VR - experimental support

[skurt]

I posted this on steam community tab but figured I'm likely to get better response here so will copy & paste my post from there.

I'm having a problem getting an image to OBS to stream/record gameplay in VR on my Quest 3.

I'm using 1.56 and playing on TruckersMP.

Usually there is a game window on my monitor I can capture using window capture or game capture in OBS. Issue is the window on my monitor is just black, while the game is running inside my VR fine.

Usually with other games I'd use an OpenVR plug in for OBS to get around this and directly capture the OpenXR input to the headset, but this isn't working either.

I'm using virtual desktop too so any oculus mirror related things cannot work.

Does anyone have any solutions for this?

Thanks

If you want a viewport on your monitor you need to change the manual stereo mirror mode in the config. The first page of this thread explains which number is which. 0 is “off” which seems like you’re set at.

Thank you this worked. Any way to force it 16:9 or is it a case of streching out the square format in OBS?

Today i decided to sell my Pimax CL and switch into triple monitors. I kind of had enough of this VR nonsense on ETS2 because of the luck of stability. One day i play with 1.7 buffer with almost no issue, next day i have to lower to 1.2...!

This game is not playable on VR. No matter what system or VR You have. What is the point if you can't have a smooth gameplay! What is the point if i have to lower the quality even with a high-end computer...!

I guess I'm lucky, because for me it's stable. Mostly 90 fps, but some frame drops to 80-75 ish, which I can live with.
Can it be better, absolutely! But the performance is definitely not wildly different day-to-day for me.

[BobbPenn]

Same here. Admittedly, there was a period when the performance was all over the place daily, but after a period of fine tuning and bad mods cleaning it settled within the perfect 60-90fps range and very few sporadic issues. I guess you need to be a bit lucky to achieve what your system is actually capable of and devil is always in the details.
Still, 3 screens setup has it's own charm >)

Would it be possible to make the game respect the g_cam_window_block setting in VR? On flatscreen it prevents you from poking your head outside if the driver's window is closed.

I don't believe so , there's a reason why buried in this thread somewhere.

I'm not sure how that would work in practice. On the monitor you can prevent the camera from moving further. In VR you also need to physically block the movement of the HMD at the same time. Because when you only do it in the game, the screen would 'freeze' while you're still moving your head, and this will probably give 99% of the people nausea (just like the fixed camera/screen in some game menus).
