Launcher query

[markturner1960]

Hi, I dont use the launcher, read it hogs resources, so just use the shortcut. My buddy does and he has additional VR menu items relating to quad view, that dont appear on the in game VR options menu. 

I have disabled teh launcher, so how do I re enable it to check if these options are there for me and second query, why are the options not available through the standard in game options menus?

Quad Views will only be available, and selectable, within the in-game menu if you have Quad-Views-Foveated installed (or an OpenXR runtime that natively supports this, eg PimaxPlay). The reason this shows up in the launcher is because it doesn’t check if this is present. Even if your friend sees it and can turn it on in the launcher it won’t do anything without QVF being installed. 

Also the launcher doesn’t hog resources, it just restarts DCS so I’m not sure where that information came from.

OK, thanks, regarding quad views, I was currently not using it ( the mbucchia version I mean) as I think it stopped working a update or 2 back....I was using a code line mod by sandman ( think thats right?) which sorted it, then next update it broke again.....I would like to make it work again, whats the process for this ? 

I just re enabled the launcher and the option is there now, when I enabled it, there is an exclamation mark and it says " warning - openXR layers detected" for XRneck safer , quad views foveated and open kneeboard. Do I need to do anything to sort this warning out? What is it for? 

Thanks!

Warning can be ignored, it just lists your available API layers. Looks like you have Quad Views in that list so should be all good. 
 

As long as it’s visible and ticked in the in-game menu (not just the launcher), then it should work fine. I’d put back the Mbucchia one now as the Sandbox version isn’t needed anymore.

OK, I have repaired my quad views install ( gave me that option or remove when I ran the installer..) and re installed quad views companion, enabled quad views in both launcher and in game. I have set the companion to show the purple dots so I can check its working, but am not seeing them or any foveated area when running VR.....

 

I appreciate we have diverged from the original topic, but got any ideas why its not working and what I can check? Thanks!

Start DCS completely (not just the launcher) and verify that your C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Quad-Views-Foveated\Quad-Views-Foveated.log file shows your expected settings and the pixel savings it's giving you.

If not then drop your DCS log file here, as well as your C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Quad-Views-Foveated\settings.cfg file.
