- The EA Sports WRC VR Beta is here! I'm running in High preset at 1920x1080 windowed mode (I upsample to 1440p during editing). While running the game alone, I get 90fps in the Quest 3 no issue, but with recording it definitely puts strain onj the system and I'd recommend taking down some of the details if recording.
The VR view is not as good as the recorded footage (not even close), but if you want to play in VR and don't mind it being washed out and too bright , it's worth it in my opinion! I've been waiting for VR support for quite some time so I had lowered expectations (especially after the game was so buggy on regular screens for quite a while.
My system specs are:
NVIDIA ROG 3090
Intel i9 12000K CPU
64BG DDR5 Memory
NVME Game drive
Quest 3
Steam Link
I was able to run the game in VR at 90fps (I don't let it exceed 90) on High preset while NOT recording.
I was hitting 60-70fps on High preset while playing and also recording in OBS.
I'm using the Quest 3; my Bigscreen Beyond would likely need lower graphics settings because the screens are so much higher resolution. I'll be able to test out the Bigscreen VR here soon hopefully (currently RMA'ing it).
I tried WRC once and was instantly put off lol, it's like a toy. So much missing, very depressing coz I was looking forward to more to do/objectives/variable difficulties etc. Straight back to DR2.
I was so looking forward to another Codemasters rally game... what a shame it's a mess.
The gameplay, physics, and graphics are noticeably better than DR2. Fun to watch!
Definitely looks better in the recording than in the gameplay but that's okay for trying to make videos (for now)
.... my gtx1660ti cant run it on vr at all it's kinda disappointing. I know I shouldn't expect much from that mid gpu but to think I cant run it at all is pretty sad, i want to at least play in low setting
Hopefully they’ll keep fine-tuning it. It’s still a Beta so fingers crossed they don’t drop it
It looks bad on a 4090 with OpenXR and dynamic foveated rendering so I hope they improve it cause I just can't race on flat anymore.
That’s a shame - I thought maybe 40-series players would have better results. I think I’m using the openVR runtime (using steam link) - what’s not working for you? Does it seem bright/washed out for you too?
I agree on no more flat… I’ve been waiting to play EAWRC for months!
@@nongamerplays I got OpenXR working but without any upscaling in the game or the openXR software(it crashes with any upscaling). I got dynamic foveated rendering working on my Pro but the performance increase is not that big. My standard in VR is AMS2 and if your going to do VR in 2024 it has look on par or better. Its half decent a few meters in front of your car but at a distance where it's really important It's really blurry.
I see... I went and looked again and the Pro is in the supported HMD list so ya they should have made it work with foveated rendering for sure! What happens when you turn it off/can you turn it off?
Honestly it should be at least as good as DR2 (lots and lots of detail) and it definitely is not and that's meh af but I'm still hoping they keep making it better.
DLSS upscaling is working for me (for now)... I will try turning it off and see if there's any difference.
@@nongamerplays I can turn it off and use all the game upscaling but I never like dlss, fsr... IN openxr you can use CAS upscaling which is usually pretty good but the game crashes when I try it
I'll try today w/o DLSS but I have a feeling it'll just run worse. I want to figure out how to make it look better (contrast/saturation) in the headset the most. I'm interested to see how it looks in the Bigscreen VR once I get it working again.
good video, sadly that is just so much worse than dirt rally 1 and 2. i just cant go backwards by that amount. oh well. maybe in 5 years they will release the next game with the ego engine and optimized VR... yeah right, lol. but one can dream.
How is the game worse than DR1 or DR2?
@@ophatjb the vr implementation/ graphics.
I’m hopeful they’ll fine tune it. Didn’t DR2 need time before that VR was decent? There’s def a few better things like full screen replays (on monitor) that I like better than DR2 but it definitely has a ways to go!
@@nongamerplays I mean yes, it needed time, but WHY AGAIN? Shouldn't we assume that a studio has gained some experience and uses it for the next title?
I agree fully that this Beta VR after waiting months is ridiculous... EA + Unreal isn't a great combination.
I tried WRC VR on my 4070 and the quest 3 and it looks awful, washed out colors and choppy as hell. yes its a beta but at least make it playable before you release it.......Back to Dirt 2.
I've tried for another two days to make videos but steamlink crashes then oculus link crashes and washed out in-hmd view as you said... I'm definitely disappointed!
Hi great video, can you tell me which link cable you use, regards
@phillea708 I use a Amazon Fiber usb c cable listed here:
a.co/d/26tQBsa I don't know if its better or worse than others but it works really well for my Quests!
How does this compare to the UEVR mod? is the performance and visuals better or worse?
The UEVR mod stopped working after 1.4 update so idk if it even works anymore but I prefer the replay with UEVR - you’re the camera in the replays so where you look is the view.
The official VR beta has a floating rectangle in VR view (like Dirt Rally 2) but the benefit is that the monitor sees the full replay so recording is good.
I’m on the fence honestly - there were benefits to both but only the VR beta works for me now so that’s what I’ll use.
I think the graphics were better in-headset with UEVR but the recording graphics are better with the Beta VR…
@@nongamerplays ok thanks for the info! Its a shame the mod isnt working! I hope it becomes functional again, ive been impressed with it in other non-native VR games and was curious if it worked in WRC too and i didnt even know if it worked until i saw your other video today! As far as WRC goes, i thought the in-headset graphics would be better in the mod but im glad its finally adding VR natively! preydog FTW? 🤔 only time will tell i guess!
I think I'll try again today to see if the UEVR works again but I'm guessing they changed files/settings which conflict with the mod so maybe if the UEVR gets updated again soon! I really enjoy playing Gravel in VR with the UEVR! It's an arcade rally/offroad game and UEVR works really well with it!
Thanks for watching the other vids too!!
waiting for psvr2
Unfortunately Leonardo they’ve said it’s only going to get pcvr support. Pretty lame.
How do you get the beta? Do you have to activate beta in steam settings?
no it's just EA trying to excuse themselves for releaseing this BS VR mode. You just boot up the game. It's unplayable for me....
For me on steam the game just has an update and then you can launch it via VR. Has an annoying moment where you have to say yes to opening VR but it’s on the monitor rather than in headset so hopefully that will get fixed.
@R83TV where’s your specs at for their min/rec settings? My gpu is 30-series but they’re rec 4080 in the better end. Also they’re saying to run everything on low - have you tried reducing shadows and reflections etc?
Very cool.
Thanks!!
Vr broken?? Ea Just being ea. Nothing more
Is yours not working Pablo? I have my complaints for sure but playable so far with my setup
@@nongamerplays nop... But im sure that if i bougth the game it wont work
What’s your system and headset? They have minimum and recommended specs listed in the update. Sorry if it doesn’t work out - I experience non stop issues with VR myself but the immersion makes it worth it
@@nongamerplaysrtx 3070, vr hp g2.
But i've been reading that even with 4070 the game crash with vr
I’m using a 3090 and had no crashes while playing yesterday. I’ll be getting in again today too hopefully. Not saying you should buy it as it’s still very much BETA atm but it’s not always the game… sometimes it’s something small that causes big problems
