EXPERIMENTAL: Virtual Reality

Hey stenyak, a while ago a patch was made to protonGE to get VR working, you requested that it be undone as an official fix would be implemented in 0.32. (it was never implemented)
Would appreciate if this was fixed for 0.37, useful links are below. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the help. I reached out to the creator of OXRMC and he's happy to assist if you can provide a game key. PM on the way.

 

BuzzteeBear took a look at this issue and provide a solution to enable motion compensation. Open the OpenXR-MotionCompensation.ini file and find the overlay_enabled = 1 setting. Set that to 0 and you should no longer run into the crash when launching VR mode. You'll want to reenable that someday if you need to see the overlay but it's a solution for now.

 

Note that you can also just add the line 'overlay_enabled = 0' into the BeamNG-specific .ini file of oxrmc. That way it's only disabled for BeamNG and you can still use it in any other title

 

Would be really nice to see this implemented bc BeamNG in VR is very single core bottlenecked. Have to reduce render distance to low to increase GPU utilization on an RTX 4080 Super and Ryzen 9 7950X3D. We could potentially see some large performance gains with Single Pass Stereo and additional renderer CPU optimizations.

 

The supportId button doesnt exactly work under linux

 

After looking through the replies did not see mention of this when the shadows are not rendering as expected that started happening in v0.35.

The shadows appear to render as you'd expect in the left eye, but they change position as you move your head around in the right eye, here's a demonstration recording each eye. It's way more apparent in VR when you close one eye, but you can see it in the video.
