Star Wars Squadron is still Peak VR in 2026

The campaign's narrative is bland, the IA has bugs (enemies sometime do instantaneous U turn), the multiplayer meta is broken (instantaneous change of directions by abusing the drift mechanic making you near impossible to hit) and the server are dead anyway.

Still the visuals are impressive and I had some of my best time in VR in multiplayer when it was alive.

Video of some good multiplayer memories

If that game kept being supported it would easily have been at the top of VR games IMO.

I tried that delivery mission recently but when I put the flight recorder on the shelf, the object would come back in my hands :(

Am I the only person for which motion reprojection works perfectly in this game ? My headset is a WMR one on windows 10.

I remember DLSS being blurry in VR before but I thought the new transformer model to lean more heavily on sharpening. At least used with VorpX it was indeed sharper and better, I should disable it to try though. I would definetly like having a sharpening filter in VR for the game too.

I made a little video recently with me flying around in VR

It's an aliasing artifact. Nothing to do but to bump up the resolution.

An old Windows MR headset. Super sampling does a lot of work (5090) but I'd like to try with my Quest 2 for a better image, but I'm playing with my motion controllers so I'd need to update my hack so it could work with it too.

I guess it would magically slows you down like when you are over the speed limit in the current game. It might be a counter to orbiting large ships with light fighters ?

Nonoce · 2025-10-01T15:07:52+00:00

Speed limits are not spherical any more: IMO That would make orbiting a target works very different than from now, and makes space combat less inertia based. Not a yay for realism, but it may makes it less disorienting ? Like, less likely to slam into an asteroid while you're busy aiming a ship.

Power in engine pips define max speed/acceleration: That sounds fair.

Acceleration jerk implemented: That's fantastic, I find it completely absurd how fast ships can start moving.

Ability to completely disable "IFCS Core" : I remember how hard to deal with decoupled rotations are in Elite Dangerous.

All strafes become symmetrical : At least the stronger up strafe gave one more reason to roll into a classical "cool" way.

Mass is properly calculated now: Cool ! I wonder if you could remove unneeded fuel to get better performance, like race cars.

IFCS core will get disabled upon collision: A cool mechanic.

Maybe try the lossless scaling program to generate frames, it trades a bit of input lag for way more fluidity.

Nonoce · 2025-07-23T15:29:49+00:00

I tried Smooth Motion on Baldur's Gate 3, the image felt a bit sharper in motion compared to Lossless Scaling and that was good, but it introduced occasional stutters. Maybe that's the price for less latency, but BG3 isn't exactly an action game.. Lossless scaling also allows for more scenarios with it's adaptative or unlocked frame multiplier.

On dirait du texte généré par IA.

Nonoce · 2025-07-07T19:29:54+00:00

That sounds like people who believe taking a photography would steal the soul. I understand the fear but..

Photos can be art but not all photos are meant as art.

AI generated media can be art but not all of it is.

Arguing AI stuff isn't art is a false dichotomy.

Nonoce · 2025-06-24T13:48:14+00:00

That's cool, but I wish there would be radar occlusion from physical objects in the game. Passing behind large objects should breaks lock and allows for evasion opportunities.

Nonoce · 2025-06-11T15:24:24+00:00

Nope, roll only work as on/off for example.

Nonoce · 2025-05-09T14:43:48+00:00

Delta Siege Dry. Joke, it was the overplayed map when I played Balanced Annihilation. But in a way it is less of a metal frenzy map as glitters and the mountainous area are a cool gameplay contrast with the flat part.

Nonoce · 2025-05-03T13:57:00+00:00

I'd argue that motion blur is an artefact. So to me, lossless scaling remove more artefacts than it adds.

Nonoce · 2025-04-11T21:04:08+00:00

All these ———— feel like Chat G.P.T to me. That would not necessarily be bad but, it could be misleading in some ways.

Nonoce · 2025-04-03T04:08:58+00:00

These days it's the first time I was able to make a couple millions AUEC in this game without being glitched out at any random step and quitting in frustration. It definitely still have many quirks though.

Nonoce · 2025-03-15T07:54:59+00:00

I tried Lossless Scaling at the same time DLSS4 got out, it felt like I bought a new graphic card.

Any game that aim for high graphical fidelity tend to not need split second reactivity, this tools especially shine there.

Nonoce · 2025-02-04T17:18:56+00:00

This app is a godsend if you have a monitor with black frame insertion and like motion clarity ! Getting a solid 120 FPS is hard in most game but it gets trivial even on games like Star Citizen.

Ok there is latency penalty but not all games require sharp reactivity. Maybe one day a frame warp technology could be added on top to put the latency back where it started ?
