Meta Quest Pro Settings

[toni]

Sir, GREAT EXPLANATION ! did it this way and it works . Im running Open XR, and view fofeated, and while flying when I lower the eyes I see like if it was another virtual screen brighter than looking at the front. Can be related with the settings ?  How do you have all for a almost perfect vission while flying ?

There is a separate thread for foveated rendering. Would you use that, please? Maybe you will find the answer to your question there.

Hi...

Using the QPro for about 2 weeks now (with the original oculus link cable). I have tinkered with various settings but actually went back to default Encode bitrate/Dynamic bitrate and still get some audio cutouts. How people run it on 960 encode bitrate is absolutely surreal to me. 

Anything I could still try to get rid of that?

My specs: Win10/13700K/4090

 

EDIT: To be clear...I don`t see a need to run at a higher bitrate, I simply want to get rid of the audio cutouts.

I've always said that the default settings are optimal. Alas, I too have not found a solution to the audio glitches. 960mbps actually makes it worse. I expect some are using alternative headphones.

[Phantom711]

Yeah...that`s what I meant. 960 is an acoustic stutterfest.

So what you are saying is, that using seperate headphones (or speakers) via the audiojack (on the PC) eliminates the problem?

Also, since my system is not far below yours: Do you also still have microstutters even though framerate appears to be stable (@72 in my case).

I had the same on default, lowered to 600  and cutouts are gone !

Aslo, since my system is not far below yours: Do you also still have microstutters even though framerate appears to be stable (@72 in my case).

I get some stutters. I don't think we can completely get rid of them. Are you using QVFR? That has turbo mode on by default which eliminates most microstutters.

Have you tried the virtual desktop app instead of Oculus Link? The encoders in that might solve the problem but I have yet to get it to perform satisfactorily. To be fair, I'm a bit tired of messing around with changes and just try to get on with flying now.

I'll try it again but fairly sure I was still getting them.

[Phantom711]

Yes...using QVFR. 

[Dentedend10]

I’ve always used an alternate headset with no issues, just FYI

Im using encode 960 and external headphones (JBL Quantum TWS), no any problems with the sound. Crystal sound without interruptions. Honestly, I never use the built-in ones, their quality always leaves a lot to be desired.

@YoYo

I play DCS pretty much exclusively...so for the "yeeeeee" of the engines, the "beep-beep" of the RWR and the "brrrrt" of the Vulcan they are good enough and I would rather not want an additional cable hang off of my head.

EDIT: But thanks for your info...good to know, that there is an "escape".

Me too, that's why the ones I'm writing about are wireless .

I'll try it again but fairly sure I was still getting them.

I was only able to have one stutter free session last week. It was after I installed the latest Nvidia drivers and then deleted fxo and metashaders.

Then I shut down dcs, and launched it later that night and it was back to randomly stuttering in instant action missions. HAGS was still off but after this I turned it back on because I was also playing Alan Wake 2 where you need it on for frame generation.

I also tried disabling hyperthreading but that didn't seem to do much either. I run 500 bitrate with 90hz and oculus home resolution at 1.0.

Hoping to have more sessions like the one I had Friday but so far the stutters in flight have been pretty sporadic.

There's no more tweaking for me to do as I've done it all. Last thing I can do now is install quad views.

There’s another major thread about stuttering and parked cores. You might want to check that one out.

Yup im familiar with that one. I've also tried parking each core that shoots up to 100% and then the next one just assumes all the load. No clue if that is supposed to be happening but all the suggestions from there haven't helped.

I guess the only thing I have not done is roll back to 2.8.

I had to bring mine down to 250 to stop the audio cut outs.

I finally made the switch from Q2 to Qpro and I'm very happy about it. The clarity is phenomenal coming from Q2 and the colours are much better. 

I used the exact same settings I had for Q2 in OTT (encode 3664 and bitrate 500) and I haven't notice any problem. I use link cable and while with Q2 the charging was enough to keep the battery above 80%, with Qpro I'm not sure it works the same. I need more testing on this. Oculus app resolution is at max so I can compare at the same level with Q2.

The end resolution as reported in OpenXR toolkit log is higher in Qpro despite been officially lower compared to Q2. Performance seems better in Qpro using the same settings with Q2 (I will do more tests in the upcoming days)

I use Quad Views and I'm really amazed the way it works. My only point with this is that you see (even slightly) the transition between focus and peripheral area.

Comfort wise, I had to turn around the back headrest to make it fit better on my head.

I would suggest starting a new thread in the performance section of the forum. The major stutters, and by major I mean pauses of seconds and so not micro stutters are present in 2.8 as well but not as frequent. Give the single-threaded binary a try. If you have the same stutters in that, then it isn't due to core parking. Either way, best to generate a new thread as I don't think that this has anything to do with Oculus configuration.

would like to findout why I see like a subscreen brighter at the bottom once into the cockpit, its very unconfortable and I guess has relationship with my  different mixture programs ( open xr, traytool ) settings.

Reverb G2  NEVER did that to me, nobody else is experiencing that issues ?

[Phantom711]

No...don`t know what you mean. Try resetting your OXRTK to defaults.

Well....as I said, I am already at "default" which is 200Mbps as far as I know.

Start a new thread and put a screen capture of it in there.

Apologies I wasn't aware default is 200.

[sze5003]

Internally it's 200 but the actual default in oculus debug tool is 0 for bitrate.

[Phantom711]

@sze5003

From all the reading, I was aware of that. I have it set to 0…so that it can just do it‘s thing.

The Quest 3 allows me to turn off the headset's WIfi and instead use an ethernet to USB C adapter via a long cable to supply power/internet to the headset.

I've tried doing the same with the Quest Pro, the power side is working, but it's not recognising the internet connection..... is it possible to supply the internet to the Quest Pro in this way ??.
