Varjo Aero: Общее руководство для новых владельцев

[speed-of-heat]

could you maybe describe the problem you are having ?

[GPatricks]

You are using Varjo Foveated, not mbuccia's Quad-views, correct? I would also uninstall XRTK, I see it's disabled but (for me) I would eliminate it as a potential issue. Get the OpenXR Layers GUI app to see exactly what APIs are loading - https://github.com/fredemmott/OpenXR-API-Layers-GUI/releases/tag/v2024.09.09

Mine looks like this (order of them loading can make a difference also!) -

A DCS re-installtion seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the prompt responses all

What's everyone doing now that quite a bit has changed with Quad Views, etc?  I see mbuccia's post stating to not use his Varjo-Foveated (here: https://github.com/mbucchia/Varjo-Foveated/wiki)  and instead use the new feature in the latest version of Varjo Base (post here: https://varjo.com/vr-lab/make-the-best-out-of-your-varjo-experience-update-on-varjo-quad-view-eye-tracked-foveation-and-varjo-base-settings/) with the manually added registry keys. 

The latest version of DCS now has Quadviews and eye tracking options in the settings as well..  so I'm wondering if anyone has experimented with what is the best way to use eye-tracked foveated rendering with the Aero with all of these recent changes?

Quadviews works in DCS, but Mbuccia DFR still gives you the best performance by a lot 10 to 15fps more in my case, and better visuals.

So are you leaving the Quadviews and eye track settings off in DCS and still using the Varjo-Foveated plugin from mbucchia?

You need to check Quadviews ON in DCS for Mbuccia DFR to work

General consensus from the Varjo Discord is to turn Quad-views ON, turn Eye Tracking OFF in DCS menu, and that Mbuccia's Varjo Foveated is still the best one (more options to tweak it)..

Cool, I'm doing that now (quad views on but dcs eye track setting off) but using the new Varjo reg key to force eye tracking and it seems to be working great. Performance seems a bit better than before the recent update.  I had uninstalled mbucchias plug in because at first I was getting some strange behavior but I think it was because I had the eye tracking dcs option enabled.

Did a new install in the beginning of the year and havent used DCS since. But it's time!

 

Is still the first post valid, like using How to: Varjo OpenXR Mode which worked very fine for me with foveated rendering etc ?

Or do we have any other way to use the varjo today?

No idea what the 1st post says but it's simpler than ever. There is no more beta, and both the exe's (\bin\dcs.exe and \bin-mt\dcs.exe) are identical now. DCS is native OpenXR, all you need to do is install either Mbuccia's Varjo Foveated or add the registry keys to run Varjo's native FR (I prefer Mbuccia's for its ability to be tweaked). Enable Quad views, DISABLE Eye Tracking (in DCS settings), and go..

Thanks, good the get that verified    (I did find info about that on the mbuccias page after writing the post).

Remember, you tweak the Mbuccia Varjo FR via the settings.cfg file in "C:\Program Files\OpenXR-Varjo-Foveated" .. mine is below.

peripheral_multiplier=1 ----- (this can be reduced to .8 to increase FR)
focus_multiplier=1.6     ----- (this is normally set ~1.4 for good visuals)
horizontal_focus_scale=1 -- ( I leave alone)
vertical_focus_scale=1 ---- ( I leave alone)
turbo_mode=1 ------------ ( I leave alone, you want Turbo ON)
no_eye_tracking=0 ------- ( I leave alone, =setting to 1 kills eye tracking)

Thanks! Much appreciated  

I had a very nice setup with mbuccia and multithreading before the reinstall (W11 would not upgrade for some reason so I had to perform a clean install). 
 

I had 90fps constant with MT and Mbuccias so I’ll try to get back to that convinient setup
