OVR Toolkit News

19-07-2021

Added:
- Added wrist button to quickly disable Touchscreen Input.

Changes:
- Enabled window saving on application quit. (This was previously disabled due to cache issues, but these seem to be resolved)
- Changed all references for the web server from domain name to direct IP to avoid DNS issues.
- Custom Apps now show as 'Untitled Custom App' in Window List instead of 'Unknown' if the developer hasn't set a window title.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed a window reloading issue where all desktop windows would revert to desktop 1.
- Fixed Custom Apps not being added to the favourites menu in Simulator Mode.
- Fixed the loading screen not appearing, again. (3rd time now? I keep leaving the loaded object enabled in Unity after making changes. Forget to disable it again!)
- Improved window saving reliability.

- Windows cursor will no longer be moved to the top left of the screen when in Simulator Mode and not pointing at an overlay.

- Improved crash handling and prevention.

Game closing whenever you get an OVR Toolkit update? Disable 'Game Theatre' in the Steam desktop client settings!

Added:
- Added a 'Disable GPU Capture' button to the settings window outside of VR when a potential crash was detected.

Changes:
- Night light is now disabled until it can be re-implemented to support the new rendering technique.
- If a window is open but not selected, Window Settings will automatically select this window.
- Setting quick icon for windows will now longer close the Window Settings menu when clicking it on a none-active window.
- Greatly improved smoothness and GPU usage of 'Max Framerate' option.
- Re-worded 'Waiting for overlays to generate' to 'Waiting for headset to be tracking' to better reflect the situation.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed window sizes not saving when resizing by the quick controls.
- Fixed a cursor offset issue in seated play games when using a curved window. (This was a nightmare to fix thanks to weird SteamVR coordinate stuff)
- Fixed an issue with the program not closing on Steam when shut down. (UWP Bridge didn't close so parent process OVR Toolkit.exe wouldn't close either)

Small PSA:

As there will be several hotfixes for the current public release to iron out some kinks, please ensure you have followed the advise on this image to avoid your VR game being closed whenever an OVR Toolkit update is pushed.

The SteamVR devs are aware of this issue and are hopefully planning a fix for it. :)
