How is this even going to work, most products that require an account just have you login and maybe set preferences or something. I’m pretty sure Facebook has banned people and at their scale there’s probably lots of obscure ways you end up with no account or locked out, are they really creating a situation where you can buy something physical from a store and it’s instantly a brick? I know consumer protections are weak but if they don’t have an escape hatch, this seems ill considered.

Up until 4G your cell phone was locked to that network due to the protocols the modem's hardware supported in that exact phone. Yeah that’s why I called out the non-guaranteed part of having an account. You can lose your account for having bad opinions. I suspect cell phone companies only ban you for bad actions towards poo poo they own or crimes. It’d be one thing (though lovely) if you could create new accounts or a fake account but you explicitly can’t.

Well my quest 2 arrived and I have Virtual Desktop set up and working quite well. But not yet perfectly and I'm trying to figure out if the plan I've cobbled together from poorly written reddit posts makes sense (for real, y'all, stop talking about networks and wifi and then saying your latency is around 32ms - is that overall, combined latency? Just network latency?) I have a 3070 and a 9600kf CPU so that side is working extremely well. I also have a Netgear C6250-100NAS, which is a combo cable modem and wifi router. My PC is connected via cat6 directly to the router and the router is about 6 feet from the headset with direct line of sight. Overall latency is usually around 30-40ms but the interesting part is that the network latency is usually the laggard - coming in at 10-14ms the vast majority of the time, which shows in yellow in VD starting at about 11ms I think?. Other 3 timings are usually around 6-8ms each, fluctuating a bit. So it works pretty well, VD says the connection is 866mbps, pretty drat impressive and it's very smooth most of the time. However! Every, say, 2 minutes or so I'll get network latency spikes in the range of 28-40ms for a few seconds. And from what I've been able to piece together, there's a good chance this is occurring because A. combo cable/wifi router, not the best at anything and, more importantly B. the router despite being plenty fast enough does not have MU-MIMO on it and thus when there is contention for wifi network accesses among my other devices, speeds are solid but latency starts increasing temporarily as it attempts to serve multiple devices and splitting up the time slots. Does this seem correct? Finally, my plan: get a cheap MU-MIMO wifi router (perhaps a Tenda AC10U - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ES6ZQ7O?tag=306digi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 or TP-LINK Archer A6 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N1L5HX1/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1) to use as a dedicated access point just for the quest. If I understand it correctly the setup will look like this: Connect the dedicated router's WAN port to ethernet port on the cable wifi router. Set the dedicated router to access point mode. Change my PC's ethernet connection from the cable wifi router over to the dedicated router's gigabit ethernet ports. And finally, and this is the part I'm least clear on, connect the quest to the dedicated router wirelessly. But how does this work? Do access point mode routers have their own network? The whole point of this is that the quest will be the only wireless device on this router - Will it appear as a separate wifi network named however I like? Or will it invisibly just be an extension of the cable wifi router's wifi network and devices use signal strength to decide what to connect to?

Lockback posted:You can configure the accesspoint to be a different network name with different password. That's what you want. Also make sure you are on a different channel. One reason you are running into problems may be intererence among other devices using that frequency. If you run another access point on the same frequency it won't help (and may make it slightly worse). Good call, I ran a channel analyzer and discovered 161 was not in use and moved my current router to that channel but in this case 161 would go to dedicated router, and my cable Wi-Fi router would move to a different channel, yes. I am very near my router - same room within about 6-8 feet and I can get the new router even closer. Jim Silly-Balls posted:Do you even need mu mimo if your quest is the only thing on the access point? There shouldn’t be contention at all at that point, right? Really great point. I suppose not, but I figure a device that is solely concerned with being good at wifi is likely to be better about latency and such (also has external antennas) and if I can get mu-mimo for low $40s, why not? But if there’s a somehow even cheaper router that is rock solid but without mimo, I’d take a close look. But you’re quite right, guides are positioned for the general case, not for people with combo cable wifi routers, where it would be the primary device and this need to share airtime and see benefits from mimo and I overlooked that.

Holy crap y’all, getting a dedicated router worked like a charm, for $43 I’m now pegged at 90fps and perfect network latency (averaging 8ms compared to 11-15 and bursts up to 30-40) this is so goddamn cool. Battery pack and Velcro arrive Sunday and then I’m set with a spotless wireless vr setup! Other notes: quest 2 looked a little blurry but I noticed that if I pulled it ever so slightly away from my face it looked better - added in the glasses spacer even though I don’t wear glasses and it’s right on the money now. I hope they can keep improving the lens - sweet spot looks really great compared to rift s but above and below still get blurry and chromatic abberationy but it’s only a bother when reading desktop app style text. Screen door effect is basically gone now. Elite strap is not optional. I loving hate facebook but this subsidiary has done great work. Virtual desktop is sent from god through that dev’s fingertips. Router is a TP-Link Archer (edit: C6 not A6 - they are the same thing but the A series is a special Amazon only SKU) - it’s not the newest version but you really start to cap out at 80-120mbps for video nitrate and that’s way within what modern routers can do. Network latency stability is far more important here and you probably don’t need wifi 6 if you can do a dedicated router as access point connected to wired pc. Beyond impressed $20 software can pull this off. Enderzero fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Jan 9, 2021 |

explosivo posted:OH also, I have been using the elite strap the last few days and couldn't figure out why but it was fitting really weirdly and I pretty much had to latch it onto my face by tightening it way too tight. Last night I remembered that there's an adjustable strap on the top, too. This is 100% true and key. Do not overlook this. I just got mine a few days ago and was relying on tightening the back with it smashed against my face and my face was hurting like crazy, especially on the forehead. Now I’ve figured out a better way: unfasten the top strap and give it some slack. Then, one hand to hold the front nice and level against your face so the foam is pressing equally and center lens is clear. Tighten the back, not too tight. Make sure the back is cradling your back head by pressing it into position and adjust the arm angle and tighten a bit more. Can probably make it so it’s a bit low on your face as you will pull it back up with the top strap in the next step. Now tighten the top strap so it lifts the whole apparatus a little and the lens should move back towards clear. It should know be kind of suspended on your head. Do a touch more (2-3 clicks) tightening or just final adjustment in whatever way feels comfortable and light - I usually pull the back down a touch to shift the weight a bit and adjust the arm angle so that the foam is well distributed and not high pressure against any part of my face. It’s sounds like a lot but I’m trying to be explicit, after a bit of practice you can do it in a few seconds. It’s even better now that my velcro battery mod is in place! Edit: also once you get the top strap gauged to the right distance you won’t have to adjust it much, if at all unless someone else uses it so getting the headset on and adjusted is even quicker than the process described above.

pantsfree posted:This makes me think my lenses are pretty bad. I have quite obvious god rays from pretty much any high-contrast scene, including the oculus 'O' logo when you first turn it on, and the on-screen keyboard (looks v smeary unless in dead centre of vision. Chromatic aberration is bad to the point where i can distinctly see the three separate colours of a white line when viewed on the edge of the lens. It's possible your lenses have issues, but I'm wondering if this isn't just the result of purposefully made tradeoffs in current lens technology. My inference is that they are trying to balance multiple issues, but the most important one is things looking pretty good in game. Chromatic aberration has got to be difficult if not impossible to completely eliminate in a mass market product and it is relatively minimal in the sweet spot but you're (understandably; we want to measure and understand how good the lens' are) rating it against the absolute most difficult conditions possible: white, sharp edged text against dark backgrounds. In most games it's far less noticeable because a bit of color shift in textures and images that vary frequency-wise far more slowly than white edge -> black background is not something we are good at perceiving. Same with it getting more blurry as you approach the edges; this has been the case since the first VR systems but in games you don't notice it because outside of the center of our vision our eyes and brain start cheating a lot - color reproduction drops off and the edges of our vision are already out of perfect focus so a blurriness is not a huge deal. That said, when you turn your eyes to the corners you definitely can watch the imperfections easily but I think most of us do that in a way similar to performance testing PC upgrades - at first you are checking everything and extremely focused on minor details, but once you get it locked in and just play a lot of the imperfections melt away. I think Oculus is likely very aware of these limits - for example, notice that their controls and store and such are light gray text on dark grey backgrounds; this helps minimize chromatic aberration but I'm sure most of us are checking and trying things out using our usual designed-for-PC programs and tools like, say, reading the very high contrast forums via virtual desktop which is absolutely going to shine a spotlight on current lens tech's weaknesses. Anyways, I didn't write this to minimize your experiences or say you're wrong - you get to choose what good enough is! Just to try and add some context to the possibility of redditors spinning up narratives about lens quality (which could be a thing still! IDK!) instead of perhaps realizing we all experience this stuff in different ways and under different conditions and wanting everything to be perfect, and perhaps not understanding the enormous load of engineering tradeoffs that must have gone into this thing (tradeoffs are not a bad thing! All of engineering is tradeoffs including making the perfect device, the tradeoff of which is it would cost insane money and/or have to be built to spec for each user!) I personally won't be using Quest 2 as a replacement interface for forums or PC desktop usage because the CA is still large enough outside of the absolute sweet spot that my eyes get tired trying to focus it out of existence. But in experiences designed for VR, despite being the type of person who turns off motion smoothing when I go to a friend's house, the display is good enough that I'm not thinking about it almost ever - my favorite improved part is how screen door effect is almost completely gone! Oh and smooth 90hz scrolling. My work macbook looks like poo poo when scrolling after this weekend.

Tom Guycot posted:I don't know the technical details, but from what I understand, video is streamed from the host, but gameplay is probably using some retroarch feature since it can become desynced and everyone in the room needs the exact same rom image or they can't see the game on the TV. But it does allow hot swapping of controls, so if you were having trouble in a part, you could give your virtual controller to your virtual big brother to beat that part for you, or step out of a smash brothers game so someone else could take your spot. I don't know the official limit but i know you can have more than 4 people in a room. I really wish someone would put together a flow chart of how these things interact nowadays, especially in the case of Oculus combined with SteamVR. Like in video games where you have attribute changes in an RPG. If you have I.E. You have an item which give 10% extra strength and a perk that gives 50% strength - some games will do 100% + 10% + 50% = 160% and others will do multiplicative (100% + 10%) * 150% = 165% Like one cheatsheet image to rule them all and explain each case.

Rolo posted:If my wifi ends up being bunk could I ethernet a separate router to use for my oculus? I can’t replace my primary entirely because it’s also my fiber modem. This is exactly what I’m doing and it’s working great. $45 router to act as access point with a cable from the wan port to my cable modem/wifi router which provides internet. Then PC Ethernet to the access point, and the quest as the only device on the access point (which has a different ssid than my cable modem/router). You don’t need wifi 6 so I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable a dedicated router was.

Rolo posted:Mind sharing what model you got? I haven’t bought a router since my WRT54G. Yeah, no problem! It's a TP-Link Archer C6 - if you get it on amazon it will be called an A6 as they have a special amazon SKU but it's the same product. The other option I was looking at was a Tenda A10U - both are about $42-45 on Amazon. As for latency addition, I'm not an expert but I imagine it will be pretty small (I'm going to guess 3-5ms based on nothing at all) since you are hooked via ethernet from the access point vr router into your main internet wifi router but don't take this as100% certainty.

pantsfree posted:This is fair - I know there are inherent tradeoffs with fresnel lenses, chromatic aberration being one of them. Lenses are hard to make, good lenses are expensive and complicated and heavy. I agree that these flaws generally aren't visible in game, which is why I haven't been very worried about it. What does appear to be pretty clear based on all the reddit nonsense is that there's a wide variance in lens quality with the Quest 2, which is not surprising for a comparatively cheap VR headset. The same also occurs with camera lenses, just that most people never pixel peep or compare to know whether they have a 'good' or 'bad' copy. Generally the more 'pro' up the scale you go, the tighter the tolerances become. Yeah, I haven't seen the lens quality issues thing but I don't doubt it may be a real thing, I just wanted to try and bridge two ideas - one, that these lenses are not a spot-on general viewing device thing suitable for everything (and many of us don't have experience with what these lens 'should' look like) and two, there could be issues with mass market lens manufacturing quality but just because the lenses are not perfect doesn't necessarily mean you got a bum one. You put it very well, though. I also added an Anker Powercore 10000mAh PD via velcro on Sunday and it's great. Tripled my battery life, doesn't get in the way at all, and acts as a solid counterweight. I'm now starting to forget it's on my face sometimes. Compare that to Saturday when I hadn't yet figured out the right way to put on the elite strap (tighten the top strap! most of the weight should be held by the top of your head, not front to back - use that for *lightly* vise-gripping your face to hold it steady) and it was giving me insane forehead pain and making me wonder if I would need to return it. More notes on the Anker - You want one with Power Delivery - PD so it provides 2.4? 3? amps - enough to keep it slightly charging or very slightly draining. Don't get the Metro at Best Buy and other brick and mortar - get PD! Also don't bother with the PD Redux, it's $10 more for nothing extra. Finally, it doesn't come with a charger, just the brick and a short cable (which is about the perfect length for attaching from the back velcro setup to the quest charge port) - luckily I have an iPhone USB-C fast charger so I didn't need to buy anything extra.

Lockback posted:Wifi latency is generally higher than that, then you have decoder latency (which you also get on link cable). Under perfect conditions you can get around 6-8ms latency from network, though it's not hard to end up at 10ms through little fault of your own. Correct, I was talking about PC -> VR Router -> internet router all linked via ethernet, not wireless latency. Like what additional latency is introduced to PC games by the extra access point to internet router connection. You're exactly right on the wireless latency, I'm getting 7-8 ms network latency steady. 10-11 is also essentially perfect, and then from 11-16ish? VD will start highlighting network latency in yellow.

Rolo posted:Sweet, ordered on Amazon for 42 bones. I also drew a picture to make sure I get the set up right. I am doing A - you want minimal sources of delay so we want ethernet pc to vr router so that the dominating latency factor is wireless. Since you will only have one device on the wifi, that should also be minimized as far as we are able to. (also connect new vr router WAN port to any regular ethernet port on your internet router, it'll probably have 2-4 available, then go into settings and put it in Access Point mode. It's very easy to do) Again, not an expert, but ethernet connections are limited mostly by the speed of light and any processing when you hit a router. They are designed for that, to just pass the data through as fast as it can, so I'm guessing very low single digit ms latency will be added - and doing a quick look around it looks like it may be more like measured in the microseconds, up to maybe 1 ms extra time. I think even in twitch heavy games your internet connection and distance to server is going to be the dominating term by far but I'd love for backup from someone more into networking.

Jokerpilled Drudge posted:it's good, youre lowering your carbon footprint and the poo poo usually works. Amazon typically offers 90 day warranties on refurb products Electronics failure rates fall under the umbrella of things governed by what we call the bathtub curve: failure rates are high at first and drop precipitously in the first month or two, like the steep wall of a bathtub’s outline, then bottom out for years like the floor of a bath before slowly rising over time like the shallow wall of a tub. This corresponds to devices that got past QA but have some busted or bad component that goes bad very quickly, devices that have a long successful life, and then those surviving devices that, after years, have some part that wears out or slowly goes bad. The ones that die right away are where refurb stock comes from: if they can be rescued or easily fixed, they sell it for cheaper (and sometimes the fix doesn’t work/there’s a deeper more insidious issue - this is when refurb devices fail quickly within the shortened warranty window) but if they make it through the first 3 months of the new warranty they’re likely to be fine long term. So at worst you might have to get a replacement refurb and your savings are offset by extra hassle. Then there’s the products that are just designed so poorly/cut rate components that refurbs are as likely to die at random as they are to survive long term, but that’s not as common as you move away from indistinguishable Shenzen brands towards names you’ve heard of - though sometimes a product is just a lemon design still!

Something bit me in the rear end over the last few days and I decided I want to use it as a workout, so I started playing Pistol Whip and Beat Saber again for the first time in awhile, but I also felt like I wanted a new experience to liven it up, so I picked up Until You Fall after skimming the beginning of this thread, and spent about a half hour tonight getting sweaty with swords, and it was a great time.

I’ll take fair matches and games that fill quickly, but that’s just one person’s opinion. Jim Silly-Balls posted:I dont think they removed HD assets or anything drastic like that. As far as I can tell, the only differences with the PC version as it stands today are it’s higher framerate, slightly better textures and better AA. Well said.

Jack-Off Lantern posted:Sadly I can't afford am Index, I have a Quest 2. I'll probably bite. I dunno, I bought a 3090 and a new cpu just for VR Stuff and now I'm a bit cheap in spending cash for actual games. I don’t like to judge how people spend their money but you spent, what, £800 for a 15% FPS increase but £60 is too much? I can’t believe this is a phenomenon. That is eye popping. Jim Silly-Balls posted:I cranked Pop1 up to 150% SS, we’ll see if it makes distant enemies any clearer Please report back!

Tip posted:You bought a $1500 video card that is 15% faster than the $700 video card. Like I said, it’s your money and you can spend it how you like. But that card is literally positioned as the “money is not an object” card and to then struggle with mere game prices, I don’t understand it. It’s probably a helluva system though!

Jack-Off Lantern posted:Yo, where did I struggle with game prices? I asked if deals existed, cause depending on yes or no, Alyx is an instant buy or "buy it next month" title. Seeing as I spend around 2600€ on a new system +quest 2,this seems fairly logical no? Jack-Off Lantern posted:There isn't a way to get a deal on HL Alyx, right? I desperately wanna play it, but it feels steep to me.  you do you, I personally plan hardware buys such that I don’t even have to think about buying a full price game sometimes, but everyone is different. I just am unable to get my mind around this concept - it has parallels to people who buy new phones and balk at paying more than a dollar for a game they’ll play for hours. Never got it, but it’s a thing.The drat supply situation sucks so bad though, glad you at least got to upgrade!

Lockback posted:I use that exact one as well (though I just keep the battery in my pocket). Note the HMU will still drain slightly faster than it will charge, but quick napkin math is it would be good for about 6 hours straight, probably more. You want either that one or the 10000mAh version. Anker sells a bunch of similar products and what you want is one labeled PD - power delivery. This provides enough amps to keep the built in battery topped off or very slowly discharging. Note that there’s also a PD Redux model that doesn’t add anything but almost doubles the price. 10000 and 20000 should go for about $25 and $50, respectively. Use that to help gauge if you’re getting the right model. My 10000mAh battery gives me about 6-7 hours of gaming, so about 3x the battery life. Built in battery is about 3600 mAh and elite strap with battery is around 5000 I think? Thus doubling the battery. I mounted my battery on top of the elite strap, so i didn’t go with the 20000 mAh battery because I figure it would add too much weight without enough corresponding increase in counter weighting. It may work better if you mount it below the elite strap, where it provides more torque.

Population One added a (so far) limited time mode - 9 v 9 with one shrink to a small square. Pretty chaotic but also fun.

Skyarb posted:Is there enough of a population for that game that you aren't just playing against the same people over and over again? Definitely. Having it be available on quest means I’m at 50 games and I’ve never seen anyone twice. When I had one kill I was like 50000th in the weekly rankings.
