fixed VR - Lighting/Reflections Flickering and Moving in Left Eye

[frizball]

Getting this odd behavior, only in the left eye.  You can see in the video the lighting moving around while reflecting off the buildings on the other side of the field.  You can also notice the flickering in the hangar lighting in the left eye.

No mods installed

This issue does not happen in ST

Have tried many, but probably not all, permutations of settings.

I've noticed this too. Not sure if it was just the left eye or not but I have seen that phenomena.

I have also noticed this. Left eye only. Looks kind of like looking through polarised glasses.

See video. This only happens with multithreading in VR and in the left lens only. The right lens behaves normally. ST doesn't have this problem.

Same here, this is what it looks like with DFR in the Aero. https://imgur.com/PvxLBs6 , increased brightness where my eyes are looking.

[Zoijar]

Same here. It makes night flying quite sickening. Seems primarily shadows on the ground, buildings and fences and so on, where in one lens it's lit and in the other it's dark, which creates a very weird visual effect in VR as your brain obviously can't interpret that.

This is pretty important to fix I'd say.

 

I tried turning those secondary shadows off, but it doesn't help.

Same issue as here it seems. Can confirm

 

 

[Wizard1393]

Same here.

[Willdass]

Same, lighting bug both in VR and 2D (noticed in the mission editor)

Same issue here noticed in VR Valve Index. Not present in normal OB only MT.

[kornykidd0]

Same issue with Index and Quest Pro. Can't confirm in ST, but definitely present in MT.

[Warlord Zico]

Same here, reverb G2 in MT. On night missions, left eye gives different light effects on clouds.

There seems to be a bug in the lighting effects for the left videochannel. Some groundlights move with head movement. Link to screenrecording:

Farps are flickering with the lights on . All Farp square is flickering.

I'm still getting this problem. Has it been fixed or is it still being looked at?

 

Thanks

[Flappie]

It is now fixed internally.

[Solemn-laugh]

@Flappie thanks for the update (also seeing this behaviour). Are you able to tell us if the team are confident on improving MT VR performance further? I get better VR performance now in missions like DCS liberation (no longer need to run it on separate server – so nice improvement). But I now have to turn off all shadows and it's still a bit jerky low level. I guess we'll always want more, right? Thanks 

[Flappie]

Devs are constantly looking for ways to improve both visuals and performance.

If you get stutters, please open your own thread and attach the usual files (dcs.log of a stutter-fest session, dxdiag log, and task list).

[Flappie]

This should now be fixed in today's OB. Can someone please confim it is?

[schurem]

Nope, error 502 keeps me from confirming

[Flyingfish]

It is working for me.

Unfortunately it seems to have caused a decrease in performance and I'm getting stutters where I didn't used to.

I haven't had a chance to compare it to ST version so I'm not sure if the drop in performance is just MT or not.
