Request Most updated VR Settings Guide

[FesterTaint]

I'm looking for the most updated vr settings guide for PC2. I purchased PC2 when it was first launched and was frustrated with the VR performance. I just repurchased with the sale. I really want to get into the game any pointers for system setup is appreciated.

Thanks!

System specs i7-7700k and 1080ti. HTC Vive.

I tried for a long time to get this game to look good in the vive but i just couldn't get it to. Compared to assetto, dirt rally etc it just always looked like a blurry mess, no matter what settings i used.
PC2 is the only VR game i have given up on and uninstalled so far. Everything else has looked amazing and performed well after some tweaking.

Thats wierd...I find it the opposite and that PC2 is probably the best VR experience I have at the moment (Rift).

Yea. I have seen others mention that about the rift as well. I think the rift handles distant stuff better than the vive in this game as well as having much better reprojection technique.

With the vive if you look around the cockpit or at anything close it looks great but for the most part you are looking in to the distance when driving and it just looks awful. Assetto looks much much better and also performs much much better.
Its hard to say with dirt rally but i think it could be that you always have environment close by that takes your focus and you usually can't see too far ahead.

For me both of those were far superior to PC2 which is a shame because it looks great on triple screens. Once you go VR there is no going back though.

I have an oculus, but my son a vive. The difference between the two (in this game) was quite noticable, IMO, whereby it looked soo much clearer on the oculus, doing side by side comparisons.

It was ages ago now, so I can't remember what I did, but I think it was 1.2/3 super sampling and turned off shadows that made the biggest difference. Shadows are nice n all, but not if you can't see anything because of them, whats the point.. although I have them on for my system, strange.
I also upped the sharpening settings in the config files.

The end result was a much clearer and comparible image, although still wasn't 1:1.

Both devices handle distant stuff quite badly, especially if its detailed distance stuff... the less detail, the clearer it is, but thats just because of the pixel density.. less is more in VR.

I have somewhere near 1400 hours clocked up in AC but I find myself in PC2 more and more these days simply because it is such a good VR experience...and yup...my 3 screens are now taken down in favor of my headset.
RWB FxUK got it right though...quite often in VR less is more.

I'll get you Butler :)

I tried diligently before giving up on it. Followed many other peoples set ups and also played around on many occasions to the point where i would play with settings for 2 hours and never actually complete one race. I just couldn't find a sweet spot for this game.

Turning off shadows definitely makes a huge difference to the VR experience. I guess that applies to most, if not all driving sims. For me they were a flickering mess on anything under the highest setting until one of the patches were released and then they were bad on the highest setting too.

I guess if you were ok with 45fps you could crank up the SS a ton and maybe that wouold do it but i personally notice any reprojection quite a bit with this game.

HI,

I have the VIVE pro and my experience is that PC2 looks awful when compared to ircaing VR.
PC2 has so many pixels at a distance, I feel I am back in the 90s playing old school arcade games.
I have an i7 7700k, RTX 2080 ti and 32 GB of ram. So one of the best configs you can get actually.
In PC2, even when I increase the SS to the max (2), I dont see much of a difference.
I think I am gonna give up on it and focus on Iracing
