HOW TO: Enable Motion Reprojection for WMR

No, that uses motion smoothing, set in SteamVR video settings

should i use that or not? even at a shown 45+ fps i still get stutter sometimes

I’m trying to find a way of locking the Reverb at 45 FPS. Is that possible? I just bought it a couple of days ago, and I’m seriously considering returning it, because of the stutters. My frame rates bounce between 90 and 45. I have the Rift S, and that thing is smooth with an ocasional stutter every now and then. Frames are constant at 40. The Reverb leaves me with a light headache every time! Hasn’t failed at that yet!

"driver_Holographic_Experimental" : {

// Motion reprojection doubles framerate through motion vector extrapolation

// motionvector = force application to always run at half framerate with motion vector reprojection

// auto = automatically use motion reprojection when the application can not maintain native framerate

"motionReprojectionMode" : "motionvector",

Here is my short guide for WMR users showing them how to enable Steam's Motion Reprojection. Motion reprojection is not enabled by default (at this time of writing) in SteamVR. Here's what you need to do so it is operational:

 

1 - You will need to access your //steamlibrary/steamapps/common/MixedRealityVRDriver/resources/settings folder and edit the file named "default.vrsetting" - Make a backup if necessary. I recommend using Notepad++ to edit the file and you can get that here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

 

2 - Remove the "//" from the lines indicating motionreprojectionmode and motionReprojectionIndicatorEnabled

 

Here is what the code looks like once the edits have been made (emphasis added):

 

{
   "driver_Holographic" : {
       "renderTargetScale" : 1.0
   },
   "driver_Holographic_Experimental" : {
       // Motion reprojection doubles framerate through motion vector extrapolation 
       //     motionvector = force application to always run at half framerate with motion vector reprojection
       //     auto         = automatically use motion reprojection when the application can not maintain native framerate
      [b] "motionReprojectionMode" : "auto",[/b]

       // Automatic motion reprojection indicator to display the mode currently selected
       //     green      = off because application can render at full framerate
       //     light blue = on because application is cpu bound
       //     dark blue  = on because application is gpu bound
       //     red        = off because application running at less than half framerate
       [b]"motionReprojectionIndicatorEnabled" : true,[/b]
       
       // Some people may experience increased discomfort such as nausea, motion sickness, dizziness,
       // disorientation, headache, fatigue, or eye strain when using thumbstick controls in Windows Mixed Reality.
       "thumbstickControlsEnabled" : false, // true = use thumbsticks for artificial turn/move, false = default application thumbstick behavior
       "thumbstickControlsReversed" : false,
       "thumbstickTurnSmooth" : false,
       "thumbstickDeadzone" : 0.25
   },
   "NoInterEyeRotation" : {
       "DOOMVFRx64.exe" : true
   }
}

3 - Close that file and save your changes and that's it.

 

NB: You will see a small square in the upper left hand part of your headset. When it is green you are getting 90fps. If it is light blue motion reprojection is active and you are CPU limited. If the square is dark blue motion reprojection is active and you are GPU limited.

 

Good luck and good flying! :pilotfly::smartass::thumbup:

Just trying to setup my reverb version2 and I seem to have 2 versions of

the default.vrsettings file one that has a type of "vrsettings file" and the other has a type of .txt which one should I delete?

also is it better to have "motionreprojection" as auto or motion vector? and

in the WMR menu is it best to setting the hz as 60 or 90?

default.vrsetting

Use 90hz

Anyone know if this has changed with latest beta version? I am following Thud’s instructions to setup my new Reverb but am a bit stuck with enabling Reprojection in SteamVR. I have beta version enabled as per instructions, and have also removed the \\ but ‘Reprojection on’ isn’t appearing in the settings page as illustrated. In fact I have nothing listed in the left pane below the word ‘Developer’ like in the guide. I have SteamVR version 1.9.16 and would be very grateful if anyone has advice.

Thanks

Nothing changed regarding enabling motion repro.

If you want to have some visible feedback inside DCS, just enable the indicator:

"motionReprojectionIndicatorEnabled" : true

This shows four small squares near the top left corner (default) and gives feedback that motion repro is active and if so whether it's CPU or GPU related.

For me the indicator is visible when I have set motion reprojection to "auto". When I set motion reprojection to "motiovector" the indicator doesn't show up anymore. I have the "motionReprojectionIndicatorEnabled" line just as it was before, set to "true". The only thing I changed is setting from

"motionReprojectionMode" : "auto",

to

"motionReprojectionMode" : "motionvector",

and that makes the indicator disappear. So don't know if it is working or not.

For the people who do not care about some artifacts when looking around quickly.

I mostly fly jets and monitor systems anyway...

I fly with 30FPS, i've set WMR at 60Hz in the windows options and forced motionvector on.

This way i can increase my graphics settings and be stutter free!

Stutters for me are the worst in VR. And flying in 30FPS aint that bad at all, no more stutters!

Also works for X-plane ;)

If you activate "moctionvector" it does not show the indicator since reproyectionmode is ALWAYS active.

Thanks, that makes sense :)

Has the "Enable Motion Reprojection for WMR" been activated in SteamVR as of now? IS that the same as in SteamVR SETTINGS "Render resolution - AUTO" ?

Also, what is "Advanced SuperSample Filtering" in SteamVR and how does that affect my WMR headset?

Thx

ED is working on native WMR support. So in the future DCS VR will work on WMR directly without steamVR.

In about two weeks. :music_whistling:

Has it been implemented by now? Messing with my HP Reverb.

Thanks.

Within steam vr and in game you can turn on and off WMR Re projection, its much better compared to the past way of editing a text file.:thumbup:

I'm on HP REVERB. How would you turn on/off WMR Reprojection within steam? In Manage Video Settings for: there's only one option for Reprojection that says Use Legacy Reprojection Mode (Off by default).

Thanks.

AFAIK you still have to edit the txt I don't know where he found that.

I am confused,

 

 

is this Motion Reprojection mod for the Rift also, or not?

WMR is not for Rift - for Microsoft based headsets like Reverb, Odyssey, etc...

Im running steam vr beta and Wmr app Beta and you turn on or off the motion vector via the steam vr ui in game or at your home environment in steam vr. You dont need to mess with the files anymore as per the devs.:thumbup:

while in game push the left or right thumbstick on you controller and you will see the settings.:thumbup:
