Half Life Alyx on Oculus Quest blurry

So I ran Half Life Alyx on Oculus Quest (link) yesterday and while the game was tons of fun, something was _off_ about the graphics. They felt way too blurry, and it didn't seem to matter at all what Video settings I chose (Low/Medium/High Fidelity) or what resolution I tried forcing in Steam. So here's my question: is there any way to force Steam VR to supersample like you do in Oculus? Also: does setting SS and resolution in Oculus Debut Tool translate to Steam VR? It was really odd because I played Boneworks before and it was crystal clear. It didn't feel just blurry, it felt like foveated rendering was super aggressive (I normally hardly ever notice it). Anyone had similar experiences in Half Life Alyx with Quest? I got Nvidia 2080 Super (don't think it's a matter of specs as I play Asgard's Wrath on High to Ultra without no problem save the odd stuttering).

Have you tried the eyeglass slider maybe you moved it by accident.

I fiddled with it before, but I think my headset straps must've gotten loose or something as when I tightened them last night, it improved a lot. HL's automatic resolution adjustment is still pretty aggressive and doesn't seem to react to Steam VR SS settings, which is a pity, but it feels much better now.

I feel the same way. The game is blurry. Like it has a thin layer of Vaseline all over it. The slider on my Quest is dialed in. I have an RTX 2080 Ti, Virtual Desktop at Insane bit rate and High graphics, Alyx at Ultra Fidelity. 

The game is blurry, need a fix asap.

Did you try running it over Link though for comparison?

I had the same problem on my Quest. I found it to be a bit clearer on Link but not by a lot. It was still a bit worse than playing on my old CV1.

Because you all should get rift s for proper usage of PCVR...
