Can I play Cities: Skylines with a thousand dollar Vive, because I think that would be a really cool dumb experience.

This also came to mind, but only if I can pick up my giant angry ape and pet it until it’s good.

As a successful remote employee for the last 12 years who is rapidly developing an interest in plunking down some serious dosh for a VR setup, that’s the dumbest loving thing I’ve heard in a while.

I have one, got it set up, and then Index showed up.
Is wireless likely to be an option with the index in the foreseeable future, or are these systems just pushing too many pixels too fast now for that to work?

As I'm considering an index, can you go into detail on the failure here?

How long is the wiring harness on the index? Thinking about it, but trying to figure out where/how. I have plenty of space, but my computer setup is a little nonconventional.

The 3-piece cable that goes to your computer is about 1 meter, the main cable that connects from that to the HMD is 5 meters. There's a breakaway connector between them.

Or what are you asking if not that?

Looking to grab a rift a tonight. Should be good with a 1060 6gb, 16gb ram and a i7 4770k eh?

Similar boat except I'm waiting for the index to become available. How much trust can I place in the steam VR performance tester? Has it at all been updated for more modern hardware, and if so, is there another benchmark I should try?

Here's the report:



You can see exactly when a message popped up on telegram, the fact that something like a notification can make an actual real dip like that makes me wonder.

I really like how you dont just warp things into your palm, it comes close and then you sort of have to grab it mid air. I didn't see any inventory management, hopefully it's just as engaging.

Talking about if your IPD is above or below the recommended IPD range, then you're better off with the Quest IMO. Index supports 58-70mm, if you're within a couple mm of that it'll probably be fine but depends on personal preference.

Looks like I’m 59mm. I assume it’s fully good through that entire range, and not squishing into a stop toward the end of the range?

Those of you that are apparently waitlisted, where does it say the estimated shipping date? I can't find any such thing anywhere and I don't know if that means mine is in limbo or if it means I got in on the limited available stock for round 1.

So I guess I should be grateful I'm in the 2~4 week range.... I think I can hold off playing Alyx a couple of days if I complete the order and they arrive in late March. I'm more than likely gonna cave immediately tho and end up playing with the vive wands

Maybe I'm daft but I don't get any sort of "in-process orders" category on my order history, it's just a flat list of items. The top item being this:



And if I click through on "View Shipment Details" I get:



I got mine started (with the "complete this invoice by March 10" showing up) within the first ten minutes, and had successfully paid and had my confirmation email by 20 after the hour. v:confused:v

I’m guessing that created the invoice which snagged your order. Then the actual payment was allowed more time to get sorted out. Makes sense if you know your store is going to get hammered, just do the easiest thing first and let the details get sorted after the rush.

Is there a must-have list of apps/games for this Index I supposedly have coming my way? Games, experiences, utilities, etc. Fun one-offs to let the friends/family try out when they visit, actual games with a goal, whatever. Personally don’t really care much about pure sandbox play, but other than that, what’s immediately recommended?

I'd still wager you're on track. If this change is just happening within the last few hours, it seems to indicate that anyone who says "processing" really did get in to the in-stock wave 1, as guessed. Congrats!
