New Update -> Extreme VRAM usage + performance drops - only in VR ?
With the latest update i noticed massive performance drops using my default settings for VR with the Quest 2 / Pico 4 on my RTX 3070 with 8 GB VRAM. Highest Resolution, SSW and DLSS set to Performance. This setting worked perfectly before the latest update.

Now the VRAM rises up to maximum very quickly, making the game unplayable. Even lowering the resolution causes VRAM to rise to max after a while resulting in constant stuttering.

It seems like a general issue, but maybe this is more present in VR because of the higher resolution and VRAM usage in general.

It's definitely not unique to VR, though I'm willing to guess it's much more pronounced on VR. Since the update I've noticed non-insignificant slowdowns in particle-heavy situations (such as my fully-grown freighter farm) that are worse than usual. But, this is nothing new. Every new update performance tanks a bit and they refine it over a week or so.

Im on flatscreen have 60 fps as always, but sometime i have fps drops.
But in VR performance get way worse, im too play on Oculus Quest 2, and its just terrible now, i just set everything on Low and set dlss on Ultra Performance, it helped me a lot but now picture is less good, then it was before update.
Also staff in VR is disapointed me, i completed quest for it, and its just bad, character hold it like a gun, lol.

i hope it will do. In fact VR became much better with the previous updates and i could play at a very high quality without significant issues on my RTX 3070. HG obvisouly improved quite a lot, but with this new update the game has become unplayable in VR, even if i lower the quality.
