I think that is something buggy with the Oculus software on the PC end. I have fixed it before by just starting the software beforehand, or just restarting. I think it may be buggy with the service thats installed.

So I finally decided to give mods in H3VR a try. Holy poo poo I should have done this sooner, you can massively expand the replayability of the game. Added a hundred plus new guns, half a dozen take and hold maps, a bunch of new TNH characters, it's great.

That said, I was never able to go back to flatscreen when after I tried VR, it's just so much more fun. What specs for a computer are realistic for MSFS on Quest 2? Do you have physical controls for it or do you use your headset's controllers?

The Quest tells me I am connected to the computer when I boot it up, but when I click "Launch" in airplay, I get the three dots for a few seconds but then are kicked back to the oculus home screen. Nothing in my wi-fi setup has changed (computer hard-wired and in the same room as the quest), so has anything changed with airlink in the past few updates that I should look at/adjust? I've had this happen a couple of times and restarting my PC has fixed it each time. Probably not the perfect solution but turning it off and on again cures all ills. sleepy gary posted:What specs for a computer are realistic for MSFS on Quest 2?

I have a 3070ti, ryzen 5 5600 and 32gb RAM and I get good framerates with some drops in areas with a lot of scenery. I have room to turn specs down though. And yeah I have a HOTAS, I think you can play with just the touch controllers but I'm not sure how fun it would be.

VR taxes a PC even more in FS 2020, I play using a Ryzen 3600 and 3070 and get 40 fps after a lot of optimization on good resolution and details. Personally I use a controller but it's possible to play with the VR ones, though you really need a lot of buttons so I wouldn't recommend it.

I have a question: what is a good co-op/multiplayer exercise game that isn't a rhythm game? I love rhythm games and so does the person I'm playing with, but eventually we both want to play something else besides punching/slashing notes. I'm pretty new to VR so I don't know the options out there and I hope the thread can help me  E: To clarify, when I say exercise I mean a game that has you moving your entire body where you're giving both your legs and arms a workout. Not necessarily a game that's genre'd as an "exercise" game. emptyrave fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Jul 5, 2022 |

Jim Silly-Balls posted:picked up into the radius. I am not necessarily a survival horror person by nature. Any tips for starting out? I finished it maybe a month ago, and had a great time, and I don't like horror. I turned the music and ambient sounds off, and just treated it like a shooter  My advice:
e: oh, I remembered an important one: you need to hold a rifle or (non sawn off) shotgun with two virtual hands. If you use only one, the shot will go wild. It feels pretty silly sticking your hand out and grabbing absolutely nothing, but the game steadies your aim to compensate. I tried holding my aim steady on a target, looking through a 4x scope, both one-handed supporting my right hand with my left (like I usually shoot in VR), and then with my left hand grabbing the virtual gun barrel, and it was actually easier to keep the crosshair on target doing it how the game wants you to, holding the virtual barrel.

Isn't that how you shoot most rifles in VR, or is it open of those days where my brain doesn't work you're saying firing a two handed weapon in VR is easier if you take your non-trigger hand and mime/pretend/steady the rifle with your other hand? I mean okay - rereading you like to game the system because it isn't real and instead of holding a rifle with two hands you use your off-hand to support so you don't have reticle wobble... I mean yeah but most games I've played will make you shoot buckwild with recoil unless you're two handed gripping. hell the .50 cal in Pavlov flies out of your hand if you fire it one-handed. but yeah... I'm not surprised holding the gun correctly is better forest spirit fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Jul 5, 2022 |

An advice if you believe you are in the segment target for a game like The Last Clockwinder: the game needs a good amount of space, despite having the usual artificial locomotion, you are constantly throwing or catching stuff or stretching yourself to push a lever, etc so the game can be a 'boundaryfest'.

forest spirit posted:Isn't that how you shoot most rifles in VR, or is it open of those days where my brain doesn't work Pretty much. I've mostly played games where you can grip with two hands but the game doesn't give you any accuracy plusses for doing so, or ones where there's no two-handing at all. Personally I dislike being made to pretend I'm holding a rifle when I'm not. It doesn't feel good, there's no ergonomics. There's no actual stock to press into my shoulder and there's no actual barrel to steady. My off-arm gets tired pretty quickly. There's trying to imitate reality, and then there's making concessions for the limitations of the medium. E: that said, I would be interested in getting a vr stock, considering how much it sucks to two-hand empty air. But I don't know how well transitioning from gun to not-gun works with those. Eg in Into The Radius, you put your gun away all the time. Maybe the absolute ideal would be something on a sling, that the controllers can easily attach and detach from, which magically also told the game that I've switched to a rifle...

I've had the opposite experience. I find it far more immersive and enjoyable to have to mimic the actions of holding a rifle, and the extra mobility that comes with being able to adjust your aim with either hand. Some games may not execute it that well, but others are outstanding. Contractors comes to mind as a great implementation of it.

 anyone really good at the nuances of Steam VR? So far it's been the biggest friction point of my WMR/Reverb experienceFirst, it's the only VR app I've tried with any kind of frame dropping/tearing issues--MSFS runs great at mid-low settings; all other games run great; Virtual Desktop is great. Steam Home and the game theater launch ok once or twice and then are unusably, nauseatingly laggy until a reboot--and I'm pretty sure the problem is with Steam itself, not the computer, because I can open a game in the theater mode, experience terrible FPS, then open the overlay and play the game at perfect FPS on a projected desktop window  Second, one of my ideal use cases for VR is to be able to play flatscreen games on a big Virtual Desktop monitor while browsing the internet/etc on a floating panel at my side. I got it working exactly as I wanted the other day by somehow getting Big Picture mode active on the monitor Virtual Desktop is projecting, then calling up a second monitor through the Steam VR overlay. Now, though, launching Big Picture mode causes Steam to disappear from my projected monitors and only opens directly in the overlay, and launching games causes me to exit Virtual Desktop and enter the aforementioned unusably laggy (and much smaller/less configurable) game theater mode. Any tips?

Actually, you know what?quote:okay - rereading you like to game the system because it isn't real and instead of holding a rifle with two hands you use your off-hand to support so you don't have reticle wobble... The only reason it works in ITR (and, presumably, Pavlov) is because they explicitly put in a system to compensate. Instead, you could just let people shoot how is comfortable for them. Sure, penalise me for not having my other hand near the gun (certainly for holding something else in my other hand), but not for literally supporting my weapon with my offhand. Either that or mail me a free stock with your game... E: and even with the game compensating, I found hitting with a rifle *much* harder than a pistol. It's a bit intellectual anyway when it comes to a bolt-action, though, since you need to hang on to the gun with your left hand while you operate the bolt with your right.

I'd say there's a big advantage in two-handing weapons, if it's held in a single hand then every tiny rotation of your hand can wildly change the trajectory of your bullets with two hands your aiming is usually based on a line drawn between them so you can hold one hand up to your shoulder and use the other hand to move the end of the gun around giving you much finer control over aiming

One of the free games in the Oculus store (Wild West shooter) does a thing where some weapons need two hands and it's kind of goofy but works. I think the Shotgun in that weird free zombie shooter works similarly, because it's pump-action.

What are the most common and best games to test yourself when trying out VR? Like if I wanted to get into VR and see how compatible it is with my own being. Games that test the puke factor and how many limitations or VR crutches you may need to use in order to play. More common games you'd expect to find at an arcade. There are a few VR rental areas where I can try. NeoSeeker fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Jul 6, 2022 |

Dragon Fist VR is on App Lab as of a few weeks ago, without me having noticed. Having played it on PCVR it really feels like a game made for tetherless play in a big open area, so zuck got my buck. Impressive how good the Quest port is already, performance is excellent and visuals aren't too far off from the PCVR version, which isn't a looker but does use quite a lot of effects. I was surprised to see dynamic character shadows make it over. If you haven't played it, it's sorta Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat round-based combat with Blade & Sorcery movement and a focus on hand-to-hand martial arts physics-based combat. Looking at videos the animation looks pretty jank, but what they lack in aesthetics they more than make up for in providing a challenge to fight, with a mix of mocap (performed by the one person making the game) and procedural animations that allow for true parries and convincing combos. There's also special moves, flying jump kicks and a fair amount of content to get through. A+ outta 5 stars

NeoSeeker posted:What are the most common and best games to test yourself when trying out VR? Like TIP said, most people experience nausea at first. It's a lot like sailors getting their sea-legs, and in fact it's the same mechanism: your eyes and your other senses disagreeing with your inner ear. That is to say, you could very well feel sick the first few times you try VR (depending on what you play), but just by stopping when you feel sick and trying again the next day your body adapts. That's what happened with me - now I have my VR-legs That said, even ~800 hours later, if my character suddenly moves their head in a way I didn't control, it'll still start to me feel sick (eg in a first-person game with VR modded in, when the player character looks around in a cutscene). But that's really rare, and it's in stuff that's not made for VR anyway. Anyway, the point is that whether or not you feel sick the first time is no indication of whether you can or can't use VR, because it's not a binary. Unless you have actual inner-ear/balance problems, though - I've heard from posters on this very forum that they can't do VR and never will be able to.

we should have something in the megathread with everyone who owns the gun stocks giving their 2c. I feel weird holding something with a barrel 28 inches away from my trigger but that's me. I did have the risk of rain 2 VR dev make me a custom mod that changed the two handed rifle for Bandit to his pistol because I didn't like holding the rifle one handed all the time. if it was a lever action and you do the flip reload then 100% I'm there shooting poo poo with one hand that rules.

NeoSeeker posted:What are the most common and best games to test yourself when trying out VR? Like others have said - it's not a binary "i get sick" / "i don't get sick" thing - when I first started any kind of lateral movement that I wasn't in total control of would make my stomach spin. Now after a year or two of intermittent VRing the first settings I always reach for are the safety and comfort ones to turn everything off (smooth moving was easiest to get used to, smooth turning the hardest), cos I just don't get sick anymore. But it took a while of acclimatisation to get to that point. I think one of the worst things you could do to your own tummy is seek out the most stomach-churning stuff day one - it definitely pays off to go at your own pace and move through stuff gradually, stopping any time you feel discomfort. There's nothing that will put you off more from ever playing than having to lie on the sofa for 3 hours cos a game went too far too fast. But if you still want to gently caress your tummy up - get in the in-car view in DIRT Rally 2. Then drive in reverse. Or do one of these: https://clips.twitch.tv/ProtectiveRepletePeafowlYouWHY
