Thank you so much for your replies! I’ll try it again tomorrow too.

jonny panic, I just tried but it doesn’t give me the usual “this game supports Geometry 3d” popup window.

Basically, I made a copy of “unreal.exe” and renamed it “haloce.exe”. I don’t see any “Deus Ex Geometry 3D” profile in Local Profiles or Cloud profiles.

[vrbandwagon]

Wow, this is awesome! Thank you so much!

Ralf, now that we know it works, please take this into consideration and update VorpX to have Unreal 1’s support.

Demosthenes, Thank you for your reply.

Alright, I’ll check your links and see if I can make it work. But to be honest, the game still looks great to me as it is!

I’d love to have you revisit Unreal and share a profile. This would put it “on the map”. I’m sure you know a thousand times more about messing with config files and vorpX than me, so it would really be helpful to everyone.

I still have a problem with having to recenter with my mouse a lot. Also, using the menus with the keyboard is really driving me nuts. I know I claimed I wasn’t crazy, but things like these can really push me closer to the cliff of sanity.

…still no word from Ralf, though. He said he was a big fan of the game, so I still have hope.

Demosthenes, thank you for proving I’m not crazy!

>Perhaps it is because I use the GOG version and had applied the patch.
Yes! My version is the GOG version, too!

>By the way, you should also apply the high resolution packs to improve visuals:
Yes, I had a look at that website, but was overwhelmed by all the textures. Which ones exactly should I download to make the game faithful to the original but higher resolution? All the ones found on the page you mentioned?

Also, I’d like to know what parameters you changed exactly. Would you mind sharing your profile on the vorpx online profiles? In another post about Unreal, Ralf said “If it would work in 3D, there would be an actual profile for the game.”

Finally, it’s really troublesome to have to use the keyboard every time I die, or when browsing the Unreal menu. Any way to get the xbox controller work there too?

Thank you!

Are you shure this works with Vorpx ?

…uh, yes I’m sure! Why would I lie about this?

Again, what I did is:
1. Update the game to the .227 patch (DirectX 9, not 10 or 11).
2. Create a profile using the DeuxEx profile
3. Copy and rename unreal.exe to unreal_vorpx.exe (or any name you want)
4. Assign unreal_vorpx.exe to the new profile

Good luck, and please post your results here, so Ralf can “un-ban” the game!

p.s. I’m using the non-Steam version of Unreal Gold

Ralf, thank you again for your support. Unreal is indeed an amazing game. It was the only “next generation” game that could work on my 486 DX2. The first time I encountered the beast after each of the lights turned off one by one, I knew that game was different from the others!

I’m sorry for the n00b question, but how exactly can I modify a profile? I’d like to set it to DirectX 9 (as I understand, it is now set to OpenGL). I’d really like to try that before losing all hope, since I just patched it to .227 and it seems to be a HUGE leap from 226, even if it’s an unofficial patch.

I think if the game were to be supported by VorPX, it might just give it a new boost in popularity!

[vrbandwagon]

Ralf, thank you for your quick reply!

So, basically those so-called “hidden profiles” are there because you tested the games and could not get them to work, is that correct?

I saw this .227 fan patch floating around the Internet. I’ll give it a shot and report back here. I’m a n00b, so I’m not sure I’m qualified to determine if it officially works or not! So it would be better if you could try it too if I cannot get it to work, myself.

If I manage to make it work, is there a way for me to delete the “hidden profile”, or should I make a copy of “Unreal.exe” and call it “Unreal_vorpx.exe” and attach a new profile to it?

[vrbandwagon]

I’ve tried renaming Unreal.exe to DeusEx.exe without any success. My version is Unreal Gold non-Steam version.

When I launch the .exe, it plays normally. Should I select “Direct3D support” the first time I run the game?

VorPX works with “the Stanley Parable” and “Duke Nukem Forever” for me so far.

I would also like to have some more information about this from Ralf. There must be a good reason for this, so lettings us know the situation, and some possible solution, would surely make us customers happy.
