For me the best currently are Bioshock 1 and 2, and Dear Esther. This work almost as good as any native VR app in terms of pressence. I’ve had some success with others like Metro 2033, System Shock 2, Stanley Parable, Aliens Colonial Marines, but they cannot beat those mentioned.
I would kill for Vorpx allowing to hook any game in geometry 3d ala Tridef/3d vision, just give a big huge warning about it being unsopported etc. , and hopefully we can tweak it to make it work. Let us do the dirty work to test and tweak games and so increase the supported game list.
I’m interested in this also. I’m getting awful performance in geometry mode even for several years old games with a 7970. This is actually my biggest problem with Vorpx, since even though I’ve been able to properly configure many games, most of them are unplayable.
I haven’t tried Bioshock 2 with DK2 but it worked great with DK1 so I suppose it runs really well. It also has a profile for it in Vorpx config.
I didn’t have any problems getting Vorpx config menu ingame, so that’s new to me sorry.
Afaik fame profiles are specific configurations for those games that config them automatically, so you don’t have to tweak them in the Vorpx menu, those games that aren’t there will have to be tweaked manually, at least that’s how I understand it.
I don’t have any issues with vertical distortion, is VSYNC on in the config?
Remember to also click the middle mouse button when you open the Vorpx options with DEL. That will start the edge peek mode and zoom out the screen, allowing you to config things more easily and look around the in game screen for things in the corners.
Haven’t tried those two games, sorry. Are you sure Vorpx is running, do you see the vorpx icon on the windows bar? You can create a shortcut from the Vorpx menu to make it work better. I hear that the are issues with Origin overlay, so try to turn it off for B4. Finally, since this has happened to me a few times, check that bloq num isn’t blocking your DEL button.
The middle button is used for edge peek, it allows you to see the full screen of the game while moving your head, very useful to check the HUD in game, and when you click it back you are again in the normal game view. Still edge peek may look a bit weird, so perhaps you were using only that view.
I suggest you try Bioshock 1, it has a profile in config options so it’s very easy to setup, it looks fantastic and performance is really good. Also Dear Esther works great for me, really good sense of presence, great performance.
As always use 1080p and max the fov in the game config if available. 3d FOV in vorpx settings works great but don’t max it since it creates graphic issues. That and 3d strength are the main things I tweak to get a good sense of immersion and scale.
One little detail though, when you look up it somehow fixes the view and you lose free look, I don’t think it’s vorpx fault, just that the game works like that.
Ok so after trying it, the game looks great to me once you set up the fov to maximum. However it has the ugly habit of resetting the FOV constantly, so even though you may have changed it at the beginning, it goes back to minimum when you’re in-game. Remember to hit the middle button to go back to the game. Other than that, the game looks perfect as is, I tweaked a bit the 3d effect but not that much.
Also any kind of AA kills the performance.
The big problem for me is that if you keep walking forward, when you’re about to cross a door that gets you in a room with another two doors, the game freezes. I’ve tried twice, same result.
Your best option for a WW2 game working with Vorpx is Call of Duty World at War, although I don’t know if it will have 3d at all.
