  • Update the GPU drivers to the latest version

Setting up hardware

  • Once the setup process is complete, login with an Oculus (or Facebook) account. Create a free account if you don't have one.
  • Once the Oculus setup process is complete, download and install Steam to install SteamVR. SteamVR is required to run Trezi on Oculus hardware.
  • Once Steam is downloaded and installed, sign-in to it. Create a free account if you don't have one.
  • Once you are signed in and have the hardware connected, Steam will detect it and prompt you to install SteamVR. Follow the on-screen instructions to continue. If you do not get the prompt to install SteamVR, got the next step to install it manually.

Setting up SteamVR resolution manual override

Recent builds of SteamVR introduced a feature that automatically sets render resolution based on your installed GPU. While this works good for games, this can have a negative impact on Trezi's performance. To disable this, follow these steps:
  • Open SteamVR menu and select settings

  • Go to the Video tab, enable Manual Override and move the slider underneath it to 100%. You can now close the settings window.
