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.
I tried a bunch of profiles before with no success. To date the game is the only one in existence that uses the Monolith Firebird engine, so there may not be a profile that will work.
For the dx11 version of the game, you can use the Unity base profile for G3D. For Z3D you can use Metro Exodus.
I put together a G3D profile that is fully adjustable, on my machine at least. You can download it from the cloud.
The error occurred when I tried to add an executable to an existing custom profile. The application paused briefly (as if it were waiting for a lock to be released)), then the window disappeared.
The config app is very unstable on my machine. I have to kill the orphaned process and restart it frequently. I’ve got a backup job running on the profiles file so I don’t lose data again.
Anyway, I think my machine is to blame, not your app. In a previous life I wrote C# code for a living and I’ve got multiple versions of visual studio installed. I really don’t know what’s in my installed .net framework anymore, but there’s probably something in my machine config that vorpx doesn’t like.
The unity patch just fixes some common lighting and shadows problems. I’ve had zero luck with getting anything to work with helixmod, but that’s beside the point.
I uploaded a G3D Profile for the game. Maybe it’ll work for you – I didn’t spend much time on it but fixed the HUD and some shadows. It’s best to use cinema mode if you’re using a controller.
Sounds like your in VR mode. Hit the DEL key or left thumbstick on your controller to bring up the menu and change your mode to cinema. Configure input options, screen distance, blah blah blah to suit your preferences.
