VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

Try turning off fxaa. That generally just blurs the image in VR

 

My hunch is that it ends up compressing more if you run higher settings that you system can handle and it's not always / only the fps that takes a hit. Also it's never going to be that sharp in the distance without increased resolution and less compression (that requires more power / higher resolution capable headset). I never got my setup to be that clear in the distance, but I got it to a point that it's at least okay enough to be enjoyable experience (and note, I have 3080 + Quest 3, and I limit my vertical fov to 0.3, so much more than your 0.85 and I run the graphical settings a bit lower as well).

ps. I ended up not using the increased sharpening after all to have the picture a bit more "calm" as it already can end up with quite a bit of shimmering without it already.

 

thank you for your experiences. I have now revised my settings on page 125. It gets slightly better, but it's definitely not a crystal clear view, but the best what i´ve found out.

I'm still wondering what the "sharpening clamp" and "offset bias" settings are for

 

My question got a bit burried but maybe someone can help me with my audio problem?

 

In the rain there should be a lot more water, blurring the windscreen so you have to use your wipers.

 

Can someone explain to me what the ASW is all about? When I have it turned on, I'm often at half fps, but otherwise I can't tell any difference. Can someone tell me something more precise?

 

Asynchronous Space Warp. It's frame interpolation, meaning in situations where you cant achieve native frame rate it will cap your frames at half refresh rate and interpolate the missing frames to output at the correct rate. Essentially it makes a very good guess at what should happen between real frames.

When it works well and in your case if you don't notice it then it can be really useful if your GPU is otherwise struggling and when it works poorly you get artifacting, noticeable ghosting and it can make some people feel a bit funky.

 

thank you for your detailed answer. but why do I have 45 fps at 90hz in such situations? Shouldn't I also have 90 fps because the 45 fps are interpolated?

How about AMS2 specific? I've read everywhere that you should ASW off, is that correct? If yes, why?

 

It depends on where you're reading the fps from. I'm not sure with oculus/meta whether with the Quest line ASW takes place on the headset or the PC. Either way the game is locked at half the refresh rate when ASW kicks in so the game reports that number. But ASW is producing the missing frames outside of that and making up the difference.

Whether to enable it or not is really up to you. If you're not reaching the native refresh rate without it enabled then it's possible the reason you don't notice when it is enabled is because you're already experiencing choppy frames to some extent anyway.

I would suggest lowering settings to a point where your GPU can smoothly output 72 or 90fps etc and then compare this to how it looks feels with ASW enabled. If you really don't notice a difference in image quality between it being on or off then you can do whatever you want. Having it on will at least be saving you on your electricity bill.

Some people more or less sensitive to these things and some are just snobs. Do whatever works for you.

 

You will need to give the phonetic spelling of what you're saying to Voice Attack so it will understand your accent and get it to pass a keystroke to Crew Chief to trigger the response you want. It will work perfectly.

 

Because you've run out of headroom and ASW is kicking in.

 

When exactly kicks ASW in? is there a Description for the "ASW-Auto"?

New V1.5.5.2 has been deployed, Sadly no further optimization of vehicle light performance at night or raining, I hope it is still in devs' list, at least add an option to limit number of vehicle behind player.

 

What we need is the ability to dim the dash and wheel lights.

 

Yes that would be so nice! Please devs add this option.

That would be awesome as well. Sometimes the screen in the car is too bright.

 

Just tested AMS2 on my Quest 3 using the Steamlink app.

Previously i used the Link Cable mode with an aftermarket Kiwi cable (ain't paying 5-times the price for an official one) and frankly i was always struggling with the right combo of framerate / quality and could never ever find a sweetspot for any setting.

That being said with the Steamlink it runs so well ! Not totally perfectly as you would using a cable on a beefy PC but where previously i had constant random loss of frames, jutter and the low bitrate ruining the image, with the Steamlink app (120 hz mode disabled to reduce battery drain) it all runs and looks really great ! Also still having the cable plugged in to increase battery life as i did in Link Cable mode.

Router i use is the Tp-Link Archer AX55 AX3000.

 

sounds like a really nice bunch of improvements coming for the PICO and Streaming Assistant. I only use mine for AMS2 and AC both of which have been problematical getting them to run i.e. in the headset and not on a big screen in the headset.

 

I’m on the scout for a new VR set and PC as well, as you all can see in my sig. My PC is from 2017 and it still works great with AMS2 and 1 screen but not so good for use with the current VR headsets. I really miss racing in VR. I had an Oculus Rift v2 but sold it a year ago due to EOL . Any recommendations on a VR set? I thought a Reverb g2 but that one is EOL according their website.
So a Meta quest 3 also have very good reviews. Although it is from Meta and an FB account is mandatory . That is Doubtful of course.
There are more sets but I really don’t know which is the best option. They all will have their pro’s and con’s.
Planning to buy an AMD Ryzen7 7800x3D CPU and an Nvidia 40xx (TI) GPU.

there simply is to much to choose from.

 

Just to be clear, you need a Meta account, not a Facebook account. I do not have a Facebook account.
