Not sure about EA, but, of course, everyone at Codemasters knows the head tracking is broken. It is broken on every headset. For whatever reason, the 3rd party that did the VR implementation will not or cannot fix it. That's where we are at.
I just wish EA Kent would do the one thing I need him to do, which is to tell me how to get a refund, so I'm not held hostage by this game anymore. Steam won't give me a refund because I spent 7 hours the first couple of days trying every conceivable setting change to fix the head tracking and the horrific AA options they decided to use.
I opened a case here at EA and they said they would let the team know. Yay.....worthless. Just give me a refund.
I have spent hours after hours testing and I have it now "cross fingers" a nice fun time in VR. Between no mouse support, having to get use to using buttons to get around the menu, figuring out steam VR resolution and all the darn settings in game, this is not plug in play. EA did do some nice things in VR, gave some good settings, gave personal options its a shame there is a fatal flaw. The most important thing I found, hope it helps some.
1- The framerate can not dip below the hz you have set on your VR headset. If it dips 6 or 7 frames much less 15 or more below your hz setting you get that jerky movement even if your running at 72 fps if your hz is set say on 90hz.
2- So what does that mean, your probably going to have to set your headset at 60hz or 72hz and run on mostly low settings. If your a high fps person or have to have better clarity you are out of luck in VR on f122 the way it is implemented now.
Conclusion: Something in the way EA has implemented VR does not allow it to handle drops in frames compared to the hz settings in the headset. Its always been somewhat important but in F122 you just get the over the top jerkyness compared to other games. The issue is most of us just dont have hardware that allow a constant 90 fps or more in a racing game that would allow us to set our headsets to use the 90hz or higher.
EA if you care this is where you need to start investigating why you have such an issue here where PC2 or MFS does not.
I have a monster computer. The problem is the head tracking, not jerkiness or jittering, or stuttering. I have 90 hz easily, 5 gig cpu, 3080ti oc, etc with valve index. The head tracking is broken. That is the problem. It’s also the blurriest vr racing game on the market, that’s another problem. And many objects in game are not rendered properly in 3d. That’s another problem. But the main problem of out of sync head tracking makes the game unplayable, so the other stuff doesn’t even matter.
Community ManagerThank you everyone! I appreciate the info.
@nangu22 Bingo. Codemasters already know about it because it would be impossible to not know about it. They developed the game. Now, maybe they are waiting for the 3rd party to fix it, or maybe it can't be fixed, which they would never tell us...but maybe we are getting the answer by the radio silence itself. Which is fine--just give me a refund since the VR feature is un-functional and that is a promised feature.
Luckily I was able to use the 10 hour free trial with Xbox Game Pass. I used 7 hours of that to test all the patches up till 1.10 and none of them really changed the head tracking.
Again to chime in with the earlier posters this issue has nothing to do with performance or not hitting the required frame rates as I am locked at the refresh rate of my HMD it's just the head tracking does not behave like basically every other VR game in existence, it lags behind the actual head movement.
For me the best combination so far has been using OpenComposite on my CV1 but that does not FIX the issue as it is still lagging behind.
@57c8f68321dc240fI meant to say that my framerate is locked at the refresh rate of my HMD. So my FPS is not fluctuating below the refresh rate of the HMD.
CV1 is at 90hz
Q2 is at 80hz
G2 is at 90hz
3090ti and 12900K
I was hoping that this VR issue would be resolved over the summer break. Unfortunately, it has gotten even worse. Before you had the opportunity to lower the details. Since it was halfway, that you could drive something. Now that doesn't work either.
Did 1.12 do anything for this issue?
Ofcourse not ☹️
EA, please fix this! It's so bad and why are you not doing anything to fix this problem? So frustrating that EA does not give a single F about it's customers. Just bring in the money and screw everybody...
1.15 any better? so glad I didn't buy this game and only used the trial from game pass.
