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

the latest edprofiler doesn't start for me (older versions worked fine) :

I see this error for one second :

Getting this error when using ED: Profiler with Odyssey, weirdly enough its only Odyssey. Horizons works fine and I seem to have the file things setup (Im not too in the know about anything I might have missed, any tips?
 
Having to switch between VR for ship & SRV, and Monitor for On-foot, so this program is awesome. More or less have it tweaked, but a few questions:

Model Draw Distance. Does this include drawing more details in mountains at a distance, or is it just ships/stations etc?

Run shaders. I assume this is the on start up thing. Any value in having this checked?

On the monitor, aliasing is a problem. I'm running 3440x1440 and SMAA. Is there anything else I can do about the aliasing? Pretty much everything is maxed.

I think it only applies to settlements, ships, stations and such.

It runs the shader "warmup" before loading into the main menu. If turned off, it'll load in shaders on the fly, which might cause hiccups or stutters ingame.

Are you using Supersampling? I find that having this set to 1.5 makes a huge difference to the jaggies (I also play at 3440x1440 with SMAA). Obviously it puts a much greater strain on your system (especially inside stations).
 
Tried to come back to Elite Dangerous after a good 6 month hiatus or so. Had EDProfiler installed for a long time and never had issues when I last played it. However when I tried to launch it I kept getting errors and crashes, so I reinstalled the app. Still didnt work, so did what it told me (delete settings here and there, reset graphics options etc), still doesnt work. It was a good app when it worked but no longer unfortunately. Will have to switch between VR and 2d manually from now on.

I've had the same thing. To fix:

1. Delete the whole OPTIONS folder (BACK IT UP FIRST!)
2. Launch Elite, go to options, change any setting (like a keybind) and save.
3. Run Profiler to confirm it's working.
4. Close Profiler.

At that point I started copying my old Options folders one after another and run Profiler each time. It allowed me to copy all of my old files back into the Options folder and the app now works OK.

You may try copying your old Options folder back all at once, or try my method folder by folder.
 
This exception basically renders the app useless, by occurring every time I click "apply settings" and then not applying the settings.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Just tried and Im getting the same error. I should note I dont have Odyssey if that makes a difference.

what do I do if it says I need to buy/redeem the game after I login in the launcher?
You do realise this is a forums thread for a 3rd party application?

If you need help regarding the game, that's definitely a wrong place and you should head over to here: https://customersupport.frontier.co.uk/hc/en-us

If you need help with the Profiler application, I'd rather email the author via the data provided inside the app.

Can't see how what you've described is relevant to this application really...
 
Profiler has a few problematic bugs that I'm seeing:
  • Supersampling resets to 1.0 regardless of the saved setting (and applies 1.0 as well).
  • Issue with profile selection. When you select another profile other than the one you're using, change the new ones settings and attempt to quicksave them, it saves to the originally used profile
