Steam VR BETA 1.17.8

Has anyone been able to test this new tool? has it been possible to get something clear?

While I did see what seems to be the effect they are going for (increased center clarity even with very small adjustments which did not impair peripheral vision) it messed with the convergence [at least in IL2, I did not try it in something else yet] and made it very uncomfortable. I suppose if that last bit is ironed out it might be interesting, especially for displays like the G2 has.

Seems the "Override World Scale" is available only in certain games.

On mine while it is available on Half Life Alyx and MSFS 2020, it is not on IL-2 or DCS.

Really? I can use it in IL2 although I already had it setup using the in-game IPD adjustment so it's not really that useful (for IL-2 specifically).

Nope on my end there is not a world scale option in Steam VR for IL-2.

Ok so I had another look and found out why the world scale option was not showing for me.

I have mine set in profile for the game for Motion Smoothing on and forced at 45 fps.

I changed it back to default and then I do have the world scale option available.

I will leave mine set to on and forced at 45 fps though, as that gives me best experience.

Ah... Silly question but since it's not 100% obvious because the scrollbar isn't very visible: are you sure it's not just "pushing" the options down and you have to scroll down to see them?

Not silly at all - bingo you are correct! All I had to do was scroll down to see it - duh!

Thanks!

Is Steam VR still inferior to the  Open Composite Runtime Switcher?

With Oculus, Open Composite will be a little leaner and meaner than Steam VR, meaning little better performance.
