reported Native OpenXR mask is inverted

[YoYo]

No mods, MT version, the same:

BIGNEWY made an internal report anyway because he's seeing it too. I've just asked him to check this XRNeckSafe thing just in case.

I'll keep you posted.

Understood. I can wait. Especially now that I know it's on the (probably long ) list.

I never liked having goggle vision. Not that it matters too much, but you can get rid of the mask by changing the HMDMask file 

to 0.5 instead of 1 for example, especially for content creators

float4 vsOctagonMask(in float2 pos:POSITION0): SV_POSITION0
{
    return float4(pos, 0.5, 0.5);

Can you be more specific as to where this is located?

It's the the bazar, shaders folder  ...look for HMDMask file and edit that .

I changed it to:

return float4(pos, 0.5, 0.5);

It did change the size of the mask but I still only see one side. 

I think I'll wait until there's a fix for this before using MT. 

Thanks for trying though.

This issue should now be fixed in OB.

Well, now VR Mask is not inverted, not, at least to me, it just doesnt work, no matter if option is checked or not

[Flappie]

Aw...

Is it the same for other players?

[Kiwi_Viper]

from what i can tell its necksafer arguing with openxr toolkit, the latest version of nexksafer does it but if i got back to 4a beta it works fine in ST dcs but none work at all in MT so not sure whats doing that i would have thought if it works on ST it should in MT ?

its the same here for both headsets , G2 and pico4

May I ask the obvious: are you using MSAA? Because VR mask works ONLY when at least MSAA x2 is applied...

I don't know why this is the case, but this "feature" is pretty old.

Yes, MSAA x2

I just popped the G2 on and started up DCS-MT; I still see the upside down and facing backwards issue unfortunately. My OpenBeta is up to date. Tried with OpenXR neck saver on and off. 

 

Edit: After a repair, it seems XRNeckSaver is still the culprit here. Starting DCS-MT without the app works fine and with the app recreates the inverted/backwards bug. Bummer.
