OpenXR v SteamVR

[Spit40 197]

So am I right that openXR is now the preferred replacement for SteamVR rather than something that works with it? If so then I wonder about all those many options you can configure in SteamVR. Super sampling rates, audio and any more. Is there an openXR config equivalent? I got the developer tool and there’s just one option - motion vector.

I'd say so. It made a big improvement on my system in almost all games I play, but unfortunately MSFS doesn't seem to utilise it correctly with Oculus link. It's as if the frame rate is locked at something the Quest headsets can't apply ASW to in a clean manner

The other headsets are probably working really well with it.

OpenXR for Reverb and WMR, SteamVR for the rest of HMD. Check VR corner here :).

Right? I was wondering why my performance with the Quest2 is so bad. I get sick after 5 minutes. Like a slideshow almost...changing settings doesn't help. I can run on high or minimal. Same performance

Thanks. I've seen lot sof threads making reference to this but couldn't get a definitive on the and/or aspect of the two approaches. Is there a thread called VR Corner or a subforum - can't find either.

Is there some documentation anywhere how to do the equivalent settings that you get in SteamVR?

So I should be using Steam VR with my Oculus Rift? I don’t currently use it - I just open MSFS from my desktop shortcut, put on the headset and press Ctrl+tab.

Quest 1 & 2 don't follow the regular config rules for PC VR setup. A lot of the tips and tricks that work for the CV1 & Rift S etc don't work as well.
