VR current state

Hi everyone,

could one tell me the current state of Odyssey in VR after latest update ?
I cancelled my order when I first saw Odyssey performances on VR at release.

- is there a key to switch from VR to monitor when on foot ? Playing with grey burka is for me unbearable, so removing headset could be a solution… (but can’t go each time into options, etc…)

- how are VR performances compared to Horizon ? Can we have same VR graphic quality in Odyssey than in Horizon ?
3070/Ryzen 2700x/Oculus Quest 2 here.

- at lasr but not least, is there some kind of a mod way to make the game perform and played in VR on foot ?
Thanks :)
 
My system: Ryzen R5 2600x, RTX 2070, 16gb ram with Oculus Rift S.

I find there is a lot more shimmering going on, generally.
Stuttering around stations that does not happen i Horizons.
Lighting issues seems far more pronounced in VR to me.
Some planets look extremely cartoonish from a distance, and shimmers quite a lot when landed.

If you go with grey burka solution, remember that the screen you see projected is using the monitor resolution you set.
 
My system: i7 10700KF, OCed GTX 1080TI, 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4, NVME SSD with HP Reverb G1 (SteamVR set at 75% 2,268 x 2,268p).

Horizons (HMD set at 80Hz, settings VR optimized mostly on high and some medium):
Space: Solid 80 fps almost always without reprojections
Stations: some reprojections near and inside stations but still very playable

The Odyssey (update 6): (HMD set at 60Hz so it can do reprojection from locked 30fps, medium settings)
Space: Solid 60 fps when in dark space with minor reprojections and stutters around planets/asteroids and near ships
Stations: locked 30fps 60fps reprojection near and when landing in stations with occasional stutters
Settlements: Flying over bases is still puke evoking stuttering mess when not being able to achieve locked 30fps
FSR: small fps improvement, but makes text too blurry for my taste and edges look weird to me. Not worth it imho

Conclusion: Fdevs please, please don't turn off Horizon's servers until The Odyssey gets optimization it needs. Merging of Horizon and Odyssey would effectively kill VR atm.
