Thank you using the Bug section, using templates provided will greatly help the team reproducing the issue and ease the process of fixing it.
Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?
no dev mode, no changes
Brief description of the issue:
in wide fov, canted displays, we get differing shadows/shading in clouds and trees and terrain in one eye vs the other. This appears as a double vision on such objects.
Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:
Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
using Pimax HMD for VR without use of parralell projection compatability mode (which would sacrifice peformance)
PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:
any VR serup with canted displays
Are you using DX12?
occurs in either dx11 or dx12
Are you using DLSS?
yes and no. Occurs either way.

Quick example of this shadow bug… look at tree shadow difference between left and right eyes, looks like shadows are drawn in different directions. Also this only effects contact shadows, turning those on/off engages the effect.
this is present in SU9 even… note the tree shadow pointing to the road on left, toward building on right. The left image even has a 2nd building shadow.
I hope they can fix that… I suppose it’s just like the change in the culling. So we have support for canted displays, but not quite perfection. I do hope they fix this. I thought it was due to non-parallel projection, but found other games have this problem too (Elite Dangerous) that don’t support canted displays. So is it all VR or canted displays causing this? Does it occur in PP mode?
It’s certainly possible canted projection is exaggerating issues that have existed and making them very apparent. The shadow bug while canted is not always visible and seems like it could be related to sun angle and view heading.
Another quirk only seen while canted… horizon difference between left and right eyes show a few lines that are different / darker in the right eye.
This can look subtle in a screenshot but in the hmd the inconsistency between eyes can induce nausea and discomfort. Seems to happen with a heading of 0 going west up to a point and then it’s good. A horizon over water shows this well.
Yeah regrettably some situations are completely intolerable with the shadow/shading bug. In particular the Loch Activity demonstrates the problem occurs also with the clouds. I really love using my Large FOV HMD, but for the most part have to switch back to Parallel projection for most uses. This of course shows progress towards full-support of canted displays. Hopefully more attention can be put into this issue over the coming weeks toward official release.
Really glad to see that it’s not just me. I thought my eyes were going bad until I looked at the scenes with one eye closed, hope to see this fixed soon since I’m looking forward to the performance increase from having PP off in my Pimax!
