VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

In case it's useful, I just deleted my whole AMS2 directory (I reinstalled Windows recently but I kept my save game folders), and I played a whole race without VD hanging. Mostly left the settings at default, so I'm going to start upping them one by one and see if anything causes the Virtual Desktop hangs again.

 

I recently, I believe since the last updates to the Beta and the Release update this week, lost the ability to run Open Xr on the release candidate. It works fine on the Beta but refuses to load past the opening screen on the Release candidate. I have tried all the different versions of Open Vr api that I have and the version I run on AC. RF2 etc a work fine on the Beta just not the release. This has never been the case before now. I am confused. Only the standard Steam VR API is working on the Release at the moment. I have verified the files and all is good.

 

If you verified the files you may have removed the Oculus Bypass Detector and need to reinstall it.

 

I tried the PSVR2 eye-tracking mod with OpenXR Toolkit. Eye tracking worked in the test app but AMS2 did not launch in OpenXR mode. Apparently it works in iRacing. I'll try that next. Maybe needs native OpenXR app rather than through Open Composite?

 

Thanks Dryheat94 I had forgotten about the bypass file but I checked and it is still in both the beta and release folders so not sure what is problem. I will recopy to release in case of corruption/

 

I played a bunch yesterday and yeah it seems my Virtual Desktop issues have been fixed by deleting the settings directory in full.

 

I would test to be sure release is still working as expected, but I only have the beta installed.

I'm sure you'll figure it out. Good luck!

 

So far no luck , not even error messages , weird. release runs fine in steam vr with a slight hit in perf compared to Beta in Open XR but otherwise all is good . II see no obvious differences in files. I could remove mods or try a reinstall as a last resort. or just leave it as is, not earth shattering differences performance wise/

 

Just curious... after you did the file verify, did you replace the openvr_api.dll with the OC one again, as the file verify would have overwritten it with the original. Beyond making sure the 2 dll's are correct there isn't much more to do, other than as you say, removing mods.

 

Found the problem , reshade was barking on the monitor screen but not in vr view and was gone as soon as loading screen was gone in vr so I did not see it. Uninstalled reshade. likely just needed an update but not bothering with it for now

 

Glad to see you found the gremlin!

 

yes many times with every version I have to test with for compatibility

 

Thanks Dryheat94 it was annoying for sure

 

Hello.
Which of all the graphic settings hurts performance the most?

I have a 5090 and a 7800X3D, but I play with the Pimax Crystal which has very high resolution, and in rain I sometimes get small issues.
What graphic settings can I turn down to avoid these problems?

Thanks.

 

From my tests, Anti-Alliasing above Medium is expensive, then Car Detail which actually does not reduce the overall detail, but at what DISTANCE the car detail gets lower/higher, and then finally shadow quality/resolution.
