This game runs like garbage on my 2080 Super
EDIT I now believe it is not an issue with my graphics card, but something wrong with the controllers. my hands will freeze in place and i can only rotate them

I have a 2080 super and an i7 9700k running at 5 gHz, and this game runs like actual trash, on thew lowest settings. could it be that i am playing it on an Occulus Rift S?

I believe the Oculus is not doing any (or much at all) computing. It should just be an input and output with very little data to process if any. It should be no different processing data for this game as any other from the perspective of your headset. I would check for PC hardware/software issues long before getting into testing different headsets.

My rift S worked fine with a GTX1070 until one part where I had some low FPS, but that part was just like half a chapter

What frame rate are you using? I just got a 2080 Super and started HL:Alyx tonight running at 120Hz and the highest settings and it seemed to run fine. I have a somewhat older processor, so dont think that would make a difference. Not sure if this would make a difference, but are you running off a SSD?

The game in terms of frames will be processing all of its logic to and from RAM. Possibly too low of RAM. Its an easy thing to check. But that would be kinda strange to have that hardware but not enough RAM for this game.

i7-2700K CPU @ 3.50GHz (8 CPUs) (8years old);16gb Ram DDR3 (same age), Titan Xp Pro 12Gb (2years), + Vive. I play on Highest settings, nearly any game, (except Arma 3; CPU heavy) fluid. I don´t think its the game´s or dev´s bad. Just an example. :)

Index.

I also have issues. In fact, a lot of us seem to

Check this thread out, some of the solutions 'may' help you:

I dont think the Oculus Rift is the problem, because i own the Same one and the game works perfect for me. I have a GTX 1060 and i dont get any lags on medium settings.

Agree, I have an Rift S and also "only" a 1080TI / i7 6950x and all works fine too. Constant 90 FPS on Ultra Settings (i have locked my FPS on 90 in my Nvidia Control Panel, because for my RIFT S / Games I do not need more FPS).

And my System is not overclocked because i see no sense to do this (unnecessarily more heat, down clocking bec of more heat for maybe 5 or 10 FPs more ? No thx).

From 8x3,6 GHZ to 8x5GHZ , maybe this is his Problem (bad overclocking, wrong voltages, Throttle or Limiting Issues ?). However, the Rift S is not the Problem and I can not confirm too that the Rift S causes Problems

My Driver Version : 446.14 WHQL

i think that your rig is too powerful for source 2 lol

Your system is substantially better than mine. One thing I've found is I can not have any other program open (aside from the Oculus software). When I try to listen to a podcast on YT I get really weird stuttering. My hardware should be able to handle doing both so perhaps you've got something running in the background that isn't playing nice?

I had issues finding a compatible USB 3.0 PCIe Card, Oculus is know for being a little tetchy about USB chipsets.

Game runs great with 3900x, 32GB RAM @ 3000mhz, and a Radeon VII with my Rift S (game is installed on a NVME ssd dunno if that matters).

Put this in the launch options:

-console -vconsole +vr_fidelity_level_auto 0 +vr_fidelity_level 3

See if that helps

Also make sure your memory is running in dual mode/channel.

If you have Sonic studio installed than disable it before starting steamvr.

Try running steamvr in beta mode.

Don't overclock your Cpu and see if that helps.

Check your system temperatures to see if it's not getting to hot.

idk if it is a problem with the controlers, because the game runs ok, the hands just freeze in place and i can only rotate them
