Ok so I think finally found out why the game runs so poorly in VR, and there is a fix.

TL;DR just manually update the material editor plugin to the latest version.

To do this launch KKManager either from the game files or from InitSetting.exe then clicking Manager on the lower left.
Then go to the Plugins tab and find Material Editor. Check its version, it should be 3.1.19 if you are using RX11.
Select it and double click on Open website under the properties on the right. Find HS2_MaterialEditor on the page and click it.
Unzip the downloaded file then go back to KKmanager, click on Open Install Location also under properties, find HS2_MaterialEditor in the directory and swap it with your freshly unzipped one. Close KKManager and reopen it then check the version and it should be 3.1.21
Maker and Studio are part of the same plugin and will be updated with it.
Boot the game and the performance should be the same as if there were no plugins running


I found this when trying to improve my FPS in VR specifically.
In the menus I had no issues with 90 FPS, but in H, it would plummet down to 20 FPS with a huge stutter every 3 seconds.
Something was cleary wrong because while steam vr said it took 8 to 9 ms to render a frame, FPS counter on my screen said it took 50 ms.
I tried changing every graphics parameter of the game and of steam vr AND of vive console, but while the steam vr render time changed a lot, nothing changed on FPS counter.
Then i saw a post incriminating FK&IK, Graphics, DHH and... Material Editor.
So first I tried running the game after disabling all the plugins (except FPS counter) and yeah I got 90 FPS with low settings.
I reverted to my usual graphics settings and still got 90 FPS so at least the game was not at fault.
Stutter still happened because of the garbage collector function of unity but it was much less frequent like once every minute or so, and much less noticable. In fact I only noticed because i kept looking at FPS counter, but with the helmet on I couldn't tell.
I had already tried running the game without Graphics and DHH and it didn't change anything.
So I tried running the game with ONLY Material Editor and its dependencies (and FPS Counter) and got 20 FPS.
So I tried running the game with everything BUT Material Editor and yeah 90 FPS even with Graphics and DHH.

So apparently in non-VR the game runs smoothly with Material Editor, but in VR it does not.
At this point I was ready to just give up on Material Editor, but as I have been using it for all of my characters thus far it was really inconvenient to just throw it away.
So I took a shot in the dark and checked if there was a new version of the plugin available. There was.
So I tried running the game with that version. It worked.
Basically the same FPS as running the game without it.
Props to the creator for making this new version.
We get to have smooth VR without making any compromise on quality or functionality.

After some settings fine tuning I'm now running the game with max graphics, graphics mod, 100% resolution in steam VR and ultra settings on vive, and I get a very stable 45 FPS which I'm absolutely happy with. I'm running this with a 3070 Ti, 3800X and 32 GB RAM on a Vive Pro 2.
I don't think RAM is too important for this game though. Cause in my tests FPS counter said it used only 2 GB while 20+ GB was available which I got mad over at some point. I mean if you're having so much trouble just use more RAM, you have so much available, and thought the game didn't have enough RAM allocated to it, but turns out it isn't that simple and the problem never was RAM in the first place.

Hope this helps fellow VR Users
so... what is the fix to get vr working correctly? you mentioned a plugin

We have now BetterRepack version R11, so I think you also need a complete new download/install for the game.
The Sideloader Modpack Studio (full name) is ONLY usable in StudioNEO - you can skip this if you only want the game. A base version of StudioNEO is included in BetterRepack.

In the torrent download list you see the files from R11
torrentR11-filelist.jpg

To download go to , choose your game on the left side and get the links for download.
I recommend torrent - it´s much easier to handle, although the download itself usually needs more time.

Splitted packs links you get also here on page one https://f95zone.to/threads/honey-select-2-dx-r11-illusion.53457/post-3565889

Recommendation: do a new install, start the new game first to see everything is working well. Afterthen u can transfer your personal stuff (UserData, MyMods...) from your old game.
Keep your old one as Backup until you´re satisfied with the new one.

Hi!
Two days ago I am trying to update my game via KKManager but not been possible. It says:
"Crash attempt. Tmed out trying to read data from the socket team"
Anyone have the same issue?

Say, is there an option, a toggle or a mod to automate scenes? Having to mouse scroll up in between every single orgasm is incredibly tedious. BetterHScenes plugin has settings for auto finishing & drinking & stuff which makes me think I'm missing something somewhere.

Same for Koikatsu? Having to press middle mouse button to reactivate auto is also annoying as hell.

Hello Everyone,

Firstly, i am really stupid but i've tried searching and trying my best to figure out how to play the game without censor.

So i downloaded the Steam Version 1-3 and it works however... i wanted the uncensored mod which i am reading is the betterepack stuff. So i downloaded part 1-15 and i extracted part 1 but game doesn't respond. So do i need to extract all 1-15?

I read something about only extracting part 1 and it'll work? I assume i need to extract 1-15 rar files?

I have everything in folder and not sure if i have to many conflicting files now?
I wasn't sure if having the steam version Honeyselect2libidoDX.ar 1-3 + part 1-15 betterrepack in the same folder is messing it up?

Thanks everyone, you guys are the best.. I really did do my best searching :/

Nope - for the Steam version you need another Modpack - it´s called now SB3.

Does anyone know if / how it is possible to make items not de-render when going off-screen?
I'm looking at my shaggais right now. If I make them bigger than the original, the tip of their cock disappears if I look exactly at the tip and zoom in, and it's getting kind of annoying. There's probably a bone that needs to be in view for that or something and I'll look for it, but I though i'd ask as well.

One more thing to say is that ONLY their cock disappears. Their legs (for example) can be viewed in any way without needing to see any other parts of their body

Cool, so if i am understanding, i should just delete the part 1-15 Betterpack .rar files i have now since that's it own standalone version of the game.

I should work with the steam version 1-3 + the SB3 downloads and then read the "how to handle download splitted packs" guide.

should I run the kkmanager to update the mods or is r11 good to run as is?
As R11 is released a while ago an update is a good idea.
I know people running update weekly.
Some big card creators (like Sykosis) always demand a fully updated game for their latest creations.

Anyway if you already have downloaded the BetterRepack (R11 from the links of this thread page 1?) there is no need to stack on the Steam version.
You also can install the BetterRepack following my "splitted pack guide", then you have the original japanese game with english translation.

Make a new install for BetterRepack and forget the Steam install. And you spare the download of SB3.

I remember last time I installed this, the updates from kkmanager took way longer than the repack itself, even with fiber.
