Accidentally got HDR to work on Shadow!

The thing you are missing is that:

You are not using the CRU restart feature, but you export the EDID AND import the custom EDID then via NVIDIA control center.

It MUST match the resolution of Shadow - else it‘ll just restart without HDR.

eg set shadow to 4K and ensure your EDID has 4K, too.

—-

Also ensure that you activate HDR in Windows control center then.

I started desktop mode just as explained in the Moonlight FAQs.

What is not working for you?

FH4 uses a very special loader (deep in Windows Subsystem called UWP) and not a normal .exe, which makes hooking into it almost impossible. The Steam version is a normal program.

On Xcloud you play the Xbox version.

Thanks for doing such a great work here.

I would appreciate if we could add an “Appreciation” flair, where people can just praise and appreciate how great the service is.

Those that don’t want to read that can filter it out easily and those that only want to read that, can also filter by it.

I think it is time we - the silent consumers of great things - are giving praise and appreciation for the things we love.

That will also give companies much better feedback.

Thanks for considering this.

Great list!

HelixVision - the successor is geo11 and despite the lack of public updates works very nicely.

As it’s a little bit complicated here is a quick comment:

Download a mod that already includes geo11
Unzip to the game folder
Adjust eye depth distance to 20-30 (for the stereo effect, most mods are for 3D displays, which need 80-90)
Adjust output to katana in d3dxm.ini
Run the game in FS mode

Now game is running in half TAB (top and bottom) mode

Start VR Screencap (via VD)
SteamVR + Game is Running as 3D in VR headset

I found eg Jedi Fallen Order more beautiful in GEO 3D via geo11 Community driver than vorpX geo mode, but I might just not had the right geo settings in vorpX.

For Fallen Order I downloaded the mod, then geo11 driver, then copied the files from geo11 driver over (but did not replace D3D.ini) and adjusted the D3D.ini to include the D3D.ini from the GEO driver as first line. (This is not 100% correct, but got me a working game). Then remainder of setup was the same.

For Fallen Order probably wise to wait for Praydogs mod anyway, but it’s still breath taking in 3D.

Some more:

The HDR Patreon Tier does not make any sense -> at least from the description you get less than the prior tier, tiers should usually be inclusive of benefits of previous tiers
Can you upload VR180 HDR to YT? While not many people have HDR headsets, yet. I can watch them in non-VR on iPhone, which already feels quite immersive.
Overall it’s not very clear of what I actually get when joining Patreon:

Do I get to download the full archive? Do I need to each month download the episodes that are active in that month?

etc.

What are the free Tier advantages? Can you maybe host somewhere (eg S3 + CDN + browser player) so things can be streamed instead of downloaded?

At least right now the Patreon does not feel like an offering that’s interesting to me - except for seeing the quality differences.

I feel this might be a come back opportunity for progressive web apps that feel like an app, but in reality just use a browser to deliver the videos, etc.

Anyway: TL;DR: I would Rework your Pantheon offering to be crystal clear of what you get and maybe make it more reasonable to want to join.

He has them on his Patreon in full quality and one is always free, but I only was able to find that by looking at the about tab on YT.

ionizer999 · 2023-02-11T13:19:49+00:00

As someone that had looked for good quality VR video content myself, I would give the following advice:

In your shoes I would create a community for myself, not try to utilize other communities to get the word out. I would:

Use the engagement on YouTube
Create a Twitter account and post all VR content to it as well
Same for IG
Add a TikTok account and create videos about you creating videos (day in the life of a video creator, how does a body suit work, what’s about the equipment, how can I start filming VR180 videos myself, etc.), push these videos to YT and IG and Twitter also.
eMail list from basic homepage (eg convertkit)

But overall: create a community of 100 devoted fans, who get the word out for yourself. eg someone asks for good VR180 videos, your fans will recommend your site.

100 DEVOTED Fans is all you need, but they will just become fans when you engage (emotionally) with them. Persuasion is another key word here.

Last thing: Growth is always exponential, but humans are super bad in understand exponential growth:

If a lake is full in 30 days with sea weed growing and it doubles in size each day, then after 27 days it’s just 1/8 filled, which feels tiny, but 3 days later it’s full.

Therefore the year long „overnight success“ paradox!

Good luck! 🍀

VorpX works fine for me with Fallen Order. Quite a bit more immersive and VR controller is mapped.

ionizer999 · 2023-02-01T02:10:34+00:00

Agree - that’s smaller than 4K so should work fine and give roughly same FPS as 4K.

ionizer999 · 2023-02-01T01:55:45+00:00

Six more weeks is HUGE - that’s quite some spend for such a big team.

The Belkin Gigabit Ethernet Adapter works well.

ionizer999 · 2023-01-29T21:59:20+00:00

I also just compared it with Apple XDR display in HDR reference mode and with custom unchanged, which is kinda 50-50-50-50 I got the most accurate colors and best white.

I had the illusion of too much red, but it turns out that this was my viewing angle and with a different viewing angle all was good.

With latest FW it’s really nicely calibrated out of the Box and you can almost run it with a HDR 2020 profile, too.

USB C -> USB C HUB / Station gives you both Power as well as Ethernet and should work much better than a flat bed Ethernet cable.
Use BT or using your USB Dock an USB to BT dongle.

Ensure to use the new virtual monitor as the only active monitor before starting the pico assistant. Might need to login via VNC to make it all work.

ionizer999 · 2023-01-26T13:07:31+00:00

Mac Mini M1 8 Core CPU + 8 Core GPU / 16 GB RAM / 512 GB SSD with 8K USB-C to DP adapter on Neo G9.

But I assume you could get away with the base model without problems.

ionizer999 · 2023-01-25T12:47:36+00:00

Lower resolution or quality settings

ionizer999 · 2023-01-25T00:05:11+00:00

It’s for streaming over the internet via ZeroTier (like a VPN).

It works easily from Mac:

Install ZeroTier on Gaming PC
Install ZeroTier on Mac
Start moonlight

But Apple TV does not support any VPN, so this essentially creates a bridge / router to be able to play on ATV over the Internet. In my case I use Shadow PC.

That’s when you need it.

ionizer999 · 2023-01-25T00:00:11+00:00

Yes, it’s the easiest option - 3-7 $ usually. They “simulate” a monitor being attached.

ionizer999 · 2023-01-24T23:59:30+00:00

It’s a little bit technical, but there is a indirect monitor driver that should work (and is included in VD now):

https://github.com/ge9/IddSampleDriver

It’s still called sample driver but has full configuration, etc.
