’m running on an RTX 2070, Ryzen 3700x. I’m pretty sure I’m running Pathologic 2 on highest graphic settings and I think it’s like at the limit of what runs smoothly, but it does run smoothly. So yeah I’m expecting for vorpx use I’d have to bump down graphics a bit.
It is a pretty hefty game to run, that is definitely my biggest concern with how it will run in vorpx. But yeah I’m super interested in how it would go, if it would be an enjoyable experience played however it could be played in vorpx. Playing in VR is healthier for me than playing at my computer screen, so if it were enjoyable I’d probably be comfortable making various graphical sacrifices. And I don’t struggle with motion sickness in VR so it’s mostly just aesthetic concerns I have.
I would prefer a standing experience too, but even seated it is generally better for me with the screen strapped to my head than my flat screen, as it allows me to sit in positions that are more comfortable for me.
But yeah, appreciate the expression of interest from both of you, please let me know if/when you try it!!! That would be really fantastic to hear about it.
The game itself in my opinion is absolutely incredible. I am about halfway through it as it is, playing flat. It is one of my favourite games of all time for sure.
