VR View Resets when exiting menus

The game often re-centers your VR view with no warning when exiting menus. This is no good, because your head isn't necessarily centered when it does this. So your view can suddenly be pointing off to the side, or your position can be off-center if you were leaning at the moment of reset. The worst is during flashbacks, where you have no time to fix it before taking control of the car.

The normal expectation is that a VR game re-centers one time when it first starts up (have to start somewhere), and after that it should never reset unless initiated by the player. There is already a button mapping for it as well as an option in the menu, so that's all that's needed. All major VR racing games do it this way, including the Dirt Rally games. I usually take my time at the start of a session to get my view just right, with the virtual steering wheel aligned with my actual wheel as closely as possible. The frequent resets make this impractical.

I know this isn't the most severe bug, but it's quite an annoyance when everything else is working well, and I'm hopeful it can be easily changed.

  • Hello,

    How do you re-center the VR view in F1 2022?

    Can't find it in the menu or button assignment.

    thank you,

    Rick

  • Exactly my problem. It's ridiculous to get out of a flashback menu I have to get into the position that I know I'd where I want the VR position to be and then quickly return to my normal position while driving.

    @rudy112345 It is there in the button assignment screen as well, at the bottom of the normal controls (before menu controls).
  • Exactly, you should only center VR view once and not each time before the race or qually when you about to join a session in multiplayer. There's not enough time before count down ends and session begins and you lost the center in multiplayer...
