F1 2023 VR head movement jitter/stutter bug fixed or not?

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...

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.

@Ultrasonic_77 Thank you for your reply.

"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."

No, improved says nothing at all. I only what to know if that specific bug is fixed. IF they state that "head movement is now smooth in VR", then it's solved, if they don't state that then it's not really saying anything. But it can be explained quite easy, because it's simply saying: the bug stuttering while moving your head in VR is fixed. Done. Then it's clear for all of us.

"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."

That's what I do. But I'm still excited for the news that the bug is fixed. I really want to get it on their agenda if it isn't already. So I didn't give up my hope. No need to be so pessimistic as @SteveJackson is here. I think that there is a serious chance that they fix it.

    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.

    @GuusHugo you won't be getting that answer until the pre-release marketing kicks in high gear.

    Probably not even before the review embargo ends up and reviewers give their verdict on VR.
    And I mean the proper review embargo, not the content creator previews that EA does as those seem heavy scrutinized and tight on what can be commented on and what is a no-go.

    And if this smoothing doesn't get a spotlight on the pre-release material, I wouldn't hold any hope of it being fixed.
    Red flags and XP Boost are getting buzz already. Hard to imagine they've got much better features or fixes in stock if those two are making into the bullet points.
