Jim Silly-Balls posted:Star wars: game good? "Star Wars: game wait for a pair of updates". Some people may be playing fine, but others are affected by bugs. And there are several: from hardcoded dead zones in joysticks, to campaign levels where progress is blocked because an AI mate won't move, to Star Destroyers not firing when they should, to a framerate related bug that makes the game feel slower and less smooth than the fps indicator shows, etc.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations regarding the Reverb G2.  Guess I will keep an eye on this thread so I'm all up to speed when it comes time to buy VR and then puke all over the place. Looking forward to it!

My only issue so far with Star Wars is that I am getting a severe refresh rate bug while playing on my Quest. Every mission or so there is a bug that makes it so that when I look around the game sort of chugs and lags. When looking straight ahead and doing typical flying stuff it's buttery smooth. It's fixed when I leave to the main menu and return but it is definitely a bit of a bummer when it occurs. When it works it is probably one of the best VR experiences I have had and just feels insanely cool.

Shine posted:I will say that I personally HATE the Index controllers and would swap them for the Oculus Touch in a heartbeat for 90% of games, but I'm in the minority on that. Nah, touch controllers are really, really good. It's a significant reason why I am giving the Q2 first crack at winning me over, especially as it sounds like the controls are going to be more like the CV1s, which I still maintain are the best iteration of VR controls.

As someone who never tried a CV1, what do people like about the controllers over the Rift S/Quest controller? The current controller feels great to me and I can't see what would make it better from pictures.

The center of gravity for the CV1 controllers are smack dab in the middle of your palms, so no matter how you move your hands, they're not trying to jostle or rotate out of your grip. S/Quest controllers are top heavy, so they try to roll a bit. That top ring is also relatively fragile and doesn't protect your hand, with CV1 you can full on bash poo poo and it'll both be fine and protect your hand. There are a few more small things but those are the big ones for me

CV1 controller is better than Rift S, I have both and the CV1 feels more solid, better built and nicer in the hand imo of course.

I understand it was a concession to make tracking inside-out but I liked having the ring down rather than up over hand level: the biggest time this becomes an annoyance is racking pistol slides in VR shooters.

Has anybody ever seen "Make sure your headset's display is in fullscreen mode" ? With a link to "enable fullscreen mode" that does nothing? Squadrons runs like absolute rear end on my PC (2080ti) and I'm having the most frustrating time trying to fix it.

Sometimes its real smooth even on high settings, other times its badly stuttering even if I put everything at low. And what's especially odd is my windows desktop is updating at like 10fps while Squadrons is open. I've never seen a game do that before. But the frame timing in SteamVR says its doing fine, so why is Windows struggling so much?? This game is doing something wrong.

You gotta quit back to the main menu and start from the last checkpoint to fix it. The problem seems to be related to the camera viewport. Like, the game will be running at full frame rate, but the camera itself only updates like 2-3 times per second. So when you rotate your head, your picture will get heavily timewarped before the camera update happens and it snaps to your head position. It is suuuuuuper janky and it needs to have been fixed yesterday.

Okay, on Quest Link the trick to avoid all the issues I was having is to set it to 59.97 or whatever FPS and windowed mode. No, I don't know why that should make a difference but it seems to.

Is there actually VR video out there that isn't horrendous? Everything I have seen has been either absolute trash, or some 360 video that was interesting in theory but looks lovely as hell. And the scale is always mind bendingly weird. It always feels like it's from a fly's perspective where I am 1 inch tall but flying 6 feet in the air. It makes my brain want to explode. I was loving around with a couple of VR video apps on the Oculus store a few weeks ago to see if VR video was still as bad as I remember it being when I got a PSVR 3 years ago and this was the top video on the first one I downloaded. Imagine watching this in an HMD with the perspective cranked to 1000% wrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcX27lD7hkE

180/360 stereo sucks and always will. Volumetric/Lightfield photography works and there's some excellent demos, but capturing it still takes a lot of time. Try out Google's Welcome to Lightfields demo and their more recent video samples here.

Man, Squadrons is a blast in vr, I am amazed how well it works over the Link. If link loving works at all, I now know that my Alyx issues are tied to my pc being kinda bad but now sometimes my Link just disconnects for no good reason. Probably my lovely cable, because I'm still using the one I should have stripped for copper because now I am afraid to buy another one, as the official one is a) way too expensive for me atm and b) not compatible because I don't have a USB-C connector in my computer. I theoretically have space on the motherboard for some extention, but I have no idea if that would support USB 3 and I can't find a precise answer. Seriously considering a new motherboard and CPU just so I can have this poo poo sorted out.

You can get USB3 Type C to Type A adapters. Or you could just use any old USB 2.0 cable as long as the quality is alright and it has a Type C connector on one end.

Try out Google's Welcome to Lightfields demo and their more recent video samples here. are there any turnkey pro rigs for 360stereo video? I tinkered with mono360 stills about 5 years back when it was still 'shoot with DSLR on nodal pivot head, stitch into 3rd party software overnight' and 360video was still unreachably high-end; thought to look up what the Google suggested for 360 panos these days https://www.google.com/streetview/contacts-tools/products/ they all look a lot easier than what I was having to put up with  but yeah, monoscopic still.

Last I checked most of the biggest producers (ie porn) use custom rigs. It's mostly 180 stereo too since it allows for greater quality. The problem I see with producing 180/360 content is that once volumetric video is more accessible, I feel all the old stuff will have about as much demand as silent movies had after the introduction of talkies. It's a pretty massive leap forward in immersion, quality, comfort etc

Yeah, with all this weirdness, i found it WAY smoother and a better experience to just set it to ASW 45fps locked, so its always reprojecting, because at least its doing a good job, compared to it running and 90 and looking choppy due to this. Really wild issues to be having.
