F1-22 VR Stuttering - **SOLVED**

[Salted Canine]

Hi All,

I've started playing F1-22 with the following PC/headset specs:

PC:
* Ryzen 3950x;
* Nividia GTX 2080TI waterforce
* 32gb DDR4 RAM
* Windows 10

Headset:
* HP Reverb G2 (Version 2) (brand new - 2 days old).

Wheel/Pedals:
* Thurstmaster T300 wheelbase/pedals;
* SF1000 wheel add-on.

Issue:
When I keep my head still while using VR; there is no stuttering at all, it's very smooth.
When I look around, I get a very strange stutter/jitter. This issue does not come up anywhere else (i.e. Windows Mixed Reality/Steam VR etc) and I only experience this when in the car (not on any loading screens).

What have I tried?

* Updated GPU driver - did not fix the issue;
* Reviewed Steam VR settings and aligned each eye resolution to the default specs;
* Decreased all settings to LOW in SeamVR;
* Turned off motion support in SteamVR;
* Reviewed Nividia GPU settings (using a YT video for support);
* Updated firmware in the headset.
* Googled/youtubed and attempted to follow some of the fixes out there in videos and forums - did not fix the issue.

* Contacted HP support; they suggested trying to replace the input cable into the headset. This seems like an off-hand 'fix' as they don't know how to support.

* Contacted EA support; they didn't even know what VR was, seriously - she sent me a link to a UK train service called VR.

Now I'm here.

Would seriously appreciate any support you guys can provide.

Regards,

Salted

Everyone has this either ignore it or wait for f1 23

Is your headset/VR cable long enough make sure you are not pulling on it. Also check the sockets they are plugged into for loose connections,

I had some success by changing the Sound settings to Wiindows default in SteamVR and Oculus app instead of my Quest 2. It almost disappeared completly except while standing in the garage where there is still a bit of stuttering left. It might just be coincidence but since it was the last settings change i applied and it worked afterwards it might be worth a try.

It's because this game wasn't built for vr. The engine it was built on sucks and there's no optimisation, you have to load textures every time u look at them. Vr got outsourced and is basically just a glorified dlc so, best u can do is wait for F123 where hopefully they do it right

Hey mate, yes it is, 6M long and I'm right next to my PC where my wheel is setup.
Also plugged into the USB-C port in the mobo.

UPDATE - Potential Solution/Fix:

I found the following steps significantly improved the stuttering but hasn't completely removed it. With this adjustment, I do not notice the stuttering at all when driving and only slightly when in garage:

In game > Settings > VR Settings > Override Steam Scaling Values > TURN OFF.

Open Steam VR > Video > Render Resolution > Custom > Change to headsets default value (for the HP Reverb G2 it's 2160x2160/approx 47%).

This alone has made a significant difference to the gameplay using VR but hasn't fixed it 100%.
Hopefully this helps others out there; until next time - we wait for F1-23 and hope EA don't butcher it.

doesn't stop it from being blurry as ♥♥♥♥, even on ultra settings on a quest 2

you really notice how bad the VR graphics are for this game when you flick over to another VR game

[Cablelag]

make sure you're running steamVR Beta too,

This could help a few people with the VR stuttering especially before races.
I've got a rtx 3070, Ryzen 5 3500x, 16 gb 3200 ram

1/ Use the ''open composite'' method if you have an Oculus headset and follow the steps posted above on here.,follow the instructions.

2/ PUT the first 4 settings to medium, and all others to low in the graphics menu>lighting/post/shadows/textures (higher or lower depending on hardware)

*Most importantly, the last option in the game graphics menu TEXTURE STREAMING, set to *ULTRA HIGH*, and that immediately sorted out 90% of that terrible jittery effect on the grid.(i haven't tested in the pits yet, but i guess it's OK)

3 /Install Oculus Tray tool and 'force ASW OFF' for this game, and go to the 'visual Hud' setting and select 'Performance' to monitor your fps and GPU headroom.

4/ open NVIDIA panel>high performance GPU> VR pre-rendered frames =3.

I was completely surprised by the results(at Singapore) the jitter was gone moving my head around on the grid , performance was 90 fps /headroom around +6% to -10%.
During the race it was a stable 90 for the most part with +6 to-15% headroom, only when the game engine has that known split second slowdown , you'll see a slight dip but nothing terrible.

When i just used open composite with ASW is was less than stellar, but with all the above it's a great VR title once you've got it working.
Before I did this the track intro, and on the grid,was locked at 45 -90 fps with fluctuation all over the place,.
It's a no-brainer that different hardware causes different results, but hope it helps a few people.

Dude that's nowhere near default value for reverb G2 lol. It's meant to be set to 100 percent in steam VR.

All you've done is massively decrease your resolution...

No wonder it now runs better haha!

Iv'e solved my VR issues by not using dlss or fsr
