Extreme Lag after Dying in VR on Fleet Battles

Question

Product: Star Wars: SquadronsPlatform:Steam-PCPlease specify your platform model. PCWhat is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? AsianAviatorAre you playing in VR? YesWhich VR Platform are you using? Oculus RiftWhich part of the game is the issue happening in? Fleet BattlesWhat were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. DyingWhere did this issue occur? Please include menu name or in game location. Right after dying, during the rendition of the kill cam, and persisting through the spawn menu and respawn. When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 10.09.20 15:00How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)How severe is your issue? Can't playWhat happens when the bug occurs? The game becomes unplayable and system memory usage spikes.What do you expect to see? Visual glitches, very twitchy head tracking, extreme lag. Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." All of themWhat components were you using? N/AWhich customizations (if any) were you using? N/A ‌Upon death in fleet battles using an Oculus Rift CV1, the game performance severely degrades and the entire system is affected. Before the start of the kill cam rendition, everything slows down and becomes laggy and extremely choppy. The game becomes unplayable. When observing task manager during this occurrence, system memory spikes up when this bug happens. This system slowdown is also reflected through Discord, where users report hearing very choppy and robot-like sounds coming from my microphone when I try to speak. Alt-tabbing out of the game and alt-tabbing back in removes the lag. This bug is able to be replicated, as when I die after fixing it, the entire system lags again. This bug happens every time I die during fleet battles. The game runs fine and this bug does not occur when playing or dying in dogfights.Hardware:&nbsp;i7-10750H, GTX 2060, 16GB RAM, Oculus Rift CV1, Logitech X52 Pro HOTAS

Yup me too. I feel a little better knowing that I’m not alone but this sucks nonetheless . Some people seem to be playing just fine, but I get crazy lag in fleet battles, not in the other modes.

I feel like it has something to do with rendering all the chaos, but I can find a remedy for it when all of my settings are practically at their lowest. I feel like the oculus might be out of sync with the refresh rate. I have no clue.

@AsianAviatorSame issue. Also using Oculus and playing with Steam. As a temporary fix, tabbing in and out seems to ameliorate it sometimes.

Also happens during the victory/defeat scoreboard with the pilots after a game, in all modes not just fleet battles

@AsianAviator Also running into this same issue, even after the new update.

Also worth noting that I encountered the same bug multiple times in the last level of the single-player campaign after dying and reverting to the last checkpoint, the game simply became unplayable.

Didn't encounter it playing the rest of the campaign in recent weeks, but post-update and playing today the issue was consistent.

Got the same issue with my Rift S.

@AsianAviator Also happens to me on RTX1070 with Quest 2 and Oculus Link, running through Origin (no Steam).

It doesn't happen on every death, and I'd say it happens more often if I purposefully dock with the flagship to change ships... it might happen more if I do so during a phase change in the map.
