VR Shaders mod for better VR experience

[imacken]

I am getting an insane amount of stuttering in the game now. This mod gives me the weird water artifact again, so going to wait until it gets updated.

 

Are you using the clear water version? No problems with it here.

[Hammer1-1]

the latest. I didnt update anything, but now I got clouds and trails being traced in the water again when I move my head. I dont have the water mod.

this is what i am seeing, in VR it is much more vivid

Is the original mod or the clear water mod?

[speed-of-heat]

the clear water mod, you dont get the problem with the original mod, but you also dont get transparent water

[Eagle_01]

There is a version out there that passes IC, but you will lose the clear water, unless you can mod it to have clear water.

 

Its quite old though. This came out just about when the first 2.5.6 came out

From your signature I can see that we have almost the same Gear. What steam vr SS do you use? I have my DCS PD set to 1.0 and Steam vr SS to 200%. Cant get any lower then that cause if I do, Im not able to see far objects sharp. Unfortunatly DCS framerate for VR is a joke since 2.5.6 and the new light system...

My system is a wee bit older than yours, running i7 8700k@4.5Ghz and a GTX1070Ti

Im not using the clear water mod as yet, as my frames are still not high enough to take a reasonable hit in MP or busy SP missions and remain playable.

 

Can I ask what settings you are using in game?

I currently run my steam ss at 100% in game PD at 1.0.

 

 

Your symptoms point to a misconfiguration in your nvidia settings , make sure texture filtering quality is set to HIGH PERFORMANCE

It Will lower the quality but I will give it a shot. Would you be So kind and raise your steam vr SS to 200 and tell me if there is a FPS difference. 200 % is a common settin for DCS with Gear as ours. Lets experiment a bit ;)

[speed-of-heat]

The texture quality setting is counter intuitive, but essentially it dithers the edges making it less clear when you set it to quality.

 

Moving to 200% shockingly did decrease my performance, GPU frametimes went up from about 14ms to about 18-19ms which what happens when you move from 4.6m pixels to 9m

Yep, I always run at 200%. I tried going back to 100% with this new patch, but I just couldn't leave it at that. I find the visual quality at 200% too much to give up.

 

I still have questions:

1) do we need to have MSAA switched on in graphic settings for the MSAA mask to work (either ED or Kegetys version). I know it sounds like a stupid question, but it's possible the mask process may be doing it's own AA.

2) how does the Kegetys MSAA mask affect the ED option and vice versa. Should we have one of them off? What values are best for both?

3) how are people finding this new patch and the mask option without using the Shaders Mod?

Over 9 mln pixels is a native HP Reverb res. Correct me if Im wrong but having steam vr SS set to 100% does not squeaze Reverb to Its max potential. As Imacken said. I just cant get any lower then 200% steam vr SS. This is why the Reverb is way above other headset. Running it set to 100% first time I was really disapointed, compairing it to Oculus Rift S few days earlier. I wish I could set msaa to 2x for less shimmering but Its impossible since ED messed up the framerate with 2.5.6. S!

4.6 million per eye, i was quoting per eye , you will go to something like 18m all up at ss 200%

Nobody got any thoughts on my questions above in #1522?

[speed-of-heat]

i can answer 3) if you turn off either shadows or AA and mirrors its OK, there is a still a significant improvement about 2ms in GPU frametime reduction using Kegety's mod. and if i could get it to run in IC pass mode i likely would

 

I suspect 1 is yes you do have have them turned on i game, but i havent tested it

Stuart,

Just looked at the settings in your signature. It doesn't look like you are running SteamVR at 100%, more like 125%.

[speed-of-heat]

yes those are historical 2.5.5 , sorry i havent gotten around to updating them yet

[huligan]

What is it in _HMD.hlsl ?

Is this mod still working with the latest open beta? If it is what settings should I use for the new VR mask option?

Yeah Id like to know this as well. I'm reinstalling DCS with my new Valve Index.

 

I came across the mod when seeing how to fix the perfomance issues in VR but I had open beta installed and figured I couldn't use the mod with the open beta.

 

What version of the mode will work with what DCS versions

[speed-of-heat]

It works, provided you don’t need to pass the integrity check for online games

[kraszus]

It works,...

 

Even with the newest open beta build?
