Does Steam VR SS slider work or must I use BOS config file to set it?

[Kalo]

Hello all,

 

I just recently purchased my Rift and I'm still getting everything all dialed in. Loving the experience of this game in VR btw...

 

I just found that there is an SS (super sampling) checkbox and slider built into Steam VR. Mine was set at 1.7 SS although the default is 1.0. (I have no idea why mine was set to 1.7 when it clearly states default is at 1.0, did it interrogate my rig and see it could handle 1.7?)

 

anyway I had used the BoS CFG file and inserted the line that forced the game to SS 1.3 (i felt that would be a good compromise from what i read here on the forums)

 

So my questions:

1) Does the steam VR slider work in BoS and all the other games that I launch through it? (only DCS currently)

 

2) If it does work then should i remove the entry i placed into the CFG file for the 1.3 SS? 

 

3) What was happening with the CFG file forcing 1.3 SS and the Steam VR launcher set at 1.7? Did this equal to 2.0 SS?

 

Hope this wasn't a dumb question but I like to understand all my system settings and all this VR stuff is very new to me.....

 

Thank you

 

Kalo

Given the differences in the benchmark test results when setting different SS settings via SteamVR's slider, I'd have to say that it seems to be working in BoS.  Not sure how or why you would try to force any particular setting using the BoS .cfg file (didn't even realize that was possible - must have missed that thread/post).

Since I have a Rift, I have always just used the Oculus Tray Tool with a profile for BoS to set my SS.

Welcome to the growing IL2 VR club!

 

1) Yes.

2) Yes

3) No idea, never use the CFG file. But when using SS don´t put it in two places.

 

SS can be placed in several ways (OTT, ODB, SteamVR). Just remember that SS_SteamVR is (SS_OTT)^2.
