With each update always update your IPD!

[Pixelpowder]

For anyone with blurry issues or out of focus issues you ned to remember to update your IPD settings each time you upgrade ED.
Heres how:

In your ED settings file the "IPDAmount" should match the "IPD" value of your Oculus profile. To fix this you copy the "IPD" value from C:\Users\@@@\AppData\Local\Oculus\ProfileDB.json and paste it to "IPDAmount" in your C:\Users\@@@\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics\Settings.xml file. Replace @@@ with your username.

Nice info I will update my stats tonight.

 

[Kaprylo]

Sry to be a noob. What is IPD ?

I believe its something to do with Occulous Rift.

 

[neo1874]

it means the distance between our pupils. There is a calibration you can do on this on the DK2 setup

 

[Kaprylo]

Ty I will do that.

 

[M0rdresh]

Wait, so games such as ED do not grab the IPD setting on a driver level and thus the rift configuration setting??

 

[Adam Lusardi]

By my IPDmount that gets hooked to ED I've seen fish with greater IPD............It was true but in beta......It they are not hooking to up with the OR config file then we should give up.

It's Inter-Pupil-lary Distance. If you look into someone's eyes you will see two schoolchildren staring back at you. The IPD is the distance between those two children. You can use a tape measure to get this size, but don't ask one of the children to hold an end for you. They'll just offer you an end of their own tape measure instead.

Suddenly I have an urge to eat a nice crisp juicy onion.

I strongly doubt this setting has ANY effect.
ED uses the SDK which supplies IPD from the oculus settings (and it works).

if you suffer from blurry vision your IPD is too far off from the 64.5mm lens-setup on the DK2.
Only a HARDWARE modification can solve that.

I have a 70ipd and the separators just don't work right for me (focus is completely off) so I deal with a blurry right eye. Its actually not to bad, my brain seems to filter it nicely.

 

[ENFORCER]

Thanks for this info OP, my IPD was 0.062, bit ED had it as 0.010. Has been driving me nuts how it has been different for a while.
Seems to have made it some much clearer.

You probably already know this but IPD measured by an optician is not always the same as the IPD calculated using the Oculus config utility. Something to do with there being a difference depending on whether you are focusing on distant rather than close objects.

I think its strange that you would need to manually enter these values. Has there ever been an official word on this or is it just a case of previously edited settings not getting updated after an update?

ps nice story frank

 

[Skeetorius]

Just did the latest update and my IPD didn't change back to default. Still the same it was when set months ago. Thanks for the update. I'll keep checking with every update to make sure.

 

[drkaii]

looks like I'm lucky, it's working fine from the get-go. Then again, I haven't fiddled, maybe it caaan be better. Either way thanks for the info!

 

[Pannad]

I didn't think that the IPD got reset any more. Just checked mine and it hasn't changed. Last time I remember having to manually change it was back in beta 2. Might be worth raising a ticket?

Nope you're wrong. I just did this and it made a MASSIVE difference. No placebo effect, massive difference.
