    Could you provide more detailed information about what does not work for you in FullVR mode?

    Just checked the game for you, but couldn’t find anything unusual. With everything set to default vorpX automatically adjusts the FOV. All you, all you really have to do is choosing a resolution quality in the vorpX menu (DirectVR page) that looks decent without costing too much performance.

    Try to run it windowed, there seems to be an issue with the Prepare To Die edition in fullscreen mode.

    I’ll take a (brief) closer look at that, but won’t waste too much time on it, the Prepare To Die edition is hugely inferior to the remaster due to its 30fps cap. The remaster will fully work again with the next vorpX version.

    There isn’t really anything to tweak besides potentially setting a higher (4:3) resolution for better image quality, everything else is handled automatically by vorpX’s DirectVR functionality.

    Re the unusual start procedure with SteamVR:

    You have to launch the game without SteamVR running, that’s a unique issue with HL2. Normally vorpX should show an according hint if SteamVR is already running on launch.

    With SteamVR running on launch the game tries to initialize the SteamVR runtime for whatever reason, causing a conflict with vorpX. Simply launching the game without SteamVR running solves the issue. SteamVR auto-launches when vorpX initializes it during its init process.

    The game is Z3D only, Not all games have G3D.

    Configuring it for FullVR should be fairly easy unless you happen to have disabled automated settings. vorpX sets the FOV automatically under normal circumstances, all you really have to do is choosing a resolution quality in the vorpX menu (DirectVR page) thatlooks decent without costing too much performance.

    Not sure re your issue with switching to cinema mode. Try to reset the profile to default first. If you already have tweaked a lot, settings might be messed up. Shouldn’t really affect the switch to cinema mode, but who knows.

    That happens because vorpX emulates a mouse for head tracking in CP2007. When you play with a gamepad the game gets confused whether a gamepad or mouse/kb is used und thus switches between the both help overlays. A handful of games let’s you pick the help overlay to display manually, but I don’t think CP2077 is among them.

    The only way to avoid that in case of CP2077 would be to enable the gamepad override in the vorpX menu and then configure vorpX’s gamepad > mouse/kb emulator to your liking. Normally that’s just meant for games that can’t handle simultaneous mouse and gamepad input at all though, so my recommendation would be to live with the glitch instead. If possible, native gamepad input is always preferable.

    Since the last version vorpX comes with a mod for RDR 2 (as well as GTA 5) with the purpose of providing the best possible FullVR experience.

    If you just want to play in immersive screen mode, you can disable the mods by renaming the according files in C:\Program Files\Animation Labs\vorpX\plugins

    However, you might want to give FullVR with the new mod a try instead. It works a lot better than FullVR did before without the mod. Make sure to reset the profile to default so that everything is set correctly for utilizing the mod fully.

    The RDR2/GTAV mods provide:

    • Decoupled walk/look
    • VR-optimized cameras that get rid of nauseating stuff like head bobbing and forced 3rd person animations (e.g. when mounting a horse)
    • GTAV only: VR optimized vehicle first person position and an additional hood cam
    • VR-controller optimized FullVR control scheme that lets you move with just the left controller.
    • Alternate frame Geometry 3D
    • Full positional tracking
    • Automated FOV handling
    in reply to: Removing 90 FPS limit? #205734

    There isn’t a fix 90fps limit, the limit is actually the headset refresh rate. Going above that wouldn’t really make any sense. However, if you happen to have a headset that can handle 120fps, there’s no harm in trying that.

    Be aware though that playing games with vorpX can be fairly taxing, so you won’t really be able to play newer, more demanding games at 120fps. So in the end running your headset at 90fps is usually the better option for vorpX.

    I’ll definitely check whether something similar will be possible for Cyberpunk 2077. Can’t say anything useful in that respect though since I haven’t really done any research yet.

    On a sidenote: tinkering with timing functions almost certainly trips off anticheat software. Only use stuff like that in pure single player games without any online component.

    I can’t really explain it any other way than I did two times above already, sorry. SOME GAMES CAN’T HANDLE SIMULTANEOUS MOUSE AND GAMEPAD INPUT. So whenever vorpX has to emulate a mouse for head tracking, it uses its built in gamepad to mouse/kb mapper in affected games to deal with the matter.

    The only alternative to that in affected games would be no gamepad at all. The override is not some useless thing put in place to annoy you, it’s a fairly nifty feature that let’s you use your gamepad in games where otherwise you couldn’t use it together with mouse emulation head tracking at all.

    After a successful DirectVR scan head tracking is done by directly accessing the game’s camera rotation in memory (another, even niftier feature), so no mouse emulation is necessary anymore and the override gets disabled, which enables native gamepad input.

    The only way to record both eyes is recording the Oculus mirror window with lens distortion applied, undistorted SBS output is indeed only available in ‘Generic 3D Display’ mode.

    You can enable the mirror window from the vorpX menu (requires expert settings to be enabled in the config app). IIRC the Oculus app also lets you enable it.

    vorpX sends keystrokes while the controller override is enabled. That’s the point of the override. Since many games can’t handle simultaneous mouse/gamepad input, vorpX comes with a well featured gamepad to mouse/kb emulator to deal with such games. However, as mentioned above, after running the DirectVR scan vorpX no longer needs to emulate a mouse for head tracking and thus the game’s inability to handle simultaneous mouse/gamepad input is not an issue anymore. Hence the gamepad override gets disabled after the DirectVR scan and the gamepad works natively. the same is true for a lot of other games, including Bioshock.

    Can’t really explain it any other way, hope it was understandable this way.

    Game and headset FOV have to match precisely! for FullVR games, otherwise you’ll experience the distortion you mention while rotating your head. You don’t want to tweak any related settings in games where vorpX handles FOV automatically. Just make sure to follow the instructions shown by vorpX to the word if there are instructions shown and leave everything else at default. Neither any source game nor Cyberpunk show any warping at all with the FOV set right.

    For games where vorpX does not support automatic FOV, check the ‘Essential Hints’ and the ‘1-2-3 Game Setup’ guides in the help for additional information.

    vorpX doesn’t touch this setting at all. Skyrim is being played that way for years without anyone ever bringing up such an issue. As mentioned above, I also played it myself many hours. Plus the game actually still is one of my regular test titles. I’d love to tell you something else if I could, but this is not an issue that occurs under normal circumstances.

    There is no technical solution, but you can deal with the matter by releasing the forward button whenever you enter a portal. That way you come to a halt on the other side and can reorient if necessary. Works well for the vast majority of portals, except one or the other situation towards the end, where you might want to disable DirectVR temporarily (ALT+B per default).

    You can use 4:3 resolutions with a Pimax headset, but that won’t utilize the headset’s huge FOV fully.
