Ok. i tried sansar again today.
Not changed much, The text in VR is still pixelated.

I tried to make example, because i cannot take snapshot in VR.
For me tekst in VR looks a bit like this with my HTC Vive.
 

Same problem with the chat, it's unreadable, until you hold it so cose to your face that the controller hit your headset. Not have this problem in high fidelity btw. Tekst is just readable there.

 

This problem is present in "The Atlas", "Chat", and what use that font and font size. An dthe bad thing is the atlas you cannot move closer.

  I admit I have to pull the chat window fairly close to my face in order to read it easily in my Vive. I think Richardus has a minor visual impairment, but I'm talking about the limits of the individual pixels in the display.

  It's in this case not my eyes. but a design problem in the font / pixels and distacne what galen say of the htc vive.

  Curious if devs are testing with the htc vive. So easy to spot.

  The big problem is, let's say 3 months ago or a bit longer. it where perfect readable. So i bet that something is changed in sansar.

  Done a bit more testing, everything is pixalated with menu's in VR. The login screen is unreadable, the atlast is unreadable. And before i can look further things are disappeared to the desktop. See other bug.

  I don't know how it works. But it feels like the interface is using a lower setting internal then 100%. where hoping i could adjust that in steam. But it's only available for steam software.

  I think sansar use a setting below 100% for the menu's in VR

  I think in some way, after this update/change in steamVR the problems started.

  No, i do not use steam beta. And still the font is desigfend in sansar to small for VR anyway. in VR font's need to be bigger anyway.

  I went back and found you are exactly right. The description text in the Atlas is now unreadable. You can see the visible pixels are larger that the physical display's pixels. And moving your head subtly does not improve it.

  i noticed a while back about when starting sansar with vive on the altlas background starts blank/transparent after i went to a experience the background image is there and the text readable. not sure if that's is still the case. i can not test for the moment if that is still there.and that is what you mean?

  I got fianly the screenshot functionality working.
  You first need to add the sansarclient.exe to your steam library.
  Still a bit tricky to take pictures. because pressing "system" and/or "menu" button is getting sansar in a state that you lose the world in the htc vive or you need to restart the client because nothing works in the VR with sdansar but it's still runningin desktop mode and show it's still set to VR.

  Ok, screen shot !

  

  And the stereo one if you want to see it in VR.

  As test i found now the setting to override the application settings.
  Just as test i pushed things beyond what's recommended :O Only have a GF980

  

  So, i did first a test at 200% that made it a bit better.
  After that i did pushed it to 500%. it start to look better.

  
  Sorry the VR picture failed.
  It's betetr, but still not perfect.
  Especially the right event bar is small and not perfect to read.

  I think sansar need to redesign the atlas , so it use default bigger font's what VR need. Or the changed other setting what the image quality is pushing to far down for the overlay menu's.

   Amyway, at 500% the small font's not looks exciting in VR. Like you see the bigger font's work much better for VR
