PSA: SteamVR beta supersampling slider is now a linear scaling of pixels

[VR StarLightPL]

Changed the supersample slider to no longer require a restart of SteamVR. Some application may require a restart for the new settings to take, but many existing applications respond correctly without restarting

Added an option to disable image filtering on supersampled renderings

Supersample slider now behaves linearly where 2.0 now means 2.0 times the number of pixels. Previously the slider was applied as a multiplier to width and height, so 2.0 used to mean (2.0 times 2.0 = 4.0) 4.0 the number of pixels. Existing settings will automatically be converted to the new linear scale.

yep and for me ED is much clearer now, slider is 3.4 and the filter is off, all text is crystal clear including the panels on the pilot controls!.

have U used beta before this upgrade ?

Does anyone know whether the super-sampling in the ED game settings is the same or different?

Existing settings will automatically be converted to the new linear scale.

Essentially what this means is that everyone using steamvr's application supersampling will need to adjust their values.

Does not compute...

true. missed that when copypasting.

Anybody??

Anybody??

I *think* the HMD-quality setting in the game settings applies Supersampling in the same way as Steam VR supersampling before the change a few months ago.
