ED and the Oculus Rift Developers Kit 2 (DK2) Discussion Thread

Just hoping there is a combination of settings that will make the crossfire latency tolerable so I can use both my 280x, I'm going to need it!

So, apart from what is shown there is everything else on high?

If so I am worried about my setup because I am still only seeing 37fps in the station (DK1 at 1080p). I will try turning AA off completely and see what I get...

Me too :)

I think it might just be the fact that we are still using a DK1 rather than a DK2. Despite them both accepting 1080p, the warping on the DK1 panel is different than that of the DK2 (DK1 actually has a higher FOV than DK2), which means technically the game is having to render a larger image each frame for us DK1 users, even though we are running the game at the same 1080p resolution as DK2 users.

That's my theory anyway.

EDIT - will soon get to test that theory out, as my DK2 went in processing earlier today!

Given that, when using the OR, the game knows where your rift is pointing, I was wondering whether it would be feasible to provide a subtle cross hair to allow 'pointing' at UI buttons etc. before a single button is used to trigger them.

Could also be used to target things outside the cockpit I guess although it may be preferable for the crosshair to 'fade away' when the rift is pointing out of the main window.

Not sure if this would work, but it would be interesting to try it.

Everything high except shadows (med)

Definately something odd going on with the DK1 then. Supersampling to 1080p may be the problem? I wonder if sampling back down in the rift causes frame rate issues?

I have had a play with the framerate counter you recommended with the following results

Everything on high except shadows at med and no AA: 37-38fps in station. 40-60fps in SC. (I assume vSync is locked in the rift view)

Everything off/low about 40fps in the station.


SO what made the big difference for you. Was it turning AA off?
Can't think what would cause it to be so much lower than a DK2

I think for starters the SDK is buggered and the BETA isn't optimised. The larger FOV makes the DK1 more demanding. My tests showed it was the GPU, not the CPU being pulverised, so make sure you have every bit of juice flowing out of it that is available.

The stations are the real conundrum ... If you watch the FPS over time you can see it can dip quite extremely. If I were you id get it as best you can and then wait for your DK2 and a real fix from oculus and Frontier. I hope this twitch stream tonight will reveal what is going on with the SDK

I was recently running ED in oculus mode on my monitor without a rift plugged in counting fps with fraps - is it anyhow comparable to the real performance in a rift..?:S

Can't get SMAA to work on my windows 8.1. I added the files to the same folder as elite dangerous.exe but when I try to launch I get this error.

Can't find the accesspoint of the procedure CreateDXGIFatory2 in DLL-file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3d11.dll

From googling I found that is was only 8.1 users that had this issue and no solution. You guys know anything that could help?

New player here, just purchased the beta last night. I have an Oculus DK2 and I just wanted to say that the Elite team has done an amazing job so far. I am really excited to see the game come together. Keep up the good work.

Can anybody confirm the OR works with one eye? I have almost zero vision out of my right eye (only sees massive blur) left eye is "ok" Im not too worried about 3D type stuff just if the OR will actually work. If I can see as well as I do in real life due to my brain compensating by HEAVILY favour my left eye

Well we have 1 DK2 absolutely confirmed for FantastiCon next week, with hopefully a few more to be confirmed soon. I'm rather looking forward to trying *** out for myself :)

If you don't get any more confirmed and need another (and the event is willing to pay insured postage both ways ;) ) then you're welcome to borrow mine.
