[DR2][VR][OpenXR][OpenComposite] Dirt Rally 2 Optimized HP Reverb G2 Settings

[@rANdomiZER5273]

Absolute game changer. I was ready to give up on this game in VR but its a whole new world now. You're amazing, thank you for helping me maintain my love for this game and simracing in general!

[@Bob-huisbaas]

Another thing which really impacts vr is in the global cache size, to change this go to Nvidia > Manage 3D settings > Global Settings > Shader cache size = change to 100 GB You will notice this also reduces the stuttering

[@wanderschikanentv]

Hi Bob, thanks for heads-up! I never changed that one, I'll give it a try!

[@jackwinder]

Yes, this helped me too! Although I have 10GB

[@apollotruman9586]

you have made my vr experience so much better, thank you so much. i would like to see your skills used across many other vr games like alien isolation, war thunder etc.

[@wolfencopter]

Thank you for taking the time to create such a well presented video!! There are a few things in here that I missed the first time I set up OpenComposite for my Reverb G2 on nearly the same spec system so I can't wait to try this out!!

[@deefactual]

I am so new to this and I'm grateful for the amazing video, however I get totally lost at 11:13 - is this OculusVR? SteamVR? Did you do it via Quest Link? No matter what I do at this point I cannot get that OpenXR menu to show up, and I think I've just made a simple wrong turn somewhere, if you've any idea where, I'd be very grateful. Thank you again for the helpful video!

[@wanderschikanentv]

The whole Video is done on Reverb G2, so Windows Mixed Reality. If all is set up properly, you start the game via SteamVR option, but it runs as OpenXR. Only then, you can open the menu at 11:13. Unfortunately, I can't help with other Headsets as I don't own them.

[@deefactual]

@@wanderschikanentv Gotcha and thank you again for your information, it's very helpful. I'm loving VR, as new as I am to the party ^_^

[@Woopass90]

Thank you Mike. I tuned my Dirt 2 install last night. It runs great. Im loving running NZ in the wet.

[@MonkeyJug]

Wow!! You are amazing doing this. It looks absolutely stunning!.I just got my 4090 and can't wait to try this.

[@The.Real.Zer0DazE]

Even with a 4090 this title ran poorly with the G2. With OpenXR and OpenComposite I have FSR at 85% and all settings maxed, including MSAA at 8x, and getting a solid 90 fps at night in the rain heavily wooded stages. No more shimming ground cover at night in the rain is amazing. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together.

Works nice on Quest 2 and rtx 3080. I changed anistropic filering and antialiasing to 8x in nvidia and bumped some settings in dirt 2. Thanks for these setting videos. I have already used for ACC and now for dirt 2 and both are amazing even with differrent VR headset.

[@kubaz900]

I have 19-20 fps in menu like you here 17:22 . Is this normal? Also my input doesn't work when starting with opencomposite runtime. EDIT: Alt-tabed game, clicked on Quest 3 controllers then Alt-tabed back and works now with normal fps.

Appreciate the awesome guide, havent got a chance to fully test but on free roam area it looks like it runs at a stable 90 on my inferior graphics card (3070). I might lower some graphic settings so I can up the MSAA and filtering, I really value having a clear picture over graphical fidelity because it feels easier on my eyes.

Many thanks! How do you start dirt rally? Even if I config openXR, when clicking on dirt rally it’s starts via steam and can’t get it to view VR mode without steamVR .. I have oculus 3 and windows 11 I do not have installed WMR

Any idea (w/ G2 on) why the car looks compressed or too narrow in the paddock, on the start line before you get in and when watching replays? Almost like the viewable area as been compressed from the left and right or stretched from top to bottom. Everything is ok in car. Thank you for your videos!

The headlights actually work, fantastic video dr2 as it should be 👍 Just need Rfactor2 now, please

[@MrEDET]

After 2 years of messing with the settings - I finally got rid of the stutters which I had despite running at a stable 90fps. First of all - your settings are awesome. I could now run DR2 at the same resolution I was using - but now with MUCH better graphics. I was using CMAA for example which makes the graphics extremely washed out. I have a 2080S so I have to use Toolkit FSR at 80% to get a stable 90fps (in dry weather). But again, even with a stable 90fps and getting around +40% headroom on both CPU and GPU - things just didn't feel smooth. Then just to test - I set the FSR to 60%. Completely buttersmooth graphics and the carhandling felt better too. So that is the very weird thing with DR2. Normally when a sim runs at 90fps, it's smooth - for DR2 that's not the case, which you probably don't notice when you run on a high end system. But since you still have some dips too, in wet probably even more, I'm curious if you could run yours at 60% FSR, way too low for what your system can handle, and let me know how that feels for you. For me it really was an omg moment when it FINALLY run and felt smooth :D

[@wanderschikanentv]

Appreciate the feedback! I will also check your recommendations and the Jones form other users after my weekend break from VR :-)

[@lunatik147]

Awesome! many many thanks!! I was near to give up because can't get to launch the game via steam vr and now it works perfectly. Completly game changer! In add, I test open composite with ETS2 which ran badly and stutter with steamvr , now it 's much better . Thanks for all

HI I repeated everything exactly, but the game starts as usual (RX 6700XT Reverb G2)

[@Papaizitoo]

Hello @wanderSchikanenTV Great job! I tried to record with OpenXR VR in OBS using Jabbah plugin. I installed it following the instructions and started OBS as an administrator. It turns out that Dirt Rally using OpenComposite leaves the monitor with a black screen, I couldn't solve it, could you help me?

[@wanderschikanentv]

I don't have access to my PC at the moment, but I try to remember by heart. IIRC, the screen stays black for me also (at least most of the time). To record in OBS, the plug-in adds a new source, called something like OpenXR Recording. That gives you the raw image of one eye of the headset, so 3000x~2980 pixels, with the shape of that lens. Out of that raw image, with the "Transform" functionality of OBS, I crop out an appropriate section in 1920x1080.

[@MrPopulec]

On the film U have a 40% free GPU power! Use It! My configuration: i5-10600k, RTX4070 12GB OC, 32GB DDR4 2666mhz -> Virtual Desktop with openXR -> AAx4, AFx16 - in game-> ULTRA preset and 3000x3000px per eye and i have 5% free power of GPU and ULTRA SHARP and ULTRA SMOOTH 72fps on Quest 2. Now this game is absolutly stunning!

[@Deceter]

Do I need SteamVR installed regardless? I can't get DR2 to start in VR at all. My only options in loading from Steam are DR2, DR2 SteamVR, DR2 Oculus.

[@wanderschikanentv]

Yes, set everything as described in Video and start the game with the SteamVR option. It will then bypass SteamVR and go to OpenXR.

You will need to experiment on your own for Meta Quest, as I don't own one and therefore the settings in the video are for Reverb G2. The general workflow to get OpenXR running via OpenComposite is the same, though.

[@LeSpameurYT]

@@wanderschikanentv Ok, for example when i put in the openxr toolkit the field of view on 90° the image looks not right, its very strange...

[@wanderschikanentv]

@@LeSpameurYT I would consider the field of view adaption only as a finetuning. If it is giving distortion, simply leave it at 100% Default

[@perttipersereika4029]

I did'n get it to open in openXR mode,maybe because I have different Nvidia driver. Thanks for the video because It still looked better than before, no flickering and lighting especially was better. Spain had bad colors for some reason but that doesn't matter. Tarmac sucks, it's not even rally driving to me.

[@wanderschikanentv]

Nvidia drivers are not the reason why the game doesn't start in OpenXR. Go to OpenComposite, switch to SteamVR and back to OpenComposite, and give it another try 💪

I am buzzing for things like the Medical industry using VR to carry out scenarios in experimentation to practice the real thing, And as always practice makes perfect, lol, There will be concerts next through the Quest, Already Pioneer is setting the DJ world by putting VR decks you can mix on, Mind blown, lol, An that Avatar thing is going to take off like Crazy, There will be NFT avatars if not already lol, And also Education, Extremely important for the younger generation, Putting FUN into learning is a sure fire way of getting youngsters to learn, Anything can ne replicated with VR making the Science Class room a thing of the past, Practical experiments can be done by way of VR, A class room will have kids wearing VR headsets in the near distant future, Tell your kids that and they will start loving school, lol, Jokes aside VR is going to be everywhere by Xmas time, Making all games coming out VR optimized, Amazing, Dirt Rally 2 got VR great, AMS 2 is great as well, ACC is a bit clumpy, And Beam NG is a no hope in VR, Well gutted Beam NG is terrible in VR, I tried but there is so much stress setting up Beam NG in VR it is getting my Anxiety levels high, I can't do Beam NG in VR, And now I can't do Sim racing with the TV screen, At all, lol, So AMS 2 and Dirt Rally 2 at the moment is the only 2 Sims worth playing in VR, I have not tried iRacing see, I am going to get the CarXdrift title next month, But Sim raving in VR have come a long way since 2 years ago when I started Sim racing, That was a PSVR though, Still that was Dirt Rally on the PSVR, Was Ok for half hour, And I payed more for the PSVR than the Quest 2, CONsoles is exactly that a CON, By the time you payed a years subscription for playstation you could of put it towards the cost of a PC and get a much better Sim Racing experience, And PC runs VR amazingly, lol, The link cable is bad ass, With the Elite strap that got a 5000mAh battery, WaveVR, So far it is bad ass, I am getting 8 hours of VR from it, lol, Plenty of VR if you ask me, I will get 6 hours as a stand alone from the strap as well, Oh yeah your video reminded me to set the power to High on the GPU, And reminded me I can improve the VR a bit by way of GPU settings, I didn't know Each game can be individual sorted with it's own GPU settings, So thanks for passing that Knowledge to me, lol, After all knowledge is key.... Happy Sim racing yeah, Peace.............. Oh yeah do anyone know how to get Beam NG working good using i5 12600k CPU and 12gb 3060 GPU by the way please, I am desperate to get Beam NG working good, One of the main Reasons for getting the Quest 2 was for Beam NG, Oh and AMS 2, Oh and Dirt Rally 2, I am getting Star Wars Squadrons too, It looks great in VR, A close friend got me Elite so I am going to try Elite tomorrow, Just having a crap mental health day today, Demotivated from not sleeping because I suffer with CPTSD and get bad weeks, PTSD is so hard to live with, I will jump on Dirt 2 later though and try some different settings, I did download that Open XR toolkit, Will Beam NG work Better using the Open XR thing?, I will work it all out later, But yeah big up for reminding me about the GPU settings lol, I am not too clever with common sense sometimes, lol, Again happy Sim racing, Peace.........

Dirt Rally 2. It looks great in video, and amazing game to play, I'm addicted, but I've just tried DR2 in Quest 3 pc vr, somethings really off with the depth man, I'm flat out in 5th gear and it looks like I'm going 10mph? What is with that? Everything is squashed, like 1 mile is squashed down into 100 meters or something 😂, not impressed. Anyone else notice this? Back to flat screen for now as its so much faster

[@wanderschikanentv]

Speed sensation is mostly a matter for world scale. Did you change something on that option? I also did a video on that.

Many thanks for doing this Mike. your settings still dont help my DR2. This game has to be the most difficult game to get running well in VR. no matter what I do I get smooth 90 frames in places and then some mega drops in FPS to sometimes 55 FPS. Just makes no sense. Im running a 3080ti and i7 10 gen CPU with NVMEs and 32 GB 3200 on HP reverb G2 and no matter what I try its poor at the best of times. Appreciate the help though Mike, thank you.

The first thing you should try is lower or turn off the visitors. These people are very demanding on the fps for some reason

I put hiddenMeshVerticalScale=0.8 at the top of my opencomposite.ini file but I get a 'Unknown config option hiddenMeshVerticalScale=0.8 on line 1' error. Maybe you have any idea why that apparently doesn't work for me?

[@wanderschikanentv]

Any spaces hiding in the file maybe?

[@wanderschikanentv]

Otherwise, at first, skip this step.

[@wanderschikanentv]

There was also a user in the AMS2 video who encountered that error, but he didn't report whether he could fix it :-(

[@MrEDET]

@@wanderschikanentv No but meanwhile I noticed something else is going on - when I deleted that line again and tried to start DR2, the game quits 2 seconds after launching it. I thought it might be some VR or OpenXR issue so I started it in desktop mode - same issue. Only thing I changed are the Nvidia settings you suggested so that can't be it. Doing a file integrity check now, otherwise I'll do a fresh install. Superweird this :-/

[@wanderschikanentv]

@@MrEDET Really weird. In the past, I once also needed to re-download OpenComposite. Also, if you are already an OpenComposite user, start the .exe and see if it downloads an update.

Whenever I use VD to open the Dirt exe after applying everything in the video, the game will not run in VR. All it does is run on the virtual screen inside VD app. OK, for anyone having this issue, try renaming the d3d11.dll in your Dirt Rally 2.0 folder to something like d3d11.dll.orig. This worked for me, and the game boots into XR mode without Steam or Steam VR.
