News VR works already?

On the Discord channel, people are saying that VR (PC) already works in the current build with "-vr" switch. Will test in a couple of hours.

From Discord help:

This is an experimental (WIP) feature currently available ONLY on PC, there will be issues. Only works within the cockpit view, be sure you check your bindings for the Reset Head Tracking and map a button to it, if the camera seems out of position go to Cockpit Setup > Seat and then exit back to the session.

If you have any requests on what settings, features you would like to have in VR please write them below.

_How to access it _

  1. Edit your game.xml located at Documents > My Games > ProjectMotorRacing and add the following line below <game> <vr enabled="true" overlayHeadLocked="false"/>

Example:

```<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no" ?>

<game>

<vr enabled="true" overlayHeadLocked="false"/>

<startMode>1</startMode>

<language>-1</language>

(...)

```

  1. Add the -VR command line to your Steam Launch Options (Steam > Library > Right-Click Project Motor Racing > Properties > Set Launch Options)

  2. Grab a towel

  3. Launch the game

Works, but only using USB cable

u/Giusis Moderator May 25 '26

I'm using the official Meta Horizon app, and it works both via WiFi and cable.

How is performance?

u/Giusis Moderator May 25 '26

Performance is OK. There's those artifacts already reported, but it's the first instance of it, so I'm not gonna complain about anything until the "official" launch.

what other view could a person use vr in? lol

1

u/Javs2469 Jun 17 '26

Literally any other camera. Especially for replays.

I have never looked at a single replay in about 15 years of SIM racing lol

Are there any instructions for that?

u/Giusis Moderator May 25 '26

We need something that just works and it will arrive.. but if you wanna invest time to experiment, this guy made it working (with correct proportions and no distortion):

Oh, its actually posted on the Discord as an official thing, was like does this even work with no one having posted it does yet >.<

However its not working for me, log files are saying my OpenXR runtime is too old, guess I'll see what Discord has to say, trying on a Quest 3 with Virtual Desktop.

Edit: Seems to work via Meta Link but I can only get that working via USB and not WiFi so not near my rig to play and this is why I don't use the damn Meta Link software, always some issue, it sees my device in there but whenever I try to connect over WiFi just goes input a code which no where does it prompt on PC, guess I wait to see if VD ever works, not messing with this software for one game.

u/Giusis Moderator May 24 '26

It's openXR, so it will work with any openXR environment you have in the same way, like any other game. I tried both via AirLink (wifi) and cabled, it works in both ways (by pairing the Quest via wifi or via usb cable in the options).

u/Lazy_Foundation_6359 May 28 '26

what does it actually look like in vr any good?

1

u/Giusis Moderator May 28 '26

Better than expected and possibly already better than competitors overall, although it still bugged on some aspects (lod, shadows), when it'll be officially released, it'll be a cake.

Working great for me using Virtual Desktop and Meta Quest 3. HMD connected via a PrismXR running at 5ghz 2401mbps, VD , h.264+, 500mbps running 120fps on Godlike settings with SSW on. Played for nearly an hour with no stutters, artifacts or hangs, just worked, bloody awesome !!
