[Doc] OpenXR Toolkit does not detect Eye tracking of the Reverb G2 Omnicept
Describe the bug The OpenXR Toolkit Version 1.1.0 does not detect the eye tracking feature of the connected HP Reverb G2 Omnicept. The last 12 month I used the normal HP Reverb G2. During the upgrade to the Omnicept I just disconneted the G2 and connected the Omnicept and downloaded all available updates provided by Microsoft. At the beginning everythings looks normal. As I tried to setup the Omnicept with the HP Setup tool, I got the message "connect your VR device using a USB 3.0 port" even the VR device (the Omnicept) was connected. So, I realised there is something wrong. After starting the MSFS2020 to test if the eye tracking is possible/shown in the OpenXR Setup, I got the validation, it isn´t working. As conclusion I deinstalled all app´s like WMR, OpenXR, OpenXR Toolkit and all HP Apps/Software. Than restart the PC and run the Registry Cleaner of aShampoo, followed by another restart of the PC. Than new installation of the WMR and the HP Setuptool for the Omnicept, so far everything worked fine. Finally I installed the OpenXR and the OpenXR Toolkit, checked if new Windows updates are available (Windows System and Microsoft Store). Once again in the MSFS2020, opening the OpenXR Toolkit setup in VR, no eye tracking.

Environment

Application/Game and its version: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, all available updates installed

Make and model of VR device: HP Reverb G2 Omnicept

Version of the OpenXR runtime: 110.2204.7007

Make and model of GPU: Nvidia GeForce 3090 RTX TUF OC

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: see above discrip

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

MS FS2020 Will Not Start (Vive OpenXr)

Hi,

With anything other than 'Disable the OpenXR Toolkit' selected on the companion app, MS FS2020 will not start and always fails just before the menu would otherwise load up.

OpenXR Tooklkit is Beta-3 V1.0.2 HMD is HTC Vive Cosmos. (non beta software) I run Vive XR and close down Steam entirely. CPU is i9 10900K (Clocked at all core 5k) GPU is RXT 3090 (running stock) RAM is 3200 (64 GB)

I have also tested DX11 and DX12 and this makes no difference.

IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles locks up during loading
IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles will lock up either on loading or on transitioning to a new scene (loading in to a mission for example) if OpenXR Toolkit is enabled. There is proper rendering/tracking with the HMD for a while until the lock up.

There is a higher chance of it not locking up on initial load when OpenXR Toolkit is started in safe mode. Setting FFR has no effect in IL2 as well and in fact enabling it increases the chance of a lock up on initial load.

~~My suspicion is that this has to do with the fact that IL2 renders both eyes to the same texture sequentially; I am going by this assumption because in fholder's fsr mod there used to be rendering problems with IL2 and they were resolved with this commit:~~

~~https://github.com/fholger/openvr_fsr/commit/779dac6c83a67ccda4239bae061798718a7deff0~~

~~It is worth noting that the same sort of lock-up occurs with FFR when using fholger's vrperfkit as well, and some mild form of mitigation (it will still lock up eventually) occurs when using the #overrideSingleEyeOrder settings to impose RLRLRL rendering order.~~ Irrelevant.

Seems like this occurs if the VRS is active.

Can't open Open XR Toolkit in MSFS.

I can't open the app in MSFS. Ctrl + F2 does not work and the Companion App does not show me what the hotkey is to open the app. It just shows the function keys for navigating within the app. The companion app show that the toolkit is active (in green).

Make editing OpenXR easier with Pimax 8K X

Feature Request

Every time I start OpenXR in MSFS it only displays in the Pimax 8K X and does not appear on the PC desktop. Using Ctrl+F2 the UI locks into the VR headset position and does not float in the eye that I select making changes to the settings impossible when I move my head to "look at it."

Is there a way to lock the VR UI in front of you or make it display on the PC desktop display instead of only appearing in the UI like my screenshot below.

I see this "mirroring" feature is available using WMR.

iRacing crashes when enabling HAM
ANY ISSUE FILED WITHOUT THE INFORMATION REQUIRED BELOW WILL BE CLOSED WITHOUT BEING LOOKED AT. NO EXCEPTIONS.

I just upgraded from Toolkit1.2.2 where I was getting a constant 90fps w/ my AMD 5800x3d CPU and NVidia 3060ti using CAS @ 65% in iRacing w/ most cars at most tracks. I upgraded to 1.2.3 today and if I try to enable HAM mode the running iRacing session immediately crashes out.

If I relaunch the iRacing session and pull the OpenXR toolkit menu back up, HAM shows as disabled. I am also now topping out at 60fps w/ the same settings as in 1.2.2 and no other changes.

A clear and concise description of what the bug is. Always attach (upload, do not copy/paste) the log file that can be found at %LocalAppData%\OpenXR-Toolkit\logs or opened from the OpenXR Toolkit Companion app.

Environment Win10 64-bit, 32gb RAM iRacing (current release) in OpenXR mode, Discord, Fanalab, Crewchief v4, Chrome 108.0.x HP Reverb G2

To Reproduce

_Steps to reproduce

the behavior:_

Run iRacing, launch a "Test Drive" (in this case GR86 @ Summit Point)

Open OpenXR menu

Enable HAM

Expected behavior

That it doesn't crash or exact such a large performance hit over 1.2.2

F1 22 crash while in menu

I can start F1 22 and even join a race until the end without issues. But when I return to the menu (and probably after waiting idle for a while) OpenXR crashes. Log file states "xrAcquireSwapchainImage: XrResult failure [XR_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILURE]". Am I doing something wrong ?

PS: My graphics card is an old 980ti. VR headset is Oculus Quest 2. F1 22 runs on medium settings.

Default interaction profile should be auto-selected based on runtime name

To avoid 2 interaction profiles from fighting each other (eg: Touch controllers for physical controllers and G2 for hand emulation), add an auto-select option that will use the runtime name to make a best decision.

After using SHIFT in combo with CTRL + F1 [F3], SHIFT subsequently increments values all by itself

I've been using SHIFT in combination with the CTRL + F1 [F3] keypresses to increase the speed by which the values increment and de-increment. More than once, after doing this, pressing the CTRL key alone (no SHIFT, no F1 or F3 will continue to increment the values.
