Strange VR frame rate behaviour
Just posted to the reddit as well but figure its a big enough bug to post here too: I have micro stutters and performance issues at 90hz on VR headset that aren't there at 120hz. There are no changes to the graphics levels (medium) between framerates and I'm using reprojection. There are stutters at 90hz and its butter smooth at 120hz. I'd like to bump the graphics up and run at 90hz if the stutters are fixed. I've found that if I slow down during the stage to a stop then the micro stutters disappear for the rest of the level. Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this or experience this before?

NATIVE OPENXR SUPPORT
Good day E.A. It has been some time since my last unanswered question, among many others, who are getting an E.A unanswers for this particular question. Would you please take 5 seconds out of your busy schedule to confirm whether there will be native support for openXR hmds? This question has been circulating since the game was released. I have no idea why you blocked the openxr.dll, though whatever the reason it will never be good enough for those with openxr hmds. At the very least put us out of our misery! Please upvote this thread, maybe then it will get some well-deserved attention. Your truly in good faith. Concerned openxr hmd consumer....
Working setting VR with openxr toolkit installed for other game and with dlss
https://youtu.be/N5WjSkpYkF0 Hello see how I can use wrc vr... if it can help you... On my own, I think I'll stay on on my G9 now because it's not really funny... Maybe when EA Sport do it better as other game.... iracing,... I'm on HP Reverb G2 and game buy on EA Sport, so, don't use Steam to launch. Without dlss, as they said is not playable for me, too low fps... even low graphic setting... So here is my setting with upscaling dlss... and good fps (even low because OBS was working on same time) 2 stages showed on video for exemple / tarmac and dirt ps : sorry for my poor english lol
OpenXR motion compensation not working
I'm using a motion platform controlled by SimHub, which incorporates motion compensation from an OpenXR API layer. Enabling this layer crashes the game to desktop before it starts. Everything else works, only the OpenXR motion compensation layer doesn't. It's an OpenXR API layer, which works flawlessly in all other titles I've tried it in, so this could likely be an issue with the OpenXR-implementation of WRC. Is the game compatible with OpenXR API layers? Using a Meta Quest 2.
VR still does not work with Reverb G2 in new Patch
I expected the latest patch to fix proper OpenXR (without SteamVR) for WMR headsets but it appears to still be broken. This whole game has been a scam that I can't even get a refund for. Bought it for the announced VR support and played on deck to tie me over and now VR doesn't work for months and it doesn't even work on Steam Deck anymore either. can't even get a refund for this unplayable pile of junk.
VR Updates
Hey EA, Are you done with updating VR? It certainly feels that way to me. If not, when will we get the next update and what are you planning on fixing? FYI HP Reverb user, I played most of this game with UEVR and then with your 1st attempt with VR but after that, hardly ever as it's basically unplayable. Now almost a year later and still we're waiting for a proper fix for a good part of the vr community. At the very least give us an update that allows us to use the 1st version if we choose to, when it worked ok or ever allow us to us UEVR so we can at least play the game in VR.
Tried reinstalling today.
After a fresh game install, applied the recommended fixes for VR, set my OpenXR to SteamVR. The game launches, switches the view to cockpit and the application stops responding. I used to be able to play correctly a bit after launch, not anymore. PC Specs: VR : HP Reverb G2, Win11 23h2, i7 13700KF, RTX 3080, 32GB RAM
Native HMD OpenXR
For owners of headsets from Varjo, Pimax, HP and possibly others too their native OpenXR runtimes are not working correctly. Currently the only way for us to get the game running is by switching runtimes and this is sub-optimal for performance. For me using a Pimax Crystal this can result in up to a 20% loss in performance. This also requires a dance of option changes between the different apps I run just to get WRC working and to get everything reset after use. What I would hope is for OpenXR to not be specific to just Steam and Meta. Everything else I run that is OpenXR based works as expected with all OXR runtimes and layers. For what it's worth here are my findings trying to use the native runtime for the Pimax Crystal: The game will start and menus etc in the floating theater show correctly, this actually runs 90fps compared to Steams XR which can be around 70fps and stuttery in this mode, native is far better for these theater modes. When a stage is started the hmd will switch into stereo 3D BUT will flicker between eyes and not react to head position movement with what looks like a window within a window.VR is now Surprisingly Good !
I was really disappointed in the VR after patch 1.9 however since the most recent 2.1 patch and with some brilliant recent Engine.ini tweaks I found on reddit it is actually really good, maybe not 100% great but imho pretty darn close. For reference Quest 3 via powered Link cable on 4080S gpu with 7800X3D cpu. Also, the physics & motion feels noticibly improved and I can say I think it is now all around a somewhat better experience than Dirt Rally 2 which I still love (& the original ). Great work & congrats to the devs as it inspired me to buy the Season 24 Expansion. Cheers 👍🤠 Hope this is okay to link, the engine.ini from 22 Oct '24 that has transformed the gfx in vr for me. Contrary to the reddit tweaks, I find the regular temporal upscaler gets better fps than DLSS and also have most ingame settings on ultra with AA on medium & postprocessing ultralow. My Q3 res is on 2nd highest at 80hz. It looks great in vr with no hitches or slowdowns. www.reddit.com/r/EASPORTSWRC/s/zUfoM0Z70A update :- the file above has been updated and now DLSS on Auto is actually much better but requires nvidia gpu. amd gpu can use FSR
Position into the car - VR mode
Hello, I have a question because I can no longer position myself correctly into the car when I use VR mode. I'll try to explain as best I can ... Before, when I got into the car, I adjusted my position by physically moving my playseat and the camera didn't follow me, so I could position myself and validate exactly as I wished. Since yesterday, when I want to do the same thing, the camera always "follows me", i.e. whatever the physical position of my seat, I'm in the same place in the vehicle. I can't, for example, move closer to the steering wheel. It's as if the camera were following me all the time now. I hope that's clear ...I haven't edited any options for a long time. Do you have any idea how to solve this? Thanks for any idea you may have! (@Sokittoya76A maybe you have an idea to solve that, as I see that you have spent a lot of time on the VR setup!)
Black screen in VR mode
Hi everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with WRC EA in VR mode. After launching the game and confirming I want VR mode, the screen goes black in my Quest 3 headset. Here's what I’ve tried so far: Used both Oculus Link (Air Link and Cable) and Virtual Desktop, with and without SteamVR – the same black screen issue occurs. Tested with different drivers for my video card (RTX 4080 Super). Updated all related software (SteamVR, Oculus software, and Virtual Desktop). Verified the game files through Steam. My PC specs: GPU: RTX 4080 Super VR Headset: Oculus Quest 3 Other VR games work perfectly with my setup. Has anyone else faced this issue with WRC EA in VR mode? Any advice or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!Proper VR Update
Hp reverb G2.....Will we ever get a proper vr update at this point? It would be nice if there were some regular dev updates on the matter, keeping us informed or have I missed something? It's been more than a year and I'm getting tired of the checking and the continued waiting game. I enjoyed the game for a short time when the vr worked ok.....But that was a long time ago it seems. Since then it's been nothing but a bunch of frustrating disappointments!Custom Egine.ini for vr
Custom Engine.ini for vr. I have a 4090 so adjust parameters for your system. This is my personal Pref after 380 something hrs in this game. I have adjusted the draw distance on trees etc so there is good detail around the track still without needing too much clutter in the distance cause let's be honest, who has time to take in the scenery when you on the limit! :D Feel free to tinker and give feedback if possible. Hope this helps someone. Just copy paste contents into an open instance of engine.ini located @ users//appdata/local/wrc/saved/config/windowsnoeditor. Don't forget to save. https://pastebin.com/e8mUXgE2 In game parameters foveated 1x dlss balanced shadows and shaders high Fog off Crowd, post proc, weather, mirrors, skiddies all off or low medium object med particles ultra track, textures high trees and shrubbery 😉Not running as it should in VR
I'm having a problem in WRC and playing in VR. I have a really good setup comprising of an AM5 Ryzen 9 processor, RTX 4080 superoverclock, 128GB DDR5 memory and running from M.2 SSD. I find that no matter what settings I choose, my HTC Vive Pro 2 just stutters. It's mainly during loading, which tends to hurt my eyes as the displays become unbalanced but I do have a brurred line across the screen when racing. With my current setup I should be able to max out all my settings on any game but I am really struggling to get WRC to run good in VR. I haven't tried the 2D version as I am not interested in that. All the F1 titles run seamlessly, even when all settings are maxed out. I'd really like to figure out what is going on with this so I can continue playing. Thanks in advance
