Not answering for OP but I checked it and "Henna Haywire/Hannah Hays" wasnt in there...

I wasn't suggesting rendering on both. I pretty much new my hardware is a few years from being able to do that lol. What I had in mind was having a ladyfriend where the headset (probably backwards) while performing on me with possession of the female model activated. More realtime sync of movements
That's awesome.
They need to add blue tooth motion capture devices that can be paired with the Quest.
I was thinking the same... I got a bunch of old phones with sensors in them and bluetooth, some double sided tape, a seemingly endless supply of girlfriends-for-a-week, and VaM.... It would be really nice to have that happen... Right now I'm actually envisioning a patchwork shirt with pockets stitched into all the relative control points... I'd never come out of VR again
You do know a lot of your complaints are because VAM 1.X is an 'old' version which is no longer being updated and all work is being put into the newest version with the latest version of unity, right? You're pulling support for exactly what you want...
You should try to implement it for yourself if you think this is a simple or easy thing to do. Download Unity or Unreal Engine, they're free, and import some DAZ assets and set it up. It's simple, so add it?

Try running two instances of mechwarrior at the same time and let us know your results... basically what you're doing while running VR. I am currently using a 3900x locked @ 4.3ghz on all 12 cores, 1080ti +45 +450, 32gb 3200mhz RAM with VAM installed on a 1TB m.2 drive (with indexing off and confirming correct read/write speed with crystaldiskmark) and i still get low frames in certain situations. FPS in VAM ***TANKS*** from cloth physics, hair and lights. Any poor performance I get is usually to blame on the user created content (bad optimization on clothing, hair or plugins). Like someone said above, if it's so easy then implement it yourself. Thanks for the tip enabling that setting in the boot config. I'll try it next time I launch VAM. I suggest changing your physics rate to 45hz/1 or 90hz/2, 2 lights in scene set on Spot *MAX*, lowering hair multiplier count and increasing width, turning off physics on scalp based hairs and avoid using clothes with physics. Good luck
Thanks for taking the time to explain - have you tried talking with Meshed directly? He's pretty active in the discord and I've had quite a few discussions with him about features where he takes the time to explain why he's made the decisions he has. That being said, the amount of physics in VAM is insane + it's also VR. It shouldn't be compared to a pancake non-sim game - they can get away with faking so much stuff for optimization. VR alone, let alone with lots of physics sim is hard to run well and optimize for. As the above user mentions though, basic models are relative cheap to run, it's all the assets being produced by the community that are not optimized which really kill FPS.

Again, physics. Surprise. On, my system, most scenes perform better with physics on 3. 80hz is the optimal setting I can achieve at the moment, but would always want to try and keep it at either an even fraction of, or even multiple of 80hz, which is the refresh rate of my Rift S. Previous Rift model was 90hz, you would want 45, 90, 180, 270, 360 on that. When I drop to 60 the physics are alright. 40 looks terrible. 240hz looks amazing but its slow mode. All the other settings besides render scale have almost no impact on my fps. my physics frame time is I think 12 or more ms. Everything else maxed is usually under 4 ms. So everything else is waiting 8 ms for the physics to complete, when if CUDA cores and physX were enabled, physics would likely be the first thing done. CPU resources would be freed up by all the processing on the thousand plus cores of your nvidia GPU. Cores that are just sitting dormant while the rest of your GPU does it's thing. The PHYSICS is everyones number one performance problem, because meshedVR has CHOSEN to ignore it. I will not give someone money who ignores the biggest problem. I'll find someone else to give my money to. Plenty of pieces of software have gone unfinished for the same types of reasons. I'm just making it clear to meshedVR, and anyone else who wants to inform him, what the consequences of his inability to make a simple choice because he has feelings about endorsing one or the other. nvidia works. AMD is broken. Go with nvidia.
This is something that has previously been asked for. The reason it's not being asked for so much is because the people who knew that was the problem and nothing else would fix the problem just quit asking and went to SFM or others. We ALL need to pester the shit out of meshedVR and demand and demand and demand this. He seems pretty determined to make the wrong choice. When we pull financial support from him, we can make the choice for him.
I was complaining to him directly in the discord and he told me point blank no way. So, yeah. I don't support him anymore.
Yeah, my directories are trashed. I have about 10 of half my morphs showing. If I type "breast" into the morph search, there's something like 200 pages of morphs. Probably shouldn't be more than 50 lol During game time, I do a lot of reverse engineering of all the various artists scenes to assimilate what they have going on into my skillset for when I begin creating all original scenes. VaM, and unity in general, needs to learn some organization. What a mess. I really think unity was about the poorest option out there. I think the decision likely hinged on the ease of importing the free genesis model into it. And even then, I have no idea why he chose gen2 when gen8 has been around for years. Gen 6 was pretty good, too. Gen3 seems like it had way more pre-existing content than gen2. It literally seems like gen2 was the poorest choice. I really hope VaM 2.x is not a big disappointment.

And this is why VaM user base isn't 10x what it currently is. Moronic to kill your own project over some petty ideals. Starting to feel like it's time to switch an alternative before I get too invested in a dead end project. What a shame
