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 a third party developer bolted on the VR implementation last year. It was definitely the worst vr racing experience on the market. The head tracking delay that made you nauseous and many things in game weren’t even rendered in 3d. It was a complete hack job and they not only did they not try to fix it, they gaslighted everyone by acting like it didn’t even exist.
I spent over 2 hours trying different settings to fix it because I refused to believe that they would sell something so bad. After 2 hours Steam won’t let you refund it so I was stuck with it. Codemasters, EA and Steam successfully lifted $89 from me but it was partially my fault for letting it happen. I won’t fall for it again.
At some point fairly soon after release, a trusted VR player will report if it’s been fixed.

@Ultrasonic_77let's imagine that instead of that vague useless line they said "fixed head tracking lag and stutter present when fps is below headset refresh rate" then OP and I and other VR players would maybe consider buying it. I'm going to make the bold prediction that it's not fixed. It's ok I love iRacing and would rather support that company instead of EA / Codemasters.
Errr, not sure if you missed that my post was from over a month ago? No need for 'bold predictions' now either since the game is out. Sadly this is in the 'not fixed' category by all reports.
F123 didnt fix the problem
EA released a game with a main feature crippled by incompetence? Then they left it that way for a year and didn't fix it for their annual DLC release??
I'm shocked.
EA, I'm getting up there in age, and you continue to disappoint me decade after decade. I am the one who blasted the boards demanding VR, then you release it broken. You are either too inept to find a fix, or you're actually trolling the people that matter. A mouth breather couldn't tell the difference from input lag, to frame time inconsistencies, so don't give us that trash about "it's subjective". Maybe I put my money where my mouth is and hire a lawyer to contact F1/Liberty Media about your mishandling of this franchise?
EA, FIX THE G** D*** VR HEAD TRACKING!!!!
What do you expect from garbage, blurry, stuttered, 20 years old engine.
I think there's an important distinction to be made between testing to find there's a problem and then being able to rectify it. Beta tests and I'm sure internal testing have no difficulty doing the former.
