I think a big difference is that it doesn't seem like enemies ever drop shotgun shells but they do pistol clips.

Tip posted:If you use it more you'll get more ammo. Those loose shotgun shells are really easy to miss though. I ran it dry at every opportunity and got sod-all ammo for it. Meanwhile I drowned in pistol and SMG ammo.

I'm having a hard time with the blur while using the Index. I've been moving it up and down a lot since it seems like a vertical position issue, but that isn't really working. I've tried all the IPD positions too. Any common issues or fixes? Stuff in the distance in Alyx is pretty rough. Maybe that's just the quality of the screen? Also, the refresh rate was set to 90 by default. Should that be at 144 (or whatever max was)?

Gort posted:Just don't bother upgrading the shotgun. It's a fine weapon with no upgrades, for the dozen-or-so shells the game will give you for it. The auto-loading upgrade is actually resin well spent. The rest for it are completely worthless though.

Alyx has a pretty aggressive auto-resolution feature so it might be cutting that down to keep the framerate up.

I'm running 144fps and like 126% scaling and alyx is gorgeous on my index. The game yells at me when I turn it on but I've got a pretty beefy PC (1080gtx, i9 and 64gb RAM).

I think the stock Beat Saber songs are alright but the charting especially in the mod songs can be a huge step ahead in terms of replicating dance moves in the medium of slashing up blocks with laser swords.

Alyx has a pretty aggressive auto-resolution feature so it might be cutting that down to keep the framerate up. Noticeable in the distance in Alyx. Specifically the scene right away with some people sitting in a truck through a fence. Faces were muddy and blended in with their knit hats. Alyx said it's at High Fidelity and I have a 1070. I don't know anything about how the tech stuff is working in VR. Feel like it's there even in the SteamVR home looking up at the steam friends though. I also tried Ultimate Fishing Simulator and maybe it's just janky since it seems like it, but there's absolutely no way I can see the bobber once I cast. Beat Saber doesn't have nearly as much fine detail, but that seemed fine I think.

Alyx has dynamic supersampling / quality settings based on performance and I’m afraid a 1070 is going to be a little low end for an Index on that game. Set the headset to 80hz and lower your supersampling a bit, overclock your GPU, should help a little.

Make sure you have your Render Resolution set to 100% in the settings. Start SteamVR, click on the three bars in the SteamVR desktop notification window thingy, open Settings and in there set the Render Resolution from "Auto" to "Custom" and drag the slider to 100%:  You can also change this setting from the in-VR settings menu if you prefer that. The "Auto" setting can sometimes apply downsampling if it at some point thought your performance was too low, which will lead to a blurry image. That said, a 1070 is really pushing it for "high end" VR games. You definitely shouldn't attempt to go above 90Hz with that, except maybe for really graphically simple games.

By any chance is there a way to reset the thumbstick angle calibration? my left thumbstick got set at .7 degrees which admittedly isn't much, but since I got a replacement controller I'd like to set it back to 0 degrees if possible.

hhhat posted:but isnt it a rhythm game where you swing your pretend lightsabers at blocks that fly at you and get sweaty or whatever I don't count it as a rhythm game since it doesn't score you on timing, but otherwise yes, it's that. I'm not the game's biggest fan but I'd still agree that it's worth at least trying even if it doesn't sound like your sort of thing. hhhat posted:But what if there's one that isn't rhythm, is there like a duck hunt or something out there? If you're looking for games where you shoot things in a gallery you're in luck, because that's probably the most oversaturated genre in VR. It's hard to point out ones that stand above the rest, though. H3VR is beloved of gun nuts and people who want incredibly accurate simulations of reloading assault rifles but impenetrable to anyone else. On the more arcadey side I guess Robo Recall would still be the go-to recommendation?

I think Beat Saber is at its best when you don't worry too much about the score and just go with the flow. Less mechanical forearm swaying and more this anime girl.NRVNQSR posted:H3VR is beloved of gun nuts and people who want incredibly accurate simulations of reloading assault rifles but impenetrable to anyone else. On the more arcadey side I guess Robo Recall would still be the go-to recommendation? I'm neither and I think the game's great. After many, many years of playing as spec ops badasses and demon slayers, fumbling the most basic encounter because you can't manage to reload a gun or aim half-way decently under stress is a fantastically fun challenge. Add more maps (and a year worth of polish) and the game could be brilliant. Also, yeah, Robo Recall is solid.

Add more maps (and a year worth of polish) and the game could be brilliant. Nothing more embarrassing than that first moment of "Why is my gun not shooting, oh gently caress I ejected the magazine  ". There's actually a new outdoor Take and Hold map being worked on that looks really impressive in the early builds that've been shown off, and it's designed to take advantage of all those nice long-range rifles that're pretty worthless in the current close-quarters map.

I gotta say that if Beat Saber really isn’t your thing but you wanna do some sword stuff, Until You Fall is awesome and makes you feel awesome and can be a hell of a workout, too.
