Thanks so much guys, switched to VDXR and it does seem to be better. Two questions for the both of you if you have the time; Do you also have a 7900xtx? Are you running wireless, wired via USB, or adapted to ethernet, and what are your VD settings and latencies? Thanks very much as always

Hey @Miles Vorkosigan, Thanks for commenting! Your comment is an exciting glimmer of hope for me now looking to get back into DCS and figure out this VR thing. I've disabled "Virtual Desktop Streamer (Quest)" in SteamVR Settings-Startup/Shutdown-Manage Add-ons, however I'm not sure how to force the oculus runtime as my DCS shortcut had these arguments "--force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR" , that's how I could get it to run in VR. Do you know which arguments I should be putting (or that your friend puts), as since disabling the setting you mentioned DCS no longer opens in VR with steamVR anymore. EDIT: I figured out I can launch DCS by right clicking the VD icon in the bottom right of my desktop and launching the game from there, and it uses the oculus runtime Problem now is when I'm using the multithreaded version of DCS with the oculus runtime, I get constant flickering alternating in both eyes, even at the main menu. After forcing SSW active it makes the flickering mostly go away but it's still quite laggy looking around with black bars in my periphery with latency 40-50ms at the main menu. The single threaded version of DCS seems to be better but still not what I would expect, definitely not the smooth VR experience you're describing. Have you encountered this before? This could be caused by my less-than-optimal wireless vr setup at the moment. I've got a dedicated router arriving today from amazon and I'll also try going wired with USB C tethering or maybe a usb c ethernet adapter like you. Could you give me an example of one of these pass through chargers that I can also use the ethernet with? Perhaps I'll also update to windows 11 lol.

Yes, before I center in DCS with my PICO and VD, I'm sat about 1-2 metres above the screen for some reason. Only happens on startup and never have to do it again for as long as DCS is open though so not too worried. Are you having similar issues Annapolis? Yeah, thanks, it's been pretty rough. Yeah I'm using the latest driver associated with that post. I believe it did help a bit to be honest. Been a rollercoaster though Thanks nikoel As far as I know I'm using it... I mean, in the VD performance overlay it says steamVR but I'm able to use the openXR overlay that you see with the fps counter. I've got the arguments in the DCS shortcut --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR I hope and think I am, but to be honest I'm not entirely sure. Yeah, I just realised that my bitrate is at 150, not sure why considering I normally run it at 100 or so. Have changed that and it's definitely better, but not as good as I was expecting. SteamVR was set to 250% for some reason? probably because that's the setting that VD sets using godlike maybe? I'll give it a shot changing it to 100%, thanks Qcumber Ok I'll keep the PD at 1 in DCS (pretty sure that's where it's at right now as I haven't touched it). Good idea locking the fps in adrenaline instead of openXR, will give that a shot. Thanks Ted

Hi all, Long time DCSer and newbie to VR I've built a new pc with a 7900xtx and 7800x3d, and have a few questions Below is a screenshot of the results I get sitting at the main menu using the pico 4 streaming assistant and virtual desktop tethered. This is using the multithreaded version of dcs also. Is this similar to what others are getting? I understand the 7900xtx has some teething issues with VR at the moment, but this is even using the supposed vr fix driver they released a few days ago, see below also Here is a screenshot of virtual desktop tethered in the f18 in the quick start gauntlet mission, the headroom I is due to a framerate target set at 72fps using openxr and quickly disappears once I start to look around etc. And a pic of my current settings It's making me wonder whether it was a waste purchasing this card, or if there's anything I can do. Something just doesnt seem right. Summary Is a laggy experience normal and what others are experiencing with the 7900xtx in DCS? Is a >15,20ms game render time and >10,15 transmit time normal? I've just realised that I should drop the bitrate from 150 down to something like 100 perhaps to decrease the decode time on the pico, but it doesn't explain the massive render times Essentially, anyone else running similar specs at the moment, what are your settings? Any help would be so greatly appreciated, part of the reason I built this pc was specifically to play DCS , and now that my trackir got lost when moving, without forking out more money for another and since I would prefer, I'd like to get VR to work Any other information required please let me know Thanks all Mika
