NakedSquirrel Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 As I have indicated earlier going through the logs there was a Oculus update about 5 weeks ago which could explain the subtle improvements. I noticed some improvements a couple of months ago with the Vive. I had taken a break from DCS VR because it was unplayable on the Persian Gulf map and MP. The game plays much better now than it did before. It is even playable in multiplayer.

dburne Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Can't say I saw really any performance improvement in VR, but I only had a brief amount of time to try it.

But I do feel some improvements. Hope it ain't a placebo... ;) Not just frame rates. Normandy looks nice near the ground now, no more luminous trees. The Bf109 textures are gorgeous! And best of all no stutters the first time I shoot down an enemy plane. Not going to get to excited cause theres often new problems when old get fixed but this is a huge step in the right direction today especially for VR! ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf8312 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Can't say I saw really any performance improvement in VR, but I only had a brief amount of time to try it. Try it with ASW on duburne. Cause for me with motion smoothing its very... well smooth. But it's not just the smoothness cause it was smooth before, but now it's actually clear and nice looking, without artifacts (except for spit prop) I believe because MS is no longer causing it to spaz out. It just all seems cleaner somehow or more polished. Always difficult to put a finger on these things, and its early days but still my initial impression is very good, and normandy god it looks so much better down low! Although trying a different time of day when the sun hit the trees they are still bright green! Strange though cause mission before was like midday!

FragBum Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 Wow 2.5.4 sucks, image quality for Rift there is now a tiny center portion that kinda looks ok but the rest of the Rift image is very fuzzy I.E. when rolling eyes to check peripheral vision elements. I'm going to pull the pin on 2.5.4 and roll back until this is sorted. The other thing I see is CPU utilization go up from 16% ish in 2.5.3 to a whopping 28% ish in 2.5.4 for poorer image quality and the same 45FPS. Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

Zoomer Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I don't see any improvement, same old, Ditto, back to the shader mod. We`d be shagged without it, and that`s on a i7 & 2080. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceFire Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Works great for me and quite a few others.

Wolf8312 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 To be honest on the VIVE with the new motion smoothing it is only really the spitfire that suffers from a distracting amount of (prop) artifacts, that force me to turn the gun reticle off when not it combat. All the other modules from WW2, to helicopter and jets (at least the ones I have tried) all seem to work great, and the gameplay is so damned fluid now. Last night though when I first tried DCS with the new update couldn't really put my finger on it, but it just seemed so smooth, and better graphically too. Not sure if that is placebo, or a result of better prerformance, causing less MS graphical artifacts. For me at least MS is the best thing ever to happen to VR/DCS (That said in the other sim I have to shut it off!). And thats on MSSA 4 and PD about 1.2. I've also noticed lately that weather effects are no longer stuttering, though this will have to be confirmed tonight. I really do think that DCS has come a long way recently! No more Vive basestation flashes when pilots eject is the biggest thing for me though! Oh how I have waited for that one! ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Factor Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Definite improvement for me. Did a quick test and the load times are much faster. I ran MSSA x4 SSX2 with 16x anis filtering, PD 1.0 with most settings on high to achieve fast, fluid flight in the caucas map free flight (no shader mod). Well done ED. VR is def moving in the right direction. Would be really useful to know what has been tweaked so that we can optimise the VR settings? i7 7820X OC @4.8GHz | Dual GTX 1080Ti | 32GB DDR4 3000 | Samsung 256GB SSD | Win 10 x64 | Samsung Odessey | TM Warthog | TM Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragBum Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 Agree Caucasus seems way better in Rift not sure about NTTR the immersion seems different now.

Schmidtfire Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) I had a great performance boost! With little to no shimmering/jaggies (PD 1.6, MSAA OFF). There is a bug that creates sort of dark "flickering" when water is present in FOV. It has already been aknowledged by ED dev. Solution for now is to set water to Medium or Low.

javelina1 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I flew vanilla 2.5.4 Caucasus. Definitely some improvements. And as noted, had to put water at medium to eliminate the flickering when I flew PG.

We still yet to get ASW2.0. Remember that stutters can still be caused by cloud density being set too high. Have also noticed they can still occur sometimes when certain AC's explode. Using dynamic weather seems to fix the weather issue at least, but the later isn't much of a problem. Definately still some existing old problems, but the pilot eject one which was the worse has gone. I havent tried the bombs in the viggen yet, that might be interesting! ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
