Enos Cabell posted:Maybe I'm confused then, I thought the issue was it being all stuttery when you look around? Your head movement looking around is all fine, the issue is with the ship's movement. So for example if you park somewhere with objects in view, where you're guaranteeing its showing a rock steady 80/90/120/144 what have you, and you just yaw your ship back and forth, back and forth, the objects outside your ship will sort of stutter step around because its only rendering all that at 60fps. Its really easy to spot once you notice it, because you can then go back and forth testing it by changing your headsets frame rate to be locked at 60/45/40, and force your headset to reproject every other frame and it will actually look smoother when you alt-tab back into the game and yaw back and forth again. Anything more than that someone with more knowledge on game engines would have to explain because I don't quite understand the full details of why that would happen myself.

Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I don't think that's happening to me, but I'll have to hop in and look for it. Sounds like an issue that wouldn't show up in a 60fps gameplay video either. Do you need to use something like Tray Tool to change the headset refresh rate? It's locked at 80 in SteamVR for me.

I have two theories. One is I can tell you for certain the way this game is developed, your cockpit is actually outside of the battle sitting in its own little space and not moving around. This prevents a lot of possible issues. Then there's a screen that pretends to be the cockpit glass, and it projects the image of whatever a ship model that's flying around inside the real battle would see. Its almost like you're remote-piloting the ship. Some part of the game engine code is messed up so that even though your local ship is being rendered smoothly, it isn't updating that external camera render to texture, and so you're not getting updates to the outside as much as inside the cockpit. Or something related to how often the ship's physics are being updated. My other theory was that its rendering the left and right eye with a frame of game step between them, which would cause you to get two different images when making large changes, but have things look mostly fine when flying straight or looking around the cockpit. However, I tried flying around with only one eye open in VR, and it still seems blurry as gently caress. So that seems to confirm it isn't that, but just an issue with the external render camera.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/457550/Bigscreen_Beta/ This is what I've used to watch 3d sbs movies in vr, it's worked well enough for me although I wish there was like, a steam workshop for new environments or something. It's free so I can't complain, the online part has worked fine for watching stuff with friends too. Also works for streaming 2d video content together on a big screen.

That's not what I bounced off of, though. What I couldn't take is just being in the goddamn ocean, with all this fuckin' ocean poo poo swimming around, just right there with nothing but water between you. I noped right the gently caress out like ten hours before you actually get to anything scary The first time I went diving in The Forest was freaking terrifying. I loved Subnautica flat, but I couldn't even get the game to work when I tried in VR. I suppose I can give it a try again, but I also am real turned off by gamepad control in a game like that.

Yeah i used tray tool, and then parked in the practice map, turned ASW off in the tool, yawed back and forth, then set it to force 45fps ASW (40 in the case of the S), and alt-tabbed back into the game and yawed. Doing that A B testing back and forth it was immediately apparently how much smoother it looked locked to 45 than running at a solid 90.

Honestly, I was pretty let down at first that there were no motion controls in Subnautica, but you get used to it.Foo Diddley posted:What I couldn't take is just being in the goddamn ocean, with all this fuckin' ocean poo poo swimming around, just right there with nothing but water between you. I noped right the gently caress out like ten hours before you actually get to anything scary There were heaps of moments in Subnautica that induced that kind of panic, but it was kind of cool to be able to tackle it head on, go "no, you've got this, just focus" and deal with it. I got it a lot while looking up at the surface, when I was deep underwater.

I would say its probably worth it at 50% off. It helps if you're already familiar with the game from 2D a bit, but they did put work into making sure to adapt the game for VR. Driving feels kinda loose and weird but is still fun? Boxing and Shooting are super fun, and its a shame that the Steam version lacks the PSVR's bonus modes for just boxing or shooting a bunch of things. Its a pretty polished experience for VR, only so many of those around right now. But ultimately how much money things are worth is tough to judge for other people.

HOLY poo poo thank you all for the awesome recommendations I'll be sure to check out all of them!Ott_ posted:Thirding Moss, it's a fairly traditional action/puzzle platformer with some super cute interactions between you and the eponymous mouse. Also check out Dirt Rally 2.0, get the GOTY version on sale for $15. It's a traditional game with VR support so you'll be looking at a big screen until the race starts. Superhot VR is a lot of fun but it's pretty short, and I haven't gone back to replay it. Get it on sale. OOH! Moss was recommended to me by my partner!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MICE AND RATS I really want to play that! I'll be sure to check out dirt rally too! I've been looking at Superhot VR for a while and I've wanted to try it out for quite a bit!

I'm finding Squadrons very disappointing on PSVR. The explosions and effects all turn into 2d sprites which is super immersion breaking. Also I think a Star Wars flight game is kind of a bad candidate for VR since all of the imperial ships have lovely cockpits with a tiny circular FOV that gain absolutely zero benefit from being in VR (There's not even any point to looking around! you can see everything that's visible to you by looking straight ahead). Gameplay-wise the game feels about par for the course for a PSVR title

(i already have the original game) The controls are god awful VR galaxy brain poo poo that made it pretty much unplayable, and afaik there is no way to map movement or driving to the analog sticks to make it a half way enjoyable experience. The only enjoyment I got out of it was how hilarious the awful melee combat looks with the realistic faces.

I've just been getting stuck into X-Wing Alliance with modernisation and VR mods, and it is EXACTLY what I wanted. It's a bit janky, but I'm ok with that because I'm thoroughly enjoying the gameplay. It really is a modernised X-Wing/TIE fighter. Thanks for the tip, Tip!

What the hell is Phasmaphobia? Let's see. Steam description: quote:Phasmophobia is a 4 player online co-op psychological horror where you and your team members of paranormal investigators will enter haunted locations filled with paranormal activity and gather as much evidence of the paranormal as you can. You will use your ghost hunting equipment to search for and record evidence of whatever ghost is haunting the location to sell onto a ghost removal team.

Cross post from the SW:SQ thread, but I’m running an Oculus Quest on the PC using link and Steam VR and it is the most frustrating poo poo. Inevitably, after a while, this game starts to stutter. Not a *ton,* but frequently enough that it messes with the experience. This shouldn’t happen, I’m running a 2080ti. Is the game that hosed or am I missing something super obvious and/or obscure?

Phasmophobia is perfect at £10, I really hope the huge positive reviews and good vibes mean they can keep improving it because it's an incredibly solid concept but needs a lot of polish.
