What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. Reverb G2/ 10700k / 32gig / RTX3090 - 90htz Problem - inconsistent stuttering from inside the headset. Using the Steam VR - Developer features - and using the colored performance graph that you can set to be on from inside the headset through STEAM-VR, you can intermittently (but frequently)see dropped frames. I have spent tens of hours tuning this, and this seems to be a problem with how the headset is rendering and timing frames back and fourth between Steam, the GPU and SW-Squadrons. Lowering settings seems to mitigate to an extent, but we should not have to do this. Changing htz to 60 also seems to alleviate the issue somewhat- but lowering htz this far gives me a headache! This definitely needs attention and needs refinement and a patch. Please fix at 90htz. Needs a patch. In comparison, I have Rift S, that does not do this. Please show the newer headsets (like the Reverb G2) a little love and develop a framerate/frame timing improvement patch. This was never optimized and its sorely needs it.
