Yeah I’m not as quick as someone like him (and I still don’t understand what the hell the rotating both hands thing top players do is supposed to accomplish or how it works) but I’m pretty quick on DT reloads and that and sako reloads just won’t work smoothly for me. To be fair, I do miss sako reloads pretty often even on VD.

explosivo posted:I haven't tried it but there is an option to change which hand you hold guns with and movement is done with the left stick already, so unless it reverses that when you choose left handed mode (which, it might I suppose) I think this would be possible with the tools in game? Edit: Yeah it's the same problem and I can't figure it out. Everything works fine and controls can be re-configured as normal with default settings but the instant you switch the gun to your left hand the controls become absolutely insane and cannot be configured.

Stormland was one of the AAA VR games with more promise, much more than Asgard's Wrath, so it was a pain when they were bought by Sony. How is Onward? I always forget the comparisons between these games, Onward, Zero Caliber, Contractors, Pavlov. edit: Ok, Onward is more the Insurgency or Squad of the bunch, Pavlov is CS and Contractors is CoDish? it seems it combines low ttk of Onward with the more run and gun feel of Pavlov.

Is anyone else having trouble running SteamVR games over Air Link? I'm following the general advice of adding them to my oculus library and launching them from there but they generally fail to launch properly. I launch the game, my oculus home disappears, I go into a void for a minute, then oculus home launches again running like poo poo. When I pull up my desktop I can see that the game has loaded and there's a window but it's not displaying to my headset. I've also tried launching them from Steam on my desktop but that doesn't help.

I don't really mind the trend right now of VR studios getting bought up. The money from sales is still tiny compared to console/Monitor-PC so the goal of getting swallowed up for a bucket of money will probably lure some talent into the space. Yeah it sucks that these companies will be releasing samey stuff but I feel like getting new players into the space as a whole is a bigger plus. Plus I always like to see these early developers make bank.

On the whole I agree that it doesn't matter too much except to the degree the individual devs benefit. I would be more concerned about it if I was worried that like, Facebook was leveraging their buyouts to have a really strong slate of experienced VR people who really understand the medium that they'd be able to use to push software forward and dominate, but... they're not. They bought Beat Saber and they're making more Beat Saber, they didn't figure out how to make Horizon good or interesting I think that regardless of how many studios FB buys they aren't going to be really poised to dominate VR software wise unless they have a change in leadership or mindset or something, so I'd start worrying if it looked like that was happening

Tip posted:If anyone here has been waiting for a great deal on a Quest 2 strap upgrade here's a killer one: So I finally got this delivered today and... I can't get it installed to the drat thing. It took a firm nudge to disconnect the original strap but trying to attach this and I genuinely feel I'm going to end up breaking the strap or the quest because the thing will not give. not to mention there's not a whole lot to hold on to on the strap/side itself so you're putting a ton of pressure on the quest and yeah I feel I'm going to break this thing.

It took a firm squeeze to pop the pieces on and it made me a little nervous but it worked. I feel like if it was really easy to pop on it would also be prone to popping off during intense play, so that didn't really bother me. However, once I did get it installed I discovered it was way too big. The part on the back meant to cup your skull only makes contact along the middle for me, despite having a giant head. I feel like I got sent the XXXL size.

Because it looks like there is a healthy chance Facebook would have tried o.o This is the biggest problem with platform holders buying up studios is it just seems to be ramping up in this huge arms race where "well we better buy X before someone else does". Like if Sony didn't buy Insomniac, maybe facebook would have, and if facebook didn't buy ready at dawn, sony might have considering how much they worked with sony before VR, maybe if microsoft didn't buy bethesda sony would have, etc. In the meantime everything is getting divided up into fiefdoms. Welp, no more insomniac VR games, at least on PC, welp, no more bethesda games on playstation, welp, no sequel to lucky's tale in VR because microsoft bought them. Theres no good guy in this because honestly at this point if you're a platform holder of any kind who's not in the process of scoping out studios to hoover up, someone else is just going to beat you to it. This is the kind of poo poo that needs legislative action of the anti-trust variety to solve but, lmao that ain't happening.

The weapon handling and is super solid, and pretty granular in a way I like a lot. I've sunk hours and hours into just firing range stuff. As far as the actual game goes: I dunno. The idea is cool to me, but I'm pretty crummy at it, and the fun-level seems to be very teammate-dependent. Basically, it's not done. If you like crunchy gun stuff, it's definitely superior to Pavlov Shack and Pop 1. I probably wouldn't buy it if it weren't on sale, though.

I got it real snug and did a some Beat Saber (via AirLink) and it felt way more comfortable than the default straps. Definitely going to be helpful on longer sessions.

Hoping I like it better than the elite and the post saying its for XXXL heads makes me hopeful. I'd REALLY like to use my quest more but I can't wear it more than 20 min honestly. Sad days being a big headed boi.

A large part of that is that modern game engines don't come with level design tools anymore. The editors in Unity and UE4 are just for compositing existing assets and everything serious is done in external tools. One reason I started making stuff for SteamVR Home is that the Source 2 Hammer editor is so much ahead anything else on the market it's ridiculous. Too bad it's made by Valve.

No engines except Source use brushes for geometry anymore. If you're working in Unity, Bakery is worth looking into and investing in. Unity's default light baking is pretty abysmal.

Brushes are less effecient performance wise than static meshes once you hit certain polygon limits. Ue4 still let's you use them to block out levels, it just expects you to either replace them or use the convert to static mesh tool later.
