Tim Whatley posted:Is the preferred method for Quest to still use Link Cable and the Oculus virtual desktop to boot SteamVR or is there some other app to sideload etc? Steam VR is an oculus app. Just got done with 2 hours of alyx. Had to quit due to nausea. I just started to feel a little bit of it at the 2 hour mark, so I'm taking a break for a few hours. It's good.

It isn't really a VR thing in the visuals aspect, it's the control stuff and not-ever-VR'd people never ever get that till they try it out.

Like I get where they're coming from, I was also a VR detractor but thats because I was there for the virtual boy. And when VR started getting back into traction it was basically a glorified first person view. Then 6DOF starting taking off and it amazed me when I saw people in VR doing stuff like physically looking over objects to find buttons or switches in the world. Picking myself a quest and its bonkers at how much of an experience it is. And really thats what VR is, an experience. People act like its some fancy control scheme but its not just that. Being able to physically reach over and grab a zombie's head while pulling a gun out and shooting the zombie behind it is an incredibly different experience then pushing a button and having a canned animation play. Being able to toss grenades in all kinds of different ways instead of having to turn to aim the center of your screen at a wall then press a button so the same grenade throw happens and bounces the direction you want it to go, instead of pulling a grenade out and reaching over a barrier and dropping it onto whatever was hiding behind it or underhand tossing a grenade to your side while focusing on another direction. Dual wielding and being able to shoot in 2 directions. You can't do that full screen.

I appear to be just a little below minimum specs for but haven't had any issues so far other than animations not entirely matching up to what's being spoken so it's a little like watching a dubbed movie.

Alyx is loaded and ready to go on my computer, but I'm in bed with coronavirus. This is very frustrating. I had planned to power through the exhaustion to play it at least a little, but I have a pounding headache and uhh, severe digestive issues today.

Alyx is great. Valve really nailed the feel of the interactions. Gravity gloves feel extremely natural to use after only a few minutes, and interacting with physics objects feels much more natural than in Boneworks. I feel like they may be doing a little bit of aim assist/"do what I meant" for throwing stuff, where they modify the trajectory to be more in line with where you're looking, because I'm way better at throwing in Alyx than I was in Boneworks or H3VR. I also suspect they may be doing the thing Resident Evil 4 does where they adjust the rate of putting ammo/health pickups in the world based on your performance, to keep you at a tense but comfortable level of supplies at all times, which I appreciate. It is, however, the first VR game that's made me feel like my 1080 is showing its age. It defaulted to the lowest graphical settings, and even then there are occasional stutters.

Well this sucks. This is me pushing the thumbstick all the way forward. It doesn't register as being tilted all the way forward unless I push really hard.  Conversely, me tilting the same stick down and then letting it return to the neutral position. It thinks I have the stick held tilted downward. Hopefully this doesn't necessarily make Alyx unplayable. I kind of doubt that if I RMA this thing that I'll get it back before the end of the year so I'm gonna just kinda bear it.

Can you put in for an advance RMA? That way you can start the process off and only send it in when you get a new one.

I'm glad that they realized that the TouchPad is only useful as a big button. I always just assign it as a third facebutton in games.

You can still do that, though admittedly range is more limited. A few times I leaned out of the seat to take a closer look at something and toggling crouch lets you get down pretty low. e: There is absolutely an immersion benefit, just that I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from playing it seated if they wanted or had to. It's just fine.

Good luck fellow 'rona goon, and thank you to everyone who wished me well. Health update: it's been an hour since I last destroyed my toilet and my headache is more of a dull throb now. If I stay this good for a little longer I'm probably going to attempt a short seated play session of Alyx. I'm supposed to review the game on a podcast this Friday so I need to get at least a little in during the next few days.

Possibly really stupid VR question, I just ordered a Index and my wife and I will probably have it set up on my PC which is reasonably beefy (2070 super & 2700x Ryzen which will probably be upgraded to 3700 or 3900x by time index is here), Will it be possible for me to say play a shooter (say apex) on my desktop while someone VR's?

Definitely not. Aside from the performance requirements of VR, I don’t think you can actually logistically do it

I am gonna say maybe, I have the 3900x and I play poo poo sometimes with photoshop, a few chrome tabs open, I once played Lone Echo with Guild Wars 2 open as well by accident and could alt tab to that to close it and it was still running fine, the 3900x is a good multi tasker. I dunno how much difference it makes but I have 32gb ram

Anyone have any idea how to not make Steam VR a jittery mess through the Quest? My computer is definitely above the minimum requirements (AMD 3600, 16GB ram, GTX 1080) but Alyx is all jittery when moving around and interacting with the environment. I have turned off the advanced super sampling setting in Steam VR (at least the option that's available in the settings). I don't really know what to check on the Oculus side but I haven't played with any of the settings on it in terms of visual fidelity. Seems weird since Oculus Rift games run perfectly so I am not sure what I may be overlooking. pootiebigwang fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Mar 24, 2020 |

Whew, liking Alyx so far. The thumbstick thing doesn't mess it up too horribly since you can do teleporting at the same time. I did go ahead and open a support ticket inquiring about an RMA for the left controller, though. Hopefully I get a response. We'll see!

Even snap turning is kind of broken for me, it often forgets absolute orientation. Might be a Virtual Desktop bug though. SteamVR Advanced Settings has the ability to rotate the player position at an API level and bind it to a stick. That could work better.
