No it's the fact that it uses Daz3D models as base for the characters and those were never meant for real time rendering, you can disable soft bodies, reduce hair and clothing sim GPU iterations and use lower resolution textures but you'll never be able to get around the fact the models have too much poly.
Can anybody help me out? I'm trying to figure out how to get character head items such as hair to load when i save a preset appearance. Its the only thing that dosen't want to appear. my saved character always ends up bald. i have the CUA manager plugin, v17, VaM 1.20.77.9

Then you have to load the CUA manager plugin as session plugin and load the hair item within the CuA options. Oh yeah, you have to do this everytime you start VaM.

The session plugin can be set as default and then when VAM starts it will be automatically enabled
If you pop open Task Manager while VaM is running poorly and go to the Performance tab, is the CPU maxed out? Or for that matter, your RAM? When I only had 16 GB of RAM VaM would outright crash trying to handle some scenes, not to mention running like dogshit when it was really close to the cap; I had to go up to 32 GB to make it run smoothly. But yeah, if the CPU is overloaded that could explain it too; doesn't matter how powerful the video card is if the computer can't ask for frames fast enough.

Yes, I have that error too. I hope not serious, because is essential to find missing ref packages. Here is log vam

You have to make sure that Steam VR is running and recognized your headset. If the Steam VR dashboard is visable on the goggles then VaM should be displayed as well. If your glasses only support a certain Hz then make sure the VR Software and Steam VR is set up correctly.
Never had problem before with steamvr. I solved it by launching VR directly through oculus without steamvr

the closer i get to the model the lower my fps gets and that's a real problem for VR. when the whole model is in vision i get 80 fps, when i'm so close that i can only see her face i get 35 fps. is there any fix for this?

Yes, the problem is the hair, as mentioned above. But the only solutions were either removing all hair from the model (no, thank you), or running the game through Virtual Desktop.
I used to have the same problem when running with ALVR, which requires SteamVR. Using VD this isn't a problem. If you use airlink, try to run without SteamVR, there is a slight chance that this will fix it. Also, try using Givemefps plugin and reducing hair multiplier. Maybe it can work for you (for me it didn't)
Dang i didn't think the hair was the problem... Well at least it's something i can fix, i was afraid it would be something on the engine or driver level. Thanks for letting me know. I'll test the differences between VD, Air link and Stream VR tomorrow.
You can also try using a plugin like

(link to plugin page on VaM hub) in order to reduce hair quality automatically in all scenes. Just lowering the number of individual strands and making the existing ones thicker can make a world of difference.
