Did you follow the steps in the DK2 Setup Guide in the vorpX help? It explains two possible setups for getting the image to the Rift (short version below). You can also select the output adapter in the FSX graphics options.
Regarding looking around: you have to be in a cockpit view and then enable mouselook. The default FSX shortcut for that is [SHIFT][O] (Oscar).
You have two options to use vorpX:
A. The convenient one (works with most games)
1. Set the Rift DK2 to “Extend Desktop to HMD”
2. Use the Rift DK2 as SECONDARY monitor in Windows
3. Set the Rift DK2 to “Portrait” mode in Windows
(might be “Landscape flipped” in Windows 8)
4. Set vorpX to “Show on DK2″ display wise in the vorpX config app.B. The compatible one
1. Set the Rift DK2 to “Extend Desktop to HMD”
2. Use the Rift DK2 as PRIMARY monitor in Windows
3. Set the Rift DK2 to “Portrait” mode in Windows
(might be “Landscape flipped” in Windows 8)
4. Set vorpX to “Use system settings” display wise in the vorpX config app.It is important to choose the right setting in the vorpX config app according to your display settings in Windows.

In case you guys are using a DK1, please send a mail to support |at| vorpx com to get an older vorpX version that does not rely on the Oculus runtime. Apparently some people have problems with DK1 and newer runtime versions.
Sounds like a virus scanner issue. Please try updating your virus definition files and if that does not help, exclude the vorpX program folder from scanning.
vorpX normally works with Windows 10. Just be aware that Oculus currently advises against using Windows 10 until an Oculus runtime is available that supports it officially.
I can only speak for the unmodded Skyrim. With this book content is a 2D layer and thus considered a HUD element by vorpX. Because of this the text is scaled down if you are using UI scaling and may be hard to read.
You can work around this by using [ALT][MOUSEWHEEL] to raise the HUD scale while reading books and then lower it again the same way when you are done reading.
Please do not spam the forum with the same message in multiple places. This does not help anyone.
Your issue might be caused by your virus scanner. Please try to disable/uninstall it and then reinstall vorpX. If this helps, you can reeanble the scanner and exclude the vorpX program folder from scanning in your av scanners options.
If that is not the problem I would go back to a Windows system restore point from few days ago when vorpX was still working fine. Since it was working before, that’s probably the easiest way to fix things.
For an end user it will definitely be a good idea not to install the 0.7 runtime on day one. This newly announced Direct Driver Mode sounds a lot more intriguing than the current direct mode though, so I guess many apps, including vorpX, will adapt soon.
The current vorpX (0.81) should work fine with the runtime 0.6.0.1 on most machines. Although I’m aware that on some configurations it doesn’t for some reason. The official release date for the next vorpX version is still “when it’s done”, but it’s not too far away. Definitely before the end of Q3.
Direct To Rift does not work currently with vorpX. You have to use extended mode. If the game does not hook for some reason, you could try to add “-32” (without the quotes) to the game’s launch options in Steam like suggested above. Definitely worth a try if the 64bit version doesn’t work.
Judging from your mail address your key has been sent shortly after we received your request code. If you didn’t receive it, please post again here.
Also make sure to check your spam folder. Just in case.
vorpX works with many unsupported games out of the box already, minus the Stereo 3D though, provided they are using DirectX 9 or above for rendering. For basic 3d support the renaming trick suggested above does essentially the same as applying a profile without game specific adjustments would do.
We may add a way to make profiles in the future. That’s not a priority though currently. Making a good profile requires quite deep understanding of how rendering games works internally.
A gamepad emulation similar to Xpadder is included in vorpX. It’s rather basic though, so an external program may be the better way if you need more fine grained control.
How to configure the display is described in the DK2 Setup Guide in the vorpX help (short version below). In GTA 5 you can alternatively select the output monitor in the game’s graphics options menu, which is the best way if it’s available in a game.

You should have received your new key in the meantime. If not, please post here. In that case something must have gone wrong.
I’ll look into it. Always possible that game patches break something. Can you provide some additional info? Does this happen everywhere or just in specific areas/levels? Also a screenshot illustrating the issue would be great.
If vorpX doesn’t hook into any game, there almost certainly is something on your PC that interferes with vorpX.
Just in case you didn’t try that already, please try running vorpX as administrator, in some cases that may be needed. For example if you also run games with admin rights for some reason. Also try do create vorpX desktop shortcuts to your games (right click the tray icon, choose “Create desktop shortcut”. Doesn’t work with Steam games, but hooks more reliable than the auto detection in some cases.
If nothing helps, please send a mail to support |at| vorpx com for some individual trouble shooting. Please include the below things so we can check whether maybe you overlooked something.
1. System specs (CPU, RAM, graphics card etc.)
2. A dxdiag.txt (run dxdiag.exe to create it)
3. A screenshot of your task manager showing all running processesIf that is an option for you, a fresh Windows install may also be worth a try.
BTW: Please do not spam the forum, everything is read. I merged your two latest threads into this one.
You have to enable multisample antialising in the game’s graphics options. Should be on per default, but maybe you switched it off accidentally. I would suggest the low (2x) setting for performance reasons. The game is a first class resource hog.
Apart from some minor color corruption in the menu background it should work quite well this way. Tested with the latest Steam version, which was released today I think.
