    You could try running the directx dxsetup.exe to see if it installs the missing dll, you’ll find it in your support/directx folder.

    On my PC I find D3DCOMPILER_43.dll in many places except rFactor. Probably the most important are
    C:\Windows\System32\D3DCompiler_43.dll
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\D3DCompiler_43.dll
    "Reinstalling the program may fix this problem" but in this case maybe copy
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\tools\steamvr_environments\game\bin\win64\d3dcompiler_43.dll (the same as System32 one strangely) and
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\bin\vrwebhelper\win64\d3dcompiler_43.dll (the same as the SysWOW64 one)

    Hi,
    i get this message (RF2 does not support VR) when i mixed up the starting procedure; so you first have to start the launcher and only then start steamVR (dont start it before you've startet the launcher), then start the game via launcher (single or multi).

    For rift S with

    i7 9700K @5ghz
    16 Go DDR4 4000 mghz
    GTX 1080 overclocked

    I use these settings, good graphics and good performance :

    - Supersampling (open VR) : 120%
    - Post Process OFF
    - AA level 3
    - Nvidia control panel : maximum quality ( lod negative CLAMP, high quality textures, no filtering optimisations....)
    - detail track + details textures + detail cockpit FULL/ULTRA
    - Shadow HIGH (no shadow blur)
    - EVERYTHING ELSE OFF.
    - Auto detail FPS : activated and max FPS.

    Without AI and sunset -> 99% time : 80 FPS
    With 61 AI and sunset -> oculus ASW, playable.

    Me too.

    I only found these magic parameters a few days ago, after 6 months of huge problems with the performance of rFactor 2.

    I am also REALLY fed up with rF2 optimization problems.

    Tried this sequence as you guys recommended. Start the RF2 Launcher, then start SteamVR, then choose Single player ..... still the same result for me. Only plays on my triple screens. Hitting the Video Settings still results in the cursor turning for a second or two and then nothing. Plays fine on my triples. Trying to copy the D3DCompiler_43.dll file into both the Bin32 and Bin64 folders next to see if that makes any difference.

    Ok... I will test it, but damn it’s really frustrating that the rtx2080ti can’t run rfactor2 with ultra setting and steady 80fps !

    Does anyone know why road reflections in wet conditions are dodgey in VR and is there a way to fix it? I can't find any info on this anywhere but the wet road reflections are just buggy (reflections popping in/out and double or triple vision of them in the wrong places etc) and unusable which is a shame because it looks a bit naff with them turned off.

    Sorry if this has been discussed already but does rF2 support ASW 2.0, or have plan to support it?

    Since SteamVR got updated to version 1.9.xx, rFactor 2 doesn't show up in the application list in the settings, so I no longer can alter the game-specific supersampling for example. Is this a known issue or I have some local problem here?

    I have it too, and it was reported to Steam, they said to contact RF2 devs which another member did, there is a way around it, add it as a non steam game and tick the VR box, it worked for me:)

    rF2 appears in the list when you launch the sim, try win+D and then changing to steamVR settings. It worked for me.

    Yes, I'm using it with the Valve Index, it helps smoothing out smaller stutters. Some people say it causes some delay, but I haven't noticed it.
