The stability of Driver4VR is widely criticized, with frequent reports of bugs, crashes, lag, and tracking issues that severely impact usability. Setup can be time-consuming and unreliable, requiring constant recalibration and troubleshooting, and updates often introduce new problems rather than fixes. Overall, users find the software unstable and frustrating, making it unsuitable for seamless VR experiences.
- “Driver4vr is very buggy and is not worth the steep price.”
- “When I first purchased it, I had no problems for the first 28 hours; since then, it has been a buggy mess.”
- “I have used this program for over 9 months and have concluded that it is bug-ridden and needs serious work. Wii controller support is decent, but pairing sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, requiring restarting the program and in some cases the whole computer.”

The optimization of this software is generally poor, with significant performance issues and high CPU demands, especially when using webcams for full-body tracking. Users report wonky tracking, worsening performance over time, and recommend more powerful hardware or alternatives like Kinect for better results. Overall, it is deemed experimental and not well-suited for smooth, reliable use on mid-range systems.
- “I did try hand tracking and it works really well, but full body webcam tracking definitely needs a lot of work before it is optimized for quad-core users (e.g., i7-4770k). Deep learning requires a much better CPU to run smoothly.”
- “The tracing started off great, but over time its performance got worse and worse to the point where I have to consider other options.”
- “I found that camera markers and Kinect skeletal tracking are very demanding on your PC, so be aware of potential performance loss.”
- “Do not buy if you intend to use it with a webcam; this technology is still not optimized enough and the tracking is way too wonky.”
- “Actually horrible performance in SteamVR using webcam and Quest 2.”
- “I've owned this software before it came to Steam, and it worked decently with my method (camera markers). The performance wasn't the best, but I do have an i5 6400; DV4R is sadly very CPU intensive.”

The humor in the game often stems from its quirky and broken elements, such as the malfunctioning webcam tracking, which users find amusing despite the frustration. Players enjoy lighthearted moments, especially when using unconventional setups like Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons, making the experience entertaining in a casual, social context.
- “The webcam tracking is hilariously broken, but sadly I had to buy it to find that out, since there is no demo.”
- “To me it's not bad if you wanna wiggle your ass a little and sit with the lads, but when you do have these issues it just makes it funny or makes it look like you have a severe case of Parkinson's. Other than that, it's still good for the money, providing you have the equipment. For me though, it's a double-edged sword, but buy it if you really want VR full body—get the little bit of a sliver of it and you'll struggle to come off.”
- “People keep laughing at me when I tell them I use Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons for VR.”
