Thanks for the tip. I got it working.

For a slightly less destructive approach (avoid renaming VaM_Data folder), at least in Windows 10, you can run an administrator command prompt and use the following to make a sym link (a renamed shortcut to existing folder basically) to VaM_Data:

mklink /D SOTTR_Data VaM_Data

Thank you for this. I expected to take a massive FPS hit, but honestly, the 5fps i might lose is worth the look. And it's stupid easy to get running. Thanks!

What should I rename my VR file? I've noticed when I rename the exe to SOTTR I can't open VR mode without renaming the file back to VaM. I am referring to the VaM (OpenVR).bat fie, thanks!

You'll need to change VaM.exe to SOTTR.exe in the VR bat file too. Like: START "VaM" SOTTR.exe -vrmode OpenVR

Looks amazing thanks for sharing, should use this for the fps impact https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5280/~/how-to-enable-nvidia-image-scaling
And for the lazy copy this and save in a .bat file
START "VaM" SOTTR.exe -vrmode None -screen-width 2954 -screen-height 1662 -screen-fullscreen 1

Awesome, going to give it a shot. That said, out of curiosity why doesn't this work in VR? Also, I'm hoping since I have a 3090 I won't notice an FPS hit since the proc will hopefully still be the only limiter :-)

Don't know the details but GeForce Experience doesn't work with VR games, so can't apply the filter there. Yeah, if you're CPU bound and GPU load is below 100%, you'll see a much smaller FPS hit. Being CPU bound depends on the scene as well.

Neat trick.

Got some nice results immediately with only one or two pixel lights.

The performance hit is real, but I feel like needing less light sources for similar results offsets a lot of that.

Thankyou anyway. :)
