Hell it even has the same dojo saber combat at the end. edit: actually, some parts may imply a bit more of freedom. Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Oct 21, 2020 |

Squadrons tapped into the Star Wars I like, Galaxy's edge looks like it's aiming to do the opposite. I'm still curious about it though, if it ends up being an actual game vs the gimmicky tech demo it appears to be I might check it out.

Communist Thoughts posted:yeah you really arent gonna use that tiny included cable for link lol Stupid question but did you reset your PC before you tried microphone via Link? I keep my pc on for days and it wasn't working at all until I reset, now it's working perfectly. Also when you first launch up Link, go to settings > Developer and disable guardian. You might smack something or walk in a direction you didn't want to but oh my GOD does it affect performance. Alyx is literally unplayable with it on on my 1060 and I've seen people have the same issue with 2070. I'm playing on the Q1 tho so I can't comment about the audio, the Q1 is perfectly okay and I'm using some old iPhone headphones that came with my SE if I need them. Mostly I don't. VD works with a router given to me by my ISP, but that thing does have 5GHz support as a separate network and I'm using it for the Quest and my Switch, entirely passable for non-driving games.

OctaviusBeaver posted:IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad is on sale on steam for $7, is that pretty good in VR even if you don't have a HOTAS? Yes and no, respectively. Good VR support, but it's very much designed for joysticks and it's a pain to fly without one. You don't need a HOTAS, but a joystick at minimum is highly recommended.

Sometimes my quest 2 has a pink dot persistently in the same place (off center, about where you might throw a high five). I've only noticed it in Echo VR but it may be in other games too. It doesn't seem like a dead pixel as I can see it with either eye closed in the same place; it feels like it's in 3d. It doesn't show up on the other screen when casting. Any ideas?

Communist Thoughts posted:doesn't seem to pick up my mic most of the time which means phasmaphobia is a no go, i got it working for one round then it stopped and performance was real janky the whole time, stuttering audio and visuals every time i move Something worth noting is that Phasmophobia's voice chat can be broken incredibly easily and I would be surprised if it was actually the link/quest. If you alt tab at any time, it will break the voice chat, if you have Discord open, it will break the voice chat,probably other programs I'm not aware of as well. You need to go into a game, preferably with no other apps open and do a voice test to make sure it's picking up your mic. From there you should be able to join a lobby and chat.

It doesn't show up on the other screen when casting. It indicates your screen is either casting or you're recording a video to save locally. There's an option somewhere to turn it off (you might need dev mode enabled idk), but it's just there to let you know that someone else might be seeing what you're seeing (there's also I think there's always a running recording of the last short-ish amount of time that you can optionally add if you report someone else directly to Oculus, but I don't think there's any way for people to directly see or access it without doing that report).

How are the latter episodes of Vader Unleashed? I remember hearing that Episode One was "the story mode sucks but you get the Jedi Training mode and that rules". Did episodes 2 and 3 get better/more like what you'd hope for, or should I just get Episode One for $10 and play the training mode?

The size of the Quest 2 controllers leave something to be desired, playing Lone Echo any interactions on the hand or close to the visor often results in awkwardness due to the chunky controllers. Wonder if I can use Quest 1 controllers somehow

The Quest 2 controllers also give me problems with H3VR, because the ring is on top they bump into each other when I try to rack the slide or using a bolt action. Didn't have that problem on the rift.

Is there a way to watch VR videos that reside on my computer on my quest? I can't seem to get it to do anything but play a 2d version through the DLNA type apps. These uh...files.. are too big to move them all to the headset storage. Does a link cable do that? Mine isn't in yet.

No, the 'stuff' is only done once, the game/app is only mirroring one of the views (left eye or right eye) to the monitor. Only in specific games there in an option to make the game view on the monitor show something else, in that case there will be a performance cost.

Wonder if I can use Quest 1 controllers somehow Almost certainly not because the IR spots have a different configuration. Also some dude on reddit claims he managed to brick his Rift S controllers by trying to pair them to his Q2 so maybe don't try to do anything like that.

Wanted to talk a bit about Vertigo Remastered because it recently had some DLC and the only other mentions of it in this thread are Happyimp's recommendation and someone else asking about the game with no real response. As of this post, the DLC is on sale for another ~8.5 hours but it is cheaper to get the game + soundtrack + DLC than it is to get the game + DLC. The base game is on sale until October 30. Also included in Viveport Infinity and if you happened to have bought the original Veritgo, I think it's free for all owners on Steam. If Alyx and Boneworks were up your alley (or you liked the idea of Boneworks, but hated the physics jank as your head bounced around between filing cabinets), don't sleep on this. This is 100% store brand UPC-stretches-across-the-box Half-Life and I love it. Three people made it, one of which was 17 when he got hired by Valve to work on TOP SECRET VR projects, including updating The Lab for knuckles and creating a knuckles interaction demo. It's a shame this isn't on all the best VR games blogspam lists because it has been a blast so far. Bangin soundtrack, too. Imagine you're back in high school and you overhear a few nerds talking about how they're gonna make Half-Life but in virtual reality (an emerging tech shortly before graduation), so you chuckle gently to your goony self. Except, a few years later, despite the "goon game project" odds of completion stacked against the intrepid young nerdlings, they absolutely loving did it. You're bummin smokes off of people outside gas stations three years later and those god damned maniacs did it. The DLC that was released last week is absolutely worth getting if you have any creative spark. It adds a few cool weapons and more game modes if you don't. The real reason to get it is its new fully-featured level editor and workshop support. "who cares? I'm not gonna mak--" shut up you insufferable prick because the editor is also in VR! If you like HL:Alyx, there's absolutely no reason to not check the game out and refund within a couple of hours if you find it isn't your jam. It will be your jam, though, and you will hop in the same "how the hell did this go unnoticed?" boat in which I currently find myself.

I got my elite strap. It's clearly more comfy. And it fits so well design and color wise... it makes me think this was going to be the real strap, it was all designed a single headset, and in the months previous to the release they decided to split the headset in two and put the cheaper cloth strap. I still have to think how to strap my battery, cheapo style. I guess I will need longer velcro straps.

At the point where you're wearing a backpack with your VR setup, I wonder how much of the visor weight you could put in there. Like wearing the monitor on your face but the CPU/RAM/GPU are all in the backpack part.

I think this is largely right, but they didn't want to have higher cost and then people replace it with a battery headset. I think they probably anticipated more strap options but COVID probably cut that down. Basically "Buy the headset for cheaper and choose which strap, we'll include a cloth one which sucks but at least makes it usable". And for battery, I don't know why people strap it to the headset. I just run a USB from my headset to my pocket. I have a hair tie (or velcro) to keep the cable coming off the back and just bunch up the extra cable with the battery in my pocket. Works great.

It fixed a flaw with the original Quest where it was very front-heavy. Tying a battery to the back provided a counterweight. Does the Quest 2 have the same problem with its default strap, out of general curiosity?

Yes, the whole point of trying a battery is to use it as counter weigth, that's why it goes on the back, and not in my pocked. Most of the time I don't even connect the usb cable  .Yes, Quest 2 is still front heavy. With the elite strap is much better, although I suspect the counter weight will be still a good idea for those 90 minute sessions.
