Howdy, I was told to redirect this here:
I have a Vive Pre and I am having trouble getting Elite to play on it. I have a fast rig with a 980 in it, so I'm not worried about hardware. Here is what I am not sure about:
-Should I be running Elite 32 or 64 bit?
-Do I need horizons for SteamVR support?
-Do I need to run SteamVR in Direct mode? If I do, my Vive is not listed in my "monitors" section
-I can run Elite in 1920x1080 on the Vive but it looks bad. As soon as I turn supersampling on it fails to render. Thoughts?
Can anyone who has gotten Elite dangerous to work with Vive and SteamVR (and look decent) let me know how?
Thanks!
* 64 bit
* I don't believe so, no, though I do have it and it does work
* You need to go through the entire steamvr setup, define your room scale stuff or do standing mode, ensure you're running the steamvr beta, and have steamvr running before you start elite. you DO want it in direct mode.
* If things look "bad," you might be running into the same issue I'm running into. If so, it's a bug that Frontier says they'll have fixed before the vive ships.
Elite should pick up the Vive if SteamVR is running, and once you pick "HMD headphones" or "HMD speakers" in the elite menu, it should start working. The resolution, refresh rate, and monitor you pick don't apply to the vive. They do apply to the monitor mirroring that elite does by default (which is separate from the steamvr mirror that you can optionally enable).
