I put on a decent set of over the ear headphones and I'm completely immersed into Beat Saber.

Nah I've played Ring Fit late at night and not gotten complaints, and I'm stepping way softer in Beat Saber than I do in that game.

I don't think it's possible for stock Quest audio to pass through anything, it barely makes it into your years and there are holes there specifically for that.

Speaking of Quest audio, does anyone else have a very clear audio distortion/tone shifting sometimes when using Link?

The VR Ears kickstarter is up - I like the Index speakers so I hope these will fill the gap!

Audio distortion like that in my experience of using USB audio interfaces is generally related to USB itself, try a different port and unplug any external hard drives as they are what does it for me mainly

Is an i9-9900k @ 5ghz and an nVidia RTX 2080 Ti Founder's Edition enough for 144hz on the index? I'd think so, but that could also be futureproofing on their part.

I mean, thats almost literally the best setup money can buy. Its as good as it can get. 144hz is up to the game settings at that point

But anyway, it'll be fine for some games, and not for others at 144hz. There does not exist a computer that will run DCS World acceptably at 144hz, for example, but it'll be fine for games that aren't unoptimized trash.

You can run DCS at 144fps, just turn the steamvr scaling down to 0.0000000001%.

Any goons from the UK got a source on where I could nab a Quest? I've been checking daily and had no luck on the big sites, I was hoping some underground nerd sites might stock them

I've been checking daily and had no luck on the big sites, I was hoping some underground nerd sites might stock them I searched every tech site I knew and none had any when I was looking for mine. Best bet is just to set up a stock alert on a tracker site and hope you get to it fast enough (Amazon had them in for about 7 minutes when I got mine), though you missed a brief period the last few days where stock was in a few places including the actual Oculus site. The other option is keeping an eye on Argos, there's reliably been a few stores with stock on that front so have a look see if any are close enough for you.

https://pastebin.com/GBfpKXMsquote:Yes, Oculus. We had and to some degree still have a good relationship and wanted the Rift to be sold under SteamVR co-branding but Alan Yates despises them. He's still pissed about Michael Abrash's departure and slings mud at Oculus for every chance he gets. The VR team had an open exchange of research with Oculus before I joined the company. He quickly killed every chance we ever had at a proper partnership when he started accusing them of stealing, even though both sided profited greatly from the exchange.

Dang, I've pre-ordered through Scan which is apparently due for the 12th May but I'll be keeping an eye open for anything that comes up sooner. I've checked Argos, closest seems to be South Wales which sucks. Thanks for the tips though!

I met Alan Yates at a Makers Faire a few years ago and he was legit cool af. Haven't met any Oculus folk but can safely say Facebook as an organization is absolutely scummy and parasitical and do not have good intentions for consumers or the societies they use as hosts

They screwed up the launch and insist on unnecessary margins of about 10% on top of BOM and staff. We agreed to a partnership under the impression that they would sell at cost. They're close to cost but still making profit on the hardware, which we didn't agree to and are not okay with. We're actively looking for additional partners for Steam VR branded headsets.

It is pretty interesting but I can't see how a 'lol let's make this maybe idk' sort of free-flow structure that Valve has vs. the stock-driven money money money data data data Facebook, and by extension, Oculus, could have meshed well even without ruiner-Yates. It still doesn't explain why Oculus won't support non-Oculus headsets on their own store. It's also curious that the 2018 date since that is well into Half-Life Alyx's development so it's odd to see the guy bring it up at all, and then to say "weren't even thinking about a first party VR game, let alone Half-Life" if he indeed was working on VR at Valve. Would make sense to say they weren't because that's what you do when something is secret but why bring it up in the first place? In closing, I still blame Facebook

Got into the Echo VR alpha on the Quest and it's a ton of fun. Does anyone know if there is a way to play against the AI solo for practice? I think I grabbed the disk a few times while playing with people and they were all really nice but I'd like to play a few more rounds against the AI so I am not completely useless.

I think if you select Vs AI you should be able to get in solo matches, I think as long as you don't choose co-op or join with a party you should end up solo

They've specifically disabled skill based matchmaking until they get more people in the beta, otherwise they were having problems with matches taking forever to start That said yes I hope they turn it back on really soon lol unless those players are going out of their way to make it fun for the newer players it's just no fun all around

It's easily one of the most polished experiences I have seen on the Quest and when you get in matches with similar skill levels it's a ton of fun. There's obviously a huge skill ceiling which is great and leaves a whole lot to work towards. It also needs a decent amount of space. Found myself jumping and diving for that disc which makes playing it on the Quest such a huge benefit. If you know of any good how to's and tips or can point me in the direction of some, it would be greatly appreciated!

Facebook only started swapping out Oculus' management for their guys in the last few years, so that'd be back when they were more Oculus and less FacebookVR with a friendly brand name. The actual game is also irrelevant in regards to HTC, the point is that HTC made false marketing claims that threw Steam under the bus for a game that was functionally non-existent.
