WibbleWobble Setup and Configuration

Using WibbleWobble is at your own risk to your monitor/emitter/glasses. It works well but is unofficial
WibbleWobble works with 3DVision, Open3DOLED, and several DIY hardware solutions
These instructions cover 3DVision Hardware setup, but will hopefully be useful for others as well

Switching From VRto3D (+WibbleWobbleReshade) to WibbleWobbleVR

You cannot run both of these virtual HMDs at the same time
If using WibbleWobbleReshade, rename dxgi.dll in your Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\bin\win64 folder
Open SteamVR prior to installing WibbleWobbleVR
On the SteamVR Status window, select Hamburger Icon->Settings
Go to the Startup / Shutdown tab
Select Manage Add-Ons
Turn vrto3d Off
If going back to VRto3D, reverse these steps and turn WibbleWobbleVR Off

Initial WibbleWobble Setup

Download and unzip the latest release: Releases Here
Register WibbleWobble:
In Windows Explorer, right-click WibbleWobbleClient/Register.bat and select Run as administrator.
Disable Desktop Scaling: Disable desktop scaling in Windows settings. WibbleWobble and some games are not DPI aware, and scaling can cause window size issues. (For example, Assetto Corsa.)

Playing a Game

Start the Game:
Launch the game in VR mode
Confirm entering VR (NOT ALL GAMES) If you see a black screen chances are the game is waiting for you to confirm that it should enter VR.
- SHIFT + / will unfocus the WibbleWobble window allowing you to ALT + TAB to find the window for the game and click the required buttons.
- SHIFT + / again will re-focus the WibbleWobble window once you have confirmed entering VR mode.
- Sometimes it’s enough to just focus the game window with ALT + TAB and hit enter to confirm the option.
Configure or Play:
- Once launched, you can adjust WibbleWobble’s settings or begin playing.
- VR specific settings such as resolution, fov, etc.. can be changed inside VR Config.
  - FoV & Focal Length may not update properly when a game is running and require you to restart the game or mod
- Changes to Resolution require a SteamVR restart; this is an OpenVR limitation.
- Some games prevent the automatic focus change to the WibbleWobbleUI; if you press SHIFT + END and nothing happens or the UI draws and you can’t control it; focus the WibbleWobble window with ALT + TAB to regain control.
Maintain Focus on the Game Window:
The game window should remain in focus. If the WibbleWobble window is in focus when the WibbleWobble UI is closed, ALT + TAB until the game window is in focus.
ReCenter the view: Place your head at the centre of the play space and press “SHIFT + .” to recenter tracking. You need to do this every time you run WibbleWobble to center the tracking. If the reprojection behaves strangely such as scaling irregularly this means your head is in the wrong position when recentering. You may need to move your head a little closer or further away than expected when recentering; this takes some practice.
OPTIONALLY: Toggle the overlay focus: Press “SHIFT + /” to toggle the focus on the overlay. You can do this to be able to use the mouse accurately within the game. There is a mouse cursor fix coming to remove the need to do this.
Don’t close the WibbleWobble window WibbleWobble will currently not recover if you close the WibbleWobble window. You must restart the game if you do this. Use the SHIFT + / key to toggle the overlay focus if you need to get around the desktop.

Troubleshooting

If you experience ghosting, try turning on your monitor’s Lightboost or Ultra Low Motion Blur or ULMB feature. You may have to enable 3DVision in Nvidia Control Panel for this setting to be available
If your 3D Emitter doesn’t activate, try the following:
- Unplug/replug the emitter
- Toggle 3DVision On/Off
- Restart SteamVR
If you are getting too much wobbling, try the following:
- Toggle VSync off or on in-game
- Close all other applications
- Toggling GSync On/Off
- Toggling 3DVision On/Off
- Or try rebooting
If WibbleWobble settings are really messed up, delete your %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\PHARTGAMES\WibbleWobble folder
To uninstall the driver completely, navigate to the WibbleWobbleVR folder and Run Uninstall.bat; you may need to run as administrator.
