Hey, did you figure this out yet? same issue for me lol. can't find the solution on this forum. maybe I skipped over it though.

Yeah, this one is compatible with Oculus. Same author, newer work

I haven't done much testing still messing around with it

Universal VR shader gives much more sharpen quality and nice color adjustment. And its broken in DCS now, because Opencomposite not compatible with DCS anymore.
All above is about Oculus headset.

As I have posted elsewhere, I find the ReShade "mod" from https://reshade.me does not work with Quest2. so, what should I use instead?

It's not the same, but try 3Dmigoto VR mod for DCS

At least it works with Quest 2

I have been using this for quite a while and it is great.

After watching how the ReShade helps in 2D and find out that it does not work in VR, I did a search and find this:

https://boneworks.thunderstore.io/package/Alfi/Reshade_VR_Package/

So far it is okay. I have made a video using it and I am still in the process of tuning it.

Lo uso da un po' ed è fantastico.

Dopo aver visto come ReShade aiuta in 2D e aver scoperto che non funziona in VR, ho fatto una ricerca e ho trovato questo:

Finora va bene. Ho realizzato un video utilizzandolo e sono ancora in fase di messa a punto.

Only work steam vr?

Thanx

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Cause I use SteamVR for FSR and Necksafer so I have not check native.

Guys, I installe vrperfkit and obviuosly it overvrite my Reshade lib so know it didn't work anymore.

There's a work around to have vrperfkit and Reshade? And if yes...how?

VRperfkit give me a good bost on fps but I love my Reshade profile, it make so realistic the normal dull color that DCS tend to have.

Thx.

I'd love to know that as well.  Atm, it's one or the other!

Both use DXgi.dll

Rename one DXgi.dll to d3d11.dll

 

I personally rename the one in the VRPK archive, but I think I read you can do either.

So, I have already installed vrperfkit, now I must download, decomp Reshade 5 and then rename the dll, after that launch the installer? Sorry a bit noob

I'd recommend that. Even better, you can use OvGME or similar to build the proper folders and toggle them off/in the future... in the event of an update or need to do a repair install, sure comes in handy.

Forgive me, can You (You will hate me) tell me step by step what I have to do?
I have vrperfkit installed and working, from there how I must proceed? Ihave also OVGME.
Thx for Your patience.

I haven’t looked into it, but how do you tell reshade to look for the new renamed dll?

Here's the dev comments.

Is there a way to integrate ReShade? I've been using the VrFSR mod for a while with DCS, along with ReShade and it'd be nice to keep that option.

I haven't tested if they work together, but you can rename either of the DLLs to d3d11.dll to install them alongside each other.

 

[imacken]

Thanks for that. It works a treat!

Basically, I created a folder to store any mod I use in OvGME. Then say for FSR, or VRPK (knowing they go in the DCS bin folder) I start with a folder named FSR, inside that create a folder named bin, then extract or copy the files needed into that folder, then toggle on/off in OvGME.

For ReShade once I did the initial install in the past, and later had to do a DCS repair, and had it save backup once finished, I then copied the ReShade related content from the appropriate DCS backup folder created after repair. I copied those files to a similar 'ReShade/bin" folder for later use.

I'm not seeing any difference between the VR PerfKit and the OpenFSR when items are set to the same settings.  Even if I toggle Fixed Foviated to true... I dont see any frametime or FPS differences even though i'm GPU limited and 99% utilized.

In addition, I cant SEE any difference of the fixed foviated enabled alone, so my only assumption is that it doesn't yet do anything or is bugged.  Anyone tried this?

Otherwise, I'm very happy locked at 90FPS on a Reverb G2 with Open FSR and SimplerEye Reshade.

FFR does not work , unless you use this fork cedriclmenard/vrperfkit: VR Performance Toolkit (github.com)

I don't understand the whole "Fixed" Foveated Rendering.  Foveated Rendering is for headsets that track your eye and only render where your eye is looking.  "Fixed" Foveated Rendering... doesn't it basically mean it's NOT doing Foveated Rendering?

The way he described in his GitHub "by rendering the outer areas of the VR images at a lower resolution while still rendering the center of the image at full resolution"  That's what VR headsets do by default.  So I'm not exactly sure what it's for.

If you enable the FFR (fixed foveated render) then you can see the effect clearly on the 2D mirror. Certainly my G2 renders full resolution right out to the display edges, that high resolution is then blurred by the Fresnel lenses so the FFR effect is almost invisible in the headset. It would look terrible in a varjo with the wide sweet spot.

The fixed FFR fork gives me another 1-1.5ms give or take with the default settings.

[speed-of-heat]

Hey Taz, sort of yes sort of no, the Fresnel lenses certainly give that effect, but they are rendered at the same resolution; FFR just reduces the processing power required... it needs careful balance to avoid visual artefacts
