To, the "Hour Glass" issue from a previous reply. I am having the same issue. Previously with using VR, the micro freezes/stutters were way less in number.NOW, they are really ramped up. Only now I get freeze frames with the "Hour Glass" showing up for up to 2 seconds at worst and 1/2 second at least. I get them mostly after looking back to right(more so than back to left), I believe this MAY be due to having the clip board open on right side wing area? I also get the smaller freezes after using VOX,window for Name of transmitter is also on right side. The rare instances of looking left and getting the small freeze is only when I am looking left and expand the "Text Buffer" window. Yes, I paid attention! Wrote down every little instance and what I did just before the freezes! In 4 hours yesterday I had 37 of these instances. 21 longer than 1 second with 19 of those back to right view change. :uhoh  I dont want to Hijack the thread, but IF this is because of a resource issue What can safely be turned off, IE in background possesses in TASK MANAGER. Am I safe to experiment with questionable processes? Meaning turn something off(that IS needed) and restart computer so process restarts and just try again,but keep that one on? Get nervous about that sort of thing :uhoh

Just noticed my VR is no longer 3D.

Update: confirmed DISABLING auto VR swap sets the VR to 2D instead of 3D stereo.

Yep, I asked you about it in game. Thats just plain ODD. I certainly didnt have that issue. Was head tracking still working? I assume it was, as pretty sure you would have been typing it RODBUSTER style lol  I didnt even think that was possible. If you research this and find out what caused it, PLEASE post it. If it happened to you, we could all experience that at some point :rock Man,that would really suck :uhoh

Modeus, I think it suppose to be; disable mirror in the vr menu.

I just played with this... I absolutely do not understand what it does, but it does not stop the graphics swap from happening when I lift my headset. But I am finding tricks to keep it from happening with how I slide my headset off...

I also learned that while i'm in the black loading screen while switching, I lose VOX, which has made it nearly to the top of my list of reasons why I want to turn this feature off.

I get the hourglass whether I take the headset off or not.  It just randomly appears and freezes the game.  Certainly something that needs to be fixed since it happens every 2 minutes...

Disable mirror stops the VR mirror from updating. 

Press OK after selecting it.

What does this mean?  The VR mirror?  One option I see gets rid of 3D altogether, what does the other do?

The VR mirror is the window on your desktop that mirrors one screen of the VR headset.

So with it disabled, what displays on the monitor?

The VR mirror is displayed but it doesn't update. Disable mirror stops the VR mirror from updating.
