OpenComposite OpenXR

A quick look at the code suggests the runtime you set in the configure dialog overrides what you've set in the main window, and then if you have an individual app configured, that will override whatever is in either. Just set them up how you want.
As for the Steam client itself - I set that to always use SteamVR. It'll more than likely fail trying to go through OC with any OpenVR calls it makes, which will more than likely be just config changes etc. Error code 6 I think is the usual result in that case.

 

AMAZING!! THANK YOU MICK!! MUCH OBLIGED MATE!!

What a great communitiny we have here!

CHEERS!

 

I decided to boot up AMS2 today after a few months of not playing and I just boot up to a black screen using HP Reverb G1v2. No issues on Rf2 or MSFS using open composite and Openxr Toolkit. Things I've tried that have made aero difference;

• I've run an integrity check
• I've disabled the OpenXR Toolkit
• I've replaced the OpenXR file by manually downloading it from GitHub (usually use the auto version of Open Composite).
• I've deleted the openvrsettings file in game save folder
• I've ran it in SteamVR (works fine) to then try open composite again

I've only found one reddit post on the net with someone who seems to have had the issue with the game suddenly showing a black screen when it was working fine before. Unfortunately that does not seem to have a solution.

Before I completely uninstall the game and my save files to start a fresh, anyone have any idea how I might be able to fix this without going down a rabbit hole?

 

Latest version of OC is buggy. You need to get hold of an older version of the DLLs.

Try this one.

Just download the openvr_api.dll files

If you want to change the switcher to use this, just rename the openvr_api.dll files to match the vr_client/vr_client_x64 files in the opencomposite/Runtime/bin folder

 

Thank you, worked like a charm!

 

Are you saying the 2 files should be the same thing as the openvr_api.dll, but just named diff?

 

Wherever you unzipped the switcher application

 

Here is my folder contents. I put a new api in my 2 games. Do I just drop it in this switcher folder too?

 

If you have put the DLL directly in the game folder, then you aren't using the switcher app, so why bother?
Regardless, you need to copy and rename the DLLs to replace the DLLs already in there; so Win32/openvr_api.dll becomes vrclient.dll and x64/openvr_api.dll becomes vrclient_x64.dll

 

Ok...got it now...thanks a million!

 

There was an update for the Switcher/the DLLs again:
Initialize compositor when receiving an overlay texture (again) (31815112) · Commits · Campbell Suter (ZNix) / OpenComposite · GitLab
Maybe this version fixes the problems from the previous version.

 

People who are using Quest/Pico headset with Virtual Desktop please go vote this feature request for VD.

Ability to modify FOV tangent | Feature Requests | Virtual Desktop

Basically it is the same feature which is available through Oculus Debug tool. It can be used to cut the FOV down and gain ALOT of GPU headroom to push more pixel density which makes the image more crisp. It is the only thing i am missing from Oculus software.

Since i have moved to VD cause of having performance issues with Oculus software. This feature would be awesome to have to boost performance/visual fidelity even further.

 

please help i tried this method and it didnt work, which dll files did you download

 

please help i tried this method and it didnt work, which dll files did you download

 

I am using the one at the bottom of the page.

Please describe exactly what you did, and hopefully it will become apparent what you have or haven't got right. At a high level you need to - 1. Download the DLL(s) 2. Rename the DLL(s) 3. Copy the renamed DLL(s) to the appropriate place.

 

I downloaded the file:
Platform: x64 x64/openvr_api.dll 1.84 MiB

I then renamed it openvr_api.dll

Go to the folder:
[DRIVE]:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Automobilista 2\x64

And drop it in there, overwriting the file that exists already.

 

ok ill try

 

Hello folks,

With the latest Oculus update I had the problem that Open Composite no longer worked with AMS 2.

 

OpenComposite is fine - the problem is that the Meta update has a bug that breaks OpenXR Toolkit. If you disable the toolkit, it should still work.

Comment from the OpenXR Toolkit Dev:
Reddit - Dive into anything

TLDR:Meta have acknowledged the bug and say it'll be fixed in the next update (v69)
