The fpsVR has been updated with the following changes:

Note: the desktop overlay resizing function does not work in the SteamVR beta, and will be removed in the future due to restrictions added in new versions of SteamVR.

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.

  • The option “Start with SteamVR” is now also available in the tray menu, which is accessible by right-clicking on the tray icon.

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
