F1 23 VR Gameplay

[@HamVR]

Update on OpenXR Toolkit mentioned at 1:22 This worked with the Preview build and Open Beta build however on the release build of F1 23, the game crashes on the startup splash screen. So for those depending on OpenXR toolkit to play F1 23 in VR I would wait until a fix is available. As it stands, VR performance apears on par with F1 22.

[@MrBigpappaT]

Hi Ham, would you mind sharing your current VR settings for F1 23?

[@EdCapone]

Can’t believe they didn’t put this game in VR for ps5

[@Cedtechnoboy]

Seriously ? That’s was my only request to buy it

[@HamVR]

Thanks for watching!

[@billbaggins1688]

twenty free? Really? Thanks for sharing your foughts, and good job on learning to speak. Oh that's right - you didn't. It's all too fucking hard apparently.

[@stevensurtees8756]

Reading between the lines from the comments below it's the same VR juddery mess as 2022 but obviously your not allowed to say. If all is sweet just say so..... No way will I purchase untill there are open reviews/opinions after release

[@slowinfastout3304]

Is there finally mouse support?

[@tyren14]

Have they fixed the crashing on Oculus Quest 2 headsets, that occurs when you press the flashback button? Made F1 22 unplayable for any length of time.

[@darrensmith4623]

Hi Ham, can you help us workout how to get OpenXR working on it. Having not luck at all.

[@HamVR]

Open Composite does not seem to work with the final release build of F1 23 unfortunately. We will have to wait for an update to OC to get the OpenXR toolkit working again.

[@darrensmith4623]

@@HamVR thanks for clarifying mate. Was going crazy trying to get it running on OC and OpenXR. Hope they bring out an update soon, looking forward to jumping back in when its running clearer and smoother.

[@cazman123]

Is the head tracking movement fixed? Many people had issues where head movement wasn't 1:1

[@HamVR]

I think it's the same implementation tbh. I dont experience shaking in my setup though.

[@Ezpzlmnsqez]

@@HamVR damn, that's a real shame to hear they haven't improved the implementation

[@HamVR]

@@Ezpzlmnsqez I will add, my preview build notes says 'VR is available in this build but does not represent the final performance expectations.' so it's likely there will be more tweaks to VR to come. We're going to have to wait for the review build to get a better idea.

[@NamePend]

@Ham VR have you tried shaking your head up and down? Was there any delay or was the tracking making the world follow your head movement or did it stay perfectly stationary during fast movements

[@MrVkNext]

Curious you don't experience jittering while moving your head around in F1 22. Even on 4090 I can definitely notice it on Reverb G2 and hoping EA can fix it in F1 23.

[@starshipupdates5217]

I have an rtx 3060ti overclocked to 2100mhz, With an oculus quest I also experience the jittering. I initially tried to gather some data using msi after burner and screen recording. With all max settings enabled using the oculus quest 2 at 150 percent resolution, I managed to hit 60-80fps around monaco. The jitter was very bad. While watch back the replay, I noticed that there was no stutter which means the stutter only occurs in the headset(oculus quest 2) and not on my main gaming monitor. After cranking the graphics settings down to low, I managed to get well over 200 fps with 100 percent resolution scaling. but the jitter when head turning was still visible. I then cranked the reolution percentage to 80 percent, set dlss ultra performance to enabled and made sure to have everything on low. I quit every background application, every non game related window, and set my gpu to its highest stable overclock settings (2300mhz). After doing all of this, the stutter finally was almost entirely removed. there was just a slight delay when turning my head, but no stutter. I have to say tho the game looked like something from the year 2000. I couldnt even tell that I was playing f1 22 anymore. For now, AC is the best option for VR.

[@MeimJust]

⁠​⁠@@starshipupdates5217 I honestly think there is too much expectation on that card, for max settings and ramped up resolution. I have the same card, with an i5 cpu and went through similar frustrations. It’s just not able to render that, in VR. I now use TAA only, for medium with a couple tweaks, and 100% resolution in 72hz and I can’t begin to tell you how much fun it is now. To get into the max settings needs and RTX 4070 or higher, for VR.

[@LilAndGame]

They haven't

[@belalencses5901]

@@starshipupdates5217 Hi what is AC?

[@starshipupdates5217]

@@belalencses5901 AC or Assetto Corsa is a racing game with very high levels of modding support. if you add the content manager addon to assetto corsa, you can unlock virtual reality. Due to assetto corsa being very well optimised, it can run virtual reality on the majority of mid teir hardware.

[@bartkoper9545]

Hi, How you solve the shaking haed issue in VR mode ?

[@starshipupdates5217]

could you give me some insight into the performance your getting. are you CPU bound at all, is your gpu running at 100 percent, and is the game stuttering in vr at all. Also, do we have raytracing available in vr this year? last year, VR did not support raytracing but normal single screen rendering did?

[@HamVR]

As this is an early preview build I'm not permitted to go into performance details. However I should have more informaion once the review builds are available.

[@AdventureGutta]

Hi! How can we look at the leaderboard whilst in VR? :)

[@kwaski374]

Thanks as always for this, Ham!

[@HamVR]

NP Thanks Kwaski 👍

[@CaptainPeanut]

Does the game still reset your view all the time?

[@l-zero1941]

What kind of vr work with simracings games?

[@HamVR]

Any that support PCVR (SteamVR) e.g. HTC Vive, Valve Index, HP Reverb G2, Pico Neo, Meta Quest 2 and a few more.

[@GameOnScorpio]

How is the VR this time round in the game. I found that in F1 22 it was quite jittery.

[@HamVR]

It looks very similar but I didn't get jitters on my 7800X3D and 4090. This is also a preview build and I'm told it does not represent the final performance expectations.

[@dongzmandope8437]

I purchased F123 on the Steam platform, and I want to play the VR version of F123. When I enter the game from Steam, the steering wheel does not respond.I don't have any issues with the VR mode of other games such as F122, ACC, and DIRT2. Is it a problem with the QUEST2 resolution setting? My base is dd pro. 😞😞😞

[@dongzmandope8437]

When I enter the game with quest2，, the steering wheel base，Keyboard, handle does not respond.

[@dongzmandope8437]

I can see the screen in Quest2, but all device buttons are disabled.

[@willemdas294]

That's awesome, thanks so much ! Btw, you don't get any laptime data in VR whilst in Timetrial ?

[@gallako57fring34]

How to play it in vr before the launch? Do I just have to launch f1 22 in VR and go on f1 23 demo section?

[@lucasg8960]

Hi! I’m looking for a PC to run VR for f1 23, would you please give me some recommendations? Thank you in advance

[@HamVR]

For F1 23 it's hard to beat the AMD X3D cpus, so I would recommend the 7800X3D first (I would avoid the dual CCD cpus like the 7950X3D & 7900X3D unless you like managing cores) then 5800X3D if you budget is lower. GPU just go for the 4090 for VR.

[@lucasg8960]

@@HamVR thank you immensely! I’m new to PC since I’ve always used MAC. Would you recommend building it from scratch or find a nice built one? If possible would you perhaps recommend any built one?

[@belalencses5901]

Hello, thanks for the video. Have the 2022 errors been fixed? the 2022 vr version was very shaky and caused a lot of sickness...THnx for the Answer!

[@thevirtualgoalie]

no

[@beaterbagcar]

Is steam VR the only way to go with oculus, or any headset?

[@HamVR]

Yes it only has Steam VR mode.

[@gigihpratama8425]

nice video, what is ur full specs?

[@HamVR]

Currently AMD 7800X3D , RTX4090. Rig Fanatec GT DD Pro and McLaren GT3 wheel. Footage captured from a Quest 2 with link cable.

[@firinglight]

When do you think you’ll do another race on GT7. I finally bought it

[@Goryglory0209]

Ham you will do a video on the new f1 23 settings? Like the one for f1 22.

[@HamVR]

I doubt it, the best settings seem to be the same as F122. If Open Composite is updated to work with F1 23 I might release a short video.

[@Popesta]

Just wondering if its game physics and handling is comparable to any other sim you might have tried. Just as a reference. I know its subjective but always good to know

[@HamVR]

I think it's starting feel a bit like Asseto Corsa. Not as detailed, but more natural feeling than it was, and less slidey than AMS2. I've not driven iRacing formula cars so compare to that. It's way better than GT7 formula cars IMO.

[@Popesta]

@@HamVR Thanks for that. I was almost certainly going to buy regardless but great to get your opinion

[@reptilexcq2]

@@HamVR What about FFB? Is it comparable to AMS2? Are you driving with DD1? I think AMS2 has the best physics/handling/FFB and that's why it's the best racing sim in VR.

[@HamVR]

@@reptilexcq2 FFB is improved and you can feel the kerbs more than before. I'm using Fanatec GT DD Pro with booster pack.

[@markbooth]

This is not available on PSVR2 then?

Nope.

@@HamVR dead to me then

@@dokedoker3340 says all I need to hear. They don’t care about VR yet which is fine as they are looking back at their money machine and not forward yet.

[@MrBreakthompson]

Does it finally work in VR now? SMFH

[@uruwashii5231]

Thanks Ham, good insight. Got this on pre-order. Any visual improvements you can see in VR?

[@HamVR]

There's a more natural colour effect, whether that's better is subjective really. I did notice new tyre smoke effects when you lock your tyres up. I'm hoping to get my hands on the review build (not sure when) as that will more accurately reflect the final visuals.

[@Gaming-Legends007]

Nice, awaiting your thoughts on your new Pimax hammer head shark headset👍

[@HamVR]

Hammer head 🦈 oh yeah. Still waiting for a status update on my pre-orde from a few weeks back. I think Pimax said it could be another 2 months!

[@ZTY_tisma]

It’s possible to play vr whit PS5 ?

No. There's no PSVR2 support, it's PCVR only.

[@ZTY_tisma]

@@HamVR ok Thank you I hope it comes out on play one day.

[@WhyRiley]

Am i the only one that can't play it in VR? I have set all my graphics to the lowest, and still run at 9FPS with a 3060 TI, Plus when i do get about 20FPS in, for some reason when i move my head the game moves with my head and its really sickining. Overall i just can not run f1 23 in VR, i play assetto in vr and that is perfect.

[@thevirtualgoalie]

nah man same problem high end pc no matter the settings i get like 10 fps and everything is fliockering and on track its absolute ass cant even turn my head before it flicks around like crazy. i recommend get iracing and buy the f1 car

@@thevirtualgoalie i have assetto and thats really good its just i dont want to pay a subscription thing just yet
