AH maximized on screen when using Oculus
« on: October 29, 2019, 05:20:28 PM »
I have found that when I put my Oculus headset on, AH will only play in a small window on my screen. I need to have it maximized for crowd viewing.
I have windows 10, Oculus Rift, and a Samsung TV using HDMI.
Any ideas?

It's a setting in AH VR preferences. Uncheck Disable Auto VR Mode Swap.

I was messing with that just the other day trying to get OBS to display right with my Rift S. I found you can just resize the AH window and make it fit in OBS. It's kind of an exercise tho and you'd have to do it every time you restarted AH if you wanted to stream. You can set Oculus mirror how you like it by setting up the shortcut with various commands and stream that. Much easier to deal with once you get it as you like. But you have both mirrors up on the monitor at the same time.

I'll have to play with more later. I think it works ok for my purpose but I still need to tweak the resolution or something to get it looking better on the screen.

You could try the oculus mirror. I've played around with it a bit, but can only get it to look so good.

I hate the paint job actually but my job was computers only.

I use OBS as well.. when you set the OBS  to AH make sure you specify "Full Screen Applications" in OBS options. Also, make sure that the screen resolutions (ie 1366/720p or whatever your tv monitor is) match across the board, meaning in AH main menu "video settings" and in OBS video settings they all match.
