EDProfiler - A New Display Switcher/Robust Settings Profiler/Switcher/Detector!

av8rgeek · Nov 7, 2021

DrKaii:

I'm trying out the Profiler in desperation, as I've not needed it previously. I bought Oculus years ago through the Oculus Store and that is how I launch the game. I play almost exclusively in VR. Today, I wanted to wing-up with some folks who play Horizons and found I could not get Oculus to launch Horizons in VR. I downloaded your EDProfiler tool in hopes I could force the Oculus App to launch Horizons in VR somehow. When I attempted to "Detect Current Settings", I received the error "Could not check GUI Color Settings". This is the case when the game is running in VR and when the game is not running at all. There are also no profiles. I'm not sure EDProfiler actually detected any settings. Do you have some suggestions for troubleshooting?

Reminder: Steam is not involved in this process. It's all Oculus.

Thanks,
av8rgeek

Hi,

I really don't know, I haven't had Oculus for like 4 years. You bought ED through Oculus Store? Or normal ED, but Oculus VR software?

Either way I don't think the problem is going to be EDProfiler. Probably need to reinstalled Oculus or something, goodluck

Sorry, it was 1am when I wrote that. I bought ED through the Oculus store. I am hoping EDProfiler would let me override some of Oculus' customizations in launching.

Thanks anyway.

I'm running the Oculus version and I had the same issue with EDP not detecting settings. Last week I updated to EDP v 4.0 and it started to detect after a reboot of my pc.
There are still no color presets in the dropdown so I just add my own. You can use this as a preset guide. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...colour-color-configs-please-add-yours.259311/
good luck Commander

I would assume that the Oculus Store installed ED in a different location than where EDProfiler is looking. You could try changing the install path where EDP looks manually, by editing the "Paths.xml" found in

Code:

\[Windows Username folder]\Documents\EDProfiler\Defaults

and see if EDProfiler can detect everything after that.

As for starting EDH in VR, I don't have Oculus, but my best bet would be to start the EDLauncher.exe manually, select EDH and then turn on VR in the game's graphics settings if it doesn't do so automatically. (While having Oculus software running and your VR headset connected of course)

I just updated EDprofiler to the latest version (I skipped the last one). Everytime I launch it now it deletes the contents of it's app folder & starts downloading and re-installing. This happens every time. Am I missing something?

SOLVED Anti-virus was quarantining the .exe silently.

Hello. Have'nt been playing for a while, now my controls file seems to be broken, profiler cannot load it, and ED cant see one. Any tips? I can see that now "custom" preset have different length, and somewhat different configuration, any easy workarounds?

upd - figured it out, my fault, there was some joystick in my bind, which i already dont have would'nt allow it to load.

Hi drkaii. First off great tool you made. Secondly. I have been having a strange issue with Elite refusing to NOT start VR (SteamVR & Mixed Reality Apps) and was only able to stop them using your software to force the Elite launcher to not use VR - Thanks a bunch.

Thirdly. When I run your software however or use the Detect Correct Settings button I get an error. It looks like the program is unable to locate my StartPreset.start file

There is a StartPreset.4.start file in the directory with content:
GenericJoystick
Custom
KeyboardMouseOnly
KeyboardMouseOnly

I tried simply copying the StartPreset.4.start and re-naming it StartPreset.start and now the program does not give an error. But I am unsure it is correctly detecting my current settings.

I love this app but I really wish it was open source so that the community could help with issues as they arise.

Try completely deleting the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0 subfolder that contains edprofiler and try again. Also try installing from IE.

Hi guys,

Sorry about the delays. I've set aside some time today to fix the startpreset folder issue

Removing the folder worked perfectly, thank you!

drkaii · Jan 19, 2022

Great! And also for everyone else - I have fixed the StartPreset issue. Please update your tool.

Let me know if I've broken anything else and I'll get it patched ASAP

Hi, hitting "Save Profile" asks for a name instead of just saving over the existing profile. If you type in the same name, it says profile already exists.

drkaii · Jan 20, 2022

I've never seen that and can't reproduce it i am afraid. So long as you didn't hit Detect or anything, to deselect the profile you were editing, i can't imagine how that can happen. Are you a new user?

No - I've reinstalled my computer with Windows 11, though. I did several restores and maybe my existing profiles as well. Let me try clearing all these up.

leonardofelin · Jan 20, 2022

I did a full clean-up.
First run, no profiles stored: green border around the EDProfiler window. I can edit and overwrite the newly created profile.
Second run, one profile stored (from the previous run): no green border, if I try to overwrite, I get asked for a name.

I'm... baffled.
