I love messing around and chilling with other VR players in no man’s sky. Me and one of my buddies online took down a whole dreadnaught In VR It felt like Star Wars
Playing with friends in VR is honestly the best, especially with games like this that’s just exploring. I played Minecraft VR with my friends and it was the best thing I’ve played in a while 😂
Yeah man, a couple of people have mentioned that now and after learning what HOTAS even was I now want one myself 😂 it would be so cool. Some people on reddit have made custom setups of it though by using an Xbox controller but I don’t know the specifics all too much.
Hoenstly, the only issue i have with NMS in VR is that you have to essentially cripple your graphics to play it at a steady framerate. I got a simmilar system to you (ryzen 7 5800X instead of the 3600X) but with my pico4 i have to absolutely neuter the graphics down to standarxd across the board (and maxed out base complexity) to reliably hit the 90fps my vr displays run at... and that's with dlss on quality... with nonVR i can max everythign out pretty much and that without DLSS but with DLAA for the anti aliasing...
Dang sersioulsy that’s crazy, I actually get better frames in VR mode when running on High graphics, it’s laggy for the first 5 minutes but then settles to a really solid 90fps. My headset is really old though so it might not be trying to reach Pico 4 resolution.
@@CaptainsRath No idea... anyway, I installed a foveated rendering mod (since we pcvr folks don't get even fixed foveated rendering) and will try again tomorrow. Should be noted tho, that I do have the game modded quite a bit including fineLOD and relight, so maybe that does it xD
Nice to see another small VR content creator here on the platform, I love your content! Have you tried playing Tf2 VR, I have some video about it on my channel
Yeah it’s really nice to see another on here too! And thanks I’ve been watching some of your videos too, really good work! I didn’t even know that Tf2VR existed but now I legit want to play it after watching a few of your vids. If you are ever down to play then just hit me up on Discord, I have my server in the description and you can just DM me from there!
I also have a 3060 , what are you using airlink , virtual desktop or steam link? if so what are your settings :O? i tested 72hz at normal rez works great but wanna get better detail
I haven’t tried it with my Quest 3 yet, I’ve only played it with my Oculus Rift headset. I’ve been meaning to test it out on Quest so I’ll update you later today on how my experience is. I do use Virtual Desktop for my Steam VR games as I just have a better experience with it, but often I have to turn down the in game resolution a bit as basically native 4K each eye is a killer 😂 For VD my settings are 100mbs streaming, 90hz, and then everything else is set to the default besides the CODEC which I have at HEVC 10-bit.
@@CaptainsRath i have to admit the graphics are amazing. But the planet exploration aspect really disappoints me its not like No Man’s Sky where you can freely explore a whole planet on your ship, on a vehicle or on foot.
Oh absolutely, the game definitely has its pretty moments. But I do agree the exploration part, which is sorta Bethesda’s big thing, is very lacking in this game. The stories and side quests are always great, but there isn’t much to explore or to have much fun in outside of premade quests. Oh and the mods are going to be CRAZY!! One mod I’m hoping for is a vehicle mod, so traversing the world isn’t a pain in the ass.
Hello,i have a rtx 3060 ti and the Last time i tryed this game its was laggy ,but i didn't turn off V'sync and i didn't change any steam vr settings,,i will try again later,What could you suggest me to be almost sure to have no lag?
Hmm I would def say to try turning off Vsync, but that didn’t help me all too much. Also reducing the resolution in steamVR can help a good amount. Also when No Man’s Sky is running, go into task manager, go to the details tab, and then find SteamOVR.exe (or something like that) and NMS.exe and set both to High priority. This worked for me on a lot of games in the past. What CPU are you running on and how much RAM, also what settings is No Man’s Sky running at in VR, they could have been set too high? No Man’s VR will definitely have lag no matter what, but I’ve been able to limit it to only heavy moments like leaving and entering a planet. Apart from that it should work pretty well.
@@CaptainsRath thank you,well i have 32gb in ram and i have a ryzen 7 5700x,i will try What you told me,in nms setting i think i tryed the lowest but i am not sure
@@woatbgyt7420 gotcha, yeah those specs should definitely be able to run at atleast medium or high settings. Try those and hopefully it will work! Oh and make sure your game is on an SSD, it should help.
@@CaptainsRath OK so it worked very Nice with dlss in quality mod in 4k (on steam vr)but the quality without any anti aliasing is not good but you have like wierd things on the edge so to fix it i use anti aliasing but the quality is even worse, you can see it on the stars ,i think with good optimisation no man sky in vr can have good quality with same performance
Helpful video man! I didnt even know about the rerouting power thing! :o Its definietly not blurry for me in VR on an htc vive pro 2, RTX 4090 and amd 7900x3d cpu. Stable running @ 5100x5100 pixels (80 FPS avg) on all ultra settings with DLSS balanced mode. If anyone needs optimization help with PCVR hit me up I spent a lot of time getting here. I doubt the game itself is the problem with recording VR.. Seems like VR in general takes a lot of fine tuning for your PC. For instance to run at the highest resolution stable you may need to unplug or change resolution on monitors / streaming software to find that "Sweet spot" for stability vs performance. I have found if I send my video to OBS to my old PC with Aver capture card, and just unplug the main PC Monitor, I have minimal game performance loss while streaming or recording (lowered resolution to 4800x4800).
Thanks man! Yeah it’s weird because it’s only No Man’s Sky which had the issue, but I think I’ve sorted it out now as it was a mixture between NMS simply being demanding and my recording software being unstable after updating to Windows 11. Yeah I’ve spent a lot of time in the SteamVR settings myself 😂 that menu screen is engraved in my brain, but hey atleast it works flawlessly now at high settings at native resolution.
It may be possible, but I am a bit doubtful that it would be a good experience. Because you are on a laptop, you are going to be running on mobile, weaker, parts compared to the actual card in a full PC. The GTX1060 in a full PC struggles to play the game, so I can’t imagine how a laptop will run it, especially once the laptop starts to overheat. But if you still want to try it out, you can either try the game through GamePass PC which you can get a cheap trial for, or buy on Steam and test the game out before 2 hours of playtime so you can still refund it incase it doesn’t work. The rest of your build should be fine though!
@@CaptainsRath oh, ok thanks for the info. And can I start VR from the start or do I have to play a bit and then switch to VR? (I'm asking because I want to make sure I don't waste time trying 😅)
You can do VR at any time you want and can start the game in VR. You don’t need to start in flatscreen and then switch so you won’t have to waste any time :) It’s also nice because you can play flatscreen for 5 hours then continue in VR. You can play VR for 20 hours then continue in flatscreen. So you can take a break from VR when needed and still play.
So... I can run full ultra setting with more than 100 FPS, but I cant get it to run at all (like its 3 fps for a while and then crashes) on any settings in PCVR with Meta Quest... wtf
Yeah it’s pretty demanding, but you should still be able to run it. The game crashes for me when it doesn’t detect a headset. what link software are you using (Virtual Desktop, Airlink, Steam Link, etc.) for me it didn’t work with Airlink and Steam Link and then I gave up. I still have to test out Virtual Desktop though.
@@CaptainsRath I tried all 3 I think. First I tried steam link, then Virtual desktop, which crashes on trying to load the game. And... actually I maybe did not use airlink yet. Will try. Btw. I have an RTX 3060.
UPDATE: Just tested it out with Virtual Desktop and it worked immediately. Only issue is that my PC is getting 90fps but the encoder on my PC is struggling, only delivering 40-50fps in the headset. It’ll be perfect soon with some adjustments.
Oh it’s running great! Im still tweaking it but when I’m not recording I’m running at a very solid 90FPS at high settings. My only issue I’m having right now is that whenever I first load into the game it will have major lags, but after a couple mins it will go back to normal. I didn’t have this before the new update though so this might actually be on their end.
Jeez, yeah your PC is slightly more powerful than mine so you definitely shouldn’t be having any issues. What has helped me with VR games in the past is going to task manager, details, NMS.exe and setting priority to high. Doing the same for SteamVR may also help. Also turning down SteamVR res has helped me a lot, even if it’s only by 5%. These small decreases have gotten me 10-20 gained frames with negligible decrease in quality. These help the most so try these first before starting to lower the graphics options!
It should be able to run through Steam with your PC connected to your Quest 3 headset! Performance is very dependent on your computer, NMS VR is very heavy and required a really beefy computer. What are your computer specs, I can probably tell you if it works or not?
@@CaptainsRath I have an ROG Strix G15 advantage laptop. Its got AMD Ryzen 9 RX6800m with 32 gb ram. Would that be enough to play it you reakon? I’m a total noob when it comes to what specs are good or not. Its rumoured santa is getting me a quest 3. It will be me first vr headset aside from the psvr 1. Appreciate your help mate :)
Woah Santa is a really nice guy dang! I’ve been using my Quest 3 and it’s great I think you’ll enjoy it lots. As for your laptop, I THINK it should be able to run NMS in VR. The only thing I will recommend is either testing it out on GamePass or trying to test it in Steams Refund timeframe incase it does not work. But from what I’m looking at I think it should be fine!
@@CaptainsRath Thank you mate really appreciate the time you took out to help me. Thats good to know. I’ve already got NMS so i’ll give it a try. Much appreciated mate :) ❤️
@chrisclark6705 no problem man! And hell yeah even better that you already own the game, now all of your worlds can be played in VR too! Hope you have fun with your Quest 3 and NMS!
i dont know mate. i test it with my valve index on rtx 3080 and ryzen 9 5900x and lowest settings for vr and is like 10 fps and stuttering. by my friend the same problem
Damn that sucks, I’m on an rtx 3060 Ryzen 5 3600x with a quest 3 and I’m going strong. I’d say you might want to turn down steam vr resolution, that helped me a lot and often times it’s set way higher than you need. Oh and also go to task manager then to details and find NMS.exe. Set priority of NMS.exe to high. That helped me in the past.
@LunarBerrymarcel yeah default settings on Steam are native resolution, so sometimes even reducing that resolution by only 5-10% has brought me up like 20-30 frames.
I need help on how you made no mans sky to work on vr because i just got the game today and the game dosent work at all so can you help me for to get the game working for vr
I can try, but I'm going to need some more info. What issues are you running into? What are the specs of your PC? What have you already tried to do to fix your issues?
@CaptainsRath so I have just bought the game and when I start the game it loads to a black screen and then steam vr fails or if I get lucky then I can make it to the main menu but when I try to start the game it takes me to the space sequence and then i sit there for a few minutes and then it crashes but I did make it to the game but it lasted for a second and I never was able to get to the game ever since but I looked up many videos I found one saying to use windows defender and put the game in there and run the game in compatibility mode but that didint work and my specs are a amd ryzen 3 5300G with radeon graphics and my gpu is a amd radeon rx 5500
@UnitedCreativeCloudInk How much RAM do you have? And hmm, your GPU is pretty much on the borderline with being able to play this game in VR, as it is very demanding, but I might have a few ideas that can help. Here is some basic stuff: Make sure all graphic settings are set to the lowest. Make sure drivers are updated. Make sure you have no windows updates left Make sure nothing else is running in the background Now a couple more advanced things: When in game (or in menu) go to SteamVR settings and turn down the in game resolution, and overall just mess around with the settings in there. If you feel that you’ve messed something up then don’t worry, you can just press the reset to defaults option. When the game is open, go to task manager and go to details. Find the game in this list and set its priory to High. This helped me run the game in the past on my older PC. Hopefully one of these can help you!
I’m on an RTX 3060 and what helped me run it is not playing on max resolution/using DLSS. The game is quite unoptimized for VR, so even with high end hardware you are kinda screwed. Can’t believe I played this on an RX580 before 💀
@@CaptainsRath dangggg what headset do you use? i’m using a quest 2 and i’ve heard people saying they demand more vram in most games or just run bad in nms vr. this is the only game i’ve been having problems with :/
@@xronos_exe I’m using the Oculus Rift, and yeah VRAM might be a part of the problem. I used to be on 4GB and it was rough, now my 3060 is rocking 12GB.
Well your GPU is still really solid, and what it has 8GB of VRAM? That should definitely be good enough for NMS VR. You might have another issue that’s software related. Or maybe you are playing on an HDD?
I mean, I play on PCVR and got all of this footage from the PCVR version while recording. It isn’t THAT bad. But it definitely does need some optimization work.
@@CaptainsRath yeah it's terrible. PSVR2 just got the keys to the kingdom in the last update and PC users are likely never going to see a patch to fix the atrocious performance. This is likely the worst performing VR game I have. MSFS 2020 runs better which is saying something.
@@Thezuule1 haha yeah PSVR2 players are fr eating good, weird though that you have a better pc than mine but I’m running better. You shouldn’t be having any issue with your specs.
@@CaptainsRath I'm also not trying to, or willing to run the game at 1200p. I push my headset at 5400x2700 and it plays anything else without issue. MSFS, Asgard's Wrath, Bonelab, Alyx, you name it, they all run smoothly. This game on the other hand is a trainwreck.
I run the game at 1440p but yeah, it’s harder to run. The only reason I can see to the performance issues is that NMS is so big, but it can definitely get better optimized. Still, not that bad. It definitely takes some tweaking to get right though. Also, a 4070 isn’t made for 4K VR. And now you’re pushing your headset well past 4K so performance issues are bound to happen.

Damn that sucks, I’m on an rtx 3060 Ryzen 5 3600x with a quest 3 and I’m going strong. I’d say you might want to turn down steam vr resolution, that helped me a lot and often times it’s set way higher than you need.
Oh and also go to task manager then to details and find NMS.exe. Set priority of NMS.exe to high. That helped me in the past.
@@CaptainsRath thank u mate, i try this later. my steam vr settings are default valve index settings. i try to set the res down
@LunarBerrymarcel yeah default settings on Steam are native resolution, so sometimes even reducing that resolution by only 5-10% has brought me up like 20-30 frames.
I need help on how you made no mans sky to work on vr because i just got the game today and the game dosent work at all so can you help me for to get the game working for vr
I can try, but I'm going to need some more info. What issues are you running into? What are the specs of your PC? What have you already tried to do to fix your issues?
@CaptainsRath so I have just bought the game and when I start the game it loads to a black screen and then steam vr fails or if I get lucky then I can make it to the main menu but when I try to start the game it takes me to the space sequence and then i sit there for a few minutes and then it crashes but I did make it to the game but it lasted for a second and I never was able to get to the game ever since but I looked up many videos I found one saying to use windows defender and put the game in there and run the game in compatibility mode but that didint work and my specs are a amd ryzen 3 5300G with radeon graphics and my gpu is a amd radeon rx 5500
@UnitedCreativeCloudInk
How much RAM do you have?
And hmm, your GPU is pretty much on the borderline with being able to play this game in VR, as it is very demanding, but I might have a few ideas that can help.
Here is some basic stuff:
Make sure all graphic settings are set to the lowest.
Make sure drivers are updated.
Make sure you have no windows updates left
Make sure nothing else is running in the background
Now a couple more advanced things:
When in game (or in menu) go to SteamVR settings and turn down the in game resolution, and overall just mess around with the settings in there. If you feel that you’ve messed something up then don’t worry, you can just press the reset to defaults option.
When the game is open, go to task manager and go to details. Find the game in this list and set its priory to High. This helped me run the game in the past on my older PC.
Hopefully one of these can help you!
@CaptainsRath ok I'm trying that right now and I'll tell you if anything happens to the game
@CaptainsRath ok, so I tried that, and that didn't work. How did you get your game to work in vr to make the video?
I have a 4070 and this game just wont run properly
I’m on an RTX 3060 and what helped me run it is not playing on max resolution/using DLSS. The game is quite unoptimized for VR, so even with high end hardware you are kinda screwed.
Can’t believe I played this on an RX580 before 💀
why does it stutter for me even though i have a very high end pc? please help.
I’ll do my best! For starters, what are the specs of your PC?
@@CaptainsRathrtx 2060 and i7 9700 non (k) and 16gb of ram. by the way the stutter lies within the vr version
@yeet3633 oh yeah you should definitely be able to play. What headset do you use and do you know the resolution you play at?
quest 2
3264x1648 at 90hz refresh rate
the game runs so bad on my 2070 super and 5800x3d 😢
That’s wacky, I’m on a Ryzen 5 3600X and RTX 3060 and am playing at high settings perfectly.
@@CaptainsRath dangggg what headset do you use? i’m using a quest 2 and i’ve heard people saying they demand more vram in most games or just run bad in nms vr. this is the only game i’ve been having problems with :/
@@xronos_exe I’m using the Oculus Rift, and yeah VRAM might be a part of the problem. I used to be on 4GB and it was rough, now my 3060 is rocking 12GB.
@@CaptainsRath ahhh yea 12gb is a large amount of headroom for pcvr lol. new gpu here i come, thank you good sir for the insight!!
Well your GPU is still really solid, and what it has 8GB of VRAM? That should definitely be good enough for NMS VR. You might have another issue that’s software related. Or maybe you are playing on an HDD?
Would be insane if they would update the absolute abomination that is the PCVR version..
I mean, I play on PCVR and got all of this footage from the PCVR version while recording. It isn’t THAT bad. But it definitely does need some optimization work.
@@CaptainsRath yeah it's terrible. PSVR2 just got the keys to the kingdom in the last update and PC users are likely never going to see a patch to fix the atrocious performance. This is likely the worst performing VR game I have. MSFS 2020 runs better which is saying something.
@@Thezuule1 haha yeah PSVR2 players are fr eating good, weird though that you have a better pc than mine but I’m running better. You shouldn’t be having any issue with your specs.
@@CaptainsRath I'm also not trying to, or willing to run the game at 1200p. I push my headset at 5400x2700 and it plays anything else without issue. MSFS, Asgard's Wrath, Bonelab, Alyx, you name it, they all run smoothly. This game on the other hand is a trainwreck.
I run the game at 1440p but yeah, it’s harder to run. The only reason I can see to the performance issues is that NMS is so big, but it can definitely get better optimized. Still, not that bad. It definitely takes some tweaking to get right though.
Also, a 4070 isn’t made for 4K VR. And now you’re pushing your headset well past 4K so performance issues are bound to happen.
