spike2450 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Hi all, Can any Rift users share tneir VR settings for 2.5,. I've cleared my Options Lua file and started again and have gone back to Jabbers settings. I know it is machine dependant, but good to know what you have found that improves the frame rate etc. Edited January 30, 2018 by spike2450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drexx Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) load a local game on the tarmac, and go back and forth changing settings, in 30 mins to an hour, tell us your findings, I have to do this everytime a big update like this happens, use cntrl+pause to see fps and use that to judge Edited January 30, 2018 by Drexx Developer of DDCS MP Engine, dynamicdcs.com https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=208608 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayos Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I only had time to do a 10 min flight before I went to work but with out any settings changes I was getting around 25 fps which is a lot lower than before. And lower than 2.0 For some reason it was very smooth though. Odd. I'll play with some settings when I get home. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravencraft Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 After tinkering with many settings, this is where I am satisfied enough to play. I am maintaining 45 fps in the Huey Free Flight mission that I was using to test with. Deferred Shading was too much of a hit for me. I have in game Pixel Density set to 1.3 which reduces jaggy edges enough for me with no MSAA.

I am using MFAA at 4x. Sorry if it's hard to see, screen shots suck on a 4k monitor when trying to increase size.

Ryder35 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Just had a quick play before work. Very smooth (i7 8700 and 1080ti). Trees look quite blotchy and flat though, not at all like in the videos. Have not touched graphic settings...which one controls the look of foliage?

GurbY Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Quick question, in the 1.5 and 2.2 version there was a possibility to make a shortcut with "--force_disable_VR" so you could start the game without VR when you're rift was detected. However, when I add this to the new shortcuts, it gives me "invalid command". Anyone tried this and perhaps a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katdog 5.0 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I've cleared the files too. Not sure if they did anything, but good practice Im guessing...maybe helped with trees rendering, not sure. Im at 90fps with a 1.0pd in an empty map with the following settings and Deferred Shading On. Just enjoying flying around.

Haukka81 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Why your and others option menu is curved? For me its completely flat. How to get it curved? Anyone here with 1060 6gb ?

StrongHarm Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) **Disregard this post and go HERE for a full thread with updated information. After a lot of research, I think I've found the sweet spot for my system. I tested in a map that I created specifically for the purpose. There are a lot of F10 radio commands you can use to add and remove assets, etc. I'll post it up in user files as soon as I tweak it a bit. MY SYSTEM: i7-5960x, 16g RAM, EVGA 1080ti FTW3, Samsung 850 pro 1Tb SSD (dedicated), Samsung 850 pro 500Gb OS drive, Oculus Rift CV1. TESTING NOTE: Before testing I deleted the files from "..\Saved Games\DCS\FXO and .\metashaders". I don't know why DCS acts up if these files aren't purged periodically, but it can make a big difference. PREFACE: I'm not going to bore you with my logic for each and every setting in the pic, as most of it is personal preference. I will say that Grass = FULL is not good for FPS, but I fly low level a lot and I think it looks sweet. Most other settings are a compromise between quality and performance. SWEET SPOT INGREDIENTS: VR PD = 1.2 MSAA = 2x Anisotropic Filtering = 2x Deferred Shading = ON Terrain Shadows = FLAT Cockpit Global Illumination = ON MSAA DISCUSSION: I know most people keep MSAA off, and I used to in VR as well, but the key is that if you lower your VR PD to 1.2, MSAA does not create a big performance hit. PD being at 1.2 has very little effect on the clarity of the gauges *as long as* you have MSAA at 2x and AF at 2x. With PD at 1.2 and MSAA off the world is jagged and the gauges are blurry. HIGH QUALITY HIGH PERFORMANCE: With the combination of PD 1.2, MSAA 2x, and AF 2x, and Deferred shading on, the graphics quality is superb and there's no lag or edge bleed in VR. My FPS is 90 in an empty NTTR map, and doesn't decrease to 45 until I have a few dozen active assets in map or fly into Vegas. My average minimum FPS is 45 stable and doesn't get lower until I throw something crazy at it (like having 5 Bones drop a few hundred MK-82s at once), and even then it only drops down to 30 for a few seconds then it's right back up to 45. I'm sure I could tweak it to maintain 90 FPS, but I'm not willing to compromise the high quality graphics. What ED has achieved really is quite breathtaking (exceeds shorn scrotum). PRELOAD RADIUS: You'll notice that my Preload Radius slider is all the way left. I've read a lot of posts recently about how people are resolving issues by decreasing this setting. I decided to investigate and retested with several values. The more I slid it back, the better my performance got. I ended up with it at minimum. Take note though, that I am using a very fast SSD which is dedicated to DCS. You may not get the same results. I would check it at 25% increments and retest. Perhaps the cache mechanism is broken right now, or was interfered with by a recent OS update.. who knows. LOW END SYSTEMS: Also, be aware that going above HIGH for Vis Range is a big performance hit, and really doesn't do much anyway. If your system isn't high end and you need to squeeze some more FPS out of it, make these settings different than mine: Vis Range = Medium Terrain Textures = Medium Heat Blur = OFF Shadows = Medium Grass = OFF Chimney Density = 1 Edited February 15, 2018 by StrongHarm 1 It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
