EXPERIMENTAL: Virtual Reality

What I noticed is that its not wise to modify the graphics settings too much or even at all while in VR more. Its best to modify it once, and then reset the game wholly. That was me having these settings: https://imgur.com/YuFcMC2 I was able to achieve REALLY smooth FPSs. Also not going in and out of VR helps with stability a LOT

 

"If Reset view put the camera outside the vehicle, you need to Reset offset in OVR Advanced Settings"
OVR? Is this some additional utility we need? I wasn't aware of it.

I've been able to run CarX Drift Racing, Assetto Corsa, Half Life Alyx and Google Earth VR with no issues.

 

As of now my 5800x3d+6900xt+pimax 8kx combo doesn't work in vr, camera is locked under terrain upon loaded in, then game freezes and crashed

 

Turn off reflections, try lightning to LOW and shaders to Normal. Restart the game using Vulkan launch method and then try to go to VR.

Yes, this is exactly what is going on. I have Process Explorer turned on nearly all the time, and I noticed changing the gfx settings puts a humongous strain on VRAM and Page File/System Commit

 

Update: I set the centering keybind to a button on my wheel, now the centering works just fine.

 

heres my benchmark. Im using a 4070 with a intel 9700kf with 32gb ram on a 3440x1440 monitor with a valve index targeting 90fps. I have settings to normal(i just pressed normal), dynamic reflections off, no traffic, and no monitor rendering. I get a solid 90fps in game, although loading things in makes it stutter. I'll haveto try to see how high i can get the settings. Enabling dynamic rendering halves my fps. Also not sure if this is a vr bug or regular bug ,but headlights flicker or entirely stay off when i have them enabled.

 

iv tryed it and when i launched vulcan and put my head set on its unplayable so for me doesent work

 

Yea thats what I noticed too.
In your case you have a beefy GPU. Go as high as high with mesh, textures shadows and *MAYBE* shaders, post processing normal and if that works slap a High, i recommend keeping anisotropic to x16 or at least x8 because hooo boy, it looks horrible without it,, bloom, DoF, AO and Rays i havent tested yet.
Havent tested yet lightning quality but I think if I set it above Low it smashes my FPS

 

It works now, thank you. I reinstalled the VR headset and updated my GPU drivers. I don't what exactly fixed it but it works perfectly now.

 

ok, now I discovered it crashed because game topped all of my vram(16g), when it doesn't top my vram the performance is still poor probably because AMD isn't good for vr in general. also camera would not recenter into cockpit, sits above roof, will do more testing tomorrow.

 

Ok Ctrl+Num5 fixes the camera positioning issue. That was an error on my part because I thought it was just Num5 by itself.

When exiting the game it crashes every time with this error:
BeamNG.drive 0.30.0.0 0xC0000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

I suspect this is a VRAM issue, I "only" have 10GB. Whenever I try to submit the error report it fails saying it can't establish an SSL connection to the server.

 

Glad that more "big" games get official VR support. I have a 4090 and 8KX too. Could give my feedback in 6 hours when I get home. With Pimax we should check at first if it works with or without Parallel projection. I hope not
