Update v0.9.2 released


HereSphere update v0.9.2 for the Quest 2 is now available on itch.io. This update fixes refresh rate issues caused by the new Android OS update, slightly improves playback smoothness, and adds a peripherals movement range toggle.

Refresh Rate:

  • Fixed issue with heavy screen flickering at 60hz refresh rate caused by the Quest Android 12 OS update (v51 and newer)
  • Supported refresh rates are now properly discovered for the device. Quest 2 supports 60Hz, 72Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz. Quest Pro supports 72Hz, 80Hz, and 90Hz.
  • Slightly improved the frame pacing, which helps with smoother video playback. The sweet spot for the resolution setting for getting smooth playback is a bit larger. On a side note, if you set the refresh rate to 120Hz, and then really crank up the resolution so the frame rate drops to a consistent 60fps, you can actually get pretty smooth video playback. For example, if sharpening is enabled, and the autofocus accuracy is 4, try setting the resolution to 1.8. When the menu is hidden, the fps should hover around 60. You can also try cranking up the autofocus accuracy to 16, and then setting the resolution to around 1.7.

Other Changes:

  • Added a toggle in the synchronized peripherals menu to control whether HereSphere is able to adjust the device's movement range. If you prefer to use the buttons on the device itself to control the movement range, then you should keep this toggle disabled. If you want to use HereSphere's range controls, then you should enable this toggle.
  • Reverted the default sharpening setting to 0. Previous updates had accidentally set this to 2. As a reminder, you can set your own default sharpening setting by clicking on the button labeled "Image" in the video settings, and then saving over the first preset in the drop down menu.
