GT7 & PSVR2

[05XR8]

Yeah, image Quality looks the same.

Regarding the supplied earphones, I’m sure quality headphones are better, but I feel PD didn’t skimp on the sound quality of the earphones. Still sounds amazing.

Thx to this forum I gave my Bose headphones another try instead of the supplied ones. Much more fun indeed, somehow I thought its uncomfortable but it is not. Obv a bit annoying to have a controller next to the rig and a cable for the headphones.
Anyone here using a bluetooth adapter? Is that a good solution?

Yeah I use my Mezes Classics overears plugged into ps5 controller. Just about fit, but fit fine.

I always use my ps5 controller outside of races anyway, so not a big problem having it next to me, long headphones cable so doesn;t annoy me at all.

I bought a controller holder (£8.40 from Amazon) and bolted it to my rig next to my wheel. I then ran the controller power cable up the rig so that I don't ever have to worry about charging it. From there, the headset reaches my head just fine. It also means that the controller buttons are accessible if I need them, plus I can disconnect the controller power cable if I ever need to use it in the traditional way.

 

[jenson86]

That’s a very nice solution! My wife likes to play beat saver so I still think wireless is a must for me. Will check out these bluetooth adapters.

There's always some amount of placebo posts after any update, I wouldn't be surprised if it's happening here too, especially since these improvements can come from just positioning the headset a bit better.

I don't know what they have or haven't done in terms of image quality, but something has definitely changed when it comes to the draw distance.

I especially noticed it while driving on Circuit de la Sarthe. On the Mulsanne Straight I can now spot the corners and other cars way, way before I used to.

It's placebo. Everytime there is a software or hardware update, some people claim they're seeing improvements but it's never the case. This latest update was for the dualsense controller.

agree. Also more pop-in and sharper visuals when focussed. Seems like the foveated rendering implementation has been improved

The 'draw distance' will depend upon everything else going on in the scene at the time, and on the speed you are driving. If there is rain or mist or a full pack of cars ahead of you, or if you are travelling very fast, all this will add to the processing demand and slow the draw response. And vice versa. I'm not saying you're wrong, only that what you've noticed is a long way from a reproducible test.

Nah. There was a software update for the PS5, a firmware update for the controller AND a firmware update for PSVR2.

I also think I see improvements. Wouldn’t bet my life on it, but maybe the announced improvements to reprojection (I believe that was back in January?) were part of this last update.

To me the image seems more solid and I do see less reprojection ghosting.

Who knows. It’s not important either way.

Do you think it could be system optimizations allowing psvr 2 to clean up the double imaging/reprojection issues? I thought the reprojection was better yesterday, then a bit of a double image was back this morning, but I’d been watching ESPN+, and peacock, and they are crashy pita’s. So, reboot, and it cleaned up a bit.

Is it normal to have to create a new play area every time you play another game when not sitting at the wheel?

Yeah. Very annoying.

 

[Kriptical]

Yeah. Very annoying.

I want a multi directional treadmill for that thing so bad. It would fix so many issues overnight. I guess it’s a tough nut to crack as the only one ive seen offered is from a company called omni and its bundled for pc.

Meh…

 

[Abyss1]

I dont mind resetting …played some new games over the weekend. Actually wish the headset cable was a little bit longer

I have it and use it. Two Thumbs Up.

I'd add you still have to remember to restart the app & the headset every now and then. I recommend at least once a day.

Thanks for the reminder. 😅 Finally bought one instead of looking for 10 minutes, getting distracted, and buying three unrelated things, forgetting to buy the cord every single time.

Been playing mainly football manager snd witcher 3 recently.

This morning did the final championship again on gt7.

Gosh what an experience in vr. Once again blown away by the experience. Particularly changing time of day at Mt panorama and Nordschleife... simply epic, mind blowingly good experience.

Experience is best way to describe imo. It's not just another game once you play in vr with a decent wheel setup.

Can't recommend it enough if people have the funds but unsure. It's so good, but I find it difficult to do it justice and articulate properly.

Just get vr2 if you can afford it. Elevates the game to a whole new level imo.

 

[Ohayo]

Yep, agree. It's amazing, I mean even showroom and going around cars. I drove Renault Turbo 5 on Nord at night and wow, that orange dash glowing in your face, those yellow headlights slowly unraveling next turn... Sadly, couldn't play more than 15 minutes (tried pills, started slow and easy, got fan blowing, etc.), so I've send it back :s

I had motion sickness two weeks, after that period it was gone and never came back.

I'm grinding now flat 2d convinient from bed on oled tv and wish this stupid grinding phase were over. Still 38 milions to get... I really hate it, so boring.

 

[BWX]

Testing out that cable for the first time, works perfect as far as I can tell.

I think I do see a slight change in reprojection and clarity on fine print since that FW update too. Could be brain playing tricks on me I guess but it looks good either way.
Reprojection still sucks in general but it's less harsh looking to me now.

Watching replays in VR made me nauseous because of the ghosting when it 1st debuted. I can somewhat watch them now, that made me believe there was an improvement made.

You have the personality where you feel you have to have all cars ASAP then? I do too tbh. Not interested in trophies, platinum at all... never have been, never will be. Not interested in doing tedious stuff in games, to get a trophy that means nothing really. I play games to enjoy my time in them. Not turn it into a chore/too work like. Others mileage no doubt varies though... each to their own of course.


Fortunately, having owned the game since day 1 and hearing about loops/exploits, and subsequently joining discord groups, was able to deploy some scripts and leave it running on my pc overnight via to ps remote to do a lot of the heavy lifting for me. Engine menu exploit after 1 months update (a year later im still selling honda rally cars in used dealership... and those red old amgs ifrom legends dealers, after a script when off piste one night aand bought over 100 of the damn fhings on my behalf ) and before that some oral race exploit using the silly tomahawk.

Don't mean to sound smug, but quite nice being able to play any race regardless of payout, use all kinds of cars etc(although haven't ever touched majority of all the cars since buying them).

Loving my Logitech G Pro wheel, and couldn't wait to try it with my VR2 headset, but something really weird happened today that has not occurred before.

I race GT7 on my PS5 with a VR2 headset. Whilst wearing the headset I pressed the main PS button (just below wheel center) to try and access options out of GT7. Nada.

I turned the PS off, and on again. I turned the wheel on and off again. I disconnected the VR2 cable and reconnected it.

Oddly, when I lifted the headset above my brow, and could see my monitor, the PS button would function normally. IOW, it was only when I lowered the headset to cover my eyes and drive that the conflict occurred.

I WAS able to use the controller's PS button as per normal, but if I want to change tyres at the start of a race (for instance, I wanted to for Le Mans today) I'd want to use the wheel PS button.

Any ideas why it would not be working? Is there a (known) conflict between VR2 and the Logitech G Pro wheel?

I'm using the same wheel and VR2 and never had any issue with the PS button, but I dont understand using this button to change tyres... What it would do is put you on a two different PS menus outside GT7 depending on how you press it, the menu at the bottom screen if you press it briefly or the top screen menu if you press and hold. It wouldn't give you a menu inside GT7.

You are able to change tyres after qualifying through the normal GT7 menu when at the boxes before the race.

Thanks for your help. To clarify my confusing post, I was pressing the PS button and getting NIL response. Not an issue with changing tyres, as you pointed out, but if I want to access the top or bottom screens of the console I'd have no luck at all.

I posted this question on the VR2 thread, and I might have a conflict where I have the DualSense and the wheel assigned to different profiles (according to LOGI_Rich). Don't know how I would have got to this state of affairs, but I will check it out.

Everyone, please disregard, until I do some further tests/investigations that Rich asked me to do.

I am Having an issue. While playing, the camera start to slide behind or on the side like i am moving the head but i am not and all the time i am forced to recenter and re calibrate my position. Is it happening to someone else? Never done before. Just now after this update.

Once or twice, a while ago. Make sure the infrareds are clean, and redo your play area.

Sometimes weird stuff happens. I remember once, around the time it was being a little janky…some knucklehead blasted me so hard it out me out of the car. Online racing glitches can be the most fun.

Also, turn on psvr screen tracking assist through the quick menu, if its not already on.

On the pc side vr have a firm foothold for simracing. Its a total gamechanger.

It is, without doubt, the future. While VR has been out for years, I think this is the first racing game to fully show its potential, and I think it will start to snowball.

I’ve had multiple VR sets over the past decade but I play GT7 in VR more than all other VR games I’ve ever played combined.
