The (Incomplete) Ultimate Rec Room Performance Guide

Howdy! Tired of low FPS? Sick of ghost arrows? Wanna invalidate your ability to say you died to lag? Well here we’ll be taking care of those issues.
Disclaimers: Finding universal settings is hard. If you wanna be safe about it, you can try changing 1 or 2 settings at a time to make sure nothing breaks performance even more for you. Oh and uh… don’t try to relay any of this from memory to people in public lobbies, actually send them this guide. It’s too easy to accidentally screw something up.

Right now this guide will only cover PCVR (excluding WMR) and NVIDIA GPUs because I really procrastinated with this, but I’ll update it periodically with info for more headsets and eventually AMD GPUs. Standalone guide will also come later.




Onto the guide:
(Currently complete, NVIDIA GPUs, Oculus PCVR, SteamVR, Windows settings, Rec Room in-game settings)

Just to get rec room settings out of the way real quick - Anything enabled under visuals will reduce performance, outfits are laggier than you realize, dryad skins cause more drop arrows, blocking people in squad runs can make a noticable difference, and looking down when you spawn in can reduce load times slighty.

Actual guide:
Keep Rec Room closed for the entirety of this (Oh and use the Steam version of Rec Room, it runs better than the oculus version and has better latency. If it doesn’t work for you, it might be because you have Oculus Link improperly set up)

(NVIDIA GPU owners)
First thing you’ll wanna do is update your GPU with Geforce Experience https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/


 Open Nvidia Control Panel
Under "adjust image settings with preview", Enable "use the advanced 3D image settings", then press "take me there"

In global settings, set:
Anisotropic filtering, application controlled
Antialiasing FXAA, off
Antialiasing gamma correction, on
Antialiasing mode, application controlled
Antialiasing transparency, off
Background app max framerate, off
CUDA GPUs, If you have multiple GPUs, select your better one
Low latency mode, off
Max frame rate, off
MFAA, off
Power management mode, prefer maximum performance (Name may vary on certain computers)
Texture filtering Anisotropic sample optimization, on
Texture filtering negative LOD bias, clamp
Texture filtering quality, performance
Texture filtering trilinear optimization, on
Triple buffering, off
Threaded optimization, on
Vertical sync, use the 3D application setting
VR pre-rendered frames, 2-3 (Higher number = Better performance with worse CPUs, but slightly higher latency… 4 for awful CPUs)



Now go to program settings
Press add, and select recroom.exe
If it doesn’t show up in the add list, launch rec room, and close it after you get to the account select 
Then do all these settings:

Anisotropic filtering, application controlled
Antialiasing FXAA, off
Antialiasing gamma correction, global setting
Antialiasing mode, application controlled
Antialiasing transparency, off
Background app max framerate, off
Low latency mode, off
Max frame rate, off
Power management mode, prefer maximum performance
TF Anisotropic sample optimization, on
TF negative LOD bias, clamp
TF quality, performance
TF trilinear optimization, on
Threaded optimization, on
Vertical sync, off
VR pre-rendered frames, 2-3 (4 in the worst cases)

Now Apply, and you can close control panel


Now press the windows key, and search “Choose power plan”
It should be the first result, open that and select “High performance/Ultimate performance” or whatever it is for you.

(Oculus users)
Now for oculus tray tool
You can install it here https://www.apollyonvr.com/oculus-tray-tool
Once it's installed, open it it, go to game settings, set default ASW mode to off, and OVR server priority to Above Normal
Then next to profiles, press "View and edit"
Select rec room (make sure it's the steam version if you have the oculus one installed too)
Set ASW mode to Off
CPU priority to above normal
Then press OK

Close profiles
Now go to the "tray tool" settings tab
Enable start with windows, and "Hide from alt+tab" (optional)

Then go to power options
Set Power plan on start to "High performance"
Set USB selective suspend to "Disabled"

When you minimize tray tool, it'll just hide itself, but it won't close



Now go to your file explorer, then to your "C:" hard drive
Then Program Files > Oculus > Support > oculus_diagnostics
Right click on OculusDebugTool.exe, properties, compatibility, and enable "Run this program as an administrator, apply, then OK
Now make a shortcut of OculusDebugTool.exe for your desktop
Now open the exe
Disable (PC) Asynchronous Spacewarp
The shortcut is because you need to repeat this step whenever you restart windows



Now for SteamVR settings
Open steamVR
On the desktop windows, press the 3 bars on the top left of it, then developer > developer settings
Press "enable direct display mode"

Then go to regular steamVR settings
Set "advanced settings" to "show"
Go to the developer tab
And set current openXR runtime to SteamVR


Lastly, the obscure Windows stuff

Press win+R, type “msconfig”, and enter
Go to “boot”
Then go to “advanced options”
Enable “number of processors”, and set the box to the highest available number
Then press “OK” and close that window, Apply, and exit without restart


Now open windows settings (Win key + i)
Go to gaming, Game Mode, and disable Game Mode


Then go back, and go to system. Scroll down to About, and then press “Advanced system settings” and a new window will open.
On that window, go to “advanced”, and under performance press “settings”

Under Visual Effects, select “Adjust for best performance” or “Let windows choose what’s best for my computer” if the first option is too daunting to you.
Then under yet another “Advanced” tab, select Adjust for best Performance of Programs.
And then there’s Virtual Memory. Press change, disable “Automatically manage paging file size for all drives” and make sure your C: drive is selected.
Now press “Custom size”
If you have 16GB of RAM, set both initial and maximum size to 10000 (10 thousand)

If you have 8GB of RAM, set both to 5000 (5 thousand)

If you have 32GB of RAM, that’s already overkill for VR so lucky you

Then press “Set”
“OK”
And restart your PC



The end for now
