I've been buying games on the oculus store thinking I could play them steam, but it's the opposite isn't it. Oh well, I'm going to a beach house for a week soon and introducing some friends to vr while I'm there... it would be good to be portable.

Nalin posted:You mean on a SteamVR headset like the Index? You just need to install ReVive and you can access your Oculus games from within SteamVR itself. If I get games on the Oculus store it loads to the device and I can take them with me. If I get them on Steam I am bound to my computer/house. I guess I'm talking about if you can "cross-buy" https://uploadvr.com/rift-quest-cross-buy-games/ Or am I going to have to buy twice if I want it for use outside the house?

Yesterday was my first major beat saber day. The wife loves it, but drunken barfight or moving via stick makes her sick instantly. I am so far seemingly immune to motion sickness I tested a few things to try and trigger it even. I spent most of the day frustrated that the mod manager custom songs weren't showing up until I realized this morning I was launching the quest 2 beat saber app somehow through virtual desktop instead of the steam version

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Yeah, that did it. It struggled with visual quality for a minute but eventually settled down, and it never actually dropped frames. Do I want that asynchronous space warp on that I've heard the kids talking about so much? It runs HL Alyx fine for me, but I'm standing 3 foot from a wifi 6 router and my computer is an absolute beast. The ceiling monster got me about 30 min in because I got cocky and I didn't have the pistol equiped because I was using both hands to feed them crates and barrels and it scared me and I hit my ceiling fan.

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.

Tip posted:Is anyone else having trouble running SteamVR games over Air Link? It's not trying to run off an integrated graphics on your cpu is it? That's apparently a thing. "Windows scheduling" to fix. It does that to me sometimes, but it always works eventually. I did have a VRchat room recently that was hard to get over 30-45fps (RTX 3080) but others were crashing and stuff so, I dunno.

I have a beast of a pc I primarily VR off of and I got the quest 2. I deleted facebook like 7 years ago, but I just have it set so my profile says I have this account for VR and only added like 6 people so far. Airlink or virtual desktop works great for me with a new wifi 6 router, I don't do wired except some nice headphones and mic from my pc

My elite strap for the quest 2 broke after just over a month of use. I know it's a know defect, but jeeze, there really was a bad batch. Finally trying out the strap that came with it, and it's not so bad, though I am biased towards the hardhat style ratcheting as I am a construction worker.

I got the 3 box, Orbi mesh wifi 6 from Costco and am pleased with it in virtual desktop and airlink. Does HL 3 Alyx on high settings fine. I didn't even know at the time that quest 2 was a wifi 6 device.

OVR Advanced Settings have their own audio switchers that you may have set to external speakers or PC. Airlink has made the audio switcher in OVR Advanced Settings obsolete but there are some other settings in there that are neat. I get better audio corded through my pc, it's simulated 7.1, headphone amp and all that.

explosivo posted:My friend bought an elite strap that broke out of nowhere a few days later and I was like well poo poo I guess a people have been having problems with them so that makes sense, then he mentioned off the cuff that he tried picking it up by the arm part of it when it broke and it's like no poo poo it broke. The arms on the side are stupidly fragile and I'm sure some of them are breaking out of nowhere based on how many complaints there were but take care of it, pick it up by the heavy part first, and it should be fine? Does make me wonder how many of these people that had problems with them breaking tried to do the same thing with it when they broke. The tightener is the same as a hardhat and people use those for years and never have anything break.  Bonus: hardhats expire (mostly from UV exposure) there will be a month/year clock dial on the brim. I've never been issued one that wasn't expired, but they'll keep fine if stored out of the sun. The nice one I bought for myself came in date.

I figured out that the kiwi 12 foot link cable, plugged into the official quest 2 charger can keep me topped on battery forever. The directions say not to charge while in use, but 2 hours ain't long enough. Wifi 6 and airlink works great for me.

I've been using Airlink since it came out on the quest 2. I decided to give the newest beta Virtual Desktop with the "space warp" a try and I got 5-10 fps worse in a crowded "VRChat rave" 38-48 Airlink 28-38 Virtual Desktop Upon further reading with me having it set to 90fps hitting 45 fps and creating false frames with "warp" is ideal when you aren't in a simple room by yourself. If your headset is getting hot, do you have it on 120fps mode? I stick with 90 because I don't get that near enough anyway so I decided to use less battery and sweat less.

Someone else in this thread did the exact same thing. The way I understood it there was a way to shelve an account and a way to delete. I went for "permanent delete" but I'm sure you are right that it retains things, it knows all my old friends. I even did the cheeky bio of "I am using this pretty much just for VR" I added 6 close friends and stopped when I received like 100 emails over that and had to change a bunch of settings.

stinky ox posted:I'd also be interested to hear what people are finding the best for Airlink, as having just spent out for a decent PC and having my airlink experience spoiled by having chosen a crappy router I might just have to bin the AX10 and get something better, annoying though it will be to have to spend even more to get things working right. I got a Orbi mesh system from Costco, it came with 2 satellites I can hardwire. It's overkill for my small house. I didn't even know it or the quest 2 was wifi6 at first, but everything just works.

Some games are 5fps higher in one or the other in my experience. It's good to have a backup in virtual desktop, but you don't need it. VD and airlink keep trying to one up each other with features and performance which is good for the community.

The guy who ordered the $90 cable, if it was too late. Keep it and use it to charge your headset while playing (on Airlink) People frown on it for some reason, but I use $400 headphones over my quest 2 and the battery only lasts 2-3 hours and will not stay charged with (regular) link. If I run my 15' cable direct from the charger I have plenty of room to move about and even spin some and the headset stays charged forever. Terrible for longterm battery life but It's especially good for seated pcvr. I only bought oculus games to demo for some friends away from my house, I'm whole hog into SteamVR now, screw Facebook. Edit: Also I use https://sourceforge.net/projects/hesuvi/ On quality headphones to simulate 7.1 Instead of using "gamer headphones" built in DAC I only had problems with one game once and it wasn't VR Quaint Quail Quilt fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Nov 29, 2021 |

I switched my quest 2 to 90 fps for steam VR, but I couldn't hit it all the time in vrchat, so it would flip between 90 and 45. Now that I have that new amd 5800x3d I can hit 90 more consistently (I have a 3080 as well) It may be less jarring to pick a target you can hit all the time because if you can't it will half it and time warp it or whatever. E: my buddy who doesn't even have VR as far as I know expressed an interest in VR casino games. Is poker stars vr and social club vr: casino nights the good ones?

OgNar posted:I got my Oculus last week and having been dealing with the short battery life since the 15' cable I also ordered has been delayed multiple times now. Have finally canceled and ordered elsewhere. E: (To be clear I plug it into the wall charger, I never seemed to have unlimited charge using it as a link cable.) The higher you set your fps the hotter it will be is all I can think of. Mine is a bit warm, but never hot. If you can't hit your target frame rate it will hit half of that to keep you from getting sick from studders presumably. I wish it was more granular. I'm reading now vrchat may cap at 90 without link cable, I need to experiment I ought to be able to get higher fps in many things.

I connect the charging cable, or if while being on and charging I put it on and select 'power off'. I've had my quest 2 for almost 2 years now so I just did one myself just because (hoping for better performance mainly) I found I almost exclusively use pcvr on steam so I don't need a lot of stuff on the actual device.

Everything has changed a bit since I seriously haunted VRchat, but some worlds are kid magnets more than others. PC only worlds seem to skew older. Remember if someone is being seriously annoying or racist or whatever you can block them easily, it took me awhile to get used to doing that, but some people deserve it. I've found 3 discords that are cool to tool around in (two are private VRrave groups) and the other was a semi friendly British group. Organically hitting it off with and friending a decent assortment seems just as good, but I'm not a very good tribe builder, I have to ride on others coattails for that. It would be cool to hang with the goons, but if they are doing it, I'm not aware of it. I'm in the goon VR discord, but not much goes on in it.

Is your power supply old or under the gpus recommended wattage amount? What does reliability monitor or event viewer (windows error logging) give as an error reason?

I feel like this is the only thing I say in this thread but I am one of the weirdos that used the quest 2 plugged directly into a wall outlet with a long kiwi cord into the official brick, it always kept charge that way for long sessions. I also preferred my $400 headphones with virtualized surround sound software for windows. If I get the quest 3 I may try a battery pack and stock sound though.
