TF2 gets to steamvr being unresponsive to hl2.exe, then just closes completely leaving steam vr idle.
(disabled steam overlay to be safe) No software has been installed other than Steam/vr, vorpx, nvidia driver, and the games I’ve tried to launch which include TF2, Vermintide, lichdom battlemage, and world of warcraft. I’ve read these forums extensively, there are no overlay software running. I had difficulty getting it to attach so I formatted my computer and reinstalled windows.
The full game comes out the week of November 12, so be on the lookout for further updates.Hello, yesterday I made the purchase for vorpx. The demo isn't a final release of the game, and as such might not represent all the features that Crysis has to offer. Graphics Driver: Nvidia ForceWare 169.04.
System Setup: Intel Core 2 X6800, eVGA 680i, 2GB Corsair XMS Memory (1GBx2), 750GB Seagate 7200.10 SATA Hard Disk Drive, Windows XP Professional SP2, Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. The image differences between the two versions indicate that they don't have an identical workload. The hacked very high quality settings under Windows XP were almost 20 percent faster than the Vista frame rates, but comparing frame rates between the two is pointless because it isn't an apples-to-apples comparison. The Vista version performed slightly slower than Windows XP at the same settings, but the difference was within three to five percent at the high and medium settings. Frame rate performance kept doubling once we lowered the quality settings to high, medium, and low. The very high quality settings in Windows Vista thrashed our GeForce 8800 GTX when we tried running it at high resolutions. Vista-Very High Quality XP-Very High Quality XP-High QualityĬrysis will most definitely join our stable of benchmarks for a long time to come.

Developers have gotten very good at working around hardware limitations to fake great graphics, so we wouldn't be surprised if the DX9 effects were good enough to simulate the results of a more "accurate" DX10 shader. We noticed some extra shadowing on the rocks in the Vista version, and while there are differences between the hacked XP shots and the Vista shots, we can't really say that one looks better. The second image in each set of comparison shots demonstrate what the hacked very high quality settings look like in Windows XP.Īs far as we can tell, the difference between very high quality in Windows XP and Windows Vista is quite subtle. Some ingenious users managed to enable very high quality on the Crysis demo in Windows XP through a clever bit of configuration-file editing. Crysis still looks good at high quality, but it's a noticeable step down from the very high quality settings. The game officially limits in-game settings to "high quality" in Windows XP, while Windows Vista gets an additional "very high quality" graphics setting. The palm trees, shrubbery, and grass create the feeling of tropical jungle more so than any other game we've come across. Crytek took plant matter to a new realm-a botanist would have a field day in Crysis. The beaches, sky, and rocks all have a gritty, real-earth feel to them. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to claim that the environments in Crysis come mighty close to photo-realistic. We also took some in-game benchmarks to see how the frame rates compare in DirectX 9 and DirectX 10. Crytek released the single-player demo late last week, and we set up a few test systems to see just how the game looks under Windows Vista compared to Windows XP. Crytek has tortured us for years with screenshots and short hands-on experiences showing off the game's wide-open world, with picturesque tropical battlegrounds, perfect for sipping Mai Tais or peppering random bad guys with automatic rifle fire.
