How can VR possibly be so bad?

> What's your page file setup like?

Initially none, recently tried 1GB (initial) to 2GB (max) on the M2 SSD. Didn't help. Machine has 32 GB, so no to small page file should be fine.

I think most people with Reverb Headsets were not very satisfied with WMR and switched possibly to OpenXR and got better results with that API.

So it really depends on the API the headset is using i suppose.

I am really pleased with the VR performance in DCS for years - but I only used Oculus (Meta) with Rift S, Quest 2 and Quest Pro so far. Compared to Microsoft Flight Simulator in VR i think DCS is miles ahead in terms of better frametimes and overall performance. The visual fidelity for terrain and weather goes to MSFS for sure.

Hope you figure something out and get some better flight times in VR.

I have the same issue after the last update, and I purchased the PC specifically for DCS VR, I'm gonna try this Video from youtube, all the rights goes to the

Suspect Page File size should be at least as large if not larger than Physical RAM?

Yeah ... being an IT Administrator by trade, that discussion is probably as old as man, no matter the platform.

I don't subscribe to the "double the RAM" in 2023 (and in fact, not anymore for many years). There's the school of thought that says we can abandon that altogether with sufficient physical RAM (I subscribe to that one), and the school that says "make a small paging file nonetheless to please the paging algorithm because that works better".

I don't really want a paging file. I have only SSD, and while a paging file is not as SSD-murdering as some make it out to be, it's not great, especially with consumer level SSD and the reduced writing life cycles of triple and quad level cells.

I will nevertheless happily check if a 64GB paging file makes any difference and report back. However, I do believe that technically, the remainder of 32 GB of RAM, about 25 GB or whatever after the OS had it's share, should be sufficient for DCS, no?
