Odyssey VR specific bug reports - please contribute!

OP has been updated; one new issue reported - https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/36020 - looks to me to be a non-bug and just needs the correct panel settings in the options.

@Nirosta - If you’re getting an “issue cannot be loaded” message then the report has been deleted for some reason. Sometimes it’s because it’s a known issue.

@Commander Deschain - the crashing launcher can be solved, it’s something to do with the .Net framework if I remember correctly, or do what I do and start the Frontier Launcher before the Oculus one.

I don’t know if this is still working, but you could try doing this:

Go to C:/Program Files (x86)/Frontier/EDLaunch and you'll find a file EDLaunch.exe.config. Back up this file.

Then open it using Notepad and look for the following lines
<supportedRuntime Version="v2.0.50727"/ >
<supportedRuntime Version="v4.0"/ >

Switch the lines so they look like this:
<supportedRuntime Version="v4.0"/ >
<supportedRuntime Version="v2.0.50727"/ >

I dont like the SRV movement. you push the button to move forward and the they is a big pause before you move. not easy to control.
was easy in horizons. anyway of changing it?
 
Now Odyssey has gone live with some of the VR bugs still extant from the Alpha - it’d help the bug reports to be confirmed with the required 10 reproduction notes. Here are the ones I’ve added to or submitted - please let me know if there are other ones I’ve missed and I’ll add them to this OP. I’m not adding anything that’s “VR performance sux!” style - only reproducible bugs.

System map lighting in Odyssey is wrong and does not look anything like the same in Horizons. (I posted a thread with images)

Lighting given by stars does not illuminate other bodies such as ships does not match what is in Horizons (in the same thread)

Hyperspace jump animation in Odyssey is totally borked and nothing like what's in Horizons - just jump to a system, you will see it. Whichspace is more like $h1tspace. (I'll make a video if no one has reported it)

The FSS is a mess. Scanned planets do not display properly. Ringed planets do not appear with their rings.


IT's nonsense to make people confirm VR specific bugs. They know the released a bucket of hot slop. What's true is they got our money and we got junk. FDev should get dragged for eterninty over this . They "sold" everyone some shiny goodies and delivered a pig.

@David Braben must address the glaring and abysmal VR bugs and performance specifically. It's just irresponsible to ignore it and the customers who use VR.

I'm holding off my Odyssey purchase until the worst VR-related problems have been sorted, just want to commend @Arioch for maintaining an excellent and very helpful thread! :)
Thanks for the kind words 👍

OP has been updated - two “confirming” issues have reached ten confirmations so hopefully they will be getting promoted to “vote” status at some stage (edit: I’ve reduced both to 9 and 8 confirmations respectively after checking the contributors unique ID’s).

Edit: another one I’d missed - https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/28904 - 2D overlays in VR - can be voted on, and the later bug report that I had seen has been moved into the “duplicate” section.

OP has been updated - just some confirmations on a pair of “confirming” issues.

Looks like there are no new VR-related bugs being reported (beyond the usual “performance sux!” ones 😁) so hopefully we’ve captured all the ones for Odyssey 👍
 
Please add this one to the list:

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/31555 - Free camera does not move, cannot detached from ship, or CMDR.

It's now possible to vote on it.

And this one is still around, even after over two years...

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/204 - Planets and Moons orbit lines not visible in the FSS when in VR
I’ll add the first one but it’s the same as https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/32730 - although the one you’ve posted is an earlier version, the one I’ve got listed has “acknowledged” status, which I’d prefer players to vote on. Thanks for posting it though, I tend to miss the ones without “VR” in the title 👍

I’ve posted before about the orbit lines - it’s one of my standing “voted for” issues, but this thread is only for stuff that’s cropped up in Odyssey.
