I tried Euro Truck Simulator 2 in VR

Hello everyone and welcome to new video. I tried to play Euro Truck Simulator 2 with Meta Oculus Quest 3 VR headset. How did I like it, is it any good? Is ETS 2 worth of playing with VR headset, find out in this video 😉

Have been playing on VR only for the last 3 years. Wouldn’t go back to screen only, the VR realism is amazing!

[@SilverlineNL]

Absolutely agree! It’s awesome! I love the snow with the Frosty winter mod in VR. Next level stuff 😎🤘🏻

[@esala-t8b]

You guys are lucky af bro :)

[@clooneyclown]

And for how long van you drive, like two or three hours? No sick feeling? Cheers

[@SilverlineNL]

@@clooneyclown Yup, you are spot on! Usually about three hours. I started with about 20 minutes for a few times. I would feel myself get a bit nauseous or flu like unwell. Then I built up to an hour for a week or two. After that I hardly ever have problems with nausea no matter how long I play. So a slow build up is what worked for me. 😃

Ngl I've been playing ets2 for 6 years and I think that the feeling of driving a truck in the rain in the Scandinavian roads with some background music in vr is possible the best way to enjoy the game. I have never tried but with this video my mindset has changed a bit. I will consider buying the meta quest in the future (if my wallet likes the idea xd)

"wallet likes the idea" for sure. the one ETD has costs €549 base model I think.

absolutely stunning visuals, they complement your narration perfectly!

[@Necatto]

As for me the main problem in VR mode it is when you look to the objects in even in middle distance at you they look very terrible. They looks in ladder-flickering way an it is so pain for eyes to look long time for it, And some time if you stop very quick from high speed or you turn truck and move you head, or even not move smth you can feel not good. I played different active games in vr (not racing or car sim, but bike race fo expml.) and it is first when i feel bad if play more then 20-30 min because of than strange sence when turn left or right.

[@VRnamek]

that ladder effect is called aliasing. Your PC is probably not good enough for this one in VR - VR is very demanding performance wise. as for not feeling well, that's the famous VRgin motion sickness. Indeed, accelerations and turns trigger it more than linear motion. But here's the deal: you get used to it. A week or month in short, progressively longer sessions get you used to it and your body stops overreacting...

[@scottytissue73]

And what VR lacks in graphics quality, it makes up for in depth perception. I'll tolerate the aliasing as long as everything is in 3D on a 1:1 scale. When I have pedals, a wheel, and a shifter, I feel like I'm really driving that truck. It's great to be able to stay in the cab and not depend on different camera views to do difficult maneuvers. And I also have gotten used to the VR vertigo, which I've experienced in some flying sims. I simply cannot go back to flat screen.

[@Necatto]

@@scottytissue73 No, it's not. I know what aliasing is and I'm not talking about it. Yes, maybe the first impression can brighten up the shortcomings, but with prolonged play, it starts to cause physical discomfort, I'm not talking about "oh, the graphics are bad here" I'm talking about this. And getting used to it is just traumatizing yourself. It's not enough to just attach a VR function to old games, I think that you need to approach this issue more efficiently. Another point is that the game engine or the game's core may not be designed for this and / or it costs a lot of money that no one wants to spend. I am convinced that the larger the company, the greedier it is.

[@pvds2009]

Oke nice, but a real truckdriver, looks at his trailer in de mirror when you turn, and also when get past an other truck. You always want to know what your trailer is doing. Tip for realism. Orherwise why bother in creating the perfect setup if you don't drive it the right way😊. Hope they make a better vr soon for you guys and ladies afcourse.

[@rodrigobarrowdasilva23]

Hello friend, congratulations on the video! Few people who use VR on ETS2 or ATS have commented that they experience some crashes like you mentioned. I actually went through this in tests done with the Quest 2 and 3 that my brother has. The purpose was to be able to test it to decide on buying one for myself. In my tests they were not satisfactory due to the crashes, I configured them in several ways and none of them resolved the stutters. This was the point that I didn't like about ETS2e ATS. Furthermore, even though there is a bit of aliasing on the grids that don't happen on the Computer, the feeling of being inside the truck's cabin is fantastic, but I know that the optimization is hampered by the Quest, which doesn't fully benefit from the hardware in these two games. I tested it on Project Cars 2 and it was another experience, FPS remaining at an average of 70 FPS with graphics at maximum and everything running smoothly... it would be a dream to play ETS2 with this fluidity, then the experience would be 100% fantastic. I would like to test them using Virtual Desktop, as they claim to solve these crashing problems, as it optimizes the game more, leaving a slightly higher and more stable FPS rate without the crashes, which is the weakest point of this game in VR. As I was unable to test it, I have not purchased my Quest 3 until then. I hope that in the future, as SCS is working on game optimization improvements starting with version 1.51... over time, multicores will be used effectively to provide more performance. Anyway, if you can test using Virtual Desktop it might solve your problems, but it will cost you to buy it. Anyway, good game play for you...

[@EuroTruckDriver365]

@@rodrigobarrowdasilva23 Thank you! I agree with everything you said, playing other newer games with vr is totally different experience than ETS 2. I hope that ETS 2 will update to dx12 so we can fully enjoy in vr experience

Been using virtual desktop for a long now, with modded ets, promods and whatnot, no crashes. Basically whenever I want play vr on pc I boot virtual desktop

[@rodrigobarrowdasilva23]

@@anonumus10, the other games that have a native VR version even play well with other apps as well as Quest Link itself. You comment only reinforces that to have a satisfactory (good / great) experience when playing ETS2 and ATS without crashes and fluid, Virtual Desktop is necessary. Thank you for your comentário, now I know that with Virtual Desktop I will solve the problem and I will have the experience I have in other games also in ETS2.

I run strictly VR on Quest 2. I run my Debug only on locked 45 fps but ASW is enabled. Hardly any stutter at all and looks smooth. I have strong aliasing but the depth perception that VR offers is worth it. I see a lot of simmers spending thousands on a multiple monitor setup but they are still viewing the game in two dimensions which is a dealbreaker for me. Once you go VR it's hard to go back. I could not properly do backing maneuvers on a flat screen. With VR I stay in the cab as in real life. Headtrackers for flat screens are unnatural and cumbersome. VR to me is the best realism possible.

[@EuroTruckDriver365]

@@scottytissue73 Hi, I agree, depth perception in VR is something else. What version of the game are you playing on?

@@EuroTruckDriver365 I do ATS 1.50 but it's the same experience for me. Almost every day for a year and I'm just as addicted. I may get ETS 2 in the future, I know I would highly enjoy it. I just can't get enough of ATS tho! In VR it is a huge stress-reliever for me. It has led me to pursuing a CDL in real-life so nothing but positive effects.

Bom dia amigo eu jogo com quest 2 gostaria de saber qual seria a distância entre quest 3

[@EuroTruckDriver365]

I didn't ever tried Quest 2, but what I heard Quest 3 have much better resolution compared to Quest 2

[@rodrigobarrowdasilva23]

Amigo, com o Quest 3 é mais nítido, principalmente a leitura das informações do painel por exemplo, todas coisas menores ficam bem mais nítidas, além é claro do geral mesmo é mais nítido e o ângulo de visão não tem as bordas tipo binóculo que o Quest 2 tem. Porém, o Quest 3 exige mais hardware, pois a tela tem mais resolução e suga mais do PC. O problema geral do ETS2 e ATS é que além dos jogos não serem bem otimizados nem para jogar em monitor, aí no VR é uma versão beta apenas e o desempenho de ambos os jogos fica bem abaixo de jogar no monitor e mesmo que você tenha um Computador Top de linha acaba rodando com FPS baixo no VR. Eu iria comprar o Quest 3, mas ainda estou postergando, fiz o teste com o Quest 2 e Quest 3 do meu irmão e me encomodou alguns travamentos talvez pelo FPS baixo demais, pois com o Quest 3 usando pelo Quest Link o jogo tinha umas lagadas (travadas). Queria testar usando o Virtual Desktop, pois muitos dizem ser o melhor para isso. Em jogos de corrida por exemplo do Project Cars 2 pelo Quest 3 ficou bom demais, no geral com mais de 70 FPS e rodando liso com uma RTX 3080 pelo Quest Link. Então só posso presumir que a culpa de mau desempenho é de fato os jogos da SCS. É fantástica a sensação de estar dentro do caminhão, poder andar dentro da cabine dele, ver os detalhes e todo o resto como na câmera 2 (Externa), ver a dimensão do caminhão, parar a sua frente e se sentir como se estivesse na vida real, o quão imersivo é o VR é fantástico, sureal, mas jogar com travamentos eu não consigo, me encomoda demais. Então espero poder testar o ETS2 e ATS com o Virtual Desktop para aí me decidir se compro o Quest 3 ou não.

[@EuroTruckDriver365]

I have 128gb version, but for ETS or ATS you don't use storage space of Quest. They are pc games

[@rodrigobarrowdasilva23]

To play Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck you do not install the games in VR, but play on your Computer, so the storage size that the Quest has is irrelevant in this case and any other game you play on the Computer. The Quest's internal storage is more of a concern in games installed directly on it, so choosing models with greater capacity is very important if you are going to use it in this way. But if you want to play games on the computer, either one is fine.
