[EL 1.0488] Problem with Vive and new 1080 *FIXED*
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2017 5:10 pm
Last week I was able to successfully run EL with an ATI MSI r9 290x video card. Everything worked well but I decided to upgrade my card. I now have a Nvidia MSI GTX 1080.
I am able to use my vive with the new card in all other games that I previously could use my old card except EL.
When I go into the game in VR, I can choose a profile and load the player get to setting etc. however when I try to launch, the first of the loading this or that text items show on the middle console then the steam loading window comes up and the game crashes. The music continues to play for awhile but the various clicks etc stop.
While trying to get this to work, I tried several things including deleting all pilots uninstalling and reinstalling. Even with a re-install to a different folder it seem that EL will keep the last used video settings. At various points I couldn't even get to the load pilot screen. A command line option or some way to force the default video mode would be beneficial.
My old vrsetup.txt crashes the game entirely. Without the txt file I get to the pilot menu. I'm a little suspect of the openvr_api.dll. I think I had to download it initially from somewhere I can't find. In my efforts to make the app run I deleted it but it seems that one is now provided in the download.
Thanks!
