VRmin 0.49

VRmin 0.49

A fix for new installs, a much bigger cinema, a new Space room and a first beta for Windows.

Important fix

• Installing VRmin on a Mac for the first time failed while installing the Windows games engine ("d3d11.dll: No such file or directory"). It works again. If it happened to you: update, then click Install next to the Windows games engine again.

Rooms

• Cinema: a much bigger room with rows of seats, aisles, a stage, wall lights and more detail. The screen is bigger and higher, and walking up and down the rows feels smooth.
• Space: no floor, you just float. A real round planet with clouds and a ring that slowly tilts around it, with the planet's shadow on the ring and the ring's shadow on the planet. There's also a moon, a spiral galaxy, a far-away sun, colorful nebulae and shooting stars now and then.
• The sky no longer turns with you when you turn.
• Changing rooms always puts you back in the middle of the new room.

Half-Life 2: VR Mod

• The "Loading…" message between levels is farther away and looks right in both eyes.
• Smoother when new things show up on screen.

Other changes

• Game frames are handled at the highest priority on the Mac.
• The logs now say when the Mac gets hot and slows down (helps us find performance problems).

VRmin for Windows (beta)

• A first version of VRmin for Windows PCs: play the Steam VR games on your PC on the Quest, and use the Windows desktop from the headset.
• It hasn't been tested on a real Windows PC yet. If you try it, please tell us how it went in an Issue and attach the VRmin.log file ("Logs" button).
• The steps are in the README.txt file inside the .zip.

Downloads

• VRmin.Host.0.49.zip: the Mac app
• VRmin-0.73.apk: the Quest app
• VRmin.Windows.0.1.zip: the Windows app (beta)
