I haven't seen that with other games myself, might be just VR chat? Or headset dependent.

VRChat would launch in SteamVR if you had a headset on, but then would prompt you when you're in desktop mode iirc. Now it is more consistent in that it prompts you each time but that's more annoying to deal with.

runaway dog posted:Does anyone else still use a rift s and if so are you getting the thing where every time you put back on your headset, it wants you to redo guardian, even if you only took it off for less than a minute? This was one of the major things that drove me to bite the bullet and get a Q3. I had to redraw my guardian constantly as you said. I never found a fix, and then sometimes it would freeze or stop up while I was redrawing it.

Oxyclean posted:2) There's something really fucky with notifications - when I get in VR I'll start getting steam notifications for people on my friends list playing X or Y game, but it almost seems like im getting some weird massive backlog of these messages cause they will keep popping up for minutes on end of games people are not actually currently playing. Yeah I seemed to be getting every notification I've ever gotten on Steam over the last week so I just ended up disabling VR notifications completely.

It's actually easier to position without it. I'm sure someone doing a lot of boxing or something might need it, but I haven't had it budge just playing Tabor & Into the Radius.

It's such a huge improvement, But I'm having an embarrassingly hard time getting the top strap through, so I may have to live without it I just used a smaller, thinner, easier-to-bend velcro strap to get it started feeding thru. other folks have used like duct tape and such. But its really vestigial... Mine is loose on both my Q3 and Q2. Played Powerwash VR a bit last night, I got a little woozy playing. But thats not saying much. It seemed like the game I played flat screen, but in VR. Graphics seem a bit dumbed down? Like spraying things doesn't make them "wet", just "not dirty". But otherwise seemed the same game? Granted, only did the first house in the campaign. So might change as things get more complex and framerate takes a dive.

That makes it a lot easier to thread through the attach point.

That makes it a lot easier to thread through the attach point. That worked like a charm, thanks! I played around with different sound options last night. The built-in speakers are a big improvement from the Q2, but I think I'm going to continue using headphones in games where sound is important. It was difficult to ID ghosts by the sound of their footsteps in Phasmophobia, and being able to hear all the city sounds outside the game was distracting. I tried syncing up some bluetooth earbuds to my Q3 to see what that was like. Turns out that it's still hilariously bad. It took almost half a second for any sound to get to me.

I overhauled my home network stuff yesterday, part of which was removing my old mesh system from the home and replacing it with a single nice-rear end Nighthawk that does 6E. My plan was to try to use 6E around the house, but honestly it falls off so quickly with distance that the 5ghz out of the Nighthawk on a good channel is absolutely incredible for my wireless devices. I have the D-Link VR Air Bridge on my wired desktop and it might be placebo but I think the performance is noticeably better with the mesh out of the picture. So I decided to see if I can push it a bit further than I was before. So some random subjective Virtual Desktop testing if anyone cares, with the Quest 3. I loaded up Pistol Whip which has some very small text on the level posters, and tested a few things, all at 90hz, Steam oversampling at 1.0x because Virtual Desktop does all the work there: High vs. Ultra resolution - could not tell a difference in sharpness of the text or any kind of aliasing/shimmering difference. HVEC 10-bit at 200Mbits vs. H264+ at 500Mbits (I thought the limit was 400Mbits, is this a recent update?) - could not tell a difference in sharpness of text, but H264+ at that bitrate at least did not pass the "turn head really quickly in Pistol Whip lobby" test, where stuff was getting overloaded and I'd get stutters/latency. The H264+ is just a less efficient codec so can cause latency more easily, and I don't believe it's adding any benefit in graphics quality. So right now I'm able to play Alyx on my 3080 with HVEC 10-bit/High resolutions with the game at High settings and the internal dynamic resolution changing Alyx uses turned off (using the "-console -vconsole +vr_fidelity_level_auto 0 +vr_fidelity_level 3" command line arguments, which keep it at the 100% state) with a stable 90, which I'm really happy with. These settings also passed the Pistol Whip test which I find to be fairly stressful over Virtual Desktop due to the constant stage movement and amount you move your head/hands. Ultimately I think I'm pretty set on the High Resolution + HVEC 10-bit/200Mbits combo with the 3080, I don't think there's much reason to squeak out a bit more Supersampling at Ultra when frame drops/stutters remove SO much more immersion/add so much more annoyance than any additional res is adding IMO.

I've settled on HEVC 10-bit at around 125-150 Mbps personally. Once I start getting 150 and higher the headset decode set starts being the biggest hit to my latency. I can't imagine how long the headset decode is taking when you are doing 200-400 Mbps encodes.

With my 3070, Virtual Desktop, and a 6e router I got a steady 90fps with Alyx on max settings. Good poo poo. MSFS2020 is now playable too. If I can fix the drat controls. Certain things I have to use the keyboard. My xbsx gamepad works for other things, and same with the Quest 3 controllers.

Content is king. Doesn’t matter if the headset has better specs if it’s app store blows. It was also dumb of them to not sell it in the US. The biggest market for their product.
