Just so you know, 100% render scale is the resolution you have to render a game at for the centre of the image to look 1:1 once the barrel distortion is applied to correct for what the lenses do to the panels (the most stretching happens in the center). That’s why the px number is higher than you expect given it’s a 2160p display. I wish people would explain this when they recommend to just turn the resolution down. If you lower this (and of course some people will have to based on their setup) you will not be getting the full intended experience of the headset. Try borrow a G2 before buying one to see what your computer can manage, cos if you can’t render 100% or close to it, you’re not going to be getting the main selling point of the headset, which is its clarity.
cant give you another thumbs up, but a second comment i guess will have too do, keep it up. thanks for everything. never stop updating your old gear content, because its still our top gear for us little guys.
Thank you for this tutorial! I have a question tough. Is it possible to stream VR with the reverb g2 and wmr? Can you please show me where to find information on how to do that?
I wasn't aware of the WMR settings within the Steam VR menu. Turing off Steam's motion smoothing and WMR's Motion Vector fixed my choppy-ness in Elite on my G2, thank you sir! What kind of GPU are you using and what does the "VR Pre Rendered Frames" help with? I have a 3080ti and not sure what that setting does. Afraid to turn in to 3 now that gameplay is mostly smooth...
Glad I could help it will pre-render so should be smoother but will depend on the graphics card, you can try, but if everything is good, no need I guess...
i have an issue my windows mixed reality says it needs an update but there is no update and i saw its getting shut down should i be scared is there any fixes?
Hi, is there a way to disable SteamVR's spectator window? every time I start a game I have to take off my headset and Press Window key+D to minimise it. As when its full screen it reduces my frame rate by almost half. But sometimes While im playing it goes back full screen again. Is there a way to disable that? even better, disable the WMR window too. Thanks
Hi I hope this information helps you. Once you are in steam VR you click on those 3 lines next to the STEAMVR name of the actual small window on your monitor. (the small window that shows your headset and controllers) There will be a drop down menu and in there you untick the Steam VR view. I hope this is helpful. Happy gaming
I fixed the win 11 steam vr issues. I just wanted to share my very recent frustrating experience with using vr games on windows 11. I have a hp reverb G2 and a very powerful brand new gaming Pc with 12th gen i7 cpu and rtx3080 gpu. Benchmarks show this machine is UFO in all categories and should run pretty much every game at full settings without a glitch. However my windows machine ran vr games like a dog. I read lots of posts suggesting that steam vr had become very compromised by windows 11. I had crashes, low performance and hopeless vr experience. I reluctantly decided to take the inconvenience hit and go back to a clean install of windows 10. I can report this has fixed it all and games are running very smoothly at high frame rates and without issues. Really glad I took the hit. And I’ve stopped windows updates so it won’t reinstall Windows 11. Hope this helps some folks out there. Cheers
@@vressentials I wanted to buy this VR but I heard it's not working in win 11. This is so bad so many months after win 11 release or years? and it's still not working?. I was dissapointed with my Rift S and his USB connection issues and when I find out about this VR I wanted to upgrade but now I hear it's not working in win 11 and probably never will same as oculus will never fix rift S usb issues..............
I would like to know how to start my VR gaming in the Steam lobby not the WMR lobby. At your 3:17 time stamp, you state "unclick the third box", but it is different now in Window 11 as of 1/29/23. In fact it looks like the wording is opposite. Could you (or anyone) help me? Thanks
I can get as far as the steam vr room but I can't launch hitman at all. The music plays, and it displays the game start page on my monitor but the cursor is locked in the center of the screen. Then there's no option to quit the game other than ctrl alt delete. I need help.
Have you got a step-by-step guide on what programs to open and in what order? I have Microsoft Flight Simulator (FS2020) Steam version. We tried for hours to get the HP Reverb G2 (v2) up and running but all we got was a blank screen in the headset. Yet, we got what should have been in the headset, displayed on my monitor. So something isn't sending to the VR headset! I have a Ryzen 9 CPU, 64GB RAM, AMD Radeon RX 6900XT Graphics Card. The whole thing should fly, but doesn't :-(
Anyone else have an issue with the VR Wave? I received the lens for oculus and the prescription was wrong. Then VR Wave just stopped all communication. Due to yours and MRTVs recommendation I bought through VR Wave, sense then nothing but a problem. 160 USD and they won't fix or replace the lenses.
@@vressentials thank you. Butvits been handled. I called them and someone made a clerical error along with the faulty website I was on.

Nice vid...Is there any simple reasons why some games will try to launch in SteamVr but fail? I returned Everest VR when it did not launch but now the The Gallery episode 1 and 2 try to launch than take me back to the Steam room....All updates done....Alder Lake PC with an RTX 3080 (34" Ultrawide screen)...Not much info on Reverb out there. At this point I wish I had bought the index. Google Earth works fine and into the blu and another peru and Rome type game work.
How do we fix HP controller issues? Walking dead, for example, shows a different controller than the HP and when I launch Star Wars Pinball, the controllers don't work at all. I have tried loading custom bindings in star wars but there aren't any?
I need some help. I'm quitting FB. Im thinking of getting this thing. Is it really 4k? 2160p? I'm hoping I can run Dolphin VR. Skyrim VR, and other games. Can I remove the built in speakers and add my own headphones and mic? I heard the resolution and FOV is really good. I have an i7 6700 and a GTX 1660 Super and 32GB Max ram. Hope thisll run the headset. I wanna get back into Zenith. Or do I save for the Vive Pro 2 Headset? I'm using that as a back up. Idk how good the field of view is due to me having bad eye sight. Etc. I need something comfortable that'll fit my head plus it's small. :( Don't know if it's adjustable or not.
You seem like the guy to ask: on Rift S does Oculus debug ss settings apply to steam vr games or only Oculus app? Basically is debug super sampling global? From what i understand i should set resolution locked at 100% in steam and then on debug set ss to 1.2-1.5. Is this correct?
Not sure I would recommend making a NVME drive your Steam Library directory. That’s a lot of expensive storage that is going to fill fast. Much better to have your C: drive or system disk as your NVME drive as your PC and games/simulations are always accessing the system swap file. Much better to have your Steam library on an SSD which will improve initial load times dramatically without the relative high cost.
One question. Hope you can help. My controllers doesn´t work in steam vr. Only work fine in the portal but when i switch to steam vr they are not there. Some ideas?
The same thing happened to me, I reinstalled everything, I did a clean installation of windows 11, it started to work and suddenly the controls disappeared, so finally, I reinstalled windows 10... so far it's perfect, the only program I haven't installed and that I had in windows 11 is the bitdefender antivirus. Sorry for google translate.
Why would you want to disable hardware accelerated GPU scheduling? That option helps to offload work on the CPU to the GPU because more often than none, the CPU is bottle-necked by the GPU. I would 100% recommend keeping that option enabled for better performance. I also have the Reverb G2, my PC specs are Ryzen 7 5800x3D and MSI RTX 3060 12 GB, using x570 board with 32 GB of gskill trident-z neo 3600 mhz ram.
@@vressentials please, provide me with an example of at least 1 game that doesn't benefit from this feature, lol. The only time I would recommend this option to be disabled is if you are GPU bottle-necked - meaning your GPU is worse than your CPU (this is hardly EVER the case, but it can happen)
@@chaoswatcher2215 Skyrim vr, with it on crashes every couple minutes, windows 11. Soon as I turned it off game was much more stable. Wabbajack modded.
@@TheKeyMaker Well, one problem is using an operating system that has numerous bugs that haven't been ironed out yet, I don't know why anyone would be gaming on windows 11 to begin with lol
Why it does not ask you to set up the room when you launch SteamVR? In my case it is stuck there and won't let me go forward because it require you to set up the room and of course, SteamVR can't see the Reverb G2
yo someone help me out, how do i not use bloody windows mixed reality, its so bloody pointless i cant stand microsoft I just want to use steam VR on its own, any way i can do that? i have the old g2, before they made it possible to remove just the soft cover on the eye plate thing, so not sure if that makes a difference, it shouldn't, this is all software, certainly it is possible to run it without mixed reality
This is a great tutorial thanks. I would love it even better if there were a written version, not just video. I may just have to make my own :-). Your settings really improved my experience with a new GPU and my Reverb G2! went from "oh, this high-end GPU is not what it's cracked up to be," to "WOW this is amazing." Mostly it's that darned supersampling or resolution or whatever Steam is calling it this week, but I'm sure all the other settings are helping. One question I have is how I can set SteamVR up for 2 different headsets with different specs. I use both a Quest 2 and a G2, switching back and forth depending on whether I want tethered or untethered gaming. Now I have everything optimised for G2, will this hurt my Q2 performance as the Q2 has less native rez?
Use GeForce Experience to set resolution for each game manually. If you then stick to game A for Quest and game B for Reverb, you shouldn’t have to switch settings after switching games. Other than closing windows mixed reality to free up RAM (also consider disabling Steam Home environment)
Looking for anyone who can help. My reverb g2 is disconnecting my pc from the internet every time I turn it on. Let me give you some background. I had the Reverb G2 and loved it. But I wanted to go outside and play a archery game called In Death. So I bought the Oculus 2 and connected it to my computer and played for 2 days before I decided I didn't like some of the things about the Oculus. So I uninstalled it, reinstalled my Reverb and now when I start up WMR, my computer gets kicked from my wifi connection. I live in a motorhome and travel full time. And over the 6 months with the Reverb I never had this issue. Now my jet pack has two settings, one is 5.0 Ghz and the other is 2.4 Ghz and it WILL work on the 2.4 but not the 5.0. The problem with the 2.4 is I can't play and sim racing games with it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated from anyone who knows what might be causing this.
I see you still have the wrong concept of resolution in the G2. You're not supposed to dial it back to "match the headset resolution", you have to take into consideration the curvature aspect of the lenses so the recommendation from HP is to actually leave the SteamVR multiplier setting to 100% to use the full pixel potential of the headset.
Hello. I need some help with Reverb G2 (or Windows MR). I have two displays (1 and 2) connected to my computer, and when I connect the HMD, the virtual display that is recognized takes some software windows with it. I have two displays (1,2) connected to my computer, but when I connect the HMD, three additional virtual displays (3,4,5) are recognized. Some software windows (e.g. Minecraft launcher) are pulled to one of them, and I can't even bring them to the display I'm using, and the only way to fix it is to disconnect the HMD or close the Windows MR app. Does anyone else have the same problem or know how to fix it?
I never had this issue with 2 displays + my HMD...but maybe just unplug s display and see how it runs, other wise go into your display settings and configure accordingly.
dear @VR Essential, i use to follow you but, after a ton of graphic setup on Reverb G2, i'm pretty sure that 90Hz/fps is not the real effective target for this VR, impossible to manage stable on almost all the game in Steam. CPU is not bottleneck (5600x) because over FullHD CPU don't do so much and latency on this is almost 6ms all the times. Is the GPU always the problem (i've 3090 and 3080ti) even on the 3090 u can really push so far. I've tried almost everything from Steam 50 to 2500%. The better window to me is between 200-250 to get clarity all around. Any suggestion ? Thanks in advance
@@robertweekes5783 i use to match 4800px each side on Steam SS, that because i'll hit 60ppd and this match more my eyes for a clear wiev. we are far away from human eye resolution.
Any idea as to why my g2 seems to have vsync stuck on no matter what settings I set in game and outside of the game...for all games. On monitor I easily get 100-200 depending on the game.
No reason to render more fps than the headset can produce, except for benchmarking/ thermal testing… But the Nvidia control panel settings can be limiting it - check max frame rate, Vsync, VR pre-rendered frames
I use 75% render resolution for all my games with a 3080rtx on my g-2. Ran at 50% with a 2080rtx fyi. Quest 2 runs at 100% and my Odyssey + works on auto.
@@dmacell4110 you must have a problem with your settings. With an rtx 3080 + amd 5600x + 32gb of memory, i can play the games below at 126% (3400 px)of render scale in steam, locked at 90fps , without aws, without stuterring. -skyrim VR -Assetto corsa competizione -automobilista 2 -half life alyx -pavlov - and few others
@@sebastieng.3155 weird because i was just able to set it to 100% and it ran fine. It still wont work on auto but thats a waay higher resolution! thanks. Im not sure what has changed but its seems stable so far.
This video doesn't explain anything other than what every single person on the planet with Mixed Reality Headsets has already done ages ago. Not sure what changed in "2022". Also, your nvidia control panel settings demonstrate an absolute lack of how nvidia applies driver settings via the various options so ya - I don't know man - this was pretty disappointing.
I find certain scenes demand it more than others in monitoring its little colored square indicators; green for off, blue for on, and red for failure... does 'motion vector' still turn off upon reaching 60fps as 'auto' would? 🤔
if I turn down my super sampling in steamVR I usually get smooth gameplay otherwise blue of black screen...the Motion Vector is app dependant so some need it, some dont...
I would appreciate a deeper analysis dive into exploring all the various applications' sampling rates' resolutions and vector reprojection interactivity against one another for a performance draw comparison. 🙏
You hopping from OS to steam Vr and than..... bla, bla is not systematic, it is far to fast, and leaves a newby totally confused. I suggest you make a planing for your vids and do it in a systemätic fashion, that users can follow. 1. OS 2. MS settings 3. STeam VR..................... Sorry man this is a mess

One question. Hope you can help. My controllers doesn´t work in steam vr. Only work fine in the portal but when i switch to steam vr they are not there. Some ideas?
It’s software related - anything u installed lately that’s new in ur PC? Get rid of it
The same thing happened to me, I reinstalled everything, I did a clean installation of windows 11, it started to work and suddenly the controls disappeared, so finally, I reinstalled windows 10... so far it's perfect, the only program I haven't installed and that I had in windows 11 is the bitdefender antivirus. Sorry for google translate.
@@vressentials the steam vr update is new. I read that it is not easy to downgrade. So I have not tried it
Why would you want to disable hardware accelerated GPU scheduling? That option helps to offload work on the CPU to the GPU because more often than none, the CPU is bottle-necked by the GPU. I would 100% recommend keeping that option enabled for better performance. I also have the Reverb G2, my PC specs are Ryzen 7 5800x3D and MSI RTX 3060 12 GB, using x570 board with 32 GB of gskill trident-z neo 3600 mhz ram.
Cause it bugs sum games
@@vressentials please, provide me with an example of at least 1 game that doesn't benefit from this feature, lol. The only time I would recommend this option to be disabled is if you are GPU bottle-necked - meaning your GPU is worse than your CPU (this is hardly EVER the case, but it can happen)
@@chaoswatcher2215 DCS - I set this on to “improve” performance and all I got were BSODs. As soon as I turned it off I was back in business.
@@chaoswatcher2215 Skyrim vr, with it on crashes every couple minutes, windows 11. Soon as I turned it off game was much more stable. Wabbajack modded.
@@TheKeyMaker Well, one problem is using an operating system that has numerous bugs that haven't been ironed out yet, I don't know why anyone would be gaming on windows 11 to begin with lol
Nice one for this video, just subbed ;)
Thanks so much
Why it does not ask you to set up the room when you launch SteamVR? In my case it is stuck there and won't let me go forward because it require you to set up the room and of course, SteamVR can't see the Reverb G2
hmmm not sure...I don't need to do that
That is done through WMR during initial setup but you don't have to set a play space. It just gives you the option if you want it.

Lol 😂
Are these settings only for Windows 10? They don't appear to match up with Windows 11 and the associated Mixed Reality Portal settings.
Ah yes possible-will do update win 11 vid in future when it’s a little more secure
you using this in win 11?
yo someone help me out, how do i not use bloody windows mixed reality, its so bloody pointless i cant stand microsoft I just want to use steam VR on its own, any way i can do that? i have the old g2, before they made it possible to remove just the soft cover on the eye plate thing, so not sure if that makes a difference, it shouldn't, this is all software, certainly it is possible to run it without mixed reality
I have no issues sorry u have problems
Your resolution at 100% its 2716x2656??.... For me its near to 3100x3100
Yea it depends on ur system
This is a great tutorial thanks. I would love it even better if there were a written version, not just video. I may just have to make my own :-). Your settings really improved my experience with a new GPU and my Reverb G2! went from "oh, this high-end GPU is not what it's cracked up to be," to "WOW this is amazing." Mostly it's that darned supersampling or resolution or whatever Steam is calling it this week, but I'm sure all the other settings are helping. One question I have is how I can set SteamVR up for 2 different headsets with different specs. I use both a Quest 2 and a G2, switching back and forth depending on whether I want tethered or untethered gaming. Now I have everything optimised for G2, will this hurt my Q2 performance as the Q2 has less native rez?
Cool
Use GeForce Experience to set resolution for each game manually. If you then stick to game A for Quest and game B for Reverb, you shouldn’t have to switch settings after switching games. Other than closing windows mixed reality to free up RAM (also consider disabling Steam Home environment)
Looking for anyone who can help. My reverb g2 is disconnecting my pc from the internet every time I turn it on. Let me give you some background. I had the Reverb G2 and loved it. But I wanted to go outside and play a archery game called In Death. So I bought the Oculus 2 and connected it to my computer and played for 2 days before I decided I didn't like some of the things about the Oculus. So I uninstalled it, reinstalled my Reverb and now when I start up WMR, my computer gets kicked from my wifi connection. I live in a motorhome and travel full time. And over the 6 months with the Reverb I never had this issue. Now my jet pack has two settings, one is 5.0 Ghz and the other is 2.4 Ghz and it WILL work on the 2.4 but not the 5.0. The problem with the 2.4 is I can't play and sim racing games with it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated from anyone who knows what might be causing this.
Thank you for this! Watching now
You are so welcome!
@@vressentials aw thanks friend, you too!
I see you still have the wrong concept of resolution in the G2. You're not supposed to dial it back to "match the headset resolution", you have to take into consideration the curvature aspect of the lenses so the recommendation from HP is to actually leave the SteamVR multiplier setting to 100% to use the full pixel potential of the headset.
It’s not a concept it’s pure gameplay…if ur pc lags u go there and change it it’s simple…or tweak in game if have the ability to do it…
Hello.
I need some help with Reverb G2 (or Windows MR).
I have two displays (1 and 2) connected to my computer, and when I connect the HMD, the virtual display that is recognized takes some software windows with it. I have two displays (1,2) connected to my computer, but when I connect the HMD, three additional virtual displays (3,4,5) are recognized. Some software windows (e.g. Minecraft launcher) are pulled to one of them, and I can't even bring them to the display I'm using, and the only way to fix it is to disconnect the HMD or close the Windows MR app.
Does anyone else have the same problem or know how to fix it?
I never had this issue with 2 displays + my HMD...but maybe just unplug s display and see how it runs, other wise go into your display settings and configure accordingly.
Yes you have to go into your registry to disable 3, 4, & 5. There's a RUclips video that shows how to do it. It's really easy 👍
great help thx so much
Any time
dear @VR Essential, i use to follow you but, after a ton of graphic setup on Reverb G2, i'm pretty sure that 90Hz/fps is not the real effective target for this VR, impossible to manage stable on almost all the game in Steam. CPU is not bottleneck (5600x) because over FullHD CPU don't do so much and latency on this is almost 6ms all the times. Is the GPU always the problem (i've 3090 and 3080ti) even on the 3090 u can really push so far. I've tried almost everything from Steam 50 to 2500%. The better window to me is between 200-250 to get clarity all around. Any suggestion ? Thanks in advance
With supersampling (over 100%) you’re definitely taking a frame rate hit. Up to your preference & playtesting
@@robertweekes5783 i use to match 4800px each side on Steam SS, that because i'll hit 60ppd and this match more my eyes for a clear wiev. we are far away from human eye resolution.
Any idea as to why my g2 seems to have vsync stuck on no matter what settings I set in game and outside of the game...for all games. On monitor I easily get 100-200 depending on the game.
Sorry no idea...maybe its a graphics card driver...thing..
No reason to render more fps than the headset can produce, except for benchmarking/ thermal testing… But the Nvidia control panel settings can be limiting it - check max frame rate, Vsync, VR pre-rendered frames
Very good information.
Glad it was helpful!
Should probly enable Threaded optimization, to take advantage of multicore CPU
Hi thanks for watching, it created issues at the time of recording.
Thks brother... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Welcome
Awsome thanks a lots!
I will try it on project cars 2 rigth away
(Rtx 2060 super . . Really laggy and pixelated. . ) 🥺
Most welcome
I have steam...I have steam VR...I have windows mixed reality and steam vr cant find my G2.... I dont get it...The oculus was more user friendly.....
Uninstall SteamVR make sure u remove folder from your AppData then reinstall. Happy holidays 😃
If you're still wanting a Reverb, man are they going cheap on ebay these days! You can pick one up for 200-300$, I paid 225$!
Latest nvidia driver update now suggests putting HAGS on
I will test appreciate-your comment- if any changes I’ll update the video 🤗
@@vressentials To be honest I can’t see any difference
Wow you confused me in the beginning because you say Unable, which is not correct, Unable = Turn off (Able = Turn On) But otherwise fine video.
Enable lol 😂
I use 75% render resolution for all my games with a 3080rtx on my g-2. Ran at 50% with a 2080rtx fyi.
Quest 2 runs at 100% and my Odyssey + works on auto.
Thanks for sharing
An rtx 3080 is capable to run at 100% render resolution with all VR games also at 125%...with the reverb g2.
@@sebastieng.3155 Not once steam upscales it for barrel distortion.
@@dmacell4110 you must have a problem with your settings.
With an rtx 3080 + amd 5600x + 32gb of memory, i can play the games below at 126% (3400 px)of render scale in steam, locked at 90fps , without aws, without stuterring.

@@sebastieng.3155 weird because i was just able to set it to 100% and it ran fine. It still wont work on auto but thats a waay higher resolution! thanks. Im not sure what has changed but its seems stable so far.
my headset did not work and i have a win 11
Win 11 works on my g8 fury AMD Radeon Pro laptop + g2
This video doesn't explain anything other than what every single person on the planet with Mixed Reality Headsets has already done ages ago. Not sure what changed in "2022". Also, your nvidia control panel settings demonstrate an absolute lack of how nvidia applies driver settings via the various options so ya - I don't know man - this was pretty disappointing.
I’ll answer you in the next video cheers 👍
16:43 This is where I gotta pay attention 🤓
Considering we both run an RTX-2070S, one of which more thermally confined in a laptop chassis lol
I have had vector reprojection on auto all along 😯
I find certain scenes demand it more than others in monitoring its little colored square indicators; green for off, blue for on, and red for failure... does 'motion vector' still turn off upon reaching 60fps as 'auto' would? 🤔
if I turn down my super sampling in steamVR I usually get smooth gameplay otherwise blue of black screen...the Motion Vector is app dependant so some need it, some dont...
Now is this@@vressentialswith you dipping even lower than that 2204×2152 for any applications on your setup?
I would appreciate a deeper analysis dive into exploring all the various applications' sampling rates' resolutions and vector reprojection interactivity against one another for a performance draw comparison. 🙏
9:57 operation lovecraft?
my man
Yea video here about it ruclips.net/video/q2fFNt1kBGU/видео.html
Nice
Thanks
You hopping from OS to steam Vr and than..... bla, bla is not systematic, it is far to fast, and leaves a newby totally confused. I suggest you make a planing for your vids and do it in a systemätic fashion, that users can follow.
1. OS
2. MS settings
3. STeam VR.....................
Sorry man this is a mess
👏👏🤘

Video way going wel...l then he lost all credibility when he said he deleted Xbox game pass like it was nothing LMFAO 🤣🤣....👎
