L.A. Noire juddering on Quest 2 (Steam)

I bought LA Noire Case Files on Steam and I am using my Quest 2 using the official link cable. I'm pretty new to VR so I launch the link in the Q2 UI and then launch Steam as a new app or view and from there I launch Steam VR and then I launch LAN.

The issue is the graphics judder so much it makes it unplayable. The judder shows up as showing two of everything briefly as I look around. If I stay perfectly still it looks normal (but a character walking will look juddery) I have a 3700X and 6800XT so it isn't performance related. The preview on my desktop screen looks fine. If I close one eye it still does it.

I think it's the Q2 refresh rate or vysnc related. I googled and came across settings for removing Asynchronous Projection in Steam VR settings (as an LAN app-specific setting) which hasn't helped much but there is also legacy mode and aahhh.

In the Q2 UI I can't seem to change the refresh rate either. Can I force the refresh rate to change. It seems to be doing 72 but apparently the headset can do 90 and I read that it can do 120?)

Are there any other tricks to change refresh rate or vysnc etc I can try?

Check your Steam VR supersampling settings. If that's set too high it'll cause framerates to drop.

Bit of a tangent but is this actually a decent game? I really enjoyed the original back on the Xbox 360.

The VR version has a subset of cases of the full game, but it's a fully fledged VR experience. The coolest thing is actually being inside the game world - it's an amazing feeling to be almost physically present in locations you have previously only seen in 2D. The facial capture works surprisingly well in VR too. If you liked the original and you like VR you'll like this.

Yeah that sounds really cool. Will need to grab a copy.
