Trying to add a game to the list.
Hi, just trying to work out how to get a game running in vr.
This is the first time i've tried adding a game not on the list.
The game is STAR WARS republic commando (steam id 6000), so i added the location of the exe and tried by installing the helixmod x32.
The game is direct x 8 as far as i can tell.
If i click start in vr, nothing happens apart from i get an error saying:

Error: Failed to launch game in VR mode as one or more VR components are missing or haven't been set up.

Please check VR state and install any components required.

However in the driver tab all are green.

Here is the error message in the log file:

System.Net.WebException: The remote name could not be resolved: 'cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com'
at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadFile(Uri address, String fileName)
at FixManager.Helpers.IconHelper.<getDefaultSteamIcon>d__10.MoveNext()

If i click "start in 3d" it does start and it displays the red cyan 3d effect on the monitor, but in vr it just plays as 2d in steam theatre.

I did disable steam theatre from launching but it didn't seem to make a difference.
Do you think its possible to get it running?

Correct me if I'm wrong, bo3b, but I think you can't add DX8 games. Right? Because of the requirement to convert them to DX9Ex.

What you can do is use dgVoodoo to convert the game to DX11. Then it may work with HelixVision because games converted like this can be fixed with 3Dmigoto.

By the way, the game is in my list of games to fix in the future, if there's anything broken in 3D (I don't know).

As masterotaku notes, we don't have support for DX8 games directly. This looks like a DX8/x86 game. Unreal Engine 2.

Try using dgvoodoo to convert it to DX11, and if you can get that working in red/blue anaglyph, that will work to connect via VR. DX11 is a better target than DX9 because our VR connection is foolproof there.
