Elenkis posted:Oculus Dash has a built in keyboard that works fine in Elite. You'll probably need to download the game from the Oculus store and run it from Home. Once you've done that you can just hit the Oculus button, select the Virtual Desktop and then there's a keyboard button in the bottom right of the desktop window which will open a big virtual keyboard and let you type in game. You don’t actually need to do that. The steam version of Elite still runs through the oculus api and dash and all that stuff still works.

I remember back when Dash was still in beta, some people were having problems with getting it all working unless it was installed through the Oculus store. That was ages ago though.

I just got a PlayStation VR today. Is there a reason the lenses seem to pick up smudges so easily? I’m obviously not touching them but they’ve gotten some smears after an hour or two of use.

Initial Impressions Skyrim VR: Dear God this is terrible. The manager that thought this was ready to be released should be forced to play it. Initial Impressions Superhot VR: More puzzle than action game, with very clear inspiration from Portal. Enjoyable enough but with only brief moments of feeling like a bad rear end. Soundboxing VR: Still awesome, still hands down the game that most consistently makes me feel awesome and happy. I should play it more than I do.

I made the mistake of trying skyrim VR first thing after getting my headset, and I refunded it almost immediately. After a few months and getting used to some of the quirks of VR I bought it again and found it much more enjoyable for whatever reason.

Gort posted:Really? I thought it was fine and it's been consistently the most-played VR game on Steam since its release. The menus are bad. Even with the SKYUIVR mod trying to navigate menus to access inventory or sell is painful. It's all touchpad based (laser pointer UI like the one in Vive home would be worlds better) so I'm constantly scrolling past the item I'm trying to select. The Perks menu is especially egregious because it often scrolls onto something semi-random and it takes a lot of guess work to get onto the perk I want to look at. Having a player's first introduction to the game be a nausea inducing cart ride is somewhere between cruel and deeply thoughtless. The tiny VR tutorial area was an attempt to fix this but one that didn't go far enough. Why can we still control a million things about the way our character looks when as VR player's we'll never see them? If there's an option to play in Third Person I didn't see it. The popup VR tutorials are a good idea, but poorly implemented. They're in these tiny boxes with small font. Should have used the same interface they use for books if they didn't want to do the work to get the popups right. I constantly knock over items I'm trying to pick up. I'm less prone to VR sickness than when I started, but the built-in locomotion options are bad enough that they make me want to stop playing after about 10 minutes and they've somehow managed to make Natural Locomotion very prone to swaying side to side like a very pronounced bowlegged stride; something I haven't seen in any of the other games I've used Natural Locomotion with. Things they did right:
It's still Skyrim. I'll probably still play at least 100 hours if I can get it to stop crashing every half hour, but Bethesda really put a minimal, or I'd argue, a less than minimal amount of effort into their port. Bad enough that instead of playing Skyrim full time the way I expected to I'm only fiddling with it inbetween other games. Edit: That was more words than I expected. Sorry for the rant, I'm going to rock out in Soundboxing now. LLSix fucked around with this message at 13:21 on Jul 23, 2019 |

This sounds dumb, but I'm oddly surprised that Thrill of the Fight gets exponentially easier the better you get at it. Being better at knocking the other guy out when you have an opportunity means not always having to fight to max match time.

I like the Thrill of the Fight overall but I don't like that it lets you get away with really bad fighting technique. You can win matches pretty easily by fighting like a 1920's strongman with super wild haymakers.

I've had to turn down my "punching strength" in the settings because 3500 joule hooks coming for the weak spots constantly can put down a lot of opponents relatively quickly. The adaptive scaling wasn't working fast enough for my liking so I disabled it. It's one of five games I use to introduce people to vr, and everyone has an absolute blast. The others are the lab, gorn, space pirate Sim, and beat saber. Vr has legitimately been the best gaming buy I've ever made.

I still physically brace myself when I bite it in a flight or racing sim. Elite Dangerous recentlyish added little ship-launched fighters, and if a larger ship smacks into you, you'll go spinning out of control like Darth Vader at the end of A New Hope, and it's disorienting as fuuuuuuuuck.

Blade and Sorcery beta got updated so your enemies have all-new combat animations, parry prediction is way better and, even cooler, enemies can now dodge and try to stay out of range of your weapons. They also flinch and react to locational damage a lot more realistically, they'll grab their legs if you give them a solid crack in the shins and slashing them will cause them to stagger. Fighting enemies feels a lot more dynamic and it can really make you break a sweat if you forego slow motion. Highly recommend trying it out!SeaGoatSupreme posted:It's one of five games I use to introduce people to vr, and everyone has an absolute blast.

I have pretty bad mura on all the HMD. My biggest issue with the O+ is I can't get it to stay still so I'm in and out of the sweet spot all of the time. The light bleed is also really disorienting. I went back to Rift/Vive and feel I have much better visuals despite the downgraded res. I was extremely unhappy with the O+ and will likely return in a few days.

Yeah, sorry the fitment issues have really ruined the experience for you. I also have some light bleed the way I wear mine, but maybe it's a lesser amount because I only notice it when the screens are off or if I'm purposely trying to look down out of the headset to check my surroundings. Unfortunately I don't have any other tips for fitment besides what I've already posted. It's definitely a weakness of the headset since even the people who are happy all seem to have gotten there through a bit of trial and error.

I'm really surprised because after a couple of hours of trying I can't get it to be even remotely acceptable but others seem to not have an issue. Only thing that makes sense to me is that my ipd of 64 is part of the issue as it looks better and better with a better sweet spot the more I can bring it in. It bottoms out at what it claims is 63 but I think my headset might be a bit higher. Maybe my lenses don't actually get as close together as they are supposed to. As an example, I have a free dev Acer WMR HMD and it looks WAY better than the O+ and has a horrible strap (not even padded) and also has the issue of being able to flip up causing it to not seal well down. I'm glad the O+ is working for most people but I would take a Rift/Vive 100 times out of a 100 over the O+ and it's baffling to me I seem to be the only one with this reaction.

It's amazing how WMR headsets are so close to being acceptable. I'd keep one around for the increased resolution and playing games seated if... 1.) They were actually comfortable to wear and strapped to one's head properly. 2.) You didn't have to use that stupid WMR interface BS and could just launch poo poo straight from SteamVR. quote:Plug in your Mixed Reality headset to open the Mixed Reality Portal. Does this mixed reality portal bypass still work? Also apparently this still goes into the Steam House and not directly into the game or application. Kazy posted:From Windows 10 1809 and up you can launch SteamVR directly from the WMR environment, it improves it a lot. But you still have to launch the WMR portal? No thanks. If a person launches the app from SteamVR or Oculus it should boot up in VR with the headset. No one likes the WMR portal. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Jan 22, 2019 |

I personally don't like the headband design that the PSVR and WMR headsets use, because it never feels like it's sitting aligned. I always feel like my PSVR headset's slightly off in some way that needs adjusting to find the sweet spot for it. With the Vive I know it's locked in properly first time, every time.
