I'm trying to get ED Profiler to work with my Rift, and am having an issue. I set things up as per the attached screen grab. When I 'Launch Elite' when wearing my Rift, the game loads, but the audio changes from my headset to my default Windows speakers.
If I run ED from SteamVR the audio is retained through the Rift headphones OK, so not sure about what is going on.
Can anyone help?

I believe there might be an issue if running a game from outside the oculus software, like regular desktop version of ED. You would have to set the windows sound output to the rift manually.

I can't be to certain because I don't use the rift for audio at all but just use my wireless cans.

Thanks, but other games like DCS and Dirt Rally work perfectly ok running from outside Oculus software, so it can’t be a general thing.

TorTorden is correct, this has nothing to do with EDProfiler. See: https://support.frontier.co.uk/kb/faq.php?id=312. I use a Custom File from EDProfile to run a batch file that switches the Windows default audio device to the Rift using NirCmd. This may help: http://www.microsoftnow.com/2013/05...ange-the-default-audio-device-in-windows.html

I also have a Windows toolbar that allows me to switch to and fro manually should I need to (a few clicks quicker than using the Audio icon...I'm lazy).

Thanks, but there is something going on as if I run Dirt Rally or Elite Dangerous from my Steam library, everything works fine. The audio device auto switches to the Rift, and swaps back again on quitting from Oculus Home. Similarly, if I run DCS from the desktop icon, it also switches perfectly from the default device to the Rift headphones.

That's because SteamVR is routing the audio.

Looking at your first link, that is from 2 years ago, and if I’m not mistaken, there is no 2.1 available! A bit worrying!

The 2.1 code is in the game (assuming Horizons). Either FD haven't got round to fixing it (add it to the list) or it's technically not possible (then again if it works with Dirt Rally...)

Thanks for that. Not sure it is through SteamVR. From what I've read, Steam finds whatever VR system it can. Also, you chopped off my post mentioning DCS working perfectly as well, and DCS doesn't use Steam or anything, it's standalone.
Anyway, the point is, that if other titles (like the ones I mentioned) can do it, surely they all can.

Has the Blue channel issue in the GUI Color selector been fixed?

Was just going to post a question about that - started using ED profiler today and I have not been able to save a GUI profile with the default colours due to the blue channel being bugged.

When playing Elite in VR, is it possible to lock the monitor to full screen windiwwd or otherwise or at least lock the mouse to the Elite window?

Would I be able to make a trifle feature request? This would literally only save me one or two mouse clicks, so, please take it with a grain of non-gaming salt... Any chance you can add an option to change the "LAUNCH" button to "LAUNCH and EXIT(Launch Elite and Close EDProfiler.)" As closing EDProfiler is all I do after launching the game

I've just uploaded an update, first one in ages. Download here: http://www.drkaii.com/tools/edprofiler/ Or hit the update button if already installed.

This update finally fixes the blue GUI colour bar not saving to GUI Colour profiles! It also fixes that pesky jet cones not displaying properly bug!
Thanks for your patience as I haven't really had the time or headspace to work on this, much less play Elite but I am hoping to be making a comeback now. I have a rebirth of
love for the game and also want to get EDP up to date, and improved. For instance, I've noticed the chat logs browser live detection isn't working and a few other things.
Check for updates regularly, otherwise it will auto-update every 7 days.
Changed the version number to match Elite's build number. Enjoy!

Nope that's the way they've made the game, as for locking the mouse, I am not sure.

Thank you sir! Very good to be back of course. Was actually expecting either you or Main Sequence to reply first! You guys make me feel less alone in this sea of people all vying to edit their graphics profiles in the most efficient manner, all looking to me for salvation.


Anyways, overmelodramatics aside, I just dun' did a new update, adding horizone's discovered settings about adjusting the darkness levels of the sky without adversely affecting the brightness levels of everything else...sort of. See more here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...again!-Fix-for-the-Rift-CV1-bad-low-end-gamma

FEATURES REQUESTS CAN BE MADE!

I know a bunch of features (as well as other general questions) have been asked, but as I have been so all over the place and haven't really been active for a long time, I will now ask everyone to please resubmit any feature requests as well as general queries (you can also email me kaii@dr.com)

I will go through them and try to add/respond to them soon.

Pleasure.

Another update!

3.1.3.2 TIDIES and professionalizes up the previous work, FIXES the chat logs browser live detection, a very useful tool to help you copy and paste out information for EDChat, as well as make notes to write down later when you take off your VR headset or just want to have a coffee.
Well you'll figure out a good use for it I'm sure!

EDIT: another small update - 3.1.3.3 sorts out some annoying GUIProfiles with - COPY in their name - renaming smartly to avoid overwriting any changes you've made.
