explosivo posted:Yeah I just played at a table for almost an hour and it was a very pleasant experience, people talking about christmas and goofing around with vapes and tiny donkeys and saying goodbye to everyone when they left. It's pretty amazing and hard to convey in words how authentic that game feels. I’m a bit of a broken record in this thread because I say it constantly but PokerstarsVR is the best social experience I’ve had in VR. The feeling of sitting at a poker table and shooting the poo poo like you would at a home game or something is amazing, especially in 2020

Pierson posted:I heard you can effectively bump up the resolution of some games by messing around with resolutions but I'm not sure how. I got a 3070 and I'm eager to see how good I can make Squadrons look. What option am I looking for? Render Resolution in SteamVR Settings. I suggest forcing it to 100% globally, and then editing it game-by-game to be higher or lower as needed, which can be done in the Video menu. Some games also have a render resolution setting in-game, so you can do that as well.

Lockback posted:This is not mathematically correct. Taking a card doesn't make it more or less likely the next card is lower. You don't know if the next two cards are a 10 and a 4 or a 4 and a 10 or anything else. As a mathematician who has played blackjack in casinos on a few occasions, thank you for explaining this. Does no good with the drunks, but hearing the exclamations kills me inside every time. To make up for the derail, I love Beat Saber, but I REALLY LOVE Synth Riders for the rhythm game experience. It feels more like dancing and the electroswing selection is a great bonus.

Just make sure it’s on the account you will be using for the headset.

JUNGLE BOY posted:pokerstars needs to add roulette and craps For real. Way more fun and casual and social. Poker is tryhard competition and Blackjack is tryhard vs the dealer. Craps is the poo poo and would be real fun to play with actual dice interactions and tossing. Everybody else can chat while the shooter is throwing and you can all cheer together when you hit big or all feel the same lows when you crap out.

Shine posted:Render Resolution in SteamVR Settings. I suggest forcing it to 100% globally, and then editing it game-by-game to be higher or lower as needed, which can be done in the Video menu. To add to this, Squadrons is one of the games with an in-game setting - it's called Resolution Scale in game. Try bumping it up to 130 or 150 to see how it goes. The difference in visual quality can be staggering. Also be careful to only supersample once. If you take Shine's advice of setting the 100% value in Steam globally then this is less of a risk but there have been plenty of occasions where poor VR performance was due to someone having Steam and in-game supersampling set up, which hammered their GPU.

The better maps can have really nice flow, feels nice and dancey.

Only stopped playing it as much because I hit a bit of a skill plateau a little way into the expert campaign and got annoyed. It's more of a "game" than beat saber, uses the brain cells a bit more, and it feels much dancier to play when you get up into the higher difficulties.

One of the things I liked about Forza back when I played was the ability to take a pretty basic Nissan whatever, or whichever sedan I liked, and take it on a decent variety of tracks. Are there any VR games that let me drive some closer to ordinary cars? I did get CARS 2 + 3 as part of a bundle somehow a while back but they're really not doing it for me at all. I'm not really looking for ultra-realism, just maybe a VR racer that's less formula one racing and the like.

Assetto Corsa is on sale for like $6 on humble right now and it has a huge modding community that probably has most of what you want but I dont think there is much on the PC side that does the whole “upgrade your normal grocery getter into a track monster” thing that Forza and Gran Turismo do.

sea of losers posted:also as far as multiplayer ive rly been liking contractors vr. i think after calibrating and getting used to my rifle stock i definitely have better performance at long-distance rifle shots Hey thanks to this post I picked this up with a friend of mine and I'm liking it a lot. The co-op stuff is hard as balls but I kinda prefer playing against bots, at least for right now. I'm also not totally used to the full locomotion movement on the left stick, I'm not getting quite as queasy anymore with a stable framerate but when I'm standing still in a room it still makes me feel like I have to consciously think about not falling over all the time when I'm zipping around in game.

hello internet posted:If you hit with 15 while the dealer shows a 6, you likely caused the rest of the table to lose. Playing with idiots that make plays based on how they "feel" is incredibly frustrating when playing with real money Oddly enough, this post is the definition of making plays based on how you feel rather than paying attention to the math.

PCars isn't really formula one racing, you can do normal sports cars. If that doesn't do it for you, I'd try one of the many cool Mario Kart style VR games instead. Especially 3 is meant to be more arcadey than 1/2 were. You do mean PCars 2 + 3 right? It totally has like, a Honda Civic in it.

If you don't like PCars you're not gonna like AC. Its just the same thing but more accurate / more fiddly. He wants to move in the other direction.

My partner gave me a Quest 2 for Christmas and I love it. Having never owned a VR headset before, is it normal for the 'sweet spot' to be quite small? I'm on the correct IPD (my measured IPD is just below 63mm, headset is on setting two), the lenses are clean, and the centre is in good focus, but I'm getting a lot of god rays at points of high contrast (such as the text in the oculus store) for anything off-centre, and the CA as you approach the corners is terrible. It's not really noticeable in games but it's pretty annoying for other content.

Dirt Rally is my favorite (haven't played 2) and lets you drive a bunch of ordinary cars from different eras. Finally feel the thrill of driving a 2001 Ford Focus off a cliff in VR.

sigher posted:Are there any tools to test the throughput of your ports? I posted in the Flight Sim thread about how my USB-C TB3 with DP port doesn't seem to have enough throughput for Flight Sim and I want to just make sure. As far as adaptors go it varies, i have a 4k USB-C TB > DP for my Rift S and it works fine, however it cant handle the bandwidth required for something like a Reverb G2. I would say (coming from a laptop gaming perspective) if your 3D graphics outputs to TB the issue will be any adaptor you need to use, not the port itself. (im awaiting on a full HBR3/8k-rated adaptor to run the G2) Also Dirt Rally 2 is amazing in VR and everyone with even a passing interest in car games/sims should get it

Double post but I finally got to set my Quest 2 up last night and I love it! One thing though, it seems to have one single pixel stuck on white. The thing is so pixel dense that it’s impossible to see unless the screen is totally black (so loading screens mostly) and it’s only visible in the right eye. It’s nearly imperceptible and totally imperceptible if anything is happening on screen that isn’t total blackness. Is oculus doing anything about dead pixels? I’m not even sure yet if I want to do anything, just weighing my options. I think my wife got it at Walmart, so ultimately that may be my best recourse if I decide to do anything.

Yeah, you can return it BUT some LCDs will show a white pixel on black ONLY and those usually come unstuck. I don't know if there is a pixel unstuck app for the Q2 but it might be something you can fix. I had a monitor that did that years back (stuck pixel but ONLY on black) and I was able to fix it. Might be worth a try before returning it. But if you can't get it I'd swap it out. pantsfree posted:My partner gave me a Quest 2 for Christmas and I love it. There's a sweet spot but the Q2 is reasonably generous. Do you wear glasses or anything? Are you using the included cloth strap? My guess is you might not have the headset on right try loosening the strap quite a bit and hold the headset on your face manually and kinda adjust it around to see if you can find a good fit, then set the strap.

Talking about usb through put. My Reverb G2 absolutely refuses to work on standard usb ports. With usb c I was able to get picture but no audio. Fixed it by running the headset into a powered usb hub then into a 3.1 port.

Long shot, but if you can sideload APKs maybe you can find an android pixel unsticker? Personally I’d just try to go through their support because I’m a sucker for things being just right and that pixel would drive me bananas even if it is intermittent or only visible in the dark.

Is it common to feel a bit dissociative after extensively using VR for the first time? I'm not going to like drive into traffic because I think I'm invincible or anything but have noticed myself doing dumb stuff like trying to grab something without moving my lower body or occasionally feel like I'm floating around when walking IRL. VR does weird poo poo to your brain.
