I played payday with the new interface I got from Oculus and I think I much prefer the silicone one that goes over the existing interface. Sticking the leather part on the rounded plastic part proved difficult and there was some of it jutting into my periphery once I got it on that I had to take it off and adjust for. I thought the wrinkleyness of the leather when it is on made it pretty uncomfortable to wear too. I tried with and without the fabric cover over it to see if that helped and either way didn't dig it. It also requires more clearance for your head since it's poofier and sticks out more, and as someone previously mentioned the elite strap only ratchets out so far which made it a bit of a squeeze to fit on and now I think my elite strap is cracking lol gently caress.

Boneworks on Steam does not use Oculus SDK. It is SteamVR only, so you will absolutely get the SteamVR performance hit. Your solutions are to buy on the Oculus store or use Virtual Desktop instead of AirLink, which talks to SteamVR without going through Oculus SDK. But by doing that you do lose all the post-processing space warp stuff that the Oculus SDK uses. So you have to make choice. Each has its pros and cons.

90% of that sniper elite trailer is running around with an SMG shooting dudes up close which I guess has always been part of that game too but nobody wants that poo poo let me shoot hitler in the goddamn nards. Long range sniper scopes in VR have been pretty hit and miss in my experience, H3VR's range is alright but I'm curious to see if they do anything with the sniping in this game to make it feel satisfying.

it looks like the scope is kinda big and exaggerated which is perfect. I also imagine they will treat it somewhat like a reflex scope, where when you pull the trigger it hits the middle.

Sniper Elite in the past has had multiple difficulty levels for the shooting so I suspect there'll be harder difficulties where you have do account for bullet drop and wind, and an easy one where if you point at balls it shatters balls.

ChocNitty posted:Would I get worse performance playing Boneworks on Steam VR with my Oculus Quest 2 w/ airlink, vs buying it on the Oculus Rift store? Since my PC has to run 2 platforms instead of just the Oculus program. There's OpenVR, where you replace the .dll so that Steam VR isn't loaded on steam games. Only got it work on a couple of titles though, so buy at own risk.

No Man’s Sky just added DLSS support and I went from being super excited to being mostly confused once I tried it out. It’s amazing in pancake mode. I can crank everything up to Ultra at 4K and the game runs smooth as butter on a 3070 (minus the weird stutter when leaving an atmosphere but that’s been around forever). But in VR mode I can hardly tell a difference. Visually it’s okay. Looks like TAA with sharper edges and slightly less blur overall but I get sporadic weird blur artifacting if DLSS is set to either of the Performance options. That goes away if I set it to Balanced or Quality but then my performance is noticeably worse than with TAA. I guess I bought too much into the performance hype for DLSS in VR because at best I’m seeing maybe a 1-2ms decrease in frame time. And yeah, that’s good and I’m not trying to look a gift horse in the mouth but it’s weird to me that DLSS in VR seems to be pretty underwhelming compared to the black magic it’s doing in pancake mode.

Agreed. It runs a bit better, for sure, no doubt, 100%. It's just not nearly as impactful as anything I've played pancake with DLSS. Here's hoping it's tuned a bit down the line.

There is a config file you need to edit that tells it how many cores to use that picked up performance quite a bit for me in VR I’ll be damned if I can find it right now though E: it’s this https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualrea...utm_name=iossmf Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Jun 4, 2021 |

Is there a way to bypass minimum GPU specs for Oculus Link? I'm waiting for a new video card and just want to get things ready, I don't care if I chug at 2fps.

Whether it runs at all can depend on the GPU you're trying to use. For example if it's a GT 1030 or some kind of Intel iGPU, it doesn't support the features required to even get the render pipeline going.

Interesting. OK, I’ll give that a try and see. It’s an older Radeon 280X so definitely below minimum spec but not sure if it’s performance or actual missing functionality related. That said I have had success in the past running things like Google Earth VR over VirtualDesktop on my Quest2 so I think technically it’s capable of rendering, I just wouldn’t say it ran well  I’d keep using VirtualDesktop but the computer and quest are both less than optimally away from my AP so I’m hoping to get link working via cable once I can source a 30XX some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Jun 5, 2021 |

So long as it can render the video it should still launch, it’ll just have a warning message saying you’re under spec.

Steam might launch but I think the Oculus app will refuse to initiate Oculus Link if you’re under spec

Oculus Link relies on fixed function video encoders in modern GPUs for spacewarp and encoding frames for transfer over USB/Wifi. Hardware video encoders aren't very standardized and can change a lot from generation to generation, requiring specific implementations for each revision for best results. Oculus never got around to adding support for the 2xx series, at least for Link. Rift works fine. Virtual Desktop is your only choice. e: maybe ALVR too SCheeseman fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Jun 5, 2021 |

Now if I can only get MS Flight Sim 2020, or Borderlands 2 to run without also using Steam VR. I have them added to my Oculus library, but they won’t launch. Gotta do it through Steam.

you can refund any steam game you've played under 2 hours and owned less than a week, so in that way pretty much all steam games have a demo as long as they don't force you to register or activate on another service

I haven't played with my Quest 2 for a couple months thanks to Valheim. I decided to do so today and had some fun running games through the old version of Virtual Desktop I installed back in December or so. Just now I noticed it had an update so I installed it. Now VD won't load on my Quest 2 at all. I click to open the app, get a loading bar, then it goes back to Home and VD isn't running. I tried restarting and turning off/on the Quest and reinstalling VD with the same results. What can I do to fix this? Edit: Finally found on the Discord that I needed to update the Quest 2's firmware. Working better than ever now. Lozareth fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Jun 6, 2021 |

Bloodplay it again posted:There's a demo. Try it yourself! I wrote that and I went to bed! Ok, I just did it now. As a TD game, is the type that I don't like, very slow progress unlocking things, the first level you only can use a single turret, and it uses fixed slotted placements for turrets, I prefer the ones that are a bit more freeform. As a VR game, well yeah, it doesn't add a lot to the concept. You can fire at enemies with a small ship (your right hand) but it's both weak and innacurate. I can imagine a version of the game where there is no artificial locomotion or teleport, so you have to run around to see and act on the areas that most needed, repair stuff, etc, that would be a way to really make the concept of TD VR work. But then again, it would need a 25m2 area.

Gotta do it through Steam. Not sure about Borderlands, but MSFS I’m pretty sure you have to change a registry key to point to the Oculus OpenXR runtime. Link below. https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018555179-How-to-install-OpenXR- Also when you do this, save your future self potential headaches by exporting two copies of the registry key: one with the default SteamVR runtime and one with the Oculus version. The Oculus OpenXR runtime was causing some problems running certain SteamVR-only stuff and it’s a whole lot easier double clicking a reg file to switch between the two. Though now that I’m thinking about it, I haven’t had to change back from Oculus as default for quite some time so maybe the problem was fixed in an update.

Speaking of busted demos, I tried the Pavlov demo on Steam. You have to add it to your library through an external link because it doesn't seem to be accessible through Steam's store browser, possibly because it is listed as DLC when you search for it. On startup it had a message saying "alpha test now over" or something similar, had one narrow, u-shaped corridor with flat grey walls and a few guns in and literally no other rooms or content, and there was no stick turning whatsoever. Is Pavlov good? Because that did not give me any confidence to try the finished game.

Pavlov is kinda jank but I have a ton of fun playing it. Usually I just join the big SND server and just get my manual counterstrike fix in but they have TTT servers that are kinda fun to gently caress around in too. Lots of maps and they're mostly just ripped from CS

It's more or less CS in VR, with weapon controls I have no issues with (perhaps some grenade troubles at most). I love playing it with a few friends, and the most fun I've had in VR was with 3v3 matches. You can dual wield any weapon, which opens up the sort of wonky tactics I would want in that kind of game.
