I could manage only 70 FPS on VR Ultra-Low setting + 50% resolution on SteamVR. This is unplayable on VR. I can get 100+ FPS on iRacing.

I don't understand how whoever did the VR for this game, didn't realise oculus vr headsets shouldn't be using SteamVR to run their headsets.the headsets come with their own VR software for link. And it doesn't like sharing with SteamVR. AC, ACC, automobilista 1 and 2, Pcars 1 and 2, ETS2, ATS2, and so on and so on, none of them require SteamVR to play in VR on Oculus headsets.you can run both oculus software and steamVR on all of the above listed games, but they take performance hits if you do.having 2 different softwares trying to control one headset.. is just stupid.

Hello everyone, i have a pc with a 11900k and with a 3090ti. Ram 4400 cl 16I'v putted all max settings, exept few things on high, 120 fps all the time, with minimum upper than 100, taa + fidelity mode (i think it's the best by far)The card is at 85% with peaks of 95%Resolution is not so high, (i have very high res in oculus app, but i lowered it on steam settings, only to little more higher than oculus screen res, like 2000 x 2000 x eye +- (i don't remember exact value).THE KEY TO GET VERY HIGH FRAMRATE is to put the fov to 85% (it work only if you put it in steamVR settings, it won't work in oculus debug tool)Without the fov to 85%, i have to lower the game settings a lot, or i got 70 fps and when i move the head i got not few stutters, even with the 3090ti.You can decrease the fov even lower with slower cards, i start to notice it only from 80-75% or less, but i think it's subjective.The game is absolutely insane in VR, the graphics it's a lot lot better than acc, probably the best graphic i have seen in vr togheter with flight simulator, and the immersion is incredible, i can't wait to try next headsets with future graphics cards.But after some time you notice how much arcade is it... (yeah it's better than the past... but still too much symcade for me)Still, the immersion is so good i will play it for sure with friends, i just hope they fix the fact that you can play without first second and third gear lolAnd the fact that you can't put the screen in full screen while you are in vr... it sucks for the risk of the burn in on the tv, plz fix :\

@Grocs_Blech Thanks, man! I got the Virtual Desktop yesterday but I could only manage 35 FPS. I will review the settings and the 5ghz wifi.

Ok so here are my results after way too many hours of testing on a 3080/5800x Ahah. As many people in the forums have mentioned that subtle jittering sensation when moving your head/looking left and right (dirt 2.0 all over again) is present but not as horrible as day 1.Settings that won't change Oculus softwareDebug tool settingsF1 22 graphics - Running Medium preset As @Grocs_Blech has mentioned, ambient occlusion must be off and in Video settings, game AA on - TAA as this seems to always render the best performance regarding jitters.In F1 22, VR settings steam render res is staying at 100% and the bottom 3 settings (god rays, motion blur, and stencil) are all off.I will not be attempting to use SSW or ASW as I've personally gotten too used to 90hz native playing Iraicng and assetto Corsa.Our target is 90hz smooth gameplay which is achievable on all other popular sim racing titles 🙂Link cable oculus runtime results (Best performer **if it stops crashing**)I experience no real frame drops with the odd drop to 85 fps, this seems to be the most "jittering experience however the one with the most graphical fidelity.Most importantly using the link cable seems to promote steam VR crashes in random instances (can't really isolate the reason), hence the need to search for other solutions.Link cable Steam VR runtime results (Similar performance to oculus)This is very interesting, the frame drops are rare and only to 87fps with more jitter, However, link cable still seems to cause crashes particularly as you change from different sessionsIn order to use the steam, VR run time head to stream VR settings -> developer tab -> current run time click change to steam VR. HOWEVER you must boot STEAM VR before booting the game up in order for it to use the steam VR runtime, otherwise, it will revert to the oculus run time (regardless of what steam says) this was shown in the Virtual desktop performance overlay.Virtual desktop Oculus runtime results (worse than link cable but doesn't crash)Using the High "VR Graphics Quality" in the Virtual desktop settings produced a smooth experience with the same rare drops to 88 fps.the jittering its the same as the LINK + Steam VR combo and miles better than the Link + oculus run time. the visual fidelity wasn't as crisp as the link cable. Ultra quality in VD settings induced frame drops to 83 which increased jittering.Virtual desktop Steam VR runtime results (not as clear as oculus run time)Almost Identical results to the Oculus runtime, ever so slightly more frame drops (2-3%) but a little less Jitters.All in all, this was the most painful experience and EA defiantly needs to fix the jittering and optimization of VR as a whole. Specifically, the random crashes using the link cable :/, once this happens it's going to be a great experience@Grocs_Blech id love you to try the SteamVR runtime vs oculus runtime on VD and let me know what you think

@SochilVR wrote:The Oculus app section is not "irrelevant," how else are you supposed to set the Oculus presets for refresh rate & especially rendering resolution? Do those settings not apply when you load up steam VR?It's only irrelevant when you're using Virtual Desktop, because VD has its own software that runs on the PC independently from the Oculus programs. It has its own settings for refresh rate and resolution (for resolution it's ultra/high/medium/low). If you're using Link cable or Air Link then the Oculus app and debug tool settings will apply.I'm just suggesting different things to try to work around the game's weird issue. I'm able to get smooth performance with proper head tracking and everything on a Reverb G2 running at 90 Hz, as long as the framerate is locked at 90 fps. If the framerate drops at all, even just a few fps, I start to see the weird stuff. I also have a Quest 2 which is why I'm familiar with those programs, but I haven't tried it with this game.

decrease the resolution, oculus quest native res is a lot slower, you lose fps witout reason bro

This is the only VR related game I've played that needs me to change my settings to compensate for its lack of optimization. It's not an issue with the Quest resolution.

We shouldn't need to do this though. Not to mention that to get native resolution on the Quest 2, this slider should be maxed out. I'm simply not prepared to lose the visual fidelity by lowering settings from standard. Every other game I have does not require this to be lowered and run's perfectly well. The issue is the game optimisation, not the Quest settings.
Let's just hope an update is released to address the game, otherwise it's going to be gathering dust for me.

@Grocs_Blech @SochilVR How did you guys manage to open your games using Virtual Desktop?. I could once but is not working anymore.
I do use the Virtual Desktop Menu to open the games. Once I hit PLAY it opens an icon called "OVR Runtime Init". I believe this is the SteamVR services. But nothing happens after that. Game does not open.

I do have oculus apps installed. Steam and SteamVR installed.

@paulosoaresf I'm getting a similar issue on the Origin/EA Play app version where it will just load the regular version of the game after selecting "Play F1 22 VR"

@paulosoaresf @TheOGReeceTTV I haven't played F1 22 VR for a few days so I'll investigate tonight with Virtual Desktop. If there is an issue I'll reach out to the Virtual Desktop dev to see if we can sort.

Hi @paulosoaresf @TheOGReeceTTV
Tested it quickly before going to work and it is still working fine for me.
Ensure SteamVR is closed (I'm using the latest beta of this) and load up VD first. Then go to the Origin client and launch from there, selecting F1 22 for VR.
This worked fine for me - loads up Steam VR and then the game in VR.
Let me know how you go.
