Figured this out.
If Island Creator is started from the Steam library or context menu, then the issue described above happens every time a world is loaded.
If Island Creator is started via a VorpX desktop shortcut or from a cmd window, then loading worlds work as expected.
So this is something with Steam.
How to create a VorpX shortcut: Right click on the VorpX tray icon, choose “Create Desktop Shortcut”, then select: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\WorldsAdriftEditor\island_gen.exe
Disabled the Advanced Threat Protection in Bitdefender and put VorpX to whitelist in every aspect. It did the trick, hooking happens as expected.
It needs some fine-tuning, but works well with the cinema 3D display and Geometry 3D modes at 2560×1440 windowed resolution. Had to lower the graphics settings to medium and 8x FXAA to have reasonable performance. The HUD is a bit big, so I have to look down a lot, but it works and still fully visible.
Maybe buying a better GPU will help one day, but so far so good.
Thank you for your help, Ralf! Keep up the good work! Excellent software.
Keen (the developer of SE) should eat sh*t, because they abandoned the VR support they started to implement…
Thank you for the really quick response, I really appreciate it.
I’ve just sent a request to Bitdefender’s support to whitelist VorpX releases on a timely manner.
Until then I try to disable Advanced Threat Protection or uninstall Bitdefender as last resort.
No hook helper is offered after VorpX fails to hook. Not even in multiple minutes.
I cannot find documentation on how to install the hook helper manually.
I’m using Bitdefender Antivirus, but it does not report any conflict/problems with VorpX. I tried to disable its protection features temporarily, it made no difference.
