VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

Looking to see if anyone has any ideas to help me…… fired up AMS2 today for 1st time in a week and when I put my oculus rift s on the headset remains black. It says it’s connected and the small white light is on, I checked it was paired with controllers and it paired fine. I also unplugged usb and other cable from pc and headset and re fitted but still headset remains black

any ideas I should try before resetting pc?

thanks in advance

I'm having the same issue with my G2 since the last update. Still haven't figured out what's causing it though.

 

Can any of you with a Varjo Aero share a little bit of what you're doing for setup? I am trying to balance PPD versus MSAA and not having much luck.

I prefer MSAA on "high" since it really smooths out the shimmer and distance view, but then I am limited to 35 PPD and still lose FPS in rain/dark. I can get 39 PPD and 90 FPS ... as long as I turn MSAA off, which then makes fences and the such look craptastic.

I am using OpenXR but really only for post processing (to fix colors in AMS2); Foveated rendering only works with MSAA off (for me) otherwise I see crazy jaggies at the edge of the center ring, and I prefer to ** not ** upscale since the Aero should not need it.

Any insight is welcome. Thanks!

 

Here is the setting I'm using with my Varjo Aero and I'm pretty happy with the visual results.
In games MSAA to low, can probably run medium but it looks good enough.
Aero set to 35PPD default in VB.
OpenXR runtime with CAS sharpening turned ON. FSR and NIS upscaling with the Aero looks horrible.
Foveated Rendering turned OFF.
The game looks amazing to me and can still hold 90fps during night time races.

 

I'm suspecting one slider/option. Good to know it's not only a Quest 2 issue.
I haven't had time to do it yet, but my plan is to delete the graphics and VR.xml files from 'my documents' so everything is reset and test every ingame option for performance/VR one by one preferably during a day/night transition at Suzuka with accelerated time. If you can find the time to try that out before me please do let me know if you find the culprit.

 

The new undertray sparks look very odd in VR and are quite disorientating / immersion breaking. Is there any way for VR users to turn them off?

 

Guys, can you see driver bodies in McLaren MP 4-4? I cannot see my body nor other drivers. It is just this very car.

 

I know that if you add skins to that car, this happens to it, and to all cars in its class. The same with the Lotus 98T and most likely all the other McLaren F1 cars added in this DLC.
I just hope Reiza fix this asap.

 

ah, that did not come on my mind... as the very car is not skinned. Thanks!

 

In the game, the markup and shadow textures disappear and appear in VR mode

Launch in the oculus environment.

PC Specification: Rizen 5600X + RTX 4080 + 32 DDR4 3800 + Win 11
VR: Oculus Quest 2 + USB 3.2 (2.6Gb speed)
Resolution: 5408*2736 (90Hz)
ODT: Adaptive GPU Performance Scale=off, PC Asynchronous Spacewarp = off
Encode bitrate = 960 Mbps
The HUD in the game shows that there is still a margin of 30-40 frames.

What has been tested:
1. Reinstall the graphics card drivers.
2. Install the previous version of the graphics card drivers.
3. Reinstall the game.
4. Reinstall the oculus software. Running the game with the default settings, without changing oculus debug.
5. Reduction of all graphical settings in the game to the minimum.

The problem in the game arose from about January 6-7 of this year. Up to this point, there were no problems.
There were experiments on installing various tools such as OpenXR tools kit, reshade.
All of this has been removed, and the game has been reinstalled.
The rest of the VR Games have no problems.

 

I recently bought a Pico 4 headset and a RTX 4080 and got it working in AMS2.
It works fine although the menus (text) are sharp, but the scenery is blurry.
The FPS were fine (at night in the rain, no stuttering).
So to resolve the unclear (blurry) image I tried OpenXR.
I’m still struggling with the keys to navigate and change the values (CTRL+F1, F2, F3).
I finally got it running, but….
Starting AMS2 it starts way below me. I have to look down at a 45 degree angle. The windows of AMS and the menu shows about 5m under me.
While racing I hover about 5m above the track.
In SteamVR I could recenter, but with OpenXR recentering doesn’t work.
Does anybody know how to solve this issue (in OpenXR)?

 

Can you not just bind a key to the VR recenter in camera controls (assignments section in AMS2 settings menu)?

 

When I am not ready ín the car, the position of my viewpoint is also too high (I have to look down to see the menu). But I will try.

 

Are we going to get practice sessions and adjustable weather and times in a championship mode?

 

I tried to change my viewpoint:

The text that says 'CTRL+DOWNN' is horizontally ahead. The menu is about 45 degrees downwards.

I couldn't go lower than this (this is the ín car position!, not the roof cam).

 

I recorded also this part and you can see me change the camera (and blow up the engine ).

Now is the question: Does anybody know how to solve the issue with the correct driver position?

 

You need to bind two buttons on your steering wheel. Start AMS2, go to Options, then Controls, then Edit Assignments. Now go to Camera & View. Bind Cycle Camera to button on your wheel & bind Centre VR Headset to a button on your wheel. I also bind seat forward, backward, up, down to a Dpad on my wheel. Now go into a test day, put on your headset when the car loads and press the Centre VR Headset button, now press the cycle camera button until your are in the cockpit view.

 

You can adjust the seating position to make it more comfortable using the Seat forward, back, up and down buttons. Suggest to bind these to a Dpad or pov button on your wheel if available.

 

As you can see, the menu is also way to low. So I would imagine that has to be another solution.

 

On my system I press the Centre VR Headset button that I have key binded to my wheel while on the menu screen and the menu will be centred.

Also, you DO NOT need to have the Open XR toolkit menu open to centre your view.
