How to change the resolution in VR?

[oli3012]

1280x720 is pretty low resolution for VR... Is there any way to change it? Maybe modify settings in a config file or pass a parameter at program launch?

Hi there, thanks for contacting us! We've designed the game to run at the maximum resolution automatically - we designed it this way as we wanted to get the maximum graphical fidelity we could without compromising performance.

Thanks for the answer. I understand you designed it to have the right balance for someone who meets the Oculus recommended specs, but people who have a better system might enjoy the game at an higer resolution. A simple screen percentage slider would do the trick. Just saying ;)

Of course, we see your point of view! I'll pass it along to development :)

Simply use the Oculus Debug tool if you want to play the game with a higher render resolution :)
Works with most games

There wouldn't be any 'compromise to performance' as long as the user has the ability to move a slider back and forth. They can adjust it based on their system specs for optimal performance.

Not having this capability built in is short-sighted. As it is, guys with Vives are going to hack it through SteamVR's 'resolutionMultiplier' and possibly run into issues, anyway.

Thanks jennyb for considering adding a setting for the resolution, I'm sure players would appreciate, especially in a few years when most people have better hardware.

In the meantime, the solution mentionned by Syndroid works well (Thanks!). If anyone wants to try it there's more details here: http://www.roadtovr.com/improve-oculus-rift-game-image-quality-using-this-tool-oculus-debug-tool/

1280x720 is not the resolution you will see in the HMD,it is only for the window on your main display.
