Damn. SS to 50% must look atrocious, I'm already moaning from the 80%, I feel for you two. It looks much nicer at 100%, but then it starts to stutter/reproject/ghost even more than usual.
This game should run smooth at 100% SS with minimum requirements and low settings, that's not a big expectation.
Right now, it does not, the smoothest/cleanest I can get is SS at 90% and everything turned off/low except textures/TAA at high. That's the cleanest experience I can get, and it's way below what it should be able to handle, when compared to other games.
The most disappointing thing is that if you try ultra settings, it doesn't even have a great feeling, it seems all fake with a cartoon background.
Please EA this is potentially a very good game for VR
Usually I can max SS to 1,5 to 2.0 in all my other VR games, with settings between max and ultra, and keep my 90fps (oculus rift cv1). Here I can barely keep 45 fps at low settings with SS= 1.0. And the fact it can run at nuclear speed on monitor (several hundred fps) let me think the problem is really only VR related. With ohter games, when you reach more than 180/200 fps on monitor you can have a steady 90fps in headset with same settings. Here that isn't the case by far. Something weird and dirty for the VR mode for sure.
Please do something EA guys and girls!
I can only think there is something seriously wrong with the game in PCVR mode considering it defaults me to Ultra everything for VR graphics when it detects my 1080ti and i7 8700k@5GHz (also 16GB PC3200 RAM and installed on an SSD). In actuality I must run all "Low" settings and only 70%SS with my Index to achieve a consistent frame rate at 90Hz with motion smoothing totally disabled. Something isn't right here. This is currently the worst performing game in my VR library, and I know I'm not alone. I've completely reloaded Windows10, reinstalled the latest drivers and applications, and no difference at all in how this game performs in VR. 2D settings are set to all Lowest, external monitor mirror view set to windowed and 1024x768, v-sync disabled.
Me running this game on my laptop on Ultra: Wow this looks amazing
Me running this game on my Oculus Quest w/ the settings cranked up to Ultra: Is this the same game???
I love this game. It is a dream come true to get into the cockpit of an X-Wing in VR. The flight experience itself is amazing. Controls are snappy and the difficulty is perfect. When things are going well, this game is the single best and most immersive experience I've had in VR. That being said, I really hope that EA continues to roll out patches. If this game fixes the backgrounds, gets rid of the cockpit head stutters and is just able to generally improve the overall VR visuals, I would be willing to personally invite the development team over to my house to watch the Star Wars Holiday Special to celebrate.
Please EA...don't get cocky. You're my only hope to stay on target and improve this game.
