How to get Elite in VR looking CRYSTAL CLEAR.:D
- Thread starter z4.MAFIA
- Start date
I followed this post and now Elite Dangerous is unplayable even after setting everything back to factory settings. I get artifacting when I move my head and it takes a few seconds for the graphics to pop into place. Its like looking through a tube and when you turn your head all you see is black, white and orange all stretching into infinity and then after a few seconds it pops out and reforms to what it should be.
Everything was fine till I followed this post and now I can't play Elite anymore with the Vive.

Not sure if this will affect anything

It did for me. Over the weekend my performance with SteamVR SS set @1.5 was a lot worse than normal and I could not figure it out. Last night I opened the SteamVR config and sure enough it was now set at 2.0. Looks like we might need to set it to read only while playing ED.
Thanks for the information! I will update my post to reflect the changes.
I've found that a 0.65 in-game setting allows for a 2.0 render target. Due to the fact that the render target setting is global, not just Elite but everything I see within the Vive looks great. Especially the Twitch chat window I have set up inside my cockpit.

The latest update to SteamVR has corrected the rounding issue.
I have a big problem with this thread.
I followed the advice here and now all I get in Elite Dangerous via the VR vive headset is a tunnel like vision and when I look to either side all I see is blackness and then a sudden jerk of movement in my vision and I can see what should be the forward facing view. So for example I am looking out of the cockpit and look to my left or right. The screen will take a few seconds to update and when it does I see the cockpit view instead of my left or right panels. I have reset everything back to default but its not cleared the issue up for me and yet other VR games run fine on the vive without any problems.

You need to set those settings in the SteamVR config file / EDprofiler.
Hey mate, now that you're on a 1080, are you using a specific set of values in the Nvidia control panel ? care to share?
UPDATE 8/12/16: I have found the BEST software for recording VR gameplay to be Mirillis Action! I'm now able to record 1080p 60FPS footage, stream to Twitch and play in VR at the same time without any issues.
Can you share your setup for these recordings?
And thank you for your time and this great guide.

No problem Farinhir.
You'll probably get more performance out of the games and applications recording mode. I just happen to use the active screen capture.
The following shows my settings:

I must say I cannot.
I find that a render target of 2.0 and an in-game of .65 or .75 to be far superior at providing a clean image in ED compared to any other combination. I don't need a second monitor for comparing; my eyes work just fine and station lines and jaggies make it very clear to me that 2.0 + .65 is the way to go.
