Hi

i have installed the patch U18, but i have no luck to run LFS in VR at all. When steamvr launches, LFS crashes instantly when i click on 3D / OpenVR, and i'm in window mode running 1920x1080

what i'm doing wrong?

TIA

Hello, no problem with my Pimax (5K Super, U21 tested).
Here are my setting if it can help (@Scawen, LFS works very good on a Pimax )

Thanks for the information.

I see you have FFR disabled (Close). If you enable FFR, does LFS crash when you enter VR?

It doesn't work, neither in 21 nor in 13 (direct crash)

and no interestning lines (I think...) in deb.log or openvr.log

Thanks for the test. I hope this can solve the problem for B0mberMan.

But I would really like to know if this is a bug in the Pimax system (so Pimax developers should fix it) or if LFS is doing something wrong or could somehow detect and avoid FFR.

If I can help to test something, say me how...

it seem it worked! i have set the FFR to "close" (disabled) for steamVR settings in the pitool

at first launch that stupid annoying steamvr dashboard got in the way i couldn't get rid of it, it was interfering. i had to close and quit everything, then i launched again in the following order:

1) launch "steamVR" from pitool with the recommended settings
2) launch LFS.exe
3) enable "3d" and click OpenVR

so far i'm impressed by the silky smooth FPS and especially seeing the 3d geometry of your own car reflecting in the mirrors!

this simply doesn't exist in no other "popular car sims" that are out there for pc.

this is what i wish was there:

ability to bind the "seat forward/aft, up and down" positions to buttons on hardware controllers as well as "recenter VR" to a button on hwardware. it would be just perfect

now that i have solved this, im buying Rockingham.

@Kingoffice what version of steamvr you are using? in no where mine is looking even close like to yours (even with the menu items in french)

Good to hear that solved it for you!

You can set "recenter VR" to a controller button.

- In Options-Controls, select the ALT+ tab
- ALT+F12 should have the text command "/vr reset"
- If not, add it to one of those keys
- Now you can assign that key to a button

SteamVR 1.15.19
(and I confirm : map "/vr reset" to a button is mandatory for racing !)

Have been running LFS with a 1080ti last few years. Just upgraded to a 3090 so have the FFR option.
I can confirm that LFS will not run with Fixed Foveated Rendering enabled on the Pimax 5k.
I will get a log file at some point in the near future.

I can confirm that it never worked for me either.
Here are the logs, but there doesn't seem to be anything interesting (but I'm available for further tests if necessary). (I changed the "log" extensions to "txt", "log" not being accepted)

LFS crashes (closes itself) when you switch to 3D.

Agree. My logs looked the same with or without FFR. I have been running Reshade and its log looks to have a lot more VR info in it, tried running with and without it but either way LFS will not open. I will leave Reshade enabled and pull logs with and without FFR enabled and upload here.

With Pimax Crystal and active FFR LFS still crash. In the logs the headset is shown as "Pimax 8K". But that probably doesn't matter.

If I disable FFR LFS works fine and looks really cool! I'm eagerly awaiting the new graphics/lighting version! That's going to be great!

Yes, I thinks it's on Pimax side... But if you have a last version of the dll Scaven ? Perhaps it can work ?

Doesn't FFR require DX11 or greater? LFS is still DX9
