The state of VR for this game has been botched for a long time, I run Alyx and NMS and pretty much anything else VR on at LEAST good settings, usually high, and this game is a mess, it used to run great up until the VR specific update hit last year and it feels like the dev's have put VR on the backburner since.

Even with a fairly good pc able to play asgard wraith, phasmophobia is just very badly optimised, playable if you like playing at 30 fps

Hey, please post your specs and graphics settings.

Do you lag before turning on lights? Realtime lights are by far the most performance intensive feature in games and Phasmophobia uses a lot of them. None of the games you listed uses this which makes sense to why you don't lag in those.

The lags happen anytime i can see anything in vr, during the loading screens it looks fine but when the game trully appears, it's down to 10 fps, while i can play high end vr/non vr games without problem

What VR headset are you using? Are you playing with the correct OpenXR runtime? So for Oculus headsets you need to use the Oculus OpenXR runtime and not SteamVR.

You used to be able to get better frames from turning off some of the post-processing effects in settings, Iirc ambient occlusion or anti-aliasing had a really high performance cost to it, but this game has always been hella laggy in VR. If you get above 60 FPS, you're probably playing on desktop or you're lying. This game could really use a VR rework, since there are so many issues with playing in VR that don't occur in desktop mode, putting you at a massive dis-advantage.

I litterally go for the lowest graphics, and lower the resolution in steam vr to 20, which i don't think i can go lower, and i can't go over 30 fps while i can play asgard wraith with like 80 constant fps :hunted:

Do you get this same lag in singleplayer?

Even in the pre lobby yes, but on non-vr mode i can play with the best graphics at +120 fps

What's your monitor resolution? Have you tried lowering that?

1920x1080, but i don't know if changing the game resolution would help since with steam vr i already lower the resolution in the headset to like 1200pixel i think
When i normally play with like 3000x2400 in the headset on other game

Slight news, i lowered the resolution with steam vr to 1200 pixels but restarted the game after that, i have fairly stable 80 fps this time but yeah i play with like a 1280x720 res instead of the usual 3100x3100 my headset usually gives, but at least the game works ! (with max graphics in game)
