As the title says, Can you add PC VR performance to the list of knows issues? 

Its being documented over many forums and over many different system and headset Types. It seems to be luck of the draw if you can run the game at a playable FPS in VR.

This will also show that you know of the issue and are looking for a fix. I think its at least what the community deserve as a lot of people have paid for this game with the impression of it being playable in VR.

Same here !!

My System I7 9700 RTX 2080... Squadrons are not playable in VR  FPS drops like Hell. Mid 60Fps most of the time

With Low Graphic Settings i get 90 Fps sometimes

Playing in VR, the frame rate is halved (ASW or reprojection, etc.) most of the time, while GPU utilization is at ~40-50%. I have tried changing VR quality settings, but it seems to make little difference in framerate.

I've tried with Oculus Quest via Link, Oculus CV1, HTC Vive, all have the same results. In the rare cases that I do get target framerate (72/90) and GPU utilization is higher, there is pretty steady and consistent judder and stuttering when I turn the ship with yaw or roll.

My hardware: 2080 Super, i7 7700k 16GB RAM, all drivers up to date.

Windows 10 v2004

I can run in non-VR mode on Ultra at 5120x1440 and get 160-200 fps, so something seems to be up with VR performance.

How severe is your issue? Can play, but it's highly frustrating
What happens when the bug occurs? VR performance is bad. Regardless of settings. Looks like it's constantly in ASW mode, projecting frames. This happens even on Low graphic settings. My specs Win 10 8700K @ 4,7 GHz 1080 TI OC 16 GB RAM @ 3200 Game installed on SSD Oculus Rift S
What do you expect to see? Should get 80 frames for Oculus Rift S. So it doesn't go into ASW (Asynchronous space warp) mode

The game feels choppy Everywhere in combat. Regardless of graphic settings. My computer should run it 80 frames solid at least on Low settings. But it still happens on Low settings. I have also heard this same complaint from people with much better hardware, 9900K and 2080 TI etc. Settings don't matter for them either

[markgbe]

Same issue.

I7 9700k, 16gb RAM, RTX2080.

Valve Index headset.

Constant re-projection, and not even touching 80fps.  GPU usage stays between 60-65%.

[HyperionBiga]

Same here. 8700K, 16 GB, 1080 TI, Rift S.

Can't reach the required 80 FPS even with lowest settings, which results in constant ASW. Which doesn't look pleasant. In addition there's the horrible motion blur that makes VR look like covered in vaseline, regardless of how far you push the Supersampling (200%, because what the heck, it's ASW anyway now)

[RobinNyan]

same, ryzen 2700x with a 2080 ti and I get 35-40 fps on auto VR settings

actually got my VR headset just for this game :/ kinda bummed right now. 100+ fps at 4k on my main screen, yet 30 fps in VR

[bretzel012]

Same issue here.

VR Platform: SteamVR / Valve Index

Stuttering remains when SteamVR resolution is turned down to 50% and refresh rate reduced to 80Hz. FPS VR shows low GPU utilization and all frame timings being met.

[nathanmcgilv]

Same for me. It doesn’t matter what settings I use high med or low. It’s constant reprojection on the Index.
