Launching mission in VR is still painful

[PB0_Roll]

HP reverb.

 

When aunching the mission there's a tiny "mission loading" text on a frontview of a Lagg or a Yak, neat and steady, but the background image of the hangar is flashing as in a nightclub, the stroboscopic effect is painful, and I guess could cause epilepsy if I was sensitive enough.  I've seen no progress in a year, since I got this VR set. Closing my eyes while the mission is loading helps, but this stroboscope effect is still very unsetting, even with eyes closed.

 

The "other sim" does not have this when a mission is loading, nor other racing games, that's specific to great battles.

 

Is it, in addition, specific to the reverb ? Is it being worked on ? I've read nothing about it in a year, but I may have missed something.

Look right and it goes away...?

The neat/steady mini loading screen indeed gets out of the way if I turn my head 90° right (or left), the flashy epilepsy inducing background remains, however.

Most of the times I just close my eyes during flickering - but it is kinda annoying, yes.

Normal with all VR.  It does that with the Quest 2 as well. My son has a Rift S and plays other games.  It happens to him too. So I think it’s just a VR thing. I close my eyes if it becomes bothersome.

With OpenVR, I have no flickering on loading a mission and an overall smoother experience than with SteamVR.

 

I do have a problem with disconnecting; my headset tends to do that every once in a while. With SteamVR, I can just reconnect again while with OVR, it crashes. So alas I'm forced to use SteamVR... But if you haven't got any problems with your headset disconnecting, I can really recommend OVR.
