Is there a list somewhere of games that are cross play between Rift/Vive and PSVR users? The only one I know of offhand is Bridge Crew.

AndrewP posted:War Thunder is neat but made me feel nauseated after a while. Not sure why since I have no problem with Elite. Definitely worth a download to gently caress around for a while though. Eve Valkrie made me feel queazy sometimes, but Elite didn't. I think there's more cockpit movement not associated with head movement in Eve, which can cause the unease. I was getting the same thing with Dirt Rally when it was set locked to horizon instead of locked to the cockpit of the car. Once I locked it to the car it was smooth from there. Seeing the outside bounce around wasn't an issue. Seeing the interior of the car bouncing around without being able to feel it was a different story.

There is one problem with Elite I'm having and it's controls. My HOTAS doesn't arrive until Friday so right now I'm making do with a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 from 2001ish. It just doesn't have enough buttons so I constantly have to use the keyboard, and my keyboard and monitor aren't in my line of site when I'm doing VR because I have an L shaped desk and put my sim stuff on one branch of the L so I'm not dragging a racing wheel, pedals, joystick, etc around on the same desk as my monitor, mouse, and keyboard. I'm hoping the cheap-rear end HOTAS I bought (thrustmaster hotas x) has enough buttons that using the keyboard will be a rarity..

If you have an Xbox controller or a dualshock those might be better stopgaps until the HOTAS arrives; there are dedicated control setups for those brought over from the console versions that don't need the keyboard.

It's got a decent amount of buttons but there's still not enough for everything Elite has buttons for. Honestly for Elite, I'd set up Voice Attack. Either that or put your keyboard in front of you so you can see out the nose hole, but that's not nearly as easy or cool ("cool") as commanding your ship through voice commands.

I get a lot of blur if I leave any sort of nose gap so that's out but voice attack seems really cool. I'd much rather say the commands I'm not going to use that often than have to go for the keyboard. There's a keyboard in my ship when I look down and left, if I could just use the touch controllers on that keyboard I'd be happy.

If I used the modes, I bet I could do literally everything. But I also use VoiceAttack to supplement it for things I don't want to waste buttons on.

I have an xbone controller with one of those chat-pad keyboards. I think that functions in windows as just a standard keyboard. I should keep that on hand for that because I can touch type on that thing without seeing it, and it's much better than moving a whole keyboard around to the other desk.

Kurr de la Cruz posted:I read the threads on r/vive when they were complaining about it, and honestly it sounds to me like buyer's remorse. They dropped 800 bucks on a headset + 100 bucks for adapters, and it still doesn't look as good as they imagined it would (and it never will because this is 1st gen tech) so they get all pissy and throw a fit. Obviously it's the lenses that are ruining the experience! I dropped 100 bucks for the adapters, and they're not suitable for people with high myopia such as myself. I have a vastly superior experience (night and day difference) using my glasses with the Vive set two notches back than with using the lens adapters where the distortion is so bad that it kills the 3D effect. iceaim fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Jul 19, 2017 |

For you Rift users: One of those threads that allows you to tweak your guardian boundaries also linked to this tool: https://github.com/Sgeo/Guardian2Chaperone Supposedly it just automatically copies your Oculus Room setup data to SteamVR, fixes the floor height, makes the play area match and turns off the chaperone. I was going to mess with this last weekend but got caught up in stuff, seems really useful though.

However, I have not tried it since discovering Guardian Boundry Editor where you can make a really clean Guardian map, which might mean converting into a good Chaperone boundry easily. I'll check it out tonight and revise my list.

Picked up a rift on account of the sale price being so good. Having a great time with stuff like Arizona Sunshine and Robo Recall. I also picked up the Batman VR game, Superhot VR, and The Unspoken. I'm also kinda trying to stream this stuff, anyone know of any decent ways to get things like twitch chat on screen?

IceOrb posted:Picked up a rift on account of the sale price being so good. There are a few applications for SteamVR, all made by the same guy, and they take a bit of CPU/GPU to pull it off. There is another one called Hello V, made by some goons who post in this thread (Hi EdEddnEddy!) I haven't used it yet so I'm not sure if it does quite what you are looking for: http://www.hellov.io/ Free and maybe most efficient: OpenVRTwitchChat - https://github.com/Hotrian/OpenVRTwitchChat a self contained, somewhat ugly and a little janky application for putting twitch chat into an overlay you can do all kinds of VR attachments with. There is a related free application by the same guy that came a little later that let you put ANY application into a VR overlay called OpenVRDesktopDisplayPortal, which you can find here: https://github.com/Hotrian/OpenVRDesktopDisplayPortal Its a larger resource hog and even jankier but works 99% the same as OpenVRTwitchChat. OpenVRDesktopDisplayPortal turned into the pay-for OVRDrop on Steam, which got a lot better, but still uses a fair amount of resources and has some scalability issues. The dev recently posted he needed to really rework OVRDrop from the ground up to turn it into what it should be. and that is what he is working on. If you aren't playing a resource heavy competitive multiplayer game it will probably serve you really well. However, if you are just looking at getting Twitch chat into your stream and want the lowest resource utilization for that and don't mind it looking kind of crappy, its probably best to work with OpenVRTwitchChat for now.

Do you mean you want to see the twitch chat in your VR headset or output to the stream itself? If you just want it on the stream then just add it as a second source using OBS/XSplit.

I know Eve Valkyrie does, but I think its a weird thing where the people on pc/psvr can't party together but can play in matches together. Maybe thats changed, not sure. Also SportsBar VR is supposed to be adding cross play with their next update, so i'd say look into that as well. GutBomb posted:There is one problem with Elite I'm having and it's controls.

The hotax X miiiight not be able to get every last command onto it, but you should be able to make a decent go of it with the most common commands if you just use a couple modifier keys. Elite makes this easier than any game I've played as well, when you're binding a button, just hold down the key you want to be the modifier and press the the button you want to activate the command with. It works really well with no fuss. You can easily double the buttons on the stick (including every direction on the hats), and you could set a second modifier to basically triple it, which on the hotas x should get you 26 commands with 1 modifier, and 36 with 2. Most of your major commands should be taken care of with that, though things like you cargo scoop or landing gear might be worth binding to easy to reach keys on your keyboard still, or just using voice attack like was suggested.

Just got the oculus in the sale. Loving it. I have an RX 570 currently and it seems to be working well enough (though I had some frame drops a couple times during some sessions). Question: If I have a relatively under powered CPU (FX-8350), but I got like the top of the like 1080 GeForce, would it actually be worth it or would my CPU be bottle necking my GPU/Gaming performance? Would I be able to supersample and stuff, try to get the most out the oculus?

I have that cpu, 8 gigs and a 1080. most stuff runs very well but if you go to ultra or supersample you will get some reprojection on certain games. however I've heard that really any supersampling on more graphically complex games can lead to reprojection, it's just people don't notice it. for what it's worth, oculus' reprojection system is better than the vive's, so your experience may be overall a bit better than mine on that headset

Gozinbulx posted:Just got the oculus in the sale. Loving it. No matter what, the CPU is going to drag performance down. Benchmarks show something like a 30 fps gain by switching to something like an i5-6600K with the same GPU. I mean, most VR games are designed to hit 90 fps on a GTX 970, so overkilling it with a 1080 could make up for your weak CPU. But you may encounter problems with CPU heavy games anyway. Since upgrading your CPU will also require a motherboard and RAM upgrade, I would just start saving up now so you can upgrade CPU+MB+RAM+GPU when NVIDIA's Volta chips come out and just deal with your lowered performance in the meantime.

The optimal way to get it all setup is to use a few tools, which I've listed below. Oculus users seriously have to put up with all that poo poo just to use SteamVR? WTG facebook.

They're just handy utilities, but honestly all you have to do is start up steamVR and it will run you through the setup the first time. Thats it. Everything he listed is useful for the tinkerer to fine tune things, but absolutely none of it is required for it to work just fine.

The borders don't ruin my immersion at all, and I personally like having steams be my "oh poo poo" wall. I feel like you could use one tool to merge them. And use the oculus tray and be done with it. Honestly. I'm still rookie with all this Vr stuff but it's all pretty simple and with the tray thing, it really solves the core issues with oculus home anyways. Persistent running services and poo poo.

If anyone does want to just use the steam walls while in steamVR programs, a handy tip if you didn't know is from the oculus menu (the one you bring up pressing the "O" button on the right touch), you can turn off the oculus walls in about 2 seconds.
