Warbly Jello Graphics
Sometimes the game looks warbly like jello when I move my hand or gun or while in the menu.

You can change the fidelity level if needed. Also make sure your headset is not higher than 90hz.

Disable Steam VR's “motion smoothing and see if that helps.

What is your hardware? CPU, GPU, RAM? Which Headset? Which OS (version)? Drivers up to date?

A high end i3, gtx 1050 ti, 16 gigs of ram, Valve Index, windows 10 and unsure about drivers but the game itself runs fine, it's the jello-like effect i want to fix.

Seems like really low specs, I'm surprised the game runs fine most of the time

Well, I mean the game is well optimized I guess and it is a higher end i3 cpu.

VR games make most use of GPU, not CPU and 1050Ti is not a great GPU for VR.

It's dipping into motion smoothing because you can't hold 90fps.

Disabling it may help but it's there to stop you throwing up, specs are really low for an index, try manually set the render resolution in steam vr lower than what you are seeing when you have issues, either check with FPSvr or steam info overlay, restart pc so steam vr takes that new starting value.

This is a recently encountered bug. I have the highest nutiest specs possible and it ran fine before the latest windows updates effed everything up. The game does not even load any more and HMD crashes after the loading screen. Wobbly jello is bug, not a performance thing
