Im playing the game through steam using a valve index and the stars in the background are extremely low resolution. Just to be clear this isnt general blur, I have supersampling at 150% and 50% sharpening and everything looks nice and clear. the planets look nice and sharp, the cosmic clouds look good its just the main skybox with the stars.

Im not alone with this problem.

Probably needs the 4k skybox.

@al_gilling having same problem, it's pretty rough.

The skybox looks awful in VR. Why not make it a higher resolution?

And don't tell me it's due to the VR headset limits because SteamVR during load screens has a wonderful stars.

@al_gilling Yea, it's like they never put on a VR headset during testing. If there was testing.

Same here. Not sure if this is related to the forced motion blur but it's really distracting. Running a Valve Index at 120% SS.

@al_gilling Yeah it's quite ugly.
I'd love to have a better "star box" than what we have right now...

Star box looks awful just now but id be happy if they sorted out the VR performance as a whole first.

Yeah blurred stars doesn't feel like you are in space

There is an ingame VR resolution option located in the file  C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\STAR WARS Squadrons Steam\settings\ProfileOptions_profile under GstRender.ResolutionScaleVR however im unsure if its better than doing SteamVR resolution. Biggest issue in my opinion is conveying this information and making it easy to know what is being changed/affected.
