Rennsport VR 6 FPS and Game Crash

Last week Rennsport came out with an update, and what stood out the most for me was the VR implication.

Awesome!

I'm all in on VR, and I will share my experience with you.

I had to add -VR to the game launcher in Epic Game Launcher, and it would start the game in VR.

6 FPS and a game crash.

I had to lower the graphics in-game by 50%, putting everything on normal.

40 FPS and a game crash after 2 minutes.

Again, I lowered the graphics to LOW on everything and 25% resolution scale.

80 FPS and a game crash after another 2 minutes.

Although there are menus and options to tweak the VR experience, my experience is that I could NOT get it started and working. The game just crashes every time.

I did a few laps on the flat screen, and I just love Road Atlanta, but that is pretty much it. The FFB feels good, but there is nothing to change on setup or whatever—the game is just not finished.

Then LMU (Le Mans Ultimate) in VR: I would say they've done this a lot better than Rennsport, although you need to mess with the directory files to get it working.

Here is how i set it up:

The graphics optimization is a lot better than in ACC, and I expect you can do LMU in VR with a lower GPU than what I'm running (4090).

As for driving in LMU, somehow the FFB is better than in ACC, but for a lot of different awareness parameters, it feels like there is a big disconnect in what the car is doing and going to do. You get surprised by lockups, oversteer, and understeer. It's like gambling in a way.

Also, the limited number of tracks is my biggest concern for the game and the active player base. Obviously, this game also isn’t finished.

I'm a massive fan of GT3 cars for already multiple years. When I was still on console, I was always driving GT3s in Forza 2, 5, and 7. When I got to PC in AC, I was always drawn to GT3 cars.

I love the sound, the behavior, the amount of power, and the downforce they have. Maybe the gear shifts are what I like the most—a bit weird maybe, but that's how I feel.

For GT3 cars, I think all the other sims are miles behind Assetto Corsa Competizione.

But I do have a massive interest in LMP2 and hypercars, so I hope that LMU or Rennsport will come up with a good sim for those cars.

Or Assetto Corsa EVO will maybe deliver on this. We'll see.
