Automobilista 2

Nice wheel! I have access to a Simcube 2 pro just around the corner. At the moment i´m still using my Thrustmaster T-500 RS until i saved some money for the Simcube 2.

I had the T-300 before, it was also nice, but the Fanatec is definitely an upgrade worth it :-). The Simcube is a bit over my budget after all the VR Upgrades.

Anyone tried AM2 in Oculus mode on his pimax so far?

MReis · July 2, 2020, 8:19pm

Ok, you got me - drives really nice - still need to get used to the setting and cars, but there is enough to have lots of fun. Some cool tracks that are coming, cant wait for the Nürburgring to appear, especially the if they add the nord schleife

mr.uu · July 2, 2020, 8:23pm

Yep. Missing it. Good that i bought the deluxe version with season pass. Coming soon!

You mean running it with the steam_appid file with 1066890 inserted and placed in in the Automobilista 2 folder ?
I did try it but could not turn off PP - maybe I missed something.

Edit: I found this and tried it (except the oculus libs, since i have it installed), but nothing happens:

Pitool 1.0.1.258 and steam activated games DR2, PC2 and AMS2 launch in oculus mode, how?

=> I got it finally working… with DR2 at least… There were lot’s of things to be exactly correct before it started to work. Here is the list of all required things in my case:

Install/modify these into DR2 game folder:

Lib_OVRRT32_1-.dll and Lib_OVRRT64_1.dll (or alternatively install Oculus SW ?)

steam_appid.txt with following text: 690790/othervr

Create shortcut (Desktop => New => create shortcut) that contains the following line:

“ Pitool app location \Pimax\Plugin\OCSupport\OVR_Launcher_x64.exe” DR2 game folder \DiRT Rally 2.0\dirtrally2.exe -useoculussdk

in my case the actual, correct line was this:

“C:\Program Files\Pimax\Plugin\OCSupport\OVR_Launcher_x64.exe” H:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT Rally 2.0\dirtrally2.exe -useoculussdk
3) Pitool up and running
4) Steam app should be up and running ! (this was missing when I did these tests earlier)

… I found this shortcut command line proposal earlier but I think some of these 1) and 4) topics were missing at that time…

=> Next I will test if this same works with PC2 and AMS2 as well (with different paths and steam_appid.txt codes of course…)

EDIT: It WORKED! - must have made a mistake
I just used the link directly and it works
“C:\Program Files\Pimax\Plugin\OCSupport\OVR_Launcher_x64.exe” J:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Automobilista 2\AMS2.exe -useoculussdk

what link do you mean? i have maked the steam_appid txt whit 1066890. is this -useoculussdk in start launch?

godiz · July 2, 2020, 9:19pm

do i need this files to Lib_OVRRT32_1-.dll and Lib_OVRRT64_1.dll_

MReis · July 2, 2020, 9:38pm

I created the steam_appid.txt in the automobilista 2 folder with 1066890/othervr as text in it.

I made a link in the automobilista 2 folder named AMS2Oculus (name it what you like)
Edit the Path of the link to what @MarkkuE said in my case “C:\Program Files\Pimax\Plugin\OCSupport\OVR_Launcher_x64.exe” J:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Automobilista 2\AMS2.exe -useoculussdk

Double Klick the new link

I am not sure if that is all needed, I guess it works without the appid file? With that I do get Oculus Mode in Steam, but it starts in Steam VR none the less, even if i select it and PP is needed.

xHDGx · July 2, 2020, 9:42pm

told you

MReis · July 2, 2020, 9:43pm

Yes you did
Edit: The Profile is also very nice! Thanks, it helps a lot!

godiz · July 2, 2020, 10:16pm

MReis · July 3, 2020, 6:03am

Is that correct that you also have it on drive J?

godiz · July 3, 2020, 11:55am

no, i changed this to c:/

MReis · July 3, 2020, 12:19pm

Have you tried to set it all in quotes instead of ending after the first part? Then change it again once it’s created

godiz · July 3, 2020, 12:56pm

i get it to work now . thx

but i struggle whit pitool 1.0 to get 90hz 2080ti 8700k 32g 3600mhz

DrWilken · July 3, 2020, 2:00pm

Are You still trying to use 400% SS?

https://community.openmr.ai/t/assetto-corsa-competizione-settings-help/29042/2?u=drwilken

Just an FYI. I use PiTool quality 1.0, SteamVR supersampling 100% (in any game) and tweak in-game settings as high as possible.

9900K/2080Ti/4000MHz RAM.

godiz · July 3, 2020, 11:43pm

i use pitool 1.0 in steam vr is 500% pixel 2500*something and use ingame vr pixel 150 % resulotion 100% i use smart smoothing, so my fps i stable at 45fps 15 ms

acc btw

8k+ 2080ti 8700k 5 ghz 32 g ram 3600mhz ssd 970 samsung

MikeJeffries · July 4, 2020, 2:34am

Again i see your settings are now 500% steamVR SS. You’re obviously doing it completely wrong. Leave it at 100%. If you have a 2080Ti maybe you can push higher. even with my specs i dont do over 120% normally. Iracing is my highest at 140% SteamVR SS

I Dont like motion smoothing either. I keep it off

DrWilken · July 4, 2020, 4:37am

Again. You’re not running 500% supersampling since You’re being limited by maxRecommendedResolution in SteamVR (default is 4096).

No GPU could handle those settings if they were indeed in effect.

https://community.openmr.ai/t/maxrecommendedresolution-where-to-set/26682/8

If that limit was not there You would be trying to render a resolution that’s approximately 7,5 times bigger than the resolution being sent to the headset.

Something like 19170*10800 (it’s actually slightly more in reality).

Trust me, that’s not happening anytime soon… At least not with a frame rate anywhere near acceptable…
