I disabled mirroring with a command line flag for project cars and my frame rate went way up and was able to crank the supersampling so it looks really good and is super smooth. I was just hoping there was some way to do it system-wide.

Echo Arena must be the first game I've encountered that isn't bullshitting when it recommends 16 GB of RAM. I only have 12 and it runs fine for the most part, but I actually get low memory warnings/crashes now and then.

Low memory warnings usually means you have customized your page file settings which means you are a bad. Set them back to system managed, Windows knows best.

The first parts of Lone Echo are rad. AAA VR games are rad. The payola and walled gardens are worth it.

At this point I think it's pretty clear that Echo Arena is the best VR game. It's not just "good for a VR game" - they've developed something really fun and addictive on its own. Stands up there with the best multiplayer sports games. I tend to go through cycles with my Rift where I'll play a lot it for a while then shelve it for a few weeks, but I think I'm going to be shoving my couch out of the way a lot more often thanks to this game.

You shouldn't be getting that message unless your page file is too small, thats what that message means. Windows essentially has as much memory as there is in your system PLUS the maximum size of your page file. Is the disk your page file on low on space?

Oh man Lone Echo is so good. I knew the mechanics would be great from the echo arena beta, but the single player is stellar. It's probably the best single player VR game I've played yet, and the first I'd really call 'AAA'... whatever thats supposed to mean anymore. Definitely worth the money, it feels like a full priced single player campaign and visuals so far. So $40 USD? Thats a better use of my money than 2 movie tickets. All I can say is I played for 4 hours straight so far and I want to keep playing. I don't know how long it is, but I already missed a lot of stuff at the beginning I didn't bother to do (really wish I had explored more at the start instead of just progressing the story) so I'm going to have to play it again when I finish anyways. I would really recommend this to anyone. I mean, no one has the same taste so nothing is a guarantee, but if I had to recommend a vr game this is what I would recommend. Even running it through revive shouldn't be an issue, if the controls were a bit finicky in the Echo Arena beta, i imagine it should be a lot better in the single player campaign because you don't have the frantic multiplayer aspect of needing to boost and thrust every split second against other humans. The one thing I don't know is how well it will perform though, i have a 980ti, an older card to be sure, but this is still the first VR game that I couldn't have SS turned up. Once I got outside it started chugging so I had to drop that to 1.0. Even then with everything on high there were a couple times I could tell ASW was really working its butt off. Man oh man though, after playing for 4 hours straight, getting out of VR and grabbing a drink of water made me feel reaaaal weird and sluggish at not being able to float around my house. vvvvvvv

I played all the way through Lone Echo in one sitting. I really enjoyed it. I did think that the whole "avoid the walls" mechanics got a little tiresome near the end, but by that time I had a great understanding of the controls and hazards so I was just flying through everything. I really wanna play some Echo Arena tomorrow, but tomorrow is also Splatoon 2 day. Hmm.

I'm going to be honest here Echo Arena is way more fun than Splatoon As someone with every Splatoon amiibo and who was ranked S in Splatoon 1 pains me to say it, but Echo Arena is really loving good

I finally got around to trying Star Trek, but when I went for quick match, there were literally no games available - it almost instantly put me in my own hosted game. Is this just my connection loving around? Seems odd that there would be no-one out there playing across all three platforms, even if it is the middle of the day.. Also played some Echo Arena and it's just great. But goddamn I need more space. It's more easy to get completely turned around and disoriented in it than in any other game I've tried, I think (which would make sense). I do agree with people who say it needs an option for 'palming' off surfaces and objects, instead of the only option now which is grabbing to push yourself off things. Someone said requiring grab is a balance factor, but it seems to me that it means more of the time in matches is spent drifting around with your jets & booster, as opposed to really using the geometry. That seems a shame. Might be just my newbie-ness though.

Sefal posted:There we go. Gonna give it a shot. Just to be clear, its not "free for 3 months then you have to pay to keep playing". If you grab it anytime in the next 3 months you have it forever for free, but after 3 months if you want to pick it up they're adding a $20 price to it (unless you buy the single player portion, Lone Echo then you get it for free with it. Which I also suggest you do because it's the best single player VR game I've played). EDIT: Oh, also make sure you have the latest version of revive, and if you hate judder problems, disable async reprojection, and turn on always on reprojection, that should fix it. You can also add this revive addition to swap the grip and trigger. Since echo arena relies on grabbing all the time, that can make it a lot easier for vive folk since you'll only have to use the grip button for punching, and the trigger will do all your grabbing.

I'm still getting terrible judder in lone echo even with settings down to low, always on repro, and a 50% render scale. I'm running a 1080 but I guess it's time to finally upgrade my fx8350 and 8 gigs of ram.

One thing I did notice is that you can hold the grip button ahead of time before you touch a surface and it will automatically "grab" it. You still have to let go of it, but it's a little more natural at least. This auto-grab thing works with the disc too, btw

I'm terrible at War Thunder but just flying around some of the sunny maps really gives me a new perspective on the Second World war, like, it's fresh and current rather than being a grainy video of it. It's very interesting to me as it makes it possible to imagine the people involved, fighting on sunny days in an otherwise beautiful setting and how surreal that must have been.

You should try IL-2 Battle for Stalingrad, it's a lot more grim in winter overcast. Pretty easy to pick up sim with a lot of depth and realism.

So I gave Echo Arena a shot on my Vive, and while it seems like a fun game, I can't like it with the Vive controls. Using the touchpad to press the buttons doesn't work properly IMO and I keep swiping to rotate as well. And the grip buttons suck too.
