Re: Pathetic VR performance. Game state is a shameful pile.

I tried:

- Several Nvidia driver versions
- All the possible combinations of settings (vsync, latency, VR prerendered frames, etc.)
- Disabling OC on both CPU & GPU
- Shutting down any background software
- Setting all quality settings in Virtual Desktop and the game to the lowest possible
- Installing a different Windows 10 version
- Installing SteamVR Beta
- Setting Virtual Desktop to 60, 72, 80, 90.
- Using Oculus Link instead of Virtual Desktop
- Setting different quality options in Oculus Debug Tool, Oculus Tray Tool, Oculus app and Sidequest.

...NOTHING made any faqking difference. Got *exactly* the same stutters.

Just tried enabling ASW with both Forced 45fps and Adaptive in Oculus Tray Tool, and then the Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2 and Ctrl+3 options in game. The game gets smoother, with typical interpolation glitches visible.

You can't force 80Hz or 90Hz via Oculus Link (it just inevitably crashes) so you end up with a pathetic 36fps, doubled to 72fps/72Hz via ASW.

And even then there are stutters each second/few seconds. This is unacceptable quality.

Even with a Encode Resolution Width of 3664, a Encode Bitrate of 500Mbps and a Pixels Per Display Override (supersampling) of 1.3, Oculus Link looks noticeably worse than Virtual Desktop, which is baffling.

So, summing it up: still the same pile of hot garbage it's been so far. No matter how many different ways or different settings I try, game performs like if I was running it on a Spectrum 48K. Developers should be ashamed.

It does not matter what you try...YOU CANT fix this...the game engine is locked to 60 (unique) FPS...so PC-VR is a SHAM..this was designed for PlayStation VR NOT PC-VR.  EA should clearly warn about the hideous PC-VR support before any more people are fooled into buying this pile.   I'm expecting delivery of Reverb G2 & RTX3080 any day now which I ordered solely for this so the way I see it EA owes me about £1250 or FIX THE GAME.  The most they have accepted is 'some people report a feeling of low FPS' in VR & above 60FPS monitors and are investigating........BULL..they know & knew very well the situation before release & kept quiet...AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing is... I understand why the 60fps lock is bothering plenty of people, and I want that fixed too, but my problem is that I can't  get a decent performance EVEN at 60fps 60Hz. Right now I'm not trying to get more. It has been impossible so far. Not even with everything on low on a Ryzen 3900X with a RTX 2080 Super and 32GB@3600...

No matter which settings in Virtual Desktop or Oculus Link, no matter which Nvidia settings, no matter which game settings, even with ASW interpolation there is always stutter in VR, even if the game runs great in non-VR 2D at Ultra. And any other game does too.

...and then there's people saying they get "buttery smooth" performance with 1070's, 1080's, i5's... I mean... WTF is wrong then?

Ye, setting the resolution to 100% on SteamVR improves the performance, but the hitching every few seconds is still there.

Tried every fix, from v sync and extra VR frames in Nvidia control panel, to in game options, to oculus tray tool, NOTHING works, game is a stuttering mess after a few minutes of play, having to reset all VR options in the middle of the game to make it go away and a few minutes later the stutter returns... Fix this *.

It's intermittent performance issue we are experiencing and EA hasn't acknowledge it yet. The game runs like a thick glass of poo for me on a GTX 1080 (Quest), my friend has a GTX 1070 and says it runs like water (Quest 2). He has an older PC, older drivers, older OS install, the poo-works, and it runs better for him. No explanation as to why. It does seems to affect Oculus more than others, but I have yet to see any headset that just works for everyone. I think the game is just not made well. Every other VR game and VR-supported game just works for me.

P.S. We are both on Steam.

I'm not sure if my posts are going through (my first posts) but this game doesn't work for me either. It's the same thing, and EA makes no mention of the issues were having.
