[NEW] VR Performance ToolKit RSF

[RavenSystem]

Hi!

 

I have updated and improved the old vrperfkit. Feel free to try it:

 

https://github.com/RavenSystem/VRPerfKit_RSF

 

Sample configuration file for Il-2. Modify as your needs:

 

 

vrperfkit_RSF.zip

 

Cheers!

Edited December 27, 2023 by RavenSystem
Updated config file to v3.2

[RavenSystem]

Hello!

 

Currently, testing the new feature Hidden Radial Mask, to avoid GPU rendering hidden pixels, and increase performance. It will be available in next VRPerfKit RSF version:

 

 

Cheers!

[RavenSystem]

Version 2.0 released.

[TCW_Brzi_Joe]

Hi, nice to hear about this. Only it is banned from most multiplayer servers, and foveated rendering is targeting middle of the screens, and not actual eye centers (well I have pimax so I see it well). Didn´t test much, my game broke fast.

 

I wish developer help with foveated...

Hi! 
 

Did you set options from first post?

[TCW_Brzi_Joe]

Yes, I added them (as they do not exist in yml file). Except hidden mask, that is already ok in pimax driver.

I can test it more if you need tester, but for me is no multiplayer too much sacrifice.

 

Wait, where is version 2.0? I see 1.00 only.

EDIT: found it. Please edit link in first post to releases, not to release 1.0

It seems that new options are ignored. You can check log file to know if options are working.

Could you attach log file?

[TCW_Brzi_Joe]

Log is not created, it is empty.

[TCW_Brzi_Joe]

I have in my config file "modes = 0" -> Is that disabling mods?

Create log file and write version is the first thing that program does. It is very rare. Could you try this new built?

VRToolkit doesn't need in-game mods enable.

Remove binary file because it is old

[TCW_Brzi_Joe]

Wow, it is working with v2 - that before was my mistake, do not worry. It is excellent for single player: I had 90 fps 99% of time. I wish I had that in multiplayer....

 

Only thing, I was playing on Berloga, there mods are allowed, and normal spotting is on (like on other mp servers). Then suddenly my game froze. Unfortunately, like with other foveated solutions (Pimax driver foveated, and Fholgers OpenVR-Foveated). I think that game freezes when I see plane outside of 10km, where is 1 pixel graphic. I am not sure, but I think that.

 

Anyway, foveated works excellent, you got finally clear sections on right places, even on canted Pimax. Good job man

I really, really, really wish that your solution works on mp...

Try increasing this to 80 under fixedFoveated: section:

ignoreFirstTargetRenders: 80

Edited November 29, 2023 by RavenSystem

[TCW_Brzi_Joe]

Today is worse on berloga with ignoreFirstTargetRenders: 80

Game broke every time, in a first several seconds in server. Sometimes it just closes to steamvr, and sometimes game is hanging with sound in background.

Try with 

ignoreFirstTargetRenders: 120

[TCW_Brzi_Joe]

It is breaking with 1200, too. Singleplayer too...

 

Wait, I remember there was 2 modes in perfkit for ffr, one was "variable rate shading", second do not know any more. I think that second one wasn´t breaking game. Is that second one in your perfkit?

 

EDIT: Second one was RDM - radial density masking (works with all GPUs, but much uglier)

RDM Method

[RavenSystem]

Using 1200 will disable VRS. Problem must be in other part. Maybe Upscaler can not be used together. Could you try to disable FFR and enable HRM and check performance impact?

 

FYI: I tried my version of RDM fixed with Il-2, and performance was poor (tested with a Radeon Pro 5700XT), because it needs a reconstruction shader. Maybe I integrate it into PerfKit RSF in the future.

[RavenSystem]

Version 3.0 released.

[huligan]

is it works with OpenXR dll from opencomposite ? 

I use IL-2 without SteamVR from VD on Pico4 (VDXR)

 

Edited December 4, 2023 by huligan

[TCW_Brzi_Joe]

Version 3, RDM works good. I was playing on Berloga 10-15min. 

I just changed my pc, so I can not say how good it is for performance

 

How did you solve position of FFR circles? Do you know something what can help Fholgers OpenVR_FSR and Mbuccias OpenXR_Toolkit?

I don't know; you can try. Il-2 uses OpenVR, but I don't know if OpenXR is loaded before the toolkit. However, current SteamVR version has better performance than OpenComposite in VD. I tested it with Quest 2 and Quest 3. You must set SteamVR custom resolution to 100%, disable Advanced supersample filter, disable SteamVR Home, and disable Theater mode. To control resolution, use VD settings.

You can try VRS using options from sample config file attached to first post. Position of circles are good; issue was in detecting which eye is rendering, because this game uses multiple and variable target renders.

 

I don't know how OpenXR Toolkit works, because my only OpenXR game is MSFS2020, and built-in options are better than toolkit. Remember that using any toolkit or reshade has a fixed cost due to hooks and injectors. Source code is open and available to all in GitHub then Mbuccias can see how it works.

 

About OpenVR_FSR, this toolkit has original FSR, NIS and CAS, with several improvements. I talked with Fholgers about all of this, and the reason I am developing this is because he will not develop his toolkits anymore. You can read about it here: https://github.com/fholger/vrperfkit/issues/163

[RavenSystem]

New version v3.1 released, adding a new option about render targets to increase performance with il-2. Config file has been updated too at first post.

[RavenSystem]

New version v3.2 released, with huge improvements on dynamic modes.

[RavenSystem]

I updated Il-2 sample config file at first post.

[RavenSystem]

These results are some examples:

 

- RDM: Fixed Foveated Rendering using Radial Density Mask method:

 

- HRM: Hidden Radial Mask, aka Lens Mask:

 

- Dynamic Mode for HRM, changing radio automatically when FPS drops to keep performance (It's available in FFR too):

 

Cheers!

How do I go about getting this mask? I am using the ReverbG2 headset and currently get a rectilinear perimeter.?

[354thFG_Drewm3i-VR]

Does this work in multi-player or does it use reshade?

You must download it from releases at GitHub website, and unzip files at \bin\game\ Il-2 folder (nothing will be overwritten). You can use sample config file from first post, that has lens mask enabled.

I use it in multiplayer, but in private servers to play with friends. It doesn't use Reshade, it's a totally different software; however, tasks are done by hooks, injectors, and D3D11 compute and pixel shaders. If Il-2 developers agree, I could help them to include these things directly in the game (it's easy), giving even more performance because the use of hooks and injectors have a little fixed cost.

Interesting and thanks for your work! IL-2 could use some VR optimizations for sure. Would one be able to connect to servers that disallow mods is my question. Could anyone confirm?

I can tell you that this is not an in-game mod, and it will work with mods option disabled. However, it probably will not work if server has enabled "Restrict Injectors" option.

Loving it @RavenSystem. Really gives me some additional fps without any  loss of image quality that I can see.

You should add it all in the first post, together with the instructions, for ease of use.

They really need to add this optimization into the game as it is not useable in multiplayer sadly. @Regingrave

It will not work on most servers as almost all restrict injectors because people have used them to cheat in the past.

[RavenSystem]

In order to work in multiplayer, I could help developers to integrate toolkit improvements directly in game if they agree. As I said, it is an easy task. @LukeFF

Also should tag @Han. 

 

I can't see any reason why they wouldn't want to boost VR performance and image quality with minimal effort.

Do you have a manual for you little plugin?  I've been using it for Elite Dangerous.  Would like to know what everything does so I can get the full benefits of it.
