Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

[rootproxy]

Hello everyone!

I have been searching around for some guides on getting Oblivion working with my Oculus Rift DK2 but could not find any. I have successfully setup Skyrim to work and it is great. But to be honest I actually liked the Oblivion story line and game play better than Skyrim. I have seen posts on other sites like reddit and videos on youtube where people have setup Oblivion and Vireio to work with the Oculus so I know others have successfully done this. What I would like to do is collaborate with people here and elsewhere to put together a tutorial or setup guide to get Oblivion working with Vireio and the Oculus. If anyone has been successful with Oblivion and Vireio I would love to hear from you.

Here are my computer specifics:

OS: Windows 7 pro x64 SP1
Memory: 16GB
Video Card: Nvidia 9800GT driver verson 340.52
Oculus SDK: 0.4.4
Vireio Version: 2.1.1a
Mod Organizer: v1.2.14

Here is what I have done:

I followed this guide meant for setting up Skyrim: http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments ... yrim_with/

I of course dropped the dll's in my Oblivion game folder. When it came to the mods I have only installed OBSE v. 2014-00-00-00-00- and Oblivion Enhanced Camera v. 1.4b. My monitor does not support 1920x1080 so I have set it to 1440x900 at 75hz. I set my Oculus DK2 display mode in "extend mode" and set it as my primary monitor. I run Vireio Perception as administrator and Mod Organizer as administrator.

Results:

When I run Oblivion from Mod Organizer Oblivion crashes/stops responding. Here is the error from the windows event viewer:

Faulting application name: oblivion.exe, version: 1.2.0.416, time stamp: 0x462392c7

I will attempt to roll back SDK, drivers and Vireio versions to see if I can get some success. In the meantime if anyone has got this working let me know what versions you used. Thanks!

I remember hearing problems when using mods. Can you uninstall them?

[rootproxy]

Yes. I have uninstalled them but am still having the same problem. I am rolling back my Oculus runtime at the moment to see if this helps. Thanks for the feedback!

[rootproxy]

OK so rolling back to Oculus SDK/runtime 0.4.2 seems to stop Oblivion from crashing and gets video output to the Oculus. The things I am noticing now is that the vision or image is cross eyed and the head tracking doesn't work. I have tried using Perception v2.1.1a and v2.0.0.2 both have the cross eyed vision and no head tracking. I am making progress though. If there is anything else anyone thinks I should try let me know. Thanks

Edit:
After digging around in the Perception folder I found the different gaming profiles located in Perception\cfg\profiles.xml. It appears I will need to build a profile for Oblivion in order for Vireio to function properly.

It looks like these two in this reddit post have figured this out!

Here's my latest progress...I have the game where it will work with the Oculus but I still have some problems. Head tracking is not working yet. There appears to be a setting somewhere that should allow head tracking to work. The other issue is the picture. Instead of the image taking up the entire field of vision it looks like a widescreen(has black edges) like the image is cropped. The image is a little out of focus as well.

What I did:

I used Vireio Perception v2.0.0.2 which has a profile editor "VireioPerceptionProfiler". It appears the latest release of Perception did not come with this profile editor. What I did was simple. I just made new profiles and copied off of the profiles built for Skrim and located the Oblivion.exe and OblivionLauncher.exe for each profile. There are shader_rules and VRboost_rules. I made copies of these for Skyrim and renamed them for use with Oblivion.

Results:

I have Oblivion working through the oculus in stereoscopic but like I stated above the head tracking doesn't work and the image is cropped and a bit out of focus.

What I am thinking I need to do now is dig through the forums and other places where people are troubleshooting Skyrim issues similar to the issues I now face with Oblivion. I want to see if I can get a screenshot of what I see through the Oculus to post in here so others might be able to know/actually see what I am experiencing. Again, if anyone has anything I should try let me know I will continue to troubleshoot and tinker and see what I can accomplish and will report back.

So this worked for me:

Use VireioPerceptionProfiler from 2.0.x like rootproxy mentioned to make an Oblivion profile that's identical to the Skyrim profile, then copy the profiles.xml over to a newer version like 2.1.1 (what I used). For whatever reason, this enables BRASSA ingame. The cross-eyed problem is due to the convergence being incorrect -- just ctrl-Q and get it comfortable. There's still some weirdness like NPCs' faces being... apart... from their bodies, but the idea is there. (Still no head-tracking, though).

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Head-tracking works if you switch Mouse Emulation on. Duh.

Even though this game is old I would still love to see an official profile for it !!
