Okay, no problem. It’s a fairly small thing to have to deal with until the next update or two. Thanks for the quick response! Now that I’ve got this stuff functioning I am just super happy. Vorpx is rad! I don’t get VR sickness so it bums me out that developers are avoiding porting classic games to VR because of how common sickness is. This is an awesome workaround. Heck even playing games in the theater mode with 3D enabled is super cool.
Well, turns out I just needed some more memory! Bumped myself up from 8 gigs to 24 gigs and now my Vive is working beautifully and I’ve used vorpx for a couple games.
Only problem I’m having now is that I can’t seem to save the Vorpx settings for each game? I have to re-adjust the FOV with shift+mousewheel every time I start a game, even if I’ve already set it, gone into the Vorpx menu, and chosen close+save. Any way to retain these values?
My Vive goes grey constantly due to performance issues, and this happens in official SteamVR software as well.
Are you sure this is due to performance issues? Mine only goes grey when I lose tracking (reproducable by covering the headset’s sensors with my hands).
You rig more than satisfies the recommended specs for the Vive:Recommended PC Specs
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 970, AMD Radeon™ R9 290 equivalent or better
CPU: Intel® i5-4590, AMD FX 8350 equivalent or better
RAM: 4 GB or more
Video Output: HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 1.2 or newer
USB Port: 1x USB 2.0 or better port
Operating System: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10You might wanna troubleshoot for better tracking (reflective surfaces? mounting rigid enough? Line of sight?)
I’ve done this unfortunately. It’s definitely performance. I’ve removed or covered all reflective surfaces, mounted the light boxes on studs about 14 ft apart with great visibility at pretty much perfect angles from what I can tell. No LED lights or sunlight… The thing that makes it clear that it’s a performance issue is that it happens more based on how demanding the application is. I can run Tilt Brush beautifully but games totally drag, drop frames, and ultimately drop tracking. It’s like the throughput of the system on the whole just isn’t adequate.
No big. Anyway, the problem is solved. It appears what was going down is that the config will not start before the product is registered, and when the desktop app failed to start, I couldn’t register, hence, no config. I’m all registered now.
Haven’t had a ton of luck with games so far but that could be down to my setup. My Vive goes grey constantly due to performance issues, and this happens in official SteamVR software as well. With new graphics cards and intel chips rolling out in the next month, it seems I will be building a new computer to use this thing. I got Vorpx a bit prematurely knowing I would probably run into the same problems with it that I did with games in Steam VR. I got Proteus started in Vorpx (had to create a desktop shortcut), but the display kept going grey. I went with Proteus even though it’s not officially supported because its graphics are not demanding. Alas, it seems they are still a bit *too* demanding for my barely-functional VR setup. I can run Tilt Brush in this thing and that’s about it.
For those curious,
i7-4770K @ 3.5 ghz
Radeon R9 290
8 gigs DDR3 (soon to be 16, this was the easy part to improve upon…)I think I’m running into problems with my motherboard, CPU, and GPU alike. The system as a whole just can’t roll with the VR experience yet. However it does look like when I get the rest of it working, Vorpx will be functional as well. Thanks for the help! See you all in a bit when I get my shit ironed out :P
Hey Ralf,
Thanks for the response. I don’t have an earlier thread (that was my first post on this forum), but I did send a support mail earlier with pretty much the same content. My problem is I am not even able to start the config app, so gathering any data from it isn’t possible.
After a couple restarts and doing the Defender thing I did finally get the desktop app to start and can now register the product, so I’ll start there and see if the config/any games will work after that.
AccessDenied – Appreciate it! The site is pretty clear that Vive support is in beta and likely to not be that functional but I was hoping I would at least be able to start the application :P
