How terrible is the lenovo explorer really? What I want is PCVR on a budget, I don't much care for anything but SteamVR games. Do the controllers really suck that bad? I'd prolly get it off ebay. e: I could easily get a used Rift DK instead, if that is better? I've actually used that one back when it came out and I was at uni.

SCheeseman posted:Importing is a pain in the rear end and can be expensive, but it's still more economical to import a cheap-rear end WMR headset than it is to buy a HTC HMD locally and I'd take a WMR headset over any of the inside-out tracking Cosmos variants any day. The Lenovo Explorer I found was like $90 opened but unused display model, which I think is a pretty good deal. All peripherals and box contents included. You could find something for like $60 used I bet, another $60 for importing.

Hadlock posted:Adjusting for inflation it's $200 Except $600 is already really expensive, if you are at the point where you can afford that the extra hundred is pretty much irrelevant, no matter where you are. You won't get a random poor third-world person buying either. Even just in Eastern Europe you mainly get people buying the phone "vr" cases because that's the actual low-cost vr option, not a loving six hundred dollar device. For a poor person that might as well be ten thousand dollars.

It's honestly very close to Blade and Sorcery. There's even a mod to replicate the select spell wheel from B&S (spell wheel vr). e: Oh and get the locational damage mod, that's pretty important too.

I posted about this before but if you don't have an oculus device then google oculus revive for compatibility drivers for steamvr via openvr. As asgards wrath is an oculus exclusive. Vader Immortal is pretty good too and worth trying, even if it's more of an action-adventure game than anything.

I did install it then got super turned off by the FB integration as I don't use FB at all. I'll check out vader immortal. Ty. Yeah you need to login into it, though it adds the oculus games to your steam library and it runs the store automatically from Steam if you try to play them, so no need to keep it running constantly. Just treat it like the ubisoft store or whatever. There's no real facebook integration from within the games that I can tell. e: It only adds the game to the VR library not the desktop steam one, since it's done via a plugin. In other words you can either run the games by running SteamVR first and then choosing them from VR, or by running the revive menu and launching them from desktop.

Just go ask in YOSPOS there's plenty of people who've done the same, but for the most part it's going to be some version of "build a portfolio of small dev projects using in-vogue technologies and get into webdev". It's several months of spare time effort though fair warning. Also most people probably won't be keen on handholding you without a lot of pestering, since that's kindof a lot of effort too.

Senator Drinksalot posted:China killed a lot of the mining market, it's mostly just ahole scalpers now. That said it's not looking good still, the prices fell a bit but it's started to moderate again last week. I really want to build a new vr rig but realistically with UK prices that's like £1600 at least and I can't afford to pay that much to go from "bit laggy but mostly playable on reasonable settings" to "actually smooth and good looking". Given that I definitely agree with whoever said that PCVR is just too expensive, I could probably sell my 4 year old setup including VR and peripherals on ebay for around £1000 (I looked) and that's definitely not good enough for a smooth PCVR gaming experience. Compare that with a quest 2 that retails for £399 and the price difference is pretty stark. Private Speech fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Aug 3, 2021 |

Yeah it's how it deals with dropped frames, it might be better to just stay at 90. I sometimes struggle to maintain even 90 with a 3070ti, so I would just use that in more demanding games, but YMMV.

Vib Rib posted:Both were block based games about placing and removing blocks with a digging theme. Infiniminer was more like an arcade game, set in a sort of vertical dirt pit, and you played by going down, finding ore, and bringing it to the surface to score points, trying to get more than your opponent. That was about it. Obvious similarities, and you can see where inspiration came from, but hardly the same thing. There's a bunch more similarities though, graphical and sound style, lava/tnt/diamonds, even the building of structures on multiplayer servers. Also the general size of blocks, players, fluid physics, etc. The infiniminer devs was Zach Barth zachtronics btw., who hasn't done all that badly for himself either (infinichem, shenzen I/O etc).

This clearly shows the majestic superiority of the MS VR controllers, despite the OP hating on them. I mean you do get buttons, sticks AND a touchpad, what's not to like (aside from the bulkiness and poor tracking and all that).

I have a GTX 1660 Super, new MoBo with WiFi 6 and an AMD Ryzen 7. Will that rig be able to handle PCVR games? I've passed all the VR Check software poo poo I can find but don't really wanna drop a grand on this and have my rig be chugging like crazy all the time. I'm mainly interested in VRChat, watching movies, and virtual desktop applications. Don't care about RE4, but would like to give some games a shot (Fallout 4 VR, Star Trek Bridge Crew, No Man's Sky, Project Cars are on my list as of now). How am I looking? One thing to keep in mind is that latest NMS is very demanding, but you can use steamre/depot to go back to an earlier version and it helps a lot. I played it with 1050 but I had to do the above, turn down settings ludicrously and install potato-mode mods.

Jack Trades posted:Does anyone have any experience with this games series? The latest one just came out and was apparently built with VR support from the get go. It's not bad, even the older games in the series (and it's a very long-running one) are quite good, but they differ in how much building and mining you can do. The graphics are more or less unchanged over the decade. Generally it's minecraft without the crafting bit but with arcadey fps and rpg elements. The most enjoyable part is exploring the world once you have a character that can take of themselves. It's not the first one with VR support either, but I didn't play the last one much in VR. Can take a few hours to figure out.

If you don't already have them (or have index controllers) I recommend finding old lenovo explorer controllers on ebay as well. They are compatible and better for some games thanks to the clicky touchpads and thus much higher number of inputs (it's the thing that the OP calls "The other WMR controller"). Maybe not a priority but can be nice for games made for touchpad controls, like "I want you to die" and whatnot. Also for modded skyrim thanks to all the inputs, I assume for flightsims without a stick as well. Private Speech fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Nov 14, 2021 |

I think it might have to do with your USB connection, it's quite power- and data- hungry. I haven't had any issues since I swapped to a new high-end mobo, but I did have some trouble before, Some people recommend using a dedicated USB PCIE card, but even that might not help depending. e: if it's a refurb it's possible there's a bad connection somewhere internally as well e2: to be clear I've literally not had the connection drop out once in the last ~200 hours no matter what I run, there's something wrong Private Speech fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Nov 16, 2021 |

Jokerpilled Drudge posted:Vorpx is a waste of money don't get it unless you want to experiment games that dont really work well in vr. I've seen Tip talk up vorpx before and just simply cannot imagine where they are coming from because there is a GTAV VR mod that works even better than vorpx does and nothing else I was interested in even worked a tiny bit. Don't even think about playing a multiplayer game (or mmo) because the anti-cheats will completely stop vorpx from working. It's not terrible when it's your only option and if you take (a lot of) time to set it up, but I have motion sickness issues and can't really handle games that don't have support for room-scale movement so I haven't used it that much. Once it's dialled down correctly t's about on par with the VR mode for ARK or Subnautica (which are some of the worst first-party VR implementations I've seen). I suppose it depends on what you want, ultimately it's a gimmick that lets you look at some flatscreen worlds in VR. It's not particularly great for playing through the games entirely in VR, but for a lot of things it's the only way to get VR working. Also $35 isn't that much in the VR world.
