How do you get this game to run smoothly?

Guys as the title states, how? I made it inside the vault and stopped playing bc I'm gonna throw up. Everything is so jittery and I even turned off AA and set everything to low. Same thing.

I looked on YouTube but the videos are all almost 3 years ago. What works?

You can upgrade your pc or If you open up the tools which tells you the milliseconds that's built into steam, make sure you bump up resolution until you hit under 12ms. anything higher might make you toss your insides out i guess. I can tolerate 24ms just fine but I usually have a fan blowing on me sometimes.

Plus I run this game at 300% supersampling. Nothing less. my ms is about 12 to 18 last I checked on my old graphics card. My new one? I have not checked. Fallout 4 VR is not optimized at all. There are some tweaks but I found them useless but could be useful to you. SOrry no link available to that info but its all over the internet if you search hard.

as ranXerox said, FO4VR is not optimized at all, you can do better with some mods, look at those advices:

I'm surprised your having issues with that rig.

I played with a lesser set up with my Rift S and it was fine.

as other poster have said there are mods to smooth up the experience but it may be that you've adjusted your core VR settings somehow.

have you used any apps to "optimise" your vr experience in other games.

Hey guys sorry I've been away. I ended up refunding the game. It sucks because there's nothing more I'd rather do than wonder an open world wasteland in VR!

I spent the last day or so getting it to an acceptable performance level on my GTX1070, so a 2070 should have been able to do well with a little tweaking. If you decide in future you want to give it another go, you can definitely get it playable, though graphically its one of the ugliest VR games I own, that may just be due to the settings I've had to use to get it running acceptably.

I'll just list off a few of the things I did to get the game playable, might help someone else later on down the track too.

First and foremost, grab OpenVR_FSR, it adds AMDS FidelityFX Super Resolution to SteamVR games, this means you can run the game at a lower resolution by default and have it upscaled with AI, this results in slightly worse image quality, but depending on your settings, can almost double framerates.

From there, there is the Fallout 4 VR optimization project, aswell as a bunch of other mods aimed at optimising other parts of the game, from combining LOD meshes and textures etc. to removing clutter items.

The other thing I had to do to get the game running as best as I could while still looking halfway presentable and feeling smooth, was run at 120fps with ASW forced on, this means I only need to hit 60fps ingame, which is much more achievable, there are some visual bugs with ASW/reprojection but at 120fps it is much less noticeable.

Previous attempts to get the game playable before OpenVR_FSR and 120fps modes for my Quest 2 were released were mostly fruitless.
