Elite Dangerous without Parallel Projections?

Pimax 8K Series
21

See my post 20h ago for the link.
Start elite through the normal launcher and run the run.cmd in the linked archive,
The script will grab your token and create a shortcut that includes it on your desktop.
That shortcut will start elite without needing to start the launcher.
If you look in properties for the shortcut you can see your current TOKEN.

The TOKEN refreshes every now and then so you will need to remake the shortcut with the script every now and then, i think its every week or so, it depends on Frontiers maintenance.

I have created an “Issue Report” with Frontier here:
https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/848

If people could go here and click “Can Reproduce” and add any additional details we can get the issue confirmed “Vote” we can increase the priority.

@PimaxUSA is there anything that you could do to help? For example, giving Frontier a point of contact? Edit: Or if someone from Pimax could contribute to the issue with info on how to fix it, that would help too.

Edit: I have created another topic here https://community.openmr.ai/t/created-elite-dangerous-issue-report-related-to-rendering-without-pp-need-confirmations/19154?u=manzilla

Elite Dangerous does not like to be launched through OVR_Launcher_x64.exe/OVR_Launcher_x86.exe.

This is an issue because PiTool uses the OVR_Launcher_x64.exe/OVR_Launcher_x86.exe to launch Elite Dangerous which renders the Token invalid.

Getting the Token passed through PiTool is equivalent to the below .bats:

@echo off

cd “C:\Program Files\Pimax\Plugin\OCSupport”

START OVR_Launcher_x64.exe “X:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-64\EliteDangerous64.exe” "ServerToken Your Token

@echo off

cd “C:\Program Files\Pimax\Plugin\OCSupport”

START OVR_Launcher_x64.exe “X:\Program Files\Oculus\Software\frontier-developments-plc-elite-dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-64\EliteDangerous64.exe” "ServerToken Your Token

I would like to try ED soon, I bought it on Steam sale. Curious if this (running oculus runtime) will work with Steam version? Thanks!

Tried your suggested .bat corrected for my install directory, still getting the log in error as if the token isnt passed on correctly.

ADDITION: ive tried copying the full shortcut target into a .bat to see if that will log in correctly but that doesnt work for some reason:
C:\games\EDlaunch\Products\elite-dangerous-64\EliteDangerous64.exe "ServerToken MY_TOKEN

Is there some kind of magic in the structure of the .ink file that isnt visible?

The Token is rendered useless because Elite Dangerous can not be launched with PiTool’s OVR_Launchers.

We need an exception but Frontier probably won’t budge.

35

Even without launching through the OVR_launcher, just straight through the .bat doesnt work, only through the .ink file logs in automatically.

Might there be a way to get OVR_launcher to correctly use the .ink file?

Ive tried just putting the .ink in the .bat but that does nothing, as if the command line doesnt see the .ink at all.

36

Place below .bats where EDLaunch.exe is located.

@echo off
START EDLaunch.exe /edh /vr /autoquit

@echo off
START EDLaunch.exe /ED /vr /autoquit

I have created another topic for the discussion on the issue report. I edited a link into the original post.

@Heliosurge is it possible to split the posts out from this topic and merge them over to the other one so that we stop cluttering up this one? Thanks.

Can everyone that confirmed go back and Vote on the issue report?

Some auto-formatter messed with the text and substituted non-standard characters. Specifically, the double quotes need to be the standard ASCII " character. The offending chars look similar: “ and ”, which are syntactically incorrect and should not be used in code of any kind.

44

The “default” quotation mark on shift+2 on qwerty swedish is the ASCII character as far as i can tell but im quite sure i tested it with multiple different quotation marks available.

I havnt tried playing Elite since posting this, i know the issues was pushed on Frontiers issue tracker but i dont think they have done anything about it.

Dont want to play Elite as ive got sparkles in my 5k+ currently, support is notified and a new cable is on the way.

Maybe no a 100% what I meant. I think a user here started a topic on Frontier’s forum for ED. But yeah good to see if pimax has reached out & vice versa. :beers::sunglasses::+1::sparkles:
