War Thunder Oculus Rift DK2 IPD and Head Tracking Fix

Seeing double? Head tracking lag making you sick? Black screen? Quick video showing the easy fixes from museumsteve / ammonthenephite / jwsimmons and others all combined to make WT playable again on the DK2.

VERY helpful thanks! Saw your post on oculus share :)

[@djtyros]

When setting the debug option as you show at 3:10, I don't see any options other than "OpenGL (test)"

[@MixedRealitySimRacing]

i followed the instructions, but have still a way to big fockpit. what could i have made wrong?

[@NJ-Tech]

legend! Worked a treat! Now can you de-giant me for the final win?

[@eduardwerner3087]

Thanks for the vid, but it doesn't help me (Geforce 760x), it still judders badly. Adding those zeros only results in getting the picture on the left (so I have to turn my head to see it).

my specs are i 5 4690k r9 290 tri x 8 gig ram windows 8.1

[@k.m.6265]

your videos are great! but i was wondering. I just got my vive, and the 1st person view doesnt have a cockpit view like i see in your videos. Is this a mod i dont know about? or do i need to enable it in options?

[@Troyota119]

Tesla FTW!

[@Zsinjeh]

Worked perfectly, however my mouse can only move around half the image inside War Thunder and I'm not quite sure how to fix it. Have you run into this? I can move the mouse cursor in the game only in the right side of the game, it runs into an invisible wall on the left half. e: Never mind, I fixed it. I had set my DK2 to double the resolution with Nvidia control panel and it effectively halfed the resolution when in a game with 1080p resolution.

[@TheIceForge]

I got an issue though with it not distorting properly and it does not turn the track camera on either ( works fine for several demo's and it is working on and off for WT )

[@alexgarsia8755]

Can you explain how you can tweak the Field of View in that file? how the numbers work? Thank you for the video, it was really helpfull.!

[@redspasz]

works for me. but I feel like a toddler in the cockpit. any fixes for this?! so close yet....

[@PimBJJ]

Great vid, will try ASAP. Any chance you could help me out with a problem on alien isloation ?. i get judder as my fps drops to 50-55 in big rooms etc. the problem seems to be making changes to graphics does not make any visible difference and none to fps, so ultra is at 50-55 as is low detail. just wondered if you could help as you seem to know what you are talking about. Cheers :-)

[@mdbuehler]

Neil Pimlott Is the Rift your primary monitor? As big a PITA as setting it up that way can be, it can fix a lot of the judder problems (oddly in DCS it makes it worse). I've also had better luck keeping frame rates high forcing some games to DX9 when that is an option (as opposed to DX11). War Thunder (for me) is currently one of them.

[@GahMehGrrrr]

I have a double image in the right eye with 1.61 and Oculus CV1 - any of this work with that?

[@acoulte8072]

I am having the same eexact issue. It is not a matter of adjusting eyes, adjusting IPD or eye to nose ratio in oculus settings. I get double rendered objects on right eye in the Oculus and on the screen showing the rift view. I havent seen a fix for this yet. I have latest runtime, DK2, latest war thunder experimental client (didnt change anything). I would love to play but it is too damn jarring to look at.

[@GahMehGrrrr]

Alex Coulter looks like a WT issue.

[@acoulte8072]

Sadly. I was so pumped.

[@GahMehGrrrr]

It wasn't present a few weeks ago with CV1. :(

[@acoulte8072]

really, that is strange. was there an update very recently?

[@TheEmeraldSkills]

When o fly with the oculus i see no name tags and no text anywhere just the plane the world and other planes nothing else can you help me?

[@Lycon721995]

TheEmeraldSkills Minecraft-Tutoriels-Animations this happens with me to it kinda sucks in arcade battles as you shoot a Nazi plane then it so happens to be on your team it's really anoying

[@TheEmeraldSkills]

Yeah when you have the fix can you tell me?

[@Pulsed101]

When am playing the game i am seeing two screens (one for each eye), exactly how it looks towards the end of this video. Is this normal?

[@mdbuehler]

On your TV or on your Rift? On the TV in Rift mode it does mirror in double vision like that. In the Rift it shouldn't. If it does, you are most likely using the newest Nvidia drivers that are buggy (causes double Rift vision in the Rift) so roll back to a driver from November and you'll be OK.

[@Pulsed101]

mdbuehler I guess that explains it, i have a brand new rig with a brand new GPU. I've read there are alot of issues with Warthunder so i might hold off for now. Elite Dangerous on the other hand is absolutely mind blowing with the rift. Coolest experience ever. :)

[@Gdlen1]

Pulsed101 had the same double image issue until I rolled back to 344.75

[@sarhangshahab2729]

runtime_sdk_0.6.0.1 ?? or 0.7 ?? plz help

[@mdbuehler]

+sarhang shahab Use the latest SDK for Oculus, and the "Work in Progess" client for War Thunder. Rift support works 100% now that way :)

[@InterceptOne]

Have they fix war thunder for the DK2 yet?

[@mdbuehler]

+InterceptOne Not yet :( Doesn't work on CV1 either. I'd heard last week they might have something, but still not working as of today.

[@mdbuehler]

+InterceptOne It works now (CV1 for sure, perhaps DK2) if you use the latest SDK, and the "Work in Progress" client for War Thunder.

[@InterceptOne]

+mdbuehler (throws hands up) woooooooooooooooooooooooo imma go download it meow! Thanks for the heads up I really appreciate it.
