not to use alcohol or cleaners
Afaik psvr2 does not have glass lenses.
Alcohol (and cleaners potentially) are a no go for plastic lenses & anti glare coating.
So definitely double check!

Hmm... Yeah I'm wondering if they are glass or not. I thought they were probably poly-carbonate. But I'm not sure. But the Zeiss wipes say they are safe for all glasses and some of those are polycarbonate and also coated. So it's not extremely clear what is safe and not on these PSVR2 lenses.Those are good. I use them, and have used them on very expensive kit, and things were good.
@Lomic only had things go weird like that about 6mo ago. Fully cleaned the front lens’s and rebooted everything and it cleared up.
I just ordered some of the Zeiss cleaners only to realize we have like a 1000 of them in a drawer that we order like a decade ago. Some have dried out thought so it is probably good to bin those and start with a fresh batch.unless specifically intended for cleaning lenses
Well i have a bad feeling about this (VR hud).Aye. It bugs everyone, and makes no sense whatsoever...
I guess just another one of those low-hanging fruit PD oddities.
I was thinking this will be added/fixed immediately, and here we are a year++ after release with no change on this.
:/
Please @ PD, add all options non vr drivers have, or better, make them fully customizable for vr & non vr (and add tire temp & all...).

edit- on sony website it says to use dry cloth only.. except ok to use non cloth if specifically made for lenses, does not say ok to use alcohol or water.

"How to clean PS VR2 lenses
Wipe only with a soft, dry cloth, made specifically for cleaning lenses.
Do not use paper products such as paper towels or tissues unless specifically intended for cleaning lenses. Leaving water droplets or dirt on the lenses may cause deterioration or degradation."
I can use those wet wipes for something else if they will damage coating on PSVR2 lenses over time I guess. I'm just not sure if I want to risk it.
Interesting. I don't wear glasses in the goggles, but it's hard to say if the wet wipes caused it or not.I used the Zeiss lens cloths and noticed the coatings began to come off. This may have be exacerbated by my glasses scuffing the lens too but fortunately my headset was replaced under warranty and I immediately bought some VR Optician lenses.
Yeah that's exactly what I would do, use the wet wipes and go over it with new dry Zeiss microfiber cloth.I think the key point here is:

I've been trying to use microfiber wipes but I am still finding smears in my lenses. The Zeiss claims no alcohol or ammonia so should be okay. I would guess that the trick would be to use the lens cleaning wipe and then do a once over with a clean microfiber cloth to ensure no moisture remains on the lens. The wipe should remove the oils allowing the microfiber to stay cleaner for longer.
Actually, I noticed some coating damage after three weeks with glasses. Now I have RX lens inserts so the wipe would be on that an not the VR lenses. Still those RX inserts were not exactly cheap themselves but it is less of a concern as I'll probably need new lenses every year or two anyway.I used the Zeiss lens cloths and noticed the coatings began to come off.

I just realized that ones I had at home are not lens wipes but screen wipes. Curiously, those ones are alcohol free.But those wet wipes do have alcohol, but also say they are safe for lenses with coatings
Interesting! I don't know, I think I may just keep using the dry microfiber cloths. Just as a precaution.Actually, I noticed some coating damage after three weeks with glasses. Now I have RX lens inserts so the wipe would be on that an not the VR lenses.

Has this issue been discussed at all by PD? I've wondered if any top level competitors have wanted to use PSVR2 in the finals. Is the reason no one uses it that they don't want to, or is it not allowed, have any competitors even asked if they can use it?Normaly you would expect all the world series competitions with a headset on the pilots faces. Which is not the case..
That's a very good question ! Would be nice to hear something about that from the competitors.Has this issue been discussed at all by PD?

nice to hear !Sony, Polyphony Digital and their Gran Turismo "partners" ought to consider getting the GTWS drivers to do several exhibition races during the Grand Final in Amsterdam this year. It's a 3 day event, plenty of time to rack up and connect 16 PSVR2s and let 'em have some fun. They might get some high level feedback and possibly be incentivised to add to the VR interface.
Yeah, this is the main reason why no live esports event has VR available.For the show, its better to see the faces anyway![]()
Some weird replies there for a suggestion.

But it's not insurmountable: they could make stickers to put on them instead of a vast, white expanse. Imagine Valerio Gallo's eyes, three times life-size, on the front of his VR2. Or a sticker of his posed photo, name, brand (in Manufacturers)...
I mean we never see race car drivers faces in real races...Id actually prefer to not see their faces, but thats meYeah, this is the main reason why no live esports event has VR available.

Honestly, I think they're making a bespoke display for VR users and haven't gotten around to it yet. They're just very slow to implement things and don't communicate future plans.They might hold it back intentionally to ensure equity for all drivers in sport mode.
It'd be crazy heavy but I'm sure someone could make a PSVR2 helmet display lol.I mean we never see race car drivers faces in real races...Id actually prefer to not see their faces, but thats me
Yeah, I'd rather not see their faces. I rather not be reminded that the top drivers are a bunch of teenagers and young adults. I'd rather they be behind the mask. That way I can pretend they are a bunch of old dudes which would give me hope!I mean we never see race car drivers faces in real races...Id actually prefer to not see their faces, but thats me
Just grab a used psvr2 at good price, waouh is my first réaction, so much better than the first psvr, on GT7 this huge, so much more details, the sense of scale make all the difference.
So far I loved it
This change completely the way you drive compare to the flat version
No going back now.
I wouldnt stop playing, but Im sure I wouldnt put the amount of hours that I put on GT7 thanks to VR.What if GT8 drop support for psvr? Will we stop playing GT games?
If that happened I would upgrade my PC and switch to full time PC VR probably. Automobilista2 is very sweet in VR. Of course, GT8 is probably another 3 years away at least, as is PS6. Who knows what will happen by then...What if GT8 drop support for psvr? Will we stop playing GT games?
