I took another look and you are absolutely right. The weird effects were playing tricks on my eyes. I’ll update the profile with something along the lines of “I’m a dumbass and this doesn’t work.
SOMA is an OpenGL game and vorpx doesn’t support shader editing for OpenGL. Most OpenGL profiles won’t work with SOMA because it doesn’t implement deletable frame buffers.
So you’re not likely to find a better profile. HelixVison supposedly had a fix for this game, but I’ve had little success in getting any of their stuff to work.
I can’t get the game to hook using the Monster Hunter profile. Lots of profiles hook it, but not that one. I haven’t found one that works with G3D.
It uses DX12. I’ve been able to get it to run in Z3D using the Red Dead Redemption II profile but it gets choppy and drops to 5 fps at times or stalls completely. It gets really bad while content is loading. I have the latest greatest game patch but it still spikes my cpu and gpu at times, even without vorpx.
Vorpx is the best investment I’ve made in my headset, Reddit be damned. I read some whiny remarks from whiny people and bought the software anyway. I’m glad I did because it is awesome/magical/genius and cured me of my addiction to vr porn. Well, maybe not completely cured…
I started making a profile but was unimpressed by the game. The beginning underwater scene is pretty cool, but that’s as far as I made it before boredom set in.
I got curious about this and fired up skyrimse from mod manager 2 using the default hooking method and it worked fine, so I’m guessing that having to use the alternate hook in the past was something in my environment. I frequently had to switch to alternate hooking for various games, but the default method is working very well for me now.
I’m not going to get a Quest 2 because of the arbitrary requirement of having a Facebook account. I deleted my account years ago and have no desire to create a new one in order to use a piece of hardware. That’s just stupid.
Hmm, well I removed the vorpx components from my graphics settings, rebooted, and the problem has gone away, for whatever reason. At one time Windows said I had 2 identical gpus, one for low performance and the other for high performance, which is not the case – I think that rebooting with the second gpu disabled may have fixed it’s scheduling mechanism, except that it was more like 10 reboots later…
I only use the second gpu for my second monitor and as a dedicated physx processor or it wouldn’t be in the box anymore. Mostly it just wastes energy and generates heat.
Well, I was able to fix this by setting vorpcontrol.exe and vorpservice.exe in Windows graphic settings to use the gpu that I’ve got the headset attached to. I never had to do this in the past, everything ran on my main device and trying to get something to run on the second gpu was a pain. Anyway, Windows now apparently ignores the max performance for games set in the Nvidia control panel and does whatever the hell it wants. I guess ancient direct9 games are not worthy of my main gpu anymore, but opengl and dx11/12 are okay. I wonder if Vulkan made it to the worthy list.
Yes, I use mod manager 2, and it does weird things, the biggest of which is encapsulating the runtime environment into a virtual file system, which is probably why vorpx doesn’t see it being launched, unless you use the alternate hook. The other manager I’m familiar with is Vortex, which is Nexus’s manager, and it does similar things but uses symbolic links in the skyrim folder rather than a virtual file system.
It’s of little inconvenience to use the alternate hook compared to the cost of manually trying to manage a large number of mods without a manager. I know it’s a bit fishy, but it works.
I run SkyrimSE with over 140 mods and always have to use the alternate hooking method. Vorpx doesn’t even try to hook it with the default hook – there are no entries in the troubleshooting log to indicate that it even tried.
I tried a couple of the profiles from the cloud at 2560×1440 and 2560×1080 and didn’t see the problems use describe. Since the profiles are Z3D only, there is no option to resize the gui. But perhaps that’s what you’re wanting?
I found a profile that sort of works for version 3. The same profile doesn’t work for version 19.
By sort of works, everything was displaying correctly except for a hud element which only displayed in one eye, and you couldn’t switch the 3d off – the game stalled with it off.
