Is there a mod to get the Rift S a little farther away from my face? Lasted a lot longer in last night's session and managed to figure out, everything crisps up and plus all the text on the screen can be read, if I extend the HMD as far as it will go using the button on the bottom and then stretch it another 1/2" or so away from my face. Changing settings and the like was next to impossible with the blurry text. Used on hand to hold the HMD off my face a bit--and it was perfect. Rolled up some socks and stuffed them around the sides for a race or two and as ghetto as it looked, it worked. As soon as I removed the socks--I could see the rings in the lens and everything back to blurry. Seems like there are lots of mods for the Quest, but didn't see anything about extending a Rift S. Anything out there you guys know about? Am I doing it wrong? Tonight, I'll probably try clean socks...

Sounds more like you need corrective lenses in your HMD, or you have an incorrectly assembled product. I'm not an optometrist, mind you. What's your IPD?

How sturdy is the Quest generally? Going to Florida in a couple weeks for the holidays and my sisters want to try it, but I dunno if I want to risk my expensive piece of tech by shoving it in a suitcase. Is there some sort of carrying case people use?

67.5 is my ruler on the forehead looking in a mirror IPD reading... (And set the Rift S to 67.4 in the settings, but know what you are talking about with the fixed 64mm.) Saw it mentioned in the thread about corrective lenses. I have a few questions about corrective lenses too!  Which prescription would you want? I'd assume you want a prescription for readers? I have progressive lenses and computer lenses which are readers with the distance extended a bit. (As an fyi--my computer glasses fit under the Rift S cowl and make no difference in legibility of text. Still have to pull the HMD away from my face a bit to get focus--which I'm guessing only lends credence to IPD issues?)And are the lenses interchangeable? i.e. If I get lenses to fit the Rift S, can I swap them into a Quest? My guess is with Lenovo making the Rift S, those lenses are going to be unique to the headset? My brother tossed his Quest into a shoe box to transport to our Thanksgiving feast. Worked well. Has me shopping for a 2070 and faster processor now, though so gently caress him.

Jesus... please help me turn off the haptic feedback of my oculus rift s controllers!! I hate it. It causes the batteries to leak power like a sieve. It's the worst thing. I've searched the internets and found nothing but other people clamoring for that feature... any help here? I'm considering just tearing apart the controllers and ripping out the wires from whatever haptic device is in there.

So I went to re-install the Oculus software so I could check out some exclusives... ... the installer FORCES you to install to the C: drive? ... you have to run it from command line to install to other drives? What in the ever loving gently caress are you thinking, Facebook? What the loving poo poo is this garbage? Why even have a loving GUI installer if its so hardcoded?!  Its just completely baffling. What.... why???VR gamers are babies that can't be trusted to choose where to install software to?!?!? I can't understand this.

Reminds me of Pool of Radiance 2. When you installed it to something other than the C drive, the uninstall would just delete everything off the C drive when it didn't find the game there.

Either Myth or Myth 2 had a similar problem where it would delete the entire root folder of where you installed the game, not just the game folder, so if you installed it to C: then it would basically format your drive. They had to pull the game from store shelves literally the night before it went on sale and reprinted all copies at enormous cost.

I have the actual Oculus software on my C drive, but the folder it downloads games to on another drive, and that seems to work.

HycoCam posted:Which prescription would you want? As per VR Optician (regarding the correction parameters): quote:Your far distance prescription (and not your reading or PC prescription) quote:Our Oculus Rift S adapters are the same as the ones for the Oculus Go and the Oculus Quest - with the only difference being that the Oculus Quest is the only one with a variable physical IPD (inter-pupillary distance). If you already have Oculus Go adapters, you can use them for the Oculus Rift S as well. If you already have Oculus Quests adapters, you could try whether they work for you despite not being adjusted for your IPD.

EbolaIvory posted:Curious, Why? Because lots of people have an SSD as their C drive for windows and it doesn't have a ton of free space left?? Its more than a few gigabytes, you should have the choice of where to install it. That's so basic. Its just a trivial thing to solve and should never be an issue. Assuming any drive letter is anything in particular is ridiculously stupid and defeats half the point of having an OS.

I'm actually curious if anyone has a reason other than storage, Figured that'd be the first complaint and should have just said "except that" because storage is trivial.

I think "because offering the option is a solved problem for like 30+ years of PC computing" is a reasonable enough point to make against a modern piece of software made by, ostensibly, a modern PC software/hardware developer. "Just buy more storage" isn't a reasonable solution to a problem that has been solved that long. I don't like having programs on the C Drive, literally every other software I've installed in the last 20 years I've been installing software has given me the option. It is, at the very least, strange, that they don't here.

Btw https://support.oculus.com/1142129705828091/ Obnoxious as it is, This does exist. FWIW I've had a few applications and such over the years (nearing 30 years huehue) require or highly recommend using the system drive. Sometimes theres legit reasons for it, Even if they are stupid reasons. >_>

That there exists a pretty silly workaround to a problem that, again, should just be in the installer like every other piece of software in the world, doesn't really work in Facebook's favour. Clearly the program doesn't need to be on the system drive, otherwise they wouldn't publish a workaround, and yet.

Because, its a base app that I want to run as good as possible, and my system drive is the fastest drive. So like, It makes no sense to me to move it anyways. Guessing, thats probably what oculus said too. "Lets gatekeep people from dropping this on a lovely drive thats too slow".

Nemesis Of Moles posted:did you design the program or something What makes you assume that? I'm simply looking at it from the other side of the coin. Hell, I don't even use a rift anymore, Vive Pro Wireless Master Race. My investment is having a conversation and actually understanding a logical reason as to why its a big deal other than "MY FREEDOM!". Because MAYBE theres something valid there, and MAYBE its something that could be passed on to others if it makes sense. MY FREEDOM/STORAGE isnt though. Storage is super cheap, so its really non issue to someone who can afford a VR ready computer in 2019. SO what other actual real reasons are there to be "upset" that you cant move it off the main system drive, which, in most cases is the fastest drive and makes the most sense for your VR backbone to be running on it anyways.

I guess it's because like 4 seperate people have told you 4 separate reasons for the bad design being bad and you keep insisting people can just buy a new SSD, run the installer in CMD or not install it on a laptop as reasonable alternatives to "just do whatever every single installer program ever made does"

No actual reason as to why it being on C is bad other than that. Thats my point. 4 Separate people have parroted that it "sucks i cant change it" but not actually saying "because this reason". And the only thing people have really focused on, was storage space. So no?
