Penpal posted:Who ITT has a vive pro? What do you think of it? Pulling the trigger on one in the next day or so. Headset is good. Audio could be better. Mic is trash. Its pretty bomb proof though. Wireless if you end up springing for it is pretty awesome. Controllers. Eh, They suck but they've sorta grown on me for a lot of things. Though the G2 looks to be a way better value with better controllers.

Quest 1, currently tracking down why the gently caress my Link not work anymore. Might be that my USB3.0 port is underpowered, time to buy a PCI expansion card let's goooo. Because VD is fine for stuff like Alyx, but Squadrons is a no-go with the extra delay.

had a WMR (ACer), upgraded to a better WMR (odyssey), its good. I wish WMR was still around at least as a comeback to people claiming the entry price to VR is too high, now it's true you either need to let facebook record everything you do or shell out $800+ in addition to your pc

But it's only cheaper than the Index, it's still far away from the Rift S.

Wow, the guys who made Superhot were so proud of finishing Mind Control Delete they actually put out a patch for Superhot VR on the Quest! https://www.reddit.com/r/superhot/comments/j6qgly/superhot_vr_on_quest_quality_of_life_update_v1111/ Pretty fine.

Goon VR Poll status edit:definitive edition I was one of the 2 people voting Quest 2, as I have already sold my Quest 1 and the Q2 is coming in a week, it seemed silly to vote any other thing. As this is is a ~hardcore~ gaming forum, in an ~enthusiast~ VR thread, I guess it makes sense for more people having Index than Rift S, even if in Steam is the opposite. Perhaps the most surprising is the few people having Vives, although it's easily explainable with the Index owners, they were the ones who upgraded from Vive to Index when it was possible. Comparison:  edit: I was right, vive + index ratio is actually the same in both! : 36%. It just distributed in a different way. The final point, the Quest, where we can guess that a fair number of people don't connect it to the PC, and/or like someone said some days ago, maybe Valve is still not detecting them accurately. I also have read somewhere that Quests connected to VD are detected like Rift S. That would be interesting. Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Oct 7, 2020 |

Happyimp posted:Is there a date for the g2, and is it too late to pre-order? I was thinking about buying it, and selling either that or the index to me friend depending on which one I liked the best. I don't think they have a date yet, but this quarter seems likely. I am assuming giving its price it probably not going to be ridiculously hard to get, but who knows with manufacturing.

I'm rocking a Rift S primarily, but I also have a Quest 1 which is going to my brother as soon as the Quest 2 arrives. I'd say my time is split 75% on the RiftS and 25% on the Quest, most of my VR time is in sims.

VD is still somewhat niche (inside a niche), you need to sideload it, etc. I have seen VD on the front page of the quest store basically ever time I open the drat store, so I think it might not be as niche as you think. VR is already so niche and the users are pretty much still the kind of people who are going to sideload stuff if they know its possible.

I'd love to see the specs of the headset. If it's anything like shown in that video it seems like it could be a wide-fov wireless headset.

Man I just factory reset my Quest1 to give to my friend before my Q2 arrives and it's such a bittersweet feeling. I'm really excited for the Q2 but the Quest was such an eye-opening experience that I have some great memories of this thing. The first time I loaded up Moss was something else altogether. Just amazing. And to be quite honest, during Covid lockdown my most used app was Wander -- I really really enjoyed taking tours of foreign cities when locked up at home. Great device. Can't say enough good things about it. That said, I took my DAS off and reverted back to the factory strap and it immediately gave me a headache within 15 minutes so I'm hoping it feels better for them than it did for me. I'm also giving them the cheap AliExpress halo ring I have in case they like it more than I did.

Got a Vive Cosmos Elite but voted "Other" since it's not a Vive or Vive Pro Someone on Reddit suggested pulling the foam out that meets up against your forehead and either leaving it off or replacing it with thinner foam. I can't explain enough how much this has improved picture quality and killed light leak.

I remember the revelation that if you put certain types of see through plastic behind the lenses it acted like anti aliasing, and I was all over that, ripping poo poo apart to try it, it did work but  at the thought of it now.Me and a pal had a DK1 each and it was just the best, the general public had zero clue this poo poo was even possible and I had a great summer showing it people, mainly on rollercoasters ha ha. It was just a joyous time, hacking games up in tridef to make them sort of work, my pal would ring me and just say 'what about bioshock?' and we'd spend the day on the phone making it work. The reactions I had that summer ranged from a grown man crying a bit because this was his childhood dream, right through to a guy who just kept saying 'nope, nope... nope' all the way around a coaster demo, then when it was over he took off the headset, handed it me and said 'I'm not having that' and he never mentioned it again, ever

I tried asking in the Star Wars Squadrons thread but didn't end up with an answer. Is anyone running a RIFT S for this game and purchased via steam? I'm getting horrible performance out in VR and I'm wondering if it's a steam Oculus app to steam vr app to game issue. Or if this game just hates the Rift. If you are running this on a RIFT S but didn't buy through steam, is it working fine for you? My system is pretty good, I don't suspect it's a system issue at all. But just in case here is my rig specs i9-9900k @3.60GHz 16 GB ram RTX 2700 Super M.3 SSD This is the first game I have run into performance issues with. I did build the rig about a year ago. Is my video card already showing it's age?
