Well if you play in full VR mode (non-virtual cinematic mode), you may run into some zoomed in issue but can be solved by increasing the fov. Your crosshair may be slightly raised up. So you may have to force your eye and neck above to aim correctly. so i was wondering if you have the same problem as well. By the way you use htc vive?

Just wondering are you facing the same zoomed in issue as well?

[pamgpamg]

All right thanks,

Another thing about zoomed in issue which i have been trying to solve it for so long.

So far, Game menu is still extremely zoomed-in with full vr mode (Non-virtual cinema mode).

But During gameplay, it seems to work fine such as far cry 3, outlast and l4d2( not supported but able to tweak fov by console).

Other few multiplayer games such as battlefield 4 doesn’t seems to work when i set it in game setting optimizer. I don’t know about rift users, they seems to work judging from their youtube videos.

Really at the end of choices. Could use some help thanks. If all fails, i might consider reformatting. But again, that could be pointless, if nothing could change at all.

[pamgpamg]

okay thanks, seems troublesome if i do that. So what’re the step i am required to do? just send an email with my old request code and that’s it?

[pamgpamg]

okay erm about the reformating pc, can i use the old user and key sent to me? What you meant by having new key? isn’t new key are required if you changing whole computer or so?

[pamgpamg]

Also, another thing. If i were to reformat my pc in the future. Will the key stay valid as well? So long i using the same pc?

Htc vive user here, i think you can supersample it to 4k. But to be honest, i can’t tell the difference.

Hi ralf,

Just want to let you know i finally got it working with outlast. I don’t know how, but i read up some guide: disable steam overlay and desktop home threate and surprisingly it works. Values around 120 to 150 is comfortable for me. 160 or more is unbearable and screen starts to flip 180 deg upwards. Now the only problem is the game menu zoomed-in, is it intentional?

Gameplay inside outlast seems fine for me. Maybe full vr works for me afterall, just have to do some tweaking or stuff.

Game setting optimizer works by the way. But not sure for other games such as battlefield 4. This is the only game i got it first working with vorpX.

I quite confused with the extended mode and direct mode you talking about. Not sure what mode i am. But pretty sure i am in extended mode. Just got htc vive headset sorry newbie here :).

Hi Ralf,

Still no luck. After re-installing or so, setting to direct-mode cause more problem for me (red screen) so i turned it off for htc vive.

So let me get this straight. Normally everything should work if you download vorpX, afterwards go to game setting optimizer, set fov 120-130 , click optimize settings and save & exit? and just boot up the game? and no more zoomed-in issue? It’s weird, this only happening to me. Do i need to setup cloud profile or something?
FOV seems to work for me without the hmd thought. Sad, no more Full VR experience for me then :(

Is there any setup guide or videos by chance? A newbie like me need lots of guidance to get this working. Maybe i miss out any important steps.

Thanks.

Hi again, Thanks ralf.

I tried outlast without htc vive. Everything seems normal, fov all working. 190 fov turns your screen upside down. 130 fov seems to be the sweet spot.

The only problem is that i notice all games that i run seems to be unaffected by fov changes.

Need any help from htc vive users who use vorpX. :( stuck at this problem or issue for 3 days on.

edit: the only thing that work for me is the virtual cinema mode. But for full VR, it’s extreme zoomed in

[pamgpamg]

Hi again,

Yes, i can confirm OLGame.ini is in my folder file you have mentioned. I even changed some of the fov settings, open up ini file and it work fine and fov values has changed. But again, the game fov seems unaffected by vorpX. And i still have that zoomed-in look when i play in full vr. Virtual cinema works great. Maybe i need to close down some of the overlay?

[pamgpamg]

Hi again Ralf! Thanks for your support!

Okay thanks, i will try the above profile solution you have mentioned.

But for your second point, unfortunately game optimizer is unable to work for me. Am i supposed to set higher than 120 FOV? click optimize settings and apply and close? Because nothing seems to change at all. I still have that zoomed-in issue. I will try again and get back to you. Thanks.

Hi! thanks for the reply.

1)
Not sure what you meant by “performing any action that writes settings datebase to disk in the config app before closing vorpX.” Are you saying i have to edit the ini file or something directly in the folder? Is it located in the settings folder?

“Just creating a copy of a random exisiting profile and deleting it again afterwards will suffice.”
Hmm, i never encounter this before. The profile are you referring to local or cloud profile?.

I glad the issue will be fixed in the next version. Hopefully, because i facing issue such as in-game vorpx and game setting optimizer not saving at all. Is there anyway i can edit the file directly to prevent it from overwriting it?

2)
“A handful of games may overwrite those changes again if you change game options ingame afterwards, so ideally avoid adjusting video options in such cases after applying the Optimizer settings.”

For battlefield 4, even through i change FOV in-game. It doesn’t work at all. It still zoomed-in and unplayable. Back to the point 1 i just made, i couldn’t adjust the fov higher or lower in game settings optimizer due to the setting-reset issue.

“For games without the option to adjust the FOV with the Optimizer you either have to use the workarounds vorpX provides, edit ini files manually or use an external tool.”

Okay thanks, some games such as outlast won’t allow you to adjust fov. So i guess i have to tweak it by ini file. The only problem is the game setting optimizer, the fov doesn’t work, maybe it being overwritten or something.

3) “Unsupported games: Try to create a new profile based on an existing one in the config app (Local Profiles page) for games that vorpX does not support.”

I notice games boot up with vorpX if they run in dx9. Games with dx10, dx11 will not work at all and instead will display on your monitor instead of the hmd. Need some htc vive users to confirm it?

Thanks for the reply.

Hi hello,

HTC vive user here. It works perfectly in dx9 settings but not dx11. anyone wonder why? Can any htc vive user or oculus user confirm this? thanks

Hi everyone,

I changed to virtual camera mode. It worked fine at all, i still left a couple of problems.

1) Non-Virtual camera mode doesn’t seems to work for me. I still have the issue where my screen is zoomed in and i noticed that the screen are slightly raise up around 5-15 deg when i image zoom out. I aware you have to change FOV to avoid this, but it still doesn’t help when i set it in game optimizer settings. The settings would still revert back to its original settings for example fov 120 again.

2) Game compatiblity: Some games i noticed doesn’t work well for example far cry 3 and team fortress 2. What i meant is they didn’t start up with vorpX, they straight away display it on my monitor instead of my vive.

Any solution would be helpful, I still a newbie to vorpX and have much to learn.

Thanks
