Released in 3.7.0- 11/03/21 - Faster launch of Shadow from launcher (no need to click twice on Start Shadow
- Slicker User Interface in launcher & Quick Menu (We know this first version is very very pixelated)
Known bugs & Performance issues
- Overall experience can be stuttering & less fluid than we would like at the moment
- Some areas in some game might generate an unusual amount of lag and jitter
- When joining the Stream from the launcher or from a guardian passthrough (double tap on the Quest side) you will experience a degradation of image quality (pixel mess)
- There is a delta between the tip of the controller’s position in real life vs in its VR projection
- We know there is an annoying disclaimer at the bottom of your view, we find it a necessary reminder that this is a work in progress
Fixed in 1407- 19/11/20 - Shutting down Shadow from the VR app launcher then starting it again from the Quest app will frequently generate a start error (No stream, bad quality stream or frozen desktop view, app crashing)
- First launch after downloading the apk will result in an issue (No stream, bad quality stream or frozen desktop view). Shut down and restart necessary after that
Fixed in 3.4.1- 23/12/20 - Going from The Quest app to the desktop app requires a long environment update (5 min in average)
- Switch times from the desktop app to the VR app are too long as well (2 min in average)
Fixed in 3.7.0- 11/03/21 - New 3.4.1: On quest 2, in ShadowVR launcher, Oculus Touch pointers blink permanently
- New 3.4.1: Starting Shadow VR while your Shadow is turned off will result in a session with very poor performances. Please start Shadow VR only with your Shadow session already turned on through a desktop client
- End Session Rating panel might appear in your back when you long press the option button to get back to the launcher
- Long press Oculus Button does not reset position as it should while a stream is running
- Sound bars overlay from Quest does not appear over the app
Game specific bugs:
Robo Recall -- Player can’t orient his teleportation
Transpose -- Vive controllers are displayed so the joysticks have no effect on movement
derail valley -- Vive controllers are displayed as well
Vermintide VR -- Right hand shows left hand model (and vice versa). Overall unplayable
Accounting + -- Does not launch
Borderlands 2 -- Holding the option button is also an input in game
Application shortcuts:
- Long pressing the Option button (left controller) brings you back to the launcher
- Press on the Oculus button (right controller) 4 times when you are somehow stuck (Hard Quit). It will save you from having to restart your Quest :)
