Advanced GPU OVR metrics not working

I've been using OVR Metrics HUD with the advanced GPU metrics since it was made available, and for the most part it has worked very well. Lately though it just stopped working and is giving me garbage values, and I've tried factory resetting, downloading older versions of it, enabling different settings in different orders and nothing is working for me!

It's something that I really need to be able to work efficiently so if anyone could help out it'd be amazing!

I also encountered the same problem.

The problem I'm having is that ovrgpuprofiler is running normally, but the ovr matrics tool doesn't detect it, prompting me to enable ovrgpuprofiler

How to solve this problem?

I am having the same issue. Ran 

ovrgpuprofiler -e

then ran the app and the option in OVR metrics still doesn't work.

Figured it out:

The command is now
adb shell setprop debug.vr.gpuprofilingservice 1
ovrgpuprofiler -e isn’t the right command anymore (as of time of this writing)

I'm able to see OVRMetrics GPU stats after running RenderDoc with a development build.  Running ovrgpuprofiler -e doesn't have an effect.  I see in the RenderDoc logs that "ovrgrpuprofiler -d" is being run, which isn't documented but maybe that's the key
