VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

I got that Quest 3 before xmas and for me it wasn't even a competition to what to look for (we'll maybe pico 4, but when I could afford quest 3, I didn't think about it much). You have options if you are just wanting a headset only for simracing/pcvr, but you need to have beefy computer and willing to put some serious money often to get better results (like Pimax Chrystal)

It's definitely not perfect and people with 4090 especially has said the 4090 helps with getting more out of from Quest 3 in simracing, but you don't need 4090. I have 3080 and I doubt I lose that much in quality (but I'm limiting the vertical fov in sims a lot to get the headroom needed). I and my kids use it also outside simracing as standalone thing, which was big help with justifying the purchase.

 

and even if you do, you don't need to connect it to this account (I didn't)

 

thanks.
The Primax is a bit above budget.

Really? With my Rift I had to otherwise I could not start the needed software anymore. Did they change that?

 

No idea, but that's how it worked with Quest 3 now. My first proper VR headset

 

Is A Facebook Account Required To Use The Meta Quest 3?

Looks like they've dropped the requirement for a FB account, but you still need a Meta account. At least that's what I'm getting from the article. A bit confusing.

Edit: this link seems to suggest you must create an account for initial setup.

Set up your Meta Quest 3

 

Facebook. Meta. Same same. I just set up account to get Oculus Home going, turned off all notifications and jacked up privacy options and never used the Facebook thing again

 

Moving back to this thread, in case anyone missed it, us Oculus users can now use OpenXR Toolkit thanks to this great new tool: GitHub - rodolZ80/bypass-oculus-detector: Windows Library that simulates not having the Oculus service running and having the VR Headset disconnected.

So, keen to know what settings people are using. I'm on Rift S and have ASW auto and vertical FOV 0.8 in ODT and for OXRTK I have CAS 90%, FFR custom 80% inner, middle 1/2, outer 95% 1/16, prefer Horizontal, 165% horizontal scale, 10% vertical offset, turbo off, PP on Sunglasses light, override resolution 2500x2161. This is with 7800x3d and 3080. I don't have any sharpening applied in the ini though not sure if needed on top of the CAS. I have shadows off too as find them too jaggy in this game. I don't mind the ASW kicking in for day night transitions, it's better than the frame drops with ASW disabled. Haven't touched NVCP either. MSAA is high in game. If anyone has any tips let me know.

 

Hey folks.
Do we have a consensus on VR camera settings?
I'm not using a motion rig so bouncing around with the car is out of the question, but i would like to lean with the car during banks.

I think i have it dialed in but was wondering what other people were using

 

Thanks for sharing

but if i am not mislead it was possible since few weeks ago to use opencomposite finally running openxr runtime

the trick was to crate a game launch shortcut in the steam app and launch from there

having used the Q2 in a while since the pico neo3 link is my Simracing headset now so I will try later

good there are options now though so again thanks for sharing

 

Works great thanks again for sharing

 

For Oculus 2 users: with new software updates, try H265 Encoding with Sliced Encoding OFF, at least with Link Cable connection (Oculus Tray Tool).

In theory have a bit more latency, but here with a 3060Ti the results are much better than default (H264 and 5 Slices) at default 200 bitrate (more than this with H265 is terrible).

 

I noticed you suggesting this to me in Facebook... didn't have time to try it, but I will later tonight.

 

With H265 I get rid of any fast moving objects artifacs for less than 5ms more. I like it a lot.

 

That's the way I went and it's a truly amazing experience. Everything runs butter smooth and the Quest 3's pancake lenses produce stunning clarity.

 

Tried it. It looks actually really nice, BUT on daytime, it cut my performance headroom being +35-50% to +5-15% and nightime to -50% !!! (so my fps was halfed). The only changes I did were the video code, sliced encoding off and encode bitrate to default. So basically, it doesn't make sense for me to use that. I don't know how it doesn't affect the same way for you .. maybe it's related to your more unique setup setup with Quest 2 that I can't even try because the 120hz option is not available to select and ASW doesn't really work without stutters.

 

Maybe works nice here with Q2 because I cap FOV .675/.275 and Q2 resolution is lower. Q3 deserves a Display Port option...

 

with the 40XX GPU cars, I guess you have that third encoder option... unfortunately I have just 3080 and not planning for upgrade anytime soon.

 

Unfortunately, I can't manage to control the menu with the buttons on the fanatec dd pro. Is it even possible?

 

Just for testing, you maybe can try these specific settings in Quest 3, plus lowering resolution a bit. In Quest 2, after more testings, the encoding is 4 to 5ms, transfer less than 1ms sometimes and decoding in Quest 5 to 6ms - better than using H 264 sliced encoding, the transfer speed with H 265 is much faster. Anybody with a Quest 2 I recomend try these settings someday to see how good is race with 120Hz and H 265 with lower latency.

 

Get a track ball.
