made my first mod. Added a foam extender to faceplate ring in order to push it farther away. Manually playing with HMD positioning lead to this. pushed it away about 1/4 - 3/8"
Discovered some things.
Plug in an HDMI display into port where the RIFT will be plugged. Go to Nvidia control panel set brilliance and HUE to desired levels. In my case 59 and 7. Gets some color added without god rays. This is a dance till you discover your needs.
Occulus tray tool at SS 1.3 with ASW auto. Do this in aces high profile and overall settings. You can use the performance hud and see what damage the SS is doing to framerates and performance % overhead, frames lost. This important, if SS to high for pc rig you will start dropping frames, very bad. The asw is inactive till frame rate losses, then activates during issues, debatable if helpful.
After entering game, turn off all other displays, only RIFT. Just be sure that you expand the window of game on display all way. Otherwise the mouse might wonder out of window and become non responsive. Also minimize tool app and occ home cuz the mouse would become unresponsive if activated and......
Now setting the video settings thru the rift is important. If you call up the game and say no to occulus, the changes you make thru mouse and display are not the same video settings as whats called up if you say yes to occulus. For video settings thru occulus you click on video settings with HMD, then remove HMD and see the video settings pop up, select texture, font, size and save.
I use 512 texture, saves on pc HP and with SDE many details are wasted anyways.
I was able to minimize the SDE to a point but distances are still tuff, in close is great, the 3D experience is great but it still tires my eyes quickly.
To moi these are what to tweak and adjust. Once you like at this level you can add AA for close in eye candy. SDE is just minimized and marginalized as much as I can. NOT Rectofied tho!
PS: Its still a whole new game, I mean totally different. Closing 1 eye, leaning forward for better sight clarity. Everything is completely different.
