How To: Skyrim and Oculus Rift with a fixed HUD

Has anyone tested this?
Sounds pretty good. If it leaves only the menu without support this doesn't sound too bad!

I tried it, but I can't really get it to work. Might be me, since I just got my OR yesterday. But I see double when playing Skyrim and the game gets really slow and sluggish. I did, however, get MineCraft to work. Could someone make a quick video tutorial? I'm really bad with writen how-to's.

skyrim's definitely one of those games that i'd love to explore inside the rift.

the texture's, the game, the whole world.

i'll probably load this up for my oculus pretty soon.

Cant get this fully to work.

set everything up, runned the Vireio.

i go in game but its not "split screened" or double screened.

what am i doing wrong.

@Peeky: You can try running as admin (both the game and the Vireio app). You can also try copying the d3d9.dll from the Perception/bin folder into the game folder (the folder with TESV.exe).

Tried running both as Admin.

Hi Guys!

I think this information is very old. Vireio is up to version 2.0.0.1 now, and most of the HUD fixes no longer require separate game modifications:

I imagine you know this or have done this but, some games/apps need to have the display as extended, and some as duplicated displays... I have to switch quite often depending on what I'm doing. Sometimes I forget to switch back. :?:

In case anybody hasn't noticed, there is now an alternative to the "Joy of Perspective" mod (...which I could never get working (startup crash)).

This one allows you to edit multiple profiles of settings, for use in different situations. Eg: When running, you may prefer to allow the character to turn with your looking around (...or not) and to heavily dampen the effect of the head turning as part of the running animation.

Alas, though, the PC's head does not mirror your tracked motions - only camera transformation, so you can, eg, look down and see your own chin, if a profile has the camera shifted to about eye depth (or even further back) and clipping distance set short.

got skyrim running very well with the VorpX drivers. menus are a bit of nuisance as they are in most games and i'm aware there's a few fixes for that running around that i should have a go at.
