Rfactor2 The VR thread -settings & tips

You could use the full release of OpenComposite, with the issue that the game will crash every time you change a track.

Here you can download the steam_api64.dll and replace the one in your rFactor 2\Bin64 folder

Does anyone know a way to increase brightness in VR? The cars (specially GT3s) are too dark.

 

In SteamVR you can change the brightness

 

Hello. I am a first time VR user and I am confused about how to change graphic options. The only way I can get VR working in rF2 is to (I have a G2) is to open WMR, then open rF2 from Steam. If I try to make a graphical change it crashes back to the SteamVR home screen. Do I have make my graphic changes in Non VR rf2 first?

 

Have anybody an idea how to run Open Composit after the december-update?

 

Can someone tell me how to disable VR? I want to tinker on my monitor.

Was surprised yesterday to see my rF2 shortcut send me directly into the game in my HMD without the usual launcher screen coming up on my monitor first. Fumbled around in the new UI, did an online race and exited. Now today I'm realizing a problem with that launch sequence. That is, I can't choose initially to play on my monitor instead of in VR. I need access to that button that selects or disables VR. (Preferably showing on the monitor before the game launches in VR.) So as it is, I put on my HMD and wandered around the UI for several minutes before giving up on finding it.

 

I had the same issue. I was told to launch RF2 from within your Steam library. When you do that, you get the option to reconfigure graphics and you can turn off VR there.

 

thanks

 

And you can set it to HMD/Mirror and you will have the game on your monitor as well as running in your HMD.
So you can do all your setup there and only put your HMD on when on track. much better.

 

Is there some kind of summary guide/documentation that describes most important settings in rF2 for VR performance?

 

I'm interested too

 

You need to use the old ui to get OpenCompsite to work (select old ui from the betas dropdown)

 

I have a problem with the VR view since I switched from the CV1 to the Reverb G2. Every now and then my sitting position changes while riding (as if I were manually correcting the glasses). It seems to me that RF2 resets the VR view once when I put on the glasses. Is it possible to deactivate this? So that the VR view can only be reset manually? I have not found any settings for this in WMR and Steam VR. Therefore, I think that an RF2 setting must be

 

Check if you had set the button to reset position in rfactor

 

What do you think? The option in the settings?

 

Is your room not too dark or too bright? I have now and then the same if I forgot to turn on the lights (needed for good Reverb G2 tracking, not needed when I was using the CV1). Also maybe reset floor position via SteamVR settings

 

Thanks, Yes I have already tried that without success. The seat position also moves while driving, if I reset this again (manually via button) then everything is good. But the view changes while driving. I'm just wondering where I can disable this, so that the view is corrected only when I manually operate it.

 

I've got this problem too with my RiftS, typically the seated position in VR jumps around but seems to settle down as soon as I'm out of the pit lane.

Lighting in my room is the same as it always has been. I'll have to test in some other Sims as I'm not sure it's just Rfactor2. Rfactor2 is just the sim I use 99% of the time.

 

In my experience, it could be subjective, but in steam vr, while the game is loading, move your head in every imaginable position, also you should have a room lightly lit, trying not to have shadows and reflective objects in the direction you point your headset. I don´t have the problem you tell, but i used to have it, it was the light conditions in the room, during the day, i close all the windows protections, and turn on the room lights.

 

Thats not correct, i can use opencomposite also with new UI
