So does that mean it's done?

The code is mostly written, the patch isn't out yet.

I assume Shadowplay will show the same one eye window it does now when in VR mode and it will show the regular desktop video when you take the headset off.
I hope not. OBS will let you adjust the "Windowed" Vr mirror. It just records at such large file sizes,like 4 times as large as ShadowPlay. Its the window size that is problem. It is just not full screen. Yes, its one eye only,I get that. Would be nice if you could set that window at monitor dimension size. Shadow play will record desktop along with game video. So if VR window on desktop could be full screened it would record game film the same as it will now.

True, I saw that one. Just didnt drill down on how to do it. I know she said "If you dont have the config file, you could write it in"? Guess i was just dodging the whole, You must be ignorant impression? Yes , pride got in my way. If you dont mind,maybe give me a step by step instruction?

Step 1. Find Kanth's post.
Step 2. Follow Kanth's instructions.

If I had a link I would have posted it already.  :aok

Create a vrwinsize.cfg in the settings folder (open a new text document and save as "vrwinsize.cfg" be sure to use quotes)

Open config file and put this below if you have 27" screen, if not check your resolution...

0,top
0,left
1080,bottom
1920,right

I think I have the res wrong, but its a place to start, I'm using OBS Studio and playing around trying to figure it out.

The res might be the same as your desktop..... what ever you use for that. Thats where I would start.

To keep from looking stretched I found 1080x1080 works pretty well.

The window looks stretched at native resolution.

To keep from looking stretched I found 1080x1080 works pretty well.

I'm guessing it's because the Rift aspect ratio for one eye screen is different than a monitor. It's more like portrait mode.

That's probably it (one eye only), I bet to be accurate it should be 1920 / 2 = 960 so 1080x960, just tried and looks good, just have black bars on the side in video but better qual.

*edit that should read 960x1080

I tried subtracting 100 from the first two original file numbers and adding 100 to the last two.

This gave me:

57,top
867,left
1382,bottom
2314,right

That works well and you can change the number you add and subtract to suit your video size.

I think that's what Kanth did but I don't remember which thread she posted in.  :old:

Also you could use...
0,top
0,left
2160,bottom
1920,right

This gives full with by stretching the vertical *2

either way, I think we get the idea.

Thanks for the help, I was looking for this too just never asked the question.  :D
