VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

ATT: VR USERS

EDIT: problem is most likely with my G2 - feel free to ignore - although if anyone with a G2 has had this problem and knows how to fix please let me know!!!

Hi all. I went in this morning for my daily dose of AMS2 goodness and after downloading the latest patch I find I am having problems with VR. Before I start changing anything anywhere I just want to see if its me or the sim. So... has anyone else had issues?

I've made a mock up of what I'm seeing (not a screenshot):



You can see my view is offset to the left by about a third of a screen and offset upwards by about a tenth of a screen. Restarting the sim or rebooting the pc has made no difference.

It was fine yesterday and I have touched no settings in-game or other software since so prime suspect for me is the sim update - which doesn't make it guilty but its the obvious place to start.

Anyone else have gremlins?

My specs are below.

UPDATE: the obvious thing to do next was check if other sims were the same or not (which I just thought of!!). Sadly RaceRoom was the same so methinks AMS2 is innocent and I have a problem with my G2. Sigh.

 

Thanks to the moderator for moving my above post here! I was coming to delete it cos it's solved but as it's been moved here I'll post the solution instead!!

Problem: HP REVERB G2 screen offset to left all of a sudden for no reason (I didn't touch it I swear!):



Solution:

 

I'm impressed with new NVIDIA driver. Got massive gains in FPS. Someone else?

 

What's your reference to say huge gain in FPS?

 

Obviously my FPS without any changes besides driver update.

To be more specific, can go from LOW to ULTRA in global ilumination/SSAO (I don't know why in settings it's named as "Reflections something" or something like, since PCARS 2) and from 1.3 to 1.5 supersampling - and have higher FPS than before update.

EDIT: I tested now with 72Hz and lowering SS to 1.3 and car details to LOW and can keep 72 FPS even with full grid of GT3gen2 thuderstorm in Daytona. First time with these settings. For sure a gain in low FPS drops from previous driver.

 

What driver version? What GPU do you have?

 

More recent driver. 4070 SUPER. Before, with same settings, FPS drops to 45-55 FPS a lot when cars headlights are on. Same settings now keep stable 72 FPS. Without headlights with 90Hz can keep stable going up almost everything at 1.5 SS.

Maybe the overclock of GPU by driver is better or other optimizations help me here. Can't find much info in release notes.

 

Do you use Nvidia app? The 1.5ss you have it set in game or meta quest debug tool?

 

SS in AMS2. But works the same way in debug tool.

 

As far as I know the ss for vr in ams2 does not do anything.

 

Wrong. But you need to verify If the settings was really saved in config file.

 

I never used the one in game because the option is not changeable and doesn't stick

 

I got rid of OneDrive and works here. Was really anyoing.

 

Try changing it in the proper file (depends on how you start VR) in the AMS2 docs folder, rather than changing it in game.

 

It work only on Oculus Glasses...

 

One nice thing in all this VR mess: Meta Quest Link 74.0.0.520.347 is working nice with HAGS on and game mode too, more fluid than with both OFF. At least in my RTX 4070 S.

Hope works for everybody. Years keeping HAGS off in VR with Quest 2, and game mode too.

 

Can we have cleaner glasses in the helmet? They are so dirty it's distracting! And some configurable sunglass-style setting would be nice as well at times. Those rays are beautiful but quite intense at times

I tried to find something in the menus but the only 'dirt' thing I found was not affecting the helmet.

 

Question to Quest2/3 players that play with link cable: is there a way to get back on the game if the device just momentarily lose the connection?

I am quite upset since I was having a blast, 1 hour race against the AI in Nurmburging 24h with time acceleration, fuel multipliers and so on, to sort of emulate the 24 hours race. The whole race was awesome, constantly overtaking and being overtaken (specially in the straights, since I was driving the Ginetta in GT4) and fighting around position 13 out of 39. Then, 10 minutes before the end, my image freezes! I am quick enough to press pause before losing the car, take out my Quest3 and see in the monitor that the game is ok, it was the Quest itself. This happened to me already before a couple of times, and I am honestly not really sure if it is always the cable that gets slightly unplugged due to some head movement or the software, because sometimes (like this time) when this happens it is not enough for me to just unplug and plug again the cable: the Quest does not detect the computer. I need to open task manager in my PC, shut down the Oculus app, turn on the Quest3, plug the cable and then it is detected. Anyway, I tried and tried to get it back to the game (which was still open in the PC, and perfectly manageable with mouse and so on) and I just couldn't. The Quest would just not open the game in VR... and that's why I am wondering, is this really a limitation that I need to restart the game when a disconnection like this happens? or is there some work around it?
Also, do you guys thing it is always the cable being disconnected or might as well be the software? In this case, for example, there was no head movement whatsoever when it happened. Also I do a sort of cable attachment to the traps themselves so that the USB connection does not suffer and to decrease the chances of something like this happening.

 

Does AMS2 have native image stabilization when it comes to it's VR rendering? I love AMS2 in VR and would love to record more of my gameplay in it, and I really like the UI spectator mode when I launch it in VR, so I've been capturing footage of it directly from the game rather than from an OpenVR Capture or Oculus Mirror capture. The problem is that my Oculus has image stabilization to make VR footage better to watch and without a lot of jitters.

If I capture AMS2 VR directly from the game, I fear this by passes the Image Stabilization from OBS or Oculus Mirror and the footage gets back to being a jittery mess to watch.

 

Anyone know how to fix the missing rain spray from cars in front since latest patch?
Running G2, tried rain/storm with high particles/ultra density and only a light mist from cars in front
