How do you go about adding external windows into a VR game? Like streamers being able to read their chat or something like that?

I'm playing DCS in Occulus VR mode and I'd like to be able to add a window with like a PDF viewer or maybe a youtube window so I can reference a tutorial while still wearing my face toaster.

You can pin windows using the oculus overlay. Personally I use Xsoverlay as it's nicer

The Oculus Home software can do it natively. For SteamVR, I use OVR Toolkit

I mean steamvr can natively pull out windows now too if i remember right.

Twitch/Youtube chat specifically LIV streamerkit is decent.

I still use OVR Toolkit tbh. Wrist watch and poo poo with my trackers batteries and all that.

Picked my wife’s quest up from Best Buy today, the box says it has a resident evil download code inside, cool cool, but the bundle on Best Buy’s site also said it included beat saber, but I don’t see any info (at least via my phone) on how to redeem that. Is that just something through registering the device with meta or what, anyone know?

Verily, the whip is ghost riding.



I played Nerf Ultimate Championship, they have a free 30 min trial

I dot really go for shooting games in VR but this one does not feel violent at all. Its clear you are shooting darts, all the Nerf blasters make the right noises , the darts even veer off at the end of their shot too. There is a double jump and wall running mechanic that is fun

There are 5 maps now i think, all 4 v 4. There is a king of the mountain one, a hold A B C one, a small factory level, and 2 big arenas.

For $15 bux its not bad

Last I checked, XSOverlay doesn't do touch emulation so scrolling, etc, is more awkward. I don't like having to use the joysticks.

I'm using virtual desktop just fine with the Pico 4, in Europe, if that helps! It's better than the native streaming assistant and the free alternative, bigscreen, at least so far.

I’ve interacted with him a few times and my take is he’s one of those “the sweat of mine brow” lolberts and treats piracy like he got mugged for twenty bucks IRL.

That said, I popped into his discord the other week to check on the progress of the OpenVR rewrite and his support channel was unusually packed with machine translated engrish.

I haven't been playing much vr lately but decided to dust off my Index. Have there been any block buster VR titles I should check out? Obviously I am still playing beat saber, synth riders, walkabout VR, and mucking about in some of the shooters including into the radius but wondering if anything dropped in the last year that was really really great? Its hard sometimes to sift through all the bad titles.

I was gonna say Into the Radius, my favorite game of this year. H3VR is fun too, but that really needs some kind of game loop as it still feels like a tech demo.

  • Blade and Sorcery got some really good updates.
  • Bonelabs if you want a fun, but really short game.
  • Contractors and Pavlov have a ton of good mods.
  • Walking Dead Saints & Sinners is on PC now.
  • Moss 2 if you were into Moss 1.
  • Demeo for some coop DND fun.
  • Half Life 2 VR mod.
  • Compound if you want a build engine like VR game.

I have access to a large empty space at work, that a coworker and I want to use as a VR area when we get bored during the day. Aside from the usual things that are nice to have a big play are inz are there any games that specifically want a large area to generate the game from?

There was one app on app labs that claimed to do this, but it was more of a tech demo then actual game.

I think the Space Pirate Trainer guys did something (a new mode?) that require a big space for 2 players .

Yeah this for me. A lot of people I guess when it comes to beat saber just want the hardest thing ever. Calling that map boring as hell means I guess you need just nonsense technical maps that are artificially challenging because the map to me looks A) hard as gently caress and B) fun as hell. No way I can do that though I am still in expert territory.

I did indeed unironically post that.

Why? Because its actually interesting and not just recycled 2 year old notes for nearly 9 min.

It also has multiple difficulties that are in fact, not boring. Not sure what hours played here has to do with anything. The maps approachable if you think freebird looks "insane and fun".


And yes, Beat saber was my full time job for like, 2-3 years? Itdon't change the fact freebird looks boring as poo poo.
