The VR Dashboard "V" is now in Open Beta!
- Thread starter IM0001
- Start date
Still having a few issues with performance I get frequent freezes where either Netflix will freeze for a split second or ED will. Feels uncomfortable in VR and frame rate still drops to around 70 fps lots of spikes. The other thing is when I leave a station Kate will ask me if I would like to clear the area. If I say yes she boosts as intended but whatever I'm watching pauses and so does V only way to sort it out to get it working is to close V and close ED then restart any ideas many thanks

Yes, Vive support is being worked on actively.
Congrats on the new version of V! Just tried it out - I missed the update clearly - and its awesome now! I had lots of issues with it before; hard to get working, typing in things was difficult, had real problems turning it off.. all things of the past, this version is amazing ; and with Netflix? I can go on long distance explores in VR again! and with touch support - genuinely great work!
should add - I'm still getting the unwanted input any time Im using the interfaces.. but now it spins left, instead of the old pulling back on the stick.. meaning I keep travelling in the right direction and there is less chance of plunging into a star - but yes the problem of unwanted inputs persists - i have tried deleting the app data as above, no joy.
The behaviour of the apps themselves though is much improved, and yes Discord is listed, but I don't use it personally - if its implemented as well as the others it should be great.

I ended up uninstalling it today. The fact that it would seize control of the inputs just made me not want to interact with it, as it flung me into a star more than once (usually I want to look things up while hyperjumping, etc, which apparently is the worst time to try to use it). Since the UI can't be up during any scene change, it won't be useful for watching videos on long journeys, which was the main reason I looked for this. I might try it again if the input issues can be resolved.
Needs more work. The control seizing is VERY annoying. The inability to change the size of a window is also annoying (you can scale, but not change the aspect). The transition from keyboard to window is clunky, and there is very limited mouse support. That, and I have not seen any dev communication for many weeks.
Such a shame

Still way too much performance drain to be usable for me, my computer struggles so hard to play the game in VR as-is so it looks like a hardware upgrade is in order.
So someone else asked this question and it went unanswered: Is it possible to inject arbitrary applications into a VR game using "V", or can it only open browser pages?
I'd -love- to be able to inject EDDiscovery panels into the game while in VR.
Alternatively, does anybody have any programming references as to how to inject stuff into VR? Perhaps it's something that can be coded into EDD.

You could use OVRDrop to overlay any window you want into Elite but you'd have to run Elite via SteamVR rather than direct (which you can do)

Via V - no, just the browser windows they bring in.
I'm also pretty sure it is still active as I've seen comments from the developer(s) on their Discord.

ED keeps crashing on start when Hello V is enabled. has anybody experienced this and have a quick fix for this?
I do not think we use v because the game is boring , rather it's by habit, like listening to the radio when we go in the car, I always have some background while playing, except in iracing where I need to hear the engine
If V didn't take over your HOTAS, had better window management, allowed 16:9 ratio windows, and allowed mouse control (somehow), it would be worthy. I believe in ED, the way it works is very much a hack, as normally you can't overlay things onto a Rift HMD display due to the way it works. So I guess that might be the reason for the limitations.
Agree 100%, exploration and, more specifically, exploration on vr is dead for me.
