Quest 3 VR Jittery

[BlackPaperTowels]

I'm having problems with the Quest 3 while using VR where, no matter what settings I choose, there is still some strange "jittery" movement even while keeping my head perfectly straight. Everything is sort of slightly "vibrating" a little, and it makes it very hard to feel comfortable. And it looks terrible.

I'm able to use the Oculus Debug tool and change whatever needed. I've tried lots of combinations of super-sampling and other settings, in-game video settings and Oculus settings. I've also tried Oculus VR via cable, Oculus VR with Air Link, Virtual Desktop with Steam VR, etc. Has anybody figured out how to make it look normal?

Do you own Quest 2 also?

Cable or Airlink?

Arilink and Wifi 6 router?

This Jittery happens on any other game?

I briefly checked out my new quest 3 and it ran smooth as butter. Previously my quest 2 had some occ slight jitteriness at times. I also thought the quest 3 had better detail. I use a cable link and have a Nvidea 3080 card

Have you ever used VR before? What framerates are you getting? Those jitters are typically reprojection artefacts, which is where the VR compiler is making "fake" frames to stick in between the real ones to make your experience smoother, but because it is just interpolating them they end up looking wierd, blurry and jittery.

You need quite a powerhouse of a computer to get even bad framerates in VR in a game like DCS.

no "jitters" here.

could it be ASW artifacts? download the "oculus tray tool" to switch it off (I'm not sure if keyboard can still enable/disable it)

I do get a pause now and then as if terrain is loading in but I had that with other headsets too.

If you get jittery "artifact". If only "part" of the image was blurred or moved around, then it could be a reprojection or ASW "fake" frames.

If your entire image vibrates in game and in VR home/desktop. It could be an IMU( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_measurement_unit ) tracking defect.
A defective IMU or logic-board can cause issues. jittery tracking can vibrate the entire view no mater what content you are in.
IMU is also very sensitive to temperature and strong EMI or magnetic interference. so check your surroundings.
I have defect oculus CV1 and Pimax have "tilted" and "vibrate" issue, fixed by replacing the logic-board. something look like this:

Google and download jitter tester, place your helmet on a flat and stable surface. NO VIBRATIONS. then run the tester software.
you can see measure how big of IMU jitter is.
if this is your issue then request a RMA. software cant fix defect IMU.

I am using a 3080 Ti, Quest 3, Airlink or Link cable...still get slight jittery when I turn my head in VR. I "suspect" it's something I tweaked along the way as I had it setup with my venerable Rift S. After dialing that in there was no jittery motion so maybe there's a setting in there that the Quest 3 doesn't like. Or a setting I need to tweak with the re-projection settings. No other games do it (Airlink or physical cable).

Well now don't I feel foolish. I totally forgot I had set DCS to my "pancake" settings as I had been messing with missions/maps, etc. in non-VR.

Changed it back and only some slight jittery on a sharp bank (using airlink). I'll try the cable later but seems like it may just need some tweaking/turning off ASW "fake" frame.

PHEW...but hey if this helps someone else worth the egg on the face....

[BlackPaperTowels]

Was my cable. Good lord. Thanks for all the responses.

[Maroszek]

Good luck! I'll try my cable later...really nice to be able to use the Air-link for VR, but sitting with the cable isn't really noticeable for me.
