It’s DX12. It works well with the Death Standing and Red Dead Redemption II profiles – I think the latter works better but I didn’t test it extensively.
In any event, it looks pretty awesome. Haven’t got much into it yet, but so far so good.
The cursor is bound to the dimensions of the gui. If it’s too small, you can adjust it with the gui scale settings on the display tab.
Cinema mode isn’t flat. It’s like playing on a giant 3d tv. Immersive mode takes you closer to the screen, enables head-tracking, edgepeek (pushing the screen back out so you can see the hud), etc.
For most third person games these are better modes than full vr. Full vr works best for first person games.
Change your mode in the vorpx main menu from vr to cinema or immersive, or use the edgepeek key to get the full screen to display.
I don’t know where you got the idea that vorpx wouldn’t hook the game – it’s a directx9 game, so the odds are very likely that vorpx will hook it. HelixVision and whether it’s displaying in anaglyph on your monitor is irrelevant.
So, if you had assigned a profile from another dx9 game, Dragon’s Dogma for example, to the game’s executable, you’re likely to get at least Z3D, maybe even G3D if you find the right profile. Dragon’s Dogma is just an example – some profiles will work better than others, some will hook but not reconstruct the 3d, some won’t even hook.
Its a DX12 game if I’m not mistaken, so if Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding don’t work, you can try Red Dead Redemption II. I don’t think there are any other DX12 profiles. I’m kind of surprised that the Borderlands 3 profile will hook it.
DX12 games require a hook helper. I believe that I copied one (dxgi.dll) from another game folder (I think it was Horizon Zero Dawn) because vorpx wouldn’t install it.
Never mind. I was trying to use a mapped network drive, which doesn’t work; fully qualified names work okay.
It can be done if you really want to, but you’d have to start the headset service – for me that’s the oculus client. Then you would then have to start vorpx because the desktop viewer won’t run without it. Finally, you would have to start the desktop viewer. In between those steps you’d have to insert delays to wait for each of the apps to initialize. If you want to start vorpx as admin you’d have to setup a user account to do so and store the password in the task scheduler or whatever you decide to use.
tldr – It would be a lot of work.
Vorpx resizes your screen resolution to about 2000X2000 depending on the game. You’re going to get diminishing value going beyond that. 4K is around the equivalent of a 2.0 supersampling rate which will kill your performance.
I usually shoot for 2560×1440 – the resolution is good and I can play most G3D games at 40fps. If the game has built-in supersampling, I’ll set it to 1.25 to 1.5 and lower my resolution to 1920×1080.
tldr; lower your resolution to a reasonable level.
