Oculus Rift 1.13 Release Notes

Tracking seems perfect now. There is not even a blink when turning 360. Just completely smooth. No hand off noticed at all

Thank you Oculus!

Just sucks that we cant use supersampling with this update, it looks horrible without it.

Well, you could if the games exposed it in their settings like they should. We've known about pixel density since before the CV1 came out..

Included in this release is the compositor mirror, an experimental tool for viewing exactly what appears in the headset (with Asynchronous TimeWarp and distortion applied). The compositor mirror is useful for development and troubleshooting without having to wear the headset. The compositor mirror is not recommended during normal usage as it can affect performance.

I've now finally received the update. How do we activate the compositor mirror? I see no new options anywhere.

I'd guess that the compositor mirror sounds like something that would come with the sdk, like the debug tool did. It's not recommended for general use (performance reasons) and sounds like something developers would find handy.

Me 2. This started with 1.12 and continues with 1.13. It's a small up down jitter every once and a while. I sent my Oculus logs to Cyber to see if he can pin point the issue. But I think it's a software bug that needs to be squashed in the next release of updates.

Are you definitely on 1.13? If so have you opted in to the beta? Just wondering if they have a update to fix the SDK issue.

I was on 1.13 for about 30 minutes last friday, then it reverted to 1.12

really?

Yep, this happened on at least two of our development machines at 11am EST on friday.
Worked out for the best because 1.13 crippled our software rite before an important demo (another reason devs everyone should be able to chose their version during a rollout period)

Yeah, every game should have it in the graphics settings, as it is now we have to use the oculus debug tool which isnt working with the latest update, is their a way to revert back to 1.12 update?

I have 980ti, i7-6700k and most games running between 1.3-2.0 supersampling. Now, most games are blurred... I want 1.12 back or Oculus Debug Tool working with 1.13!

Exactly! the oculus is unplayable without supersampling.

Just bought Narcosis. Waiting for the 1.13 Oculus SDK before I play it.

Keep refreshing

Steam VR? That would likely not use the Oculus SDK anyway right?

hoochyuk · March 28

I don't know but the ss on tray tool works on it as you can tell when ss not on with onward as looks awful

hoochyuk · March 28

Pretty sure it does use oculus sdk

dburne · March 28

Strange... maybe they are slowly rolling out the new SDK lol.

dreimer1986 · March 28

Hm, 1.13.0.362051 here now, buuut no Beta channel, only the good ol' reboot selection...

hoochyuk · March 28

I did get the 1.13 update yesterday and woke up to another update this morning before I tested it so maybe I don't know

hoochyuk · March 28

@dreimer you need to restart oculus beta in settings

dreimer1986 · March 28

where ever you like mate, it's the SDK, the debug tool is most likely the only thing you will use.

moist people don't use them but instead use the tray tool @ApollyonVR made that integrates the features of the debug tool
