VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

I had that for a while, now it seems to be working ok, I have no idea why it did that.
I have steamvr beta and wmr lkg.
Have you got the vr settings file set to auto?

 

I had a fps cut this last weekend after Monza was released. Haven't been home yet to see if the updates fixed anything. I also had a Windows update, and installed the new Nividia drivers. So need time to investigate. I forgot to debloat my windows after the update also. I can report back this weekend if I find anything

 

You mean steamvr.vrsettings file. cant see an 'auto' setting?

 

It's this file, remove the two forward slashes to activate it. Word is that you can do it in steamvr but that never worked for me.

 

Thanks Alegunner. Modified this default.vrsettings file in the Steam>steamapps>common>MixedRealityVRDriver>resources>settings folder. Was set to 'none', which is not in your file. I commented it out and now setting motion smoothing in SteamVR settings works fine.
BTW like your comment about settings in your signature. I am getting some good racing in between chasing issues like this

 

Hallo,

I´m having a weird problem while racing with my Reverb G2. While driving the Formula Ultimate, a artificial rearview mirror appears in the car. When I drive on fx Spa through the Eau Rouge corner, I actually need to physically duck my head to be able to see the corner.
I´ve tried to disable both the regular and enhanced rearview mirror but nothing has helped.
Hope any1 has a fix since it´s very disturbing and can be game breaking on tracks with elevation changes

 

I wrote up my current G2 settings for 90fps play earlier if it’s any use for anyone - AMS VR G2 Settings

 

Thanks for the write up.

Step one: have a 5950x + 3090.

Just kidding. It’ll scale down to my purposes of course, so very useful. They’re just some hefty specs right there!

 

Do you mean the rear view mirror in the HUD? Can be turned off in HUD settings under options in pause menu

 

Hi, I'm new here and new on AMS2, great sim and fantastic in VR (I use a reverb G2 ince march 2021).
You use steam SS at 120 ?? this is too much, why not native resolution SS 50% ? This mean a res about 5k, 2160x2160 per eye Most details are on high in AMS2. the shadows looking stuttery, not to clear in AMS2, but only the shadows are not the best here.
But I will try your settings in steam and AMS2 and test, good manual, thanks.
I test all this too the last month for rFactor2 and I found good settings
The grafix is fantastic in AMS2, great fun in VR

 

What you think in VR about the up and down driving ? on Nordschleife NOS is seems to be extreme up and down, it feels much more steep as in rFactor 2 on the NOS. Is this perhaps fix on the AMS2 PC2 engine?

 

With my Oculus Rift, I am using AMS2 through my Oculus application. I see some use it through Steam VR. What is the difference and how can I use Steam VR. It always automatically goes through Oculus. THX.

 

For a Oculus Device you always should prefer the "Oculus SDK" / Oculus API. SteamVR will waste performance as every command has to be transfered to the Oculus SDK. So, nothing wrong for you, using that.

SteamVR is for WMR Devices, as they directly can utilize that without translation.

 

Would your specs be comparable to mine? You think buying a G2 would be a waste of money without upgrading my specs? Thx

 

I had an RTX 2060 with an I5 4670 3.2Ghz, It worked fine.. definitely worth the upgrade.

 

Did not yet take more time to examine the performance in AMS2, but maybe your CPU / RAM could be a bottleneck. I would not expect a fluid performance with 90 fps / hz all the time. Might work okay with motion smoothing, but that's something I can't live with.

 

Now iam confused . Steve Youngs reply is intersting to me, since his machine is similar to mine I guess. Still thinking of ordering a G2 but not so sure if my machine will be sufficient.

 

G2 Folks - I need your help to test an all-round setting I’ve just lucked out on which gets me 90fps in day/dry and flips and holds 45fps reprojection in wet and miraculously seems to have cured the multiple headlights in the rear mirror issue that kills frames.

Perhaps backup your AMS2 settings folder first, but I’m hoping (after months of tuning!) that this may be onto something in fixing the jankiness between SteamVR and WMR.

Anyone using Varjo headsets with AMS2 and can confirm that it works? (I'll probably have more success asking on their Discord, but it doesn't hurt to ask here)

Yesterday they announced their new Aero consumer-level headset. FOV is not much to write home about, but everything else seems perfect for sim racing.

Cool to see Varjo doing a consumer grade headset, I had hoped they would go this direction for a long time but holy **** that is an eye watering price...
