I have the same problem, _eq_vr is already set to 0.
The problem is the frame rate is too slow on the monitor.
I did not get my HTC Vive headset yet, but mean while I should be able to use it as before this beta upgrade on my monitor.

Absolutely HUGE thanks to LR. I have been waiting for what this native VR promises since i first flew a flight sim on an Atari 800xl. Im a rift user, older I7 OC’d to 3.6, 12gb, and 1080ti. The controls blow my mind. I personally love the use of touch controllers. No more mouse for me. However, I still prefer the hardware yoke in left hand, controller in right, and then, wow…
I do have shudder at all autogen settings, although minimal at low and over open country. I also use project cars 2, and for me, starting PC2 in oculus mode prevents some odd behavior that I do get in Steam vr mode.
I used Flyinside before, and it was very smooth as long as I had VR optimizations checked. Most visible difference was the removal of the sun, which I could live with. However, the LR vr preview is so good I just struggle with the FI controls. Plus, the clarity in the native VR is excellent. I’m sure there are further optimizations that can solve the Rift judder issue, but I too am concerned about Steam VR being an issue.
Anyway, phenomenal job LR, and thank you for all the hard work.

In reply to Chris Serio. What you just wrote is what I would expect from you. The words “our investigation” convey a very different impression. I might be oversensitive, but the original sounded dismissive; I am sorry if I misread it.

In reply to Chris Serio. I figured it out: Both the monitor and Oculus have to be plugged into the NVIDIA graphics card. I was thinking the monitor could just stay in the stock graphics card.

UPDATE : I switched off all Ai aircraft running in the background and flew from KJFK to Kewr at night graphics up pretty good and now didn’t get any juddering at all wow it was real smooth so my AI aircraft which I had many in the backround was doing it for me.

In reply to Ben Supnik. Thanks, maybe I need to reinstall x11 from scratch, and try again.

Hi, Does this feature work in the demo version? I dowloaded it to test if my computer can handle it, but when I try to check the vr checkbox nothing happens, the checkbox deselects itself. Steam vr starts but i only see the steam vr room. It only works in the full version?

Thanks.

In reply to Maurice Cohen.

What would you expect? IF our investigation finds fault with SteamVR we’ll do something about it WHEN that happens. I try not to speculate without data, and with the release only about 10 days old…through two major holidays…I can say we don’t yet have enough data.

In reply to Andrey.

The AABB is minx miny minz maxx maxy maxz. To make the floor a hard surface you’d need to edit the OBJ and add ATTR_solid_camera to the mesh or make a simpler layer on top of the REAL floor with the draw disabled. “show_hotspots” is an Art Control…they work like datarefs but they’re private. Look in the dataref plugin menu.
