VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

IINM and you are using VR then those settings are for the monitor itself not the headset. AC had a similar thing to this.

 

It means...
Just me!!

 

Yep that is the other known fix for the Rift-S resolution mismatch issue.

 

Can any of you knowledgeable people point me in the right direction? Thinking of updating from my Rift S and for a time thinking of a Vive Pro 2, but love the ease of the inside-out tracking of the rift... Hows is the G2 for those of you who have it? What would be your next VR headset upgrade?

Game runs great on the Rift S but want a better quality image now that I'm convinced of only driving in VR these days

 

I went from a rift to a G2.

Image point of view the G2 is honestly amazing but is come with a Prize. You need a big GPU to Enjoy the full résolution. Now I have a 4090 the image is absoluty great with all option to ultra but MSAA to medium I running at 60% GPU on barthust ( Day, Light cloud).
With my 1080ti the G2 was still a Nice upgrade from the rift even with the reduced résolution to match my 1080ti perf

The pro is the system is full stand alone.( No base) one HDMI and one USB3 that s it !! but is also a cons. I have often to recenter the view ( not during gameplay, at game start).
With my rift after the setup never had to Do it.

However recently I was wondering about the valve index which have a lower résolution but a Higher FPS ( 120 vs 90). I ve always feel the speed is less with VR than flat displays and think it is because of refresh rate.
The good think about the G2 is the Price and There is some rebate for now on it.

For simracing only, the G2 is to be considered. For any other use or mixed use I would more recommand the valve index.
G2 generate more heat than my rift, easy to put ( on my taste) but I ve Read the valve is easier

Dunno about the vive pro 2

 

Thanks for the great response! Yeah I read someone else say if you’re going to use it purely for sim racing then it’s a really good purchase, and you have a point about the index and the frame rate. With my rift s I can last for a good few hours in VR and I mostly put it down to keeping my frames as high as I can which I’m able to because of the relatively small screen size compared, while still having most settings maxed out with my 3070, just the pixilated distance is getting to me these days.

wish I could find stores to try out options before I inevitably impulse buy something in the middle of the night

 

Could you please send a link or tell the exact name of the mod. Also your settings in the mod would be nice.

I also got the problem that I can not get any FSR mod to work with AMS2. Perhaps someone can post a step-by-step for dummies...

With Dirt 2.0 and ACC I have no problems but with AMS2 it is jut not working for me in any way. I tried OpenVR_FSR_1.1.zip with the files fsr_easu.cso, fsr_rcas.cso, openvr_api.dll, openvr_mod.cfg in it. Also vrperfkit_v0.3 and openvr_fsr_v2.1.1. Nothing seems to work. And the links in the thread FSR for Open FSR are not working anymore.

I read the whole afternoon around the web and here and it is a complete mystery to me how to get any kind of FSR working with AMS2.

 

FSR working via Opencomposite + OpenXR Toolkit

 

Thanks for your reply. Perhaps you can help me then with that.
I found this thread here in forum: OpenComposite OpenXR
There Nuscorpii postet a link for OpenComposite OpenXR. It is this one: Files · openxr · Campbell Suter (ZNix) / OpenComposite · GitLab
What I understand so far is that for a per game installation I should only download the right (x64) open_vr.dll and place it in the AMS2 Steam folder. Right?
"Per-game installation
Download the DLLs: 32-bit 64-bit

These come from AppVeyor - whenever I push some new code, it will be compiled and uploaded to those links automatically.

Find your game's openvr_api.dll file, and replace it (though I highly recommend keeping a copy of the old file if you want to switch back) with one of the DLLs available above. Be sure to get the matching platform - if the game is a 32-bit game you need the 32-bit DLL, even though you're probably running a 64-bit computer. Simple solution: if one doesn't work, try the other."

But then when it comes to install a FSR mod like this one, Release Image Upscaling via FSR or NIS for SteamVR games v2.1.1 · fholger/openvr_fsr, I have to put again an openvr_api.dll file in the AMS2 Steam folder. Which would overwrite the former one. So I don´t get how to make this work.

 

You only need Open Composite and OpenXR toolkit. Then you can access the Open XR toolkit menu in-game, where you'll find settings for fsr and much more.
Edit: Instructions and links here Quickstart

 

What he said. OpenXR Toolkit has all those features

 

Hi Sims Alabim,
TY for the reply. Yesterday I finally got the the FSR from here
FSR for OpenVR workining. Turned out I had put the files in the wrong folder since with AMS2 it is not the one with the .exe but the x64 directory.

I also got the Toolkit to work. But after a first look through the setting I enabled the setting "legacy menu" and now I can't see it anymore and also a reset of the settings don't work for me. A reinstall of the Toolkit did not solve the problem.
If anybody knows in which file the settings from the Toolkit for AMS are saved I would try to delete it. But right now I am happy with the original FSR. I get now solid 90 FPS, except for the first lap, on any track and any condition at day.

 

Hey! I'm no expert on this, but how did you reset the settings? If you open the OpenXR Toolkit Companion app, there's an option to enable safe mode. When in safe mode you can press Ctrl+F1+F2+F3 to delete all settings. I'm guessing open Companion app-->enable safe mode-->start up the game-->press Ctrl+F1+F2+F3-->close the game-->untick enable safe mode in Companion app-->start up the game again.

 

That is exactly what I tried for about half an hour and then I gave up on it and tried the FSR from NuScorpii. Perhaps it does not work because I use a wireless keyboard and there is a limit of simultaneous buttonpresses? Perhaps I will try with a cabel conection. But I have to dig one up for that.

 

Is there any possibility to change the view of the desktop mirror image?
did some stuff over the weekend, especially tried the new Spa 1970 and instantly fell in love with it. So I did a short lap for my youtube channel. As I'm running OpenXR right now, I can't capture the VR output in OBS directly, so I'm left with the mirror image.

Unfortunately (I'm on a widescreen display) in the mirror only barely the top of the car can be seen - speaking of an open wheeler, while in VR I usually have no problem seeing the steering wheel and some cockpit instruments aswell.

Here the video, at about 3 mins when I start driving it's easy to spot.

Would love to "lower" the view more to the ground in the mirror, if that's somehow possible.

I have a ring of low detail around the edges of my fov. Spectators and trees and things disappear around the edge of my quest2. Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

could it be foveated rendering?
