Share Your VR Settings

[Chipless]

There is a very healthy thread going for ACC VR settings, but I didn't see an equivalent thread going here. I was wondering if anyone has dialed in their VR settings to perfection in rFactor 2. I'm currently using an HP Reverb G2 and 1080Ti, so if anyone has a good starting point for settings within SteamVR+WMR+rFactor 2+etc., I'd greatly appreciate the help. I was hoping to have an RTX 3080 by now (maybe it will happen by the year 2022), so I'd also be curious which tweaks are suggested with higher-end GPUs than the 1080Ti.

i have the Rift S now, but planning to upgrade to Reverb G2. how big is the resolution step forward in rf2?

 

[Chipless]

I only ever used the Valve Index prior to the G2, but the G2 has a noticeably better image than the Index. I highly recommend it.

 

[AyrtonForever]

yep, only one problem is that i have to change graphic card, my 1070 can't manage its higher resolution i think

Try SS 50% (native resolution) for Steam VR and in-game settings from the screenshot:

Anti Aliasing you can try Level 1 or 2

Using OpenComposite for Rift S on 2070Super / 3600X / Tuned RAM...

L3 AA, PP Low, everything on full in game (except rain drops)
Oculus Debug Tool SS=1.25, ASW disabled.
Nvidia control panel Sharpening = 1.0
Garage LOD tweak (stops fps drops when passing pits)

Runs fine, though I only hotlap by myself in RF2. If I want to be punted I have iRacing :-P

My methodology is to set everything to medium, find a good SS point, between 1.25 - 1.4 and then turn things up until I start getting less than 80Hz. Then tweak to find a balance between graphic effects and SS. Usually prefer graphic effects over higher SS.

After the big update the OpenComposite-think stops to work.

Is this only my problem or do you have the same problems. If not....what have you done?

 

[AyrtonForever]

Same here, I tried three different dll but nothing

 

[richiehatchet]

OpenComposite only works with the old UI ... you need to opt of the beta on steam

EDIT: Crapola...just did the update and it's broken for me too.

EDIT: Got it working. Select old ui from betas dropdown and THEN drop the dll file into bin64 again.
(The openvr dll is replaced with the rf2 version by steam after you select the old ui as part of the file validation)

 

[kingmitdemding]

i dont think that its works.
If i chance to the old ui and trop the dll, i can start the game and everythink look normal. But as soon as i start a race, it crashs

 

[richiehatchet]

I just tested a race with BT20 with 10 AI at bridgehampton and had no problems.
Does it crash at the actual race start or after clicking the "Race" button in the UI?

EDIT: Are you getting the 64-bit dll from this site? https://gitlab.com/znixian/OpenOVR

EDIT [29/12/2020] : This is the right link for the dll, fork for RF2 ...
https://gitlab.com/TheIronWolfModding/OpenOVR/tree/master#download-the-latest-dll

 

[kingmitdemding]

it crashes when i hit the "race" button.

I used you dll from your link.

Maybe its somethinks in the opencomposit.ini. Can you give me your (or tell me whats written in there)?

 

[richiehatchet]

supersampleRatio=1.3
enableLayers=false
enableCubemap=true
threePartSubmit=false
useViewportStencil=true
dx10Mode=false

If you get an error for line 3 just delete that line. If the UI is starting up in VR then that means the dll is being used, I'd suggest maybe trying some other combination of car/track. I tested with Portland just now which has been updated and it worked ok for me.

There's a log file in the same directory as the dll called openovr_log that could have something in it of note.

 

[kingmitdemding]

thanks....i will try it after chrismas.
i hope it works.

What headset do you use?

 

[richiehatchet]

Rift S

i have the Rift S now, but planning to upgrade to Reverb G2. how big is the resolution step forward in rf2?

i had a rift ,rift s and now on the reverb g1 cant compare the first 2 day and night difference so much sharper in de distance its crazy

I can figure It I'm reading of people complaining about black that is not black, mostly in night driving, and colours less natural because G2 is on LCD and not amoled. What's your experience in this regard?

 

[bob76]

that's no problem for me colors are fine better than in the rift my opinion for me the fact that the resolution is so much better you don't have to fool around to get to a near-perfect image that outnumbers all other factors there is no shimmering or flickering in the distance

I agree on this, resolution step forward is first thing I need coming from rift s, and before cv1 as you. My only concern is to find a good graphic card that doesn't cost me one kidney

I use a 20080ti works perfect for the reverb but I think a 1080ti will almost do just as good
