Tried doing the Oculus Link... PC says it sees Oculus Quest fine but the Quest needs an update. Quest says it can't see the PC at all and that it is all the way up to date (version 12). Fully restarted the Quest and the PC app and no difference. What the heck? edit: using this USB-C cable, same results whether plugged into the native USB-C on my motherboard or the VirtualLink USB-C on my RTX 2080: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GGKYVSY edit 2: Just did a full factory reset on the Quest and then a full software update, still doing the same thing, the PC is saying "software version 188362318 (update required)" when the Quest is on 188362039 and says "no updates available no matter how many times I reboot it or reconnect it to Wifi.

Saints and Sinners is pretty good so far. My only complaints so far is the grabbing's a little touchy with where it actually wants your hand to be on something with things like holding a walker's head and it seems like getting the item stats window to appear is really finnicky.

I don't have an answer but I'd suggest asking on the Oculus Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/, the Oculus support staff answers questions if the community doesn't get a good answer.

In the Occulus software is the option to be in the beta client/PTC enabled? If so this breaks compatibility with the quest as the versions don't match.

I *think* its proximity to your face for stats window. It feels like when I shove it right up to my face its more likely to show me stats rather then turning it just right.

Are fonts on the OG Rift really bad normally? I haven’t used mine in like 18 months and put it on last week and wow it’s worse than I remember. I fiddled with the IPD a bit but couldn’t get anything not fuzzy.

It's the opposite like you said, beta needs to be off on PC. Fuckin' stupid that they don't give you any hint about it at all.

Yeah this drives me loving crazy. So does grabbing bullets and reloading the revolver when you're under any kind of time crunch. Gotta go nice and slow, which means you will die.

Put the gun's wheel in the ammo pouch area and load it from there, it's possible to fill it up from empty in about 2 or 3 seconds. More annoying is you can't grab an ejecting magazine from the 9mm pistol to put the excess bullets into your pouch, it has to land on the floor first.

fliptophead posted:Any recommendations for an on rails shooter like house of the dead or time crisis? Just straight up here is bad guys and cover to hide behind. Arizona Sunshine is pretty house of the dead rail shooter Crisis Vrigade is an attempt at time crisis VR but its really hard and kinda janky Tip posted:I've heard nothing but good things about Crisis VRigade, and it's only $10. Its not all good things, unfortunately. Playing the game well requires you to kinda play it in a specific, awkward way that isn't as fun as just doing things naturally. You often die from weird shots out of nowhere, its not very responsive or gives you much notice that you're about to get ventilated... it works but its very "tech demo with unity basic assets", and the difficulty is tuned so you basically have to turn on all the assists (no reload motions, stuff like that) to stand a chance of surviving to unlock the levels. There's only 3 levels but to unlock them you have to get really high scores, which with so little content is frustrating. You're gonna play that same first level over and over and over until you memorize it. fliptophead posted:I just saw on Steam that there is a sequel to Crisis VRigade which looks like a huge upgrade to the first one. I haven't played it yet but it does look much improved. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Feb 4, 2020 |

My usb cables for using Oculus Link arrived I didn't buy the 'standard ones', the Anker usb + Cable creation extension cable that lots of people were using, as they weren't less available in my country. I bought a 2m Aukey usb cable and a 5 mts active extension from CSL. They also were cheap. The Aukey cable would work on any usb port from my mobo, although the CSL cable is more picky and only wanted to work on the two USB 3.1 gen2 ports I have (I have a modern Asus mobo from 2019), not on the usb 3.1 gen1 ports. Although the real problem was the sound. I had video but no sound. I tried changing usbs, testing it without the extension cable, but no dice. I did have an oculus virtual headphones or whatever audio device on my mixer audio, I had it on my computer since I installed the Oculus software on my desktop but on the Oculus app it wouldn't even show the audio selector that supposedly I should have. In the end this 'hack' served for me as solution. https://forums.oculusvr.com/community/discussion/82444/oculus-link-sound-fix-workaround That fixed, the setup seems to work fine. I only tested stuff for 20 min like the Oculus Home thing, Moss, Echo Arena, but performance and latency seemed fine. I haven't tried stuff like Beat Saber on Expert.

In case anyone is looking for EU available alternatives that are working 100% (at least for me on USB 3.1), this is what I got from Amazon UK for about 20£ total: - AmazonBasics Double Braided Nylon USB Type-C to Type-A 3.1 Gen 1 Cable | 3 m, Dark Grey - deleyCON 5m USB 3.0 Extension Cable Repeater Cable with Active Signal Booster 5 GBit/s USB A to USB A Port - Black And I'll also add this: - UGREEN USB C Cable 3A 90 Degree Type C Quick Charge Cable(0.5m) that I use with the usual Anker 10k PD power bank - I previously bought a 30cm/1foot long cable but for some reason it was too short to reach both the powerbank at the back of my head and the usb-C port on the side of the headset.

Lone Echo is probably the best VR games I've ever played when it comes to immersion, and it having good graphics is certainly helpful. It's kinda weird that some of the best VR games - like Lone Echo or Robo Recall - are basically gen1 games.

Has anyone ever used WidmoVR? I ordered some plano adapters from them and they came today, looked up the instructions, watched the video, took one of the plastic rings on the Rift S lenses off, and the adapter won't fit. The other one snapped right in with that plastic ring still in place, so now I'm wondering if they changed something and that instruction video hosed me over.

I went to play Walking Dead today and I was suddenly really tall? I just noticed now that they turned on the crouch beta, but I seemed to be like a foot taller walking around, and crouching still lowered me but not as much? Anyone else having this? I was showing the game to my Dad for the first time and he noticed instantly that I seemed tall, too. Like I was towering over all the zombies. It's not completely game breaking but it felt weird.

My big beef with Lone Echo/Arena is that I wish your hands would be "solid" all the time, not just when you hold grip. It feels weird to have to grab the wall, push away and time the release, but oops released a split-second too late and now I'm not going anywhere, versus just pushing off a wall. Solid hands with the same grip function would feel so much better and realistic. Though to be fair, this didn't bother me until I played on the Index, as it has the stupid finger sensor gimmick instead of the Touch's distinct, precise grip button. The Index ruined Echo Arena for me, as throwing with it feels so awkward. The controllers shift too much, even when reasonably tight, to really work with the arm whipping you do in Echo. So ironically, the "you can let go!" Index gimmick makes me not want to let go, because the goddamn thing will shift obnoxiously. Tempted one of these days to buy a Quest just to have Touch controllers in Echo.

You'd end up accidentally grabbing things a *lot* if it worked that way, between moving around other players or accidentally grabbing something while you're moving quickly, it makes certain you're only stopping if your hand grabs something, or if your head hits something, which happens much less often

I'm with Lemming, there are trade-offs in every design decision and while the current system can be a bit janky, you aren't thinking in all the different ways it would be janky if your arms would be always 'phisically active', constantly getting stuck in places and pushing you by accident in unintended occasions.

A simple workaround could be to enable hand physicality by gripping empty air. That way you could push away from things without stopping if you hold grip a split second too long, and not get stuck on other things while moving.

That way you could push away from things without stopping if you hold grip a split second too long, and not get stuck on other things while moving. I have a huge amount of bias for this considering how long I've been playing, but as it is it's really important to pre-grab, where you intentionally grab the air with the intention of grabbing the next thing you touch, especially when you're moving really fast. I don't think you could effectively reconcile that with hands pushing physically away without grabbing I totally get where you're coming from, since the exact timing of letting go can result in weird throw off angles, but I think the way it is right now is probably the best balance between control and ease of use for Echo specifically

My initial testing of my Link setup was a bit weird. In the initial 20-min testing (when I received the package at home) it worked fine, once I solved the audio issue. Later in the day I finished work so I wanted to start playing Lone Echo for real. Here the problems started, in the form of random disconnects and the already famous 3 white dots. Cue more testing: I tried playing several times. I put the Quest on sleep and woke it again. I rebooted it. I closed the Oculus software and started it again. I found the Oculus service and restarted that. Still nothing. Well I got it to work a pair of times more but also would fail again in a few minutes. At some point it didn't want to work at all. Keeping the story short, I started to grow worried my cable setup wasn't adequate and would have to return them, but after dinner I rebooted the computer and I could play for 2 hours. So I think I validated my hardware setup with that, it was just the Link beta being a real Beta. I hope it improves with v13, but I think now we have to wait too for an update in the Oculus desktop app.

This kind of intermitted issues could indicate a loose patching job on either the USB port on your PC, or between the Link cable and the extension lead. Depending on the specs, it could be a resource consumption or overheating issue (so that the link breaks down when your PC become overburdened). Of course it could also just be a Beta issue, especially with the wide array of hardware PCVR is running on.

I think it's the latter option, I didn't touch the cable or contacts nor changed the usb slot when it finally worked well. I was playing Asgard's Wrath with all bells & whistles and no stutter so I don't think my pc is being overburdened. If it would have failed again my next test was going to be to remove the extension cable to remove a factor from the equation, but at least yesterday night, it wasn't needed. In any case I will play/test more on the following days... edit: although I was left thinking why restarting Windows fixed it but restarting the Oculus service was not enough.

Anyone got a suggestion for fixing a Vive Wand that's decided it doesn't want to track anymore? Worked fine earlier today, but just tried using it and it doesn't want to be seen. If I try to pair it again, it won't enter pair mode like it's not picking up the top menu button being pressed. It'll go to a blue untethered state, but from there the only way to pair is via USB cable. Best guess I can make with some quick Googling is a ribbon cable's worked loose inside it, but I really don't want to have to perform surgery on the drat thing if I can avoid it.

I was going to ask about Blade & Sorcery! So, I heard it's good, it's 'the' melee game for VR, same way H3VR is the game for guns. I know H3VR has the whole take and hold mode that seems interesting enough, really using the fact the game has so many weapons, and meat fortress. And Blade & Sorcery? Is just random combats in an arena or is there some kind of attempt of structure, or meta progression?
