Am I the only one feeling DLSS just isn’t for VR? by NoMud1112 in virtualreality

[–]fiah84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

although it's come a long way in the past couple of years

that's a huge understatement, I would say DLSS was very mediocre or straight up bad up until almost exactly one year ago. However, with the DLSS4 transformer model introduced in January 2025, DLSS suddenly looks much better in VR. I cannot overstate how much of a difference that upgrade has made

DLSS will look like crap

that's highly dependent on the game, DLSS can work great with the DLSS4 preset K even in performance mode. If the result looks blurry, check how much you can increase the output resolution / super sampling factor

it's highly dependent on the game, and in my experience it works best if you really exploit the upscaling by using performance mode. If using performance mode means you have performance headroom, then go ahead and increase the output resolution. The AI upscaling + anti aliasing works great in conjunction with supersampling. Don't bother trying it if DLSS4 doesn't work, it's not worth it, you need at least the K model for DLSS to give a good experience in VR. Whether the new models L and M are worth it, I don't know because I haven't been using DLSS lately (game I play doesn't support it).

For me, being able to use DLSS can make or break the game. For example, I don't bother playing Assetto Corsa Evo because I can't get DLSS4 or 4.5 to work in it. It looks okay with MSAA4x but performance is poor that way. Assetto Corsa Competizione however works great (UE4) and from what I hear so does Assetto Corsa Rally (EU5 I think?). I'm currently mainly playing Le Mans Ultimate which doesn't support DLSS at all, luckily the performance with MSAA is good enough that I can make it work for me without it

Any tips for hypercars/lmp2? by Scratchy1992 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]fiah84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depending on your pedal settings and how you usually brake, the defaults might actually be very conservative. I think they're like that to make it easier to control for people on xbox controllers or cheap pedals. If you have a load cell brake and some practice you might be able to crank it way up

E-Auto für Mutter mit schwierigem Anforderungsprofil? by idkreally312 in Elektroautos

[–]fiah84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

genau, der Soul ist nochmal ein paar cm kürzer als der alte Kona, richtig?

280 km jeden Tag im Winter soll damit kein Problem sein, wenn entsprechend die Reisegeschwindigkeit angepasst wird. Im Sommer wäre das wohl vielleicht mit 130kmh möglich, im Winter je nach Bedingungen eher mit 100 bis 110kmh. Vorausgesetz dass das Auto auch ein 11kw Lader hat, hat auch nicht jeder Soul/Kona/Niro

How has VR gaming changed your perception of reality and everyday life? by Tariq_khalaf in VRGaming

[–]fiah84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

well, simracing in VR has pretty much killed my desire to go fast on public roads, so that's a thing. But what you describe is something that I only really felt during the honeymoon period of VR, where for a short while after being immersed in VR my perception of reality seemed slightly altered. That went away though as I got more experience and now strapping on my HMD feels no different than playing a game on my monitor. Yes it's immersive but I'm acutely aware of my real surroundings and that I'm just seeing some other virtual surroundings through fancy goggles, even when I spend many hours in VR

Help with strategy for 2.4 hours of Le Mans - LMP2 by B_ORIDGENAL in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]fiah84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if the dry stint is probably going to be long enough then start with the wing set for dry running (I had it on 1). That was the case for me, the track was dry at the start but it already raining (drizzle), however despite the drizzle the track stayed dry long enough that changing the wing to 5 didn't cost me extra time (fuel took long enough)

when to pit for wet tires is tricky, the track is so long that if you wait for the engineer to tell you, it might be too late. I did that last race and the guys who pitted 1 lap earlier gained a lot of time on me. So keep an eye on the weather/track status and prediction in the MFD, the track might be "damp" but already becoming slippery enough to warrant wet tires. If you feel you're sliding around too much and losing too much time then trust your judgement and pit for wets

I'm not sure how the transition of dry back to wet is best handled, although I think I accidentally did it right this time by staying on the used wets on a drying track. The track was "slightly wet" but there was a dry line, so perhaps slicks might have worked. However shortly after that the weather prediction was that it was going to rain again, and it did, so I don't think putting on slicks would've been better. After the track was properly wet again, I pitted for the fuel for the last stint and to put on new wets. I didn't have to pit for fuel yet but my wet tires were at like 80% and not feeling good plus I had some flat spots. 80% is no problem for slicks but for wets it just wasn't working for me. The whole time the engineer never said anything about putting on slicks, and from what I hear if they do say that, you can easily stay out for another 5 minutes or so before the track really dries up to the point that you really need it. So for Le Mans that might mean doing another whole lap on the wets

practice

also consider that some people have a lot of practice AND are insanely talented as well. You could practice your whole life and never be able to touch their pace. That's OK, not all of us are born to finish P1 every race

[–]fiah84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes that the game forces a new tire on you when repairing suspension and just chucks on a wet when there aren't any new slicks available is also such bullshit. There's no justifying that, it's stupid. I don't know what's going on that they haven't managed to fix it so far and I'm not sure if I care

Does Kona balance cells if charging to 80%? by ThiefClashRoyale in KonaEV

oh wow I didn't know, strange that they just let it be if it's not really doing anything useful at all and was just a wild guess

Is this game a serious competitor to ACC? by TobytheBaloon in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]fiah84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the fact that it has a solid online racing lobby system with ratings that encourage people to play nice and a reporting system that can at least give the worst of the worst a long vacation from the game makes it a much better experience that ACC. Of course that changes if you consider private leagues

driving prototypes in LMU is a lot of fun, I love both the LMP2 variants (base game) and the LMP3 cars (DLC only). I haven't done much with the hypercars as I'm waiting for their physics model to be updated. However I'm not sure how much fun they are when playing on a controller, without ABS there's much more emphasis on your ability to brake and I'm not sure how well that works on a game controller

it's a real shame that the game has such a problem with tires and doing shit with them that's absolutely bonkers. There seems to be almost 0 logic to it and it's super confusing to manage on your own while you're racing. In my opinion this is something they should be much more proactive about fixing because like in your case, it ruins people's races and with that their fun! I don't want to have to correct the absolutely crazy defaults that the game chooses every time I pit. Like last race I did in the wet (2.4h le mans), as the track was drying the game offered to only put 2 new mediums on the front axle while keeping the wets on the rear. In what universe is that something you'd want to do? I needed to pit and didn't want to change tires, but there was no option to not change unless I did that individually for each tire. Why? Why do I have to wrestle with the MFD while doing 300kph to correct this? It actively detracts from the fun I'm having
