Hi!

I think I found a solution, at least worked for me. The problem was, that for some reason, among special conditions (alt-tabing or maybe else) ingame settings fullscreen mode sometimes turns to borderless, and I didn’t notice that also happened in my game settings.

So, for me the following steps made it OK on DK2:

1. Enter the game first without launching VorpX, and you make sure to have these settings: aspect ratio: auto; refresh rate: 60 Hz; screen: fullscreen (NOT windowed or borderless!).
2. Save the changes and quit the game to desktop.
3. Set the rift to extended, and pause the service in configuration utility.
4. Launch VorpX (make sure VorpX was updated to the latest build).
5. Launch Far Cry 4 in offline mode.

I hope this helped!

p.s.: The game makes terrible nausea for me in the rift, however I tried to alter several VorpX settings (image zoom, vignette scale, etc). It would be really usefull, if somebody made a little guide about the VorpX options and how the lower or higher alterations of these settings one by one will take an effect in the game

Hi!

I have almost the exact same problem. I have new VorpX 0.7.5, I set the rift to extended, I use VorpX Far Cry 4 settings, apply them, I start the game as administrator, Uplay is offline, overlay is disabled.

The game starts up fine, I see the double images on my monitor with the VorpX logo and VorpX settings, I can start the game, I see the rift has the head tracking, but no matter what I do, I just can not make the game run on my rift, only on my monitor. I also tried to set the rift as primary display, and in VorpX settings I tried using system settings and show on DK2 only as well, but no luck.

Any ideas would be highly appreciated!

Thanks

Hi Ralf!

We have a little team, bought DK2 and VorpX all with the main intention to try STALKER COP and Lost ALpha initially on the rift, particularly, becouse STALKER COP is on Vorpx DK1 supported games’ list, and Lost Alpha uses a slightly modified COP XRay Engine.

You wrote above, that you are not aware of any reasons, why COP wouldn’t work on DK2 with VorpX. Well, we tried every possible solution in the last couple of weeks, but no results. VorpX doesn’t recognise Lost Alpha at all, and on COP only thing we get is black screen (sounds can be heard though).

So. I know, you have a lot of other works to do, but please, be so kind to at least look into this issue and make a response for us, VorpX customers.

Thank you!

Hi Ralf!

In one of your previous comments you said, that there aren’t any issues your are aware of, that might prevent STALKER COP to run on DK2 with VorpX.

Well, I tried yesterday several times, but no luck. The game starts, but the rift shows only black screen, no matter what I do. So, would you please take a look at it? A guide would be quite useful, f.e. the rift is primary or secondary screen, landscape or portrait view, what’s with the settings of OR utility (where you adjust extended mode, configuration utility, etc.).

If you found a solution, I am sure, that number of VorpX customers would highly increase, becouse as you know, Lost Alpha uses COP’s engine, and Lost Alpha will get an updated Developer’s Cut release soon. This will make Lost Alpha the best graphics and atmosphere STALKER game ever made, and lots of people will want to play it on DK2.

Thank you, greetings!

Hi Ralf!

By the way: I use these games with several mods.

In general: do mods have any effect on the VorpX and OR compatibility?

Thanks

[Szabby]

Thank you again!

All this conversation equals, that STALKER Call of Pripaty has a support from Vorpx also on DK2, while other STALKER games are unsure.

I mentioned STALKER Lost ALpha just becouse it uses basically Call of Pripyat’s XRay Engine. So I thought, if COP works on DK2, than Lost Alpha should also work.

[Szabby]

OK, just one final question than: STALKER – Call of Pripyat is a supported game by VorpX on DK1. So as a supported game, it has stereo 3D, right?

Does this mean, that if I’m lucky, I can play STALKER COP also on DK2 with stereo 3D and VorpX, OR I MUST wait for an upcoming VorpX version that supports STALKER games on DK2?

Thank you again!

Hi Ralf!

Would you please comment how you exactly mean: “there might just not be any Stereo 3D.”?

What’s the difference in experience and 3D immersion if I have Stereo 3D or not? Could you please define this for me from the technical side?

To be honest, I thought, that the stereo 3D images created by a game engine’s native OR support in result and 3D experience are equal with those that are created by VorpX.

But your comment tells me, that I will have to lack some part of the 3D experience using STALKER games on DK2 with VorpX. So?

Thanks very much!

Hi All!

Thank you for all the comments!

Please, if you have any additional thought, idea or suggestion about the STALKER games and Oculus Rift Dk2, please, be so kind to comment!

Thanks!

Dear Ralf!

Thank you for your reply!

Would you please tell me: does all this mean, that with the actual version of VorpX I can not run STALKER Lost Alpha under DX10 or DX11 on Oculus Rift DK2?

p.s.: there is a really huge STALKER community out there even today (Lost Alpha had been downloaded half a million times untill now!), and hundreds of thousands of STALKER fans all over the world are just starving to have the games finally made possible on OR. I know it must be hard to solve technically, and there are lots of “whishlists”, but please, consider all these above along developing VorpX and appointing priorities!

[Szabby]

Hi!

Thanks very much!

Does this refer also to Lost Alpha?

Do STALKER games have any issues on DK2, like buggy sky or anything?

Thanks again!
