changedHi! This is a pretty large VR update, so hold on to your butts. THIS UPDATE MAY REQUIRE A SINGLE STEAM REBOOT FOR VR. This is because the command line interface changed for the VR launch option and it might take a bit to propagate. A reboot will force this to happen.
fixedSDK UpdateThe game's VR SDK has been updated to the latest version of the SteamVR plugin. This has shown to be a considerable improvement in VR performance on mid-to-high-end machines. We were also seeing a small number of Oculus users having problems with a laggy right eye. Our initial testing has shown this to be solved as well. We are not using single pass stereo rendering yet, as it has been problematic when combined with some screen effects. But once this is resolved and this compilation option is enabled, you can expect to see a further increase in VR performance. It may be a little touchy, so if you see any problems with it whatsoever, please don't hesitate to post in the forums.
