1.5 VR Update

Loving the new curved menus, massive improvements

However I'm a little worried I can't find a option for reset Oculus view and it's is no longer in the control settings ?
 
Yea Menus are curved at last!:) and "oculus" is now "HMD" in the menu but yea no option to reset view (maybe because the vive doesn't need one?) and its an oversight?

Update SC lag is gone for me so far in an asp scout and with the "usual" fixes the visuals seem better than ever other than the reset button great so far.

Curved menus - yep thats nice.

Oculus(err HMD) Reset:
Options / Controls / Miscellaneous - Reset HMD Orientation.

Apparently that setting got reset due to renaming from my current profile. Just re-set it and works again.

For SC Lag - sadly this is still in for me on ADM Catalyst 15.11 and a R290.
I will need to switch back to Omega 14.12 - there its much better (hoping for the new AMD drivers this month to fix it maybe.)

Yes your right about the reset shortcut change thanks +1 rep as for SC its been fine for me so far gtx970 latest drivers runtine 0.6.1
 
Is anyone else experiencing some nausea from some odd yaw auto centring? Iv'e had to stop playing after 20 mins..Yawing in one direction and centering the stick then produces a strange slow return to centre in the opposite direction.

On the plus side I just ran ED, for a short while, in x2.0 super sampling and it worked great! no SC stutter/shimmer either.

Has ship lights on / off become external lights on / off? I really hope so, hint at internal lights on / off? I would love to turn off the internal lighting in some ships! just have the HUD.

I'll be back when this nausea passes...
 
Feels like there is like an effect I can only describe as a fisheye effect but isn't making me nauseas

also I am definitely showing as full oculus quality but the quality is definitely lower, anyone getting this?
 
Yes the FOV seems to have changed a little bit.. Not seeing the quality issue, I always run at 50% and 1.5 super sampling anyway.. My yaw sickness persists, no more for me tonight...
 
i cant say if this is an issue in 1.4 for me as i have not tried them in 1.4

but the cutter and corvette tank my framerate in VR when in a station.

things pick up in deep space.

this is on ultra, but without any super sampling. I guess I will have to drop some details if i get these ships in the main game.

this is with a 4.3ghz i5 and an overclocked GTX 980.
 
Yeah 1.5 seems a lot smoother. Played just a bit tonight but it was absolutly judder free even in stations and SC. Can't remember most of my settings but I know I am using 1.5 supersample. The curved menus are awesome!

Thanks for the info,

I only tested for about 40 mins last night but encountered no stutter in SC even when approaching planets but I was in solo mode
Win 10 64bit
Titan X on 358.50 drivers

I managed to get the cutter stuck in the letterbox exiting the station coming back in was ok, the only other ship I got chance to test was the new Viper which in VR the cockpit looks stunning
 
So is nobody experiencing the peculiar nausea inducing yaw backlash / centering I mentioned earlier? Wondering if I need to reset something somewhere?

I noticed it. It didn't make me sick and I was able to ignore it for the most part but it's certainly very unpleasant. Others should really test for the problem, basically if you put your ship in full yaw for a couple of seconds and then release you will notice your ship straighten out and then the camera will ever so slightly be pulled toward the center. The same also happens with pitch.

SC stutter is gone for me at least. Another NVidia user here.

Just posted the exact same in another thread! not good for VR.

It would seem to me (on first trial) they have introduced wallow into the inputs but when the stick is centred vision snaps back too quick, giving a strange VR experience.

Ah glad to see it wasn't my config being awkward or anything, someone else has posted about this on the official bug report threads and I added a comment there also.. Really hope this gets fixed soon!
 
My feedback,
So far the new menus are brilliant.
I'm getting something different than most it seems as I'm finding huge improvements in judder, its buttery smooth now, which has also improved my sense of presence to the point I'm re-appreciating the scale of the game.
Text also seems a little sharper.


specs
i5 2550k @ 4.5ghz
8gb ram
r9 290 Catalyst 15.7
win 7 64bit
DK2 runtime 6.01
 
SC (in Odomazotz) still stutters like hell for me. Weird thing is it only starts after a few seconds, before that it's totally smooth. But it's the same as pre-1.5.
