Rift S - Change the default ASW value to mach the Rift's?

[obious]

Hi All,

 

For context, I had the Rift CV1 for about a year and loved it. With PD at 1.8, I was able to get constant 45fps with my settings and hardware (in signature).

 

Like a lot of people, I 'upgraded' to the Rift S and have been playing around with it for the past coupe of weeks but have slowly come to the conclusion that I'm not an entirely happy bunny.

 

My biggest problem is that ASW is locking frames to 40FPS with ASW turned on. This is not necessarily an issue but given I'm loosing 5fps (flying in pancake this isn't a problem but in VR it is), general flight just doesn't feel as smooth as it was before.

 

I've tried playing around with the rctrl + 1-4numpad options to disable/enable ASW but my rig simply isn't powerful enough to constantly fly with ASW off; I tried it a couple of times and its horrible, despite the fact that the HUD ghosting disappears etc.

 

I my question boils down to this; is it possible to change the 'default' ASW value (ie in the registry or somesuch) to lock frames at 45fps rather than 40 or is this locked aa the Rift S's panels are 80Hz vs. the Rift's 90Hz

 

Cheers

It’s locked to 80 based on how ASW works. It needs to be exactly half the refresh rate of the panel, so 45 for CV1 and 40 for S. The reason is it replaces every second frame with an interpolated frame to give you full refresh rate with only half the frame rate.
