Check your steam vr resolution/super sampling in steam vr settings. Its automatic and dependant on your system so its probably running the game higher than oculus most likely, which causes asw to kick in.

Check vr section for g2 tips, plenty there.

 

Steam VR runs as an app inside Oculus when using an Oculus headset. The game ‘talks’ to the Steam VR API which then has to ‘talk’ to the Oculus API. It’s usually better to run it in native Oculus VR mode as Steam VR is nothing but a middle man here and it’s probably costing you a small performance hit. The reason it immediately goes from 80 to 40 is because how the ASW works. If the headset can’t maintain a solid 80 FPS it drops down to 40 and turns on interpolation.

 

Would be a shame They didn't even ban Masterlooser?

 

it is not an isolated case. we've seen it around. there is a case that the driver registers lap times slower than everyone else and passes the opponents. I didn't get an answer from Kunos. but the 505 answered me, asked for everything I had and passed it on to them.

 

Isn't it up to Kunos to take care of it in the first place, is it?

 

It is. It is also their choice whether anything should be done, whether we agree or not. For the record, I would've appreciated something to be done as well.

 

Q&A with Marco Massarutto (founder and Executive Manager of Kunos Simulazioni) and James Baldwin (World's Fastest Gamer winner, British GT driver):

Nope, he is still active and can be seen at CP server split 1.

 

Weird...New banner and nobody seems to have noticed....

 

WTF! Why there are no further action done by Kunos??

It is just an Audi overtakes a Porsche at Döttinger Höhe. No reason to get excited

 

Now I know custom liveries aren't supported, and I get why. I know wishlisting isn't allowed, and I get why. But I really, really wish there'd be a "leak" of the helmet template to create our own helmets similarly to how we can currently do the liveries.

Like, no one will probably see them. I'd just love to create a personal helmet design to use for screenshots.

 

As a livery creator I can understand your request.
But for public multiplayer I'd rather nobody have had ever discovered how to add custom liveries to ACC.

 

Lag join occurs also with liveries customized with ingame editor.
I honestly struggle to believe the problem are liveries.

About helmet customization, thats the most personal aspect, so more templates or the possibility to diy would be great.

 

It's just adding the option to load skins when you go to the boxes. It would solve the join lag.

But there is no intention to solve the problem, as it is not an official resource.

However, widely used, including in the official SRO e-sports championships.

 

The "normal" joining/leaving lags was always there. And already sometimes hard to handle.
Liveries made by using the ingame editor do not increase the lags. But "real" custom livery do. And these lags can ruin your race.

Beside that racing against more and more plain black (mostly) cars breaks the immersion too.

I've asked a lot of people in public multiplayer. Close to nobody seems to know about the downsides of using these liveries.

Even in leagues or race events custom liveries can causes problems.

 

Is it because of the mass of those loveries?
If that is the case, can't they implement a validity check for liveries?

 

Custom liveries (not created with in-game editor) are a pain to use in leagues due to 1. joining lag (problematic if/when someone joins during qualify, race session is closed), 2. lag to access replay during race (often required by admins/race directors to check incidents during the race).

When using custom liveries (not created with the editor) outside leagues, the other drivers (who don't have the skin pack) only see/load the basic paint for that livery, according to the colour/material set.
Basically, this would be identically, in terms of lag, as using any livery created with the editor.
However, it's very dull to have a grid of cars with just plain skins, without the variety and colours of the in-game original liveries, much more pleasing to the eye that any other liveries.

 

They could just force free practice for all servers and forbid joining during race and qualy.
All mass online games have this structure:
A time to collect people
A time to play
Free practice seems a valid time where to collect people.

In the end this is exactly what they do in cp races.

Let's also take into account that such a structure could help preventing stupid behaviours, since 10'fp+10'q+20'r means you are not gonna have many races in a day, or that you gotta wait possibly a lot for the next.

Which is exactly what happens in cp races, again, where, compared to public lobbies, people behave much much better.

So who cares if your lap is ruined in fp. You can socialize. I have never accepted the idea of allowing the people to join in q and race, since lag join is a huge thing in the game.

A simple solution for a complex problem.
Why is this not happening?

 

While I agree to your post the quoted part doesn't suit my experience.
You can basically tell by the happened lag if a joining user is using a custom livery (not created with in-game editor).

Big fan of these liveries it seems
Your simple solution wouldn't fix all the problems custom liveries comes with.
Don't let them use in public multiplayer. It's just selfish
