Late stage performance drops are a VERY big problem in VR

I'll be running at a locked 60fps for all the stage, until I get to the last 1km or 0.5 km, and then I start getting dropped frames like crazy and it is very hard to play.

It's easy to confirm it's a bug because you can run the exact stage in reverse, which means the start line is in the area that had the frame rate trouble before, and the frame rate will be fine.

Especially egregious in Rally Mediterraneo. Also noticed on longer Greece stages.

I've read this has been a problem even in 2D since version 1.6 or so?

CPU: 5600x
GPU: RX 6800xt

HMD: Samsung Odyssey + (WMR)

    yep has been occuring in 2D mode and impacts VR mode, i haven't yet confirmed if it's only certain systems having the issue or just that many don't notice, been posting about it here:

    However it has definitely been occuring since before 1.6.0, possibly since release, I noticed my Ryzen 7 5800X3D seemed to be impacted by it more severely than my Ryzen 5 3600 (the older CPU had the slowdown appear briefly, but seemed to recover).

    Ys, I have this too and I too switched from 3600 to 5800x3d. Can't say for sure that was the exact momnet these screen tearings started to appear. Strange thing is that the scree tearing continues even after I shut down the game. I don't have this in any other game.

    Going through Airlink, since SteamLink crashes the SteamVR for me constantly.

    I suffer the same. It's not all stages but most.

    It basically renders the game unplayable in VR for me as it ruins the last section of any run.

    I hadn't noticed the issue in 2D myself but I guess it's possible.
