It's really annoying. The text states something about rendering and resolution. About 4 lines of text. Annyone know how to remove this? Edit: The text is also visible on the 2D screen/image, you can see the text in the bottom left. I'm currently not using any mods. Thanks! The screenshot shows autoexposure: OFF in the bottom left, that option is not present in DCS setting. So you may be using a 3rd party mod with postprocessing ability and on-screen overlay, just have to turn off that overlay somehow. PC: 5800X3D/4090, 11700K/3090, 9900K/2080Ti.

Darpa Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 My new computer is arriving shortly (4090, i9-14900KF) and I will be setting it up with the Varjo Aero. I have been reading the opening message to this thread and I will be using the option listed as: "How to: DCS multi-threaded via Varjo OpenXR” One question: I understand that using mbucchia’s Varjo Foveated mod will give me Foveated Rendering but if I do not use it (if I just use DCS MT exe with default Varjo OpenXR) will everything function properly (i.e. no quad view issues or cursor problems etc.)? … Or do I need to use the mod to get rid of any possible functionality problems as well as getting Foveated rendering? Thanks

It can work right out of the box without any mods or command lines, but you have to use Steam OpenXR instead of Varjo OpenXR. Steam OpenXR currently does not support Varjo quadview or eyetracking so you will lose those benefits. On the other hand, Steam will convert the default quadview output from DCS (which does not work correctly unless you use mbucchia’s mod) into working stereoview without the need for mod or command line; and Steam overlay can also be quite useful allowing you to place a desktop window within DCS (discord, pdf viewer, etc.), or run concurrent SteamVR apps with DCS (for example, fpsVR).
