@PJTierney Did they manage to fix the Polo R5's snow tires? I don't see it in the fix list, but if you could tell me it's in (or not), I'd appreciate it.

Don't think that one was resolved this time round.

Is the "There are no plans to add PlayStation VR support to DiRT Rally 2.0." a case of maybe down the line, or not ever? Real shame if the latter.

Yeah it’s a shame, it was great in Dirt Rally 1.

So how do I start it in VR using steam with an oculus?

buy on ouclus home. (as it seems it only has native oculus support through oculus home)

it should still start with steam vr if you use a rift automatically though, so in theory just install the update and start it. should detect it and run it. (just with worse performance. steam vr was always a bit buggy for me with a rift.

Well im not gonna rebuy the game if i already have it on steam, I guess i'll install SteamVR and see if that works. Thought I still had that but apparently not.

yeah that should work. let us know how the performance is and what your pc specs are.

 

i am hesitating to buy through oculus home because i know with dr1 all the online featrues were linked to the store. so oculus store players couldnt play in leagues with steam owners and vice versa. if it is the same this time around again i have to wait what other people say how the performance is with steamvr.

i am really sad that thy took away native rift support. i mean its brilliant that there is steam vr support now, that was needed, but why not let the player decide which runtime to use. especially if its developed for the oculus store anyway. there obviously is a build version with oculus support but they choose not to release it. shame.

Glad it’s finally here but what madness is this if there isn’t native oculus support for steam owners!?!?

Also, for those considering the oculus store version, just be careful... it’s unclear if it can run in normal 2D mode, and there doesn’t appear to be any mention of the seasons or anyway to buy them yet. Oh, and it’s full price, lol. 
 

@Roland Horn

Not sure if your joking, but that’s not how VR works lol.

Yea that did it, just had to install SteamVR, performance with a 1060... well im gonna have to turn down quite a few settings, so far its pretty fun, but I might like it more with horizon lock disabled, gonna see if thats possible

I expressed myself wrong. The view is too big. My steering wheel looks like a bus steering wheel.

The view in VR should be exactly as if you were seeing it in real life. That's kinda the point. If the wheel looks too big, you're either sitting too close to it, or your expectations need adjusting.

its possible the worldsize is off. in pcars2 for example you can change a setting to adjust for that. the first time i started it a formula1 wheel looked lik it would 30" in diameter. but then you can tune it and it gets better.

Good point, forgot about that. You'd think these things would be dealt with automatically.

So what are you guys saying, that even if you move the seat back in the car, the steering wheel looks larger than say 34cm in an R2 or R5?  And you are SURE about this?  (I don't have a VR set to check here)

@PJTierney

can you confirm that racenet for oculus and steam version run on the same server this time around? or is it like the first time where oculus users were not able to join leagues and timetrials with steam users?

that is really important to make a decision on where to buy it.

Post-launch content from other platforms will come to Oculus in the future.

When it’s ready, right?

If I was a betting man, I might wager this is an artificially staggered release to allow the first wave of Oculus customers to buy the game at full price without immediately seeing  additional content at additional cost. But that would be pretty scummy and anti-consumer, so I’m sure it’s not that.

How is something sold at an arms-length 'scummy and anti-consumer'? What does 'artificially staggered' mean? There's a 'natural stagger' they should (despite it being anti-profit) follow?

Somehow Codies are morally expected to sell their game in a way which doesn't maximise sales? I'm all ears on this, seriously.

@PJTierney

Could you please clarify the following questions with the devs as this seems to be important for a lot of people:

1. Was VR implemented with both native OculusVR and SteamVR/OpenVR or only one? (though Oculus Store availability suggests both)
2. If yes, are both store versions shipped with both each? Or does the Oculus Store version only ship with native OculusVR support (and the same for the steam version)?
3. If yes, can the user decide which mode to use by using a command line param for example?
4. Can Oculus Store players compete online with Steam Version Players?

I'd like to know the answer to this too. I bought the Steam version on release and will be very unhappy if the native Oculus support is only available in the version bought through the Oculus store. Looking at the program folder, there is only openvr_api.dll and there are no options within Steam to specify the type of VR to use. I have a Rift S attached to a PC with a 1080Ti and a 9700K at 5.2GHz. Even with all the graphics options set to low I am getting terrible performance.

Wheeeeee it's so much fun!!!!!

This is worth the entire price of the game for me. I've never as much enjoyed sampling so many cars in this free way, in a video game, where the cars feel so 'alive' and responsive.

Masterstroke by Codies.

And one thing: See how the colours on the trees are a mix of red, yellow and greens? @ianism it's what you mentioned regarding the NE stages. This is so much better.
