1.5 VR Update

There was an update to my elite dangerous (through steam sync), but I'm not sure if it's this new 1.5beta version since I can't find a version number anywhere.
How can I tell what version of elite I'm running?
 
EXCELLENT!

I LOVE you frontier!!!

Tut tut - I thought moderators were supposed to be impartial DrK?????? ;)

However - they have done well with the SC issue (for me anyways) but I will not declare undying love until I get an option to change GUI colours within the settings of the game......

Nosh
 
What made you think that? I am a volunteer :)

I've always been overall positive towards FD, I think they are great. Look at my pre-moderator posts :)

Fact is they address things and that makes them a step ahead of most developers.

Fact is I got excited and proclaimed love. I tend to do that a lot. Gets me in some pretty sticky situations.

I don't withhold my love for a GUI colour change. I'm more hippyish :)

It's at the bottom of the launcher window.

Performance for me is slightly worse since the last update, can't run ultra any more in stations with 1.5X SSAA however it appears as though SC stutter is gone so I'm happy either way.

The Beta on the other hand is unplayable at the moment until they fix that weird camera bug, makes me feel sick.
 
Makes me feel sick too. It's like it self centers too fast, like stops suddenly when you centre the stick and the brain is still expecting it to move a bit more still or come to a centre stop more gently. Noticed it as soon as I took off, has pretty much ruined VR for me if they keep it like that. 1.4 is fine, can play for hours!

Me too. I felt ill for the rest of the day after only 5 minutes testing. Doesnt look like they've had time to fix this for the latest patch either :/

Anyone noticed that we can finally disable the side panel popups? Been waiting for that all year.

Now that is good news :) Where is the option?
 
To hear a lot of people saying sc judder has improved is encouraging, but could that just be because not as many people are playing the beta?
 
Yes indeed, just thought I'd give 1.5.3 a whirl and its definitely still a hurl fest.. Inertia still on POV camera, who thought that was a good idea?

SC judder is something that was introduced in 1.4, nothing to do with server load but some sort of bad consequence of the changes they made to SC. This is what people mean is fixed :)
 
Ah ok. Been exploring since I got my OR a couple of months ago and only noticed it when I got to populated space recently. Fingers crossed!

Only the new mods are impartial, the older ones are insane despots....apparently.. ;)

Hence the now excessive cleaning bill we've just received in the Mod secret volcano...:eek:

But, Loving the tweaks that 1.5 have given us VR users, the curved menus look stunning and I was hunting for the orientation reset for a while as well..

Loving 1.5 (not as much as Kail apparently however...)
 
BTW, wheres my black monitor between my legs... I kind of miss it :)

I was hoping to have it showing useful information somehow but then really I feel much better now that my lap is free.
 
Yes, i just added to that thread as well:

I think they must have had someone in there tinkering with stuff to make VR better, but then turned some flags on that were supposed to be toggled off, so suddely we are getting the full pitch, roll and yaw motion forces that is a huge no-no for VR

An ti is not just yaw, it is all three are a lot stronger.. it is just yaw is the most noticeable

I don't think it's solely an issue on FD's end because it's a known issue to AMD as well. They list it as bug "[59475] Elite: Dangerous - poor performance may be experienced in SuperCruise mode" since at least Catalyst 15.11. Beta (and even now in 15.11.1 Beta): http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx
 
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.

Just here to say yes. Hope it gets fixed soon. I dont know how rifters can play with it as is. I'm not prone to sickness. It's just very uncomfortable. Please fix soon FD. Everything else looks pretty awesome. So glad that SC judders are gone.
