I've found 60Hz to be the best experience, though there is still some dragging that I'd like to try to resolve; I expect 120Hz would work even better if you have the firmware version to support it. +### Display size + +If the screen appears very small in your view, you may be playing at the Deck screen's native resolution, and not at the glasses' native +resolution. To fix this: +1. Go to the game details in Steam, hit the Settings/cog icon, and open `Properties`, then for `Game Resolution` choose `Native`. +2. After launching the game, if it's still small, go into the game options, and in the graphics or video settings, change the resolution (the glasses run at 1920x1080). + +If you *WANT* to keep a low resolution, then you can just use the `Zoom` setting to make the screen appear larger. For now this is done through the config script: `~/bin/xreal_driver_config -z 1.0`. Larger numbers zoom in (e.g. `2.0` doubles the screen size) and smaller numbers zoom out (e.g. `0.5` is half the screen size). + ### Disabling To disable the floating screen effect, either unplug the glasses or hit the `Home` key (you'll need to bind this to your controller on Steam Deck).
