Powerplay Beta 1.3 live, lets test if it improves performance for VR!
- Thread starter Commander Pew Pew
- Start date
I'm in same boat, can't really play the beta as rift graphics are terrible and no orientation reset either. Is the Reset Oculus Orientation working for anyone? Really hope they fix this soon so we can do some testing.
I would very much like FD to comment on the what, where and when.
Hate to say this, but it appears that FD is going from a full support (in beta), to lip service (on release) to not even this today.
Yes, the DK2 is a _development_ kit that will be superseeded later this winter and next year, but this is the time where knowledge is gained on every SDK iteration - they need to be tested too.

Yes, there is.
And you can remap the key, but it still doesn't work.

I know this is a beta but I'm kinda leaning towards thinking the reason no VR questions are being answered is because no one knows.
Well, VR is now officially the redheaded stepchild.
OK just tried sitting in correct position before starting Ed up and that solved the orientation issue for me, for now until they fix it. and with Nvidia DSR at least it's now playable and seems a bit less juddery than before. I see they have curved the main menu round for VR users
Guy's, no offence but this is beta, log a ticket if you find issues, complain if nothing is resolved at release.

I know it's a beta but the lack of answers over the last few months coupled with builds that seem to not even have been checked on the Rift seem to suggest that Frontier have put VR on the back burner. Couldnt be more disappointed.

You are not wrong but this is the second release that borked the rift support instead of improving it. To my mind that does not bode well.

This goes way beyond just the 1.3 beta. VR has been shelved for a long long time.

Fired up 1.3 to have a look. Unplayable.
Maybe just a subtle semi-mention:
"One suspected cause for driver micro-stutters addressed"
Beyond that, no surprise the new Oculus driver isn't included. Something that low-level would never get fast-tracked into the release. They'll run it through a full internal testing cycle first, for sure. That's just how it goes.

We are testing the beta. And we are testing the VR implementation. This is the VR forum after all.
Also, calling people crying babies is really adding to the discussion, chapeau!
Ya. Aren't we a bunch of entitled whiners? Thanks for stopping by, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
So anyway, I hope FD gets back to VR sometime soon as it is now it's been way too long and way too little love for VR from FD.
Head look working great for me, not had to do any reset in 1 hour (with a few beta server crashes) reset does work but in major steps.
Lot of the approaching planets stutter gone too.

Yes I agree with a lot of players here, it does indeed look like a backwards step in terms of quality on the DK2, however lets not forget it is a beta and this shift in both DK2 quality and functionality happened a lot in previous betas, I expect some fixes in the next patch, probably later on Also worth mentioning whenever FD road show ED they always have DK2's at hand for people to try, I can't see them relaxing their VR development, surely they will want to maintain their VR prestige.. For me its the reason I got both ED and my DK2, they are not mutually exclusive.
