The default profile didn’t really look great to me, it was far too zoomed in, and I actually did not prefer the head tracking option to the just plain old mouse option. In this case, Far Cry looks - interesting. Different games have different capabilities and some work better and worse with this software from what I’ve read. vorpX hooks into those games and forces them to be 3D-ish. Basically, you load WMR, launch vorpX Desktop, from which you can use your desktop and further launch other games. It is one of the “supported” games that I guess has a profile worked up for it already. I’ve only just installed it and am working through trying a couple light older games interested in what it can do.įirst up to try was the original Far Cry. I will be writing a review-ish of it for the main site eventually, but for now I’ll just be putting some non-exhaustive thoughts in this thread. At $40, with no demo available, it is a bit of a leap of faith to try it, and you have to want to tinker and have expectations that perhaps it isn’t the cat’s meow. I’d guess that 99% of the time, native VR is always going to be better than vorpX.įirst - DO NOT BUY VORPX - based on anything you see or read here (yet).īased on lots of reading on the forums and internet, there are definitely camps that are fans of this software, and a lot of people that really aren’t. Please use Offline only.So this will trace a bit of my initial impressions on vorpX - basically a bit of software that sort of psuedo-VRs some games that don’t have VR integration, and even some that do. **You’ll first need a working EAC bypass to hook this game, unfortunately. Running around and shooting feel good though. I wish FOV in vehicles wasn’t so narrow, but I’ve adjusted EdgePeek to be more suitable for driving.

To mitigate eyestrain, I’ve reduced terrain textures to their most basic.

It’s the terrain textures and shadows that do not yet align correctly. G3D is working as intended across all world objects. There are alternative Z3D profiles available if you prefer. I’m hoping the new tools coming later might iron out the remaining artifacts. This is still somewhat experimental and not yet complete, but is already a good immersive gaming experience.
