Oh that's cool, sounds like Sleep No More!

Bigsteve posted:Hmmm, trying to use the oculus tray too to check on performance and it seems to act odd. When I launch a game it will only report 60fps. Very occasionally it will show the 120fps then alternate between 60 and 120. Is this normal? Unless you've disabled it, that sounds like ASW kicking in. As soon as your fps drops below 120, it will cap it at 60 and engage ASW.

King Vidiot posted:I finally got back into Blade and Sorcery after that last big update, and it's looking a lot more stable and a lot closer to a real game. But every time I swing at an enemy my weapon just falls out of my hand when I hit them. I'm on an Index so I thought maybe I just wasn't gripping hard enough, but it only happens when I strike an enemy. Try going to the options menu and setting "max arm length reached" to "block"  This will give you SUPER KUNG FU GRIP and you won't ever drop your weapon or anything you pick up no matter what afterwards.

I know how to stream it so my friends can watch me, but it kinda sucks that I can't chat back until I wrap up and head back to the computer. Standalone, not to my knowledge. As a tethered/Air-Linked PC headset? Just set the microphone as the input device.

Maybe it's normal, maybe it isn't. I will say people underestimate the hardware needed right now for VR. Don't believe you can move every game at 120 fps, high supersampling and max settings with a 3070. The performance hud in Oculus can be useful, as it shows the remaining % of free gpu resources you have available. Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Oct 25, 2021 |

The Pimax event should have started already, but it seems it had a (literal) last minute delay, it will be in 3 or 4 hours now. In any case , there are leaks that their new device will be a 'Pimax QLED 12K', for Q2 2022.

If the game is hovering around 120 it may be able to keep steady 92.

Tried it on Alyx and Lone echo 2 today. Alyx will sit at 120 then down to 60 for a bit then back up. Everything set at default. Have tried Lone echo on different visual settings and that just sits at 60. Guess you guys are right and it's just ASW kicking in. Will just try dissablin that to see if there is an effect. Does turning off 120fps mode make a difference? As in ASW doesn't come on if it can handle 90 fps?

It will handle 90 fps, I think. Like another one said, surely it's falling to 115 fps, and then it has to go back to the 60 fps. But make sure everything is at default, in both Oculus app (you can change the resolution for Link, wired or wireless) and SteamVR (which has some fame for putting whatever resolution supersampling it wants, careful it isn't auto).

Gorn with an actual full game behind the cool fighting mechanics would've been stellar. Any decent dungeon crawlers or roguelike experiences out there? VR Dungeon Knight was shaping up to be fun but it hasn't updated in almost 2 years now and looks big time abandoned.

I'd say if you own VD just use that, I find the UI much more usable and I also paid for it so I might as well keep using it.. I've heard VD works better on stable networks and AirLink better on slower/less stable networks but I have no idea if that's true or not.

Right next to my main router it’s pretty even, but farther away or next to the repeater AirLink is usually the safer choice

Ever since they added that link sharpening thing to Airlink, I've found the visuals better on Airlink than VD in some games. They're basically comparable though. If you own both, boot up the same game back to back in each and see if any differences stick out to you.

VD is (much) better for anything 2D or SBS 3D. For VR, you’ll probably take a slight hit to performance - particularly with Oculus native stuff. You also trade ASW running on the PC for SSW running directly on the Quest 2 which is kind of a mixed bag since you gain a bit of performance but it looks noticeably worse (imo). There’s also some edge case stuff like alternate eye rendering Vr mods and old abandon ware like DolphinVR where you’ll need to be running AirLink if you don’t want to vomit everywhere.

ASW kicks in as soon as you drop below your target framerate. So if you set refresh rate to 90, ASW won't kick in as long as you stay above 90. As soon as you drop below ASW will kick in and halve your target frame rate (45fps when your refresh is set to 90).

TBH if the trackpad's decent, and they'll play nice with a regular SteamVR headset without the Pimax software, I might actually consider grabbing a set to retire my old Wands for good.

They made this announcement a while ago complaining how SteamVR doesn't have support for third-party finger tracking and buttons, which is weird since SteamVR drivers are supposed to let you slap on whatever you want onto controllers. Maybe they're limited to using Valves built-in lighthouse driver or something. https://www.reddit.com/r/Pimax/comments/pzc70d/sword_sense_controller_update/

After this and the new Varjo I get the feeling that if the rumors about Valve's next headset features are even only like 3/4ths true it is going to be in the $1500-$2000 range as well. This tech is amazing, but drat is it getting real expensive to get on the cutting edge.

I got onto my Quest 2 after the last major software update ( 33? ) and I found Airlink superior to tethered performance ( based on my time with Alyx ) so I'm super happy with that. I did upgrade my wireless card in my PC to Wifi 6 as well as getting a cheap Wifi 6 router in anticipation and didn't need to bother with VD so I don't have comparative context, so I'm in the Airlink is super cool and you don't have to get VD if you don't already have it camp.

I just started playing Into the Radius. Very, very impressed so far! I really really like how hands-on it is. Holster for the pistol, over-the-shoulder for a bigger weapon, pistol magazine slots in front, pouch on the left for bits and pieces. Whole freakin backpack for storing boxes of ammo with which to refill your magazines. And the cherry on top is it doesn't suffer from that "walk backwards while hand is by my side" issue! (which I'm starting to think is caused by people not actually developing for the Index controller correctly. I think Zero Caliber predates it, and I see in the H3VR videos they put out they're using Vive wands. Anyway...)

Looking at the latest change logs, it makes me think it's still really in Early Access phase, he put it out of EA and advanced to 1.0 because... reasons. One of the latest entries mentions a new location, he refers to it the 'end game level'. I mean, it's good he is creating new free content in updates, of course! But it makes me think the game still should have the 'early access' label and he removed it to increase sales.
