Can ASW be disabled out of app, without using keyboard?
With the release of ASW, the forums that I am on for personal gaming are alive with both compliments, and complaints. When ASW works well, it is great. But, for example, in iracing, it simply doesn't for many users. Everyone is confused, because, the ASW is kicking in, but they are not even aware that ASW exists, for example.
For whatever reason, Oculus hasn't really announced it to the public on the release of the software update. It simply installs, and there is no UI button for disabling it. Rather it uses the numpad keys, which, news flash, some keyboards don't even have. Of course you can use a virtual keyboard, but that requires starting the keyboard every time you launch the game.
Complaints aside, CAN this be disabled permanently, for those that don't benefit from it? Myself included, as ASW kicks in on occasional frame drops, but, with a titan xp, the occasional frame drops are never extreme. Now ASW kicks in and the quality, in my case, is much worse.
I tried deleting the registry key, but, that doesn't seem to do it? Is there something that can be done. If not, I would HIGHLY recommend a UI setting that gives the options that are the archaic key presses decided on. Sorry, I know you folks put a ton of work into this, and for many it will be amazing, but it needs to be an option, that is obvious, and explained, to your user base.

- I also second that there should be some kind of application control over ASW. Games such are racing are critical to have most up to date information and reprojection doesn't help driver skill at all :)
- You are absolutely right sir. This ctrl+numpad thing is complete nonsense.
- Unfortunately, I don't think there is any way to disable this permanently. I do hope the folks at Oculus will listen to their user community. I'm not sure what thought process was put into this. Releasing a feature that, without question, is going to have varying results on varying platforms and games, not communicating it to the user community as a whole, and leaving the ability to disable it to an esoteric key stroke combination. You folks dorealize that the average user of your platform doesn't read your developer forums to understand what this feature even is, and you have enabled it default.
- Bump...bump....bump...
