fpsVR News

The fpsVR has been updated with the following changes:

• Bugfix for Restart feature
  

Known issue: desktop utilities do not appear under desktop overlay with SteamVR beta 1.8.4+ . New SteamVR versions restrict possibility to get position of the desktop overlay.

The fpsVR has been updated with the following changes:

• Updated User Interface:
  
  
  
  • Updated interface of the fpsVR settings overlay (available in the SteamVR dashboard)
    
  • Some interface elements are now presented as lists, rather than as switches (through cycling).
    
  • The old main desktop window - removed.
    
  • A new main desktop window which displays only stats on the desktop (can be closed, to restore it - double click on icon in the windows tray) and new settings window (which displays settings same as in the dashboard fpsVR overlay)
    
  • The option “Start with SteamVR” is now also available in the tray menu, which is accessible by right-clicking on the tray icon.
    
  • and many other changes....
    
• New tab "Advanced":
  
  
  
  • New feature "Refresh Rate for Valve Index"
    
  • New feature "Color Gain" (Vive/VivePro/Index)
    
  • New feature to toggle async reprojection mode (disable/enable reprojections) (Vive/VivePro/Index)
    
• New tab "Restart" with new feature "Restart SteamVR"
  
• Supersampling settings revamp (you can now switch the global mode)
  
• Motion smoothing settings revamp (you can now change the global motion smoothing setting) (Vive/VivePro/Index)
  
• Bugfixes for FloorFix feature (last update broke something...)
  
• Added sound for Timer and Alarm
  
• Added sound meter for mic. The app will show the sound level in the upper right corner (of the main in-game overlay) near the microphone icon (But only if microphone is used by game or any other app).
  
• Added new overlay under the Desktop Overlay. Which displays desktop utilities. (Can be disabled, see option on the tab "fpsVR" in settings)
  
• Added option to disable usage of the red color for fps counters, see tab "fpsVR" (red color upsets some people :D)
  
• Added fpsVR launch option "-noinapp" to disable the "In-App" status for fpsVR. For more info read: Q&A
• Added feature to control fpsVR via command line. For more info read: Q&A
  
  

• 1.6.2 to 1.6.3 update brings changes that should prevent issues that happen when switching between the public branch and this branch.
  

SteamVR beta 1.8.2 broke overlays. Please revert back to the none-beta/stable version of SteamVR 1.7.15 until Valve fix it.

Update: Fixed in SteamVR Beta 1.8.3

SteamVR beta 1.7.11/1.7.10 returns invalid frames data. Please do not use fpsVR with SteamVR beta until this issue is resolved. Switch to the SteamVR public branch to avoid this issue.

Update: Fixed in SteamVR Beta 1.7.12

The fpsVR has been updated with the following changes:

An improvement has been added(a change in the manifest.vrmanifest file and an addition of the fpsvr_launcher.exe file) for the workaround of the old SteamVR bug (expected to be fixed in SteamVR 1.7.XX), this improvement should fix rare issues like this: link (which occur because the previous workaround implementation causes another rare SteamVR bug). It is expected that these workarounds will be removed when the SteamVR public branch is updated to version 1.7.XX (currently in beta).
This update does not change the version of the application.
