2 Eyed Monster

[Fang333333]

I've been working hard on tweaking my sim lately and another problem I have been meaning to correct is the 2 eye VR preview issue. There must be a way to get the sim to display ONE eye (Preferbly the right, BUT ANY will do!). I have researched this a little already and I realize there are recording software and other means of correcting this but I am not interested in that. I am only doing recording via Nvidia for various reasons.

 

Come on guys, there has to be a setting in cfg or something to enable full screen previews! It stinks because I feel this is a major way to attract new people to the sim. I livestream via FB and YouTube (just started) and it stinks that there is no way for them to see the world as I do. 

 

Ideas?

First person to finally slay the 2 Eyed monster gets a free glass of iced tea faxed to them!

Sure that isn't a urine sample?

Oh man, if you can deal with a perf hit, yes, there is a way -- here let me fire up SteamVR and take a screenshot for you...

 

You can even tell it to display one eye, both eyes, or merge them together!

More features of the VR window explained...

Just to reiterate, this will cause a significant performance penalty.

I believe Fang is asking for native one-screen rendering, like it was done in IL-2 until it was changed to two-eyes in late summer 2017.

 

 

SteamVR just pops up a second window, so now it'll render 2 eyes plus one eye, and your PC becomes 3-eyed.

Hi all!

Thank you for your replies! Thanks for the Steam feature, I had no idea about that. However, I think Wolf may be right. I'm on a laptop here, (Expensive, powerful, and new but I doubt 3 rendering screens will go over smoothly).

I won't tell if you won't.

Thanks! So I tried this anyway and I cannot control the sim with the steam open. I do have the launcher version at the moment.

You’d have to... hmm

 

run it in a window, and then just have this window on a separate monitor, and broadcast that*

I'm on  laptop. I actually find that for the non-steam version it seems to be difficult. For example if I uncheck fullscreen it is still fullscreen. Even if I get it into windowed mode AND eat the performance hit the game still does not recognize keyboard commands. It has to be selected, putting the Steam preview screen in the background and thus not recorded by shadowplay.

I'm not gonna lie, this glass of Iced Tea is starting to look a little moldy...
