VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

My tip is lowering the horizontal FOV in headset until you don't really loss any visible FOV and lower vertical FOV when you have the desired FPS and graphics quality you want.

 

Hi, is it possible to play Ams2 in Steam VR using Quest 3?

 

Yes but you need to prevent it from running in oculus mode.

GitHub - rodolZ80/bypass-oculus-detector: Windows Library that simulates not having the Oculus service running and having the VR Headset disconnected.

 

Hello,
is there a setting for VR where you can set the following. In the replays, the driver is rendered quite late. I see him pop up about 100 meters away.

 

I've never noticed this before. But I also rarely watch replays. But it could have something to do with the graphics settings for the track or car.

 

If you use the helmet view you will notice on modern helmets that you can set the vertical Fov down to 0.3 (even a little less) without noticing the edges. Sometimes I do that and set the resolution to NextGen level. It looks crazy, but the walk back always hurts.

 

I experience something similar with the pit crew. When I enter the pits, I only see the wheels and the wheel guns. Then when I get closer, suddenly the pit crew pops up. Don´t know whether this is a VR thing only.

 

Hey, are there any Quest 3 users here? What kind of 3rd party headstrap do you use? I don’t think I want the Bobovr s3 pro. Way too bulky. And to be honest, I do not need an extra battery pack. I almost only play via a link cable.
Which one can you recommend besides a Bobovr?

 

I love this head strap. I use the battery, but even if not using it, it's worth the money. The gear mechanism lets me move the facial interface off my face. The only thing about using the link cable with it, is the heavy cable needs to be plugged in 180 degrees from normal because the gear interferes with it. Either way, best strap for me. I see right now it has an $8 off coupon. Great deal.

Edit: another great feature is the way you can swing the front of the facial interface up. You could completely remove the facial interface and still have the front supported without touching your face. Overall excellent design.

Search Amazon U.S. for:

KKCOBVR Q3 PRO Comfort Battery Pack Head Strap 10000mh Compatible with Meta Quest 3

 

If it is a bit of a good design, then it is a nice one. Price wise it is a no brainer. €32,00

 

I have Destek QH3 and it's great for PCVR.

 

I bought the original Meta head strap on day one, no clue what it is called. Didn´t even try the cloth strap, attached the plastic strap and never looked back. Works perfectly for me.

 

Thanks guys. To much choice.

 

Has anyone else experienced an issue with AMS2 launching only in Steam VR and not on Open XR? I just noticed that this is happening. I prefer OpenXR only as it seems to run better that Steam VR. I seem to remember that there was a Steam VR update recently and wonder if it is related.

 

Using Oculus I assume? You need to get this dll GitHub - rodolZ80/bypass-oculus-detector: Windows Library that simulates not having the Oculus service running and having the VR Headset disconnected.

 

yes you need this indeed. Once active, it works like a charm.

 

I have had one issue since I do not know when (VR driver only): some classes have weird "not-smooth" camera. It is difficult to explain: like if the camera was jumping step by step, it is not smooth. Especially open wheelers do this to me, and I noticed the more modern car, the worse this issue is. For example Retro Gen 1 are perfectly smooth while BT52 is almost unplayable for me because of this: it nauseates me. It is not system fps issue, everything is always rock stable 90Hz (Varjo Aero).

 

Are you sure you have all bottom three set to 0 ? Look to apex and both leaning options, i had a similar issue with the camera if i had those anything other than 0.

 

Yes (also "show helmet" is 0: I see no reason to limit my view furthermore with this option on when the hmd itself has lower FOV than certified racing helmets).
I have head movement at 100 though, anything lower nauseates me. But even with 0 the effect is the same, the image just jumps. The feeling is similar like driving a GT1 or something stiff like that over Sebring. And the effect is the worst in turns, it feels like the car is making microslides. Slide, grip, slide, grip, slide grip... and everything bounces.

 

Has anyone had this intermittent performance issue where the game in VR will stutter baaaaad, and sometimes blackout the screen? It started happening to me about 2 days before v1.5.6.3 dropped. And it's plaguing me ever since.

The performance is flawless otherwise. And has been for as long as I've used AMS2
