Question to the beta testers:
Is the stutter/jitter bug when moving your head in VR finally 100% fixed in F1 2023? So as smooth as in other race games like Automobilista 2, Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally 2 etc.? (so normal/how it should be while moving your head)
Or is VR unusable in F1 2023 again? (same as 2022)
Any feedback is welcome.

Nobody can answer that as the game hasn't been released yet.
I understood that there's a closed beta going on now? If it's not fixed in there, then it won't be fixed in the final too probably, since the bug was there since day one in F1 2022 and sadly enough it was never fixed. The game is still in an unplayable state for that reason in VR.
Or is this not true? Is there no closed beta going on yet?
Änd "Nobody can answer that" is not true. Codemasters/EA could also reply that they FIXED it, if they did. They can answer this question easilly of course.

Nobody who took part in the beta is allowed to post any information about it here, or elsewhere.

I'd suggest you'd want end-users to actually confirm this 🙂. EA didn't exactly say there was a problem with the first release did they...
Seriously, my advice would be for you to wait for the game to be released and then see what real-world feedback re. VR performance is like.
"EA didn't exactly say there was a problem with the first release did they..."
They didn't say anything about it, they simply IGNORED all the comments about it but there clearly is a problem with it, the head movement is simply never smooth, even with 90fps locked with 4ms frametime, a 4090, everything on low, it still jitters in corners. Every serious VR player knows that and the whole community told EA about so THEY KNOW IT.
So IF EA takes themselves seriously, then they will fix the issue of course. Their VR implementation of F1 22 was simply the worst of ALL sim racing titles, by far. Even much worse then ACC, with the 4090 I even got ACC running quite well.
Sad that they now use NDA's even with their beta testers.

This is not a new thing. The Codemasters beta tests were closed/private too.
Doesn't make it less sad. We as VR users all want to know if it's finally fixed or not... IF it's on their agenda this time or not at all.
Why so urgent? Since it's a break or make point for VR users. IF it's fixed, then I will buy F1 2023 and together with me many other VR racers, but if it's not fixed, then I won't buy it and together with my many VR racers too. I'm sure about that. It was the biggest disappointment in VR history.
The lack of communication about this subject is really hurting, this issue has been brought up so many times at the F1 2022 forums and they didn't even take the time for 1 minute to give an official statement about it. I really don't get why.
Their whole F1 2023 announcement is nonsense regarding VR now, because they also announced VR for F1 2022, but it was never usable.
Let's imagine that the the information given so far included a comment along the lines of 'improved VR performance'. You still wouldn't actually know if it was now in a state that you'd be happy with, would you? That's all I was saying above.
I would absolutely like better information across the board btw, not just in relation to VR. It's up to EA to choose to market the game however they wish though, and players can react as they see fit. Anyone who doesn't feel they have enough info. or confidence should not pre-order the game but rather wait to see what actually gets released.

I think you need to stop asking the question because it's totally subjective and totally down to your setup as to whether it's 'fixed'.
People post here daily with game crashes and issues that I can't replicate. The game is not broken, yet people cry that it is.
I suspect the VR implementation will be similar. It may well be functional on the test / dev kit. At this point, it's "fixed".
You will need to wait until release and query people with the same VR headset and similar PC spec to yourself as to what their experience of the VR implementation is.
You're carrying butthurt about something you bought into for F1 22. It wasn't up to scratch for you and it looks like it won't be fixed. Why are you even considering purchasing F1 23?
