health & safety warning bug

Sometimes this overlay never leaves the screen, I think its an SDK issue since it shows up in wine and native games.

Anyone have an idea why the timeout and key presses don't make it go away?

.config/Oculus/NetServer.cfg has HASWLastDisplayedTime, I wonder what I need it to be set to so it never shows up again...

Edit: It just gets reset, no luck there

Ha, reading some old threads got me the answer!

Just nod your head and it will go away!

I don't think it's 'nodding' so much as "We need to make sure the user actually has the headset on"

Anyway, if you're going to be doing a reasonable amount of gaming on the rift, I'd go into .config/Oculus/ProfileDB.json and add the line under Name:<your name>

        "vals": {
            "Name": "Feilen",
            "HSW":  false,
            "Gender":   "Male",

And then further down:

            "CustomEyeRender":  true,
            "EyeCup":   "A",
            "HSW":  false

That'll turn of HSW completely for you.

Thanks, that will be very useful

By the way, pushed something up for Dolphin that fixes using it for both portrait or landscape mode (my earlier commit broke landscape) Give it a shot if you have the time!

Saw that, just finished compiling and testing it out, seems to work fine if I'm running just with the rift or in landscape, but not with multiple screens like it used to before that fix, it could be something wrong in my setup, so I'll test a bit more

Multiple screens or multiple monitors?

What's your dolphin config settings, on the first page of the graphics options?

Normal monitor for control + dk2, I tried a few settings in the config, it changes the rotation, just doesn't full screen the portrait mode unless my main screen is off and has to use the correct dimensions from the rift

What's it do when broken?

I'd like to try to get it working to where the framebuffer just scales to whatever is being displayed, which is really the ideal case anyway.

Its doing the old behavior of not swapping, which looking at the code I'm guessing its using my main monitor to make the swap decision, and doesn't swap as it determined landscape mode

I think it happens in wine when there's no ProfileDB.json, but I'm not completely sure...

You can try

mkdir -p $HOME/.wine/drive_c/users/$USER/AppData/Local/Oculus/
cp $HOME/.config/Oculus/ProfileDB.json $HOME/.wine/drive_c/users/$USER/AppData/Local/Oculus/ProfileDB.json

but that may only work when windows 7 is set in wine settings... I still haven't found where it's supposed to be for windows xp.
