The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt screen upside down

[photowiz]

First, screen "floated" up very high. When i got it down, the screen was upside down. I didn't see a control to flip/rotate the screen. Any quick fix?
Thanks

Baffling. Never heard of or seen this particular scenario. No idea how it would actually flip coordinates. Presumably it was right side up on your monitor, but with red/blue 3D.

We don't presently have any option to flip screen this way, but it would be worth trying to reset all the preferences back to defaults.

Be sure to use the 'default' branch in Steam to get the 0.8.60 version. The curved screen prototypes could conceivably have some glitch like this.


To reset all preferences, click both VR controller triggers at once. An alternate approach is to use keyboard settings when the mirror window is up, of Backspace and backtick at the same time.

Resetting all the preferences back to defaults worked. Thanks

While on the subject of screen manipulation, it would be nice to control the tilt of the screen, etc. I play reclined, this type of controls would be useful. Virtual Desktop is an excellent example of this. You can play games (2D only), watch 3D movies (SBS, OU), etc on a giant virtual screen even laying on your back .

Would it be possible to launch Helixvision in Virtual Desktop, or would it be too laggy?

I also would like an option to start in VR with Katanga. Let me then select which game I want to play from within Katanga.

Vorpx does something like this. It has a desktop mode. You can select your 3D environment and then just select what you want to do or which game you want to start.

Would be cool to also be able to watch 3D movies from within Katanga.

Not out of the question, but the code to manage being able to reset the screen to outside of the play area depends upon a Y axis rotation that would then be munged. However, please add it as a feature request on HelixVision.com.

Currently not feasible without rewriting the entire app. It uses the WPF which doesn't know how to draw anything with DirectX, and thus is not compatible with VR.

Could conceivably do a desktop view like Virtual Desktop/BigScreen as a way to get to the UI, but you can already do this with Oculus dashboard and Steam dashboard.

Lots of complexity for low payoff, but if you think it's an important addition, please add it to the requests on HelixVision.com.

I expect to add SBS support reasonably soon, because some games work this way. That will open up the abilty to play some 3D movies.

However, setting up for a full 3D blu-ray stack is unlikely to happen, because of their requirement for a protected chain of data to the screen. I doubt they'd ever certify this display chain as compliant.
