In fact as I just mentioned, it’s pretty obvious that such a solution should have been open-source, this is the only to run these kinds of project because of all the challenge it applies on a per-game basis. I abandoned using VorpX too because of the time I had to waste fine-tuning or finding scripts/plists to even have the obvious, correct focale, FOV, scale solution. I remember testing it with HL2, the result was so much obviously crap and unusable as such for anyone who would want to play it, that I understand people saying it doesn’t do what it says out-of-the-box. My point being that when you create any sorts of emulator, meaning your are not using a native solution but an emulated adaptation, it goes without saying that you’ll have to fine-tune the base settings of each game so that the experience is correct on 80% of hardware (between the Oculus and Vive it’s not that hard). In fact I’d rather compare it to an emulator…which they’re far from even though it’s a paid solution. It’s the best injector, which does not make it great. The Optimizer can also undo the adjustments with just a click, for when you want to switch back to your non-VR settings.

90+ games are said to support the automatic optimizations, and have seen improved and expanded settings profiles to take advantage of the new feature. The ‘Direct VR Settings Optimizer’, as it’s called, offers one-click configuration for a range of game-specific settings, including FOV and resolution. VorpX, which first became available back in the days of the Rift development kits-and now supports the Rift CV1 and Vive-has been updated to version 17.3.0 which makes it easier to dial in each game’s settings for ideal immersion and performance in VR.

While games built from the ground-up for VR are always going to yield the best VR experience, VorpX is a longstanding option that adapts DirectX 9, 10, and 11 games for playing through a VR headset, giving players an immersive taste of their non-VR game library. While there’s many awesome made-for-VR games now on the market, VR has a tendency to spoil us with its immersion, and make us yearn to be able to step inside of our favorite non-VR games too. Version 17.3.0 brings a new ‘Direct VR Settings Optimizer’ feature which automatically tweaks many titles for optimal VR performance. VorpX is a 3D driver which allows users to play their non-VR game library immersively through an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive headset.
