Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR Beta Updated

Hi All, just saw this:

 

 

Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR Beta Updated
Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR has been updated to version 1.1.186. This build contains the following changes:

Fixed an issue with skeletal input not being available for custom input bindings.

Added a whitelist to allow specific titles to always respect the SteamVR motion smoothing settings, regardless of what motion reprojection mode is specified in default.vrsettings.

Updated the motion reprojection indicator to always show when enabled, regardless of current reprojection mode (previously, the indicator only showed when reprojection mode was set to auto).

Updated default.vrsettings to explicitly set the motion reprojection mode to disabled by default.

Updated how the motion reprojection setting is handled (see below).

Motion Reprojection Setting Changes
This beta makes changes to how motion reprojection settings can be managed. Like before, the default.vrsettings file can be modified to specify the reprojection mode to use for all titles. As a reminder, the possible values are:

disabled - motion reprojection is never applied.

auto - motion reprojection is applied if the running title cannot maintain native framerate.

motionvector - motion reprojection is always applied.

Alternatively, if you're using Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR in conjunction with the latest SteamVR release, you can now use SteamVR to manage motion reprojection settings on a per-application basis. To enable this functionality:

Ensure you're running a supported version of SteamVR (1.10.28 or greater).

Remove the "motionReprojectionMode" line from default.vrsettings.

In the SteamVR settings, select Video > Per Application Video Settings.

Select the title you're interested in, and change the motion smoothing option.

Motion Smoothing Setting
Use Global Setting - no application specific override. The global default mode is auto.

Enabled - motion reprojection runs in auto mode, applying reprojection if the application cannot maintain native framerate.

Disabled - motion reprojection is never applied for the application.

Force Always-on - application runs at half-framerate with reprojection.

ETA: Added Steam link

 

in full screen mode i'm getting way more FPS on the same settings on 2.5.5 by using steam motion smoothing per application than i did with auto in default,vrsettings, but it is no where near as smooth very juddery

So you went in and deleted the motionreprojection line in the settings file and just did it in steamvr now? I have not tried this yet.

Yep ran about 60fps, but it was pretty juddery

Hi All, just saw this:

 

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

With these notes I have now "readjusted" my settings for the Odyssey plus with RTX 2080Ti. Now have an even clearer texture and yet a smooth flight to Nevada and Dubai with these settings (pictures).

 

The Nvidia setting options with regard to sharpness and coloring here enable a further depth of field of the landscape.

I tried this. Commenting out the line in the settings file and enabling it per application (I had to run DCS for it to be an option) it worked just as I would have expected as if having it set to auto in the WMR settings file, i.e. ran at 45fps

 

Good to have it as an option in SteamVR per application but I don't think it actually changes anything once running?

doh thats what i was doing wrong, i set it to disabled, rather than commenting it out!

So which is better? Motion reprojection: Auto or MotionVector (always on)???

it seems to make very little practical difference, which you use. In practice i would always recommend that the majority of humans use the UI rather than a text editor to make changes ...

[BMGZ06]

So I think i did this right but I deleted the entire line in the settings file and these are my steam settings.

 

I do not see anything locked at 45fps but rather the FPS fluctuates with the settings in the pictures. fps is 40-73fpsin free flight in the hornet on caucasus

You have to comment out motion reprojection before anything can be overridden by steam

no idea what that means. Does that mean putting the "//" back in and setting it to auto like it is at default?

[speed-of-heat]

Putting the // comments out the line so yes. It doesn't make it auto, but that doesn't matter

ok got it. I am new to all this. Thank you Sir!

[BMGZ06]

Still really juddery for me even with higher FPS. Not sure what I am missing. I put back the // in the settings file and set the steamvr to motion smoothing enable and legacy reprojection on. I did restart steamvr as well

You have to restart windows mixed reality portal, and you have to save the file...

ya i saved the file and restarted but still runs at up to 70+ fps and not smooth at all. Going back to old method it runs smooth at 45fps.
