VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

Hey folks, I just started using Virtual desktop with the meta quest 3 because meta keeps messing up the link cable.
I placed the OpenComposite dll and replaced the default version and i am now using VDXR+OC and i think the performance difference may be huge. VD overlay has very low game render time and latency.
Only problem is the main menu kind of moves around when i turn my head but it is not a problem as soon as i start a race session. So only the main menu.
Any fix?

 

This happens when you crop the FOV with Virtual Desktop.
1. Either because you crop it twice, for example, with Virtual Desktop and OpenXRToolkit (this sometimes happens to me when I forget to reset it to default in Virtual Desktop).

2. Or it happens every time you crop the FOV with Virtual Desktop.

I was too lazy to test it and disable FOV cropping in OpenXRToolkit.

 

You mean in VR? So you play BF6 in VR??
We need HAGS on anyway to use frame generation in other games, right?

 

Yes, for frame generation with DLSS it is needed, but I hate frame gen. But with new driver and HAGS OFF, I can race now in the biggest benchmark madness with 20 cars on track, keeping 90 FPS : Sebring at MEDIUM settings and rain:

 

Hmmm. Maybe I‘ll try AMS2 with HAGS off too.
Don’t know why you hate frame generation though. For me it’s a game changer which doubles my framerate and still super fluid gameplay in many games. I know that many report stuttering or lags but fortunately not in my case…
Sad, that we can’t turn off HAGS only for specific games (for example in a profile)…

 

I've had "stuttering" in the past that seemingly has been fixed by turning HAGS off. However after turning HAGS back on a few months back to mess about in Cyberpunk 2077 I forgot to turn it back off again and the stuttering has been fine.

I tended to have what I'd call hitching, more like a single frame jump every now and again rather than a stuttering over multiple frames.

It's incredibly difficult to track down stuttering or "hitching" issues in VR. Half the time I'm guessing restarting windows is actually fixing the problem in the next session rather than the setting you've changed.

 

One of the recent changes I made to my PC may have improved the consistency and performance of my system. I too have found mixed results in regard to HAGS. Sometimes it's better in VR / HAGS on, sometimes better with it off. But more recently, I reduced the PCIe scheme (in BIOS) to Gen4 from Auto, and all games seem to be running smoother. It could be related to having multiple M.2 drives reducing GPU performance across the PCIe lanes.

 

Nice find, I've never known about this setting but will give it a shot to see if it helps cure the 'AI crashing performance drops' that I'm suffering with (although I think this is maybe CPU related).

 

I did this with my previous PC as well, that one had severe audio issues when using an add-in card or USB audio device. The Mobo audio was fine, though.

 

Yeah, I had a gen5 mobo but with gen4 riser cable and auto mode in bios gave me all sorts of issues including very long boot times. Manually set to gen4 a while ago and has been stable ever since

 

I could only set to Gen3 and didn't notice any discernible difference, I'll leave it on that setting for now but unfortunately the performance drops when an AI spins/crashes still happen

 

Another thing I've done to improve performance in AC Rally was to set an FPS limit in GPU app to 117 FPS / 120 Hz refresh-rate. That solved a latency issue with severe input-lag in ACR and also seems to have stabilized graphics performance in other titles (Where replays might stutter). Again, YMMV but, something to try? I also tested using 60Hz limited at 57FPS with good results.

 

With a Ryzen 7 5800X I can race with 19 AI and keep 120 FPS without drops when AI crash each other. Above, some drops happens. But remember to disable Pit Crew rendering.
