Yes, on Index at least you put your hands in position, activate the grips, and the PCs hands grip the controls. You can move your hands to manipulate the controls. Little awkward, and seems very touchy on the stick.

And another For No Man Sky: how is the performance? Any tips of getting it to run well? (On rift s with i9 9900k and a 1080ti) Been hearing a lot of conflicting reports from it’s performance from being dogshit with a 2080ti to ok.

(On rift s with i9 9900k and a 1080ti) It seems completely random as to what is working for people and will most likely get ironed out in patches. I have two friends with pretty much identical mid range systems, as I built them for them and they are having completely opposite experiences. Just sounds horrendously optimized for PCVR and the devs didnt test it at all before release which is pretty lol but sounds pretty on brand for Hello Games.

It seems like they botched the implementation of VR somewhat. It seems like the per eye resolution it renders is based on your desktop resolution or something.

Direct mode isn’t enabled so you have to uncouple your HMD from your desktop refresh. I have a 2600x and a 1080ti and it’s struggling hard but uncoupling the refresh apparently helps a lot

The Walrus posted:How do cockpit controls work in VR? do you have a virtual throttle and stick? Virtual throttle and stick and the stick is controlled entirely by hand tilt, not movement. Feels odd to me because with a flight stick you're generally moving your hand, not just tilting. I'm sure I could get used to it fairly quickly if I tried. FYI, NMS works over Virtual Desktop streaming with no issues. I did have some lag when flying around planets but it was game lag as stuff loaded in while flying above the planet surface, not streaming lag.

(On rift s with i9 9900k and a 1080ti) I'm on an i7-8700k and 1080ti with 32GB of RAM and the game installed on an M2 NVME SSD that gets insane read/write speeds and it was still stuttering occasionally when flying over planets. Felt like texture/terrain/model loading hiccups, not really rendering slow downs since both audio and video hiccuped simultaneously.

I'm hype for Armored Front to enter EA on the 30th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9Q2s6T3Vq8 Apparently Ultimate Fishing Sim VR drops the same day; I've heard the 2d version pales compared to competitors, but it almost has to be better than Catch & Release. I tried to like c&r, but it just doesn't feel like fishing.

I have an i7-4990k, Titan X, and 32 gigs 'o memory and it ran like dried poo poo upon my first attempt. After it crashed while in the Nexus I looked at the Steam forums to see what people were saying and found the following: Some person on Steam posted:Alright, people. I got it to run smooth without reprojection. Previously, reprojection was constantly active. Worked like a charm. There still some hitching when landing on planets, but other than that it's smooth sailing.

I tried that QuakeQuest sideload game for about 15 min. Then I got an overwhelming queasy sensation and had to set the quest down for the night. It was pretty fun while it lasted, but the movement is a tad weird (wherever your facing determines what direction you travel) and motion sickness inducing.

Yea posted in the NMS thread as I just finished playing for a few hours (Time flies in VR in NMS drat). Game feels great in VR and so far with my old X79 rig and a 2080, no performance hitches whatsoever (I already had my screen/setup dialed in V-Sync wise for G-Sync so that helped). My work PC with the same 6 core but a 560Ti does have the the crash before the game starts so at least the one that is crashing isn't the important one. This is really a great game in VR as everyone had hoped, and they did a really good job making it work. I will be spending a lot more time in it than before.

Congratulations on being one of the lucky few to not have horrific performance issues with it! I'm running a 980ti, which generally handles everything in VR wonderfully, and it's in constant reprojection on the lowest settings. It runs basically identically on the highest settings. I played about an hour, and it was fairly neat, but I'm going to refund it if there isn't a fix within the next two weeks. And yes, I've turned off vsync, reduced the desktop resolution, set the maximum fps to my headset fps, and all the other stuff people are suggesting online.

Gooch181 posted:I'm hype for Armored Front to enter EA on the 30th. Ultimate Fishing Sim is basically if you took the Free to Play poo poo out of Fishing Planet. It's a good purchase if you liked Fishing Planet but don't want to be forced to catch 5000 trout before you're allowed to fish for salmon (or Pay2Win past that grind). Not a wonderful game, but it's lazy and chill and works decently well. The lure play is hella gamey, though. Gotta do some exacting rhythm or it'll be like "your lure movement is unappealing to literally every fake fish in the video game, sorry." I'm with you on C&R. I didn't play too much, but it seems focused on a really weird model of float fishing with no gear selection beyond bait, and the fighting feels hella unrealistic. Like, I drop my bait next to my boat, maybe 5ft of line out, and this tiny fish gets hooked, and I can't just pull it out of the water or my line will break (and there's no drag setting). Instead, just let it fight as hard as it can and then it basically gets caught by slingshotting itself out the water and into your face. It feels dumb as hell.

That's nice to hear about UFS. Yeah, the physics in C&R are just insane, as you mentioned. Regarding NMS; I managed to get it to boot in vr as long as the controllers aren't on. It let me select difficulty and got into the game screen, but it wouldn't accept m/kb commands. As soon as I turned them on, it crashed.

I would also check steamvr superscaling for NMS. FPSVR reports that steamvr is applying 150% SS to the game, which is probably part of my problem. I get the feeling even a 1080ti isn’t enough to superscale NMS VR Unfortunately I noticed that at the very end of my play session, so I’ll try adjusting it tomorrow

I also tried no mans sky tonight and it was absolutely smooth for me on default settings (9900k and 2080 on a Rift S). I have a 144hz gsync monitor. I never launched the game outside of VR so maybe it’s not holding on to some older preset that wouldn’t have existed if I’d never launched it in desktop mode or something but it looked and played great. Flight controls suck a bit but I’ll probably get used to them, or I’ll find some way to use an Xbox controller for flight and touch controllers for everything else. Really impressed.

Yeah free movement or most cockpit stuff gets me super dizzy and I even work in VR. I'm prone to dizzyness a bit irl though. I tried Aircar the other night and lasted about 5 (very cool) minutes before I had to stop and was pretty much low key dizzy for the rest of the evening.

I recently got myself a PSVR and have been enjoying it so far. I wanted to get the Trover bundle, but they weren't available at the store I got it from, so I got the Blood & Truth one instead which also included a pair of Move controllers which I was intending on getting anyway. Blood & Truth so far has been an entertaining shooting game that also features a few fun VR motion controls such as just pointlessly playing with random toys in the environment. For example: some of the collectibles are a bunch of vapes you can actually use if you hold them up to your face and blow in the headset's mic (no mechanical effects). One of the other games I got immediately was Star Trek: Bridge Crew Which has been fun playing solo, but I'd like to know if anyone wants to play together (cross platform play is apparently available, so PC players can join). Does anyone have any other suggestions for PSVR games? I admit I'm a bit of a weeb and a fan of anime and anime games. I plan on getting Trover Saves the Universe eventually.

I think there was a bunch of instability added in the big update because even pancake players are reporting constant crashes. Luckily it doesn't seem to affect me. Though I have had a bunch of freezes that I thought were leading to a crash when I hadn't saved in a while.

A great job with everything but optimization. Wowzer. Tip posted:Congratulations on being one of the lucky few to not have horrific performance issues with it! Yeah this is exactly where I'm at. I've tried everything and can not get it to run well period no matter the settings and voodoo suggestions of changing settings. It really runs unacceptably bad, when I can also run FO4VR with minimal reprojection, and a lot more graphic bling turned on. Theres something really fishy and they got some patchin' to do. There are other little problems with it as well. overall they did a good job bringing motion controls into it, but there are some frustrating quirks that show its development for PSVR with minimal porting to PC. The most obvious is your hands aren't where they're supposed to be. They're not where your hands are, but a few inches out, clearly from when it was designed for psvr wands. Its a small thing, but its also disappointing you don't have any real hand control, they just open and close in a binary way. Its also a bit of a nuisance that it shows oculus support, but actually only uses steamVR and the extra little bits of headache that brings. It would have been nice for them to have native support, or at least have that noted on their store page and not just list oculus support on the side. Really though, thats all minor, the big issue is the performance. Theres so much variance in reports of performance, not just in people with different setups, but people with the same setups have vastly different experiences, or people with worse systems having it run better than people with better systems. Its all just really fucky and they need to do some serious bug squashing and optimization. ShichiNoBushi posted:I recently got myself a PSVR and have been enjoying it so far.

I think one that can always get recommended is SuperHot. Beatsaber as well, but the PSVR version doens't have modding or custom songs. Rec Room is free, and has a lot of fun activities, particularly the various quest modes to check out. NMS just launched their big VR update and, from the sound of everything the PSVR version doesn't have any of the performance issues. I forget everything thats on PSVR, but you might want to check out the PSVR specific thread here, they should have more suggestions as well. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3790293

I mean, its honestly so close to being there, because there really is some good use of VR controls especially for a port, like opening your cockpit canopy to exit the ship is great, the inventory and menu all work well in vr, the virtual controls for ship flight work well (though are super touchy and i had to turn the sensitivity way down), its just... they need to do some patching.
