VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

This Oculus Killer thing sounds interesting.

Just one question, that's important for me: If i do that, will Oculus' Asynchronous Spacewarp still work? There are a few games i cannot play without it because they're very cpu limited (Euro Truck Simulator 2 for example) and the SteamVR replacement is imho a lot worse than ASW.

 

I can't tell you with 100 percent certainty as I very deliberately turn mine off. but I *think* so (?)

The reason I think that is because dynamic bitrate from the debug tool DEFINITELY works, as when I first reinstalled everything, I couldn't understand why everything looked so 'muddy'.

It took me a while to remember that I hadn't increased the bitrate in the debug tool, so I went in and cranked it up and the overall quality improved exactly as expected and as it used to be.

So that certainly indicates that the Oculus killer tool doesn't disable the debug tool?

In fact, now that you say that, I may try activating A-Synch spacewarp later myself, as although I'm getting a steady 90fps for most uses, it did take an absolute hammering at the new Daytona track (totally dropped to 45fps at that circuit) so I might see if A-synch Spacewarp gets me around that particular issue?

 

smpearce22, firstly thank you for taking the time to reply to this thread!

I have had the issue of not being able to launch into the SteamVR branch on AMS2 for as long as i can remember. The reason for wanting to do this is so i can use OpenXR toolkit to add either NIS or FSR upscaling to help with performance.

I can confirm the Oculuskiller program you linked indeed works perfectly on my RiftS and i can now launch through OpenXR and access the OpenXR toolkit HUD. What a result!!

Thank You!

 

Aww bud! I'm just glad not to be bowling in here and throwing in ideas and solutions that were tried and tested months ago and were long since thrown on the scrap pile!?

So, you are VERY welcome, I'm just really glad it's helped.

Enjoy, bud!

 

Usually i turn ASW off as well, just for ETS2/ATS i need to turn it on, otherwise the game will accelerate/decelerate randomly when ever the framerate goes below 80 (Rift S).

Anyway, i tried that Oculus Killer thing, but all i get is a black screen (did the stuff in the installation and trouble shooting instructions, but it didn't help). I'll test a bit more tomorrow since i'm not really happy with my Oculus performance in AMS 2 (microstutter on certain tracks, even on lowest settings).

 

On online races in AMS2 I often (approx once per race) have a freeze of about 0.5 seconds where everything is frozen in my headset but sound continues, it is not much but it can be quite disastrous depending on when it happens. I don't get this on my other VR games. Does anyone else have this? Quest 2 via virtual desktop

 

I bet this will help VR NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series grafische kaarten

 

Haven't had that for a long time, but used to get that on Rift S. Don't 100% know what resolved it, but ran sfc /scannow and reduced cpu clocks and gpu overclock and seem to be all good now

Yeah, it's released, and working with iRacing. More incentive for me to try and get OpenXR working for AMS2

 

I saw no gains by using OPEN XR tool kit in AMS2. But massive ones in Iracing, AC and MSFS 2020. not sure why and curious to know what other people are experiencing.

 

I think it is because Isn t the same graphic engine.

However, with my 1080ti I see an gain in fps with openVR

 

This is a know issue we have documented in an another thread.
On MP ranked there is a clear pattern when a.crash occurs or when Someone leave or resign.
On other setups Isn t full clear what is the pattern, even I ve Seen this happening sometimes when I hit wall on TT or when a crash occur with AI during offline race

Again what I ve observed with FPSVR is the GPU or CPU goes to idle when the freeze occurs

 

Hi, I found out that when you define your virtual VR playspace (chaperone) you can put a virtual desk in your playarea. I did that and now it shows up when I play Automobilista 2 in VR (because I'm using this desk in real life), which is annoying/distracting. I have Oculus Quest 2 via Link cable connected to my PC.
Any suggestions how you use and have set up the virtual boundaries (chaperone)?
Best thing IMHO would be if those virtual lines would only come up for roomscale or standing games and they should automatically be turned off for seated games like in simracing. Or it would be nice if we could at least make profiles to turn them off for specific games at least.
Any ideas/hints how you set up your VR boundaries (chaperone)? Of course it's only relevant if you use your VR headset not only for simracing ;-)
I don't want to "draw" the boundaries new each time before I play an other VR game. And I'm not sure if it's the SteamVR chaperone or the Oculus chaperone which shows up?!

 

@Mike1304 You could try switching Oculus guardian mode to stationary when sim racing

 

Anybody tried VR AMS2 with 4090 yet?

 

Yes. Been using it since yesterday.

 

... ... ... and? ... ... ... would you be so kind and tell us about your experience with the new card? ... ... P L E A S E ... ...

 

Sure, it's every bit as good as the reviews claim. I basically tested my "clear weather" 3080Ti VR settings in a night race with Thunder storms at Long beach. Which I think is one of the hardest tracks to render in VR. Started middle of the pack so I would have headlights both in front and behind me, with rain and lightning and the game ran butter smooth.

With the 3080Ti I usually would have to drop SS by about 40% to get smooth frame rates in these conditions. Held 90fps in the G2 throughout the entire race without a hiccup. It truly was amazing, everything looked clear and sharp and ran stutter free. A quick glance at the GPU usage in the taskmanager showed about 90% utilization in those conditions. fpsVR showed a max of 10ms max at times. This thing is a raster monster. It is the 1st time I've actually been happy about a GPU upgrade where I felt I didn't have to compromise in VR.

I am running the SteamVR open FSR mod and global supersampling set to 90% in SteamVR. I think the days of dropping graphics settings for night and rain races might finally be over.

 

Sounds good. And your CPU doesn’t bottleneck against this GPU monster?
Isn’t AMS2 a very CPU intensive game?
