Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

[Svsmokey]

I hope to use mine for more aa , flat terrain shadows .

Offcourse. Terrain engine optimize the whole simulation and for sure not only VR! :D

 

Are you sure ? He said he found an issue, not he made optimizacion.

Maybe the issue is related to VR, that you must render the image twice, and something related to terrain was made twice too without being needed, and the improvement is only for VR.

 

Maybe not, but don't hype people, he just said 50% improvement on VR.

I just saw that Oculus released ASW 2.0. Wondering if this will be available in DCS as they said developers need to provide depth data for it to work.

[Ishbob88]

I also saw ASW 2.0 was released today. ED, please utilize this new tech as soon as possible. With a 50% increase in performance and ASW 2.0 we could have an amazing experience.

I am so hoping this performance gain for VR in DCS finds it's way into the next Open Beta Update!

It would definitely increase my gaming time in DCS!

[John Hargreaves]

I agree it must be incoming quite soon, it doesn't make sense to announce it otherwise.

I concur . Torches and pitchforks would ensue after such a tease with a lengthy interval before release . What exciting times for DCS and VR , with the new headsets around the corner and DCS performance sufficient to run them !

Hey everyone,

 

Earlier we mentioned that we have been working on DCS VR optimization. I have good news today! After much investigation and work, we traced the issue back to the terrain engine. We have since adjusted the terrain engine, and this has resulted in a 50% increase in VR performance! We will continue to test and optimize this further, but we hope to have this great improvement to you soon.

 

Thanks

 

Wags, I've never kissed a man before, but I could kiss you now! :D:D

[nrosko]

I don't think ASW 2.0 is released yet its not in the latest beta update so maybe it will get a seperate update.

Also eagerly waiting the VR performance gains in DCS.

[Revs]

I was nervously reading back to the original post thinking it was posted from April 1, more so when the I get to page 234 with top post date of April 1. like reading a thriller story, glad it's got happy ending. LOL

F-14 Tomcat released AND a 50% performance improvement in VR...I love you guys!!!

Great time to be getting back into DCS!

[sirrah]

50%! :shocking:

That's incredible!

 

Any official statement from ED yet on when we can expect this tweak to be implemented?

[Svsmokey]

"Soon"

[dburne]

"Soon"

 

Yeah but soon in ED time...

 

I sure hope it makes it to the next Open Beta Update.

[sirrah]

Being quite happy with my current settings and corresponding fps, I wonder if with this performance improvement I'd be able to significantly increase PD whilst keeping the same fps.

Maybe then we can actually read gauges in the F-14 :D

In the mean time, stuff like this helps... :thumbup:

Do you happen to have one for the F-18?

Was a long wait to see something positive in this regard, great news indeed. What time scale you refer here as soon btw?...days?..weeks?

[SonofEil]

I’m totally gonna nullify those gains by quadrupling my pixel count with a new headset. ; )

 

Seriously though, a 50% performance improvement is an incredible claim. Experience has taught me to be skeptical of those, and very skeptical of the word “soon”. Here’s hoping this is the exception!

As soon as we can. The Caucasus map has been optimized and the team is now working on the other maps. Once all are done and carefully tested, we'll release as part of an Open Beta.

 

Thanks!

Great.

Making plans for my VR headset.

Thank you.

From what I understand - they (ED) have optimized certain areas of the maps where the VR performance was suffering from the engine 'imperfections' etc. That does not mean we will see 50% fps boost :) everywhere, just some areas. I hope I'm wrong though :)

Hi Wags,

 

Since the Caucasus map is done, can you provide info on what exactly you mean by "50% increase in VR performance"? Is it in most areas or certain areas of the map? Does this include populated areas such as airbases, cities, etc? Is it an actual frames increase?

 

Thanks in advance!!!

[boedha68]

I expect a Total increase. I think that in the terrain things were double projected. So performance decrease. By optimizing the bottleneck we getting a huge boost overall. But that’s my opinion.
