Getting the Best DK2/CV1/Vive VR Experience: Guide/Compendium

[jvan008]

Thanks for the info

and @jvan008, thanks so much for win10 info. I'll try and find a way of incorporating it into the op at some point

Update to the latest build (10061) has caused no issues, in fact seems a little faster even.

Interestingly been looking into the stuttering. During normal play I get 75 fps and my GPUs sit around 60% - 80% usage. All cores on CPU sitting around 40%. When the fps drops and the frame render time spikes there's no corresponding spike in CPU or GPU usage, in fact my GPU usage drops as well. I don't think it's waiting to stream something off disk but it's entirely possible. Leads me to believe that it's not a hardware limitation but something else. I can crank my custom resolution to 2880 x 1620 but start to see a lot more stutters, so keeping it at 2560 for now.

I only tried OP's point #1 in the first post. What I found, is that Brightness, Contrast and Gamma settings in the nVidia control panel, for the Rift DK2 (with that selected as described), does absolutely nothing. I think these settings are overridden by E: D. Setting e.g Gamma in-game helped (as in changed things visually). Also Digital Vibrance (nVidia control panel) also "helped", but as far as I can see (yeah..), all it does is changing color saturation.

I'm a bit sick of the green haze, since like a couple of months ago (or more) I've never had black space. Just splotches of green haze around nebulaes, stars, and the windscreen of the ship, depending on where I look. And some black smearing btw.

Granted I have a rather minimum GPU for this game I guess, a GTX 470. And a Rift DK2. Also, I haven't really been playing this much ironically since release in December, as I did before and even then not a lot (I can't seem to get into this somehow just fooling around, which is cool enough, for a little time).

Oh yeah, using Oculus runtime 0.4.4, as 0.5.0.1 don't work for me, on my main OS. Got a backup OS where it actually does work, but I'm not about to install E: D there just to test if it's any different (plus I highly doubt it).


Btw I mean no disrespect to the OP for his comprehensive post! I might try some of the other points at a later time.



EDIT: Wops, ment the OP's point #1 in the first post, not #2

Not sure why, works for everyone else. Please try some of the other fixes. It's a night and day affair

Not everyone else. I thought it looked dreadful, and massively increased posterisation. However, I am also one of those people who gets upset seeing monitors running in the wrong colourspace, and badly set-up TVs with too much post-processing and colour, so may be safely regarded as an unpopular eccentric.

Well I meant work as in have an effect, CoilWinder, seems to have nothing happen at all. And on your point, I don't think it's that. I think that it's to do with our setups.

My default is wrong. Youd agree if you came round to my house and had a look. I bet.

I'm getting the following error using the reshade cfg file listed in the OP:


I used the cfg included with the reshade download, and updated it with some of the settings from your cfg file and it worked fine.
Maybe it's some change with the latest version reshade?

Here's what I'm using that's working:

Thanks for letting us know, but I don't see the issue, maybe something went wrong in the copying?

Seems to be throwing errors in the shader file for LumaSharpen. Beyond me too. If all you did was change the config file to fix it then I'm truly at a loss.

EDIT: I can see you've taken out the LumaSharpen altogether which probably explains why it's fixed. Which means you are missing the most important and fundamental part of this tweak. Here's what the LumaSharpen.h file should look like, try right clicking it, clicking "edit" and pasting this and saving, then use my .cfg settings and see if that fixes it:

EDIT2: I take it back, you HAVE got LumaSharpen still in, so basically I don't know what your problem was, but at least it's fixed!

     LumaSharpen 1.5.0
   _____________________


  by Christian Cann Schuldt Jensen ~ CeeJay.dk


  It blurs the original pixel with the surrounding pixels and then subtracts this blur to sharpen the image.
  It does this in luma to avoid color artifacts and allows limiting the maximum sharpning to avoid or lessen halo artifacts.


  This is similar to using Unsharp Mask in Photoshop.


  Compiles with 3.0

I'm getting the following error using the reshade cfg file listed in the OP:
View attachment 34863

I used the cfg included with the reshade download, and updated it with some of the settings from your cfg file and it worked fine.
Maybe it's some change with the latest version reshade?

Here's what I'm using that's working:

Whether these settings are optimal or not, i have no idea. A lot of this is beyond me.

The latest iteration of Reshade is coded slightly different in that it expects togglekeys to be defined. What I did to work around this was use the default reshade version of the sweetfx cfg file, then manual update the changes from the OP's cfg file. Basically all you are doing is using the same 1 flags for SMAA and Lumasharp, then defining the same settings for each to the relevant sub-sections. I will create and post a correct version for you, once I'm back on my gaming Rig (my own cfg settings are slightly different than OP's atm as I'm testing). Give me about 1/2 hour to an hour...

Edit: Apologies @Andovar, I misread your post, I see you were offering a modified cfg for "ReShade 0.18.0 Public Beta with Framework", and that you were addressing another persons issue, not your own.

 

[L@neWolf]

Perhaps I have missed the post. But I haven't seen anyone discuss proper FOV in E-D for the Oculus DK2. My understanding is Oculus defines the best FOV for the DK2 as 120 degrees horizontal.
I used the following formula to work out the Vertical FOV: 2 * ATAN( (9/16) * TAN(((120*PI)/180) / 2) )
Where 9/16 relates to the 16:9 aspect ratio used by the DK2, and 120 is the horizontal degrees. Result is 88.507155
I then manually update the settings.xml file:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics\settings.xml
Change the FOV line setting to:
FOV>88.507155</FOV>
I strongly suggest you backup the settings.xml file first.

for reference:
I use the same formula when I switch to my triple screen setup, which has an aspect ratio of 16:3.2, and with my preferred 100 degree horizontal FOV the formula becomes:
2 * ATAN( (3.2/16) * TAN(((100*PI)/180) / 2) ) = 26.812699 Vertical FOV

Both of these work well for me, your mileage may very.

I guess my post was confusing, but I was just addressing an issue I found when trying to use the cfg file supplied in the OP.
I did a full copy/paste three times just to make sure I wasn't munging something up somewhere, but it still threw the errors.
I have to assume that there's something new in the version I'm using that would cause this.

I'm still not sure if I have mine configured optimally, but to be honest, the trial-and-error method of seeing what's best with all those options gets tiresome. Plus I'm testing on my monitor, which is probably somewhat pointless.

The cfg offered by the OP is specific to improving the DK2 i.e. use of SMAA to improve anti-aliasing, and Lumasharpen to make text more legible. Using these settings with a monitor, the lumasharpen would make things look worse, especially text. Both Sweetfx and Reshade are pretty subjective to the end-user as to what looks good or not. Your not going to see huge differences with SMAA and Lumasharpen settings alone, mostly for our purposes here, we are just looking for the sweet spot to enhance DK2 clarity, in which case the OP's settings should be sufficient for most people, and unless your into tweaking, I would leave them as they are. It sounds like you got Reshade 0.18.00 to work in the end. so kudos for finding the workaround. There are indeed some changes in the most recent versions of Reshade that require a different cfg be used, as you found out, to work properly.

 

[Andovar]

...in which case the OP's settings should be sufficient for most people, and unless your into tweaking, I would leave them as they are.

The problem is I don't know what part his cfg it was bombing on, so I can't leave them exactly as they they are. I had to take the default cfg file that comes with reshade and pull over different values I saw in his file. But I doubt I got everything.

Anyway, I'll have to wait until my IPD adjusters arrive to see if the settings I have are actually helping or not.

Below is the OP's Reshade settings, but for "ReShade 0.18.0 Public Beta with Framework" format. Replace below in the SweetFX_settings.cfg found in X:\Games\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002\ReShade folder (your Path may be different), Alternatively copy below into Notepad (I prefer Notepad++ myself), save file as SweetFX_settings.cfg and overwrite the file in your Path above. Always backup your files prior to modifying, so you can always revert back to original.

Only thing missing from the OP's settings is the #define SMAA_DEPTH_THRESHOLD setting, as this setting is not included in latest Reshade. I haven't tried adding it to see what happens, so left out.

Thanks for this, I see you have tech blogger in your soul like me. Adding to the OP. +rep to you

Edit: speaking of rep, this thread has had 28,000 views and I still have less than 50 rep from this thread. Just sayin'

Not that ive done this for the rep, its just filling those green bars under my name is a bit like fuel scooping

Below is the OP's Reshade settings, but for "ReShade 0.18.0 Public Beta with Framework" format.

That one worked.
Thanks Lonewolf!

If people are like me, you sometimes forget about the rep system. Especially with a post like this, where you read something, then immediately run off to try it.
...anyway, you've been repped!

 

[L@neWolf]

@drkaii thanks for the Rep. As you can probably tell from my handle I'm not much a social butterfly (or blogger for that matter), LoL. Just looking to be of assistance to my fellow CMDR's. Great thread btw and you should definitely be getting more Rep for it as OP, rather than Rep'ing a hijacker like myself

@Andovar, I'm pleased the script worked out for you. I thought you had fixed it yourself, or I would have provided it earlier...

Fly safe gentlemen.

@Andovar, I'm pleased the script worked out for you. I thought you had fixed it yourself, or I would have provided it earlier...

I had a working script, but wouldn't call it a 'fix', as i piece-mealed it together, and don't know if I had all the optimal settings in there.
What I was trying to get (which is what I think you provided), was one with the all the settings from drkaii's original post, that would work on the version of reshade i'm using.

...again, thanks for that.

Thanks Drkaii
I made most of the tweaks you described in your first post. And it's now running even smoother as before!
One thing I'm not sure about trying is the supersampling.

Will a i7 4770 with gtx 780 be enough to run it smoothy, without setting everything to low?
Now running everything on high. And runs smoothly even in the stations.

 

[drkaii]

Depends which ss and what your prefered way of play is.

I don't know what your rig will do with each one - you have to try.

I've given lots of detail about the visual and performance difference between the three ways. I suspect a 780 will very likely struggle with them - for sure in star ports and asteroid fields - but very weak ss while exploring will probably work fine.

You have to try!

Lates nvidia drivers broke bad for me. Could not get stable at 70 where before I was pegged at 75. Turned settings down and nothing helped. Reverted back to older driver and that didn't work. In desparation went to to 347.88 (which I've never used before). Did a custom install and wiped previous settings. That worked. Rolled forward to latest driver and did a custom install with wiped settings. Re-applied my settings and now seems fine. Sigh, 5 hours of mucking around just to be back to where I was.

I see there's a new OR runtime out (0.6.0.0). Anybody tried it yet and willing to report back?

Cheers
