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

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find it;

Just downloaded this and played around with some settings (mostly involving the HUD) but the most important setting (I think?) that I have set is "VR/3D" which I have set to "Off". When I launch E:D through the Profiler it comes up with the normal launcher, but then during the launch process it starts up my Windows Mixed Reality and SteamVR start up (and my headset displays a blank space).

The game starts normally on my monitor and everythings works as normal - until my VR headset goes into sleep mode, at which point the game crashes to desktop with no warning.

If I launch the game through the normal launcher, this doesn't happen (and WMR and SteamVR don't start up at all)

Any idea why this is happening and how I can stop it?

I don't launch Elite through EDProfiler so I can't remember how this is configured but is it possible to specify command line options to the launcher? When I'm launching ED for non-VR gameplay I use a separate desktop shortcut which has the /novr option added (which I suspect would fix your problem). Is it possible to get EDProfiler to add this option when VR/3D is off?

Hi

I released an update to get the Tone MApping stuff working regionally - commas for decimal places or whatever your region uses.

I will answer the above questions on sunday hopefully, just need to go now!

Did a clean install of EDP, but now I'm getting an error on startup. Also, doesn't seem to install the desktop shortcut anymore, I have to run the setup to start EDP. And applying any settings will again give me an error. On Finnish localization, if that's any help...

EDIT: Nevermind. I completely removed everything related to EDP and reinstalled, seems to work now.

The issue is not yet fully resolved. The "Apply" button in the tone mapping dialog works fine now. However if i use the "Apply" button on the main menu to activate a profile with tone mapping enabled, it still writes the wrong values to the file.

Hi, the only possible thing I can think of is that somehow your system starts ED Launcher with some command line command, so if you open it with EDProfiler, it won't run that command and then Elite will start without whatever it is that withholds WMR from launching. This is highly speculative and seems extremely unlikely - otherwise it's utterly impossible that EDProfiler is causing this issue. My advice, don't use EDP to open Elite's launcher anymore, I don't personally (for no particular reason). I strongly doubt I'll be able to help with this one I'm afraid. What headset have you got then?

Interesting, as my wife is from Finland, I gravitated towards testing EDP under Finnish region :)

Thanks for this, I've just released an update that makes this not happen for me. To be honest though, I think I just went round in a circle and didn't change anything, so please test and get back to me. What region are you using?
EDIT: Something stalled the update, try again if you did already

Hi, this one beats me so please email me everything: My Documents\EDProfiler, and your entire C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\ folder (zip them up) to kaii@dr.com and I will have a look over the next day or so

I've got a Dell Visor.

If it's any help, the desktop shortcut that ED installs will only launch the game in Screen mode; if I want to play it in VR I have to load up WMR and Steam VR first then go through the steam library and actually click on "Play in VR" to use the headset. That's why I was suprised when EDProfiler loaded up WMR and SteamVR by itself.

I can use the usual launcher, no big deal.

Incidentally, if you have VR, what HUD settings (if you use any of the ones supplied with EDProfiler) do you use?

Well my main one is the Spiritual Teal one, but I am starting to create profiles for each ship, and probably going to be dabbling in a different HUD per ship. VR doesn't need any specific colours these days imo

Ok another update, this time I've added a randomizer to help you find cool new tone maps, like the inverted ones I found and included :)

It has a back and forward option so you can cycle through what you've found. I've also added this functionality to the color matrix editor's randomizer too (and made it even more random).

And yes, I am planning on making a tool that lets to take notes INSIDE elite and saves them automatically for you in text files for latter sorting. WATCH THIS SPACE FOR AWESOMENESS

Did you see my note below on the idea of EDP spotting that the VR/3D setting is off and automatically injecting the "/novr" command line option into the ED launch command? Just a thought on a tiny EDP QoL tweak.

Dr. Kaii
Thank you for a great application and your continued dedication to it.
I recently experimented with Oculus_Debug SUper Sampling and ED's Super Sampling and I discovered that by setting ED's SS to .5 (lowest) and Oculus_Debug SS to 2.0 (max) I attain great picture clarity in VR (Rift), in fact the results are breath taking, so good that I'm in love with VR all over again. By setting SS in Oculus_debug I increased the Headroom of my GPU (1080Ti) substantially.

My question is, would it be possible to include in EDP the ability to set Oculus_Debug's SS permanently ?. this would obviate the necessity of opening yet another app in order to get ED running.

Link to my post about GPU headroom,
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...tting-SS-in-Oculus-Debug-than-in-ED-why-F-Dev

My ED VR settings are everything max except for.
Bloom = Off
Blur = Off
HMD = 1.75
SS = .5
Terrain Work slider = Half (mid)

Many thanks for your time.

The VR picture is truly beautiful and smooth as butter.

I tried this for the first time last night and the reduction in eye strain I feel was measureable.

With the default orange scheme and brightness I began to experience discomfort and eye strain after a few short missions but with the spiritual teal and brightness turned down I was able to lose half a day without noticing. I think that's a pretty big improvement. Much appreciated Dr Kaii!

Bit puzzled why you would set the in-game HMD IQ to 1.75 when you have the debug tool set to 2.0? As they are, to all intents and purposes, the same thing - I'm not 100% sure but I believe the in-game setting will override whatever is in the debug tool.

p.s. if you haven't already I would recommend clicking the Unlock button on the Model Draw Distance and setting that to the max as I found that to make a noticeable difference in VR and your 1080ti should be able to cope with it no problem (based on my experience with a 1080).
