VR-Tek 2560x1440 Virtual Reality Headset w/ $20 Steam Gift Card Expired

Most VR apps are useless without a controller(not game controller). What are people using?

Some small tweaks I noticed while messing with mine. Opted in the SteamVR Beta.

You might find head movement looks better with "enable advanced super sampling filter" disabled in the Developer settings in SteamVR.

I also disabled VR Home in general. Fixed an annoying blue line issue that Alien Isolation had.

Once I got my Headset adjusted properly to the sweet spot I played some Alien Isolation with the MotherVR mod and it was awesome (disable motion blur and depth of field).

Can also look at https://github.com/sencercoltu/steamvr-undistort for reducing the distortion if needed.

Remember setting controls for VR games is separate from Steam's Big Picture Controller stuff for native VR games. Click the SteamVR menu and goto devices and Configure Controller.

Also remember to turn the Controller on first and then load SteamVR. You should see a green controller icon. If not reload SteamVR.

Another cool thing to check out is Revive: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive

When i was playing alien isolation, it was like i was playing in a virtual theater, instead of VR (like skyrim VR). what the heck do i need to change to actually play in VR?

What method did you use?

SuperDepth3D + Big Screen?

I just used MotherVR: https://github.com/Nibre/MotherVR

Load SteamVR then the game.

What I suggest.

I wonder if the Nvidia Pixel Clock Patcher would fix the 60hz issue.... https://www.monitortests.com/foru...ck-Patcher [monitortests.com]

Also one for AMD: https://www.monitortests.com/foru...ck-Patcher [monitortests.com]

Usually useful for those OCing higher resolutions and refresh rates from there displays. Doesn't hurt anything to install as it just removes the 165 MHz pixel clock limit for single-link DVI and HDMI.

Headset shows up in steamvr settings -> Video as "Headset: V1.0"

This was a good thought, but it is not a fix.

intel UHD 630 + gtx 1070 maxQ (optimus)
Windows 10 1803
WVR3 runs off HDMI 2.0 port of gtx 1070.
Holoview assistant says holoview & firmware is up to date (holoview v 1.8.0.0)

Driver pixel clock is patched. Still 60hz

I use some older nvidia display drivers but I doubt that makes the difference.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm curious what software versions people are running.

The holoview setup file from the direct-tek website (mega link) is version 1.7.8.1.
If you install it and then update holoview from the holoview-assist (updater) task tray menu, you get version 1.8.0.0.

According to holoview-assist, that is the latest version. There are no more updates.
This has been my experience at least, only 1 holoview update is offered - not the 2 or 3 that some other posters have claimed. This is the case even if I wipe steam VR and holoview/-assist with revo uninstaller and try again. (There was a firmware update I did thru holoview-assist, but that's a 1 time thing)

Still 60hz.

If anyone is running a different version of the software below and is having 80Hz show up in steamvr that would be good to know.
Holoview version: 1.8.0.0
SteamDriver version 0.4.0.1
Headset shows up in steamvr settings -> Video as "Headset: V1.0"

You can find the current software versions by going into
...\AppData\Roaming\HoloUpdater\temp
whatever holoview-assistant downloaded last is in here, then check the version.txt or right click .exe and go to properties.

-----------------------
Also, does anyone have any idea how to adjust the distortion correction settings for this headset? The file seems to be default.vrsettings in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\drivers\vrtek\resources\settings (even though the readme in the SteamDriver install folder says it should be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamDriverForVrm\SteamDriver\vrm\resources\settings\default.vrsettings ).

I tried messing with the values in the file and nothing happens.
