Question guys, since rF2 uses SteamVR, we set supersampling in SteamVR. But we need OTT, say, to run Performance HUD (thanks @ApollyonVR for the great app!), so do I have to set an rF2 profile here with PPD=0 so it doesnt conflict with SteamVR's Supersampling value?  And how about ASW, where do I set it so I can have it run in rF2 as either auto or fixed 45, in OTT? R;2 will read this setting from OTT? TIA.

You can set supersampling in either Steam VR or OTT, one or the other certainly not both.
Just create a profile in OTT for rF2, and set ASW for your preference for the rF2 profile.  Personally for me, my preference is if the game supports a Pixel Density setting, that is what I use first. If not, then I use the OTT to set my PD setting for the game.

I have one game - IL-2 that I have to use Steam VR for, but I set a profile for it in OTT for both Pixel Density (super sampling) and my ASW preference ( I prefer disabled for this game). 

So ASW can only be controlled through OTT, no where else? Thanks.

There is shortcut key combo, I believe cntrl+numpad 1 disables it iirc.

Hi, great job man .
I also ask you if you can explain what this message means :" Could not set rift as default audio, ID not found " ?
It is not  a bug with your software but it is related to my rift, the earphones are not working anymore and i just want to verify if it is a software problem or an hardware one, so this message is related to what issue please ?
What issue can cause the ID to be missing ?
Just to know before i send the rift to Oculus for repairing/replacing ...
Thanks.

 

Do you get audio if you select Oculus as your audio device outside of the OTT?

@netshaman I use a library called CoreAudioAPI from Microsoft to enumerate all audio and mic devices on the system. I get the ID for each device as the function for setting devices as default needs the ID of the device. I specifically also look for devices labeled "Rift Audio", that is the friendly name of both the audio and microphone devices for the Rift. And apparently one or both of these are not found, which i suspect might indicate a hardware issue or possibly an USB issue. I would suggest first contacting Oculus Support, but there are also some things to test.

I've noticed since a recent Home update my USB 2 ports won't accept the Rift anymore. However, my USB 3 ports which did not work before, now work just fine. So i would suggest that you start up Home, then click the cogwheel icon in the upper right corner and go to Settings. Once there, click Devices on the left. Keep this view open, and switch USB ports for the Rift and check what happens here. It might take a second or two but the rift should pop up. For me, using USB 2, it pops up then disappears after a few seconds.This probably indicates some sort of issue with the ports or that my particular USB 2 hardware has been blacklisted due to performance issues.

A second thing to check is in Device Manager (r.g. right-click My Computer -> Manage -> Device Manager).
At the top (or somewhere in there) you should have "Audio input and outputs". Both the Rift audio and mic should be listed here as "Headphones (Rift Audio)" and "Microphone (Rift Audio)". I they are not listed here your PC has not detected them. Which means it is either and issue with the USB port(s) or the headset. If switching ports does not help, i myself would try getting a separate, Rift compatible USB 3 card, making sure you can return it to the store. Try if that works, and if not then you can return the card and be fairly confident it is the headset itself causing issues. Just my two cents though.

Cheers!

Ok, thank you , as you said , the headphones ( rift audio ) are not listed in device manager, only "microphone ( rift audio ) ", but there is " rift audio " in " audio, video and game controllers ".
So it is an hardware issue with the rift itself, i can now send it for replacement , i will miss it   :)
Thank you for your help ! ;)

@ApollyonVR: Regarding WMI: That makes sense that you're using it for that purpose, but the fact that it will sometimes be idle and other times ramp up significantly is worrisome. I should mention I only have one profile in my list.

@FolkSong That is a bit weird indeed. On my system the WMI Provider sits at around 0.8% without OTT, and stays the same after starting it. When Home is started however, the OTT event watcher starts and monitors starting applications to see if any of them are a profile that needs to be handled. CPU usage rises to about 1.5-1.8%, so an increase of 0.7-1%. But it never jumps or spikes, it stays there. However, i took a look at the code and i don't actually stop the watcher and unsubscribe to the process watcher after Home is closed, leaving CPU usage the same. I will take a look at this and fix it for next release. Although that might cause issues with Steam games if you play those without Home running, so i need to take a closer look at this for sure. But i'll PM you and we can take a closer look at the spikes you are seeing and see if we can find the cause of that.

Cheers!

@ApollyonVR Lovely little tool, thanks for your hard work, I have a couple of issues though:

- I can't edit the "launch steam" voice command, everything else was editable (the launch steam command is not in the config file, maybe that's why?), and since the speech recognition seems to recognise anything it doesn't recognise as "launch steam" and I wanted to change that to "oculus, launch steam", that's a problem for me. :)  I've had to disable the voice commands which is a shame since the overlay voice commands are very useful.

- Alternatively, maybe allow for particular voice commands to be disabled? I could do without the "launch steam" command myself.

- The profiles can be hard to match to games. Like for example Elite: Dangerous (from the Oculus Store) which is known and displayed as ORID, presumably because ORID.exe that's in there is what is launched? Would it be possible for the name that's displayed to be improved, or maybe allow us to give our own names to these profiles?

I noticed that I can activate supersampling through voice controls in-game, but it doesn't seem to actually turn on.  I'm guessing this is because Oculus Home needs to restart for supersampling settings to take effect.  Is there a way to configure supersampling using voice controls while in-game?  That'd be incredibly handy.

Thank you for the excellent program by the way.  So helpful.

@shiari Super weird timing, i just released 0.70 a few hours ago which fixes just those things =) You can now edit the SteamVR voice command as well as disable individual commands. Regarding the Profiles, if you go to "Scan" in the Profiles window, and then on the "Quick Select" you select Oculus Library then the proper game/app names are shown to make it easier to select the correct .exe. I just noticed a bug there which causes an error, but this does not break the functionality, it's just a bug with writing the selected value to the Config.xml, i'll fix that shortly.

Cheers!
