Hello VR fans...For those waiting for VR support to come to EASPORTS WRC, please can I encourage you upvote this suggestion to have OpenXR support rather than SteamVR (OpenVR) mode only. VR performance is often the number one complaint when being added to a 2D game after launch.Typically there is a performance hit running VR games in SteamVR mode. This is made worse if you are running a none native SteamVR headset e.g. Meta Quest (the most popular headsets used for PCVR currently) the Reverb G2 (the most popular Simmers VR headset) and Pimax headset and so on. The performance hit is usually in the range of about 10%.and sometimes more.Furthermore, games supporting OpenXR can make use of other performance enhancing tools such as the OpenXR toolkit to enable foveated rendering and other sharpening tools. From Unreal v4.27 onwards there even appears to be OpenXR plugin suppport, so from a game engine perspective this should be feasible. If iRacing can do this, so can can Codies 😁Whilst working on VR mode, adding 'Quad Views' support for VR headsets that support eye tracking (Quest Pro, Pimax Crystal, Varjo Aero) would be the icing on the performance cake, but lets shoot for OpenXR support first.Thanks Ham.

@HamVR This definitely needs to happen to make this great in VR.

I really want this for dynamic foveated rendering. We will most likely get higher res headsets with eye tracking in the next year or 2 and DFR in openXR is a game changer for VR.

This is exactly what we're waiting for. Because without OpenXR this title is surely ruined in VR.OpenXR = mandatory.We also need proper anti aliasing, like MSAA or at least DLAA implemented in the game menu's. The current anti aliasing gives artifacts and blur, so not usable at all.And Quad views should be added if the dev's really want the game to perform well. Let's hope that they do want that... so we will see.

yes! please OpenXR support.thank you

My Setup with Pimax 8KX and Full Motion by NLR can‘t wait for VR support 🙂

@HamVR Amen to this! I was going to start this thread if it didn’t already exist. If EA wants us to be able to squeeze every possible frame out of WRC in VR we’ll need OpenXR. Native (like iRacing) would be ideal. OpenComposite works great in Dirt Rally 2, but since EA used UE4 for the new WRC we’ll need all the help we can get. Even my 13900K/4090 need’s concessions in ACC which is also UE4.

I would also appreciate to become a easy way to record the vr mirror or proper possibility to record the VR footage.
To be honest i am not so familiar with that topic but it would be good to make this easier for us.
For example games like Automobilista 2 offer out of the box such possibility.
Take a look at that or talk with Reiza 🙂
I dont wanna fumble around with Obs, 1000 strange settings, dumb cropping and so on....

Even Steam has transitioned to OpenXR... seems highly unlikely that EA would be targeting OpenVR with this title.
