The issue is not the settings, it is that it works well one day and not the next, and then sometimes never again. The weak link is getting everything to communicate. The VR launcher and then the link to the headset just fail to communicate. Some can’t get Virtual Desktop to work and others can’t get the Oculus Link to work. I managed to get Oculus Link to work once and the quality was dreadful, and 90% of the time the Oculus App just won’t start and hangs.
Some systems will work well with the exact same configuration, and others won’t, often for some unknown variable.
Every time someone comments that they have issues, there is always a reply with a link to some YouTube video which is about video quality settings. The problem is not the settings, if you can’t get MSFS to work in VR you can’t even get a low quality image. It either fails to start, there is extreme stuttering, or just crashes. The stuttering is not from settings, as for many including me, it works well one day, and even offline with a cache for the area, it still stutters. Then it doesn’t.
My issue is mostly with SteamVR, I can’t change to OpenXR as the registry keeps changing back and SteamVR doesn’t allow me to change it. So I’m stuck with one combination of SteamVR and Virtual Desktop, which has failed me numerous times in only 2 months of having this game. It worked yesterday, but today I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t for another break of a few weeks, as I have had previously.
So please understand from the perspective of those with issues, display settings make no difference, nothing, do not help. It is a parallel conversation, like someone who is having problems with their car after being hit by a truck, and someone is telling them the engine just needs a tune up.
I’m getting good performance with DirectX12 and Nvidia 531.79, whereas many aren’t. Who knows why?
