    Hi, I have been running OpenXR Beta 4.0 since release and I have not experienced the same issues that are present in the Stable release code. 90fps and 90hz. We are expecting the Beta to be concluded in July and the RC updated.

    HI, welcome to the VR1 club, suggest you take a quick look at the thread here ref the Somnium VR1 or come over to the Somnium VR1 Discord site. I had my VR1 Titan since inital release in December, OpenXR support is working by default with VR1 Software, but you need to be aware that the current / original VR1 OpenXR driver has some issues, these problems were identified by the VR1 community immed on release and Somnium acknowledged these issues and have with their Beta program address 99% of our concerns. Currently very happy running 90fps at 90hz using Beta 4. Happy to help just post any questions you have.

    If you are using Beta 4.0 there is a new option under the Eye Tracking section to toggle Lens Inserts On, may help, but I am also looking at how to best use ET. Using the VR1 ET Trail visualisation I can see my eyes are being tracked. All the updates to the software are having a positive impact on daily VR1 usage in DCS.

    Just been able to try Beta 4.0, DCS is looking good, Eye Calibration is working with prescription lens inserts now. Checking to see how ET performs.

    Been helping some fellow VR1 owners dial in their settings to exploit VR1 under Beta 3.0 good feedback from Somnium team making good progress with openXR.

    Ok sad to here your experiences have not met your expectations, so what headset is now your goto daily driver ?
  7. evanswillo
    How are we all doing ? I have been using the beta 3.0 some minor issues but at least I am up and flying.
  8. evanswillo
    I have the Titan version so between us we should be able to be of assistance once headset arrives, please tell us your PC specs.

    Hi no updates ? hope all is well, thinking about changing 7800X3D for a 9800X3D

    Hi, yes just trying out the inbuilt up scaling option as this should be fully integrated into the Beta Somnium runtime and in theory should provide better performance rather than using an up scaling option at the application level. I do think that the advances we have seen in DLSS4 however outweighs approach, its a shame that nvidea and amd will not include their latest up scaling tech in the SDK so hardware providers could integrate into the runtime. Yes steam is not part of the current beta. Hopefully next update will help more.

    I am lucky my PC is simply for DCS / MS2020 so I am more than happy to lay down a fresh install of windows when ever I feel a massive change has been made. So all my WMR stuff was gone and a fresh install of VR1 software and Steam applied. I would check your SteamVR OpenXR runtimes are correct and your Steam setting are not conflicting with the VR1 resolution options. Really comes down to your preference on frametime / fps some people are happy to go for a low fps longer frametime for better quality, for me at the moment with this beta I am looking to stabilize my frametime to ensure a solid 72fps 72hz 13.88 ms as DFR and FFR become available I should in theory be able to increase the resolution. I have seen a lot of people asking the VR1 to display a resolution was above what their rigs can maintain a decent fps at and run into crashes and difficulties For now the beta is still taking small step forward, lets see what come in the next weeks.

    I had the Reverb G2 before moving the the VR1, I was on the VR1 train from day 1. I found the VR1 tended to drop and tilt down with the stock head strap and the only solution was to tighten it well beyond comfortable. The BOBOVR M2 was a straight swap out for the default and the weight of the VR1 is countered by the Halo and some extra weight I have added. I will not altered the image with the VR1 UI until we get the openXR runtime fully integrated and using eye tracking. At the moment I am working through the beta trying the included upscaling as DLSS4 is still giving me some ghosting.
  13. evanswillo
    As far as fit is concerned I have switched out the stock Head strap for the BOBOVR M2 Plus Head Strap and added some extra weight to balance the Headset. If this is under SteamVR 80% Render is good if you can maintain the fps, are you using DLSS 4 preset K, Quality or Balanced. Artur will always say the user will take time to adjust to the VR1 visuals. I take it you have no need for lens inserts.

    Welcome to the VR1 journey, the beta is only testing the openXR runtime function and will improve as features of the VR1 are added to the beta test. Prior to the beta program the original openXR had serious issues with multiple error messages and crashes, the beta is stable and locks the fps to the selected freq of the headset. The SteamVR runtime is a good starting point, I am surprised you are saying the VR1 image quality is lower than a reverb G2. May I ask what VR1 resolution you are running and what scaling you are trying.

    A setup guide was released alongside the Beta this week. Checkout the discord site VR1 announcements. But yes the VR1 openXR runtime would have been installed at time you first launched the UI, you can always go back to the Software tab and refresh in the VR1 UI. Let me know how you get on
