Anyway to remove the initial resolution OSD?
Does anyone know how I may or if it is at all possible to NOT show the resolution OSD that pops when launching games.. I've had a few people complain that it throws them off when the scene first loads. I'm using Unity3D Pro but I'm assuming it's something that can be turned off in the firmware? (I hope).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

- This only happens when the desktop resolution (for the Rift) and the resolution of the game are different. If they are the same, I believe you won't have a problem.
- I know, I totally hate that OSD too. One thing I did notice is that if a Unity game fires up and can show something very quickly, then you won't see the OSD at all. So, at least for your own creations, perhaps if you postpone all your resource/level loading for some point after you fire it up (after a main menu or something), then you can avoid it.

I suspect the issue here is that in those cases the Unity engine isn't changing the resolution of the screen. The OSD pops up whenever the device turns on or the video mode switches."drash" wrote:

Yes, I did notice that too.. In Unity, I do not receive the OSD, but if I build it and run, then I get it.. I think you may have something there with the postpone.. "OSD (omgee) Grace Period" lol.. Thanks!"cybereality" wrote:

Ah dang, I figured as much.. Thank you. I was just hoping there was someway to disable the OSD messages during scaling other than electronically or through firmware. :cry:
