F1 22 PC VR jittering, freezing screens and crashing

Same for me, started using the OpenXR version of the OpenComposite and loads perfectly, no more crashes and its much MUCH smoother!

@Pierrerino86 how do u guys open the game in VR after changing the dll? When I try to open the game through the EXE file it opens the 2D version of the game...

Steps:

- Download:
openvr_api.dll (64bit)

- Create a file named “opencomposite.ini”

- Then put the values:

supersampleRatio = 1.7 (You can change it)

- Save

- Run the game (Steam VR mode)

Important:

- Create a backup of the DLL file. If the change doesn’t work, just replace the file with the backup

I probably can't put links so here's the topic on Steam.

I made this tutorial because maybe it can help someone!

@brunomateliWrong. Don't use the supersampleratio in the ini, it's slower than using either oculus or wmr internal supersampling, at least for now.

But discard my comment from before (it was right at the time but no more) because if you use Open Composite now then performance is much much better (actually better than SteamVR) and you can also use dynamic resolution. 

Any hope of getting this to run smooth on Quest 2 without the insane amount of jittering. Everything looks great minus the constant head movements that makes it unplayable. I've tried turning everything to the lowest setting and that doesn't fix it.

Would be a simple fix to have the option to turn off head movement.

I've switched to OpenComposite OpenXR branch to bypass SteamVR and its been flawless..

1. Download the launcher
2. Run it and select F1 22 to use OpenComposite
3. Download the openvr_api.dll for x64 and rename your F1 22 version, and put this one in its place. Should be in your install location, such as \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\F1 22\
4. Run F1 22 from steam as you usually would. Did an entire race weekend last night and its far smoother than it ever has been before using Steam VR. 

For context, i'm running a 3070 and 5800X not OC'd with an Oculus Quest 2 via link cable.

I'm running in high VR settings and its beautiful!

tried latest version of OpenComposite with latest F1 22 update (1.07) and the jittering is still there.

@HamVRit's the same stuttering many others have described in this thread, severe stuttering when moving your head around at all times. it's not related to parked cores, and high performance energy settings don't resolve it

1.07 doesn't fix the 30 minutes crash issue. 

How the OpenComposite works?

Where I have to install the OpenXR files?

Where I have to put the launcher?

If I run the launcher I don't see any option to select F122 exe file. Only switch between steamvr and opencomposite. 

Thank you

@faldo79Rregarding the 30 minute crash did you try setting your texture streaming setting to low in game, as I've read earlier in the thread this fixed crashes for some users (I've alway had it low for performance reasons). I've not tried OpenXR method yet myself, so I can't comment on that.

@Stampede_251 oh OK. For reference for anyone else reading this who is getting intermittent freezes (and not the constant stutters when looking around) In my previous post I'm not referring to the standard Windows builtin 'Performance' setting you can select from the Windows Power Plan menu. You either have to make changes to your system registry or install 3rd party software to enable this power plan mode to prevent parked cores. This for me stopped intermittent VR freezes on an Intel 12900k on Windows 10.windows.

Running 3712x1872 in Oculus with 90Hz and have F1 set to the Medium VR settings, that's it really. I'll see if I can screen grab some footage.

**Edit, here's some footage

From which one do you speak? 

 I try all things to solve my problem.m I change the resoluitions, another api(composite), change ASW in the debugging menu and and and. I can`t count no more, how many work arounds and tips I tried out. Nothing helps for me. Nothing eliminates this jittering while using my Head. 

And I must apologize me but I'm not such a rich Men, like all the others here.  Unfortunately I can't afford an RTX3080 or 3090. Only a 2070 Super Gaming OC from Gigabyte and an Ryzen 7 3800x is my own. 

For me, it seems like the actually system requirements are an I9 XXX K and an 3080ti and 3090. I am very disappointed in the VR Mode. 

@HamVR I tried Thanks, it crashs anyway. 

Edit: Using medium graphics settings works OK. No Crashes. 

LOL, this thread has over 300 comments and now its slowed down because I think all us VR people have just given up. Clearly they have no interest in fixing it.

So, using Open Composite that bypass Steam VR I'm finally able to get stable 90 fps with everything setting on ultra or similar. But I've still got two problems:

1) Game still crashes after about 30 min, it doesn't matter if GPU and CPU are overclocked or factory specs, tried different video drivers etc...no way to play for more than 30 mins.

2) Using Open Composite OBS crash as it seems he needs SteamVr...

i have the same problem especially when car is parked. when driving its not so worse. but i suspect it has something

to do with ea coding and the usage of the "DirectX 11 performance" driver in f1 2022.

Since i had the same problem when starting the quest link control panel(white room) and found this post about it

and rolling back my gpu driver to version 22.5.1 solved the white room problem but it did not fix f1 2022 sadly so

it is about time for EA to do something about this. 

thx

@AlastreI tried running the game without using steamVR and it gave me the error message: f1 22 missing interface VRCompositor 027 and a unsuported device error code afterwards. Mind to enlighten me how you did this?

edit: 

managed to get the game running now, the game looks way better and more clear, world of a difference.

somehow it flipped the issue around for me, now when my head is not moving, the game doesnt jitter at all, but now when i move my head it has micro stutters/jitters.

Tried turning everything to low and leaving texture streaming to medium.

Is there a way that i can solve this issue to your knowledge or any one else's knowledge?

Or is it best to wait for ea/codies to fix the vr performance issues in a patch, because this game could be killer in vr, but the bad optimization really hinders the enjoyment factor
