Revive: Remixed: Darker scenes in headset

[Dragoboss]

A new problem I discovered, while this may be related to how the games are programmed:

In some games, the in-game scenes are much darker than the on-screen scenes. When running the same game in SteamVR+Revive, this is not the case.
As if Revive translates the color schemes differently than Remixed does, translating in a different result in the HMDs.

Can someone shed some light on this?

This sounds like Remixed failed to do the SRGB conversion correctly. Which games are you seeing this in?

[Dragoboss]

First one I noticed it at were Lone echo and Echo arena..... Those are my main games anyway.

I'll do some testing today and come up with a more comprehensive list. Then again I do not have a whole lot of oculus games.

I should note I did find a temporary work around, but setting the video gamma settings higher in the Nvidia control panel by temporarily attaching another screen

[CrossVR]

SRGB is used for gamma correction, so by changing your gamma you're essentially doing that manually.

Anyway, it makes sense it doesn't work well with Lone Echo, it uses the R11G11B10 format. Which doesn't automatically convert between SRGB and linear colors.

[Dragoboss]

I see
Well, guess that means I'll have to deal whenever playing those games.

[Dragoboss]

Any chance we could somehow set multiple pre-game profiles for the color schemes?

[CrossVR]

I could just implement the proper conversion of that format to linear colors in Remixed, but your idea sounds insane and cumbersome, I like it.

Should be fixed in the new beta: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/releases/tag/1.4.0

[Dragoboss]

Confirmed fixed.
