PSVR2 - now works with Eye Tracking and Quad Views!

[proxlamus]

  Great news !  The PSVR2 headset using the PC adapter now works with DCS World with Eye Tracking AND Quad views !    Huge performance boost.    Especially compared to my Quest 3 with stereo rendering.  

 I needed the following:
PSVR2 Toolkit (https://github.com/BnuuySolutions/PSVR2Toolkit)
OpenXR Eye Trackers 1.2.2 (https://github.com/mbucchia/_ARCHIVE_OpenXR-Eye-Trackers/wiki)
Quad Views Foveated 1.1.3 (https://github.com/mbucchia/Quad-Views-Foveated/wiki/PlayStation-VR2)

 All simple installations of opening MSI files and dragging a DLL file into Steam.

 With identical specs in DCS, i went from Quest 3 72hz x1.3 render resolution pegged at 36fps with ASW enabled on Normandy during D-Day to running PSVR2 120hz x1.3 render resolution at 50-60fps *no motion smoothing*   its fantastic.      Cheapest OLED VR headset on the market with freakn Eye tracking!    

Note -  DCS recognizes the eye movement as a AXIS control .  Be sure to go to settings, controls, general, axis and clear out all the configurations under the PSVR2 headset.

Yeah nice. Finally they start to really unlock the PSVR2's potential for PCVR. It's already crazy what quality they achieve on the weak hardware of the PS5 due to DFR.

How does quality compare to the Q3?

Do you have any experience with the Quest Pro? I would be interested in a comparison.

This is fantastic news!! I'm looking forward to trying this out as soon as I get back from holiday. 

Could you add your PC hardware specs please? 

For comparison, I'm generally holding 60 FPS unless I'm taxiing in a big base or something similar on a 4080/9800x3d 

Thank you for your setting page, really useful!

Just tried it. Performance gain is huge - awesome!

However I do experience a slight color / lighting difference between the various "resolution boxes" because of the quad view rendering method, which I rembember was already present back when I tried the quadview mod when Eye tracking wasn't available yet. It's not that obvious though and I'll take the massive FPS boost anytime over this small graphical glitch.

[RealDCSpilot]

Did install everything and checked the settings.
Eye tracking is working in DCS but i don't get any fps boost and i can see that the focus area and the peripheral area are rendered at the same (high) resolution. Any ideas?
I was stupid and forgot the fps cap i had set in DCS...

The performance gain is huge, i've seen up to 100% fps gains in my test scene (Caucasus, F-18. Ready On The Ramp). I run very high DCS quality settings and SS in SteamVR at 150% (more than 4100x4100 per eye) and i can reach now ~120 fps up in the skies, depending on the situation. Before that i was on max ~60 fps most of the time.

This is very encouraging news! Would you be able to post your system specs please? I'm interested to understand if this helps CPU or GPU or both...Thank you!

[Morat]

nullHave I done something wrong?
 

 

 

Performance looks good though! I'm getting 70 FPS even sitting in a crowded airbase in Syria with supersampling at 150%.

4080/9800X3d/64Gb at 6000MT/s

As I climb I see that I'm GPU limited instead of CPU limited (I was always CPU limited in the past)

Do you guys also notice the graphical glitch that I mention in my post above, which is a demarkation of the high resolution box ? It is only visible in some viewing angles, most prominent when looking down in the cockpit when the lighting is darker.

I don't, so far, but I will look harder next time I run DCS.

[RealDCSpilot]

@JMW Check if you have lens effects enabled (and maybe Bloom in VR settings). The recommendation is to have both disabled.

@Morat Try DLSS in Performance setting and raise sharpness. Crucial is to have Preset K and DLSS version 310.3 running for a crisp image.

Thank you! @RealDCSpilot I'll try that. So, I shouldn't worry about the OpenXR layers warning?

Could it be a better headset than quest pro now?

Sorry for offtopic

I am planning upgrade from quest2. Only minimum of 90Hz troubles me. For my configuration it's now fine and stable on 72Hz.

For me anything over about 45 FPS is good enough, 60+ is lovely. I realise it's a personal thing.
With Quadviews, I'm normally over 70FPS.

I've managed to switch off reprojection or whatever it is that locks you to 45/60/90/120 FPS and I find it much smoother with the FPS being able to range. With reprojection I always found a noticeable jitter when looking left or right and seeing scenes with lots of moving objects ie the terrain moving accross your vision.

This isn't a real warning.

I locked it to 60 and love it. The oled does it for me in this headset.  There are some caveat’s though- it needs quite some tweaking (refresh rate, resolution vs field of view which are a bit strangely linked together) to get right, but once you do it can’t be beat imo.

Just wanted to say thank you mbucchia and whatdahopper for making all of this possible. You guys increase the value of the psvr2 for us users immensely !

I'm going to ask a stupid question does it work on DCS stand alone or is this strictly for Steam.  

Thanks

Does anyone have a direct comparison? The Quest Pro is a very good headset and can be bought for a similar price to the PSVR2 (in the UK at least). The QP lenses are excellent. The PSVR2 has Fresnel lenses so how does the quality compare? 

[AlpineGTA]

I read in this article that eye-tracked foveated rendering isn't working in MSFS or DCS. Is the article incorrect?

[Morat]

yes, it seems they didn't install QuadViews or at least they don't mention it. Try the instructions in the first post of this thread.

Standalone still uses SteamVR, so it's the same deal.

[Aries]

Tested... Works as advertised...

Thanks!!!

This is the VR modding scene, this article was outdated barely an hour after it was published. We move really fast.

Good to know. Thank you for clarifying. And thank you for the work!
