Lens flare and motion blur in VR (2024)

I’ve found a way to enable this in VR. It’s a bug.
HONESTLY I really like how it looks so I would love to have the control to turn this on and off.

How do you enable it?
Thank you

I will upload a video about this in my YouTube channel today.

I noted the Len Flare toggle is gone from 2D graphics setting, too.

I always run with it off in 2020, so I was a bit bummed to see the setting gone in 2024.

Yes. We need that. I will dig a bit and try to find a home made solution to turn it off.

Here’s a crazy thought.

Could we just copy the XML line item from the 2020 UserCfg file and paste it into the 2024 UserCfg file and see if it still works?

In other words, is the code still in the sim to turn it on/off, but the toggle is just gone from the UI?

EDIT:

No, it doesn’t look like it. The way they have the UserCfg file structured has changed between the two sim versions. In 2020 there is a PostProcess section, which doesn’t exist in the 2024 file.

I tried to compare both opt files and you’re correct. But this should be a simple line of code. Might be a developer mode shortcut, something like that.

Our eyes are not camera lenses and do flare like a camera and it feels really wrong in VR. There should be an option to turn it off like 2020.
