Flight sim runs like rear end on really beefy machines even before you add VR. Are all the in game settings turned to minimum? How good is your video card and cpu? If its not a 3070 or 3080 you may wanna temper your expectations

Core i7, RTX 3070, 32GB DDR6, NVMe SSD. It looks gorgeous and runs well in non VR, and I looked on youtube and saw others with equal or lower specs and their VR looked better. Mine is horribly choppy. It doesn't have to look and run great, just decent. But its a complicated setup. I learned that if you go into task manager and give an oculus task high priority, it bumps up the performance, but for me, not enough to be average.

My wallet is light and Im torn between buying Ironlights and Saints and Sinners. One of my favorite games atm is an arcadey pvp shooter so I figured ironlights looks like it would scratch that itch as a cool fast paced arcadey combat game. But saints and sinners looks like it has really satisfying combat and interactions. Whaaaaat should I get??

Here's a question - why won't my Quest 2 charge properly? I had the elite battery strap for a while, but it just broke the other day so I took it off. When the battery strap was on, everything worked great - the battery charged the headset, the headset ran for ages. Now that the battery is no longer attached (went back to the stock head strap) I have noticed that the Quest 2 sometimes won't charge even when plugged in - I have to power the headset off completely for it to charge. Likewise, hooking it up to a battery while it's running doesn't seem to do anything - no charging going on. Did the battery strap... change something?

I think I've had issues with the quest being idle and supposedly asleep but still drawing a lot of power.

Is there an easy way to join a friend at a table in PokerstarsVR? We couldn’t figure it out. Found the friend list but nobody was clickable, and it seems we were in different lobbies. Eventually one of us made a game and the other looked it up but that’s sorta lame.

sethsez posted:Hell, the question of "why Tetris Effect in VR?" is practically the same question (with practically the same answer) as "why Tetris Effect at all?" since most of what's notable about the game is purely aesthetic rather than mechanical. Tetris Effect Connected has some of the best multiplayer Tetris this side of Tetris DS and Tetris 99.

I did a completely clean reinstall of Windows on my system and now for whatever reason Air Link works perfectly. It’s extremely strange but almost certainly due to the clearing off of about 7 years of bloat. It feels great though, definitely looks better than regular Link.

I convinced another friend of mine to pick up Walkabout Minigolf and the three of us played last night, game's still so good. They added the ability to fly around the map now which is hilarious because you just slowly levitate upwards and we were cracking each other up with it last night. There's a new smooth locomotion option as well but honestly I found it harder to use than the default teleporting mechanic so I turned it back off.

Walkabout Mini Golf really is good. It does one thing really well, which is playing mini golf. I'm impressed at the number of courses too, you really get your money's worth.

There was some recommended fiddling to do with the Nvidia Control Panel profile for MS Flight sim to reduce the stuttering which helped for me. Not in a position to check now but I'll have a look later and see what I got set if someone else can't find what I am talking about sooner. edit: Try Verticle Sync set to "FAST". It improves the "my PC is five years old" feeling of the game in VR. It doesn't fix the peripheral objects seem stuttery issue which I believe is just something to do with the 3d Implementation.

That VR Puzzle Bobble game is supposed to be out today according to its page on the oculus store (and the actual webpage says "Available Now"), but the same page also still says "Coming Soon." Is there a particular time things drop on their store?

I would offer the dissenting opinion that the hole in that space course that's a single shot bounce off a board into the hole can go gently caress itself.

I saw a short 2 second gif of the new course posted by one of the developers and I think it might be a western themed golf course. Not entirely sure though. They said they were about to start the beta of the course so maybe a month or so out

Touring Karts is now free for quest. Both solo mode and online multiplayer are included https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/3714602415301811/ They do still offer a paid version that has extra cars Apparently the devs are trying to attract more people for multiplayer. Since it’s cross platform, an influx of quest users will make for better MP for everyone is the theory https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQues...ossmf&context=3

It took me a month of constantly chasing up oculus support before they eventually told me they can't replace it because I'm in Australia and they don't sell the elite strap with battery here any more. Thankfully I'd bought it from Amazon and they sent me a replacement within an hour of me sending an email even though it was well outside their replacement window by then.

Finally got 120hz AirLink working after manually updating the Q2 to v29 and the desktop app to v29 PTC (regular v29 desktop doesn’t have a 120hz option). Still don’t really notice a difference in games where frame rate wasn’t an issue to begin with - but 60hz ASW feels like black magic to me on the heavier games. 90hz kicking down to 45 was extremely obvious but 120 to 60 is barely noticeable in comparison.

I got a 15 foot usb C cable marketed as an Oculus Link cable, but it was more like 25-30 bucks instead of $70, but since I got it, Air Link came out and I’ve been too lazy to use the cable. But I’ve been using my laptop in my room away from the router where I can plug an Ethernet cable directly into my laptop, and I feel like the connection is iffy and games get blurry and lag sometimes, but when I try to use the cable, it works and asks if I want to allow my computer to access the files on my Quest 2, etc. and when I first got it and chose ‘test USB connection’ in the settings, it said it worked fine and it was USB 3.0, etc. but now, despite my computer recognizing it, and it showing up as a storage device and charging, it’ll constantly connect for 15 seconds before disconnecting then immediately asking if I want to connect again. I don’t know if it’s actually the cable, because even though it’s recognized by my computer when the Link fails, it is a weird like L shaped USB C cable on the end I have to plug into the headset, and I feel like it’s awkward and not quite flush/weighs on the headset a bit, and the other end is USB A which I obviously can’t plug into my headset. Again, it did work at one point, when I first got it, but I only used it a couple times before I started using air link. Has anyone else had this problem, or is it just the cable? Is it really worth getting the official link cable, even tho as far as I understand, it’s just a long USB C cable?

The L-shaped thing is fine, I think the official cable is like that too. It's so it doesn't stick sideways out of the headset, which would be worse for weighing it down I think. Did you disable Airlink on your Quest? I think you have to do that before going back to a cable.
