If you have the SLAM or inside out tracking version of the Dream Air, then you will need to use Pimax EVO with Openport and Sboy's driver. If you have the lighthouse version, you shouldn't need EVO and Openport, though you can still just use EVO if you want probably. Since you are using Sboy's driver, which you should probably anyways, you will definitely need SteamVR running because it makes the headset into a SteamVR native headset, that is the point. Also make sure you have SteamVR set as your OpenXR runtime, that is important. When you open the REAL overlay, make sure it reports that you are using OpenXR runtime at the top of the main tab, if auto is not using OpenXR, select OpenXR from the dropdown there. If a game is not starting, it is possible that auto runtime is trying to use Oculus instead of OpenXR. You can go into the RealVR.ini file in the same game folder you put the REAL files in and under the [RVR] section change PreferredAPI2=0 to =2, which should be OpenXR. Or, you can just launch the game without your headset active and bring up the REAL overlay and change it to OpenXR in the dropdown. As far as turning being a laggy mess, what rendering mode are you using? In the main tab of the REAL overlay, look for the rendering mode dropdown. If you are using 1/3 or 1/2, they add in frame interpolation, so you will get artifacts when turning, especially using 1/3. Though 80-90fps seems too high if you are using 1/3. Using 1/2 at 90hz in CD is going to be a tough ask depending on game settings. 1/2 caps at your headset refresh rate, so 90hz would be 90fps but it interpolates 1 extra frame between to get you that 180fps VR target rate. That interpolation is not free of course and has a performance and latency penalty, so be aware of that. It also introduces some artifacts same as frame gen or any motion smoothing, but not bad at all when using 1/2. 1/3 interpolates 2 frames, so it lowers the fps requirement down to 60fps at 90hz, but you still end up with that 180fps feel, however the latency penalty is higher because of that and the artifacts get worse. The "higher quality AER" checkbox should be checked but it exists to make help with the artifacts a bit. You also need to hit the fps cap consistently for either of those modes to function correctly. So, if you are using 1/2 at 90hz, you really need a solid 90fps for it to work as intended. If you are using 1/3 at 90hz, you would need a constant 60fps for it to work as intended. Legacy is basic AER, so it would just cap at your headset refresh rate and alternate eyes. So 90fps using Legacy would be 45fps per eye which is far easier on performance and latency etc. Some people use Mono rendering mode, but that is just the view from one eye, so no Stereo3d. But it looks perfect and there are other depth cues the brain can pick up on, so it still works well for some people. As for hitting your VRAM limit, are you using max settings or do you have other software running in the background? Hopefully that info gives you enough to tinker and get things working better. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

Number one cause for that is frame gen turned on. Make sure HDR and FG are off. If you need to stop REAL from injecting to turn it off, rename dxgi.dll to dxgi_.dll

Do you need to launch from there? I wouldn't think you would have to launch from inside the mod manager. What happens, does the game crash at startup? If so, it could be one of the mods you installed is not updated or working currently.

They already released it last year 😉

What is "Fire Frolicking 15"? Answer is most likely, no and also no. But I can't even find that when I searched for it. Is that a joke name for something?

Latest updates for early access games will always be attached to the "Early Access" post :) There is a link to that post in the post above. I recommend bookmarking it if you are subscribed much. https://www.patreon.com/posts/152734106

You can switch to 1st person in the game naturally while out of combat. It will jump back into 3rd in combat. There are camera mods as well as camera sliders in the game's settings. I'd try the sliders in game first if you want to make adjustments. 3rd is pretty necessary for combat, as you will be fighting large groups of enemies often.

I'm sure Luke will update it but no ETA. I'll break this down super simple if you want to roll back. Open any web browser. Copy and paste steam://open/console Steam will open and show a new CONSOLE tab at the top. In the Steam Console window, copy and paste this exact command, then press Enter: download_depot 3321460 3321461 2936467465032599215 Find the downloaded files (They will of course take time to download) The files are now here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_3321460\depot_3321461z You just drag the files from inside that game folder, into the updated game folder in your Steam library. Make sure you have enough space on your C drive for the game to download.

Yeah, someone else mentioned that it kept trying to open up Debug tool and wouldn't start in VR for CD until they installed the Meta App. Weird.

What he means is, doing extra work to support a game across platforms like Game Pass. Not updating support for them in general. He can't account for settings files being locked in encrypted folders or file names being named differently etc. to support every version on every platform. I think that is fair. Sometimes you can work around that yourself if a folder name is different but with KCD2 for example, it was more complicated than that. Plus, I have had to buy Game Pass multiple times just to test things when I have zero desire to have Game Pass, which is another issue with trying to support every version across platforms.

I am confused 🤔 People can already subscribe to support Luke. That is how it always worked until recently with the big D...... yeah I am just going to leave it like that 😁..... anyways..... things changed after that because people voted to have free (public) and paid (Early Access). So that is where we are now :) If you are saying you want him to drop down to $5, then I don't think he is going to do that. I can't think of any way of having a middle tier that makes sense either.

I mean, you could just change your eye convergence. I do that sometimes when my wife is yelling at me.

What is "Witcher 3"........🙃

I would just ask them directly, so you know what they want for sure. I got banned in all of them 😋 I play through solo anyways though. Here is a quick AI answer. Not sure if it is entirely accurate, so be careful, but just for reference. Main save location for Dark Souls Remastered (Steam/PC): C:\Users\[Your Windows Username]\Documents\NBGI\DARK SOULS REMASTERED\[A long number folder]\DRAKS0005.sl2 The [long number] folder is usually your old Games for Windows Live ID or a Steam-related profile ID — there’s often just one. Steps to fully delete your saves (recommended for the ban lift): Close Dark Souls Remastered completely (and Steam if possible, to avoid sync issues). Navigate to the folder above and delete the entire DARK SOULS REMASTERED folder (or just the DRAKS0005.sl2 file inside the number folder). This removes all characters and progress. Handle Steam Cloud (very important, as it can restore old saves): Right-click Dark Souls Remastered in your Steam library → Properties → General. Uncheck "Keep games saves in the Steam Cloud" (or "Steam Cloud"). This prevents the cloud from re-downloading the banned/tampered save. Optional but safer: Clear any Steam userdata cloud cache Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[Your Steam ID number] Look for the folder with the game’s AppID (570940 for DSR). Delete any files/folders related to saves inside it (remote, etc.), then restart Steam. Launch the game and create a fresh character. Play offline first if needed, then go online once you have a clean save. Extra tips: Back up the save file first (copy DRAKS0005.sl2 somewhere safe) in case you want to restore it later — but don’t use the old one online if it triggered the ban. In-game, you can also delete characters from the Load Game screen (it shows options at the bottom). After deleting, contact the support team that banned you (likely Bandai Namco/FromSoftware) and confirm the clean save — some players report it takes time or a ticket for the lift. This should cover local files and cloud sync. Let me know if the folder path looks different on your PC!480msFast

As I wrote in the post, it's basically a no-go without deep, explicit support from the engine. You need to maintain two full rendering paths with different resolutions, and that's not something most engines do.

RT actually isn't a big performance hit in this game. The DLSS issue is the bigger barrier, because upscaling is very important for performance in games like this.

He is using the lighthouse version I believe.
