VR - experimental support

[KingOfTheRoad77]

There's no point wondering about how to kludge modern upscalers into the old engine at this point - they're building us something much nicer.

They have already secretly let unwitting members of the public try the console version using the new renderer at shows and fear not, it did not look "very bad".

Well, probably they need to implement DX12 for (newer) consoles. Thus, PC Windows players automatically will benefit from this, too.

I'm really hoping it helps both with performance and image quality / sharpness in VR at the same time

Well, probably they need to implement DX12 for (newer) consoles.

Not quite, no. More a new rendering pipeline with pluggable parts for driving different frameworks. DirectX is a Microsoft thing, not used by the other consoles. Most of them have their own proprietary framework, and some of them also support Vulkan, which is a sort of modern, lower-level open successor to OpenGL.

Anyone else suffering crashes in ATS open beta 1.60, during the initial loading?
Tried clean profile, the same. Non VR works fine.

Can someone take a look at my game.log please? I'm kinda stuck...
Thanks

Is there a way to edit the clutch engagement file? because the clutch engagement is similar to a car instead of a truck.

@BobbPenn I see a lot of mods, but you mentioned you did try with a clean profile.

Other things that may or may not help:
- get rid of the extra launch arguments -mm_pool_size 12288 -mm_max_resource_size 32 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000
- set r_buffer_page_size back to the default 10

Yep same here, I just reported it: viewtopic.php?t=351607

@BobbPenn As per above, 95% this is causing your crash:

00:00:01.847 : uset r_buffer_page_size "50"

Values above 10 can cause stuttering and crashes since 1.59 when SCS reworked memory management.

Thanks everyone for kind help, however nothing's working yet

Let's hope it will be fixed at least before the full release
Cheers

One would assume that is what open beta testing and bug reporting is for, but I have been disappointed before.

It would be helpful to both of us if you reply in the bug report that you have the same issue.Then you'll also get notification on updates, and developers will have confirmation it's not an isolated issue on just my PC.
If in future you want to post such bug reports as well, make sure to really clean out all your mods and tweaks before confirming and uploading logs. Even if you post logs in a forum thread like you did here.

Fingers crossed!

There are 2 different crash bug reports that have received bug ID's, so there's a fair chance of them being fixed as SCS will always prioritise a crash bug.
