Odyssey VR specific bug reports - please contribute!

[Arioch]

I've noticed that the issue report is for Horizons, not Odyssey - I've checked both and I think the problem is mainly the anamorphic lens flare as mentioned by jojon; it is much more pronounced in Horizons. The effect is very toned down in Odyssey.

The starlight beams that rotate with your head also encroach upon the cockpit space but the large horizontal beam is the main baddie:

Fourth time lucky?

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/49401 - Comms panel “local” in VR disappears

 

[epoch5]

Since the console scrapping there should be time to put VR in ODY

Just added this: 2D screen for on-foot VR now looks very low res and pixellated with severe jaggies / no antialiasing. Used to look acceptable in earlier builds but now very bad?

Have you got any screenshots you could post? There was an issue with the AMD FSR not being applied to the virtual flatscreen (which I reported last year and was repaired in the next Update) giving an incredibly low resolution on-foot screen, but I’ve not experienced that since the fix.

Antialiasing is now the number 1 issue on the Tracker so hopefully we’ll get some benefit from any fix for that, I’m not sure it’s VR specific problem

OK will get screenshot when next have access to that PC

All VR related issue reports since Odyssey went live are collected below. Please add confirmations on the reports that need it and add votes as you see fit.

The only Top 20 issue (FSS Orbit Lines) had this said about it in the last Dev update:

“Currently this is not possible due to how the camera interacts in VR. We're absolutely recognising it as an issue, however this is at the moment secondary in priority to performance improvements.”

If you’ve voted for that issue, your vote could be better used elsewhere for the time being!

[Arioch]

New issue report, and something I didn’t think was VR specific: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/49476 - Scatter cell fade-in value resetting.

It’s the thing when driving/flying towards rock scatter on planets and they are already visible, then disappear and re-fade back into existence. I see this every time I’m driving so I’ll be adding my confirmations shortly.

(Edit: apparently not VR-specific, but hopefully that will mean more confirmations )

 

[Arioch]

New issue report: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/49623 - VR fire controls activate but do not fire - I’m not able to duplicate the problem; are they losing game focus perhaps?

 

[VR Mr Teatime]

New issue report: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/49623 - VR fire controls activate but do not fire - I’m not able to duplicate the problem; are they losing game focus perhaps?

Could be - I had this issue when running the 2D monitor in a windowed session - kept losing focus as the mouse appears not bound to the window extents. I went full screen as a work around and alt-tab into it once the hanger is loaded in.

 

[Arioch]

New issue reports: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/49785 - No inputs working in VR - sounds like another game-loses-focus issue, and https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/49791 - Oculus Rift S no longer works - which I’m guessing is the Steam/Oculus interaction issue that others have experienced.

Hopefully the issue submitters have solutions already and they’ll be able to play again

 

[epoch5]

I played in VR yesterday. with no issues. HP Reverb 2. But the docking computer nearly killed me again.

 

[Arioch]

It’s the Paper Anniversary of the thread already - many thanks to all those who took the time to submit VR reports after Odyssey’s launch and to all those who added Confirmations and their precious votes

There are a heartening number of fixed issues under the spoiler tab in the OP, and all the extant confirmed bugs have been Acknowledged by FDev. Hopefully this thread helped

Of the remaining unconfirmed reports, I’d say the disappearing/fading-in surface rocks is the only one with a chance - though with 5 more confirmations required and only the weekend left before it expires, it’s a slim chance at best. Despite what the report title says, it’s not a VR-specific issue so I’ll probably resubmit it next week as a more general bug.

Fingers crossed this thread doesn’t make it to its Cotton Anniversary

 

[silence please]

I played in VR yesterday. with no issues.

Well that settles it then, lock the thread ignore the acknowledged issues and let's call it a wrap.

On a more serious note (sort of), thanks for the diligence @Arioch, I'd normally say hopefully it won't have a second anniversary but well... reality and all.

I think epoch5 was referring to the No Inputs / Rift S not working bug reports in my preceding post, though if they’re having an issue-free VR session I’d like to know more details of their set-up

Thanks for the thanks, though I’m sure you’ll be correct about this thread’s longevity - the top voted issue is just over three years old now. Fingers crossed that one has got a Nexus-6 replicant’s lifespan, though I’ll be fine with FDev’s Blade Runner units retiring the issue early

 

[Scubadog]

Since the console scrapping there should be time to put VR in ODY

Just keep telling yourself that. They've made it clear they're not doing anything to improve the VR experience. Visuals are HORRIBLE compared to Horizons. Performance is HORRIBLE compared to Horizons. And I don't even use any of the on-foot aspects. I just want planets to look good again when I'm cruising over them. There's nothing attractive about them in VR in Odyssey.

 

[epoch5]

If they don't fix those planets there isn't going to be much of a game left to play pretty soon.

 

[Arioch]

Looks like there are a few VR fixes inbound tomorrow:

• Fixed an issue where a black box could appear on the main menu in certain scenarios when either in or switching to VR
• Fixed an issue where the introduction during the on-foot tutorial would not be correctly displayed when in VR

The black box problem was reported last year but expired with only a few confirmations - nice to know that it got looked at anyway.

Fixed the offset default VR camera for the Scorpion when in the livery hangar.

No longer getting the “just run over” outlook in the hangar (and another expired report (from me!) that’s been fixed anyway)

• Shadows would appear to detach from light sources when looking around in VR

Yes! I can start driving the SRV in the dark again

Not VR specific, but one of my reports is getting fixed (a bit more)

Further increased the scale of the small landing pad schematic used at Odyssey settlements

Looking forward to not having to look forward at the teeny tiny landing holo!

New issue report: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/50383 - Shadow flicker in VR - experienced this myself before, shadows are flickering in and out of existence at Stations, planetary bases, and landscapes. I’ll be adding my confirmations to the report and will appreciate it if anyone would take the time to do likewise
