After reading the current DEV update today and noticing our supercruise stutter issue isn't even leading the list of bugs to fix I have decided I am done with VR in Elite for now. I dearly love ELITE in VR but cannot handle the horrible fps drops in supercruise. its making me sick and this is running on a 980SLI system. I truly suspect FDEV is pushing the htc vive and has little interest in supporting oculus at this time if ever. I hope I am wrong. I will return if they fix this issue especially when horizon's come out. Perhaps I should be thanking FDEV as this will now force me to work harder on my own game development projects instead of all the time I had been spending in ED.
I am done with ELITE VR for a while

- Start date
I havent noticed any stutter in SC for a couple of days now. Admittedly Im only getting a couple of hours of gaming a night at best, but I was getting the stutter before while gaming as little as that. Maybe there has been a fix behind the scenes?
Anyway, sorry to hear you cmdrs are still having issues. That sucks

Just a thought but have you tried reinstalling windows, or at least ED? I say this because if it was a game issue surely we would all be having problems. My pc is a new build, fresh windows install and all running so smoothly. That's a gtx 970 on high with 1.5 supersampling in game and Oculus slider at 0.75%. Can't see my frameable but I'm getting no judder in stations or in supercruise

This. Now excuse me while I take my rage out on the cat for someone suggesting that I reformat my pc on a hunch.
For me Elite is running better than ever, so smooth now compared to build 1.3. Are any of you who are having issues with Elite using extra stuff like sweetFX and if yes have you tried removing all the extra stuff and running Elite vanilla to compare and contrast?
Interestingly enough that thought has not occurred to me. I am running sweetfx. ill nuke that when I get home from the office. What I do want to know is for people who are not having issues with supercruise jutter and are still running smooth after 2+ minutes in supercruise what video card are you using. I had a post earlier asking this and the merged it with another which is not what I wanted.
Totally vanilla. Maybe even beige truth be known. All of the settings are at their lowest.
I'm vanilla, same SC jitter for me too.. I was hoping this would be addressed in these fixes.. Oh well maybe next time..
I'd forgotten to reload the SweetFX files in after the patch and had the horrid SC judder in some systems.
Adding SweetFX back in made no difference. Just better looking judder.
I don't only get bad judder, when fps has dropped I've noticed that Im getting a double image whilst moving my head. HUD lines are sort of splitting out into multiple lines.
I'm sort of playing through it but my game time has dropped considerably :-[
I'm even considering trying it out with plain ol' 2D

I went back to 2D too yesterday! I do that sometimes for keeping the awesomeness of VR.. really thinking about playing in 2D till Horizon lands... this will blow my mind again for sure!
If you are on windows 10 and a 290x i suggest you try the old Catalyst 14.12 win 8.1 64-bit driver
found here: https://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2439/amd-catalyst-14-12-omega-win-8-1-64-bit/mirrors
It made my SC performance jump from 9fps to 75 in a very busy system. So very playable. The driver might of course
be bad or even crash if you want to play other newly released games. But for ED its really great.

I've been trying to play through the post 1.4 stutter/double vision issues but have given up as it's just unplayable now if theres any ships in system. I really hope they fix it, but FD dont seem too intrested. they act like it's a minor bug and instead are patching small issues and ignoring major problems.
In fairness they did say that they are still working on it in the last dev update, so its not that they arent interested. I just hope its not something on the level of the original planetary SC stutter that took about a year to sort out.
Yep, but the stuttering was a minor issue in 1.3 It has become a unplayable mess in SC in inhabited systems since 1.4 so something was changed during the patch. and i've tested on my 3 rigs and all have the same issue since 1.4 Different Os windows 10/8 and 7, different graphics cards etc, even my gaming laptop and only thing common between the 3 pc's was the 1.4 patch.
