fpsVR - 1.18

The fpsVR has been updated with the following changes:
  • Added new tab on main settings page - "fpsVR.net"
    This feature is under development. By enabling the option there(disabled by default) you will help me (developer) to bring more stats to you, the fpsVR users and to all VR enthusiast, which will allow you to compare performance in VR games and apps with different resolution settings, different GPUs, CPUs, GPU drivers, and VR headsets.
    A little more detailed description inside the page in the settings. If you have any questions ask them in the comments below.
  • "Advanced" settings tab: Added option to show "HOTSPOT" temperature (Junction Temp.) for modern AMD GPU instead of "EDGE" temperature.
  • History Viewer: Added display of activity (time when standby mode was not active) of the headset during a gaming session, in percent.
  • Optimization and minor fixes.

fpsVR - 1.17.2

The fpsVR has been updated with the following changes:
  • Fixed: the screen brightness value was not applied (the setting only works for Index) when manually switching from Application profile to the Global profile while the VR game/application was running.

fpsVR - 1.17

The fpsVR has been updated with the following changes:
  • Added temperature monitoring for AMD Zen 3 processors (If after this update the CPU temperature readings did not appear, reinstall fpsVR or just verify integrity of app files)
  • Added the ability to change the brightness (only if there is support in SteamVR for the used headset, so far only for the Valve Index)
  • Added the ability to apply color and brightness profiles. You can choose which profile will be used while the VR game/application is running - either a global one, or a profile configured by you specifically for this VR game/application. See the Advanced tab in the settings. (for Vive/VivePro/Index)
  • fpsVR adds a "+" symbol to the battery charge to indicate that controllers / trackers are charging.
  • Added "Show Low Battery Warnings for Controllers and Trackers" option on the tab "Advanced". (Warning message if battery charge is less 25%, red border of the overlay if battery charge is less 15%)
  • fpsVR history viewer: Added display of battery status for controllers, trackers. You can use this to find out how much battery power was in your last sessions so as not to launch SteamVR and not turn on the controllers (this will only work for new VR sessions)
  • fpsVR history viewer: Added reprojection and frame drop ratios to VR session stat.
  • "Show Vive Wireless Adapter Temperature" moved to "Advanced" tab in the settings
  • The polling rate has been increased for the cable tangle tracking feature.
  • Fixed a bug in the feature of re-centering the play area ("Recenter" button)
  • Fixed a rare bug where temperatures are not displayed for supported processors under certain conditions.
  • Added the fix_perf_counters.exe file (to the root folder of the app) that can be used to restore the operating system performance counters (to restore the CPU usage counters if it is faulty).


Steam may ask you for elevated rights to complete the installation of this update, when you launch fpsVR first time after this update (In order to update the processor temperature polling service)

(Fixed) Issues with SteamVR beta 1.15.1

I just want to let you know that in fpsVR some functions (resolution detection button, screenshot functions) may not work correctly if you are using SteamVR beta 1.15.1
I expect it to be fixed in the next SteamVR Beta update. I notified Valve about the bug I found.

Update: Fixed in SteamVR beta 1.15.2
