Title: Hourglass stutter
Post by: fd ski on October 07, 2019, 03:38:12 AM: When coming into range of about 1k of some cons i get this split second hourglass stutter in Oculus Rift CV1.
It isn't a problem in most cases, but when flying 262 it wrecks entire fun solution.

Anyone else had it ? Any fixes ?

Thanks,

Cmex was flying next to me one night when it happened and said he saw me warp really bad.

I get grey-outs occasionally that last for a second or two.
Seems to happen more when there are lots of players on.
I think it is my graphics card taking a deep breath.

Is that option in the oculus software?

No. It's an AH option. I believe in options/preferences/VR

I had this happen last evening, well close..meaning I think this is what you mean....The Rifts has some issues with hand Controller batteries and loosing "play area" settings. In middle of carrier landing>>>>>To Rift White Screen---you right touch control battery is low. Not very long after I had an hour glass stutter and screen ficked to RIFT HOME and back to game, was 2 seconds or so :headscratch:
