You may have to run the DirectVR scanner (from the vorpX menu or by pressing ALT-L). vorpX can cache DirectVR values for the Half-Life 2 games, but the cache may be outdated in case of some game update.
If all works as intended, it should behave like the base game. Played the beginning of Ep. 1 myself two years back or so after implementing VR controller support standing with Touch controllers. One of my best VR experiences hands down.
Oculus supersampling does not affect the actual game resolution. Please do not use it, would be a severe waste of GPU power. What counts is the actual game resolution.
vorpX can adjust the resolution automatically for FO:NV. You should see a message about changing the resolution in the top left corner of the game window. If not check whether you maybe accidentally disabled automated settings in the config app. If you are unsure try a factory reset.
With auto settings enabled you can select a preferred quality on the DirectVR page of the vorpX menu. Go as high as you can without sacrificing too much performance.
To get the most out of the automated settings feature also check the “Custom Resolutions” section in the help, which contains a step-by-step guide how to add resolutions to your PC that it can not display normally.
Seems like you may have overlooked the laptop related part when you double checked the guide: the desktop viewer will not work on your laptop unless you disable the internal GPU since the desktop runs on the Intel GPU while your headset is connected to the nVidia GPU.
You may be able to launch games directly, but the desktop viewer will definitely not work with your configuration. If possible disable the internal GPU in your laptop BIOS to avoid any potential problems related to your dual GPU setup.
There are also still background processes running that may hook into games. Most importantly some Razer bloatware (FPSRunner) that almost certainly hooks into games similar to vorpX and may cause a conflict. Same for Skype.
If vorpX cannot hook into any game at all, there has to be somethong interfering.
Please also check the other, less usual things, mentioned in the guide.
If you cannot solve the issue, create a trouble shoot data archive in the config app after trying to launch a few games and send that to support |at| vorpx com, I’ll check whether you maybe overlooked something after the weekend.
One more thing you could try in case of hooking issues is activating the ‘Alternative Hooking’ method in the config app. It might help, but some games require the normal hooking method.
Also please double check (again) for anything on your PC that might also hook into games. If you didn’t do that already, check the pinned trouble shooting guide on top of this sub-forum, it lists various potential cnadidates and also some other, less common, potential issues that may cause your problem.
Please reinstall vorpX after removing BitDefender, just in case it deleted some files. Also remove any other “security” software you may have installed except Windows Defender, which should not get in the way.
That’s almost certainly some hooking conflict. If you use anything else that Windows Defender most likely your AV program although you may think you disabled it. Some more annoying ones flatout block Windows functions vorpX uses to hook into programs. Even if you disable the actual scanner these blocks may still be active. An example of that is BitDefender.
If you use Windows Defender this doesn’t apply, but if you use anything else try to uninstall your Av software for testing purposes. On Windows 10 Windows Defender will kick in instead. Usually more invasive third party AV programs are largely unneccesary on Windows 10.
Thanks for the heads-up. It’s not a placeholder, but will only work with the next vorpX version since it uses a game specific shader parser for creating stereo 3D that isn’t available in the current release. Shader parsers are written directly in C++ and thus new parsers can only be provided with new vorpX versions.
I’ll re-upload the database without the Sims 4 profile for now to avoid further confusion. You can expect support for the game in the next vorpX. Works great.
Let me know if/when the issue occurs on regular servers. Keeping things up-to-date for constantly updated games like this one is time-consuming enough already without checking beta versions.
Please send your trouble shoot data per mail to support |at| vorpx com and I’ll see whether I can find anything unusual. For some reason I can’t download your dropbox file.
Please also check whether the games run without vorpX to ensure first it’s not some general incompatiblity between your AMD card and the games in question.
Still works for me. I can only test a start area since I don’t play this game, but would consider it unlikely that things are broken completely elswhere.
Try a profile reset and/or full factory reset in the vorpX config app.
If afterwards you still have no G3D, please try to create a new character for testing purposes and let me know if you get 3D in the start area or not.
Please first check whether you added 2560×1920 as custom resolution to your display driver. If you did not do that yet, you can find a step-by-step guide in the vorpX help under “Custom Resolutions”.
If you already added the resolution to your display driver, you might have to set your desktop resolution to 2560×1920 before launching the game. Some, mostly older, games have the unfortunate habit of considering the current desktop resolution the maximum allowed instead of checking what is available.
A appreciate the offer, no need to send me a donation though. I’d be more than happy if you just would take my advice:
Stop counting pixels, you make things more complicated that way for yourself than they really are. A higher resolution will always look better, even beyond your headset’s screen resolution, but a super high resolution is worth nothing if the game only runs at 20fps.
Rules of thumb you should keep in mind are: 1. Resolution as high as possible while still keeping the framerate high enough to be comfortable for you. 2. Square/4:3 aspect ratio if you (or vorpX automatically) can set the FOV high enough to fill the entire screen, 16:9 if you need ImageZoom to compensate for FOV. That’s fairly easy and the best advice on could give in this regard.
Hope that helps.
Never checked it myself TBH, but if there is not even one cloud profile, it might be a case of some anti cheat mechanism preventing vorpX to hook into the game. Always a possibiloty with online games.
If the game doesn’t even show in your headset when you launch it while vorpX is running, that’s quite likely the case.
Your best bet in this case would be the vorpX desktop viewer with the game set to run windowed. That’s a rather poor substitute to actually hooking into the game, of course, but at least it would allow you to play it in 2D in your headset.
