hi all, prob was answered before but can't find it : how to solve black flickering in VR when sunblinding turns on?

(I'm using PP filter "pure", Oculus rendering mode, CSP 0.2.5-preview1 , Weather Pure Gamma)

I played w most settings in Pure Config, regarding sunblinding , but can't get rid of the black flickering...

@Peter Boese must know that one

If you deactivate the sunblinding shader this black flickering is solved?

Can this be reuploaded?

I am sorry, it's lost...

 

[Elio92]

Hi !

Just for your information, I don't think RSS missed you by mail... as me.



I tested it last night on Okayama (Aida) and It's fun.
No complication with a lot of options which could puzzle your mind but... It's not a sophisticated car.

Cheers.

Guys if someone knows how to work with the "bakeryoptix" and can help me (S.M.me)
I'm trying to make vao-patch for the R32 jtcc but the result is too dark




without vao

with vao

 

[marc magnela]

bakeryoptix

have you created a COCKPIT_HR with all the interior elements? bakeryoptix handles the interior differently if this is done.

 

[StoffelWaffle]

That would probably explain why I don't see the problem. I'm still using CSP 0.1.80preview9 (anything newer than that introduces these weird micro stutters on my system). Could be a bug only introduced in CSP 0.2 and above. I'll have to temporarily install a newer version and see if I can reproduce what others are seeing.

Glad to see I ain't the only one affected by random micro stutters that only affects AC.

CSP is both a gift and a curse lmao

yes of course

yes , that is a workaround , but I'd like to have the sunblinding effect (minus the black flicker ofcourse)

I got rid of the stuttering by deleting (renaming) the extension folder and set up CSP newly. Maybe you or racingjoe can try this too.

I'll keep that in mind ! Retrograded to 0.2.4 and no stuttering and gained back the 40 FPS previewnumberwhatver stole from me lol.

I can only say, everything is fixed in the upcoming Pure LCS.

I decided to have a different strategy for Pure LCS than in Pure Gamma.
Like for the sunblinding shader i found a much more efficient code to determine the appearance of the sun in the camera. So the shader does actually have nearly no influence on CPU and GPU. Also i decided that it doesn't produce extra graphics, it just controls postprocessing parameters in the Pure ppfilter scripts.
Also it is now compatible with the VR SPS mode, which give many fps back.

All of Pure's shaders (sunblinding, landscape, groundfog and lightning) are compatible with the VR SPS mode then!

My strategy for Pure LCS is: "use the simplest and the most effective way to produce a nice look".

So it already has less CPU and GPU consumption than Pure Gamma and even less than default wfx.
All the troubles with the shaders in Pure Gamma are fixed in Pure LCS. I will release it early September.

Here you see a comparison of the 3 weather styles and their fps:


Also you see the CPU and GPU usage is smoother in Pure LCS due to a better computing sequence of the different parts.

 

[jac0]

After many bugfixes and many settings related changes, maybe its a try to reset your CSP settings to defaults.
Could be there is just one little settings which causes this bug, but the setting was wrong in the first place but it didn't cause the bug.
Just do this:
Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later.

hi Peter,

I tried this rename extension folder trick , and the black flickering is gone now!

any improvements always greatly appreciated, but as it is it's already one of the best looking and best optimized racing sims in VR
(hopefully in September it will even surpass AMS2)

So thanks for all your wonderfull efforts in making AC so great for all of us!


EDIT: an additional question, now the sun-blinding thing is OK, but I have the following:
with wind, the grass sways only in 1 eye (left) and in the other eye the grass stays completely still (giving a weird effect in VR as you can imagine).
Any idea?

nope because of animated suspensions

By "early september" you mean september 1st right?? 🥸

Thanks. Do you know what it does. Should I have it active as I play in VR. Cheers.

Hi,

One thing that I noticed is that Pure config and planner buttons on the right app bar are only available with pure Gamma. When I Switch to Pure LCS those buttons disappear.

Single Pass Stereo: is it worth it?

This is the first part of a three series posts regarding Single Pass Stereo (SPS). They were written in order to provide more information of how Single Pass Stereo works and raise awareness about i…

Its about how things are rendered in VR. SPS is less taxing on CPU and GPU.
Multi Pass rendering will render the scene to two different images, which are displayed separately for each eye. Single Pass Stereo rendering combines both images into a single double-width render texture, where only the relevant half is displayed to each eye.

Hi,

I noticed that the Pure Config and Pure Planner buttons on the side app bar only appear with pure Gamma. They don`t appear with Pure LCS.

 

[chas1723]

i think i found it!

View attachment 1379622

If i deactivate this, it works like it should. It seems this overides the dig. flags.
But i did not test it enough to be sure.

look at the value_0...it will be white with those settings

 

[Bewoss]

Hi,
Lately the AI have behaved VERY horribly in races. Every other race random cars on the grid stay still, some start doing burnout and even durind the race the AI have been doing some erratic things. Is that happening with anyone else?What is it?Is there a way to fix?Tks

Im not a PC VR user. I have PSVR1 headset, considering giving it a try with AC on PC though.

Seems your black flicker problem was caused by wrong settings in graphics adjustments - far planes. If there are wrong settings like the wrong settings distributed by the Shutoko team, objects in the distance are rendered wrong, so the sun.
