I'm pretty sure Thief Sim VR has the option to lock to the horizon while inside vehicles. That usually helps with sim sickness, though the side effect is that it can look and feel a bit odd whenever your vehicle is on a steep incline.

My first live multiplayer match of Echo on the quest was like 80% obnoxious toxic teens. I did manage to regrab on the joust and fling myself at mach 10 deep into the enemy zone though, which was pretty funny

Not only was Alyx fantastic, the music was 100% amazing the whole way through too. Here's the full soundtrack, I timestamped to my favorite track (track titles are fairly vague but could be slightly spoilery if you expand them. The video itself is just the title screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WSvFIXoh5g&t=13347s The video doesn't do justice to how good the music is in the game, it's reactive and transitions through different layers as you fight.

Much more tolerable.

It felt out of place in VR, every time it kicked in it reminded me that I was playing a game. It also deflated a lot of the tension because I knew an area was safe when the music stopped. It probably wouldn't have bothered me in most VR games, but my overall immersion was so high that the non-diegetic music was jarring.

Oh yeah, another Echo tip: Jumping, ducking and stepping around your space IRL will affect the position of your Echo character, so you can "jump over" other players, like so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMKpCCQQFHc In this one, I was just behind another player and traveling at the same speed, but I physically stepped forward, which inched my character up enough to grab the other player and boost myself ahead. Cheeky as hell, but legal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nly8-av_ZQ And this defensive play was as satisfying as any shot I ever made  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giZXPurwR7A *grumble* I'm gonna have to buy a loving Quest eventually. Maybe I'll try it with the Index/Revive again and see if it stops pissing me off.

TBH my first dumb google cardboard experience was still one of the most memorable VR memories I have. Going from GVR to a real VR 6dof is super nice but going from never having seen VR to being in a space with whales floating around my head was something I won't forget. Unlike anything I'd ever experienced.

I never even used the cardboard thing so its pretty drat immersive, especially with headphones. I notice it's more "whoa cool" with headphones off vs "I have to stop trying to touch the kitty" Setup steamVR for WMR too and have been playing with that, the movement in Steam is much better than the MS "cliff house"

Unlike anything I'd ever experienced. Same here, when I got my DK1 and loaded up the Tuscany demo it just loving floored me. That whole period was just awesome cos realistically no one apart from turbonerds even saw it coming, and I spent a good few months having just the best time with folk visiting just to try it and each and every time they were floored. Literally people's only frame of reference was Lawnmower Man. One of my pals tried it on a coaster demo and all the way through he just kept saying 'nope, nope, nope' and when it was over he took the headset off, gave it me back and said 'Im' not having that' and never spoke of it again

maybe im built for VR because i LOVE roller coasters IRL and it was literally the first thing I downloaded when I got WMR to load. then again i have never felt motion sick in my life, i am not sure what it even feels like. the only time i get any weirdness is glasses related, if the VR set isn't on right or is pushing my glasses out of alignment a good 3D effect gets kind of dizzying for a second, so i'm assuming it's like that feeling all the time?

Yeah I feel like starting out on a 3DOF headset (RIP Monoculus Rift) really makes you immune to most stuff. Although I had the very same experience my first time in the Monoculus Rift. I was floored by just being able to look around and see things in real 3D, the lack of 6DOF didn't even play into it

There was something about the DK1 lenses, I am sure there are reasons they ditched them but they were not fresel and seemed huge and clear. God rays just weren't a thing, like I say I am certain there are good reasons (the chromatic aberration could suck) they moved away from them but they seemed really good to me.

Seems like the screechy young kids lose interest around level 4 or 5 and drop off completely by level 10 TL;DR as the other guy said just mute

My quarantine home remodel project has come along far enough now that I was able to set it up for VR and go for a test run. Went from a wee little 4x6 area in front of my couch to this: 15’x20’, it’s so awesome. Reaching the limits of being tethered at that point, although I’ll be moving my computer closer which will get me an extra 5’ or so of reach. I don’t think I want to dedicate the space to VR permanently, but at least for now, furniture shopping is pretty much on hold, so the room will remain completely empty. You can see one lighthouse at the far corner, and I’m standing almost underneath the other for this pic. Outlets happened to be directly beneath (like, the lighthouses are mounted on the same stud as the outlet) so that worked out great. Also, Fisherman’s Tale was really cool, just got out of that. And this space was JUST right for it.

Oculus enabled the ability to use USB 2.0 cables and ports with the Quest's Link functionality at some recent point. Previously USB 3.0 was a hard requirement. 3.0 is still recommended and presumably there are edge cases that could cause issues. Many are reporting success even with the included Quest charging cable with little to no difference from the official thing. If you have a Quest and a VR capable PC with a USB-C port or some kind of C->A adapter, it's worth a shot. SCheeseman fucked around with this message at 03:28 on May 14, 2020 |

Yeah, and it’s something I’ve talked about in this thread before. That being said, my monitor (which isn’t moving) is only on a 6’ cable, so there’s no reason I can’t just move the PC closer with a slightly longer cable and not even futz with pushing limits on either device. The layout is hard to describe, but it works.

I'm getting back into skyrim vr again, a big player in this playthrough is this combat mod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jikcRgLNr0 You siphon spells from the world, the living and the dead and combo the spells for more damage. You can also imbue the element in you to add element damage to your weapon and do a few different things. On top of this, VRIK has gesture based hotkeys, along with its holster system. I can switch between all kinds of spells and weapons without having to open the menu at all. VR is the future. Also VRIK has finger tracking, while I don't have the fancy controllers for full articulation I can still poke Lydia's forehead when she sarcastically mentions that she is sworn to bear my burdens.

Bandwidth-wise there shouldn't be a difference at all (with the bandwidth Link requires), maybe there's slightly higher latency with USB2. Both are still lower latency than wireless streaming so it seems odd that USB3 was ever a requirement.

Only using the cable that came with the Quest, it passes the test in the Oculus software, and will launch link perfectly fine. Picks up some of the VR compatible games put when I launch anything it just gives me a launch icon on the headset, programs load on the pc screen but then comes up with a HMD not supported. Hopefully its just teething problems being in beta, but it definitely works to some degree.

That doesn't seem like a Link issue. If Dash works, Link works. Are you trying to run SteamVR games? You have to enable unknown sources when attempting to run anything outside of the Oculus store.

I can run things fine from Virtual Desktop via Wi-Fi, but for example Dirt 2, which shows up in the Oculus dash, though its purchased through Steam, I select it, can see the loading screen on the HMD, loads on the pc but with a HMD not found error. I'll give everything a power cycle and try it again. Actually it seems to be getting stuck on Steam VR trying to get me to set its chaperone details, buts its getting hung up cause I obviously don't have base stations.

Some stuff in SteamVR will get pissy if you don't launch it from the SteamVR home app. I think Dirt Rally 2 is one of those games.

Elite Dangerous works fine if I load it from the dash, Dirt Rally 2 pulls up chaperone if I choose SteamVR version, and a does not support your headset error and loads in flatscreen if I choose the OculusVR option. Is there any workaround to bypass the chaperone setup? I can open up SteamVR through Virtual Desktop and it works fine, but through link its not even showing up in the Oculus dash. It's not a huge deal if i cant get it working anyways, just would be nice to have.

If you're using Link it shouldn't be asking to set that stuff up because it should see the headset as a Rift S, not an Index and know you're already using Guardian. Certainly it never asked me to set that up.
