So it’s been a while since I kept up to date with any Quest news — is there anything I can install or hack to get it streaming/casting to Twitch or Discord? Is Facebook streaming still as good as it’s going to get? E: I’ll answer my own thing here. I ended up with some good/great results by buying a cheap Chomecast-receiver app for my Mac and just casting to that. From there I could re-broadcast that to Twitch/Youtube via OBS or Discord directly. Works really well IMO. Much preferable to Facebook’s thing. There may be a cheaper/free way to do it but I couldn’t be bothered to look for any open-source Chromecast receivers so I was fine paying the twenty bucks or whatever for the functionality. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Apr 29, 2020 |

Anyone tried the new Beatsaber track generator? UploadVR suggests it works pretty well on certain types of songs: https://uploadvr.com/beat-sage-ai-beat-saber-custom/ Thinking about trying it out on a couple of tracks I mapped last month, I think my efforts were fine but quite... nontraditional in style compared to what the community seems to like in BS maps lol.

Ok, so I have more stupid question. The Queet 128gb is back in stock on amazon, but is £100 more expensive than 64gb. I want to just use it for link so that extra storage is useless for me, but did anybody else go for the 64 under the same thinking and regret filling it up?

Even then I'd say wait for the 64gb to come back in stock (as it has a few times in the last 2 weeks) and just spend the extra £100 on cables and poo poo for Link.

Squeenix aren't exactly hard up for money, and the investment return on a game the scale of Dragon Quest made for just the Oculus store wouldn't even come close to breaking even. Something like that (even if "just" a DQ game with a VR mode option) would absolutely be a SteamVR game, just to try and hit a decent sales figure across as many potential platforms as possible.

I've been enjoying my Vive (basic, not pro) for more than a year now and I'm thinking of upgrading to Index. I definitely want the controllers because Vive wands suck, but what about the headset? One thing I wanted to do in VR was play sims like Elite and Warthunder in VR but the screen door effect and hard to read text really turned me off - is that better with the index headset?

anyone got a shortlist of good sitting games? got my quest and link in yesterday, been messing with it a bit, and while i have enough room for the smaller roomscale stuff i can't really play it much past 11 without annoying the neighbors i've started playing GNOG which I had free on Epic and it seems good and cute. I wanted to play dirt rally, but as far as I can tell, dirt rally 1 on steam does not support oculus link (I cannot get it to launch in VR), dirt rally 2.0 on xbox game pass does not support VR, and dirt rally 2.0 on steam is like sixty bucks so ugh also, are there any oculus games that are known to be worse on Quest than on PC? I think if not I'm just gonna stick with buying as much on Quest as I can. the only one I know to avoid is Beat Saber for the extra complications of custom songs

Star Trek Bridge Crew as well is fun as long as oyu like playing with strangers. Theres lots of sims, driving, flying, space across the board. Also a good chunk of regular VR games are perfectly fine being played seated, from HL:A to Lone Echo. I'll think you'll find more often than not you can play a game seated, though there are definitely some exceptions like say Onward, that don't allow that.

Speaking of VRChat in general, the Udon showcase stuff has been really impressive. According to the dev livestream they did recently they reckon you can just about mimic any game you can think of with it natively (As opposed to the old way of making Triggers do things they were never intended for to work with the VRChat Unity whitelist). https://twitter.com/ville672/status/1253827679842971649 https://twitter.com/frfrfruits/status/1254384689852252161 https://twitter.com/_Lati_/status/1254389493085372416

I had the thought when I got my Quest that it's like the Switch, you'll probably notice the graphical downgrade if you played it elsewhere but if you don't you won't really notice it. The bigger difference I think is just whether you want to play the game on or off the Link, like I can't imagine playing Beat Saber with a cable attached to the headset and I think there are Dark Arts to get custom songs onto the Quest version anyway.abraham linksys posted:as far as I can tell, dirt rally 1 on steam does not support oculus link (I cannot get it to launch in VR), dirt rally 2.0 on xbox game pass does not support VR, and dirt rally 2.0 on steam is like sixty bucks so ugh It is kind of annoying how some games just don't play nice with the Link even if they support SteamVR, and if they do work with the Link it can be touch and go whether they work with the Touch controllers. I wanted to play Ballistic NG earlier in VR and it launched in VR mode but still in that virtual desktop window which was frustrating.

So I've used my Quest maybe 2 or 3 times since this covid hit the US. I think I just need to accept that the tech isn't quite where I need it in order to be enthusiastic about it. How many other Quest users in this thread have thought about selling it and waiting for things to mature before delving back into VR?

Load up bmbf in the quest and sync the files and your golden. Basically the only thing you need to do is wait to update when the game gets updated until the devs have updated bmbf to support anything that gets broken with the Beat Saber updates.

I'm also not super enthusiastic fan unlike other people, imo there are still not a lot of GOOD games for VR, the kind that will stand the test of time, and things like VR videos (yesterday I was watching some concerts on youtube VR, and while it started with a decent video quality, the moment the video started to mix darkness and blinking lights of the concerts it all turned into what it seemed a 360p video) also makes me think we still are in the early adopter phase of the technology. Maybe in two more years?

Have anyone tried to connect some Bluetooth headphones with the Quest? Using the setting app in Sidequest, like https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-headphones-oculus-quest edit: my old TWS connected, not the new ones. The latency was hilariously high, in Eleven TT the ping pong ball 1st bounce would sound closer to the visual of the second bounce. I guess this is why it's disabled and hidden.

The thing about the Quest (and VR in general) at it's current stage it is it really lends itself to short, repeatable experiences, or multiplayer. The budgets for the kinds of grand games with long, immersive stories that people are used to on PC and console are out of reach for most developers budgets and as such are very slow between releases. As someone whose played a million games in my lifetime and generally gets bored easy once I've seen all of the mechanics, I often find myself looking for the next thing. Especially with how time poor I am with a demanding job and kids. It took me awhile to shift my mindset back into the games I already have and retry levels to get better scores, improve my runs or use them to stay fit. But I've had a great time doing so.
