Doctor_Fruitbat posted:No, but I've had buffering issues on AirLink where everything freezes for however many seconds, then it fast forwards through everything to catch up again, so it's apparently able to cache a significant number of frames while it's trying to sort itself out. Maybe your issue is related?  Wired doesn't seem to have the problem, but i can see the 'stretching' of the previous frame when i turn quickly there and not on the wireless fireless.sup new page, go get a free gasket if you aint Wallrod fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Jul 28, 2021 |

Going into the Steam menu shows you the virtual controllers, doesn't it? I suppose that wouldn't be helpful if you don't know where the menu button is without looking, but it might be helpful to memorize it in that case.

Is this the Quest2 halo strap people were digging itt? https://www.amazon.com/iovroigo-Adjustable-Supporting-comfort-Virtual-Accessories-Android/dp/B08LGSFQYR Buddy of mine just ordered a Q2, and I got to him just in time before he ordered the elite strap to go with it.

I bought this from Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001619417239.html I should also note I have a huge melon (hat size US 8 / 64 CM), and it doesn't fit me super well compared to the the Elite strap. Elite strap has broken on me twice, so it's not really impressing me either. The halo style strap does feel great, but doesn't secure as well to my head. I do have long hair right now, and it feels like it wants to slide off the top. I wouldn't dare play a very physical game with a lot of movement like Pistol Whip or Thrill of the Fight. I do REALLY like the fine-tuning adjustability of positioning the HMD in that strap, as the fixed IPD options leave a bit of room for focus improvement via positioning for most people. Did ship fast, got it to the US west coast in 12 days which is pretty fast for AliExpress. I did order these silicone sleeves at the same time for the Q2 controllers and they're really great. Extremely comfortable, great positioning of the knuckle strap, and fast & easy to install/uninstall when switching batteries. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002383757870.html Glad to be finally getting official silicone face covers. I had been using a third party one since launch, as the covers made for Quest 1 fits the Quest 2 Fit Pack Wide face insert pretty well but not perfectly.

My wife got me that one too and it's also a squeeze on the massive boulder between my shoulders but I still love how well it fits the headset to my face while still allowing me to flip it up with ease. Does the BoboVR M2 fit grotesquely swollen domes pretty well and does it let you flip up the headset?

I also just bought a gunstock like a massive fuckin' nerd so I'm probably never going to get laid again unless I hide it somewhere. I got the Kobra - it's apparently almost as high performing as the top tier ones, but is the most immersive (for instance the front handset clips in so you don't have to hold the grip button) and I'm so poo poo that I won't notice the difference. I really wanted a bottom loading one and it's the best one of those I think.

I have a big fat head and it's far more comfortable than either the PSVR or Lenovo Explorer halo designs I've tried in the past. You can kinda flip it up but only by about 30 degrees or so. Enough to take a sip of something, but still obstructs your view a bit so I use passthrough most of the time.

I already got the free pleather vrcover but it was way too thick and really decimated the FOV so I'm happy to be getting the silicone thing.

Wallrod posted:Is everyone getting absolutely crazy, self-feeding visual artifacts with AirLink on Q2 sometimes? You can clear it by just moving your head 90 degrees quickly, but you can also reproduce it really easily: Look at any somewhat noisy and still image (trees in skyrim for example, or just a 2d picture of real life) and turn your head a few degrees back and forth, the noise turns into black and white lines, which then turn into complete RGB noise. It's like the codec never gets a 'keyframe', it just feeds itself with whatever the last image was and you get those nightmare melting person gifs, but in glorious, different-for-each-eye 3d This happened to me all the time on v28-29 but I haven’t noticed it recently. I could make it go away for a bit by switching between Fixed and Dynamic Bitrate inside AirLink or restarting the PC. Not sure if it got fixed by an Oculus/Nvidia update but make sure both of those are up to date. Also I kinda suspect NiceHash could have been my culprit because it happened all the time whenever I didn’t restart the PC after closing out NH. Haven’t bothered at all with buttcoin for a month or two which coincides with my encoder problem disappearing. Obviously if you don’t run NiceHash ignore this last part but it really seemed suspiciously linked to the problem so I thought I’d mention it.

I've tried a bunch of straps for my Quest 2, and the only one that's felt as comfortable as the original Quest strap was the DAS. I was able to pick it up for like $60 off of Amazon, plus $17 for a nice injection-molded FrankenQuest adapter.

I recently got the BoboVR since I was having trouble with the stock strap and light bleed around my nose. Honestly, the new strap doesn't seem like it's made much of a difference, although there's still more messing around with adjusting it that I could do. I can angle the headset down far enough to eliminate the bleed, but then the image is blurry because my eyes aren't aligned with the lens anymore. When I read about this online it seems... intentional maybe? But I find it highly distracting. I almost want to get an IR illuminator but it would be difficult to get my play area dark during the days anyway. Does anyone have any positive experience with a fix or mod for this?

I'm on v30 and any time I try to launch AirLink it'll connect for a second and then the headset loses wifi connectivity and AirLink crashes. Once it's back to the main menu it gets the wifi connection back so I'm hoping v31 will fix that! I haven't had the best experience with AirLink yet but I haven't had too much time to play around with it that much either.

I was having this issue only if I tried going to my library via the library icon. If I used airlink as a virtual desktop, and clicked on my games through that, it all worked fine.

You're better off powering it all the way down, in my experience. It's kind of counter intuitive because you think you'd want to leave it on rest mode all the time so it'll find/download the update, but a lot of times I don't get an update until after a full restart.

One of my relatives tried my Rift S and they were thinking about trying the Quest 2. Is it fully wireless, because their current computer probably runs Minecraft and not much else. Thinking of just hopping on Ebay to find a $175 used unit. That's realistic right?

The Quest line is completely self-contained, no computer needed or necessary. For price I don't know, but I'd just buy a new one for warranty.

Yes, it’s a fully contained system like a standalone console. You’re probably not going to find much of a discount for a used one with how much of a hot item it still seems to be, but also bear in mind the base model is meant to go up to 128gb storage pretty soon and there might end up being some clearance deals on the 64gb version.

I'd say with a 6 deep supply not counting the ones in the controllers, why not pop them out when you get the first notification about batt% I wouldn't though, with 8 and how little juice the controllers need I would run them dry. It would be a long time before you noticed any battery degradation swapping that many infrequently

Fully wireless, and it has its own storefront so you can't accidentally buy a game it can't run from the hardware on the headset itself. It'll still be pricy if they want to eventually play games through a computer either with Link or AirLink, but it's a good entry to VR stuff without dropping a grand or two for an Index and a gaming computer I spent the first couple months owning it without spending any more money, but I wanted to do even more stuff and, besides the last patch breaking AirLink, it works as well as I would expect any hardwired headset. Vacation Simulator, Job Simulator, and Beat Saber are all good beginner VR games to play, all from the Quest store

The 64Gb’s are pretty much sold out in my area and most online retailers are sold out also. The returbs on Amazon were going for $60 over MSRP two days ago and are sold out now.
