nibbio Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 "Depth information" means information about the actual position of each pixel in the 3D world. ... This information is usually stored in a "depth buffer". ... Some games or game engines already supply their depth buffer (Unreal/Unity) and will automatically benefit from ASW 2.0. Not sure if DCS does or doesn't at the moment. Thank you for the detailed information. I hope it won't be too complicated for the devs to provide the depth buffer in a forthcoming update.
dburne Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 I updated to the 1.37 beta as well and noticed smoother operation as well. It was a pretty involved update, had 11 segments. I am looking forward to DCS accommodating ASW 2.0. Thanks. I saw a noticeable improvement in 1.37 also.

Mr_sukebe Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Is it easy to update to the beta? Yes. Go into Settings (in the Oculus homepage), then Beta, and click on the button to say that you want to join the beta. Then go into notifications, and click on the update.

Bearskin Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I switched to Oculus Beta to get the ASW 2.0 support and what a difference, single player stuttering has vanished and online has reduced massively. Also when looking forward and turning my head left to look at the left wing, when I got to about 55 degrees the screen would freeze, then rubber band to catch up with my turning, that is now not happening, just a fluid screen movement.

Kayos Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Seems a bit smoother maybe? Can't really tell. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Bearskin Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Placebo effect... Not for me, I am running a 970 and the game for me is a lot smoother, maybe for the users with a newer gfx card there is no difference. Z790, 13700K, RTX4080, 32 gig RAM, Warthog, WarBRD base , Virpil Pedals, Pico 4

dburne Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 It may not be ASW 2.0, but the difference with 1.37 runtime is real. Agree. 1.37 seems to provide a little better performance for me. I would note I also fly with ASW off.

javelina1 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 maybe placebo... but from my butt metrics, I've also noticed it seemed better with beta 1.37. Like Don, I do run with ASW off.

VampireNZ Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Also just updated to latest nVidia 425.31 drivers and the Oculus 1.37 and noted an increase in performance compared to the exact same flight before the updates. (although Oculus app now continually showing the Oculus Software Update under Pending, but downloaded, and only a pause or x??) Vampire
Drac Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Sounds like the latest driver is a go. I'm curious, did you notice a performance improvement with the driver itself?
VampireNZ Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Sorry - I actually installed both at the same time then went for a fly - prob should have tried seperately... Edited April 12, 2019 by VampireNZ Vampire
dburne Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 I found a nice little performance improvement in Rift software 1.37 in both my combat flight sims.

Specter Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Any Oculus Rift user confirm improvement?

nrosko Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 I'm not seeing any improvement at all, in fact it may even be worse as ASW was not that noticeable unless flying prop planes, would have to do some back & forth testing to be sure though. Regarding ASW 2.0 you do not need to update to 1.37 as its enabled in 1.36. I think 1.37 has a bug fix that was causing performance issues for some people.

noxyd Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 1.37 and last nvidia driver did not show noticeable improvements for me.
