Platform: PC (Steam)
Headset: PS VR2 via official PC adapter + SteamVR
CPU: Intel Core i5-14600K | GPU: RTX 9060 XT
Issue: When entering gameplay (garage or driving), the left and right eye rendering becomes misaligned and uncalibrated, causing severe distortion and an uncentered view. Resetting the VR position does not fix the issue. The problem occurs exclusively in F1 25 — all other VR-compatible games work correctly with the same headset and setup, without any additional configuration.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect PS VR2 via official PC adapter
2. Launch SteamVR
3. Launch F1 25 in VR mode
4. Enter any gameplay session (garage or on track)
Expected behavior: Both eyes render correctly aligned, providing a stable and centered stereoscopic view.
Actual behavior: Each eye points in a diverging direction, causing distortion and an unplayable experience.
Additional notes:
- Editing hardware_settings_config_vr.xml (stencilMesh, TAA, post-processing) did not resolve the issue.
- Disabling Motion Smoothing and setting SteamVR to 120Hz did not resolve the issue.
- The bug has been reported by multiple users on the EA Forums and Steam Discussions, suggesting it is a systematic issue with PS VR2 + SteamVR on F1 25, not an isolated case.
