HP G2, cannot read message window in VR
« on: May 05, 2021, 07:35:35 PM »
Have been slowly figuring out how to use my HP G2 for Aces High (with tips on this forum helping), but have been stumped on one thing, and that is the message window and HUD show up fine if I'm not in VR, but when I put on the headset they disappear....just cannot find the rascals.  I can locate them in VR and move them around in the GUI settings, but cannot get them to show with my headset on.  Frame rate  etc info and damage reports show fine.     Thanks in advance for tips & help!

I can easily do without the HUD, but like being able to read the text messages.     :cheers:

On my G2 the message windows default to almost invisible thin lines located on the ceiling to the left.  I have to drag them down and expand them with the VR headset on.  Once that is done they will stay where you put them until the next AH update.  A little annoying, but once you do it a few times it is not a big deal.

Since I  split the message windows into 2 boxes to separate kill spam, the text boxes no longer shrink to the line above your head

Yeah, so far am unimpressed with WMR....but really don't like being forced to log in with my little-used Facebook account either.  Visuals & sound are very much better in the G2 as compared to my Rift CV-1.

Noticed an interesting change in GPU vs CPU usage between my CV-1 v the G2.  When I run MSI Afterburner it seems like the Rift tended to max out CPU1 on my I7-9700 K, and the my RTX 2080 Super GPU would only be running about 60 % or so.  With the G2 it looks like the GPU is running close to max, and the CPU not working nearly as much as with the Rift.     :cheers:

Thank you edge!  That was the tip I needed.  I had been looking around for that thing, but once I knew where to look that made the difference.  Seems I had to look there for a bit before it would show up so a quick glance would not show it.  Also found my HUD, way out to the left.     :airplane:
