Please improve VR performance

Elite Dangerous is stunning in VR.

However, the rendering of many planet surfaces is awful. After literally hours of tweaking the graphics settings, there are issues with flickering and shimmering artifacts, which really breaks the emersion and ruins the experience for me.

I recently upgraded to an RX 7800 XT GPU and AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor. The improvement in VR performance in other games was really noticeable but only marginal in ED.

I really believe addressing these VR issues will attract many more users as VR adoption will inevitably continue to rise.

Games such as Star Citizen are likely to include VR support in the near future so ED will need to stay ahead of the game.

VR.
They dropped development of it ages ago. Quite why I have no idea.
VR yes it's fabulous 👌 In elite. I used to get alot of reprojection, artifacting, lag, etc with my old headset & cpu. But since switching to the new stuff it's been seamless. All on ultra or high in glorious 4k +.
Let's hope they see the error or their ways and recommence development.
 
If you haven't already I'd suggest switching from steamVR to openXR. Makes a huge difference. Also use the ingame amd upscaling fsr options. Try em both see which suits your setup.
There's a few optimisations you can do in windows too.

Thanks for the tips. Always welcome! I've just moved over to Virtual Desktop which improved things. I'll check out open XR too.
