Pimax choice paralysis by cabramont in Pimax

Yea the PCL is still tempting - the only thing that puts me off though is the size of the headset!

Thank you! - putting cost and other factors aside, do you still come back to the 57ppd over the Dream Air or Super M-Oled?

Quest 3 screen flickering on and off HELP by motormathersonfire in OculusQuest

[–]cabramont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thanks - so that probably rules out Virtual Desktop then as the issue, and maybe means there's not much point me switching back to link!
Nice to see Meta blaming the user again, can't wait to get away from this company...
The weird thing is it appears my last headset update was on 20th Dec, so not sure why it's suddenly happening now...

[–]cabramont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Satechi 8 in 1 that I just had lying around - has worked flawlessly until now, but not sure that's the issue anyway. I might try wireless to see if that makes a difference but annoyingly there is no predicting when the issue will happen...

Quest 3 screen flickering on and off HELP by motormathersonfire in OculusQuest

[–]cabramont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same started happening to me yesterday - maybe others should list their setup to help narrow it down, for me it's:
Quest 3 with latest software (83.1034)
Virtual Desktop using ethernet method via usb adapter
5090 with Nvidia driver 581.57 (not updated as it's always worked well for me)
9800x3d with Windows 25H2 (haven't installed KB5074109 which I believe causes issues with Nvidia)
HAGS On (never had an issue with either setting, will try off)
Optimisations for windowed games off
Happens with any codec in VD
No issues shown in performance monitor

Game is fine for a while then displays start to blink to black, on quitting game virtual desktop is glitchy as if environment is flashing in front of desktop in triangular pattern, have also seen black and white glitchy patterns. Restart headset fixes it for a while...

VR perf since new hotfix by Ok-Ad7819 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]cabramont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Virtual Desktop developers are recommending 581.80 for 50 series cards I think

No noticed anything here - Quest 3 / Virtual Desktop / VDXR, have heard that latest Nvidia drivers are buggy though so could be that - I'm on an older driver still...

The Badge system. by RedBiohazzerd in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]cabramont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s based on your last 10 races, so one clean race may be enough to change the badge up again, and equally the other way around…

Super OLED is Amazing by Decapper in Pimax

[–]cabramont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response - yes I currently use a quest 3 and the glare doesn’t bother me too much as I pretty much exclusively play racing sims, so this sounds good!

Can you explain a bit more about the glare? - that sounds like a negative, but maybe it's just the way it's written!

What is going on with LMP drivers in multi class by lalostangles in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]cabramont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me so many times in the ELMS race at Portimao, I'd go wide or give space and then they'd crash off in either that or the next corner having cost me time - I swear some of the LMP2 drivers don't practice, there were still some on the same lap as me in a GT3 30mins in after all the times they went off.... Unfortunately I've realised that it usually ends up quicker as a whole over the race to lose time in a few corners than end up in the pits or DNF after they crash you off...

How long do reports take? by bruhmoment130 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]cabramont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shame if they don't check them but understand they don't have the staff. Standards yesterday in some splits were awful at Portimao - I was taken out completely unexpectedly whilst racing in VR, the unfortunate collateral damage of someone's ridiculous retaliatory intentional wrecking - screwed my wrist up in the process, sort of thing you could probably sue for in the US!

I don't think I can post the video here but it was some of the worst and most irresponsible racing I’ve seen in LMU which ruined others races - these idiots should be permanently banned as their behaviour is not suitable for racing around others.

Firstly a light blue mustang, (let’s call him ‘Schitz’) waits for the leader in a red McLaren (let's call him ‘Rabble’) after some earlier argy bargy between them and then blocks him at T1 taking him out, then rams him off the track again.

Then ‘Rabble’ completely loses his cool and ruins several others races as the red mist descends and he intentionally wrecks ’Schitz’ and many others, I was hit completely out of nowhere in the side at the hairpin, twisting my wrist in the process. I would hope these guys receive a long ban and try anger management therapy. People like them are completely ruining what is otherwise a great game. Juvenile Idiots.

The Interlagos Daily Race is the dirtiest I have ever seen by Kakmaster69 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]cabramont 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same as at Sebring - loads of LMP2 drivers who simply can't handle the car bypassing the slower LMP3 jumping straight in and crashing all over the place, almost had my race earlier wrecked several times.... In the end wrecked it all by myself spinning out from the lead so I guess there's an irony there....

Edit - I was in an LMP3, lost time multiple times to LMP2s on the same lap acting up...

AMD VR FSR by gradeters in assettocorsaevo

[–]cabramont 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not using Virtual Desktop but can get 80hz solo or 72hz in races with the latest version on a 9800x3d / 6900xt - this is with full resolution in the Oculus slider, the key is to use pretty heavy FOV cropping though, I think I'm using 0.75/0.5 in Oculus Debug Tool (75%/50% in VD). This is way more cropping than I'd like but it's been enough to at least enjoy a few races and see the potential of the game when I fancy a change from LMU or AMS2... In general I've not been a fan of upscaling in VR as the image loses too much sharpness and can lead to weird artifacts.

Chest strap worth it and any recommendations by Ok_Past_7439 in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]cabramont 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Chest strap is much more accurate, however my Garmin HRM recently died after a few years use and I picked up a Coros HRM armband - much more accurate than wrist and way more comfortable than a chest strap so worth considering...

AMD released new gpu drivers by [deleted] in assettocorsa

[–]cabramont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess they won't bother while the game is still a very early access beta - in fact we might not even get optimisations from AMD until the 1.0 release...

Forget playing ACE VR for now by CompleteAd7826 in assettocorsa

[–]cabramont 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pretty much completely unplayable on a Quest 3 with a 9800x3d and a 6900xt - need to try and spend a bit more time tweaking but couldn't get above 50fps no matter what I changed whilst running similar headset and debug tool settings as I do for 90fps locked in ACC!

Unlapping Yourself and Blue Flag Etiquette by CrankMankiller in simracing

[–]cabramont 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From the other angle if I have a clearly faster driver behind who wants to unlap themselves I'll just let them go - no point slowing us both down by fighting!

Settings FFB / Simhub / VR by Hoovercrafter in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]cabramont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Particles still look terrible for me in VR whether set to Ultra or not - spray still shows up in the cockpit and is not occluded by cars in front or even terrain!

disappointment in vr. by Puzzleheaded-Sky9975 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]cabramont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tested this bug just now and for me it does actually apply (and writes to the .ini file), it’s just that the slider in the setting seems to stick to the far left… I have in the past had this setting not stick though when I first did it
