S D Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Fine for me mostly, a few patches of stutters but i find taking my rift off for 10/20 seconds let the HMD screen go into standby then put it back on clears it right up. If your desktop mirror shows decent fps, but its feel choppy in game, try the above. Also as mentioned, delete your fxo & metashaders2 folders in saved games.

toilet2000 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 For anyone with frame rate issues, delete the fxo and metashaders folders in your Saved Games directory. Went from almost unplayable to good and consistent frame rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofEil Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 After every update I do a clean and repair, and delete fxo and metashaders. Every time. My in-cockpit fps is stable and actually slightly better than the Hornet... Now where are we posting CTD's? i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder...

Nexus-6 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I requested a refund because it's unplayable in VR.It's the first day. Give them a chance to identify and work out all of the kinks before complaining that it's unplayable. Can't pretend fly as well as you can.

hellking Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I play in VR, and I did not notice any big problems with F14. I used to have such problems with modules before I switch to a high MHz (4.0) single-thread optimized CPU and a high end GPU (GeForce 1080 Ti).

e0s888 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 For anyone with frame rate issues, delete the fxo and metashaders folders in your Saved Games directory. Went from almost unplayable to good and consistent frame rate. Same experience. Before clearing fxo and metashaders unplayable, now I have similar performance to F18.

Werewolf_fs Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) My biggest problems were solved with the deletion of fxo and metashaders2, but my oculus are having a problem with this module: After several perfect minutes (8-10min), begin to appear trail efect and lite loss headtrack... Solution turn off the ASW (left_ctrl + Numpad 1),after a few seconds turn on ASW (left_ctrl + numpad 3) and goes well for for another 10 min, then come back. ASW has a problem wint this module??. The oculus sofware is the last version 1.36. Asw is wrong in v1.36?? Solution turn off asw for me Edited March 15, 2019 by Werewolf_fs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaTzo Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 VR performance in the 14 is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than in the A10C for me. i5 9600k @ 5.1GHz, 32GB RAM, 1080 Ti, on a SATA SSD (if that matters to anyone) and the Rift. Also causing performance issues is that it is impossible to read the gauges at anything below a PD of 2.0. Help for anyone else who is suffering: Biggest performance gains are achieved by setting shadows to flat, and turning off MSAA and SSAA. To those who are saying "Early Access" and basically 'suck it up' perhaps this isn't the thread for you. The reality is that many people - everyone I've flown with personally - are experiencing very low performance in VR with this particular module. It is in fact an issue that Heatblur needs to be aware of so they can work on it. The fastest solution would be to cut back the weathering on the text in the cockpits so everyone can lower their PD. This would make people happy and help performance. So there you go, bug reported, help suggested, and a solution suggested. It's not hard to be helpful.

Jack McCoy Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Mirrors people, mirrors. Yes, Mirrors: OFF Terrain Object Shadows: Flat MSAA: x2 Water: Medium Terrain Textures: Medium --- I suspect the Tomcat to be very high-poly, with huge textures.

panda nick Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Hi Probably I think that it is mostly due to the capacity of VRAM when you see the VR harsh fps of F-14. This is because the F-14 uses a lot of detailed textures. This is when I'm flying with four F-14s, but in my environment I can maintain 60 FPS even with the mirror enabled. I think that it is effective to review the setting of the texture and the setting of the mirror to solve this. Dear Heatblur:It may be nice to have the option of selecting VR textures so that many people can comfortably use VR.

westr Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) I've spent a lot of time optimizing my settings to cope with the Tomcat in VR, I feel for me personally I have certain things I like to keep for immersion mainly high water settings and cockpit mirrors so I have had to compromise in other areas. I have found its better to turn MSAA off and increase pixel density instead, the F14 looks great in external views anyway and I don't feel it needs MSAA as much as some of the other modules. Resolution of cockpit displays needs to be at 512 at least or the mirrors will look terrible. This is to get a solid 45fps in the PG and Caucasus maps btw NTTR runs much faster and I can have higher settings. I have textures at medium, view distance at Low, terrain textures at low as I find this is fine for both these maps and Is more noticeable in the Normandy map actually. Shadows Low Clutter/Grass at 0 and tree visibility at 80. Anisotropic filtering at x2 Terrain shadows Flat I still found I was getting FPS drops in certain areas in the PG map so I went back to putting pre-load radius to MAX and ensured my missions used dynamic weather and not static which seems to help. Too many clouds drop my FPS BTW. So with these settings i'm getting a solid 45fps, of course I hope I can increase things because I spent quite at lot of money on this rig not so long ago. I hope that the module may be optimised a little more over the coming months by the HB team we will see but at the moment I am at least able to enjoy the cat in VR on all the Maps. Edit: I have found with further testing that the Caucasus performs better than the PG map with the Tomcat, for me the PG is the worst performing of the maps with the F14.

Supmua Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) For those of you who report silky smooth framerate on high settings, try the takeoff tutorial mission and turn on your FPS counter. Let's see what kind of fps you get when you taxi pass those parked jets. I saw as low as 23 fps on my setup. And this rig does get 45-90 fps in the sky in VR (mostly 45). It's not just VR though, I also got <60 fps on my monitor in that area. This is probably the only game that tanks my fps below 60 at the measly 2560x1080 resolution (I can get up to 190+ fps in the sky but I'm talking about ground scenarios).
