...and finally solved it. Very first impression for Air Link, it's like VD. No better, no worse? Well, controller tracking seems better, there is a slight lag with VD, but I would have to compare specifically jumping from app to another to be sure. I still have to test the framerate more accurately than going by feel. Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Apr 26, 2021 |

I tried some AirLink last night with Beat Saber (on steam) and it “worked” well enough but I had this weird thing going on where certain elements like the energy bar were reprojected and moved all over the place. Basically anything “fixed” would move around while the blocks and blades were tracked/synced correctly. It was distracting and I didn’t mess much more with it but aside from that it seems to work.

In case anyone else has to go Googling for how to enable Air Link 1. Update both the Oculus PC app and the headset to latest versions, should be version 28 2. Turn on Air Link in the "beta" section of the PC app 3. Turn on Air Link in the "experimental" part of the headset settings - reboot your headset if it isn't there 4. Go to Settings > Quick Actions in the headset and pick Air Link there

I gave this a try - the options appeared but when I tried to connect my PC and Quest 2 by airlink, the process didn't complete. No error code, just no indication that anything was happening and no way to quit the process. I rebooted my Quest, and now I can't even get into the Quests' settings on the headset - I just get a blank grey menu and the UI doesn't respond. roffels fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Apr 26, 2021 |

I dunno if anyone here ever played tagpro https://tagpro.koalabeast.com/ but it was a super simple browser-based capture the flag game with a handful of powerups and really fun movement. Gorilla Capture The Flag would be awesome.

I disabled "Developer Mode" using the Android app, not sure if it was at all related but everything worked just fine after that. I just gave Airlink a quick test and it seems to be working fine! And I didn't have any black/blank visuals temporarily like I sometimes do in Virtual Desktop!

I was playing far from my router (and not using my local PC card) and airlink "felt" better. However, now I want to stick with VD to play with the 120hz mode.

Performance wise, it seems I can replicate the same difference I saw months ago ago in Link vs VD. Air Link behaves like Link, in that it's more performant. Just in my SteamVR home I could see with the fps indicator, I don't even need to enter in any extra game to see the difference.

Using VD seems way less frustrating than the AirLink stuff. Oculus' link software with the nav bar thing at the bottom has always been kind of frustrating to me, and I appreciated how VD let you launch stuff directly from it (even if it didn't always work). Going in and out of the steam overlay in VD seems less of a hassle too, I had a friend messaging me on Steam and the only way I figured to deal with it was go back into the Link screen by holding one of the buttons down and then opening up the monitor view where I found the chat window and did it that way. Maybe I missed an easier way to do that though.

Does AirLink basically act like you are connected with a cable and back in the Rift S interface?

Personally I like airlink because desktop clicks work, with virtual desktop it would take 3-10 VR clicks to launch or minimize a program. They're still probably ironing some kinks out though.

VD is still the way to go for playing pancake games imo and the built in SBS 3D mode is great for games that support it and stuff like Dolphin. Tomb Raider maxed out in SBS 3D is really cool. That said, since AirLink came out my primary use for VD has been opening the Oculus app so I can get into AirLink. Getting to use OpenComposite wirelessly with the Bethesda VR games is so good. Gained a good 20 FPS with FO4 and it seems more stable to boot.

It's true, but OpenComposite support is kinda spotty and development is very slow. I would not install it globally and I would research every game before using it to see what the problems are.

Went to the dark side after sticking with my Vive since year 1. The Quest 2 is like dark magic. Air link works so well. No wires, the screen is gorgeous, the controller responsivity is basically as good as lighthouse tracking, I am so so impressed.

What I don't get about the Quest 2 trigger delay in H3VR is that it's acceptable under VD and I can fire as fast as I normally would, but on Airlink it feels like I'm trying to shoot in a dream. Like...what are they doing different with the triggers?

The only issues I've had with Air Link are with the host app. Virtual Desktop ran on startup and sat in the background until needed. The Oculus app doesn't seem to have an option to minimise to the taskbar and the "toggles off if not used for 24 hours" thing is annoying but I'm assuming that'll be removed once it's no longer in beta.

What a mess getting airlink working. I had to run the adb commands like 3 times before I realized I was on the beta channel on my PC and turned that off. I still don’t see an option for 120hz, is that setting on the PC side or the Headset side?

As far as third party ones go, I'm not an expert or anything since the one I bought is the only one I've tried, but this one that I mentioned a week or so ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09137FZNT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 seems pretty solid from the couple times I've used it. Keeps in place on my head a lot better than the default straps at least, also comes with padding for the back of your head (does the OEM elite strap have that? I have no idea). Unfortunately it appears to only have a $3 off coupon now as opposed to the $15 one I bought it with, but I can't imagine there's a huge amount of variance between the various knockoffs, it's not a super complex thing.

Pretty good posted:They're crap like basically everything else that isn't a mii but they're still infinitely better than the ones they're replacing. I mean, they look a lot like the old ones (I assume we're talking about the floating torsos), they're just full body and you can tweak their appearance. They still look like garbage, they look like the Tower Unite default player avatars. You know, the ones so bad that everybody replaces them with Steam Workshop meme avatars. Too bad you can't do that in Oculus!
