ASW ruining the experience

[Johnny Dioxin]

Online sesh last night and all external views were ruined.

 

In fact, I was finding it considerably more difficult to read the cockpit dials and so on, too - but didn't realise it would be ASW.

 

Radio frequencies I have never had issues reading in the past, could only be read using VR zoom.

 

External views were awful. The models were reasonable at times, but the scenery was just a blurry mess. Same goes for DCSWorld 2.

Don't think that's because of ASW though... ASW may cause some bluriness when moving, but standing still, it should't affect view. Did you check your FPS and verified that ASW was in fact active in that sequence? I find that outside views like that is at a steady 90 FPS. ASW would cap the FPS at 45.

[Johnny Dioxin]

If it isn't ASW then it is the last update to 1.5.5 - and that was fine before the last Oculus update.

 

Nothing else has changed. You can see how well it was working in my other vids.

I'm pretty sure that the latest rift update has had known performance issues within dcs, might be your problem.

[Goblin]

Did you update Oculus to 1.10 and DCS to 1.5.5 at the same time? Or did you notice this blurriness in 1.5.4 with Oculus 1.10 as well?

 

You could check if it's indeed the ASW causing it by checking your FPS. If the blur disapear at 90 FPS, but is present at 45, you have your answer.

Is there a way to turn this ASW off? It makes flying DCS a really bad experience for me. The main problem is that when making sharp turns (meaning the scenery displayed in the rift changes quickly), ASW leads to a very jerky motion. I've read online then I can turn it off by pressing CTRL-Num1, and that indeed works, but it sucks that I will have to press this every time I go into the sim. The oculus website instructs "to disable ASW set its registry key to 0". Unfortunately I don't have a PhD in computer engineering to figure this out. Can somebody dumb it down for me. Thanks!

Brixmis: Your framerate does look horrendous though. Looks like you are 10fps or something, and that would defenetly explain why its blurry, with ATW/ASW.

So try and disable it (hotkey function) while in DCS, and see what it does.

In 1.5.5 I have no performance issues, running the latest Oculus update. Im windows 7 though, so no ASW for me.

You can check the frame rate with the performance HUD, a part of the Oculus SDK:

This has just been fixed - seemingly with the 1.5.5 update today. No problems at all now.

Where do you guys go to enable and disable ASW?

[Johnny Dioxin]

Should be Left Control and Numpad 1 to 4.

[Marklar]

Control-Numpad1: Disables ASW and returns to the standard rendering mode.

Control-Numpad2: Forces apps to 45Hz with ASW disabled. Depending on the application, you are likely to experience judder.

Control-Numpad3: Forces apps to 45Hz with ASW enabled. Enabling and disabling ASW will help you see the effects of ASW.

Control-Numpad4: Enables ASW. ASW automatically turns on and off, depending on whether the app maintains a 90Hz frame rate. This is the default runtime rendering mode.

ASW destroyed my experience, see the thread about really bad tearing and the screen looking as though I was looking through glass with water running down it.

 

It's LCTL + NumPad 1 to turn it off.

Weird , ASW works like dream here :)

Fine here as well!

[Johnny Dioxin]

I've had the same effect as you describe, tom1502, on occasion - even when everything else looked okay, on our online session in the Ka-50's a couple of days ago. I described it as graphics warping at the time.

 

I think it's been established on several forums, that the effect of ASW is hardware dependant. Not in the way it was intended, but in the way that it can mess things up.

[Rangi]

All I can think of when I see ASW mentioned is anti-submarine warfare, it's just too ingrained in my mind to think of anything else.

...got the same issue.... will try the keys that U posted....

 

THX for that hint!

Im having the same issue here. Everything looks warped and weird. i tried the cntrl numpad1 and it didnt make any difference. this sucks.
