fpsVR Beta - 2.0.8433
The fpsVR BETA has been updated with the following changes:
- An additional fallback GPU polling method has been added for AMD graphics cards - AMD ADLX. Several conditions are required for fpsVR to be able to use it:
- fpsVR failed for some reason (using Apple Boot Camp Software Graphics Drivers; using a laptop with mobile discrete graphics) to initialize the main method currently in use (AMD ADL). This can be seen if you do not see the GPU temperature.
- You have installed the AMD WHQL driver which includes the amdadlx64.dll library. Most likely, it will be included into all drivers released starting from 2023, the first such driver is AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.1.1 for Radeon RX 7900 Series.
If you don't want to wait for the driver mentioned above that includes this library for ADLX and you really need it, you can switch to "amd_adlx_test" branch, where this library is already included to fpsVR.
- fpsVR failed for some reason (using Apple Boot Camp Software Graphics Drivers; using a laptop with mobile discrete graphics) to initialize the main method currently in use (AMD ADL). This can be seen if you do not see the GPU temperature.
- Fixed SteamVR version check, now as originally intended, fpsVR will not run with unsupported older versions of SteamVR giving a warning about switching to a branch with an older version of fpsVR.
- In the "Advanced->Interpupillary distance" setting, the calculation of the final IPD was removed, as it worked differently for different VR headsets, for some correct and for some not (the reason for this is a strange behavior of one OpenVR API function).
- In settings on the "fpsVR" tab, the option to enable sending error reports now also enables sending beta reports. Previously a request to enable it was displayed only on the "beta" branch when you opened the settings. Error reports contain the same information as beta reports plus some information about the error. The beta report contains some values of key internal application variables and information about the application version, steam version, net framework version, CPU and GPU information. If you want to help fixing bugs please enable this option. Important note - starting from this version beta-reports will be sent not only on the beta branch but also on any other branch, once per each update. If you do not agree - you can disable this option on the "fpsVR" tab (It is turned off by default).
