Fall update, and locked to 60fps in VR, resulting in lots of visual weirdness. +with probable fix

Like the title say.

Got hit with the Creators Update a day or so ago, and since then VR performance has been weird in ED, Project cars 2 has seem to be fine, but have only played it for a few sessions.
Did a full re-install of ED last night and thought it was sorted, but nope weird again today.

Well after a lot of fooling around, and today been grapping recordings, and looking at the FPS and utilisation of mainly CPU and GPU.

I noticed that when things would get weird, as in an odd failing of ASW and stars and outside world would give an odd double vision when moving the ship\srv.
ED would lock to 60fps, instead of either 45 or 90 and I believe this is just not compatible with the Oculus runtimes and or the fps scaling.

After a bit of googling I got pointed to the now new and fancy "DVR" feature that would lock certain games to exactly 60fps.
After having gone into settings and disabled this feature things have been stable and honestly performed well so far.
I'm just posting this here cause more and more will be hit with this, and possible have the same bug.

Go into settings. click the "Gaming" button.

At the "Game bar" section uncheck the "Record game clips, etc, etc".

Like so.

I have so far today after doing this had three seperate sessions where FPS has been very good, even better than before.
Needed to hit up a Haz-RES to see ASW kick in for long periods of time, and that was only the case after some wreckage had piled up and the instance had been around for a few minutes.

So far consider myself lucky with the Creator update, haven't needed to re-install the oculus software etc, it's mostly just been this ED thing.
Which is as we know, the only game that matters.
 
I’ve been suffering from the same “weirdness” since I got hit with the Creators update. I’ll have to give this a try and see if it helps.
 
Thanks, thought I had messed up the overclock on my 1080TI, haven't been able to figure out what was wrong. This seems to have solved everything.
 
I'm stuck at Windows 10 1511 or something... Every update fails with some cryptic error. I had been feverishly trying to update to the creators update but Error during SAFE_OS BOOT or some such.
I think I'll just stay the way I am. It's already worse than 8.1 was.

I find win 10 is still a windows, so on occasion it needs a fresh install.
After the last major update all 'apps' like photo viewer and the calculator would just freeze to a blank screen, heck even the microsoft store hung on the intro screen.
Only thing that actually fixed anything was to install from scratch.

Which is a bit easier than it used to, I am lazy so I just use https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 to make a usb.
It will then download and format up a USB for you and this image has most if not all updates loaded up, so no dreaded 500+ updates to download, and definetely has creators on it.
If you are just re installing on a machine it doesn't even need a license key to activate MS hides that on the mobo or something creepy like now.

Used that last night actually to setup my new rig, but I suspect they are being hammered a bit cause the tool itself kept failing with an error that seems to indicate it can't contact the server with EULA on it...
Tried it on a few different machines but no love, until a few hours later it just worked.

Just wanted to update this thread. After lots of experimenting all my visual issues ended up being an issue with the NVidea released at the end of Oct (388.13, I think). Ended up rolling back to a build from September and everything was ok again. Nvidea has released new drivers today (388.31) that is supposed to fix the stuttering issues, as well. So far the reports on Reddit is that the new drivers are working well.

Thanks for the update. I ran into this issue as well, even the Oculus home screen would stutter until I rolled back to an older driver. I might try the newest updated this weekend.

Could you possibly link to the reddit reports? :)

Yeah there is a plethora of issues going on atm, and the 388.13 driver was one.
But since I was still staying on 385, until windows silently updated me last week, I wasn't hitting that.

It's like Microsoft is on a mission to ruin gaming.
Currently on 388.31 and it seems ok.
