OVR Toolkit News

Changelog for 08-12-2019

08-12-2019
- Added OVR Toolkit Settings application. (This should not show as 'Not Responding' all the time!)
- OVR Toolkit's main application now launches with no UI but starts the settings app on launch.
- Added 'Kiosk Mode' option to config.json. This will block opening/closing Edit Mode for use in VR arcades.
- Added 'Headless Mode' option to config.json. This will stop OVR Toolkit automatically opening the Settings UI, closing SteamVR should close the program instead, or it can be done through Task Manager.
- Fixed an issue with the settings.json file resetting to default on startup.

Changelog for 02-12-2019 (R2)

02-12-2019 (R2)
- Fixed a CPU usage issue when using Vive Wands.
- Fixed being able to click 'Select window' and 'Spawn window' whilst editing hotkeys.
- Lowered time limit for opening/closing edit mode. (Should be harder to accidentally toggle now)

Needed to push this hotfix today, sorry for the CPU usage issues. :p

Changelog for 02-12-2019

02-12-2019
- Added French translations.
- Windows should no longer capture when not visible. (Should reduce CPU load, sorry I didn't see this sooner!)
- Overlay opacity now increases in 5% increments instead of 10%.
- Fixed an issue with Vive Wand users having OVR Toolkit force standing play mode in seated play games.

Changelog for 30-11-2019

30-11-2019
- Fixed keyboard Edit Mode bind not being settable in some situations.
- Changed default keyboard Edit Mode bind to F8 from L. (Why was it 'L' anyway? Was I crazy? :thinking:)
- Disabled periodic config file saving. (Now saves when values are changed. If something doesn't save, let me know!)
- Attempted to fix issues with Vive Wands sometimes swapping left and right hands.
- Reduced chances of UI attaching to a Vive Tracker when using Vive Wands.
- Added GPU usage to system info panel. (Only available for NVIDIA GPUs, sorry!)
- 'Performance Mode' has been renamed to 'Eco Mode' to better reflect what it does. (Though it does increase performance in games as the original name suggested!)

So this update was supposed to include Spotify integration! And I waited... And waited... But Spotify still hasn't approved the commercial license for it yet, so I can't release it yet!

Instead, it's there! It's in this build! But there's no button to access it, sorry. ;)

- Fixed windows being stuck in the floor when loading into seated play games.
- Fixed an issue with OVR Toolkit not working correctly on systems with some missing registry entries.
