HP's Reverb VR Pro Headset

[eaglecash867]

Hi eagle,

 

Guess it’s been mostly in the spitfire (custom mission) and F-18. Also tried the P-51 on the stable release.

 

I feel like it happens in the main hanger too. Very frustrating.

 

Cheers Jason

 

Just a shot in the dark, but have you tried cleaning the camera lenses with a microfiber cloth? Maybe you inadvertently touched one or both and got a finger smudge on there? I haven't looked at mine yet, gonna go do that now.

[jasonstory44]

I’ll certainly try it. I’m curious about the cameras...do they only control the XYZ axis? I’ve noticed I can cover both cameras and rotational view seems unaffected

Yup. The cameras only control lateral movement in VR, rotational movement comes from the internal sensors. I tried cleaning mine and so far so good. No smudges on them, but there was some dust. Still early though, the theory hasn't been extensively tested yet.

Please keep me posted

Hi guys

 

 

I just got mine ! what a wonderful HMD for DCS ! I love SDE.

 

 

Can we switch it off without unplug it ?

 

 

Thanks

Yes, just shutdown the WMR software.

Eagle, are you also seeing the GPU frametime bounce around every other second on the beta and be smooth and level on the stable version?

[TOYKILLA]

No Problems with the Beta here.

I really haven't been looking at frame times, but the sudden spinning of the view seemed to happen with the Reverb in the same areas I used to experience brief pauses with the hourglass when I was flying with the Rift CV1. You might be on to something with what you're seeing with frame times.

 

My stable version I still have at 2.5.3 because of all the performance issues and AGM-65 issues that were introduced with 2.5.4. The Beta I've been keeping up-to-date though.

[TOYKILLA]

Do you have Motion-Reprojection activated?

I do have motion reprojection activated though I discovered it looks like steam had turned it off in an update apparently.

Yes I read the same I think the latest update for the beta version (I think of WMR for steam) has broken reprojection so you need to revert back to the non-beta version....

HP's Reverb VR Pro Headset

 

Hi guys. I’m having the following problem with my out of the box Reverb, my left headphone is not working and I have like a white stain inside the left lens, like a cloud, just in the center. Anyone here experience the same problem?

 

I’m calling to HP in the morning.

 

 

Dream Commodore 64C, 1530 datasette, 1541 floppy disk drive, DCS cartridge, competition pro joystick, 14” Tv with VCR.

I had a problem with the left speaker, I unscrewed it (similar to the Rift) then wiped the terminals and screwed it back on, problem solved.

 

I haven't experienced the second problem, sorry.

If you update WMR for Steam to another Version, you probably need to customize the Settings File again,to turn Motion Reprojection on again . I Use the latest Beta with MRP.

Hi

 

 

How did you clean that ? I unscrewed it twice without sucees I have to push it to have sound

 

 

Thanks

[Willie Nelson]

I literally just wiped the terminals and screwed it back together. I know we’re not the only ones who had problems with these, but that worked for me. Of course you could sort it on warranty, But for me thankfully it was a quick fix.

So I ordered the Reverb to try it out and compare to the Rift S

 

First, some background: I run i7-4790K @4Ghz, 16GB RAM, 1080Ti 16GB. (Yes, once this was a state of the art unit. Now, it's middle-aged dad-bode.). I've been using the Rift CV1 for many years, and thought I would see if I could upgrade the VR set while holding on to the machine for another year or two.

 

I got the Rift S and the Reverb.

 

The Rift S was like magically wiping the vaseline off the my lenses. Things just popped into crystal clarity. I could read instruments. What used to be smudges now actually let me know what was going on without me having to lean in. And guess what? NO discernible performance hit whatsoever.

 

Ok, on to the Reverb. Followed the setup and tweaking instructions found here: https://vr4dcs.com/2019/08/08/moving-from-oculus-to-reverb/ . Default settings (without tweaking) were actually worse than the Rift S. I upscaled to 150%. And then I saw what the fuss was about. CLEARLY better than the Rift S. Not as much as a jump as from the Rift to the Rift S, but still noticeable. If going from the Rifht to the Rift S was like wiping vaseline away from my eyes, going from the Rift S to the Reverb was more like before and after a rain shower --- things are just a little bit more contrasty. But here's the thing: performance with the Reverb SUCKED. As in nauseating. After years of using VR on an almost daily basis, for the first time I got a twinge of VR sickness. And horrible artifacts -- juddering, ghosting, smearing, etc. especially if I look to the side while flying through dense terrain (e.g., downtown Dubai). Yes, with reprojection on and off. So I dialed things back. And back. And back. And back. And back, And back. Finally got to the point where I could fly through Dubai and look to the side without the juddering/smearing/ghosting artifacts being too annoying (though still a little VR-queasiness seemed to be just around the corner). Here's the thing though --- by this time, the quality of the image was not really distinguishingly better than the Rift S! In fact, one might argue that it might even look a little bit worse. And while I had reduced the juddering/smearing etc., it really was still noticeably worse than with the Rift S.

 

So, to answer my own question earlier in this thread. Yes, I can run the Reverb fine. But to do so, I have to run it at settings so that it really looks the same (or maybe even worse) than the Rift S.

 

I think if I had the horsepower to run it like it was intended, the Reverb would be a no brainer. This truly brings the visuals of VR back to being on par to where I was in the old days with 2D in a 4K screen. I cannot afford a new machine right now, and need to squeeze the current one for little while longer. As such, it seems like the Rift S is the way to go for me. And to be honest, it is actually not just good, but great enough. Going back to the Rift S after a couple of hours in the Reverb did not feel like I was back in world where I had vision problems or anything. There was just this every so slight loss of crispiness that I forgot about in minutes. But maybe that is just the joyous relief at not feeling even a tiny bit nauseous as buildings flashed by me at M2 talking!

Maybe your processor is holding you back a bit I use an 8700k 1080ti and 32 gb of ram.

 

Also make sure you are using wmr for steam vr (beta version so that you don't need to move the steam SS slider to 150% ). Beta version of the wmr for steam vr sets the right resolution for you at 100%.

 

Then you should keep DCS pixel density at 1.0.

 

Coming from the original Odyssey it's weird I didn't experience any of what you described. I also run mostly high settings in DCS too.

[TOYKILLA]

The Comparison between Rift S (1280 x 1440) and Reverb(2160 x 2160), is even more impressive, like the CV1(960×1080) to the S ,but you need the right Settings.

 

 

I own also a DK2,CV1,S before.

Does anyone run a Reverb with a 2070 Super? If so, what are your in-game settings like? If I can run most settings on high/med at 45fps locked, I'd be more than happy.

 

 

Looking to upgrade from a CV1, along with a 9700k/2070S/32gb Ram rig build.

[TWC_SLAG]

I’m just.getting the VR urge, and am wondering if you really NEED the controllers when in flight sims. Seems like I could save some money, if they aren’t necessary.

 

Also, is my computer strong enough? See below.

 

Thanks,

The increase in resolution may be greater on a linear scale, but human vision/perception is demonstrably non-linear. It is, in fact, logarithmic: it takes even more resolution to make a difference at higher levels of resolution than lower. I stand by my statement: the perceived difference between the Reverb and the Rift S is MUCH, MUCH less than that between the Rift S and the Rift CV1. In any case, even so, I still would without a doubt go for the Reverb ... if I could actually satisfactorily run it at that resolution!

The more I read the more I think I am just fine with my Rift S.
