Holy poo poo finally got around to pushing 120hz on Index.. even when things are running at 60/120 it was smoother than solid 90 (deffo better than intermittent 90) and I was pulling full 120 in some cases. Was first just testing it for DR2.0 since I was basically locked at 45 before but now locked at 60 and the improvement is very noticeable. Overall less shimmering seems a bit brighter/more vibrant, and fast moving objects are smoother to the point of feeling like a new headset or gpu upgrade after using it a few months Didn't think my machine would do it justice so never bothered going beyond 90 but now unless a game is just choking to the point I can't maintain 60 can't see myself going back down. I have a 3570k/2060/16gb, so higher spec'd machines will be all the better Now waiting on a new drive to show up so I can pick up Asgard and have space left for Stormland, Boneworks, Lone Echo 2, Low-Fi, Medal of Honor, Valve's whateverthefuck title, etc

Yeah beat saber runs well even with potato so sounds like something is wrong. I have a 2060/3570k and have no problem pulling 120fps on an Index at 100%. Don't have an S but my cv1 had no problem holding 90 with ss cranked to 170

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Post ur rig Only shot I have is an early wip when I was working out initial kinematics and my living room is a right mess with a another rig behind it  I have an aluminum extrusion frame and it will rotate like a spit roast on pivots down the central tube, with limited range of motion like +/-10deg but with highish force. Handlebars are coupled to the tilt mechanism via pushrods/bellcrank at a 2:1 reduction and the pickup is a push/pull load cell with an elastomer bushings circuit similar to Fanatec csl lc pedal except goes both ways. Twist throttle on a pot and footbrake a load cell. Parts are ebay scores of FZR500 bits. Now that MXBikes is out, I'll complete the controls with clutch/brake levers, sequential foot shifter and possibly some kind of rocking-horse base to allow pulling up/pushing fwd. It still needs a bunch of tinkering though the critical bits have been done but even on blocks making vroom vroom noises it's way funner than the ottoman. Yes I need to get a life.

Truga posted:Yeah at first I thought vive staying warm while just plugged in was dumb, then Iunplugged it once, and then when I started playing lenses immediately fogged up. I leave my poo poo plugged in but Index is a lot less fog prone than expected, way less than gen1/1.5 sets but I don't see it mentioned much. Likely the airgap between the dual element lenses makes them work like doublepane windows, which also insulates your eyes a bit more so even though it runs hotter than earlier hmd you don't really notice as much. The audio is a game changer of course but quality of life features like comfort/fogging add more than they get credit for and despite the wire I don't at all regret picking one up. Edge to edge clarity (worth the purchase price of glare in loading screens) and increased vertical fov is a godsend in most sims and of course games benefit from it as well as just hanging out in vr. Not sure why this turned into a used car commercial but the lack of fogging got me on a role *slaps roof of Index*

Unexpectedly observed how much better edge to edge clarity of Index lenses is, newest version of reVive allows you to visit your Oculus home, which was the only thing I sort of missed when I jumped ship. Load it up and was all wtf because the outer 1/3 of the fov are rendered way lower and have lots of shimmer and z fighting or some poo poo. Never noticed this in my cv1 because everything looks like that when you move your eyeball from the sweet spot

Leal posted:Alright so played about 2 hours in VR and yeah putting on the back brace helped a lot. Its funny cause I wouldn't think of having this on in any situation other then my job, lifting heavy rear end produce boxes all day. But for simply standing upright for an hour, gotta get the support of the brace. I used to have a lovely back too but vr ironically fixed that. I have a hardwood floor in my living room where my setup is, and when looking at things to put down for comfort/tactile orientation led me to discover current gen exercise mats. After ruling out throw rugs and thick foamy puzzle mats and the likes I ended up getting a Square36 cardio mat that's 4x6 feet (they come in lots of sizes). It's a black toughened giant yoga mat that's only 1/4 inch thick and lays perfectly flat but cushy enough I can crawl on my hands and knees. It's also made of some material that has no smell at all, one of the things that bothered me about all the other options I checked out. Works like a champ for VR and highly recommend it or one of the competing brand versions for this,. I eventually got the notion to start stretching and found a yoga for idiots youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VS6jgTTYAQ) and started doing it without any expectations other than restoring some flexibility so I wouldn't feel so loving old. Found it relaxing, stuck with it and much to my surprise my back only hurts now if I actually do something stupid like lift some poo poo wrong or physically strain it. I have a backbrace for those occasions but now it's getting dusty welp that's my story thanks for listening Here's to hoping 2020 is as good a year for vr as 2019 was

I don't know poo poo about Half Life beyond memes and and mostly sim in VR and have an Index so was all whatever but after spending some time in the environments they just released holy moly I can't wait for the 23rd. I didn't realize VR could even look like that with current technology. I run Steam home at 170%ss and recently upgraded to a 2080 in a 3570k machine. Pulling 120 fps except when looking at posters and poo poo on a wall and even when the fps drops there's no noticeable jank, jitter or shimmer. Of course this are just environments and the game might run different but the quality bodes well, v polished.

jubjub64 posted:So apparently I have really prominent cheekbones/cheekfat that makes the Index face gasket not sit properly on my face. This causes my eyes to move out of the sweet spot. To fix this, without destructively modifying the face gasket, I Frankensteined this together from an OG Rift VRCover, some cloth and some adhesive velcro. I'm gonna buy some additional face gaskets in the future so that I can permanently modify one for myself but for now this ghetto-fabulous mod offsets my forehead so that I stay in that sweet, sweet, sweet-spot. Thank you for your time. I stacked 6mm of neodymium magnets at the top mounts for this reason

jubjub64 posted:Hey, I like that! And I think I have some well sized magnets around here somewhere... Here's a pic for anyone that might not have visualized how the Index facial interface works and how easily it can be dialed for their face. I think mine were 6x3mm, two on each upper mount. Might even throw another on it but 6mm was a big improvement on already good ergonomics. I don't have particularly high cheekbones, just found I needed to tilt it a bit fwd to get a better sweet spot which made it dig in. Seemed like many had the same discomfort for the same reason but it's easy to adjust.

Combat Pretzel posted:This upcoming HP headset... With the Index turning a year old very soon, what are the chances this is going to be a defacto successor? Successor perhaps or more likely an option to viably meet the demand for a premium experience but unless something else comes along I suppose that's what it will end up being if it out-specs Index. P cool to see HP, Valve and MS colab to make it a good experience. Reverb's res with Valve's optics and BMR headphones along with better controllers and a streamlined Steam/WMR experience in a lightweight hmd at a reasonable pricepoint by a company that is an experienced manufacturer would own bones

Taintrunner posted:Using the Touch controllers to try and pilot a vehicle, especially in a simulation when you need precise handling, is really loving frustrating. This. It's totally worth investing in a HOTAS and setting up a pit of some sorts for VR. Same with simracing. That said, there are a few nifty mods using those magnet/ball things for mounting cell phones for the hand controllers to give you some degree of kinematics so poo poo like No Man's Sky or VTOL VR can be flown with some level of ease and precision. There's ones on etsy, Protube makes a predictably overpriced one and variations on thingieverse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MKi2W2H_JY   https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/comments/ets1hc/index_controller_magnetic_release_flight_stick/

chaosapiant posted:What’s a good racing sim in VR? Is Project Cars worth trying? Project Cars 2 is ok and gets a lot of unwarranted hate, Dirt Rally 2.0 is amazing though. Automobilista2 just came out using same engine as PC2 but physics of AMS1... early access but already shaping up to be pretty kickass and currently cheap. Assetto Corsa is cool and good though VR menus suck rear end since vr was haphazardly bolted on but there's tons of free car/track/location mods and the game itself is really good especially considering the price. Tip posted:I'm guessing you mean Dirt Rally 2, right? 980ti might be a bit rough but you can always return it if you don't spend too long figuring it out.

EbolaIvory posted:Dude what? 980ti is fine for like heaps of content if not all of it. Was talking about DR2 in particular. A 980ti will run it but might be a bit rough, depending on your hmd I suppose. I have an Index and a 2080 and pretty much get 60 (running 120 hz) with med/high settings and some tweaks to nvidia control panel though my processor is kinda old. PC2 also takes a fair amount of horsepower to push this many pixels too for that matter. Should have included headset caveats though since most people still have Rift or Rift like loads which are like 60% of Index
