It's always worth throwing a magazine at the ammo terminal, because the type it'll give for each ammo type is random (not per use, but per terminal). What you really want to hope for are silver-cased 9mm/45 P+ ammo, or the white-tipped ammo (incendary+Armor Piercing).

Another point on this is if you have a magazine or speed loader in your hand and press up on the touchpad, it ejects a single round so you can pick it up and see what type of round it is on your hand menu. e: Luneshot posted:Yeah. I love Take and Hold and I do recommend it, but the absolute nicest thing I can say about it is that it's "obtuse". I remember being annoyed about having to grab bullets/shells one at a time on loose ammo weapons, then saw that you can hold multiple rounds at once while watching a T&H run, so I went looked for how to do it. The video that told me how? The devlog that introduced the loving feature.

This poo poo is basically why I bounced off and uninstalled H3VR and why it's the only VR purchase that I actively regret. Everything is convoluted and nothing is explained.

Learning the trick with loose ammo ( loading multiple into your hand ) will *save your rear end*. I love H3Vr but its an arcane game for shooter idiots like me. I am sorely disappointed right now to learn that No Man's Sky is basically half broken in vr since origin update. Amazingly bad reprojection issues, and performance issues.

Just an anecdote, but I've had 4 non-techy people in the past few days who have expressed intention to get a VR headset either for themselves or as a gift. I've convinced people to buy a headset before, but usually other enthusiasts. I think Quest 2 might be the thing that breaks VR into the mainstream, something that has been said before I'm sure, but it feels different this time (also probably something that has been said before!).

My parents are in their 60s and they both pre-ordered the Quest 2. Then my mom bought me one, and now she's buying one for my nephew so that they can play VR games together. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be huge.

Kikas posted:drat, does Vertigo Remastered have some sort of dampening on your hand movements? I just got the shock stick and swinging it was like i was underwater, couldn't hit anything with any force and died 3 times to the the first enemies. If you attack from the back, it's a one-shot whack with the baton. My recommendation would be to check a video on youtube and see if your baton movement works roughly the same and, if not, file a bug report. I never used the baton after the first boss, but I also never had any issue like this when using it throughout the first 30-45 min. It does have weight in a system with physics, but never felt sluggish to me. Guns have projectiles, too, but you can toggle a hitscan modifier if you don't wanna wait for the projectiles to travel over to enemies a bit further into the game. The devs are active on the Steam forums, if you still have issues. I just took a video and am trying to find a good host for you to compare. It feels like it has maybe 1-2lb of "weight" but hardly like it's underwater. Video here. Looks a bit strange because I went from an 80 FPS source to a 60 FPS GFE recording, but it's pretty smooth in-game and there's only maybe 1/8-1/4 sec delay between swinging my hand and the baton following the movement. Is your baton movement smooth, but delayed quite a bit behind hand movement? On second thought, maybe I'm not the best person to be giving advice. I did lift the Rift S headset cable over the baton at the beginning so I didn't cut it.

NMS was the game i most wanted to play when i got my first VR headset. It’s also the only game i’ve bounced off of playing in VR and now just play pancake style. The sense of scale is of course amazing but i just can’t deal with the cumbersome UI and menus in a game where you spend a significant amount of time in them. Too frustrating.

H3VR is getting a more complete tutorial soon, but there are some good youtube videos that go through it, and generally I think a 5 minute YT is better than a 15 minute tutorial level. But I really just want a T&H large-scale map.

Is the Quest 2 to PC link (dev stuff, not game tethering) super finicky about the cables being used? I don’t have many USB3 to USB-C cables lying around so I could just have bad luck.

Not really, in my experience? It should work fine over even a USB2 cable as long as it carries data and isn't purely a charging cable. Make sure you're enabling data transfer in the headset menu every time you plug in.

It’s entirely possible that I’ve only been using charging cords. Iirc they were all Index controller cables so who knows. I’ll try with a few of the other cables I have lying around and we’ll see what happens.

Yes. I had 2 different cables that said they were USB3 and turned out both were not (I went into the amazon comments on both and discovered many/most people were having the same issues on both brands). I ordered new ones that were reviewed well and they've worked great. That said, cruddy cables should still work in USB2 mode, it's just slower. Unless they are charging only, of course.

See what the bitrate. I have a couple Oculus PCVR games that lag crazy using the link but so far they are just stuff with cross buy.

I've been playing Thrill of the Fight as a little workout, doing 2 matches a night. It really kicks my rear end, I'm exhausted and drenched in sweat at the end, but it's only 20 minutes so I was curious how much of a workout it really is. So I did a little research about shadow boxing, which led to a bunch of stuff about how shadow boxing is great for HIIT (high intensity interval training) because it uses your whole body and really gets your heart rate up, which led me to researching more about HIIT in general. I found this article which had some interesting bits: quote:The findings were telling: Less intense training programs with shorter intervals carried the least health benefits, while interval training studies reporting the greatest increases typically used longer (three- to five-minute) intervals. Playing two matches in TotF is 6 rounds, each round is three minutes with a one minute cool down in between, which is pretty much the perfect HIIT regimen. And in 20 minutes you can match the overall calorie burn of continuously exercising for 50 minutes. Not bad! I also found a cool site where they do metabolic testing on VR games to compare the exertion to other activities. https://vrhealth.institute/portfolio/thrill-of-the-fight/ Playing TotF averages out to be equivalent to rowing, jogging 6 miles per hour, competitive soccer, or bicycling 14-16 mph. At it's peak it hits the top of the chart with activities like sprinting and running up stairs. If you weigh 100 pounds TotF burns about 400 calories per hour, if you weigh 240 it burns about 1100 calories an hour. Another thing I learned: Muhammad Ali didn't lift weights. He stayed in shape with running, shadow boxing, sparring, punching bags, jumping rope, and bodyweight exercises.

Not enough bandwidth, I think. The fiber optic USB cable I linked above works great.

Quick video I took showing the robustness of S&S' body directed movement https://i.imgur.com/DjaYoH6.mp4 You can see a bit of drift when looking left or right, but it's nowhere near as severe as it is with head directed movement. The last clip is me physically turning my whole body right and glancing left and right as I do so. All the footage was taken with me constantly holding the stick forward. e: reuploaded with a better video (here is the old one for posterity) SCheeseman fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Nov 11, 2020 |
