Sorry for the problems there, let's see if we can improve this. Should definitely not be seeing it this much.

Can you give me more details? Games that you see this in, and API in use. In DX9 we can expect to see this more often, but I don't think I've seen this recently in any DX11 game.

For games in our primary curated list, you should never see this error. Best driver to use at present is 452.06.


I can also take a look at the log files after you see this error.

%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Katanga\Katanga\output_log.txt and the katanga.log.

OpenVR Shutdown

Thanks for those logs. These are normal logs up to the point where it crashes. The game itself is publishing the buffers to be seen, as we responses, that means that the buffers are being seen by the Katanga/mirror/VR app.

Doing a reinstall of HelixVision was a good test, but clearly didn't help. Made it worse is some aspect, because now the VR bindings are not connecting cleanly. Would be worth trying to uninstall and reinstall SteamVR itself for that problem.


Try running the Katanga app directly. It's in Tools->Katanga->katanga.exe. That should bring up a slide show for 3D images, and have all controls working for moving, sizing.

Also try doing a DDU clean reinstall of the 452.06 Standard driver. The crash is not connecting at a fairly fundamental call for the app that is part of DX11 API.

Probably won't give further info, but I'd like to check the %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Katanga\Katanga\katanga.log as well. There is an off chance it will report an error code that might help.


What are your system specs? As a data point, this is working smoothly on most of those games here, Win10 2004, Driver 425.06 Standard, Steam versions. GTX 1080ti, i7-9700K.

It's very strange that it would work with something like Metro Exodus, but not on Shadow of War. The Call of Duty games, I've had problems with, including Black Ops. Trine 3 probably won't work because they have their own stereo creation, and I'm not sure the 3Dmigoto tool works there. We need the 3Dmigoto tool to provide the VR connection.

Most of these games have not been directly tested by us, so we can't be sure they work. However, if you consistently are getting the Plugin Fatal Error, that's more likely to be a different problem.

As a general idea, we expect DX11 games to mostly always work, even if untested. DX9 games are roughly 50% successful. I've seen that PluginFatalError during earlier development, but have not seen it in last 6 months or so. It's possible this could be a permissions error of some form.


Maybe experiment with games on our curated list that are marked as CompatibleToVR. You can sort these in hacker-mode as well, using the fliter dropdown in top left of windows. Using one of those would be a better test case for trying to understand what is happening, because they've all be extensively tested under VR. If you can find one that is consistently crashing we try to work out what is happening.

Thanks to your feedback I figured it out. It was VorpX. It still runs as a service after being shut down and makes stuff start failing with your product. I am LOVING it now.

More info:

You confirming that the app was good to go was huge. I also figured out some other things I thought I'd share including:

1) If you have any other injectors or custom dlls associated with a game remove those or rename them .old.
2) Ensure that the file path to the executable matches the one that HelixVision is looking for. This makes the scan more accurate.
3) Ensure that the name of the game folder matches the Install Folder Name that HelixVision is looking for to install the 3D fixes.

Once I did all of this my library lit up and I am having the time of my life. THANKS BO3B!!!!! 1032 games active including 7 of the Call of Duty's! I'm emotional! 3 cheers for Bo3b!

Very glad to hear that you found a solution. It can be tough to get things working, but when they are working it's a pretty great experience.

Thanks for the followup on the details. I've used VorpX previously but didn't know it might interfere with Katanga. I'll double check this path and see if we can avoid stepping on each other's toes. At a minimum, we can check for his running service and put up a warning.


For the paths to the game, the paths can be broken if you've moved the games to a new hard drive or location. Steam doesn't update the registry keys we use to find games quickly.

An easy way to update them all is to uninstall Steam itself and then reinstall and set up a new library that points to your current installs. Steam will walk the whole game directory and set back up.

If it's one or two games that are stuck not being found, you can always edit the profiles when in hacker-mode, and change the path to the game to match your setup. In the worst cases, you can add a specific override full path in the CustomtRoot field.
