Im on the most recent version of both open brush and steamvr, everything else works without a problem. I've tried both launching open brush first and opening it while in steamvr. I've validated files, reinstalled, deleted all the files and then validated again. Nothing seems to be working

I don't suppose you've got access to a different PC you could test on? Although my hunch is that would probably just work

andybak•11/14/21, 4:07 PM

I don't have an Index myself but I'm pretty sure we'd have heard if there were issues running on the Index

Can we try you on an experimental build? Grab the SteamVR one from https://openbrush.itch.io/openbrush

andybak•11/14/21, 4:32 PM

"Open Brush Windows (Experimental)"

Aandybak "Open Brush Windows (Experimental)"

UNGOVERNABLEOP•11/14/21, 4:36 PM

UNGOVERNABLEOP•11/14/21, 4:36 PM

just black screen with no controllers and buttons dont do anything

UUNGOVERNABLE just black screen with no controllers and buttons dont do anything

I'm running out of ideas. I'm down to the following:

Install Unity, download the Unity project and run it inside Unity (even if it still breaks, we'll get better debug info)
Wipe and reinstall Windows on your machine (not guaranteed to work but I really can't think of anything other than "your machine is cursed")

andybak•11/14/21, 4:38 PM

If you know anyone with a VR capable PC, then go round there and try your headset on their PC. That would at least tell us if it is your machine that's at fault.

UNGOVERNABLEOP•11/14/21, 4:39 PM

Alright, i dont have time to try that right now but ill try installing unity later

UNGOVERNABLEOP•11/14/21, 4:39 PM

thanks for trying

UUNGOVERNABLE thanks for trying

andybak•11/14/21, 4:46 PM

You want to use Unity 2019.4.something - install Unity Hub first and that will let you pick a version

It’s also possible to get the experimental version directly from Steam, although perhaps a standalone one is best in this case, to avoid any possible steam issues

It's also easier to explain and quicker to type

AncientWorlds•11/15/21, 6:57 AM

Regarding if gifs have bloom? No idea.
Tried the code change

AncientWorlds•11/15/21, 6:59 AM

Took 5 gif videos. Four of them came up as still frames. The fifth resulted in this monstrosity of blinding light flashes

AncientWorlds•11/15/21, 8:11 AM

Played around with ge.quality settings in GifEncodeTasks (at 1 and at 30), no significant improvement or change to file size.
I suspect with the current encoder there isn't much that can be done.
Unless a better encoder is available.
At this point, aside from maybe taking a look at the other two modes am probably going to explore using a square frame video (?possible?)
