There isn’t an ETA yet, but it shouldn’t take too long anymore. No need to worry, vorpX is around since three years and will be for quite a while.
That sounds a lot like a virus scanner issue. Please disable your virus scanner and other security software for testing. If that helps, exclude the vorpX program folder from scanning. Most AV programs have on option to exclude folders.
If these games (especially Fallout 3) run at 30fps using Z3D something is not right. Please try a fresh install for both games without any mods.
In regard to VLC please make sure to apply the Game Optimizer settings in the vorpX config app. If that does not solve your problem, try MPC-HC (https://mpc-hc.org/), which contains a few lines of extra code for vorpX to make both programs work together.
For 3D movies you can change the “Content Type” setting on the image page of the ingame menu. vorpX supports side by side and over/under 3d movies.
For Arma III the vorpX Game Optimizer in the config app should be able to adjust the FOV.
If that fails for some reason, please follow the instructions linked below. You will need a horizontal FOV of 120.

For GTA please check the thread below. If using the vorpX image zoom is not OK for you, you will need an external tool (Flawless Widescreen) to raise the game’s FOV.

The only things that *need* to be taken care of are field of view and head tracking sensitivity. The Essential Hints Guide in the vorpX help explains how to do that. Get accustomed to these two most important things and then learn about more advanced tweaking later once you got a basic grasp of things.
Do not tweak too much as a new user. vorpX has many options, which may be tempting, but before you know your way around a bit you can *very* easily cause more harm than good by doing so.
That said, the videos below go through the options menu and explain most of it. The first one is a bit outdated, but most of it is still relevant:
That sounds exactly what can often happen with the faster options. I don’t get that here with the 1080 and an unmodded Skyrim, so my guess is the many mods probably push it over the edge, so to speak. If “Safer” or “Fast” don’t work out, just leave it at “Safest”. The other options are always worth a try for games that aren’t too demanding, but in case of glitches like the ones you saw the default “Safest” is the way to go.
Your order is marked as “failed” in the database of our payment service MyCommerce, hence they did not send you anything.
You almost certainly were not charged for this failed attempt. If against all odds you were charged (you can verify that in your PayPal account), please send your PayPal receipt to support |at| vorpx com and we will clarify the matter.
You can also contact support |at| vorpx com for a fallback purchase method which might work better for you.
>> the Direct rate shows 89.6 with no fluctuation. Could this be a bug
>> between vorpX and the new Nvidia drivers?That’s how it’s supposed to be. On Vive the Direct Mode frame rate should always be the headset’s refresh rate (90). A higher rate wouldn’t help and a lower will cause issues (flicker) on Vive.
The important one is the game frame rate. If you want, you can experiment with disabling Fluid Sync, which will allow the game frame rate to go higher than 45, but at the same time raises the burden on your GPU and may cause a worse experience than having Fluid Sync enabled. In general it’s better to leave it enabled on Vive unless you can reach something close to 90/90,
No need to worry about the missing 0.4 BTW , that’s just the counter not being entirely precise.
Normally you just have to start vorpX and then the games. If it runs, vorpX shows a tray icon in your taskbar.
If the desktop viewer is still running, please exit it either by right clicking its icon in the taskbar and choosing “Close window” or by using your task manager in case it does indeed hang and can’t be closed normally.
Your key has been sent yesterday, a few ninutes after you requested it, and a second time today to your outlook.com address. I will send it a third time.
Please check your spam folder.
The vorpX desktop viewer definitely only works with Win 8+ ATM, sorry. Windows 7 does not provide the functionality that is used to capture the desktop. Windows 7 support for the desktop viewer is on the medium priority list, but I can’t really say when it will be done.
Please check whether you maybe disabled head tracking inadvertantly. There currently is a bug that may cause something like that with disabled head tracking.
Great write up. Thanks!
BTW: You might be able to squeeze out a few extra FPS by changing the “Direct Mode GPU Snyc” option on the display page of the vorpX ingame menu from “Safest” to “Safer” or even “Fast”. If you don’t see this option, enable expert settings in the config app.
This is not recommended normally for demanding games since it can cause ill side effects if the GPU is maxed out, but in my own 1080 tests it worked fine in Skyrim with a ~10% performance gain where it is needed most (e.g. Whiterun). With your Titan X issues and glitches that can be introduced by that on slower cards should be even less likely. Not in every game, but definitely in Skyrim.
The desktop viewer is not required to start games. It’s better to start them from your regular desktop and just use the desktop viewer for web browsing or other desktop related tasks.
If for some reason the audio device isn’t reset correctly after leaving a game, you can do that manually in the vorpX config app. On the trouble shooting page you find a button that let’s you choose the default playback device.
