Notes

Runs at 36 FPS, but with motion smoothing it goes to 72. You can also use the recommended settings, but setting them to the lowest makes the game more stable, with almost no stutters.

What is Motion Smoothing?

When a VR game can't keep up with the headset's refresh rate, Motion Smoothing fills the gaps by generating in-between frames from the last frame and your latest head movement. Head tracking stays smooth, but you may notice wobbly edges, ghosting on moving objects, or judder during fast motion.

Toggling it on the Steam Frame

Motion Smoothing is set in the settings, either for all games or for a single game. It has two options:

  • Off - never generates frames.
  • On - generates frames.

For your report, choose "Needed" if the game only felt playable with Motion Smoothing doing the work.
