DK2 + recent update = something's a bit off.

I'm not sure if it's my imagination or perhaps an odd bug on my side, but after today's patch the brightness or gamma seems to be off, different. On top of that, 1920x1080 doesn't look like 1920x1080. There seems to be more smear as well. Anyone else notice this?

Of course I'm going to play with the settings a bit to try and pin point the problem. I'll report back if i find anything.

looks fine to me. Did you try rebooting? I've had it happen a couple times when the game appeared to start in 16 bit colour, 60Hz and had to reboot to fix it.

There seems to be more smear as well.

Yeah I got the same thing, looks like the black background of space is now smear with a slightly softer black.

Rebooting fixed it for me - I think more of a RIFT display issue than Elite

I usually find restarting the Rift server does the job and is quicker than a reboot.

Absolutely fine on my end wit the DK2. Have you filled out a support ticket!?

Just restart the rift drivers should be fine.

Just restart the rift drivers should be fine.

....and come back to tell us what fixed it...

? so I replied yesterday saying I fixed it and what I did, but apparently my post didn't go through.

ED basically got stuck in direct mode as a result of me disregarding the warning to switch to extended mode. Even after switching back to extended mode the game still ran as if in direct mode, with the brightness/gamma out of whack and what appeared to be 16bit color mode. There was also considerable pixel smear and the resolution was stuck somewhere under 1080p.

All I did to fix it was to switch back to direct mode, run the oculus demo scene, switch back to extended mode, run the scene again, then run the game. I guess it just needed a little kick on the software side.
