VR Feedback - Multiple Headsets

Played on a 3080Ti/10700K

Valve Index / Quest 2 / Pimax 8KX

1. The TAA + FidelityFX sharpening NEEDS some kind of sharpening slider for extra sharpening because it's still not sharp enough as it is now... all other AA settings are really blurry and borderline unplayable if you compare them to other VR racing games. Maybe the sliders aren't working well but the FSR/DLSS sharpening slider didn't really do anything. Reshade doesn't work currently which can use CAS Sharpening, but I'd rather not install extra things anyway.

2. Of course the issue everyone is complaining about - when you move your head the camera moves excessively. This issue occurred in DiRT Rally 2.0 VR when it launched, but it was eventually fixed...you would think the devs would learn from their mistakes...

3. All of these headsets have bad jitter/lag while in the garage.

4. In the garage, the smoke coming out from the crew member's hose is in different spots (doesn't line up with the actual hose in the left eye).

If you set the game to modest supersampling the framerate is pretty decent. I'm using a mix of settings but most are medium, some things high, texture streaming high.

Index at ~160% at 90Hz

Quest 2 - actually didn't play with this enough but it seems to need something below ~2400x2400 per eye at 90Hz (worse than Index to feel smooth).

8KX I'm at ~60%SS on Small FOV and seemed to have a decent time..it's the sharpest headset I have and I still easily notice the blur.

Fixing the blur and head movement would probably make me keep the game(bought on Steam but currently playing on EA Play trial until we see acknowledgement of VR fixes (hopefully within 2 weeks), but I'm on the fence.

@cazman321 Thanks for the feedback on several of the VR headsets.

Hi Mate, regarding the quest would you mind letting me know which settings were medium, where were high etc?

also any specific debug tool settings? I'm struggling so hard atm and have flawless experiences on Iracing and AC (3080/5800x)

glad someone is getting it to run decently, I thought I was going insane with the jittering!

I play on quest 2 with a 3070 ti.
With Virtual Desktop I play on mostly high settings at 90hz with Spacewarp active, in order to keep some headroom to maintain a steady 45fps in game. Racing is smooth and jitter is not too bad in the garage and on the starting grid.
Virtual Desktop sets the resolution with SteamVR this way and it's defaulting to just over 3000*3000. Overall I'm really happy with the experience.

I am running with Samsung Odyssey+ through Steam VR.
The experience is atrocious, jerky graphics when in garage and moving head. In race, everything is so blurred it's unplayable, this is the ONLY game I have that has this issue.
I'm experienced with all the the Steam VR settings, e.g. super sampling, motion smoothing etc and nothing I have tried (3+ hours) is making the image clear.
I've played round with ALL the in game settings, both graphics and VR weirdly the only thing that makes a difference changing the Antialising, changing any of the other settings, inclduding overriding the Steam supersampling with in game option and setting it it to extreme max (200) or low seems to make any difference.
Something is really flawed with this VR implementation, did anyone at EA even test the VR?
Hoping the EA team will acknowledge the issues with VR and provide a plan and timescale to address it.

With Quest 2, 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.

@cazman321 Completely agree that anything other than FXSharpening is unplayable on a Quest 2, even with the best GPU and CPU money can buy at the minute.

With FX Sharpening, it's playable but still really poor compared to other games and have the exact same issues of excessive movement. It feels really poor atm

I'm playing on a Reverb G2 with RTX 3080 and I get smooth performance when racing. I'm using VR High preset, DLSS Quality, and 80% SteamVR resolution. No head tracking problems as long as the framerate is locked at 90 Hz. In the garage and pitlane the framerate drops and I do get the weird tracking and stuttering. But on track it's 100% smooth.

Hi everyone
I bought a Pimax 5k+ about a month ago to get familiar with VR
I tried a couple of apps that worked ok'ish on my computer. It's a laptop with a 2070 rtx. Every pilot is up to date, and my headset is connected to the laptop with a minidisplayport adaptor, but everythings seems to work fine
I can play F1 2022 on my regular monitor in 4k with ~70 fps and have absolutely no problem with it, i can also launch the game using virtual desktop (but it's not a real VR experince, since its just the game on a flat screen in front of me.
BUT, when i strat the game in VR with Steam, the game takes something like 3 minutes to go, and when it works, i have 0.2 fps, i can skip the EA introcuction, but then it's the same, i tried to start a race, with patience, but once in the car, it's the same thing, i have less than 1 fps.
Anyone has an idea? or can i start the game in VR without steamVR ?

@TheKenarf By any chance is the game in fullscreen on your normal monitors? If so, when the game is trying to load up, hit Alt+Enter and see if it begins to load normal

It wasn't showing on the other monitor.
I think i found one thread with the fix, i deleted the "hardware_settings_config_VR" in dcouments/mygames/f122 and it solved the issue. if anyone has the same problem that should help
.
Now i have to find why steamVR crashes after 1 minute 😛 i think it's related with the PiTool program
