Bondematt posted:Airlink has been great for me, and the only way I can play Tabor. VD still has stuttering issues in that game. Huh, Ill need to do some troubleshooting. Its basically acting as if I have it streaming at an absurdly high resolution and bitrate so its just unusable, yet I can see my airlink settings are all low. Also gave Steam Link a whirl and while I wish it had the clarity/resolution of VDs Godlike preset(will need to dial in steamvrs settings to match), its compression seems much better than anything Ive gotten out of VD. I have some test saves through various games I use with areas that really show compression artifacting and Im getting virtually zero with SL vs some in VD.

AccountSupervisor posted:Is AirLink totally messed up for anyone else? I picked up a 4090 recently wanted to do some VD vs AirLink comparisons for the hell of it now that I can use the AV1 codec on my Quest 3 and AirLink is completely unusable. That's gotta suck to spend that kinda coin on a gpu and have issues. Make sure you aren't dealing with 5ghz Wifi traffic if you're not using a Wifi 6 router. If you have more than a dozen SSID's around you, that could be the situation, as it was for me.

It has been a while since I have used my headset but I used some credit I had to buy walk about levels and beat saber music packs. However, I noticed that I got a device referral. When did they make the referral $60 instead of $30? Also, if someone here used my device referral from way back, thanks!

Can anyone give a thumbs up/thumbs down on the 7900XTX for vrchat? Is its performance any better than it was on launch? I remember reading that it is/was loving abysmal due to driver fuckery, and that video/audio players do not work properly with an AMD GPU.

Thankfully everything outside of AirLink performs like an absolute dream and my 4090 is giving me the high fidelity VR Ive wanted since I built my original GTX 970 VR rig n 2016, so coin well invested. Ill look into the wifi 6/5ghz stuff. Definitely something weird happening.

That could be. I had gotten a referral years ago for $30 so I do not know if this happened first but I am not complaining.

VR performance for the 7000 series back in July. I'm not really sure how the performance compares to the Radeon 6000 series or the GeForce 4070 Ti / 4080 as nobody really does VR performance comparison benchmarks. Its usually just some people on YouTube doing very unscientific tests and saying things are better.

From what I'm reading on Internet, for some people it works better than previous solutions (VD/Airlink), and for some people it works worse.

My problem with steam link is the foveated rendering on the quest 3. I love the beautiful edge to edge clarity of the optics and it’s just gone with steam link. You’d think it’d be optional but I’ll be hosed if I can find it.

What's the goon consensus on a good headstrap for a quest 3? I have the Bobo VR one with the battery for 2 and liked it - is the one for 3 good?

The one for quest 3 is the same strap with an adapter on it basically. Since you already have the adapter for quest 2 you could just get an adapter for it.

Anti-Tachyon posted:Thanks everyone. Now that I have some new terms to search, it seems like I might be able to get away with a mesh or wifi booster and connecting that to the pc via ethernet. I had a very old booster that didn't work, but I think a wifi 6 one might. A "booster" that isn't part of an integrated system is the worst way to extend network coverage, never use those. The whole system needs to be aware of what's going on. For a mesh system you want one with dedicated radios for uplink, otherwise internet performance will be halved at every hop and interference will be greater with all the remote stations operating on the same channel.

eddiewalker posted:Can I play Tetris Effect on quest while laying down? if you can get your room to face the ceiling yeah it should make the game launch that same direction. Similar pain in the dick with watching movies. Gotta make the playspace think its sideways or whatever. Another game I've had fun with recently that tetris reminded me of. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1118070/1976__Back_to_midway/ Its exactly what you'd expect if you remember the old games.

Kazy posted:Sometimes SLink sets the volume on mics super low. Try turning up the mic's volume in the Windows sound settings and SteamVR settings. Yeah, I think that might have been what it was? I fiddled with the volume setting in steamVR and it looks like it was picking up, but it seemed like it slider was at mid way already. (and in one menu the gain was already maxed?) Will need to check the windows settings next time I guess. Though, something particularly screwy happened - upon opening some menu in steam caused all the audio on my PC to get lowered a bunch, even once I got out of VR and whatnot, it doesn't look like any volume settings I could see got hosed with, and a reboot fixed it. Kazy posted:You can increase the foveated size. Not sure how much how you can make it on the Quest 3 though. Is this what's causing stuff outside of the the center of view to blur a bunch? I got a quest 2 and whatever is going on with Steam Link feels much more distracting then what I'm used to from Virtual Desktop.

Why on earth would Steam Link be set up to do foveation on headsets without eye trackers?

All the VR streaming apps do foveation of some kind, since it makes sense to prioritize bitrate on the center of the image where the user focuses at most and optical clarity is highest.

What are some good alternatives to the Quest 2 headstraps? Battery mount is nice but not required. I have the Elite one but it's breaking. 3D printing is also an option and I'm not above finagling to assemble or frankenstein things.

I caved and picked up a Quest 3, and I gotta say it DOES feel like a nice step up from the 2. The lenses are awesome, and I really like the implementation of the passthrough. Does anyone have a referral link for Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes? I’ve been wanting to try the VR version.

Theres also hand actions in the maps so I'm not sure how that works when your hands are strapped on your feet? With that said. Using actual trackers on shoes, its a great rear end time.
