When I switch from VR to monitor view, my FPS goes down to below 10FPS. Switching back to VR mode does not recover the frame rate, the only solution is to restart the sim.
Using a Quest 2 with Oculus Link.
I kill the WMR window - that gets the framerate back to normal.

Yeah same problem here using offical link cable…I fly the A320 a lot and now and then you need a 5 min break on a 4 hour flight…Its unplayable when i put headset back on
I dont use WMR this is on Oculus Software
Did anybody else notice that you can control tab between vr and monitor with fewer issues if the pc graphics settings and vr graphics settings are the same? I have been changing a lot of things lately so maybe it was something else, but I used to have fps slowdowns requiring reboot after switching and now I do not. It works with ultra settings fine too if they are set the same. Can anyone else confirm the behavior?
Yes, same here. Once I switch out of VR, coming back to VR produces terrible frame rate. (HP Reverb G2, WMR OpenXR, Radeon 5700 XT). Also, some form of switching between apps often results in “slideshow” effect: many seconds between frames. Closing and then reopening the Windows Mixed Reality doesn’t help.

I set my PC <> VR setings the same now ( as in Low but for textures)
This seems to help
Glad there is a bug on this. I am seeing the same issue, and started a thread in the VR section: Quest 2 - VR is smooth until toggling it off and back on
I’m assuming you mean all settings except resolution? Or are you including resolution as well?

WMR + Reverb G2 here. I fixed this by switching to desktop by killing WMR, and then hitting ALT-ENTER several times, sometimes up to 10 times. Then suddenly it usually repairs the fps drop.
Anyone have a solution to this or is Asobo aware of this and are they looking into the issue?
Thanks
I can confirm that this works. It’s not nice but it is for now a workaround.
I want to add that it just came to my attention that it might also take a couple of minutes before the sim gets it normal fps back. I’m now doing a flight in which this problem arised, and tried to solve it by hitting ctrl-enter numerous times, but that didn’t work in the first instance. I went away for a couple of minutes and when I came back, the sim suddenly had great fps again.
This no longer happens in the sim 12 beta. Engine sounds aren’t lost and no slowdown in performance any longer.
Interesting, so my hopes are on SU12 tomorrow! Because just today, this issue reappeared for me. I had the issue before but after updating the Nvidia graphics driver, it was gone. Today, it reappeared for no apparent reason…
Had this issue for ages nopw - Reverb G2, 10900K, RTX 3080. Killing WMR sometimes works, but more often than not it doesn’t. Not tried the ALT-Enter trick yet. I’m hoping SU12 fixes it as above.
Nvidia Sound Drivers possibly? Anyhow, should be fine after update.
It does in the Beta.
