Lag/Choppy FPS at random

[Moichly]

So I've got the Rift S and have an issue with lag. It happens totally at random in different places and at different times. It's making the game very unplayable as it is all the time! When I move my head around and walk about the screen gets all choppy and laggy, like it's only a few frames a second. I used the recommended graphics settings, I'm using Oculus Beta drivers, updated Nvidia, cleared out temp files, minimalised the screen and many other things but it's still happening. Anyone else or ideas?

what are your specs?

do you have your headset plugged into your motherboard isntead of your GPU?

a little more info is always helpful, if you aren't certain of your specs you can find them on steam via help --> system information.

Sure thing:
Windows 10 64bit
Geforce GTX 980
16326mb Ram
Intel i7-4790K - 4ghz

Definitely not plugged into the motherboard.

well it was a shot in the dark anyways, I haven't encountered any problems myself yet so all I can do is guess, but at least we know its not a hardware specific issue now.

however since you are on the lower side of specs it might be the ASW feature kicking in? again, total shot in the dark

I'll try turning off ASW tomorrow and see if it helps at all!

1. Has your game ever ran smooth or has the issue just started?
2.Is your anti-virus downloading/running during play interrupting the game?
3. Have you tried playing with the non-Beta version of Oculus drivers?
4. Try double checking your Rift S connection to make sure all is secure. Swap USB connector to another one.

I have a feeling its the ASW that was mentioned earlier. I've dropped it down to 45FPS but still get a bit of lag when attacking a zombie from time to time. I'll try turning it off totally and see what happens. But to answer your questions.

1) Only does it in certain areas and at random times. Not through the whole game.
2) No, turned it off to test.
3) Yes, using them at the moment.
4) Connection seems fine but I'll try another port.

Does oculus have monitoring software like FPSVR so you can watch frametimes, usage levels for your gpu/cpu/ram etc while ingame?
