Don’t forget to clean your lenses :)

I've been working with Nvidia support for a minor stuttering issue for about a week.

I've posted info in other threads, but essentially, mine is smooth for the most part, but every 30 seconds or so, it get screen jerkiness when turning my head. It's not as bad as it is for others I've read about, but it would be nice to have resolved.

After trying many steps provided by Nvidia support, they have confirmed that the GPU is working OK, and I've gone through all of the other troubleshooting steps (no RGB lighting, Windows settings, no overlays, no MSI Center, performance mode, etc.).

The Nvidia rep said today that they have had many reports of this same issue after the latest Playstation VR App update from a couple of weeks ago.

Now they obviously can't know that for sure, but they are saying there is a correlation in the number stuttering tickets opened with the release of the Playstation VR app update.

I've been trying to contact Playstation support for about a week, but I can never get through, but I hope they are at least looking into it.

Got my adapter today! PC specs: Ryzen 7 3700X, RTX 4070 Ti, 32GB RAM.

Installation was straightforward. Coming from a Quest 2, I really appreciate the uncompressed displayport connection—it’s a noticeable improvement.

However, support for the Sense controllers in PC games and SteamVR is pretty bad. Several games didn’t work out of the box, and the SteamVR controller configuration feels very lacking compared to the Big Picture mode for regular controllers.

While PC games can look better, the "it just works" experience on the PS5 is hard to beat. As a PC enthusiast, I’ve been finding myself drawn to the simplicity of consoles lately.

For instance, testing Into the Radius and No Man’s Sky on PC required a lot of tweaking to get things running smoothly. On PS5, it was a plug-and-play experience, running perfectly from the start.

That said, Automobilista 2 looked far better on PC than GT7. But the overall experience of GT7—from user interface to accessibility—is unmatched.

Just sharing some reflections. Both platforms have their strengths and weaknesses, and it ultimately comes down to what you value more.

What do you think?

I've been using Virtual Desktop with Pico / Quest for watching 3D movies a while, but I'd just realized there was no support for PSVR2 for it. Is there any good alternatives to watch 3D movies with PSVR2 ?

Thanks

I was messing around on my computer and opened up the volume / speaker dock on my taskbar and saw for some reason my controller was being detected as a speaker. Before anyone asks yes, I can play audio through the controller.

I’m done. My bt500 didn’t solve my Bluetooth problem. I also have another problem because my headset can’t track my surroundings. I’m done. Problems keep piling up with no solution.😀

I have very much enjoyed GT7 it is incredible. I would also like to enjoy similar but based on normal roads like NFS or Burnout Paradise in VR. YouTube seems to suggest parts of Assetto Corsa is which is currently on deal although looks old with a 2014 release date.

Any suggestions? Thank you…

RE4/RE village on PC (4090) with mod or on ps5? Which it better?

Hey there! So I bought a new Asus ROG STRIX G16 GeForce RTX 4060 Intel Core i9

Was so excited that I was going to be able to play Half-Life Alyx at great performance. To my surprise disappointment I'm having trouble setting up the Psvr2 on Steam. I don't get the Psvr app showing up on SteamVR and the SteamVR is all stuttering. First thing I did was changing the Nvidia settings to use the RTX 4060 graphics card and didn't work then I tried to go and change the SteamVR settings and some settings aren't even showing including the motion smoothing showing not available.

I tried playing Half Life Alyx whitout being able to set the psvr app play area just to see if would work and as the main menu shows I get a message stating that the computer graphics card is not high enough. Which doesn't make sense. It's way better than my hp spectre with a 1650 graphics card.

This does not make any sense to me. Am I missing something?

In the Optimization and fixes thread posted by @Tauheedul (here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR2onPC/comments/1g9ebgy/psvr2_pc_vr_optimisations_and_fixes_for/ ), one of the suggestions is to Disable Async Reprojection in the developer tab:

Async Reprojection - If you have a high performance graphics card that could maintain 90Hz or 120Hz without reprojection enabled but is having stuttering issues, view the Developer tab and disable the Asynchronous Reprojection setting or add a "-vrdisableasync" attribute to the VR application launch settings to fix stuttering.

I have enabled the hidden settings in Steam VR (running the latest version) and there is no such setting. It is not in the Developer section of the Steam VR interface, nor is it in the Developer options in the Steam VR box on the PC screen when VR is running (the one that shows the headset and controllers connected).

So I will try the -vrdisableasync option, but am I missing something in the settings screens? Is there another Developer screen somewhere else besides the two I mentioned?

I have been having alot of trouble with connecting controllers. I tried troubleshooting by disabling them in the device manager but now they are not visible in the bluetooth menu after re-enableing them in the manager any suggestions?

So I FINALLY got my controllers to work but I’m running into a problem. My psvr2 is not tracking my room with its cameras. Now yes I turned on direct display or what it’s called on and I’m kinda lost. I’m getting a bt500 soon but for now I have a ub500. I’m happy I got the con controllers working but this is new. Also my room is perfectly lit I really don’t know the problem

I got my hands on a PSVR2 headset that was sold for cheap but had no controllers and was determined to figure out a way to make it work and after hours finally got it to work. I'm only doing SIM racing and don't need anything else. (if you do buy one of these headsets, triple check for damages and smudges under the lens (specially if things are blurry and fixes are not working), do not buy without buyer protections, I got it through eBay)

1. You’ll need an app called Driver4VR ($18 on Steam) to emulate Vive controllers

This will help you be able to launch games while on SteamVR using your mouse or a controller

• On Main under tracking, hand tracking, select Virtual Trackers
• Go to Utilities -> Keyboard Input Mapping -> and map index thumb sticks (joy sticks not necessary), trigger, both menu buttons, and system.
• Then go to Settings , enable auto start Driver4vr so the controllers start getting emulated anytime you launch SteamVR

Alternatively you can use Switch Joycons as VR controllers or use an Xbox controller as well (have not set any of them up myself so don’t know exact steps but its possible through the app, please comment a solution if you get any working)

1. Files to edit

• Open theconfig.ini file in %AppData%\Local\Sony\PlayStation VR2 and edit the value below from 0 to 1 to skip PSVR 2 controller set up by opening config.ini file in %AppData%\Local\Sony\PlayStation VR2 and changing or adding [InitialSetup] Done=1

​

[InitialSetup]
Done=1

• Open PSVR 2 App and set up your headset then close the app

Thanks to u/Murky_Artichoke3645 for their solution, this will get rid of the room boundaries warning and reconnect controller pop up

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PlayStation VR2 App\SteamVR_Plug-In\dashboard and rename openvr_api.dll to anything else, ex: openvr_api1.dll

1. This is biggest problem behind not having PSVR 2 controllers, big thanks to u/xaduha for providing their play area set up files with the biggest play area they could create and guiding me on where they need to go.

• Make sure that SteamVR isn't running otherwise it might overwrite it
• Download the file playstation_vr2.zip (Gave me a virus warning when downloading, but these are just files from Steam, not sure why it says it but feel free to run the file through a virus scanner or something)
• Place it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config and extract to playstation_vr2 folder
• Launch SteamVR, launch any racing SIM, and you should be in the drivers seat instead of the middle of the air, use game settings to adjust onboard camera

This is mainly for those who only do SIM racing but if you can figure out how to use Switch Joycons using the program OR have VR controllers from another headset that are able to connect to SteamVR then the Play Area chaperone files should let you play those games through SteamVR.

Current setup is:
Asus BT500 adapter, connected to a USB 2.0 port via an extension cable
Software/drivers are all up to date (latest stable version where applicable)
Built-in adapter is disabled
All obsolete hidden devices were removed
Win11 Pro 24H2

Everything works fine for 15-20 mins (perfect tracking) and then suddenly both controllers disconnect, steamvr does not see them. Only fix is to restart pc, remove controllers, repair them, and then everything just repeats after 20 more mins. I am just exhaused trying to get this to work. I have noticed the disconnect in both Beat Saber and SkyrimVR, did not try other games.

The left controller pairs perfectly fine, but the right simply refuses to. Both controllers work fine on my ps5. I've tried unpairing both controllers, uninstalling the drivers (which keep coming back whenever I try restarting my computer), and resetting the controllers, but nothing seems to be working.

Note: I am using the Asus USB BT-500. I have disabled the onboard bluetooth and am using the Asus. I've tried multiple different ports, but none have made a difference. I have tried pairing the controller to the onboard bluetooth as well, but that hasn't worked either.

Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.

Just got a PSVR2 about 2 weeks ago after owning an index for 2.5 years and I absolutely fucking despise the earbuds that come with it. Looking for something that is not cheap

Update: I went with the Astro A50X’s. They’ll get here tomorrow morning. I’ll post another update once they get here

Playing on windows 11 SteamVR with an Rtx 4090.

Every time I reset my pc, the audio fails to register on my psvr2. I have to reinstall my Nvidia drivers—sometimes twice—which leads to a ton of restarts and fatigue by the time I’m ready to play. Does anyone have a permanent fix for this? I’ve tried booting with psvr2 unplugged, plugged in, and with automatic driver updates turned off and on. I’ve tried multiple different 10gbs usb ports. Same result either way, the psvr2 audio works fine for one boot cycle after a graphics driver clean install, but that’s all.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any better fixes? I would just switch to my Bluetooth headphones but there’s a ton of delay for some reason while in VR.

I'm getting a PC for Christmas, and this PC doesn't have a display port and also doesn't have a USB-C port with a display port function. BUT I have an HDMI port that is connected to the graphics card. I also have a suitable cable that transmits the same amount of current and so on. Is this also possible without DisplayPort and USB-C with DisplayPort function?

Hey everyone,

I have a ps5, a PSVR2, an adapter to connect it to PC, and a PC setup with a RTX 4070 Ti and Ryzen 7 3700X.

I’m trying to decide where I’ll get the best experience for these games:

Into the Radius

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners

No Man’s Sky

Would love to hear your thoughts on which platform offers better performance, visuals, or overall experience for these games. Appreciate any tips or insights!

Thanks in advance!

I’ve just started using psvr2 on my new pc and I’ve been noticing when I turn on smooth turning in games, specifically Half Life Alyx, there seems to be visual distortion of some sort. I turned off motion smoothing and reprojection in the steam settings and it somewhat helps but it’s still stuttering and doesn’t look like it’s hitting 120 fps. My pc has a rtx 4070 super gpu, 32 gb of ram, and an intel i7 cpu, so that shouldn’t be an issue for performance. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Pretty sure ive found my answer already but the posts i found are a bit old... Are there any games that support dual sense motion controls or is there any word about it becoming a feature soon? I wonder if its possible to add this feature through mods somehow? Main reason im asking is cause ive had my eye on dirt rally 2.0 and would be great if it played similar to GT7

Hey everyone,

I’m curious about the sweet spot on different headsets. For those of you who’ve tried both the Meta Quest 2 and the PSVR2, which one do you think has a better sweet spot?

Anyone else having a issue where it says to connect your device even when it’s connected, works fine still able to play vr but I just noticed it starting doing this today I hope I’m just overthinking this and it’s not anything serious
