I, too, am not sure how you manage to get the computer turned on!

What I meant: you can almost not see the difference when you change that option! Probably because of the resolution of the HMD and the scenery far away can‘t be seen anyways.

I just updated to vr3 and the lights are back. But still can´t see the sun.

Will they tie my shoes for me if I’m feeling really incompetent that day? Sometimes I’m not even sure how I manage to get the computer turned on.

here is the thing Oculus WILL GIVE YOU SUPPORT why will you not take it? they will HELP YOU WITH YOUR CODE you just have to ask

unlike steamVR where you own your own why do you not want help from people with LOADS more time working VR?

I feel like number 3 is valid even for “default” popups. It’s not very easy to close and the “button area” seems to be slightly offset.

I have the exact same issue. I opened a bug report last night…

Yes – you can massively cut down the LOD bias ratio and get some CPU time back, at the expense of the autogen mostly not being there.

I‘m adding this here, because Laminar might not have recognized it and it might be very interesting to them as it improves FPS drastically without noticeable visual impact in VR (and only there you almost can‘t see the difference):

(kudos to the user keem85 in the X-Plane forum):

Open settings.txt inside resources folder (open it in Notepad++)
-Go down to line 227 and find this “SETTING_1 renopt_draw_3d_04 4 reno/LOD_bias_rat 1″….
The number “04 4” means “Maximum object setting”, where “LOD_Bias_rat 1” means that you can see all the objects FAR FAR away.. The higher the number, the lesser you can see objects in the distance..

Now, Try this: “SETTING_1 renopt_draw_3d_04 4 reno/LOD_bias_rat 9″… Where the 9 is a much shorter range..

Try it, thank me later 🙂

EDIT: On a monitor you would see this difference quite substantially.. Because you are presented with every object only 1 meter from you.. But in VR you will not notice it 🙂 Objects are visible quite far anyway, even with a distance of 9.
EDIT2: Set your slider to maximum, because that is the setting we changed, ofcourse.

My machine:
i5 3.3 Ghz
GTX 1060 3GB
MSI MOB

VR2 is completely unusable due to extreme lag… Everything seem to load fine but when I move my head around it’s extremely jumping and laggy…

Anyone else experiencing this?
