VR not working (AMD 9070XT)

I am also experiencing this black screen issue, so I would like to provide my symptoms and some technical findings to help with the investigation.

Specific Symptoms:

Menus and UI are visible in the headset, but the screen goes completely black when the 3D environment starts.

The monitor mirror window and head tracking remain functional.

Confirmed Observations:

Driver Boundary: Rolling back to Radeon Driver 25.4.1 fixes the issue. All versions after that are broken.

Cross-Hardware Comparison: I have noticed other users reporting the same issue on the HP Reverb G2, and a friend using a Meta Quest 3S(RX 9060 XT) on the latest drivers does NOT have this issue.

Hypothesis provided by AI (Gemini): I consulted an AI to analyze these patterns, and it provided the following inference: Since the Quest 3S uses video streaming whereas the PSVR2 and G2 rely on a direct DisplayPort connection, the conflict likely lies in the direct DisplayPort output or DSC handling in Radeon drivers newer than 25.4.1 when interacting with the F1 engine's 3D render.

I am sharing this AI inference as it points toward a very specific hardware communication issue. I hope this helps the development team!

Thanks for your collaboration! We appreciate that!

Thanks for getting back to us. I'll try and get you this information in the next few days. Hopefully a few other people on here can too and we can track down the issue!

Hey everyone,

Thank you to those who have reported this issue. We’re currently working with our partners at AMD to investigate further.

To help us reproduce and diagnose the problem, we’d really appreciate it if players who are affected could share some additional information about their setup. Specifically, please provide:

• A DxDiag report
• Your report code
• The hardware settings XML files

You can find step‑by‑step instructions on how to gather this information here.

Thank you for your support and understanding. Your reports are incredibly valuable in helping us move this forward.

Considering that F126 is just going to be a paid update for F125, I'm hoping that isn't the case and they take the time to fix this for us.

At this point, just hoping to get some information, one way or another. Obviously the best news would be that a fix is in the works, but we'll see. 

Unfortunately, there's been no update from EA, which is completely ignoring the issue. I think they're waiting for the new version of F1 to be released so we can forget about the inability to play a paid-for title.

EA_cuervo​ - wanted to ping you to see if you have any updates. Again, not trying to be rude, but also don't want this issue to just sit as "investigating" forever. 

Any chance you can get an update for all of us? Thanks!

I have the exact same setup, and for months the menus have been fine. However, whenever I load into a race, all it shows me is a large black bar in the middle of my screen and parts of the eye views on the top and bottom.

EA_cuervo​ - any chance you have any updates for us?
Don't want to sound impatient, but we've all been dealing with this for a while. AMD seems to be releasing a lot of new technologies coming up that we can all likely take advantage of,  so wondering if there's any information you can pass on from the development team?

Would love to finally be able to upgrade to the latest video driver, but I play this game more than any other, so not wanting to do that until this is fixed.

As mentioned previously, happy to help troubleshoot if needed. Can also confirm the issue is still there on the latest version of the AMD driver.

Thanks in advance!

Is there any other troubleshoot steps the team wants any of us to do to help with the issue? 

Very motivated to get this fixed asap, and happy to help if needed with troubleshooting.
