VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

It's also worth clearing your environment data every now and again, and then set it up again in the mixed reality portal.

 

(oops wrong thread)

 

Prior to v1.4 I was using the files from PCars 1, but I no longer do that. When v1.4 came out, I did a clean install and took the time to play with settings and optimize the real Automobilista 2 files. No more PCars 1 files in use.

Here's what I use, and it looks good to me and runs smoothly. But I'm no computer expert. I don't even know if these settings make sense. But they work well.

Oculus Software/Devices

Prioritize Quality

=====

Oculus Debug Tool

In the Support folder in your Oculus software installation, in "oculus-diagnostics" you'll find "OculusDebugTool.exe". Right click on it and send to desktop (create shortcut). You don't want to have to dig for it every time. You can rename the shortcut to anything you want. The Oculus Debug Tool must remain running while you play to have any effect. Just minimize it when you have your settings in.

Pixels Per Display Pixel Override 1.4 (I played with this, I can go as high as 2.0, but I don't see much difference beyond 1.4, so try it and see what you think it should be).

So there you have it. Like I said, I'm no computer expert. So if anyone has any suggestions as to improving on that, I'm listening. All I know is that those settings look good to me and run smoothly.

 

Thank you so much for this. I will try these settings out and I will let you know how I got on.

Many thanks again

 

My pleasure. I hope that everything works out well.

 

So I keep coming back to this after every update and ALWAYS reminded of why i don't bother playing this anymore.

The Oculus VR Hud elements stuck on the right side of the screen is STILL there since release. Will it ever be fixed or a work around that doesn't involve getting a monitor that can do more than 1080p.

Do the developers even acknowledge this bug at all? If its unfixable then just say so or can someone point me in the right direct where the developers say this is unfixable.

I'm at my wits end.

I'm running i9, 2080Ti & 32Mb and RiftS

 

I use quest2 but don’t use any HUD stuff at all
Try getting use to it turned off ? More realistic , use CrewChief with voice commands so much better

 

Not sure know what you call oculus hud element but I dont recall have specific oculus hud stuff.
With my today G2 I ve moved the Various AMS2 hud elements and it is Much Much beter

You can look at this discussion if it fix your complain
VR and HUD
Cheers

 

That works just fine in the headset and I have no problem with it.

I stream to twitch and I grab my monitor screen and stream that. But on the RiftS natively some of the HUD elements can’t be moved if they are on the right side bottom side of the screen. The HUD elements are HUGE almost like it’s a different resolution to the rest of the game.

For a short time I could run though steamVR and the hud elements could be grabbed and moved and the resolution of the HUD and the game was the same. Now for some reason I can’t run AMS2 though steamVR. Whenever I do oculus takes over while loading the sim and steamVR just shows the loading icon and continues playing on flat screen.

 

1. Launch Oculus software.
2. Launch Steam.
3. Click green, "Play" button on AMS2 menu page.
4. Select, "Play in SteamVR Mode".

Hopefully, that will keep Oculus from grabbing it. If you launch from a shortcut without launching the Oculus software first and then launching the game through the Steam interface, Oculus will pick it off every time.

 

couldn't sleep so tried at 0600am and SteamVR doesn't kick in at all just loads up and straight into Oculus mode even though I've selected to start in SteamVR mode. Almost like the SteamVR Mode button doesn't work on not linked to SteamVR

Completely uninstalled Steam, SteamVR & AMS2, rebooted and only installed Steam, SteamVR and AMS2. Same results

 

Has AMS2 put on weight since this last update?
i seem to get less fps (especially when its overcast)and multiplayer seems to take longer to load..

 

Yeah on my end I had the same perception, others were complaining too (VR and non VR). We were racing at Suzuka (Kansai GP) though so might be track optimization as well.

Ps jut spotted this GM video where apparently the framerate is set incorrectly in the graphics files, would this be applicable to the 'graphicssettingoculusdx11' file too I wonder? I'm running 80hz on my Quest 2 and it shows refresh_num="60000" which aligns with 60fps?

 

No - the 60Hz is the refresh rate for what it's showing on your monitor. You oculus software will take care of the refresh rate for the headset.

 

Cheers!

 

Same observation on my END. Overcast is giving more frame rate loss than before(VR). Before it was barelly noticeable, now it is more obvious

 

yes same fore me.. I used to be able 90 fps with over 10 cars at Cascais 8am clear weather ( leading to sunrise and light fog)... not possible anymore... have to go down to 7 cars

 

No change in fps for me, butter smooth 90fps for at least 25 cars.

However there is an issue with the new spa 2022 time trial and only time trial. It stutters like crazy and never reaches 90fps. When racing against AI it is smooth, but time trial is s mess. The 2020 layout is fine.

 

Hi guys, i'm playing on a Quest 2, 3060Ti and a Ryzen 3600. I'm wondering if upgrading my processor to a Ryzen 5700x is worth it or not. CPU matters how much in VR games?

 

There is a Nice small tools to see your ratio GPU vs CPU with your own reality . On my side I realized my CPU was the bottleneck compare to my GPU usage.
This is also very usefull to tweak your graphic option one by one and see the impact to maximise your setup
