Review from(https://www.youtube.com/@VRified_Games): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF9PPtOpwDo
v1.0.2 - fixed custom resolution requirements, you no longer need it, however if game window won't fit your displayit will default DLSS preset to DLAA which you are able to change right now.
v1.0.3 - moved subtitle into visiable area also these are scaled according to same scale factor as hud ( who don't know you can scale HUD in mod overlay)
v1.0.4 - openVR fix for projections and separate archive
v.1.0.5 - inactivity timer for motion controls so it won't interfere with real controllers
v.1.0.6 - path raytracing fix
v1.0.7 - singtaure scan version potentiall for any store
P.S. be aware of naming archives with names openvr/openxr are for different openxr and openxr respectfully.
