Just a reminder of the <StereoExtraDisplay> for you DK2 users

Im sure new DK2 users miss this. When in extended mode you can get a nice mirrored game window on you main screen without much performancehit!
Its a non stereo, unwarped single display to show people around what you do in game. It work surprisingly well!

Just add:

<StereoExtraDisplay>
<Enabled>true</Enabled>
<Monitor>0</Monitor>
<Width>960</Width>
<Height>1080</Height>
<VSync>false</VSync>
<BehaviourIfStereoRenderDisabled>HideWindow</BehaviourIfStereoRenderDisabled>
</StereoExtraDisplay>

To your C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002\AppConfig.xml
You can chance the Width and Height to your liking. But it may give you the wrong aspect ratio.




Like this (from my AppConfig.xml file):

<AppConfig>


<StereoExtraDisplay>
<Enabled>true</Enabled>
<Monitor>0</Monitor>
<Width>960</Width>
<Height>1080</Height>
<VSync>false</VSync>
<BehaviourIfStereoRenderDisabled>HideWindow</BehaviourIfStereoRenderDisabled>
</StereoExtraDisplay>


<Display>
<ScreenWidth>1280</ScreenWidth>
<ScreenHeight>720</ScreenHeight>

<VSync>true</VSync>

<Monitor>0</Monitor>
<DX11_RefreshRateNumerator>60</DX11_RefreshRateNumerator>
<DX11_RefreshRateDenominator>1</DX11_RefreshRateDenominator>
<!-- If you are looking for the SSAA setting this has moved in to Settings.xml in the save directory
** typically: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics.
** If this file does not exist you can generate it by entering the graphics options screen in game
** and hitting apply. You can then add <SSAA>X</SSAA> when X is the SSAA amount (1 by default) -->
</Display>

Yes and even if it might be useless but some values i don't like to see them, I also use to change this value


<ScreenWidth>1920</ScreenWidth>
<ScreenHeight>1080</ScreenHeight>
<FullScreen>false</FullScreen>
<VSync>false</VSync>
<PresentInterval>1</PresentInterval>
<Adapter>0</Adapter>
<Monitor>0</Monitor>

Never know :D

PS: Have to do it every game Update.

Wondered about that myself - I usually calculate some rough aspect ratio from the top of my head when using it, but it needs to be roughly the ratio as in the original file.

On a side note - why didn't you just bump the original thread? It's in this subforum (probably merge?)....

Oh that "old" information, why not just keep asking the same questions again and again..................:)
Sorry I'm getting old.

Well thats true. I did a quick look to see if there were some topic on this, and didnt find it. But i see now that i have one on the bottom :) So yeah, by bad.

Noticed over the past few days since adding the additional window info to the appconfig file, ED has forced an update to override the change. Just saying.

Curious if this changed in later versions/Gamma. If I run in Direct to Rift mode, it automatically gives me a stereo image on my main monitor even though I don't want it... because it is limiting the refresh rate to 60hz (max of monitor).

EDIT: Tried below but didn't work either:

<StereoExtraDisplay>
<Enabled>false</Enabled>
</StereoExtraDisplay>

Yes, I'd love to be able to disable that stereo display in direct mode. Even if I could just change it to a non stereo display instead I'd be happy.
