I tried following these steps, but the View menu does not show the "Virtual Reality mode" option.
I made sure that:
- OVRService_X63 is running
- I'm opted in for BETA (both for Steam and SteamVR)
- Steam and SteamVR is up to date
When checking the log files, I noticed that nothing gets written to vrserver.txt nor vrclient_Steam.txt.
Only after running VR mode directly in HL2 I get some entries in vrserver.txt:
Hope this helps somehow..
vrserver log loops this (there is no driver_vortex.dll in the path specified, should it exist?):

Thanks.
I had that issue too. Luckily it wasn't that off-center. It also seemed to correct itself after I exited out of HL2.
HL2 is pretty awesome with VR.
Although I did use the RoadToVR tips to give head tracking more range.
All in all it's pretty impressive.
Just need a button to easily center things.
Was also getting some strange tearing. Guessing it's the "vertical tearing" I've heard people mention before. I've never had any tearing with anything I've run before. SteamVR and HL2 are my first experience with it.
Tried locking the framerate to 75 in HL2. Using the the launch commands and going into the developer console and setting the frame rate limit to 75.

There are no dlls in the driver directory...
allready installed it twice.
Does the view menu show the VR option if you start Steam with the -vrforce command line option?
Thanks for the log. It eliminates a bunch of possibilities.

@Tankforce Yes, a recenter option will be available soon.

It takes a lot away from the immersion in HL2 when all lines (that are not in the center of the display) are red or blue.
Unfortunately my GT 750M struggles quite a lot, watching YouTube for example appears to be running at ~15fps.
Is there a way to see the FPS info, and maybe some tips on speeding things up?
