Quest 2 Vr is unplayable

[VVVROMAN29]

2 days ago i started playing phas on vr again and it was working smooth, barely lagging at all. Now, I'm at a constant 3 frames a second the moment I start loading into the game. It is unplayable on vr, but perfect just playing on PC. Anyone have an idea why this happened?

Hey, make sure you are using the Oculus OpenXR runtime and not SteamVR. You can set this in the Oculus software settings page.

Mine is really bad also. Not 3fps but what used to run a smooth 60 is now a nauseating 15 or so. OpenXR is set correctly as well.

This doesn't fix anything. Please fix your game. It used to run fine.

i just got my first vr being the Meta Quest 2, no issues at all, both Wired and Wireless, check your driver's most likely an issue on your end

Does setting FidelityFX to Balanced or lower fix it for you? Something was busted with the Unity version update that added the new shop UI and VR performance has been crummy across multiple types of headsets since.

This dev response has me concerned, because as a Virtual Desktop user, we aren't allowed to use this option.

I’m pretty sure that when using Virtual Desktop you should just leave SteamVR as your default OpenXR runtime. VD doesn’t have access to the official Oculus sdk’s so I doubt that it can use the Oculus OpenXR runtime anyway.

If the Phasmo devs changed something recently to auto-assign some sort of built-in Unity/Meta plugin, or generally lazy-mode the game to look for that Oculus OpenXR to be what we're connecting with, then that would go a long way to explain why VR performance has suddenly tanked so hard. I think launching the game from VDesk's built-in game tab tries to accommodate for this sort of stuff, but there is DEFINITELY something wrong with the VR mode in Phasmo that only started happening after the 0.9.4.1 update.

I cannot for the life of me isolate down why this is happening either - I noticed there's a new option in SteamVR's advanced settings to either Off|Auto|On some of the Meta plugin stuff, so next time I play I'm gonna try that, but it's really got me pulling my hair out.
