FSR and FedelityFX Super Resolution

FSR is AMD's FedelityFX Super Resolution, its similar to Nvidia's DLSS in that it uses lower rendered in game frames and upscale them to the full screen image. However it open source and can work on many different GPUs. Right now expanding the use of GPUS will help curve demand and possibly allow people to experience VRC in its full glory on simpler machines

Why is this a good thing?
This allows your game to get much more FPS vs not having it. With tuning this can be upwards of 60FPS or more

It's too good to be true.
While this does increase performance in the sense of FPS it will slightly increase frame latency and also degrade the image quality some bit. The catch is how much till you notice and to what degree can you tell.

OpenVR_FSR

OpenVR_FSR is a mod to the OpenVR_API.dll file that is the fundamental backbone to all SteamVR games. Its source code is also open source. A modder by the name of Holger Frydrych has modded in AMD's FSR into the openvr_api.dll and has made it available to download. Praise be that person.

OpenVR_FSR install how to guide

*Before continuing make sure the game is not running.*

• 1. Open the directory of the VR game you want to apply the mod too.
  *For the majority of steam games you can find the game directory by right clicking on the game in your library, navigate to manage, and selecting the open game directory option.*
  
  
• 2. Search for openvr_api.dll (upper right search in the directory window)
  
  
• 3. Right click on the displayed file and select open file location.
  
  
• 4. Rename the openvr_api.dll to openvr_api.dll.old
  if you do not see the file extensions you need to enable it under the view tab in windows explorer
  
  
• 5. Move the files in the linked zip at the end of the how to into the same directory.
  
  *Your replacing the current openvr_api.dll with the new one. The .old is to be able to revert if you want.*
  
  
• 6. Open the .cfg file and tune the render scale to your desired quality.

*As a reference I suggest starting at .50 and working up till you balance FPS and quality to your liking. Shutdown the game make changes and relaunch to apply new settings.*

*! Higher the number the better the quality, but lower the FPS !*

*If you run into issues you can shut off FSR in the .cfg by changing the top true option to false. If problems still persist, delete the openvr_api.dll and remove the .old from the original .dll.*

UPDATE: NVIDIA's Image Scaling has been added to the mod I suggest enabling it in your .cfg

[SimanSama]

Yeah, I hope the guide helped as many people as it could while VRC was in it's golden days... Tried to help as many people as I could play the game.

[SluttyCrotchNazi]

welp hey, vrc did it to themselves.

they can also fix it themselves if they werent money hungry

[SimanSama]

Yeah VRC is banning even rendering pipeline mods game is a joke now.

[FireFox]

This has been banned under the new VRC Easy Anti Cheat update. Even t hough it doesn't modify the client directly it still uses dll injection and that is a no-no under the new EAC update.

[FluffyDoge313]

this aged like milk

[SimanSama]

This is a modification to the render pipe line not the game.
