The Unspoken Stuttering/Lag

[averycblack]

Not sure if this should go into the other issue or not, I just made a new one to be safe.
I got The Unspoken recently, and even with the latest version of Revive (1.0.5) I am getting missed frames. This does not change with any graphic settings within the game (whether it is low to high) although I do get less missing frames at the lower settings. Attached is a screenshot(the second is because I accidentally covered up part of the first) of what the performance looked like. Super sampling is at 1.0(default)

I have also noticed that if I restart the game or SteamVR multiple times, the problem gets worse very quickly, to the point where even with low settings it's a slide show basically. I don't think that has to do with Revive though as it effects the main menu room thing as well.

System:
I5 6600k @ 4.5GHz (issue occurs at stock speeds as well)
8GB 2133 DDR4
2 GTX 970s

Unfortunately both The Climb and The Unspoken are CPU bottle-necked and rely heavily on tracking prediction which Revive doesn't support yet. It will probably require an update in OpenVR before it can be fixed.

That's unfortunate. Unspoken was the main reason for setting up Revive but Super Hot was fantastic so thanks for that and keep up the amazing work!

It'll be fixed eventually, but it may take a while though.

Oh that's to bad, it's a great game as well. Thanks for trying at least and doing what you can.

One workaround you can try is going to your SteamVR settings, go to the developer page and enable "Always on reprojection". That should reduce the CPU bottleneck, but increase tracking latency.

Remember to turn it off again when you're done playing The Unspoken.

yes this works much better now. hope in future this will be fixed unspoken is really a main reason for vr :D but thanks for the workaround awesome job.

ah im such a troll havent seen the new release (-.-) i try this today and give feedback thanks for the fast release :)

A couple of quick questions as I'm having the same issues with an almost identical spec machine. How do I change the supersampling, and if I increase my RAM from 8GB to 16GB should I see a notable performance improvement? Just FYI I did need to turn off all AntiVirus software to get a descent improvement previously.

@mikegomak

hey bro just install openVR then u can change the supersampling when u are in menue of the vive headset. im not shure but this can not be bad if you upgrade your hardware setup. i give later feedback i also upgraded cpu and gpu i try it with the latest fix.

[Chupacabra1989]

ok i tested it and the performance is much better now it is playable but not perfect. thank u for the update :) btw i disabled supersampling in openvr (set back to 1.0) and enabled in unspoken options ingame high grafics. ( hamburger button on vive controller). also disabled reprojection it works really much better now. hope this help someone and sorry for my bad english lol.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to achieve any improvements with any of the solutions proposed here :( I was waiting to buy the Unspoken until this release so that the issue would be fixed; woops :p Unspoken was really the game that convinced me to buy VR so it's definitely sad that the wait will be longer. Not blaming though, I really appreciate that anyone has put so much charitable work into making any of these games available to the Vive community. Thanks for all your efforts!
