Zaphod42 posted:After you turned the mods off did you create a new save game from new game or did you load a save file? Ok. so it was in fact me recklessly loving around with the graphics options and not the mods which ended up being circumstantial, so good call. Got it looking/running pretty good with mods working now. I have a feeling Fallout 4 is not going to be so easy...Starting to realize why everyone despises this port so much it's a loving mess.

Experiencing it in VR is just on another level. It's still my favorite real rhythm game. Stuff like beat saber you can play without the music, since it's mainly a follow the movement dance game. Thumper actually makes me pay attention to the hard drum rhythm to beat it.

Thumper is the coolest rhythm game, but it's also crazy hard and if you are bad at rhythm games you are just SOL. I realized about 60% of the way through that it was just physically impossible for me to finish it, which sucked cause it was a badass game and i wanted to see it to the end.

It's better on vr though because of the latency.

I played it in VR. Can't really imagine playing it any other way tbh. Around the time I got to the point where regularly jumping from track to track became the norm I just couldn't do it anymore. I failed like 100 times on one level with no progress and I was just like  I am exceptionally bad at rhythm games though.

Is there any trick to getting more comfortable with smooth movement in VR other than just getting used to it? I picked up The Walking Dead: Sinners & Saints and have about two hour long sessions in it, and both times I walked away with a blistering headache and nausea. Even with the vision vignetting on movement cranked right up I still end up sick.

It worked for me. Ginger pills also can help.

So I figured out that some of my issues with games being choppy with the Link is on the link itself. Sometime when I launch the game it feels like it refuses to use the whole bandwidth of the cable (I have the official one). Can I somehow force it to a higher bitrate? Some games become unplayable once that issue pops up, and it does so pretty randomly. Also I've got no idea how to use OTT - I installed Oculus Homeless and run the VR process separately from the Oculus store, but it starts up automatically when I start using Link, and still loads home. Should I uninstall the Oculus Store once I have the OTT? EDIT: Goddamnit NVM I must have messed up when cleaning and plugged my Link into a USB3 hub instead of directly to the PC.

Echo Arena gave me my vr legs, and I've introduced it to totally green VR players as a way to get used to fluid movement. I don't know what Echo does differently, maybe it's the zero gravity? But it works. I've heard feedback of jello legs, stomach butterflies, but never nausea or headaches. Since playing that a lot I can play any fluid movement games and feel just fine.

I failed like 100 times on one level with no progress and I was just like I'm not sure it's a rhythm game thing exactly, I'm very good at rhythm games but drifted away from playing Thumper because it was getting too difficult for me to keep having fun. Hitting buttons in rhythm is one thing, but seeing the thing coming in time to figure out which button to press in time is tricky and it really doesn't give you many chances for errors.

RecRoom or VRChat would probably help as well, just for putting you in an environment where you can just hang out in VR and acclimate at your own pace in a public world, or give a game world a try.

Nalin posted:Ugh. For something touted as "VR Essentials", it sure does have a massive shitload of non-essential stuff in it. Hell, according to the instructions, you can't even start a new game without issues due to many of the mods. I've been spending time removing poo poo from the Fallout 4 VR "Essentials" modpack (eg: Here are a bunch of weapons that look like they come from a different game entirely! Thanks, that's really essential). The really fun thing is that you can't just uncheck a mod in Mod Organizer to remove it; you have to first remove every reference to that mod from any other mods. There are a bunch of mods in the pack that consolidate data from all the other mods, so if you remove one, these will refuse to load because they reference data that's no longer there, and that'll break all the mods that you didn't uninstall. So I've been spending a lot of quality time in FO4VREdit This is not to mention the mods that I had to mod or the mods that I had to write myself. The biggest pain in the rear end was actually getting the item sorting mod to work on more than 1/4 of the items in the game. I really hoped the modpack author had done this, but nope Anyway, it's taking a lot less effort than the first time I did all this. Then, I started from nothing and worked my way up; starting from everything and the kitchen sink and working my way down is a bit easier

DCS is phenomenal in VR, and that's probably the worst in terms of having million buttons and tiny text. Vive was more of a struggle, but Index is absolutely fine.

Even with the vision vignetting on movement cranked right up I still end up sick. Obviously take a break the second you feel uncomfortable like others have said, but beyond that the two biggest things are 1. dramamine really helps. I know taking even a mild ooc drug to play video games sounds a bit much, but it's only temporary and it works. I quit using it after a few days/doses and never needed it again. 2. Always have a fan blowing on you. I cannot stress enough how soothing it feels to have some air blowing on your body and up into you mask while playing vr. It also helps with fogging and adds immersion for games where you are outdoors. The good news is that for the most part once it's gone its gone. I went from being unable to move an inch with smooth movement to being permanently fine with it in just a few days playing RE7. Once your brain accepts whats going on it should be a non issue. Unrelated Asgards Wrath question. I'm a couple hours in, and I'm at the part where you have to lower the drawbridge. Out of nowhere it throws this level 3 enemy at me. Up until now it's just been a bunch lvl 1 enemies in this game that I've chopped through with ease. But this guy is blocking the bridge and as far as I can tell I can't even damage him. I'll hit him dozens of times and I don't even see any indication I've done damage and he almost instantly kills me and my followers. But the game has no way to grind as far as I can tell, I have no idea what they expect of me here. I must be missing something but it doesn't even seem possible to kill this guy.

Whenever the problem of making a facebook account comes up people act so vitriolic I gotta ask... why not just make a fake account? Say your name is Vegeta and you're from the planet Vegeta, you work as a Saiyajin and use this as your picture Its not like Mark comes to your house to personally verify your information.

quote:Giving people a single way to log into Oculus—using their Facebook account and password— will make it easier to find, connect, and play with friends in VR. We know that social VR has so much more to offer, and this change will make it possible to integrate many of the features people know and love on Facebook Lol. quote:Using a VR profile that is backed by a Facebook account and authentic identity helps us protect our community and makes it possible to offer additional integrity tools. For example, instead of having a separate Oculus Code of Conduct, we will adopt Facebook’s Community Standards as well as a new additional VR-focused policy. "We'll be changing the terms of use down the line, but you'll already be locked in by then so no worries". quote:As we’ve previously shared, when you log into Oculus using your Facebook account, Facebook will use information related to your use of VR and other Facebook products to provide and improve your experience. This information is also used to show you personalized content, including ads. For example, we might show you recommendations for Oculus Events you might like, ads about Facebook apps and technologies, or ads from developers for their VR apps. This sounds very exciting.

Seconding wandering around vrchat as a way to get more acclimated to VR without just throwing yourself face first into Alyx and boneworks like I did. That was a terrible loving idea. Go be an anime vr tourist for a bit. Happyimp posted:I don't see how you're going to get above 90hz anyway with the resolution. The fov looks decent enough. The main reason I want to get it is because the index always looks so grey to me. Those behind the lense videos makes it look like the color is so much better than the index. The greyness actually messes with my depth perception, and makes the world look flat. This is an old rear end post but I see it come up periodically. My incredibly big brained lifehack was just to turn the brightness down slightly  The black levels will still suck on your index but it's less obvious/easier to ignore/get used to if you get that brightness slightly lower. Happy Noodle Boy posted:So I got another $10 credit and used it for thrill of the fight. I finally played it last night. Three 3-round matches have my arms and back more sore than they've been in a very long time.

about the "fake facebook" thing, just for context, i had to use facebook for work (integrating facebook tracking on our software, not fun) and because i didnt have an account and didnt want one i made a fake. gmail email, thispersondoesnotexist photo, real (but not my) name, filled out the profile a bit, etc after just a few days it got disabled and required photo of an id to be reenabled. facebook also tracks you everywhere, and it is very sensible to think they'd use whatever information they could to link your "anonymous" browsing to the fake account. even IP addresses matching would be enough to raise their confidence. it's just gross. facebook is evil
