OVR Toolkit News

02-07-2020

Added:
- Added 'Best effort' setting to Window Settings. (This can only be used with desktop captures on supported GPUs, will reduce input latency and provide more stable capture rate at the cost of performance!)
- Added 'Keyboard controls' page to settings window outside of VR to allow for keyboard control rebinding.
- Added Oculus-specific warning message to settings application to explain common issues.
- Added 'TranslateForward', 'TranslateRight', and 'TranslateUp' web API calls to move overlays easier.
- Added 'BlockMovement' web API call to block the user from moving an overlay.

Changes:
- When a window isn't found, simulator mode users can now press 'R' to refresh the window as the 'Search' button cannot be pressed without controllers.
- Improved seated play window reloading, reloaded window positions should be more accurate now. (You'll need to re-position your windows once more for this to work, sorry!)

Bug fixes:
- Fixed simulator mode movement keys not working in some situations.
- Fix missing flag on the settings window outside of VR.
- Fixed a re-centering issue with seated play games.
- Fixed a saving issue when playing seated play games.
- Fixed a keyboard position saving issue.
- Fixed overflowing text for 'Press key to rebind' on settings window outside of VR.
- Fixed head gaze being enabled before opening Edit Mode for the first time.

(Sorry seated play gamers, might break your window layout on load but should load way more reliably going forward!)

22-06-2020:

Added:
- Added virtual keyboard position saving.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed issues with overlay positions when switching between seated/standing play games. (This took >3 days< to find a solution for btw, hence not much added this week)

- Fixed an issue that would cause the Simulator Mode UI to not appear.
- Improve window reloading reliability.

15-06-2020

Added:

- Added volume page accessible from Global Settings.
- Added Italian translations.

Changes:

- Standing and seated play experiences now use the same window layout. (Seated layout will be lost, sorry!)
- Edit mode no longer closes when transitioning between standing and seated play experiences.
- Charging started sound is now at 0% volume by default. (This is to avoid issues with people using TrackStrap Plus or other additional batteries that cause repeated starting/stopping charging)

Bug fixes:

- Fixed an issue that could prompt the installer to appear multiple times after the initial installation.
- Fixed an issue that could cause duplicate Task Scheduler entries. (The installer will fix this when you verify the game files)
- Fixed an issue where the menu would appear when more than 2 controllers have been connected to SteamVR.
- Fixed uninstaller not removing some config files. (Mostly all issues should be fixed by verifying files on Steam now, woooo)
- Fixed Compact UI not showing full UI when a prompt is active. (Such as the 'Launch application' prompt)
- Removed old logic that was reset small windows to displaying the desktop. (Didn't work as intended)

01-06-2020

Added:

- Added FPS counter to performance stats. (Based on SteamVR frame times, not application performance!)
- Updated keyboard sounds. (Now has a different backspace sound!)
- Added menu navigation sounds.
- Added setting change sounds.
(And yes, a dedicated menu to change individual sound volumes is coming soon)

Changes:

- Changed 'Low battery sound' option to 'Sound'. (Now controls global audio enabled/disabled)
- Changed 'Disable sound' option to 'Disable keyboard sound' to clarify this option's use.

Bug fixes:

- Fixed an issue that would cause small parts of windows to be found instead of the larger window. (Windows that are less than 5% of the screen resolution will be ignored, let me know if this causes issues!)
- Fixed an issue that would unmaximize windows when switching to them.
- Fixed being able to click custom app launch icons through settings menus.

(Small changelog this week, taking 2 weeks break, woooo!)
