No man's sky vr unplayable due to stuttering lag.

[DR.Potato]

My specs
I9 9900k
Radeon 5700 XT
16gb ram

This is the only vr game I have a problem with.
The game lags badly and stutters especially when moving my head. Changing the graphics setting from standard to ultra makes a very minimal difference, I noticed on the steam vr graph it was showing alot of purple lines. I went into advanced timing view and could see that my CPU was causing alot of the spikes. How is this possible when I have one of the most powerful Intel chips you can buy?

Is there any fix to this because the game is a stuttering mess.

I have a Radeon RX5600 XT and I have this exact issue too. Did you figure out how to fix it? I wonder if it has anything to do with my PC also putting up an instance of the game on my monitor. I also noticed it seems like the mouse cursor gets stuck in the middle of the screen, and when I move it head the screen wants to pop back to the middle, which is what I think is causing the stuttering. I think turning down the settings will help but it doesn't address the root cause.

If running on AMD GPU try the latest steamvr beta - a fix for AMD GPU's and vulkan (what NMS runs on) was released into beta about a week ago, and seems to fix the jitter.

It actually enables me to run the game on ultra with little to no issue. amazing what a update can do.

Hi !
I got an Oculus Quest 2, two days ago.
My specs are good enough i think to run vr game correctly ( rtx 2060, i5 9600K, 16gb of ram ...)

I have no problem when I use Oculus Link in game, expect on one, where i can't reset my position without finish in the floor. But no problems on the perf for the moment.

But for nms it's different, I can sometime play it a little bit and after few second or minute ( if I'm lucky ), I saw big stuttering, purple thing on the vr graphic ( sometime he's fully red ).

I start to look video where people say, that they found THE solution ! And reproduce what they did ( lower graphic etc)


Today, as I got a Quest 2 and a good connection.
I decided to connect with ALVR my Quest 2 to my computer.

I try few games, who worked as good as in Link (just the quality was a bit lower, didn't research for the best quality yet ) and the big suprise is that even nms work fine !
I first thought it was because I changed graphics yesterday, so after a couple of minute of playing the game in wifi ( with no issue ).
I finaly decided to use link for play nms and see if there were a big difference of compression between wifi and link.
But, again same problem stuttering, vr graphic fully red.

So ! I start to thought that maybe it's not steam vr or my computer that have a problem with nms.
But the Oculus software. Without personally, the game works fine and with I have issues.

Don't know if with the Rift S you have the same software as Quest 2 but if you have the same. For me i can't play nms with this software but it work fine in wifi when i'm using sidequest.

Wrong thread for that. You're gonna have to start one yourself as this is for issues with the Valve Index. Sorry, mate.

The OP talks about VR in general, no mention of any specific headsets.

[PeaceMaker]

Run Taskmaster and see what`s running that shiouldn`t.

I have the exact same issue. I was running NMS fine on an Oculus Rift S and decided to "upgrade" to the Valve Index. All of my other games work just fine. I tried changing the settings and opted in for the StreamVR Beta update. No difference.
My system is a Dell XPS 8900 with a GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER video card, 8GB, driver version 460.89, Intel Core i7-6700 CPU with 16GB of memory.

FYI, the fix suggested in the second or so post about changing the min/max threads doesn't seem to work for me as those value just get reset every time I run the game. This was running smooth at one point and then stopped. I'm wondering if it's GeForce drivers since that's about all I've changed besides the game itself updating.

RTX3080,i7-8700k,32GB RAM, WIN10 - the promlem is 100% isnt my PC (duh), but the game runs terribly :(

[DR.Potato]

I have a reverb g2 and now no mans sky wont even run LOL

[Weaver]

I haven't played it in VR in a couple months but on a RTX2070 Ryzen 7 2700, 16GB RAM at medium-high settings on a Rift S I had no issue in the past. It is admittedly the only VR game I can't crank up to maximum, but due to the nature of the game with voxels and construction and the sheer scope of things this is hardly surprising.

[Hypercoyote]

I just did some research and posted it under the topic "Advice on VR Settings to Fix Graphics" that I think will help out some others.
