AMS working in VR

mr_belowski · Dec 3, 2020

Hi folks,

If anyone's still waiting for AMS 1 to work in VR, a couple of the Crew Chief team members have managed to work their magic. There's a thread about it on the Reiza forums. The implementation should be considered a beta with the usual caveats but I think it works brilliantly

I cant not replicate the freezes so you will have to live with that for now.

when i ran with high levels of anti-aliasing I encountered a couple of brief pauses. Setting it back to 4xMSAA only in the config app fixed that. Maybe try lowering your settings

new update not working for me on the odyssey t ,i have audio for the game but black screen,my mistake didn't realise you had to put 1 in the CrewChiefVR.ini (1 = on, 0 = off ,i thought you just used the keypad .
Anyway video seems to be less choppy now picture quality is quite reasonable ,but i am still getting the random freezes

Try deleting d3d9_2.dll from AMS root folder . fixed it for me.
In the past there was also people that had stutter and freezes with in game Time progression set to anything but off.
I have it on with 2X but have deleted the d3d9_2.dll and have a very smooth running sim on less than stellar HW.

Are you racing on TV or monitor - just asking as I used to have major stutters with AMS and Assetto and it turned out be my Philips 4K TV setting which had a known problem which Philips would never admit to - but was real and was there but there's a community fix

Stadium Super Trucks @ Cordoba! struggle around all the right handers just to do turns 4,5,6. Lift the front left under acceleration, not too much, keep it down. A blast from the past.

should have updated my post earlier but i am still getting random 2 to 3 second freezes

Bjarne Hansen · Dec 18, 2020

on the Riza forum there are a new update they think fixes the issue.
I have nor had the freeze issue since deleting the d3d9_2.dll but understand that doesn't fixed it for all.
Also recall some people had the freeze problem on monitor back some years ago.

mr_belowski · Dec 18, 2020

it's early days but the initial feedback from the latest version (updated 18th December, same download location) is good - the freezes are gone and the performance has improved

Noel Spence · Dec 18, 2020

i think you and your mates have fixed it mr belowski ,cheers for the hardwork

BazzaLB · Dec 21, 2020

I was having Freeze issues and the latest version has definitely eliminated them for me. Great Job.

I can't get this to work with my hp reverb. I've unzipped the folder into the AMS folder, changed everything in AMS, made a desktop shortcut, set the command in crewchiefvr.ini to 1 and tried several times with no success.

Closest was getting a vr view on screen once I'd got into the car.
