Meant to be Seen

I had no problem running games like Dear Esther (after changing gametype from 101 to 10) or Left 4 Dead 2 with nightly 20140911 and positional tracking. But yesterday's update completely broke Vireio for me. I'm following the same steps that I followed with previous version, and now all injected games do the same:

1) I load Vireio, set the DK2 to primary monotir and launch the game
2) The new text showing Vireio version and extra info shows on my DK2 for a second, and then game window dissappears, leaving just the desktop.
3) It really doesn't dissappear, I get a small black rectangle on the upper left part of the screen.

I have an AMD R9 290X and Windows 8.1. If I launch the old version, that I have in another folder, it runs perfectly. I have the feeling that my computer doesn't like this new launch text. I have also tried to leave my monitor as primary display but I get the same: the text shows for a second, then some flashes and then my desktop. The game is still running, I can hear the sound, but no picture at all.

It would be good if you added a CFG or a launch parameter to disable this splash screen, to find out if this is causing the problem. By the way, does any of the developers have a Radeon card?

That's a good idea. I have added a parameter to the config.xml, which if set to 0 will turn off all these notifications and splash screens, just so you can eliminate them as a potential cause. I'm unable to reproduce as I don't have a Radeon card myself and I am pretty sure Baggyg doesn't either.

The next nightly will have this fix in it (along with a couple of other minor tweaks), so if you can hang on until then, you'll be able to try it out.

Thanks! I'll report back as soon as I try that new version.

Tried the new nighty build (20140917) and it fixed my problems when I disabled notifications. It doesn't work with notifications enabled. I hope in the future you can get some Radeon cards to do a more complete testing before release.

Thanks guys
