Quest 3 - brightness drops on one lens

[Ypsan]

Hi guys,

Would anyone happen to know what could be the reason for one lense to become dimmer than the other while playing the game?

Its not always but just in some situations. I guess when the viewing angle is such that more light sources are comming from one side and the other side behaves like auto dim is turned on somewhere? The feeling when it happens is like if you have a blind spot on one eye (on a dimmed side) and it is very distracting.

I have 3090 and 11900k. Using wifi to connect Oculus 3 to PC. But access point (wifi 7) is very close to me sitting on a desk and PC is hooked with ethernet cable. Also, I am using VD with OpenXR toolkit and Open composit as described in this post: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...e-virtual-desktop-with-non-steamvr-ed.622051/

The game plays and looks great on VR except for this little problem. Any suggestions from fellow CMDRS?

If you check the pinned bug report thread in this forum, you’ll see it’s the second most popular VR bug - and has unfortunately been around since 2022.

Oh thank you for pointing that out to me. Should have done that first indeed.

I just contributed on the link provided by Arioch so here is hoping. Yes it is very annoying and it is a shame developers are not very interested in VR side of the game, or so I hear.

While I owned ED for a very very long time, I just started playing a week ago and jumped straight into VR. Took a while to set it all but thanks to your guide it was all worth the trouble, so cheers for that CMDR! o7

It happens for me too, on a Valve Index using SteamVR, so I don't think it's specific to any one headset.

Happens to me too with my G2, mostly when flying / looking perpendicular to stars, i.e. when the star is only visible in one eye.
