MSFS gets in Low Performance mode during VR

[SearBreak225638]

I am running SU10 like everyone (9700K@5Ghz+RTX3080ti+32mbRAM + 22H2+Quest2) and I fly in VR. I seem to have to do a reboot, start MSFS, then VR or I might end up in a mode where when I look from side-to-side in the cockpit, it hesitates for a good part of a second. I am running a high GPU load with 3500x2500 quality. When I get in that mode, even if I return to nonVR 2D pancake mode (therefore not using VR software), the side-to-side view from the cockpit pauses ( sticks )while using the mouse cursor, Even after a restart of MSFS, it still is happening so I need to reboot. Anyone else?

22H2

Have you tried killing the HolographicShell log process mentioned in the 22H2 thread here ? I had the issue you had and it went away when I did this.

Poor VR performance on Windows 11 22H2

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 Brief description of the issue: VR has poor performance with low frame rates after upgrading to Windows 11 22H2 builds (reproduces on multiple builds, including the most recent RTM build, 22621). Most apparent when moving your head. Performance is resolved by rolling back to non-22H2 bu…

Yes, I have that too. Therefore I always restart MSFS between flights, and enter VR as soon as the main menu comes up using the enter-VR (or whatever it is called) bottom-menu item. If I use the keyboard combo to enter VR after the flight has loaded, I sometimes/often get the behavior you describe. This behavior is in addition to that holographic shell stuff, I rolled back my windows 11 install.

For anyone who is seeing this issue, here’s something you could try: Go to Computer Management → System Tools → Performance → Data Collector Sets → Event Trace Sessions. In this list, find HolographicShell, right click, and choose ‘Stop’.

Thanks for reporting that you have a similar problem. I don’t have the holographic shell issue at all because I am not using WMR since I am using an oculus quest 2. When I reboot and start MSFS first, I do get fairly smooth operation with not many stutters. I didn’t realize until today to boot first, SIM next, VR last. This of course should not be required and especially if you just simply restart MSFS, the problem should clear out . It doesn’t appear to be a VRAM problem because I am watching that with the advanced HUD of OXRTK and I am only using half of my total VRAM
