Nalin posted:My Galaxy S6 overheats inside my Gear VR in about 5-10 minutes. When that happens, it stops your game with an overheat warning message. If you ignore it, the phone starts to throttle the GPU and suddenly you are dropping tons of frames inside VR. It isn't fun at all. Have you tried turning down the brightness? My S6 used to overheat (after 30 min, never as quick as 5-10), but turning the brightness down to 3-4 notches stopped that from happening. I can game for an hour plus now, and I've watched 3 hours of Neflix without any issues. Even my brother with a Note4 uses one with no problems. I'd still definitely recommend the Gear for anyone with a compatible phone.

So are there any Populous style games in the works? Or really any kind of "boardgame simulator." Seems like such a natural and obvious fit for VR.

Hadlock posted:You need a school or office desk with 2 or 3" casters. Preferably Check out Worthingtondirect.com and see what they have from Balt or Bretford. You can order a totally bespoke commercial grade desk for under $300. Talk to Crimson or Kevin M (phone or online chat), give them your budget and they'll be able to work with you. If you get some garbage from OfficeMax it's going to be some cheap Chinese garbage. For a few dollars more you can get a real computer desk. So would this be pretty solid? http://tinyurl.com/je3lhzb That adjustable height split surface seems like it would be awesome for big peripherals.

There's been at least a half dozen people in this thread talk about having to cover pictures on the wall, tv screens, windows, etc. to keep the lighthouses from freaking out. There is no way that is going to work for mass consumer adoption. It's fine for early adopters who don't mind dedicating a space to VR, but I can't imagine that tracking system surviving past the first few generations of headsets.

Well, I was planning to hold off for second gen headsets, but the Rift price drop combined with selling my old PC for $600 seems a bit too coincidental to ignore. Anyone know what all free games are included now with Rift? I know Robo Recall is, but not sure if the launch freebie bundle is still included or not.

Cool, sounds like Eve Valkyrie is no big loss anyway. Now the question is do I run to Best Buy and get it today, or wait until after I beat the new Mass Effect???

So judging from that video you just spaz out and fill in circles, note charts are no longer a thing? That looks so loving bad. e: Ordered my Rift from Oculus yesterday, anyone know roughly how long they take to ship? Haven't gotten a tracking email yet.

I'll probably pick up Elite Dangerous pretty soon too.

Bhodi posted:The fastest and best fix is to go into settings -> developer use "quick calibrate" to a small room while your headset is on the floor, then load up Chaperone Tweak within VR to drag it exactly to where it belongs and drag your walls to the oculus ones. This worked perfectly, thanks for taking the time to write it up!

I've found the teleportation to be pretty good after a few rounds of Robo Recall, it took a bit to get used to though. I wish H3VR had the same teleportation scheme, I'm still struggling to find a way to move around in that game that works well.

iceaim posted:Indeed. Unity is great for most 3D games, but it's not good for anything that needs performance. This is why Big Screen will never match Virtual Desktop. Another good virtual screen app written at a lower level is VR Toolbox. Supposedly VorpX trumps everything as a virtual screen if you can successfully inject it into the game's EXE since none of the other virtual screens use the injection method; they simply do a real time screen capture. Personally I've only used VorpX in VR mode rather than Virtual screen mode, and my experience with that has been quite good. I'd love to try VorpX, but I don't really want to drop $40 on it when I don't even know that I'd like what it does.

I broke down and bought the Rock Band VR. It's actually pretty cool, and not as simplistic as the videos made it look. Been a long time since I've played any GH/RB guitar though, my hand is cramping up already.

My top 3: Elite Dangerous - never played this before VR but now it's all I want to do Robo Recall - just super polished and fun, feels like the kind of game I'd be dropping stacks of quarters into back in the arcade heydays SuperhotVR - it's just badass Honorable mentions to First Contact and Google Earth, both never fail to amaze when I demo the Rift.
