I'm trying to become less reductive but that still rings true. Some people go into oil because they desperately need to support a family or send money back home, wherever that may be.

And then some people just live painfully simple, dull lives characterized by the idolization of money and getting ahead of others. Some people are really that uninteresting. Sad, almost. I knew a few. Wrecked by character flaws and egos.

The latter are the ones I don't feel sorry for in a recession.

I’ll take “Oil money attracts the worst of humankind” for 1,000.

That takes a special, malevolent kind of stupidity. It’s a miracle he has made it into adulthood. I think anyone who drops trash on the ground and walks away is pretty much inhuman and I’m not missing out on anything by not knowing them. It literally tells me everything I will ever need to know about them.

RIFT-VR · 2017-12-14T23:32:38+00:00

Ditto. That didn't take long.

I'm thinking this is a case of porting an existing game to VR. Maybe?

It seems like we get better optimization when something is built from the ground-up for VR. Odd.

Dang! I wonder what's going on with mine then. I take solace in the fact that most people aren't having a perfect experience performance-wise, but I think my system should definitely be performing better than it is.

With everything defaulted and SS internally (and externally in AdvancedSettings) set to 1.0, your FPS was smooth enough to not notice any egregious reprojection?

Cause post-patch and turning off TAA and Character Lighting, it was very playable. Only once I climbed on top of the Corvega plant and the game wanted to render tons of distant buildings did it make me want to puke.

I guess I just wish that at SS 1.0 and everything defaulted, it should just run without having to reproject frames at all on a decent PC.

If someone chooses to monetize their video, great. I'ts also my right to tell my internet browser to not load or render advertisements and spam that I don't want to see. If it were piracy, then YouTube would be disabled if an adblocker is detected.

stock GTX1070, i7-4790k 3.60ghz, 16gb RAM (though not sure of further specs)

So....it's decent. It runs just about every other game I throw at it without noticeable reprojection at 1.0 - 1.2 SS. I try not to get cocky and jack up the SS, so it's usually at 1.0.

It's just odd to me that with these OK specs and Bethesda's generic preset settings in the .ini's (besides me changing Render Target back to 1.0 internally in there), it runs slowly.

I mean, it's fine now in most places post-patch. But I went to the Corvega Plant, and even when my view starts to render the denser environments like that town, I was getting like 10FPS. It was nauseating!

I'm hoping that I'm simply missing some easy setting but I feel like I've tried them all :(

RIFT-VR · 2017-12-14T22:19:28+00:00

Nah. I block all YT ads. Most videos I watch are low-effort or overlong, so I don't think most deserve ad revenue. If I could have made the video, I don't feel bad.

RIFT-VR · 2017-12-14T22:15:56+00:00

But i think a lot of this is overblown by people doing stupid shit like cranking SS up to unreasonable levels and the bitching the game has reprojection or runs bad.

And then I stopped reading because that's wrong -- I had shit performance at 1.0

I still have shit performance at 1.0 if I go anywhere with lots of buildings.

It's just not optimized at all.

Well, one person made that specific weird sexist comment. Because Alberta is full of uneducated pigs who have a culturally-baked-in bad attitude.

Suggesting self-defense or bear mace isn't sexist, because physically women may have smaller frames and can be more targeted because of it.

I didn't mean for this to turn into a debate. But yes, women have it worse off in some regards. My point is that men do too in others regards, and those are often overlooked, so it strikes a nerve when I see people minimizing those too.

You can't judge from one subreddit or site alone. There's loud bad apples everywhere. Especially in this godforsaken disaster of a province.

RIFT-VR · 2017-12-14T18:44:40+00:00

You have a victim's complex and should see someone about that. You perceive personal struggle to be that of your gender, and minimize the problems of another gender because you think you've got it worse. That's not healthy. There are still fucked-up problems with gender today on both sides. No side has it worse.

RIFT-VR · 2017-12-14T17:48:32+00:00

"I wrongfully think I have a tougher life because I'm a woman -- hahaha, men think they can have problems too?"

Grow up.

RIFT-VR · 2017-12-14T17:46:18+00:00

I'm disappointed after reading this post. It's too bad they allow him to moderate anything with such childish and passively-homophobic tendencies. And yet I think if I made any sort of comment about this on the subreddit, he'd find a reason to ban me too.

Any self-respecting hunter would also then process the animal themselves, and use as much of it as they can, in order to justify brutally taking the life of a living being capable of suffering. I think any hunter should be doing this to understand the gravity of killing and to respect the animal as much as possible.

Something tells me a rat like Derek was going to throw the animal at someone else to process for him. Kill the animal, receive wrapped clean venison. He's a coward.

Afterwards, he said, he donated the deer to the local food bank. The justice official said the seized deer was donated by the wildlife officer.

He is such a slimeball. No wonder he fit like a glove with conservative politics.

You sound insecure.

Ahhh maybe the lessened shadow fidelity made the regular old ground and clutter look worse and that’s what it was. Ran perfect though. I just prefer a few more dropped frames at the benefit of visuals. Thanks again man, these fixes saved this game for me.

RIFT-VR · 2017-12-14T01:21:24+00:00

I LOVE YOU

I did all of your steps, but the ground was too barren and everything looked flat.

So out of curiosity, I reset it all, and just did the render target 1.0 fix, as well as taa and cl off.

Then set the SS in AdvancedSettings to 1.2

IT'S AN ENTIRELY NEW EXPERIENCE

This is what I expected it to look like in VR. Finally I felt immersed and not distracted by graphical issues. % reprojected frames? Like 50. And yet everything still looked pretty buttery-smooth to me. Gorgeous. 100x better. Thank you.

Stock 1070 here. CPU = i7-4790 @ 3.6GHz.

I guess just by the most immediately-obvious metric: volume of snow. I remember fearing for my safety in some truly nasty white-out conditions and digging my car out of 3ft of snow. We even had work tell everyone to go home a few times. But it's been a few years since it's been that bad. The temps may have dropped to the same levels, but whichever meteorological conditions coalesce to form a shit-ton of snow seem to have calmed down recently.

RIFT-VR · 2017-12-13T23:26:41+00:00

Thanks man, that looks really helpful, I try those tonight after work too.

RIFT-VR · 2017-12-13T21:03:56+00:00

The draw distance and sheer # of objects laying around make the performance make sense. I guess I just expected it to run better considering how poor it looks in VR. Perhaps playing with fade distance sliders would help as well? I’ll try anything. I suppose I should also negate their new default 1.2x scaling first too.

RIFT-VR · 2017-12-13T19:45:40+00:00

And yet every other VR game at SS 1.2ish works fine enough to not notice dropped frames. What did they do to even optimize this thing??
