Tracking jitter with Oculus Rift S only in SteamVR

[Fullyverified]

ISSUE
Some sort of jitter or micro stutter only when moving headset or controllers. Not present in any Oculus games or openvr games. Frame times completely fine, which makes me think its tracking related, but it's only present in steamvr.

Attempted steps to fix:
Reinstalled Oculus, Steam and Steamvr. Tried various USB ports and re-seated the headset cable. Using the latest AMD drivers and USB drivers are up to date.

Headset:
Oculus Rift S

OS:
Windows 10 update 2004

STEPS
Enter steamvr home or any steamvr game.
Hold controller in front of face and turn around.

RESULTS
Observe controller jitter / stutter - but the rest of the world is perfectly smooth.

EXPECTED
There is no jitter / stutter.

Yeah its still a thing for me too. I've tried everything on the planet to fix it. I've orderd a Reverb G2 so hopefuly that wont have the bug as well.
Does Valve even check this bug report forum?

This is STILL as a problem as of now. For games which work with OpenComposite you can workaround the problem. But if the game doesn't work with OC or have a native Oculus SDK mode you're SOL.

Demonstration with Space Pirate Trainer (its subtle, but way more noticeable in VR itself):

0:00 SteamVR
0:20 OpenComposite

SteamVR 1.15.15
CPU: Ryzen 7 3800XT
GPU: GTX 1660 Super (DDU > Clean Install Driver 446.14 - Recommended by Valve, still has issues.)

Performance metrics are fine in SteamVR, showing frametimes in green and within requirements for the headset (12.5ms/80hz), it really just seems to be a tracking/sync issue that isn't a problem in OpenComposite and native Oculus, for whatever reason.

Yep, I never ended up being able to fix it. I ended up selling my Rift S a few days ago since my Reverb G2 is arriving tuesday.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Waistless's video summed it up perfectly. Guess I'll have to use OpenComposite for now.

SteamVR: 1.15.15
CPU: i5 9600k
GPU RTX 2080 OC
Headset: Oculus Quest 2 & Oculus Rift S

I'm experiencing the very same with my Quest 2 over Oculus Link.

Things I have tried:
- updating everything to the newest Version available
- changing priority of OVRServer.exe to high
- downgrading my Nvidia driver to 446 as there is a VR related bug in 460
- setting render resolutions to 100% in SteamVR and Oculus Link
- disabling supersampling in SteamVR settings
- resetting all changes I've made through the Oculus Debug Tool
- changing the USB cable
- disabling vsync in Nvidia Control Panel
- uninstalling geforce experience (it was never installed)
- making sure every game overlay there is on my pc is disabled
- reinstalling Windows with nothing installed except Oculus and Steam

PC-Specs:
- r5 3600
- GTX 1070Ti
- 16gb @ 3000mhz
- all VR games installed on SSD
- USB 3.1 cable with 2.5Gbs for Oculus Link
- Windows 10 v2004

I hope a dev will look into this. I can provide some logs if needed.

I experience the same thing, though much more severe. I made a post in December and haven't heard anything.

That's so bad it might even be a different issue then what I was experiencing. At this point we still haven't heard anything from Valve, I don't think it will ever be fixed.

I've set up Virtual Desktop on my Quest now and apart from the latency spikes due to the shotty networking in my house, these tracking stutters don't seem to appear there.

[mikkusxd]

I have the exact same issue. :-(

[phino]

BUMP as this is still not fixed with SteamVR Beta 1.16.2

same... only opencomposite can fix those stuttering in Beat Saber, unfortunately not in HL alyx

[SIMON]

Same issue using Quest 2 over oculus Link

[Puppet]

Same here. I have Oculus Quest 2 for 2 months. I play wiraless. But this problem just came today (02.02.2021). I just see Black Borders while moving head.

I'm having the same issue with micro stutters or jitter in the controller tracking. I'm getting consistent framerate 90fps with overhead so it definitely isnt ASW. Oculus home is fine and its even smooth in Virtual Desktop. It only happens when running steamvr over Oculus Link.

Waistless's video is the perfect example of the issue. Visually its slight but it makes the tracking feel rough. I also noticed that it seems to come and go in waves of sorts. It will gradually go from minimal to bad and continue cycling. Its like the tracking timing is out of sync or something

Exact same issue, it's making Half Life Alyx completely unplayable for me.
