    Just created a quick vid of it working for me. Don't know why as I said.

    I don’t have the spotter mod - will try the retrolux method out of curiosity

    So updated the problem ticket again in github. Mod is loading and working (now using AIS Loader), but it seems the settings aren't being applied? For example, if you guys change the radius or fixedFoveated setttings i the YMAL file, are you seeing changes in your HMD? I tried a bunch of different changes with extreme differences and i dont see any difference in the HMD.... Also when I revert back to the old mod version (openVR DLL) my image seems sharper... Also hotkeys are broken...

    *** UPDATE *** - embarrasingly, the dev has confirmed there's no upscaling going on, so I'm just seeing a placebo! Doh!

    Hey John, just read your reply - thanks for helping out!

    A few observations from my testing earlier.

    - I do believe it is upscaling (but my eyes could be deceiving me as I run at 0.8, so 80% qualtiy) with steam SS at 100% (Reverb G2)
    - Life you, hotkeys don't work for me.
    - Debug mode when set to true does not show the circle in the HMD where the full quality upscaling is applied. His previous FSR did do this hence me knowing that 0.3 is fine on the G2, which has a poor sweet spot. .
    - I was able to notice the difference when changing the sharpening value in the config file. I used NIS (not FSR) and dialled it down from 0.7 to 0.2, which I assume is 20%, in line with a setting I use in a similar NIS upscaling mod for FS2020 - anything above this looks too artifacty! I also dialled back the DX11settings.xml sharpening from 1.8 to 1.2 too.
    - So my final settings for my G2 in the Vrperf.cfg are renderscale 0.8, sharpening 0.2, radius 0.3 and foveated rendering on.

    Attached is the log and my settings for ref. (I had to add the .txt extension to upload here)

    I'll also post this over as github too.

    Cheers
    Rob

    Are you sure?

    This was the response from the dev on my log and comments around keys/debug note not working

    "I'm afraid the log is pretty clear - there's no upscale happening at all. The mod is never seeing a submit call from SteamVR and hence isn't doing any post-processing. That's also why you are not seeing the debug circle and why the hotkeys aren't working. Whatever difference you think you are seeing between different sharpening values is a placebo.

    I don't know why it isn't seeing the submit, but at the moment the mod isn't doing anything. At best, it might be reducing render resolution, I can't be sure of that.

    For reference, this line must be present in the log to indicate that the mod is actually working:

    21:53:19 [10172] Game is submitting D3D11 textures, creating necessary output resources..."

    Do you have that in your log file @Javier Pro ?

    Don´t have that line Rob, but there is a performance increase with the mod
    "it might be reducing render resolution"

    @javier_pro Yea that's what we're all experiencing at this point. The mod loads but the settings we're customizing is not being applied. So in summary it's not really working as designed and you're better off using the original mod from this post or going back to vanilla

    The new implementation with Oculus support is working nicely for me on AMS2 and ACC. Massively increased the available overhead, and with the Quest 2 lenses you can reduce the radius to around 0.5 without any additional loss of clarity.

    Good to hear @jonathon

    perhaps it’s the steamVR/WMR pipeline that’s the issue then rather than AMS2.

    Based on lack of replies and him stating he does not own the titles, its unlikely but i'm still hopeful. I think he tried what he could for now without digging into it more.

    I wish i knew more but I'm really interested what the change was on this original mod/DLL file as it could be a related fix for the new mod. I tried looking into apps to break down the DLL files but i was unsuccessful sadly

    I guess the guy that modded the mod 1st time around was @NuScorpii - not sure if he can be the saviour again? *crosses fingers, toes and everything else*....

    I just want to clarify please, right now there isn't a version of fholger mod that works in AMS2 running on SteamVR? Thanks, and posted this in the general VR thread before remembering this one, sorry not spamming lol.

    The one in the first post was the original FSR mod of fholger that @NuScorpii changed to work with AMS2 - the link is still there I believe and yep, this does work with steamVR.

    Personally with the G2 and running it at 0.8 upscaling and 0.3 radius I didn’t see much benefit over reducing steam ss% to 80% (in fact the latter was sharper) so don’t use it now.

    The new mod has nvidia NIS as an upscaling option (in addition to AMD FSR) which I find better in other games (MSFS2020 using the NISUpscaler mod) - sharper with far less artefacts and seems to remove some frame stutters. It also has foveated rendering which I don’t know for sure, but looks to be a more advanced version of radius-driven upscaling methods that allows for more bang for buck (fps)

    How are you using the new one with MSFS as that's on OpenXR?
