Black box around vision

[hazy marlin]

I just got a bigscreen beyond 2e, and when opening the game a block box appears around my vision. It has something to do with foveated rendering because when eye tracking is turned on they follow my eyes.

See if there is an option in their app to disable dfr (dynamic foveated rendering) or everything about eye tracking

[hazy marlin]

It still shows up, it’s just stationary in the center of the screen then

[gray eagle]

what if you disable foveation ingame?

[hazy marlin]

No, does nothing

[gray eagle]

cool

you're not using openxr toolkit right?

I'm using a play for dream with steamlink dynamic foveated encoding. In 0.14 I could slightly see a foveated box moving with eyetracking in very dark areas. I haven't been able to see it in the beta. However, i did see that in the sunken apartments in the outskirts, it's the only place I've seen it

[hazy marlin]

No

[gray eagle]

Does steamVR give you some options about foveated stuff?

[hazy marlin]

I don’t think so

[gray eagle]

It should since now it supports foveated encoding

As randel said too

Steam does, you need to open the steamVR settings from the desktop steamVR status window. In there go to openXR api layers and disable quadviews

This looks like when I have quadviews DFR enabled in this game. It is bugged and probably enabled on the game devs side by accident.

Is this just for bsb2e? I don't seem to have that option

It would be great to get quad views

[opal birch]

Are you on the beta branch of steam vr? With pfd you need to be, for dfe to work. Please let me know if you find options for dfr

[hazy marlin]

I was not. I will try it

[hazy marlin]

You were right, disabling quad views fixed it 👍
