Node posted:I have a birthday coming up and I think I'm going to treat myself and dip my toes into VR. I've done some reading, and it sounds like if you want to play PC games, the right choice is the Oculus Quest 2, despite signing your soul away to Facebook. Is that the best headset for playing on the computer? The Rift sounded great, but they're discontinuing support for it, so I don't think it would be future proofed. quest 2 is so far away in value proposition that is is truly lol. setting up a battery pack head thing is pretty simple imo, I just used command wall straps, stretched off the sticky crap and use that clean side for my head + 2 stickers on any piece of crap battery pack. smush it between the top strap. easy peasy.

Lemming posted:Then someone needs to get off their rear end and make an actual Quest competitor. Standalone is so clearly where VR is going, it's painful to see other people not keeping up I always lolled at the resident cspam vr enthusiast because it was so obvious vr would always be dumb so long as you needed a gaming cpu to do it, so when I went from CV1 to Q2 i lolled at how effectively facebook pulled it off. 300 per unit to compete against just seems brutal, to me.

It's too late. if you've bough a vr headset you have already crossed the rubicon. if you're not even willing to spend 150 dollars on a PoE switch and an AP god will not look kindly upon you.Leathal posted:While a dedicated WiFi 6 router is definitely the best way to go (especially if you’re like me and your neighbors all have like 3 APs each locked in an arms race for supremacy through paper thin walls), lol goddamn

If the metaverse of the last Oculus connect is all they make nobody will care and it'll be a huge flop, lol They’ve got too much money sloshing arount (and invested in the pos vr market) and are trying to create demand and it’s really funny how the desire for returns has manifested itself lol

Neddy Seagoon posted:Also they don't have to care if it sucks now so long as they get everyone onto their platform first. They can fix it after the fact and by then it doesn't matter if anyone else comes along because everyone's on their platform, which is what matters in the end and why their budget is functionally unlimited. yeah its the same market cornering you see in everything else, it's just really funny considering VR's limitations as a consumer product. Until then cheap poo poo ftw.

lol internet. posted:What is the benefit of virtual desktop? I used the steam virtual desktop.. but it's not like I can play videos in VR mode? So I only use my quest for VR car bullshit. So I got my seat, wheel, etc sitting in a corner but its away from a monitor and i don't want a monitor there anyway because it'd be a pain in the rear end. So that's fine for stuff like Dirt 2.0 that's completely VR but say I want to play Forza with my wheel to set rivals time or something: VD is way better at the fake screen than the Oculus solution. You can dial it in way better, it also doesn't gently caress up my audio. Pocketcast for windows will never, ever work for oculus' solution. Like just being able to switch screens with a button... how tf did they not do any quality of life stuff with the the oculus crap lol Homeless Friend fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Jan 24, 2022 |

you know im wondering, is it possible to spoof monitor output to virtual desktop? It vaguely seems like it should be possible to create a false vga or something at 1440p/4k then get widescreen onto a fake virtual monitor.

oh hey look new quest booyah. i assume it'll be pico'esqe. may god have mercy upon us and have facebook improve their crappy desktop software.SCheeseman posted:I'm not sure if the keyboard is figured out yet, their virtual keyboard looks slick and maybe decent hand tracking will finally make the idea work, much like touchscreen keyboards were unusable until they weren't. It's one of the few near-field optimised UI elements, virtual touchscreens are supported but it appears mostly to serve unported iPad and iPhone apps. just do swiping with your eyes. way less annoying to floating ghost keyboard. pay me apple. mf trying to take the keyboard out of the keyboard...

njsykora posted:I defended the Elite Strap for a while but then I took it off, put it away in its box for a week and when I pulled it back out it cracked immediately. Then I got the BoboVR strap with the battery pack mount and yeah that strap ruled. ive hated every strap, gasket whatever compared to quest pro open style. you simply cannot play for an extended period without it being a sweat magnet. but i also don't whip my head playing sims so maybe that style flies off in like more active usecases or somethin

The actual problem with no wheel is dealing with gas and brake. You can do some controller jank to deal with that. Plenty of insane poor euros play RBR to insane levels using a controller lol. I imagine assetto is probably alright on old laptop’s performance wise. Just shoot for 60fps.

EbolaIvory posted:Hot Take : I don't like wheels for racing games and I never have. Wheels are a bit over hyped, a lot of the terms about them are pure marketing and don't explain a drat thing. It's something I've thought about, since i've spent way too much money on it. Some games they're clearly totally unnecessary overkill, others I might as well chop off my hands instead of using a controller. Beside, the real way of playing racing games is with a keyboard. WASD+space bar what more do you need.

KillHour posted:There are other times though when the wheel calibration is wrong or whatever game's physics are floaty and vague or maybe just the car setup is hosed and everything feels like mush. Yeah, Wheel calibration is a large part of enjoyment and loving it up can really gently caress up the experience. The insanely dumb settings ive gotten from youtube and ended up fixing months later lol. This is where a game having its own dedicated discord community helps. Jokerpilled Drudge posted:one thing that is frustrating with simming is that when I put it into third person and drive with analog stick I get way better times than i do with fpv and force feedback steering wheels Thats the marketing thing I mentioned earlier. They love to upsell wheels without explaining why you would actually want xyz. Wheels will absolutely not give most ppl good times and in certain games are the worse choice. Plenty of ppl doing good times on controllers generally. Terms like real, etc get thrown about but theyve got it all wrong its just primarily for immersion. I could do rwd gravel with a controller but the entire enjoyment of the exercise is lost. Homeless Friend fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Aug 5, 2023 |

Every way I try to login via my active FB page gives me a "sorry we're broken" error. Is this a random error that'll get fixed or am I somehow screwed? if you dgaf what you have on there i’d just hold power and vol down and factory reset the headset because it’ll be less a pain in the rear end
