Alright. This is very quick, and very dirty. First - the fit (thankfully) works for me. It is an odd sort of system where you have to wear that back head strap lower, which sort of levers the headset up higher on your face. I feel the Rift is more comfortable, but the O+ is not terrible either. I d…

Thought this was interesting. It looks like SteamVR chooses some weird default resolutions for ‘100%’ for the O+. Here’s a comparison: Odyssey+ (1440x1600 per eye) 100% = 1426x1779 140% = 1687x2105 200% = 2017x2516 250% = 2255x2813 OG Odyssey (1440x1600 per eye) 100% = 1428x1776 140% = 1690x…

Interesting. So if a game doesn’t have its own super sampling setting, and you leave Steam VR at 100%, you would likely be under sampling? If we leave Steam VR in auto would that maybe be better?

[image] BeachAV8R: So if a game doesn’t have its own super sampling setting, and you leave Steam VR at 100%, you would likely be under sampling? Yep, depending if ‘auto’ is on in SteamVR or not, and I’m confused with all the betas etc on what happens now ‘out of the box’. It’s a bit like DCS …

Yeah…it is weird how the recommended setting in Steam VR varies from instance to instance. I would have thought it looked at hardware and determined a setting, but since it varies, it must be looking at CPU and GPU overhead in that moment maybe… :thinking: Mine has varied from 160 to near 200 at var…

I’ve got a suspicion it’s trying to find a floating average, based on previous frames dropped and headroom. I think it would work if you ran The Lab like 10 times in a row, but VR games are just too varied in performance to get that sort of figure right I think.

So odd observation on owning two O+'s in quick succession. The 2nd one’s headband foam is much softer, to the extent I wonder if they made a manufacturing change or something. The 1st one’s foam started to become softer on use, but this one is uniformly a different type of foam. The unit is new as …

I’ve had my O+ for about a week now and can echo most of the comments. The improved clarity makes it impossible to go back to my Rift, despite being less comfortable. Unfortunately, I’m having a hell of a time finding the right settings for DCS that don’t result in awful shimmering. I feel like I’v…

SAM, I’d lower your SteanVR Video Resolution to 100% and raise your in-game PD to about 1.8 based on your GPU. Try that, then adjust PD for FPS.

DCS is still a hard reach for VR. I’m enjoying the heck out of it, but I’m still seeing the limitations of VR in a super complex cockpit with really fine details that require some speed and efficiency of use to keep you alive. VR really shines in the civil aviation sims (X-Plane, P3D, Aerofly) and d…
