I have a 2080 non-super which is basically very close to a 2070 super (loving nvidia) and it’s more than enough performance for anything I’ve thrown at it in VR at max or near max settings.

That's correct, and I guess it's not impossible to port since they ported Dota 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_2 Combat Pretzel posted:Why did Valve remove it, anyway? Probably because they didn't want "games journalism" telling people Half Life 2 officially has a VR feature and then have everyone puking their brains out with no real support or UI.

I'm now 12 hours in to HL Alyx. The freaking puzzles for unlocking the doors/boxes/etc are getting hard as hell. Have any of you replayed it? It seems to be a pretty heavily story driven game, I don't know if I'll bother doing another play through.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:I didn’t and I’m pissed that there is no good way to play HL2 and the episodes in VR in tyool 2020. It's kinda frustrating that I played an amazing fan made VR version of half life 2 in 2013, complete with hand tracked weapons with ammo counts on the side of them, and my HUD information on the back of my hand, and I can't play that now. Playing Half Life: Alyx was eerily familiar. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MH3v2VrCZ9Q&feature=youtu.be Sure, the hand controllers were wired and I had to attach one of them to my head for 6DOF tracking, but it was mindblowingly good. It took years for anything to surpass that experience, and in some ways it's still better than Alyx (running, jumping, scoped weapon, melee). They never released a version of the mod for commercially released headsets, but supposedly they're still working on it and doing things like editing the collision meshes in all the maps to make going on stairs or off small ledges smoother. Really wish they'd just release what they have and continue to update it towards their perfect version like Black Mesa did. It's been almost 7 years.

The VR implementation for HL2 was actually pretty good. It was before hand controllers existed in any way besides those razer ones, but it had all kinds of interesting control schemes. You could aim with your head, or aim with a mouse cursor that moved around on the screen. The only issue I had was that the scale was way off. I don't know if it was because I was sitting and my brain was confused, but everything seemed to be a t2/3 scale.

El Grillo posted:Yes, it's extremely annoying. Didn't there use to be a subreddit for it? Can't find that anymore. They used to post updates in there. https://www.reddit.com/r/hlvr/ It's not just for that mod, people have also been discussing a recently released VR mod for the original Half-Life that looks pretty good, and talking about the VR mod for Garry's Mod that let's you play HL2 in VR. The Garry's Mod VR is pretty good in many ways, but still fairly janky in a lot of other ways (like the setup, and getting kicked out of VR at every level transition). The seeming leader of the HL2VR mod is Wormslayer, and he's been posting some information recently in that sub-reddit. https://www.reddit.com/user/WormSlayer/comments TIP fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Mar 29, 2020 |

Thoom posted: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. Update: For work-related reasons, I ended up upgrading my CPU from an i5-4670K to a Ryzen 3900X, and now Alyx defaults to high settings and runs great.

Tip posted:Despite no SDK someone is already making progress. I can't wait for the mods. If they could add 3x more combine and ammo and turn off lock puzzles, for a dumb action new game plus mode, I would be happy. Importing Black Mesa and HL2 into the engine would be great to. So I was listening to the giantbeastcast while I was pressure washing a dock, and I started getting really annoyed about how much they hate vr. Especially how it's an insult that Alyx is vr only, and only 42 people are ever going to play it. I've been listening to bombcast and beastcast for awhile, but their take on games have been getting worse lately. Even on none vr games.

Neddy Seagoon posted:The SDK for Source 2's supposed to be coming, but Valve's not quite happy with it yet or something. The only thing Valve has said about an actual Source 2 SDK is from an AMA in February. They said they hadn't made any plans to release one back then, but would consider looking at it after HL:A released. The HL:A website advertises a toolset for making maps to be released with the game. This will likely be very similar in scope to the current toolsets Dota 2 and SteamVR Home has, basically the Hammer editor and utilities for making models, materials and particles. The store page suggest it was supposed to release with the game, but I'm guessing everyone working from home has delayed it.

It's weird that you can't seem to reload the SMG mid-clip in HL:Alyx, considering none of the other weapons give a drat about your remaining mag count. It's also surprising just how much SMG ammo the game's willing to give you, considering it's pretty drat stingy with shotgun ammo to the point there's zero reason to waste resin on it.

That decision may have been based on that becoming a total non-issue once you get the multi-mag upgrade. Still not helpful prior to that point, but it totally alleviates the problem once you get there. And yeah, I can't believe how stingy the game is with shells.

Sent an email to Kerry Davis at Valve asking for clarification on the mapping tools / SDK situation, given there's conflicting info (store page says it would "ship" with the tools). Kerry got back to me today saying the plan was for them to start on those after the release of Alyx and that there is no timeline for their release yet.

Has anyone run into an issue with Quest Link in SteamVR/Alyx where the display stops updating? Sound is still working, I can see head movement and controllers are working fine on the computer monitor but the Quest display only renders the fixed field of vision at the time it froze. Happens within 1-30 minute of playing Alyx. Haven't had issues in Asgard's or Saints & Sinners with Link, but this is my first game in SteamVR since I switched to Quest. Only way to fix it is to restart SteamVR and the headset. Haven't seen anyone post about this issue in the Steam site, wondering if it's just me or something with the Quest.

I tried rolling back the driver and re-updating it, and verifying the integrity of the game files but there was no change and the recent patches didn't solve it either. I was worried it was the cable but I don't have the same problem in H3VR or Elite so I'm at a loss. I just wanna finish the game

The game gives you more ammo based on which guns you use. Use the shotgun as your first line weapon and you'll get a lot more ammo for it, although it will never feel like enough.

The Room VR A Dark Matter is... It's freaking expensive. But also it's a quality game, this isn't one of those indie VR games done by two guys. The graphics are very good, in particular it's very well optimized and the image quality is superb for the Quest, super rare so see any aliasing at all. Of course the art is also good so the technical wizandry have a purpose. The scale is correct, and well, the game is basically another one in the series but more immersive and spectacular thanks to the VR perspective, and more fun to interact with things, using levers and ropes and gears with your hands. Length wise seems to be 3.5 hours, so it's more like Room 1 or 2 than Room 3 in duration, although the quality of the puzzles in the third scene (of four ;_;) is reminding me more of the third part.
