Sinners and Saints, Superhot, Blade and Sourcery, Beat Saber. I am just out of luck. I figured I would sell it and pickup a Steam Deck so I don't feel too much like a loser.

I think Superhot is one of the least-motion-sickness-inducing games though, because of how it maps perfectly to your movement.

I would've thought that Superhot and Beat Saber would've been better, but Saints and Sinners and even more so Blade and Sorcery are really quite bad for motion sickness. But either way, it's not like you're more cool for not getting motion sick or whatever, it sounds like it's just not for you which is totally fine Private Speech posted:I think Superhot is one of the least-motion-sickness-inducing games though, because of how it maps perfectly to your movement. If I had to suspect something, it'd be a lower framerate combined with all the bright white environments. You can notice more flicker on the screen when that happens, even at a relatively higher framerate, which some people are more sensitive to and can make you feel sick

Idk what the refresh rate is on VRChat on Quest 2 but holy crap I tried it out on a lark because I wanted to see how this girl I was talking with saw the world/also check that my quest avatar looked correct, and I hopped into VRChat and moved around a bit and couldn't handle more than about 10 mins of it before getting ill. PCVR I can hang out for 10+ hours but specifically vrchat on the quest makes me ill. I've played other quest VR games and been fine but I guess it's just VRChat's wonderfully poor performance on quest that was a ticket to vomit town.

Hey, the controllers aren't worthless after all! https://twitter.com/boztank/status/1580320696550363136?t=qcaXeV17V3xE6V1egQNtGg&s=19 Also I hear the battery life of the headset is greatly extended by turning off all the face tracking/eye tracking stuff. I'm still not crazy about it at that price point, but it's starting to look like less of a complete trainwreck of a device at least. TIP fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Oct 13, 2022 |

Catching up on the Meta Connect Keynote and goddamn that's a whole lot of loving nothing aside from the headset itself across 80 minutes. My favourite bit is the big spiel about "moving away from app-centric development to social development" and then just jumping back to "APPS APPS APPS" without missing a beat. I'm prefacing here by fully acknowledging that there are great uses for professional VR in design and prototyping, however, the language used here is very transparently coached towards saying "VR works in other fields with specific applications for it, it'll be great in your corporate office to increase ~productivity~". Which, again, no. And lol. There's some big kickstarter pitch energy to this in general where they promise it'll be good, just hang in there, even though we have nothing to show yet!! (*FAILED TO MEET GOAL*) Also what feels some real "right hand not talking to the left" at work when they go over some bullshot animation with avatars just to completely invalidate it with the new full human avatars afterwards  ."Legs are hard, which is why other virtual reality systems don't have them, either". Zuck says, about *checks timestamp* 45 minutes after mentioning VRChat existing.  . At least it looks like it might actually be the new avatars this time instead of bullshot animation given the janky framerate. Also kids you'll be able to buy and wear BRANDED CLOTHES for your avatar in our store! Isn't that exciting??The Road Ahead section has some interesting tech, but none of it's actually FOR Meta it's just the "...I made this!" meme writ large and ~MaYBe~ it'll get integrated in VR/AR someday. Possibly. Isn't the future cool, investors/kids? Though lol at the "photorealistic avatars are cool and good" bit said right at the audience by their scientist. Listen to the scientist, consumers, what he says MUST be true!!  Though the Instant Avatars sure are eerie  . You can tell it's animating individual elements of the face (eyes, mouth, some of the cheek structure) while other parts are just weighted to the head. I bet people will love looking at those in meetings and not at all feel uncomfortable and offput by a group of them in a room (I know, I know, work in progress, but still)

I got a index and 3080ti but I can’t figure out what settings I should set my graphics to to make the RE2 VR mod not run like complete rear end. What is everyone else typically setting things to go get decent, stable fps?

I'm on a 3060 and didn't touch a single graphical setting, it ran absolutely fine - if you've adjusted the graphics then try setting them back to default, I feel like there were some things they recommended not touching but I can't remember what. Otherwise, not sure.

I was an early adopter of the Rift and PSVR, then after they collected dust, I convinced myself that the simplicity of the Quest’s no cord/1 cord setup would result in more frequent usage. That happened for a while but didn’t pan out quite as much as I expected; but I still have it in my head I’m going to revisit VR in the future. My understanding is that quest 2 is far superior to 1; is it worth an upgrade? Is it better to maybe wait on the inevitable “we sold 0 pros” trickle down to the quest 3? Most pressing: have there actually been any jumps in VR game development since, say, 2020? I have HL Alyx and Arktika and the Star Wars Vader games; how has development progressed since then? What are the single player milestone games of note since then? Are we any closer to AAA VR games, or are we still in the mostly indie jank phase? For reference, the most incredible experience I ever had in VR was playing RE7 through entirely in VR. I dream of the day where we get that kind of experience with lots of games and genres, if it’s with less screen door effect all the better.

Anyone have any idea what has gone wrong with my Steam VR Home - the first time I used it I could download a whole bunch of different 'Homes' but now when I look under the 'Places' menu there's nothing there. I can access all the items and mess around in the default home, but it would be nice to try out some others. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Could it be that my headset battery was too low?

They seem to be making a serious attempt at a AAA VR push. In terms of games in the vein of Alyx, you might want to check out Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners which released around the same time, a sequel is coming out soon too. It's an attempt at a VR immersive sim, isn't quite AAA but sits well above indie jank. There's also perennial favorite Walkabout Mini Golf, which is the reason why my household has 5 headsets now. Stylistically it doesn't look AAA but the game itself is extremely polished and loaded with high quality content and DLC courses that are absolutely awesome, it's VR's sleeper killer app if that makes sense. Otherwise it has been pretty dry. The Half Life 2 VR mod is really cool? There's quite a few flatscreen > VR mods now, but that one stands out with particularly good VR mechanics.

I can't check right now, but as I recall most of those things are fetched via the Steam workshop. Could it be you've got your Steam set to offline mode or that it's otherwise unable to access the SteamVR workshop through the regular interface?

Hmm maybe - but I can interact with all of the furniture and things, and I can interact with the premade templates, but nothing comes under Popular. The first time I tried it I downloaded a cosy forest cabin but that’s gone too. So weird.

The Workshop functionality is reliant on being connected to the Steam servers, so if Steam isn't running or the there is some other issue with connectivity, no Workshop items will work. If that is the case, the panels in the default home should also be broken, and not show any content. This also counts for ALL custom keybindings, so if Steam isn't running, you lose all inputs if they aren't set to default.

also the VR to flatscreen discord is a great place to look for answers/help if you're casting your help line into multiple places. for me if any VR mod was giving me trouble, it was the VR API being used, I think openxr was fine but I had better performance using steamvr?

So yeah, let us know your CPU - I'm on a 5600X for reference, game runs fine to my eyes.

It appears I'm like a month late to this, but why am I getting a "no confirmed emails on file for this account" message when setting up my Meta account (or attempting to do so)? I can't do it with or without facebook, same error both ways. It recognizes that I have a Quest 2 when I go into the phone app, but gets stuck there every time. This is what I get for updating things, apparently. Stupid me

I'd probably upgrade for that price if it improved on stuff that matters to me like battery life and resolution. It sounds like even the Quest Pro is not that much better in the battery department though and the resolution is better but not by a lot so I have to wonder how much of a difference there would be between a Quest 2 and 3 at that price point.

I like my Q2 as a stand alone device so I'll probably buy 3 and give 2 to my nephew who is 11. Poor dude came to me in August and told me he's saving for a quest and I had to tell him about the price increase. He even came to me last month and asked if I could loan him $200.

https://twitter.com/hmltn/status/1580613618600914944 Legs segment was a bullshot. And don't expect the face tracking to work to the fullest anytime soon if it maxes out the enterprise level hardware. https://www.roadtovr.com/quest-pro-face-tracking-tech-demo-aura/ "Luckily Meta has built a tech demo which shows what’s possible when an avatar is designed with Quest Pro’s face-tracking in mind (and when almost all of the headset’s processing power is dedicated to rendering it)."

Yeah, I thought it was interesting how he said the usual plan of sell the hardware at a loss and make it up in software/service sales can lead to a weird kind of unhealthy feedback loop in some cases. Like if you're losing money on every headset, and people buying headsets are getting tons of value from and using a lot of free applications, then "free" stuff starts to look like the enemy (because it's leading to hardware sales [-$] but not bringing software/service sales [+$] with it.)
