It resembles the previous games in the Far Cry series very closely with a larger open world plus a few additions in regards to weapons and wildlife interaction. Ubisoft, like always, has come out with a few patches early after release and I wanted to wait a week or two before jumping to conclusions about the game’s optimization.įar Cry 4 is an open world first person shooter adventure-action game developed and published by Ubisoft that has been created on the Dunia Engine 2 (a heavily modified version of the original Cry Engine). Since there's a pretty big spectrum of framerates people can get in supported games, that might help for headtracking to feel a little more responsive.There’s been a slight delay for our Far Cry 4 benchmark article and with good reason.
But I think it would be nice to have a VorpX setting (advanced setting) for Head Tracking Prediction Time (ovrHmd_GetTrackingState(oculusHmd, ovr_GetTimeInSeconds() + N), where the user can vary N). Not a big deal if the game looks right though, and it doesn't happen in the Z- modes).įor Ralf: I assume timewarp is out of the question with injection drivers, since you don't have good control over when the frames are drawn / how long each frame is taking to render.
(Although, in Geometry mode, the VorpX settings menu is doubled in my vision, when I get the game menu properly converging. It looks like it won't take much settings tweaking for the 3D/ scale to feel perfect in that game. For some reason, Z-Adaptive is slower than Geometry for me in L4D2. Super smooth / high FPS in Z-Normal mode, and pretty high FPS in Geometry mode too. Left 4 Dead 2 looks really promising (thats another one I've been wanting to play with the DK2). I got the 3D + scale feeling fairly close, I'll have to keep playing with settings though. I can keep 70-85FPS that way (with an i5-3570k and a Radeon HD7950) using the Z-Adaptive mode. I previously played through the game and had some custom graphics settings, so I reverted those (deleted My Docs\My Games\Far Cry 3\GamerProfile.xml), and started out with everything set to Low. Thanks, those are good baseline settings.įor Far Cry 3 it looks like the biggest issue is just keeping the FPS high enough for headtracking to feel responsive.
Those are pretty much my base settings for all games and I have a blast, the only thing I usually change is 3d reconstruction will be on Geometry if the game supports it (like I said FC3 does support it but for me it looks flat while z-adaptive looks amazing)Īnything I need to elaborate on let me know, gl If you just select OK, it will be temporarily changed until next time you launch the game. ONCE YOU HAVE DONE THIS CLICK ON OK and SAVE! this will save the settings for that game so that when you launch it next time you don't have to do it all over again. (this will make it so that if your mouse is inverted, your head will be the opposite, so when you look up in game you will look up, and when you mouse up you will look down respectively) (this is only needed if you play INVERTED MOUSE/GAMEPAD! as I do) Hit END to bring up VORPX menu in any game To setup Farcry 3 with Vorpx use these settings: (this actually carries over to most fps for me) but that's fine Z-Adaptive looks insanely good with little impact on your system for FC3. Once you have the menu up, go to your video options make sure you have max FOV, and also make sure you have Direcx9 selected.Īlthough FarCry supports Geometry 3d mode, I suggest Z-Adaptive at default settings, this gave me the most perceived 3d effect, Geometry 3d didn't for some reason. Only have to do this with Farcry 3 and Blood Dragon, likely due to the way Ubisoft has things set up. Launch far cry 3 so that it autopatches and brings up the ubisoft uplay launcher, then right click in the corner on the vorpx icon and hit "resume watcher" then launch the game. BUTįor me personally I had to right click on vorpx in the right hand corner and hit "pause watcher" Yessir, you need to disable Ubisofts IN-game overlay so that it will launch without crashing. I've really had an urge to play Far Cry 3 on the DK2, but no news from Tridef in a long time about DK2 support. Archaicbereft I think you singlehandedly convinced me to buy / try out VorpX.
