    Oh, nope you’re right. I sent it yesterday :P It’s been a long week, and it’s only Tuesday…

    I wasn’t being impatient, I promise! Guess it does kind of sound that way. Sorry! I just happened to think about that and was curious.

    Direct mode didn’t fix it. I sent in my troubleshoot file a few days ago.

    Is it possible it has anything to do with the drive the program’s installed on? I installed it on my E drive, not my C.

    I suspect I’m having the same problem. I’ve tried both half-life 2 and portal 2 and both (usually) give me an error stating “Failed to create D3D Device!” and close. When they don’t give me that error I just get audio and a black screen on the HMD. I finally got Skyrim to load into the intro stuff, but I only get audio and it sticks on the Bethesda logo with no actual menu. I tried disabling the intro video and then it just sticks on the imperial symbol with no menu text.

    In both cases I’ve tried swapping to the vive as my primary display. That’s how I got Skyrim to load into the main menu, but both HL2 and Portal 2 still didn’t work. Setting the game resolutions to the vive’s native resolution had no effect. Disabling steam overlay and SteamVR theater mode had no effect.

    My vorpx install is a relatively fresh install (within the last two weeks) and I reinstalled Skyrim to see if that helped but not portal 2 or HL2. Neither vorpx or steam are run as administrator.
