For owners of headsets from Varjo, Pimax, HP and possibly others too their native OpenXR runtimes are not working correctly.

Currently the only way for us to get the game running is by switching runtimes and this is sub-optimal for performance. For me using a Pimax Crystal this can result in up to a 20% loss in performance. This also requires a dance of option changes between the different apps I run just to get WRC working and to get everything reset after use.

What I would hope is for OpenXR to not be specific to just Steam and Meta. Everything else I run that is OpenXR based works as expected with all OXR runtimes and layers.

For what it's worth here are my findings trying to use the native runtime for the Pimax Crystal: The game will start and menus etc in the floating theater show correctly, this actually runs 90fps compared to Steams XR which can be around 70fps and stuttery in this mode, native is far better for these theater modes. When a stage is started the hmd will switch into stereo 3D BUT will flicker between eyes and not react to head position movement with what looks like a window within a window.

Yeah it's doable but you have to disable dlss which is a major perf boost with the mask feature in the openxr toolkit. Without dlss it tanks and I'm getting decent perf out of steamvr running dlss and tweaking my lods/ material quality in the engine.ini plus adding tonemapper sharpening which helps the fuzzy look when running dlss. 

Here's what I currently have added to the engine.ini file:

[SystemSettings]

r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.SSR.quality=0
r.DefaultFeature.Bloom=0
r.BloomQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.MotionBlur=0
r.DepthOfField=0
r.EyeAdaptation.LensAttenuation=030
r.MipMapLODBias=-1
r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=-1

r.ToneMapper.Sharpen=2.2

C'mon EA where is the answer to my question? It would literally take you less than 30 seconds to reply. Shame on you for your lack of client service.

Will we see any VR fixes in these new paid expansions?

I'd like to hope so. I'm holding off on buying until I see some movement on the VR (beta) front.

Its just very unenjoyable when you have to render at 50% resolution with a very small FOV, and DLSS - just to have tolerable fps.

This is the only VR game I have to do this with.

Communication would be nice as a minimum
