VR Works!

[Invidious]

I finally got VR to work decently well with my Rift S (my quest 2 was giving me issues so I had to break out old reliable) and while it's not the prettiest screen, it gets the job done. PC specs: Ryzen 3900x, 3060 ti, 32GB DDR4 ram, all other specs are average run of the mill performance. I should add, while I was extremely excited about this update, dear god playing this game in VR is terrifying, especially when the tree is rapidly approaching. Can't wait to see it's improvements over the next few weeks/months.

I've heard people complaining about performance problems and I just bought the game to play in VR, hopefully I don't encounter a problem.

you should have saved your money and just play asetto with all the mods

Worked fine for me. I set the graphics to normal and disabled God rays, ambient occlusion, and depth of field. Didn't lag and played with traffic. Was quite fun. It even worked over air link.

I don't like Asetto.

WMR has been giving my friend trouble. My airlink wasn't powerful enough to run without serious screen tearing. It could also be because I was host and playing from one pc with one other friend. In BeamMP the performance takes a tough hit when another person joins but its manageable on low settings. I think the VR needs some more bug fixes and some more time in the oven before I would ever recommend getting the game SOLELY for VR (I absolutely love the game flat or buggy VR)

After updating from the previous version with a bunch of settings changed and a few mods installed, (and migrating them) I got dreadful single-digit framerates. After moving %LOCALAPPDATA%\BeamNG.drive\0.30 somewhere else to clear my settings, VR worked fine. I copied back the folder with my input settings (settings/inputmaps) back and it still worked. Spawning traffic gave me the same bad performance as before, even if I removed traffic afterwards. Reloading the map didn't help either, I had to restart the game entirely.

If you're having performance issues and haven't already, try resetting your settings like I described and not using traffic.

@invidious glad you got it to work decently!

I'm particularly interested to see a screenshot of your settings, bc I also run a 3060ti. My experience so far has been terrible, unless setting it to the Lowest graphics settings. I got it to run though. More than enough memory, 80gb of DDR5 (I know overkill, I use it for graphic work)

If you could post your settings, I'd appreciate! Thx!

Sure thing OtterX, I don't have any issues getting you a screenshot of my settings the next chance I get. I know for certain that everything is on normal (except dynamic reflections I need muh good mirrors lol) My PC isnt the beefiest but enough to run things above potato settings. One thing to note is that I did a boot sequence of: Launch Beam > Get to world > then plug in VR > Turn on in the settings and it should pop, no steam VR needed for me :)

I think the devs said that for the best performance to have vram over 10gb. I think my 3060 with 12 is just at the limit. Will try again today. Had a blast ramming into traffic in vr. Tumbling off a cliff was hilarious.

are you running with VD or oculus? its not going on with q2

[Invidious]

My Quest 2 wouldn't work either but I was trying to Airlink because I have a good setup for it. Its just too much data to transfer wirelessly. My Rift S would work with only oculus running but no steam vr.

[King Whiffer]

I played it with air link. While not optimal, it worked just fine for me. Couldn't get quest link to work. Kept crashing for some reason.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was my computer issue to be honest. I have had my airlink work flawlessly then turn around and be terrible in the same game. Probably a me issue lol.

VR works great when it works! I know it is stil in production but it can be a bit buggy.

Yesterday while driving my game sound just dissapeared. Just poof, gone. No it was not set out to another device, I checked twice. Other sounds kept working fine. The game was litterally no longer putting out any sound through any device just all of the sudden checking the mixer.

My camera height seems to planed to just above the car in both driver and hood view.. any fixes? Already tried seat adjust!
