Problem with Samsung Odyssey+, severe eye strain only in elite, unplayable

[chomik]

So i recently got my new Odyssey plus and now i got problem only in Elite, all other games work fine...

So for start this is what works fine:
1. Windows mixed reality app works great, looking around and all
2. Steam VR Home works great and apps on it too.
3. Revive and apps on it also OK

But when launching Elite i immediately feel eye strain in menu and in game, cant stand it for more than a minute, feeling like im crossing my eyes and they try to focus hardly.
And when i remove headset after, I got weird crossed eyes and gotta focus back to see normal again.
No way to use this HMD like that.

I have tried reinstalling WMR, Steam and Elite and tweaking warious settings in steam VR and Elite config file but theres not really options to fix what im experiencing.
Only thing i have found online was people with DCS and IRacing games were experiencing same problem. DCS got fixed by its developers and now boasts in game tool for aligning left and right hmd display settings.
Still, theres surely many people using Odyssey plus and since i cannot find any posts about this problem maybe its just me?

Hey chomik, I've got an Odyssey+ and when I first started using it it felt like my eyes were having to refocus all the time, doesn't sound as bad as your experience but it was uncomfortable. I wasn't playing other VR games to compare it to.

However, my main problem however was how painful I found wearing the headset, and after removing the built in padding (including the forehead) and modding my own to make it comfortable the eye refocusing problem went away.
I 'think' it's because my eyes are now much closer to the display, although I do find that the ED hud can sometimes still be at weird focal distances.

Thanks for the reply. Removing padding indeed makes your eyes closer to lenses and makes sweet spot bigger.
Sadly my problem persists, getting this crossed eyes problem only in Elite, padding removed or not.
Running out of ideas how to fix it, last thing i can think of is that i had Oculus some time back connected to this PC and maybe there are some legacy settings in the registry or something left over from oculus that Elite uses for my Samsung Odyssey, and that makes picture for eyes missaligned.
I think problem is that Elite renders one eye higher/lower than the other eye. Or Eyes too close to each other/too far.

Solved!
I had to install WindowsMixedRealityforSteamVR (beta) version.
Then i added
},
"NoInterEyeRotation" : {
"DOOMVFRx64.exe" : true,
"EliteDangerous64.exe" : true,
"EliteDangerous_Executable.exe" : true,
"EliteDangerousExecutable.exe" : true
}
to the "default" file in: Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MixedRealityVRDriver\resources\settings

I'm not sure which one of elite app name is correct, but i dont care anymore to check that. What matters is that it works flawlessly now like any other app, no disortion at all.
