What do you expect to see? The game to correctly respect cantered displays such that double vision doesn't occur in VR on headsets with cantered displays (without the need to use workarounds such as "compatible with parallel projections").

    I totally agree with you. Let's see if EA listen to us and update the fix.

    hope they fix this one, it's a 20-30% fps penalty on pimax which means losing 20-30% on render resolution to compensate making the game much blurrier than it should be

    Yes, we would have much better performance without PP enabled. Thanks.
