After 1.9, no longer allows VR on WMR HMD's like HP Reverb and Samsung Odyssey

The issues (unresolved on my G2) has forced me to play on my Pico 4 and I'm partly glad of it. I tried running drive and flight sims on my Pico when I first had it about a year ago and couldn't get the display as good as the G2, this issue has made me research how to get crisper visuals in the Pico as WRC is working on it and now I'm so happy as I wouldn't have realized how good I can get the Pico when connected to PC.

Must say its strange how some people have it running fine on the G2 and others not and I haven't heard anyone else with the remaining issue I have (audio), even did a clean Windows install to try to fix.

Hi - just FYI - i managed after weeks of trying to get my VR back on a Reverb G2. What made the change was to update my Nvidia driver. im not sure if that combined with something i did previously (i.e. uninstalling/ reinstalling steam vr/ steam/ WRC) made the difference - but try the nvidia driver update - hopefully it works. 

Tried upgrade and downgrades, Steam reinstall and a lengthy WRC reinstall, I can run WRC but no audio unless I switch to Steam VR oculus Beta which then crashes WRC with video errors.

@Sokittoya76A It's not that I want to know what each of those do

It's that you're recommending them to other people without knowing, yourself, what they do

@shearershedge Please explain?

What SteamVR beta are you using mate?  If I use 'none' or the beta update I can get no audio in the game. I can get audio if I use the Oculus beta but some of the overlays are missing though they are on my monitor, so none of the betas are fully giving me what I should have.

No I didn't say that at all. I said it needs to be disabled. Please go back and make sure to read & follow the instructions carefully.

I've updated my engine.ini since my last post. I now prefer to run my Reverb G2 @ 86% full resolution through steam & I've forced DLAA to run through the engine.ini.

My latest ini is as follows.

[SystemSettings]
r.EyeAdaptation.LensAttenuation=0.36
r.MipMapLodBias=-5
r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=-1
r.MotionBlur.Max=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0
r.ToneMapper.Sharpen=2.0
r.foliage.LODDistanceScale=2

r.Shadow.MaxResolution=1024
r.Shadow.MaxCSMResolution=1024
r.ShadowQuality=2
r.TextureStreaming=0

[ConsoleVariables]

niagara.CreateShadersOnLoad=1
r.Streaming.PoolSize=0
r.Streaming.LimitPoolSizeToVRAM=1
r.Streaming.FullyLoadUsedTextures=1
r.Streaming.Boost=1
r.NGX.DLSS.AutoExposure=0
r.NGX.DLSS.Reflections.TemporalAA=1
r.NGX.DLSS.DilateMotionVectors=0
r.NGX.DLAA.Enable=true

let me know if these settings help with clarity. 

Tip: You can leave DLSS as default by changing 

r.NGX.DLAA.Enable=true to false if you need more fps and just use in game dlss settings though the blurries will come back. Negative lod bias does help sharpen to a degree but ghosting still exists.

I had issues with 1.9 so Ive rolled back to 1.8.1 and realize the reason I had audio issues was because I couldn't use openxr, once I switched WMR to use openxr in 1.8.1 my audio is back and the game runs better.
