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

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.

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.ViewDistanceScale=2
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=0
r.foliage.ditheredLOD=0
r.foliage.MinimumScreenSize=0.00000001
r.MaterialQualityLevel=2
r.StaticMeshLODBias=-3
r.Shadow.MaxResolution=1024
r.Shadow.MaxCSMResolution=1024
r.ShadowQuality=2
r.TextureStreaming=0

[ConsoleVariables]
AllowAsyncRenderThreadUpdates=1
AllowAsyncRenderThreadUpdatesDuringGamethreadUpdates=1
AllowAsyncRenderThreadUpdatesEditor=1

[/script/engine.renderersettings]
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.

@shearershedgeWhat 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.

@shearershedge Please explain?

@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

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.

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.
