I've been using the cloth VR Covers with my Vive, and I like them a lot. They're comfy, absorbent (not in a gross feeling way like the stock foam), washable, and come with 2 per pack. The only negative I have is that they're a little fumbly to put on (they have tabs that you have to tuck between the foam pad and the velcro).

Although I wouldn't use it for work, I think everything is clearly readable on my desktop in virtual desktop. My main monitor is a 52 inch Sharp 1080p LCD tv from 2006, so that is probably why. iceaim fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Mar 29, 2017 |

+1 for VR Cover. I got the first covers they made for the Vive and Rift. Sort of expensive for what they are, and the way they go on are a bit janky, but the pleather cover works on the vive as a wipable facepad that keeps other peoples face sweat from going into the stock foam nicely and it feels ok for longer use than even the stock foam. The fabric comfort covers are not bad for both the Rift/Vive. However even on the rift it goes on sort of janky and while it definitly feels nicer than the stock foam itself, I cannot say it enough that I miss the About Face guy who kickstarted the covers for the DK2, then disappeared from the face of the earth. His Heather Collection covers were like cooled soft pads for your face that allowed me to use the DK2 for hours on end and I would pay $50 for a single one of those for both the Vive/Rift. I wish I didn't sell them all with my DK2 but I don't think they would have fit the current HMD's correctly. I would like to get the replacement foam pads for both the Vive/Rift that are supposed to be memory foam or something from VRCovers, but I'm going to wait until they have a sale or something before I pull that trigger. Still working on rebuilding my comp right now. If you have an ASUS board with ASMedia USB 3.X ports, make sure you get the latest drat driver incase it was that which killed my comp. Irritating to the max.

Noticed some really poor performance the other night while playing SPT. Hoped out of VR to notice my 970 drivers kept crashing. Used this as an excuse to buy a 1080ti, which will be here on Thursday. So excited to play Dirt Rally and Elite

Bigscreen has gotten good enough that I'm at the point where if I want to virtualize a desktop I'm more apt to use that than Virtual Desktop. Mostly only use VD for the rare occasion that I want to watch a 360 video now.

Unless you have more than 1 screen, then Bigscreen is sort of not there yet.

Bigscreen has multiple monitor support now, and honestly I kind of despise the way VD handles them. Its such a pain in the rear end and you always have to reset your view unless you want to be looking straight at the seam between your monitors.

Big 'ol anniversary sale going on in Oculus Home: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/section/1123667924446689/ A few bits in there worth picking up like Chronos. They also had a big bundle of 11 games for £70 but it seems to have mysteriously disappeared already. It had quite a lot of big titles, maybe someone made a mistake in there somewhere. e: it's still accessible via direct link. This is odd https://www.oculus.com/experiences/bundles/113646372509325/ El Grillo fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Mar 28, 2017 |

homeless snail posted:No, I think that's probably intrinsic to Bigscreen being a big bulky Unity app and VD being written at a lower level. I've never actually seen it make a meaningful impact on performance but I guess its possible. Indeed. Unity is great for most 3D games, but it's not good for anything that needs performance. This is why Big Screen will never match Virtual Desktop. Another good virtual screen app written at a lower level is VR Toolbox. Supposedly VorpX trumps everything as a virtual screen if you can successfully inject it into the game's EXE since none of the other virtual screens use the injection method; they simply do a real time screen capture. Personally I've only used VorpX in VR mode rather than Virtual screen mode, and my experience with that has been quite good.

Well spoke too soon this week, VR Cover is having a Oculus Anniversary sale. $10 off the main Deluxe kit and discounts on other Oculus stuff. Bit on the deluxe kit and will report back how the different Velour and other pads feel and affect visuals. Insert Zap Brannigan joke. I cannot think of Velour without him lol.

I have a VRCover standard edition I got off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Facia...eywords=vrcover I have glasses that weren't a problem for the regular rift and I can still use them with the VRCover standard thin foam but no outer-cover. It does give a few more degrees of FOV as advertized and its much more comfortable than the factory material. A+ would recommend!

I broke down and bought the Rock Band VR. It's actually pretty cool, and not as simplistic as the videos made it look. Been a long time since I've played any GH/RB guitar though, my hand is cramping up already.

rage-saq posted:#1: Onward (SteamVR). 120 hours. THE VR Multiplayer FPS Game. Think Rainbow 6 / Counterstrike multiplayer done almost perfectly in VR. The best gun handling, the best FPS VR locomotion and some really good maps. Far and away #1 in my books and I can't recommend it enough, it just gets so many things "just right" its amazing. A major content update is due out this week with another map, some changes to loadouts and more.

For ~maximum immersion~ get ye a HOTAS setup, the folks in the E:D thread can probably recommend one. For actual gameplay though I found that all of the control schemes were remarkably equal, so preference prevails

I got a Thrustmaster HOTASx for like 50 bucks. Also, voice commands are really helpful since you can't see your buttons with a VR headset on. Worth downloading the Voice Attack trial at least. Not all that hard to set up - the main problem I had was that I didn't know poo poo about Elite so I had to figure out what all the commands and buttons actually did. Once you get it all set up it's a really cool experience. I just wish I liked the actual game more.

Ralith posted:FWIW, Onward is buggy, content-poor, and very slow to receive updates, and the things that it does get right have mostly already been copied by most other VR FPSs. It's also weird to describe it as CS when Pavlov is the game that actually implements a close clone of CS's game mode. Maybe you only ever tried the TDM mode? Onward is less buggy than the other games in its class. At the moment it is probably less buggy than SteamVR, especially if you have an Oculus. It is content poor in the sense that it has one game mode, but it's got a ton of weapons and attachments and some maps that are very well done for a lasting multiplayer experience. Fortunately on the content front there is a big patch going out this week with a new map, a new loadout system and a bunch of optimizations. Dante (the dev) has hinted that there might be other content additions he has not previously announced. The most recent patch has been slow to come (~6 weeks) because of his stint at Valve which he said was good but ALSO because he has hired 5 deva and has been bringing them up to speed. New content should come much quicker henceforth. I call it the CS of VR because it was a small indie release that hit the scene with a whole new multiplayer experience that there weren't many analogs for and really set the trend for games that follow. As far as the other games you claim to have copied what Onward has done, it's true in a small sense but they come far from the degree of refinement and "rightness" that the others have attempted. Pavlov, Bullets and More, Art of War and Virtual Warfighter have copied the main movement and weapon interaction features from Onward but they are all fairly sloppy in their execution and still leave a lot to be desired. Onward came out when everyone had written off positive motion-sickness free FPS-like experiences in VR as being inextricably linked to teleportation-only implementations, which Onward has soundly kicked to the curb. Now many games have implemented "Onward style" movement and even often call it such though I've yet to find one that does it quite as good. Pavlov is probably the next closest one, where it largely nails the movement style though I still feel like my guy is moving through molasses despite the probably higher average speed. Guns are both a little more forgiving (grabbing and reloading is probably smoother) but aiming / bullet trajectories feels a lot sloppier. I've played both gameplay modes in Pavlov and while there are parts of them that I like, I feel like the current state of maps on that game really hold the experience back. The maps range from so-so (data center) to embarrassingly poor (bridge) and hopefully they are polished and expanded and improve with time. Something about the scale of the map modeling just feels off, like inconsistent or something. Some areas like hallways and stairwells feel kind of believable but then the rooms they feed into feel mis-proportioned. The scale of some rooms in Onward aren't necessarily to scale but they feel like they have the right proportions, if that makes any sense.

I've been playing Elite in VR with my Xbox one controller. If you select the default or classic control option, you can hold down xyba to see shortcut menu options. From what I understand, that is everything you need for controls. I've had to touch type a few times when I wanted to search in the galaxy map though. I don't disagree that a hotas is best, I'm just being a cheap rear end until I get more into the game. When I do get a hotas, it's gonna be a thrustmaster. They have the older model that is $50 and a new one which can connect to feet pedals for $70. The more expensive one doesn't seem worth it unless you have a PS4 or plan to use the pedals though. They also have one for $100 that can connect to the same pedals and is much nicer. Phuzun fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Mar 30, 2017 |
