Rfactor2 The VR thread -settings & tips

I have frequently freezes with my oculus rift! My frame rate is going crazy from 45 to 90 to 45 to 75..... it’s never stable and I have these freezes for 1-2 second where the track disappears and it gives me “ VR content loading”.. any idea? With other sim I can run smoothly with my spec in medium setting.
I have every thing in low, I disabled all reflections( road and environment).

Turning off post processing & lowering settings sorted it for me
Frustrating problem

Also experiment with the steam vr reprojection ( & the other one ) setting off/on

I have a similar issue and if i Alt Tab after every mouse click its perfectly smooth at 90 fps even with High settings and 20 cars on track .
Try Alt Tabbing once when your on track . It won't Alt Tab out of the screen , it just smoothes out the dips and pauses ???????????????#Fucnosewhy?????????????

Sorry what is steam ve reprojectiion?
I have every thing on low and PP off..... I even tried SS 90%..... it’s unplayable! It’s incredible the difference between AC in term of performance.. it’s really sad. 3 days and I can’t make a single decent lap , firsts 2 days with the steering issues and now with these VR freezes.
 
I even disabled mirrors and antialiasing. I have Radeon 580 RX( 8GB)OC the most powerful 580rx. I know it isn’t 1070ti, but it’s a very good gpu. I have 6-7 freezes every lap. I’m really giving up with Rfactor2.
 
I'm also very interesting to buy VR helmet, I will be one this week, I have one question Occulus or HTC vive have the same performance with RF2. When I see the post from GTClub_wajdi I'm litte bit afraid, perhaps occulus is not the right choice ?
So if someone have done the match beetween the both in term of framerate . thanks in advance . I 'm ready to place the order :-)
 
I think that it’s about optimization. Studio-397 simply doesn’t care about VR. In reading in other forums and a lot of people have big issues with VR in rfactor2. You need 1080ti to run it decently..... I won’t invest 1500$ for a 1080ti( yes it cost that much here in Israel and the 1070ti costs 1000$ to).

This is completely incorrect, Studio397 have improved VR performance with the last main build, they have already stated VR in the rain needs more optimisation and they are pursuing a Lock To Horizon style implementation.

Also, I and others are running VR just fine with less powerful cards than a 1080ti, I'm sorry you're having continuous issues and I hope you sort them out.
 
I run VR with a Lenovo headset and an RX480 AMD video card. Most of my settings are one down from maximum (some are lower if it's a feature I really don't care about). It runs just fine. I don't know and don't care what the numbers are for the framerate as long as I don't notice any stagger, stutter or video anomalies. I'll admit I can't run in the rain, but I can live without rain.
 
Well. Today I updated the gpu driver and it seems to be a little better. I finally managed to do some lap without any freezes, but it isn’t fluid. I don’t why,but with medium graphic setting it seems to work better than low setting.
 
It runs fine on my 1080 (FWIW I paid a lot less than $1000 for it at Christmas) as long as it's not raining and I don't get greedy with detail levels and number of opponents. The only time I have had a real problem was with Le Mans on AC where the frame rate became jerky and quickly triggered VR sickness, something that has never happened with rF2* which I play much more often.

lol , threads then in my case ;) same same but different :) whatever they are they gave me about 60% more CPU headroom in CPU limited games than my old 6600k .

When it comes to in game performance in rFactor2 you claim is placebo and nonsense.:rolleyes:
There are a lot of discussions in the S397 forums about CPU performance, how many cores, i7 or i5 etc. You don`t seem to realize that it is single core performance which counts in games and it does not mater if you have 4 or 10 cores 4th-8th generation i5 or i7 Intel CPU game performance (fps) is similar when equal processor base frequency is used.

i7-8700K
Cores 6
Threads 12
Processor Base Frequency 3.70 GHz
Turbo Frequency 4.70 GHz
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, Yes

i5-8600K
Cores 6
Threads 6
Processor Base Frequency 3.60 GHz
Turbo Frequency 4.30 GHz
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, No

The rest of the specifications are similar i7-8700K vs i5-8600K.

As you can see number of cores is equal and we also know that rFactor2 uses two cores. Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology is not needed in rF2. If you own i5-8600K the only thing you have to do is to go in BIOS and use Turbo Frequency 4.70 GHz and you have the performance of i7-8700K in rFactor2.
