Hey there.
It's this time of the year again, inspired by this post I'm trying to get cozy with OpenComposite again, yet my results are constantly disappointing. I have this on again - off again relationship with OpenComposite, I want to like and use it, but I keep having issues.
For reference, I'm still rocking the Reverb G2 on a 5900X with a 3080 Ti. With the default setup through WMR for SteamVR I'm having some bad performance issues at spire sites and planetary AXCZ, and I was hoping to get better results with OpenComposite. So I spent this evening fiddling with it (again, as I do every three to six months), and I'm very frustrated, because I didn't even get to performance testing.
First, I installed a fresh copy of the OpenComposite switcher and set the default runtime to be OpenComposite, but I got a crash window when I tried to launch Elite. I made sure the Elite directory was wiped of all traces of EDHM and the fixed foveated dll I was using, but no dice. It only worked when I manually replaced the game's openvr_api.dll with the one you can download from their github. I suspect the dll the switcher downloads is a different one than the one offered for download on their github. Anyone had this issue before?
Second, once I got it to run, I was, again, very disappointed by the visual artefacts I was getting: In the cockpit, dropping into reprojection made the star background jutter like crazy, making me effectively see every star double. Not the foreground, not the POI markers, nothing else - just the starfield.
On foot, I am still having the issue of the weapon jittering like crazy when aiming down sights and moving sideways. Both these issues persist for me for.... probably over a year now, and they persist through a plethora of both driver versions (when I first had the ADS issue I was on driver version 433.somethingorother, today I'm running 546.33) and OpenComposite versions.
Anyone else got similar issues or knows where I should look before I throw this on the "doesn't work for me" pile for another six months?
