VR Set Up Question

[FADEC]

Just set up a new system with a HP Rebverb and think I am having some issues. I had saved and watched tons of youtube videos and form posts to aid me in setting everything up. WMR doesn't seem to be the issue, but Steam VR for WMR settings menu is totally different than all of the videos, and form posts I have seen. Picture and performance seem good to me, biggest complaint is eye discomfort after flying for about 20-30 min. If anyone could point me to some more updated posts/videos that would be great!

Are you running the Reverb at 90hz or 60hz?

60hz are bugged right now (distortion bug could lead to eye discomfort, next windows release fixes this)

[FADEC]

Running at 90HZ, most of confusion comes from the lack of setting options in steam VR.

Right now I am running 0.8 PD in DCS and 150% (advanced) Supersampling in SteamVR with low settings and no Antialiasing most of the time. With these low fidelity settings I enjoy better FPS.

 

(If I want good looks in single player I go with 0.8 PD and 300% Supersampling. But with these settings you get low FPS in multiplayer and complex missions.)

 

VR needs some time to get adjusted to. 30 minutes in the beginning is ok. Nowadays I enjoy multiple hours without any discomfort.

What version of Steam VR are you running - I have 1.11.11

 

Have you adjusted IPD - maybe that is your discomfort - some say the only adjustment (which is on the settings page (Headset Display->Calibration ) in Windows 10 WMR Portal ) doesn't do much. There is some sort of IPD adjustment in DCS

Also try Night Mode in SteamVR setting. This has no effect on performance but will cut some blue lights that cause eye fatigue. At first, everything will seem too warm and dark but it'll look fine after few minutes once your eyes and brain adjusts to it. Plus, everything's supposed to be warm in sunlight. If it seems too dark, compensate with in game gamma.

And make sure the headset is on properly and not on too tight. This is more important than many thinks.

 

I'd also recommend VR cover. It not only makes it cleaner, it's thinner than factory foam so you get better FOV. If you want to see what the difference is, take the foam off and play. It'll hurt your face but you can see the difference in FOV. Thinner foam pad definitely helps a ton in view angle.

All,

 

Thanks for the feedback, here are the settings I have running,

 

WMR:

Visual quality High

IDP 65 (just got my eyes check so that is correct)

90Hz

 

Steam VR, 1.12.3 (beta)

Resolution Per Eye 2696 x 2644 (150%)

and that is really the only setting I can find in this version of Steam VR

 

In DCS

I hit the default VR TAB and running a PD of 1.0

 

System wise I'm running

Ryzen 9 3900x, 32GB 3600MHZ, 2080TI, And everything is running of a M.2 drive.

 

I'll try Motomouse settings, and the night mode! Thanks!

These settings only make a difference in the VMR Home(or what its is called).

They do not affect gaming.

Discomfort ism, not uncommon when starting in vr... little steps... also make sure that it’s not on too tight.
