Change These PSVR2 Settings BEFORE Playing!

[@Octorious]

Clarification for Setting 3 (120HZ Option): 1. Only affects "CINEMATIC MODE" 2. This may already be setup correctly for some of you. I'm still not quite sure why it is for some and not for others. 3. That leads me to the main point: this does not depend on if you have a 120HZ or 60HZ screen connected. I suspected it would automatically be enabled on a 120HZ screen, so tested with an LG CX and that was not the case. Many users are seeing it not setup correctly on both 120HZ and 60HZ panels, whilst many are seeing it setup correctly on both as well. I have no idea what factor changes how it is setup, but it is not influenced by the refresh rate of the screen you are connected to. I will update this comment with more information as I get it.

[@1zerothehero]

Did you see my comment about having my display turned off? After setup I turned off my TV and immediately explored the settings. I found I could enable the 120hz mode in the headset and the 120hz option in the display settings was actually the one grayed out for me (but still set to auto.) My TV is 60hz.

[@nickkalister6291]

the only reason you'd want to enable that setting is if your flat tv doesn't support 120 hz or you're not using an external TV at all. if that's the case, then yeah, make sure it's set as described in the video. BUT! if you DO haave a 120Hz tv you won't see the feature automatically enable bc the setting is to enable 120 Hz output on the headset when your tv doesn't support 120 hz. So with a 120 hz display there's no reason to enable it and you WILL get 120 hz output in the headset. so, basically, NO, don't turn this on if you have a 120 hz capable tv and dont' be surprised that you never see it enabled because it doesn't need to be.

Another tip, turn the brightness down on the headset it's default is at 100 i find having it between 65-70 gets rid of the weird hazing look

[@Octorious]

Great tip! I've given this a go and find it does infact help a little bit, particularly for watching content in cinematic mode. I'm currently making a video on how to reduce and fix blurriness in the headset, so I'll be sure to give this a mention. Thank you :)

FYI I DID NOT have to disable the automatic 120hz in display settings. My TV was off so this leads me to believe having a display connected and turned on is what greys out this option.

[@BlindMango]

I should point out the 120hz setting is specifically for CINEMATIC MODE, meaning not native VR games, but specifically when playing a normal non-VR game within VR mode - some people in the comments seem confused about it

[@Octorious]

I thought I made this clear enough in the video but I suppose not based on some comments. Thank you for clarifying for some people :) I hope you enjoyed the video! Love you Buzz pfp btw. Those games were awesome!

It definitely does need sorting if it is a bug because anyone who doesn't see this video is not really gonna question it. :( This comment means a lot to me though aha, so thank you :) Note that the setting does only affect cinema mode, so now that GT7 has full VR support, you'll be playing in the best way available anyway :D It'll more affect your other non-VR compatible games such as Hogwarts Legacy or COD where there are flatscreen 120HZ options :) Enjoy your PSVR2!! You're gonna have a heck of a time! :D

@@Octorious so bro I don’t need to change anything just for GT7 because I will play only that?

[@Cavscout101]

@@Octorious do you run 120 normally on PS5? I wonder if the grey out means systems default as opposed to Off and by disabling it on PS5, you then get the option to run 120, would be a thing for 60hz users.

[@ginatails]

The PSVR2 runs at 90hz default, not 60hz. So 120hz will still feel the best, but 90hz won't be too bad if you forget to enable 120hz Edit: I think Cinema mode might run at 60hz default, I'm just talking about the PSVR2 running at 90hz for VR games

Random advice but wearing a handkerchief really helped not only with the sweat on the forehead but it also made the device fit a little bit better.

[@jimbo121]

120HZ greyed out only means you're set up on system default because you're already connected to a 120Hz TV or monitor. The option is only there for people who connect their PSVR2 to a PS5 that is hooked to a 60HZ TV. No need to de-activate it from AUTO if you're on a 120Hz TV.

[@Octorious]

I thought this to be the case too, but it isn't. I tested it on an LG CX 120HZ panel as well before putting it in this video to check, and had the same problem. Some people don't get the problem and from asking, it's a mix of 60hz and 120hz users on a range of different displays. I have absolutely no idea what initially triggers it to be allowed or not, but it isn't as simple as 60hz or 120hz.

[@Octorious]

@@geodek69 I also thought this and opening a game in 120hz flat screen didn't sort it either. It seems to change for each user depending on the exact configuration of the setup, but the steps shown in the video will work to unlock it for everybody 😊

[@eSKAone-]

I think if you have a 120 hz display PSVR2 displays the main menu at 120 fps already so it doesn't have to go to black when starting a compatible game.

[@GGMattt]

Thanks for these tips, PSVR2 is my first VR kit so this was very helpful, I just need to get over the motion sickness so I can enjoy the games for more than 10-20 minutes 😅

[@jeremyespinosa2237]

I’m typically someone who is highly sensitive to motion sickness. I can’t really get into first person shooters because of it. But I have had some success in VR by exploring the different movement settings the games offer. Some of the movement options favor those of us that are sensitive. And a general rule of thumb is it is better to play in a space where you can physically rotate your body a full 360 degrees. Rather than use the controller to rotate your body. But with the PSVR2 you will also need to be mindful of that cord. I ordered a VR wire pully system for the ceiling for this very reason. I can move around without getting tangled up in the wire or it constantly being tugged on.

[@SnacksMpls]

Try pointing a fan at you and don’t try to power through it just stop and give it some time. Eventually you will be able to go longer and longer.

[@Rocksteady72a]

It's worth noting that tip 1 about adding the frame could be harmful for those of us using OLEDs, especially since it seems to be completely static.

[@Octorious]

This is a good point and something I should have mentioned in the video. To be completely honest though, OLEDs are so good with their measures to counter burn-in these days, especially LG's, that unless you ONLY play VR games all day for several days in a row with no other content, you should be fine. I don't see many people who are gonna be playing 12 hours at a time every single day with no other content on their TV, but you definitely raise a good point and it is something I should have definitely realised and mentioned for sure!

[@GsW1986Micky]

Exactly what I was going to mention. Good point.

[@TrexxArmz]

Could just turn the TV off with that setting enabled, right? The headset doesn't need the TV on in order to work. Could also very easily have something else playing on the TV. Or is that border what makes the enhanced tracking happen somehow?

[@Rocksteady72a]

@@TrexxArmz The point of the border is for the headset to see it.. Think of it like greenscreen markers. Usually a VFX artist can try finding something in the scene to track, but it makes it incredibly more easy if there's already an X there since software is built to look out for it.

[@TrexxArmz]

@@Rocksteady72a oh interesting. I definitely won't use it then, as I have an OLED. Thanks for the clarification.

[@RobStevens64]

Setting three must be a bug. Having to disable the 120hz output doesn't make any sense unless it has something to do with trying to output TWO 120hz signals at the same time.

[@Octorious]

There is certainly something odd with it. Your theory about the two simultaneous signals might definitely be right. If you set it to 120HZ, the TV then receives no input of you playing non-VR games, but that said, even at 60HZ the TV gets no input when cinema mode is in use, so I really don't get it. For my first day or two with the VR, I assumed it being set to auto in the main settings greyed that one in the VR out at 'off' because it would automatically turn it on when 120HZ content was detected in cinema mode. HOWEVER, I started to think it just wasn't as fluid as it should be for 120HZ, despite it allowing me to use 120HZ modes in games, it just still felt like 60. I did some experimenting and then realised if you do what I do in the video, it causes a screen flicker like a normal change of display refresh rate would, and then it felt noticeably smoother and was obviously outputting at up to 120HZ now. I didn't want to include it in the video without properly testing it so I tried it on a 60HZ and 120HZ screen, and both had the same weird default setup. Definitely confusing for people who don't see this video and I hope it gets sorted! Thanks for watching :)

[@Amuseddaysleeper]

@@Octorious if I leave 120 hz to off will that effect my flat screen game playing on my tv if I don’t use cinematic mode when not using the headset?

[@kato093]

@@Octorious idk...the whole thing seems like a problem with the tv, like not having a 120hz tv, where the PS5 can't run the PSVR2 at 120hz while the tv is at 60hz. Might be that the PS5 when on automatic mode, checks for resolution via HDMI only, so it autoputs the resolution for both tv and PSVR2 based on the tv. Sadly my PSVR2 comes Friday 24th for some reason (Amazon has been shit and always late for months now), so I will check myself on my 120hz tv then cuz I'm sure as hell playing dead space remake in my bed on the psvr2.

@@Amuseddaysleeper yes, it turns 120hz mode off. That option is specifically for the tv.

@@Octorious Does cinema mode display up to 4k? Digital Foundry said it does, but VR Oasis says 1080p. I'd put my money on Digital Foundry, but I'm still not sure.

[@Octorious]

@@fffrrraannkk TECHNICALLY it's a 1080p screen. However, it looks like much more and supports 4K content and higher. 4k and up looks much better than 1080p content on it too. I don't think you can really give it a resolution though. The reason it can't technically be 4k, is because with both lenses being 4k, for the screen to be "4k" it would have to be way too large in the headset to be functional I believe. Don't worry about the resolution of it cos it looks great. Fire up youtube and watch 4k, 8k, and 12k videos and you'll see it looks a lot nicer than 1080p does.

[@ArcadianGenesis]

If you read the description, it enables 120hz on the headset *_IF_* your display doesn't support it. If your display _does_ support it, there is no need for the setting, hence why it's greyed out.

[@Octorious]

But the thing is, it actually still doesn't seem to. I tested it on an LG CX as well at 120HZ, and when changing to 120HZ in game, it still didn't actually change the output. I assumed for my first few days it was 120 but started to think it wasn't as smooth as it should be, tested it with 60hz and 120hz screens and had the same feeling. Then figured out the workaround for both, turned it on, and there was now the noticeable flicker when enabling 120 in games, and it felt a heck of a lot smoother. I think it might be a tad bugged out, but it was an issue on all screens in my testing. I think the description is more just emphasising that you display doesn't have to be 120 for it to work.

Yes. You are able to use your TV audio/other connected speaker systems for VR games. If you are in cinema mode, you will need to connect some sort of headphones or earphones to be able to get any audio though.

[@nonyabusiness6084]

​​@@TristanTheVRGamecat Funny you complain that you "wish people would look into what settings do before listening to KZbinrs who don't have a clue" when you are the one who clearly doesn't have a clue. The 120hz mode referred to here has nothing to do with the TV at all. It is strictly regarding the PSVR2. Sony PS5 PSVR2 Setting: "Output 120 Hz Video to VR Headset Output 120 Hz video to your VR headset even if the HDMI device that your PS5 is connected to doesn't support 120 Hz output." How exactly does this make the "native PS5 output worse" according to you? What "PS5 output" are you even talking about? The frame rate? The resolution? The general display itself? Because all you do is switch the PS5 120 Hz setting from "Automatic" to "Off" so that you can get the 120 frames option for the VR display to show up. Then you can go back to the 120 Hz setting for the TV & turn it back to "Automatic." Anyone wearing a VR headset wouldn't be using their TV to game on anyway, so there would be zero difference. And if they do switch back to gaming on their TV, it would be on them if they didn't turn 120 Hz to their TV back to "Automatic"

No worries! I think by adding the border to the screen, the cameras on the headset sort of use it as a reference point to ensure that the headset only moves if you do definitely move, so it is a backup to the other methods. This is just a guess though. It seems the best at stopping random head drifting rather than controller issues, so this makes sense to me, but I might be wrong.

[@Octorious]

The sweet spot is definitely quite narrow. It took me a couple days to actually find it and figure out a way to keep the headset there but once you do find it, you'll know as everything will be pin sharp and perfect. I don't think you've found it yet if it's still more blurry than you imagined. However, it could also be your eyes. If you have glasses/contacts and your prescription is off by even the tiniest amount to your real eyesight (let's say you are short sighted), that could cause blurring. If you don't need glasses, it's possible you do have a very very very minor level of short sightedness that has just never needed glasses for real life, but vr does amplify it. Could also be the lenses are already dirty so try giving them a wipe with a clean and fresh microfibre cloth. :)

Why is my side tone audio grey out and I can’t change it?

[@munkyman33]

Same. Are you using headphones or pulse 3d? I can't with pulse

[@usasupra23]

@@munkyman33 I’m using the buds it came with. I didn’t try my Astros yet and I don’t have a Pulse. The earbuds it comes with are super good which is shocking!!!

[@inflewence]

Just got mine and I could unlock the 120 right away. Maybe it was a pre-production bug.

[@Octorious]

Hmm interesting! There've been no new VR2 software updates since launch, or main console software updates so if it was a bug, it can't have been patched without any sort of physical update could it? What display do you have your PS5 plugged into out of interest? I mean, I'm glad it works fine for you, but I wanna figure out why it is locked for so many people regardless of if they are on a 60 or 120hz screen aha

[@danieldexter6101]

When talking about setting 1 and 3 what game is in the background

[@ItsMeCharlieB]

Does changing these affect my regular games on my tv, or does VR have seperate settings ? Do I have to keep changing them back and forth?

[@Octorious]

The power saving and haptic/trigger settings for the controllers are the only ones that'll affect regular gameplay, as they apply to the Dualsense as well as the VR controllers.

[@SKBKER]

OK so just to be clear the 120hz setting is for playing a non vr game with the vr headset because I have played the kayak game and the framerate looks more than 60

[@Octorious]

Yep, you've got it! :)

Thank you this was extremely helpful

[@omegagingy]

i have noticed when recording gameplay and watching the video back, the screen is a bit cut off and not centered. is there a fix for that.

[@UptownNYC]

WAIT... so if you turn OFF the Auto 120 option in order to enable it in your PSVR 2 does that mean when your done gaming with the PSVR 2 you have to go back into the menu and turn the option back to AUTO so it works properly on your PS5 and display??

[@Octorious]

Yuuuup, that's it! :) Very weird, I know haha

[@Manic.miner2077]

So will I be able to play non vr games in the headset? Obviously not in vr though.

[@brandonjamesripley]

Thanks so much for the tips! I was able to get 120hz option turned on for setting 3 but I wasn't able to turn on HDR, it was greyed out. Setting 2 for sidetone was also greyed out, and I wasn't able to turn on or adjust. any advice?

[@usasupra23]

Can you explain if any of these settings will change my TV settings also? I have my TV set to HDR etc and don’t want to toggle back and forth based off if I’m using the VR or TV to play?

[@erijonmehmedi]

This only changes the PS5 settings. Not your tv

Ty for this sir!

hi octorious, i got a question, does the 120hz and hdr impact on all vr games? beacause i can put the 120 hz on but not the HDR is still grey , can you help me? thanks

Hey guy! I prefere to use a receiver that headset, but, the audio its not changing the positions like mine position in the room, Do you know how like I can solve this? Thanks!

[@Strannix1979]

Thanks for the vid. I learned some useful things. There is no way to completely disable the play area/guardian, correct? I don’t use it on Quest, I don’t use it on my HP Reverb, I use a mat instead and mostly play racing games anyway where a play area is just annoying and useless.

[@Octorious]

No worries, glad it helped! 😊 As far as I'm aware, there's no simple off button, but if you edit the play area and just make it as large as possible, going well beyond your walls, you are never going to get the boundary alerts or anything because you won't go anywhere near it. Only do this if you are 100% confident in your mat system and that you won't come close to hitting anything. :)

[@MikeCheckVR]

Sidetone will be helpful for many!

[@smanzoli]

So, I can play GT7 in 120fps in PSVR2? Since 1,31 GT7 supports 120fps, but my tv in 60 only... I´d like to know if game will play at 120 using the PSVR2. "It´s for cinematic mode only" did not help me to understand it.

[@rodrigosz1376]

Is there a way to play non-VR games with VR2 controls?

[@Octorious]

Can't say I've tried it. Boot up a game with just the 2 vr controllers connected and see if they work. 😊 If they don't, then no there won't really be a workaround. Question of curiosity, why would you even want to do this? 😅

[@CrackaJAK3]

Thanks! Super helpful for when I get mine!

Why is there a wallpaper in the center of the TV screen on PSVR2? I want to remove the wallpaper and make the screen full. How can I do that?

mmmm Bonus Option how do you change the cinematic mode , i can’t, it’s grey.. you talk about changing,but how do you do that 😢😅

[@Octorious]

You'll notice my screen size option is also greyed out there. You can only move the slide when you are actually in the VR headset and if I put the VR on, it wouldn't let me record the screen. Infact, for the sidetone setting, you have the same issue, though i stitched all that piece together using screenshots
