I'd like to play more NMS but boy is the performance garbage. I can barely even sustain 45 fps on lowest settings, with frequent dips to 40s and 30s, and my machine is within "VR Ready" pecs GTX 1060, Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB RAM, game installed on an SSD. Ship flying controls are...interesting? but loving hell it's near impossible to hit a moving target with them. I also don't understand why the game doesn't like me crouching in the center of my playing field. It starts yelling about me being out of bounds for no good reason. Also after the 90 minutes of playtime it crashed for no good reason, on an Oculus Rift. Hopefully they'll sort that out, especially the performance issues. I'd like to play more. EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure that the performance is GPU bound on my machine yet somehow the GPU usage barely goes above 85%. Something fucky is going on there.

Well on this part at least, If you're not hitting 90 asw will kick in and limit it to 45 fps, so that would take some strain off the GPU. However if it's not even staying at a consistent 45 bit it's only at 85, you might have other issues.

I had nms crash after the hello games logo. I had to update my Nvidia driver, but before that worked I had to go into windows update and make sure a couple stuck updates finished. Now I was able to all the way to flying to another planet (then it was bedtime).

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. There's a separate PSVR thread, might have more luck asking there. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3790293

Well VR is still in a state where every game requires you to play settings janitor. That’s not a NMS problem.

Played about 3 hours of NMS VR in multiplayer and had a great time. After the standard VR Fumbling Moment where you try to figure out how to use the interface I got in my ship and visited my friends base and exploring planets is every bit as awesome as I hoped it would be. I visited my base I made on the flatscreen years ago because I liked the area overlooking a huge trench and man was that awesome to see in VR. I think it'd be super cool to use the desktop screens on the Rift and watch some movies on a verdant garden planet like it was a open door theatre. There's no option for head turn direction control which is annoying, it wants you to use snap turn or smooth turning instead which I never enjoy doing. I much prefer to physically turn my body, but at least with front facing I can have my chair behind me and sit in it when I get in an exocraft or a ship. I love how you have to open the canopy to get out and how pretty the interiors are. People on the flat get to see you move your arms etc but from what I've heard the avatars are a complete mess and also their position for the multitools are bugged to sin, but freaking out your friends by rubbing their faces is still a good laugh and blasting around the planet on an exocraft is exhilarating. My PC is fairly beefy (8700k, 2080, 16gb RAM) so no real performance issues except some ASW on the initial load.

I just tried Tea for God on my Quest, and I highly recommend it. It uses the "Unseen Diplomacy" style of locomotion, to trick you into walking in circles through a non-euclidean complex, using only natural movement. I have a 2.5m x 2.5m play area, and I completely felt like I was exploring a huge area. It's weird how quickly your brain gets used to the impossible spaces. I hope we will start to see full games using this style of locomotion. SimonChris fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Aug 15, 2019 |

Played some NMS last night and it worked well after I turned some of the graphics down. The controls for flying seem super sensitive, turned them down quite a bit but still a little difficult to get things exactly since there is no resistance on the stick. I'm on a 144hz gsync monitor so maybe that is the issue others are having? Is the mining beam gone though? It seems like I just punch stuff to mine down which is.. weird.

I did end up running out of juice and forced to punch a few trees to get carbon.

How much space would you say you need for it to work? I can clear some more space in the room I usually in but I'm not sure I can get to 2.5 x 2.5 anywhere in my home at the moment.

I can clear some more space in the room I usually in but I'm not sure I can get to 2.5 x 2.5 anywhere in my home at the moment. I think 2m x 2m should work. That gives the game 4 1m2 squares to work with. Anything less than that, and you can't really walk around very well. Anyway, it's free, so you may as well give it a shot . If you are using Quest, it's on SideQuest.

I think the important question is, does NMSVR support finger tracking with Index controllers, and can you flip off your friends? I'll be testing this out myself later on but got poo poo to do today.

Everything else has been just dandy out of the box. It would take me a minute to even remember how to change my supersampling settings or something like that. I mean I was around for the era of DK1 and strapping Hydras into a fanny pack on your chest with three hours of prep for a 15 minute play session and it was what it was, but I expect new AAA poo poo to at least use interfaces that were around for the CV1 now.

Well I know they do probably have some optimization to do, but I also did have an 980Ti and wanted a little extra oomph for both VR and Ultrawide gaming so hence the 2080 upgrade (which should be roughly the same performance as a 1080Ti). Though others even with a 1080Ti have reported some performance issues as well and I am even running the Rift through SteamVR which usually has a performance penalty as well for all games that go through it to the Rift (VS using say a Vive or other SteamVR headset). Really weird how inconstant the reports seem to be but without being able to really one on one diagnose with someone I can't say what to change to make things better right off the bat. If someone would like me to take a look and see if I can spot something that would probably be to blame, feel free to PM me. Troubleshooting PC's is sort of my thing. :/ I was as surprised as anyone how I was able to plug in my Rift, fire up Steam VR, and the game just worked right off the bat. Even the audio was just a single switch in the Audio Settings in Win10 away and it just worked. Usually I am always tinkering with something to get it to work for at least a hour or two, and by that time I am done wanting to play VR at all. One thing I do need to get soon is a replacement Rift cable. Mine seems to have an issue somewhere where the screen will go black in short bits and if I don't wiggle it back in the right way, it will eventually conk out and I have to exit and unplug/replug to get it to work again.

Dirt Rally 2 good or not? Steam reviews dropped to mixed. Some of that is complaints about needing to buy again on the Oculus store, but there's plenty of performance complaints. --edit: Also, what happened to Boneworks? Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Aug 16, 2019 |

It ran fine for me but I dropped everything to potato graphics before I started. I might try some graphics optimization later but for $30 it's great as is, it still feels like dirt in vr

NMS works best if you have a chair behind you and switch between standing in place and sitting. It starts complaining if you even try to crouch.
