The whole -openvr and -oculus thing, yeah I forgot to mention that in the video but the whole thing happened so well I decided to leave it out but turns out a lot of people actually use oculus still which kinda surprises me since it's much more limited compared to what you can do with steam.

make sure you launch the game after you put “-openvr” and let it refresh if you aren’t seeing the open vr options in the config file. then close the game open the config file and it should be there

@A_a_ron_4_RC

It should initiate a game update with the proper files installed when you select beta options. The Launch options just tells it which program you want to run the game in and has no effect on game files. -openvr just simply launches Steam VR while -oculus will launch Oculus VR when you launch the game.

Do you play using Virtual desktop? Could you give me your settings for that? Quality, bitrate, hz, aws enabled or disabled? And if on link if you could give me those settings? Also, you have your buffer scale to 1.5? Trying to play on my rtx 4080 and struggling with lag for some reason. Thanks!

@A_a_ron_4_RC

Ok so recently something changed where 1.5 does lag alot. I had used 1.5 on my 1650 without issue and now they've changed something. However there is now an in game setting for scaling and I find that works better. The game has changed and will continue to. Leave the config at 1.0 and then use the in game and see what you think. As far as settings for my Virtual Desktop app which I do use. Some of those are dependant on your GPU and some on your Router. If you have a 4080 like me you can do the highest graphic related settings in VD but you'll find that it stutters a bit even with a great router. I put my settings up to the max and then brought them back just a bit on the things I wanted to sacrifice a bit of quality on. As for the connection settings VD has made it so you cannot exceed your routers capabilities and you can max that out if you want. However the sacrifice of doing that comes with your battery life and potential for increased stutters and latency so I basically put my bitrates at 3/4 of what my router can handle to allow for a buffer there. However if you don't live alone then you might wanna go even lower because of more devices or you can learn how to use a PC hotspot designated for your headset. I am currently trying to learn that and it works so well except it keeps lagging alot every 15 seconds and then is perfectly clear. Latency is almost nothing but those occasional frequent stutters are killing my gaming experience.

Hi, I'd recommend changing some of these settings. Especially for a G2 headset. In the config you have the repro set at 0. It should be 1. Then to get that to work, you then need to start the game with option two... The one that mentions DirectX 11. Then it works great. Looks smoother and cuts down on the jagged lines on Overhead power lines etc. Hope this helps

Hello, when i play ets in vr i get a lot of moving edges when i drive the truck. What i have to do to make it smooth? And another question: What setting do you recomend to play ets on quest 2? 1:in oculus app , the display at max and in game 100% resolution? 2:smaller display in oculus and bigger resolution ingame? i play on a rtx 4090 on cable and 120hz. I ask because i play with some mods and i have in between 60 and 40 fps with the first option. and if i dont brother you can you make a tutorial with how to make the game look good and without losing fps?like changing some options on oculus app or an application to optimize the game?

I do not know as I do not play ETS or ETS2 and this tutorial is for ATS specifically, However from what I can tell the process is very similar and if it was ATS I recommend leaving your settings where they are. I dont know what you mean by edges moving but I am guessing its like signs bouncing back and forth between 2 spots which happens for some reason and youll just learn to ignore it. I barely notice it now. Its something to do with reprojection but its mainly something with the game itself and likely wont be fixed unless they focus more on the VR aspect which they might if more people get into VR for this game.

I know one of the major things is when restarting the game you have to remember to close out of steam VR. For some reason the game won't sync with the VR if steam VR is already running. Another is if you are using airlink or oculus link you need to use -oculus as your launch in properties instead of openvr. The other thing is if you use virtual desktop you need to have it set to -openvr for your launch options. I hope this helps

I recently had an odd issue with this and may need to make a new video. I don't have time currently to do so but, Are you getting the Steam VR Client opening? When I played the other day it would put me into the Steam VR Client and it would go into theatre mode for the game. I have to manually close theatre mode before the game fully launches. I have not found a fix for this yet. Using Virtual Desktop you want to make sure to run in OpenVR mode, under launch options you want to type " -openvr " no spaces, no caps just the dash and openvr this will tell the game to run in the Steam VR mode, it should automatically open Steam VR with the game. If it doesn't try opening steam VR first and then launching the game. If the game doesn't sync with the VR you have to press one of the function keys, I can't remember but I think it was F11 but it may have been F10 or F12. None of them do anything damaging but one takes a screenshot, another is the mirror modes and then the one you want is toggling or refreshing the syncing with VR or Desktop mode for the game.

Non VR I would play 720p 30FPS and it was smooth. I then got a Logitech Wheel and shortly after got pedals. Then instead of a phone and riftcat I got a quest 1 and virtual desktop. Then I upgraded my GPU to a 2070super and had a lot of issues with it so I got a refund, seller didn't want the card back and I got a 1650, I don't know why but that ran fantastic with VR for a few years and then as the game updated it didn't. It's not VR ready but it can do it. Now I have a 4080RTX 13900k a whole slew of VR headsets from HTC to Quest to Rift and a fully equipped racing rig STILL equipped with the same Logitech G920 I got years ago and that has way more miles than my 15 year old POS GMC Envoy

You either have to enable the beta VR, wait for the update to finish, launch the game once after doing the steps and then go back to it. I don't believe there is any setting called OpenVR in the settings. Unless you are referring to the -openvr in the launch options then in that case you have to type it in.

This video is simply how to set it up for functioning VR and everything else is dependant on your own rig.
