New Features

• track_gpu tracks GPU work and adds two new metrics to the CSV:
  msUntilRenderStart: the time between the Present() call and when the GPU work for this frame started, and
  msGPUActive: the total duration the GPU was working on this frame.
• track_gpu_video when used, tracks video work separately from other GPU work.
• track_input tracks user input and adds the msSinceInput metric to the CSV which is the time between the Present() call and the earliest keyboard or mouse interaction that contributed to this frame.
• date_time outputs the Present() time as a date and time.

Breaking API Changes:

PresentEvent::QpcTime and TimeTaken have been renamed to PresentStartTime and PresentStopTime, see GameTechDev/PresentMon@094fcbc for more details.

Hello, I installed the update and for the first run it was fine. After a restart I get this message and can not start the app any longer

An error occurred trying to read settings:
Could not read player.JSON file! Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 837 column 3 (char 50226)
Could not read player.JSON file! Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 837 column 3 (char 50226)
Could not read rFactor2 settings for AdvancedGraphicSettings

I haven't changed the UAC or anything?

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for this brilliant tool!

I noticed it supports both fsr/ffr mods by fholger, but they cannot be used in conjunction due to the way they are installed (both override the openvr_api.dll).

Sometime later fholger parked those projects and created the vrperfkit mod, which combines both functionalities and has been working really well for me in rFactor2.

I noticed the widget source code mentions the vrperfkit, but there is no option in the UI. Is it possible to support it?
https://github.com/tappi287/rf2_video_settings/blob/master/open_vr_mod/mod/vrperfkit_mod.py

If so, I wonder if it will conflict with reshade/VRToolKit, as both are based on dxgi.dll injection. If there is a way to use both, I have high expectations that it will provide the best performance and visual quality results.

Cheers, and keep up the good work!

Receiving the error message attached starting the app.

I have managed to get passed it by restoring a previous copy of my player.json, but it seems to happen every now and again, maybe when something is changed in game?

Hi - loving the widget, been using it for several months with Oculus Quest 2.

Recent rF2 upgrade however means that the widget seems to refuse to launch in VR mode, like it used to everytime before. I use OpenXR and have replaced the openvr_api.dll in Bin64 but that doesn't fix it. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello,
I have a problem with this application. When I start it, sht stays in the task manager but no windows open. It's the same problem with all version. I have been looking for some time but no results.
Does anyone have any idea about this problem?
Thanks you in advance.

After updating to 1.2.0 im still being told to download and install the new version, 1.2.0

start button not going to vr.

See TonyWhitley/rF2headlights#3 and the change TonyWhitley/rF2headlights@8b76ac4

As title, does this use OpenVR or something similar which would mess up something like OpenXR toolkit with OpenComposite?

If you've not used these I highly recommend:

Great tool, thanks for the Open_FSR implementation...
but there's no information where to invite you a drink as a thanks for your work and time.
Pleas add it to the project description, or a link where to find it.

Nice tool!
But i can´t use it for the league races. In our league we have a url link (steam://rungameid....) with the server datas.
I can´t join the game over the tool and i have terrible fps with my vr.

grainspread.fx failed to compile in reshade console and as a result reshade preset does not work

Hi there
Just wondering if it would be possible to have some additional launch options available.
I use crew chief and sumhub, it would be great if there was an option to add launch buttons for external programs like that. Not sure its possible, but thought I would ask.
Andy

When i hover over my presets on the dashboard, they all have the same message tooltip like the attached
Many thanks
Andy

Hello. Although launching into VR works nicely, it isn't working for benchmarks. I've even set the +VR flag in Steam myself, but it still starts in pancake mode if I hit the Start Benchmark Queue button.

Thanks for updating your invaluable widget for the new release and for doing it so quickly. Your efforts are much appreciated.

Hi Stefan
Maybe you are waiting for each RC to go into full release before including everything, but you may know there is also an option for Screen Space Reflection (SSR) level within gfx config.

Be nice if you could build that into the settings available.

No major thing for the moment though ;-)

Hi Tappi

Just a quick note, it looks like due to the change in the latest RC of RF2, the video settings option has change to MSAA rather than whatever it was before, and this doesnt get saved in each different profile you make.

Also, the environment reflection doesnt seem to change in game if you change it in a profile, not sure if that was the case before todays rf2 update as I never really noticed it.

Cheers

There's a tool to improve even better the VR performance in rFactor2 (or almost any OpenVR game), Open Fsr (https://github.com/fholger/openvr_fsr)
Given that's a dll and a config file if can be easily integrated to this wonderful tool, and improve the performance in VR even further.
