I have a DK2.


i REALLY want to show my housemate HL2, its his favourite game ever - I did get it working two years ago, but couldnt get it working recently :( anyone have a working method?



Skyrim & Fallout 4 in VR would make me so so happy, i've seen there is some VorpX support, how is it?
 
Chances are you did get it working correctly. It just never looks right. After paying out for VorpX, I made a determined effort to set it up in Skyrim, as people on the forums raved about how good it looked. I even deleted the game and reinstalled it so it would be back to the original. Followed several guidelines, installed mods to fix the big hands issue etc. And for the first couple of minutes I thought this looks pretty good. There is a good sense of depth and you can look behind you and all that. Once I got over the initial "wow" I began to realise that, it wasn't that good at all. Your arms never felt like part of you. Everything seemed warped, and distances to things were hard to judge. I didn't feel like I was in the world.

And when I went back and tried the game on a normal monitor, it looked much better and was much nicer to play.

Yeah, unfortunately vorpx is nothing like a good native implementation.

HL2 should still work in vr, does on my Vive, you have to opt into the beta branch AFAIK.

Only try if you have good VR legs.

I have just received a Vive, and I did notice VR enabled, but when I booted it crashed, but its an error I have seen before so I will try again. Thats great if it works.

I have good VR legs - apart from cutscenes, those things are just wrong
