/vrgg/ - Virtual Reality Gaming General #20

>>392003827
ty, webm not mine but was in last thread and the game looks very comfy

it's Friday, what fun VR activites are you planning for today?

>>392005758
i will try to find some more potatoes and tomatoes
so that we can make armor potions for the trials

I want to add a gigantic cock onto the arena map of B&S. Is this possible?

>>392005758
my younger brother wants to try my headset, i'm worried he will break it somehow.
maby i'll let him play the superhot vr demo.

>>392007070
just show him that rollercoaster demo, that's what I always show first when someone wants to try VR
in 95% of cases they immediately get sick and will never want to try VR again
make sure you turn all the helmet options off for maximum motion sickness

>>392007070
check the Introductory Demos section in the games recommendation link
>https://rentry.org/5kbbe

>>392007513
maybe the lab is a better idea lower chance to break something.

>>392007412
what is it called?

>>392008316
Epic Roller Coasters
demo has 4 free rides

>>392005758
It is public server Pavlov day!

*coughs*

>>392005758

got a VR mode so I'm going to become a wombat. The game's CD keys only being $5 helps.

>>392019838
>got a VR mode so I'm going to become a wombat.
is that like a sexual thing?

>Survios is working on a brand new single-player Aliens game for VR as well as traditional game systems.
WE ARE GOING HOME

>>392020219
Survios games haven't been good for a while, or ever arguably. At least Alien Isolation can be played in VR.

>>392020219
>aliens in VR
Genuinely spooky...

>>392020609
there's a vr mod for Alien Isolation.

I know that I can buy or print protective covers for the green part of the image on Index controllers but I haven't seen any way to protect the outer half-ring. Something that covers it completely would probably block the sensors so I was thinking about buying these small silicone/rubber bumpers and stick them all over the shell (red ciricles). Would this be a good idea or is there a better way? I don't have a habit of mashing my controllers against the wall but I want to have something just in case I have an accident.

>>392031646
forgot image

>>392020019
You can engage in wombat combat, but in VR.

i got upgraded kiwi elite strap and i must say that its very good, not as good as many people are saying, but still very good
imo the best part about that strap is option to lift quest 2 without taking it off, without it i would probably return it lel
oh and now i cant fit quest 2 with strap to my chink case, i have remove it and then it will go

>get off work at 4
>yeah bro it's Friday!
>I'm gonna catch up on all these VR games let's gooo
>browse 4chan and watch youtube videos until 11 PM
>ok I'm now ready to play for 40 minutes and go to bed

What mental illness is this?

>>392043578
depression and ADHD
don't think just boot up something

>>392043578
Probably ADHD. I do exactly the same.

I wish more games would do audio like Alyx did, it's such a little underrated detail

>>392043930
>>392043935
You guys really think it could be adhd? I've been having trouble at work too.

>>392031890
seems like a decent idea. you can look at teardowns of the controller to see where the actual sensors are under the plastic, they're not that big. I don't know how much shock those little rubber bumpers would actually absorb up to the point that the entire ring snaps off, but in any case it wouldn't hurt.

>>392048131
i'm fairly sure procrastination is a common problem. you could also simply not have the energy to take on vidya, or not feel like it for some other reason, or maybe you're just not all that interested.

can't guarantee cause i have unironic diagnosed adhd, kek. had to spend my entire life on learning how to get shit done and it's still not easy sometimes. but whatever, one way or another, i feel like the solution to your problem is probably putting honest and serious effort into taking on activities you want to take. i know the idea of "putting effort into starting a game" sounds dumb, but this is how it is, it seems like the situation demands it

>>392048880
I think they would mostly be for protecting against scrapes since my walls are hard concrete.

>>392049150
I mean yeah I do have to force myself to play.

>>392049382
you could put the rubber dots on your walls instead. or hang up bubble wrap.

>>392046548
Well done spatial audio adds so damn much to the experience with roomscale games you can move around in, it's an underrated aspect in VR games.

So guys. I'm the dude that kept being butthurt and complaining about my performance in AC (big maps like SRP and LAC specifically) and DR2 with a G2 and a 5800x/6900xt. For AC I had to run at 60hz, 80% SS, and AMD FSR on balanced and I'd still get some frame drops. For DR2 I ran 80% SS, medium settings, quality FSR, with frame drops. Now I'm bypassing Steam VR, and running OpenComposite (OpenXR) + the OpenXR toolkit. Both games at 100% SS, which makes them look way better, FSR for AC at ultra (in CM, which I don't know if it works if you use OpenXR, since that's where you turn FSR on when using opencomposite), no FSR for DR2, and settings at high. Both games run at 60 fps, while looking way better, and I haven't noticed frame drops yet. You lose the convenience of Steam VR features like fpsVR, the menu that lets you reset view, and some other things, but fuck that. This is literally a game changer. DR2 no longer looks like a piss stain. If I play with the settings I can probably run at 90hz too. I haven't tried recording gameplay yet, but it probably works somehow.

I think this should be in the OP. Like I can't believe how much of a performance goblin Steam VR is. You just need these two hoes below and it's super easy to install and switch back if you want to.

What game is this?

>>392064105
Is there a performance boost if you use an Index or a Vive? What about something like the Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop which goes through Steam VR by default?

>>392074581
I don't know but for WMR it works great.

>>392074581
>Index or Vive
No, because they interface with SteamVR natively, but with a Quest 2, yes. The performance overhead and issues are caused by needing to run through compositors in order to match the SteamVR platform, as most headsets nowadays have their own software they use. Oculus is the most notable example of this as they had their own shit for a long time. To explain it in the most simple terms, even though this isn't quite accurate, think of it like emulating something, it's a drain on resources. The reverse applies if you're using SteamVR to run Oculus native games via Revive.

This is why OpenXR is becoming such a pushed thing because every headset can set itself as the openXR runtime and bypass SteamVR entirely, even if you're running the game via steam. It's not exactly Valve's fault here, just OpenVR being a much more proprietary standard where each company has far more of their own special mix of runtimes, more or less. It's why compatibility from some real old VR games can be a huge headache if not running on a Vive or Oculus HMD.

Ok, grenades in ITR seem pretty damn good actually lol

Or maybe I'm just lucky
Either way feelsgoodman

>>392075781
I see. So Virtual Desktop is the same as Airlink or link in that case? I thought that VD was native SteamVR.

>>392075892
I find throwing them really hard with the vive controls. Always carry one on me in case I need to pop it around a corner or down a pit though.

>>392076386
It's the same. For some reason, one can perform better than the other for some people, but it won't change the core problem of being on an Oculus HMD and having the resources from it being sucked up.

Hello, I have never posted to /VG/ before. I want to play Pavlov. Do any of you play?

not ever going to touch it.
>>392079229
I'm gonna jump into the vrmassive server soon because the regular vrg ones aren't coming up tonight.

>>392081275
>>THAT unity asset pack
Dev seems like a fucking retard. Either he's trying to bait people into buying (well it didn't work) either he's really fucking retarded because he said he wanted to release the game now but there will be an update in a week or two to the graphics.
I'll just wait and see, eventually pirate it. This fucker is either a scammer or an idiot, just can't tell yet

>>392080323

Yep, he's retarded

If you don't mind PvE, I'm going to host an impromtou lobby of zombies https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2755515831&searchtext= in ~15 minutes or so. I'll post the pin to the thread once it's up

I've never played these new cod zombies maps, hopefully they work well enough.

>>392082863
ok, the lobby is up, i think i did it right

pavlov zombies
host: hiina
pass: 1984

>>392080323
I'd never buy a game that uses soulless poly assets but I did try the demo at the next fest before last. It was a complete waste of time and seemed like irredeemable trash to me.

>>392075892
I really need to practice my throws, or stop trying to throw shit around a corner. More often than not I just ping it off the wall in front of me and get rekt

>>392075781
>No, because they interface with SteamVR natively,
Performance actually CAN be better, because SteamVR is a buggy garbage. It is indeed also the driver for index, but I wouldn't be surprised if the driver is also mess. I don't think it is possible to bypass SteamVR on windows if you use index, but for linux there is Monado.
Someone really needs to test "OpenXR game through SteamVR" against "OpenXR game through Monado" and compare performance, just so we can see the absolute state of steamvr.

Damn man vrmassive is actually comfy as fuck what the hell.

post yfw the first time you heard "Is Max coming out to play?"

>>392084034
Quality Pavlovin'. The weapon gacha is wild with all the modded guns it has. I am not sure if quick reload actually does anything in VR however. This could be serious ludo with a full eight people.

>>392094715
>I am not sure if quick reload actually does anything in VR however
What Speed Cola does in VR is that it automatically ejects your magazine when you grab a new one from your pouch and auto racks the gun when you put the mag in. It totally changes the game for some weapons with how fast you can reload then.

>>392084034
>>392094715
>Tfw missed out on the zombies
Looks fun at fuck. Just a word of warning that trying to go beyond 4 people on most maps is begging for complete and utter chaos unless the map is open and built for it, like Lammy's. Most of them are too claustriphobic to easily play with many people at once.

It's fun chaos, but it's chaos.

And that's how I started my journey learning sign language and got a shit tonne more use out of VR than any other game.

wrong thread

right thread, wrong post

>>392064105
This is your life on AMD GPUs

>>392069837
it's gotta be some sort of shitty demo, I doubt there's a full game out there.

>>392110521
It's your life on a 3090 with a G2 as well.

2 days until new Valve game revealed

You have my word on that

>>392123005
>JUST TWO MORE WEEKS SIR
yeah right

>>392123005
fr fr no cap

>>392123005
So they'll reveal the new VR headset alongside it too?

>>392126046
yes sir

Thinking of doing some Pistol & Bolt action only S&D tomorrow at 18 UTC.
Should I keep the deagle/revolver in or remove them? To give an initiative to use bolt actions like the hunting rifle instead?

Is the Chao Avatar place gone?
The one with the flying Chaos

>>392130584
remove them

>>392130584
Remove them and add the pump

>>392132045
>>392133106
Ok, I remove them, pump would be too OP if up against pistols/bolt actions imo.

Guys I don't want to move to Finland...

>>392136506
Are you sure? 13 degrees C here.

>>392130584
pistol always wins tho

>>392137821
You should be able to buy both pistol and bolt action most rounds anyway.

>>392110521
Next gen will AMD stand a chance to NVIDIA?

>>392130584
I think pistols would be too strong against bolt actions desu.

>>392138686
yes, but it will be litterally pistol only, because rifles will just loose immediately at low range and low reload speed.

>>392144683
>>392149870
Then don't buy bolt action anon.

>>392144481
With flat games things are comparable. With VR I doubt that things will change.

>base station has blinking red light
how common is this? i got my index in december. I already sent a message to steam support and they will be sending me a new one

>>392110521
Whats wrong with AMD GPUs for VR?

>>392166124
Very unstable frame rates.

>>392166231
So I fucked up by buying a RT 6600xt?

>>392166419
I had a 6900 XT and it was terrible, so probably. Maybe there was something wrong with that model, or even that specific unit, but it was even worse than using the GTX 1080 it replaced. Every game would stutter constantly and have low frame rates.

>>392166785
Really?
So far, on my 6600, Into The Radius, Skyrim, H3VR, and Boneworks all run good

>>392130584
Pistols are too good to allow them in a game mode with bolt actions being a focus. You can easily two tap heads and even miss a few shots with a pistol before you can shoot twice with a bolt action just because they're semiautomatic. Other anon's idea of shotguns would be neat though. Shottysnipes in pavlov.

>>392167513
It depends on the game and headset you are using I guess. The lower speed vram (GDDR6 vs. GDDR6X on the Nvidia cards) will bottleneck things if you supersample a lot. Wireless encoding can be worse too if you use Airlink on the Quest 2.

>>392176397
>amd is shit
>works for me
>b-but it depends on games
fuck off jewvidia shill

im forced to use quest two as my main monitor until monday and i must say its too good desu
if only battery wasnt so shitty or if there was option to bypass battery so it would work just with usb cable without charging battery i could actually use quest 2 as monitor
considering i almost paid the same price for new monitor (270€ for Gigabyte M27Q) quest two is insane deal and with it being wireless, its just gets too fucking comfy when you can just go to your bad with it, i really dont get why so many people are ignoring the fact that you can do so much more with it then just playing stupid vr forever beta 'games'
and the best part, 0 eye fatigue because of depth, easy 10/10
the worst two parts, as i mention early battery and weight, even with kiwi strap i still feel that toster weight

Test. Making this post in VR.

>>392178804
Can confirm AMD is trash. I have a 6900xt.

>>392169957
Pistols are the focus, bolt actions are a choice, and for long distances, bolt actions trump pistols.

>>392182251
>for long distances
They don't. Sheer number of bullets means accuracy doesn't matter.

>>392182639
WWII servers disagree.

>>392183846
The ww2 pistols are garbage though. 5-7 and deag are unironically high tier weapons.

>>392184531
There will be no deagle, replaced by bolt actions.
5-7 will be the high tier pistol.

>>392184752
Also, AWP and 50cal are bolt actions.

>>392026348
Pretty horrifying

>>392181814
how do you avoid the headset making a V imprint on your nose?

ugh

>>392192241
lol, lmao even

what's a good interactive vr game
all the shit i've seen is like static scenes

>>392197502
Boneworks? Alyx? B&S? Not sure what exactly are you expecting. More predefined interactions, or more freedom in how are you using things?

>>392197875
damn
i was supposed to ask for interactive vr porn games lmao
already got all the good normal games

>>392198119
Nothing, really. I guess this:
https://ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/7518

>>392198119
i guess b&s recommendation still stands

>>392198119
Virt-A-Mate, HeatVR, Captain Hardcore, VRChat, NeosVR
Those are your options.

>>392199365
*besides the smallest demos not even worth mentioning

>>392199365
I guess FarmD is worth a mention as well

I wish I knew of a better way to record DR2. This looks like shit.

>>392200743
record steamVR preview window rather than game itself

>>392201908
I'm not using SteamVR anymore.

>>392203045
Oculus also has its own preview, although it's hidden and my information may be outdated. Google for it, it's some exec deep in oculus software folders.

>>392206903
I'm on a WMRboi using opencomposite.

anyone else run into an issue with ITR and can only use items with the right trigger?

>>392200743
I like Nvidia Shadowplay for recording myself. OBS's VR plug-in works too.

>>392207696
shit, thoughts and prayers then. the biggest issue with >>392201908 is aspect raidou, so if you'll squeeze it horizontally a bit in whatever you use to prepare videos for webm, it should be fine. i think ffmpeg will squeeze it if you'll just specify a resolution, so -vf scale 1000:600 or something could work

>>392200743
crop?

>>392192241
All I can hear is chu-ching chu-ching with the cost of those missed shots.

>>392207696
There used to be a preview built into the WMR app, it was a little triangle button and you could set OBS or whatever you use to record that window instead of the game.

>>392198119
Skyrim is fun.

good night /vrgg/
perhaps i'll try to get skyrim going tomorrow

>>392232974
Good plan. Fun times await https://files.catbox.moe/u8vl5u.mp4

>>392234192
wtf, since when is this a thing?

>>392232974
skyrim is good definitely play it

Think im going to give up trying to play fallout 4 vr, try to keep the mods as basic but i still get crashing.

Gonna host Pavlov today at 18UTC, Pistol and Bolt actions only(sans deagle/revolver) S&D.
More info to come later, but running the classic maps from Gem server Pavlov.

>>392099774
>It's someone doing some signing with OSC for STT
What did you even say here, I don't get it

Why would you speech-to-text to OSC avatar animations that make signs, or seriously, what am I even reading, I don't understand

>>392247717
They were signing, and then also using Speech to Text.

>>392247548
Pity we can't have WWII rifles as well.

>>392188785
>V imprint on your nose
i never had it, maybe because setup 3 for lens on quest 2 is good for me

about to try get into VR here. is the Quest 2 just absolutely insane value for money or is there something wrong with it? it's so much cheaper than everything else but doesn't seem like it has horrible specs either

>>392255093
unless you set up airlink or buy a cable to connect to a pc, you'll be severely limited in what you can do with the headset

you'll also be stuck in meta's ecosystem regardless, enjoy that eating more of your overhead alongside steamvr

inside-out tracking isn't great, when i was using a q2 my hands flying off into the distance at inopportune moments was commonplace
it's also a little more of a hassle to upgrade compared to a headset with base stations if you ever wanted to try different controllers or get trackers for full body tracking
those are the biggest things that immediately come to mind

>>392255093
You have to sell your soul to Facebook and their walled garden, the controllers are tracked by the headset so it has blindspots, even wired PCVR games are compressed, the stock strap and faceplate are bad, the speakers and mic are bad. For $300 it's still a very good deal, however.

>>392255093
It's insane value for money, everyone universally agrees on that. People hate it for facebook bits, iand overall and obviously it's a budget device without frills, but for $300 it's an absolute steal.

>>392255093
It's like a console, cheap and good enough but it drags people into its ecosystem. Meta has invested hard in VR expecting a return when "the metaverse" becomes a thing, zuck's vision is to be the foundation of the metaverse.

>>392210136
Has the OBS VR plug in been updated recently? Last time I tried it an year ago it was kind of ass.

>>392216831
It's already cropped.

>>392217057
Am I not already using that since I'm bypassing steamvr?

>>392255093
dont listen to retards like this one >>392255427
quest 2 is the best vr headset for the money you can buy
fb account is already gone, yes they are still spying on you but who gives a fuck
imo the worst part is limited tracking, but i will take it every time than drilling fucking lighhouses that will 100% break and you dont even need that tracking unless you wanna fuck in vr tranny
being able to use quest 2 anywhere you want, WIRELESS is the best, you can go with it to you bed for max /comfy/ and watch/play vidya or whathever the fuck you want from your pc, nothing beats setting up screen as big as you want in position that you want

i really love how retards here are always seething about quest 2, because they got fucked by fat fuck and thing their overpriced shit is better
>muh ecosystem
>muh metaverse
>muh account
>muh mobile shit that stops 'real' gayms

>>392255093
Quest 2 is the best value headset on the market by a mile. The catch is that Zuck gets some of your usage data, it previously required a Facebook account and your options for tranny trackers are limited.

>>392198119
vr tranny
>>>/v/605995226

to be honest, blindly hating meta is better than blindly loving them

>>392264171
i don' think anyone blindly loves meta here, anons range from "i'd rather pay $1000 and stay away from it" to "whatever, it runs same steamvr games anyway"

has anyone even tried core facebook stuff in here?

>>392255093
This guy brings up base stations:

>>392262821

I want to add that the tracking with a Quest, when it comes to drawing or something in the air, is complete ass. And you don't have to drill base stations in, you can use tripod stands that are specifically designed for VR base stations. I use 2 of these tripods for my set-up, and they work fine.

Get a Quest, I guess, if you don't care too much about drawing in VR. The base station tracking will always be superior for drawing in VR, and just precision tracking in general. This is the one thing about the Quest that is seriously bad, and questies in VRChat tend to complain about it or bring up how much better my handwriting is. Then I sometimes explain to them why.

>>392264171
i really dont understand why people really fucking hate zuck
desu i respect him for what he is doing, i dont think anyone else would burn this much money on fucking vr meme and deliver headset as good as quest 2 for that price with this hardware/software

>>392264325
>i don' think anyone blindly loves meta here
Contrarianism is the strongest force on this website, you'd be surprised.

>>392264639
>The base station tracking will always be superior
it will always be superior for everything, quest 2 tracking is very simplified and 'just werks' which makes it good enough for what it is

>>392264997
>already really hot outside
>G2 itself gets really hot in general
>playing DR2 is a workout AND a tryhard game so you get super sweaty
>PC running VR also probably raises the room temperature by a couple degrees

Can any single one of you dudes in here comprehend on how many levels of hot I am right now??????????

>>392264726
Cheap and decent VR is purely the means to an end, and the end is an obvious corporate dystopia, don't trust him for one second.

Didn't mean to quote you lil bro, I'm just that hot. Like I'm suffering. This is probably not even healthy. Is there any study showcasing the issues with emitting heat straight into your eyes and forehead? There has to be at least a few.

>>392265218
what wheel you have?
you could avoid all this shit if you would by decent fan, like xiaomi

Is there any way to add standing cameras to the Quest 2 when hooked to a PC?
I find I get some tracking loss when aiming a rifle because of the way inside out tracking works
>>392265218
do what we do in louisiana
get an air condition for your window, and turn that mother fucker up
it gets to literally 100f some days here with 90 FUCKING HUMDIITY

>>392264726
>desu i respect him for what he is doing
I don't, what he is doing actually sinister shit if you just think about it for a second.
VR has a lot of potential inside, just like the old internet had back in the day. It still has soul within, and zack just trying to be the first one to start extracting it and turning it into money/power.
Big corps already sucked the internet dry, it's exactly the reason why it sucks so much these days. And now they want to do the same to VR.
Zack is not doing what he is doing out of kindness of his heart. It's an investment. Plain and simple.

>>392265374
I have an alpha mini, but what does a wheel have to do with sweaty balls? It doesn't get hot. Also, xiaomi make fans? I'll get a fan, but I don't think a fan will help either, because the faggot G2 is literally a face sauna. Like you don't understand.

>>392265420
I've been considering buying AC for years, and I always tell myself it's not worth it, because I'm probably gonna move soon, yet I haven't moved in like 5 years. I could have had AC.

>>392265578
You can always bring it with you to your new place, and theyre not that expensive. They range from 150-700, but a cheap wont isnt that bad, I mean it still blows cold air, right?
go for it bro, this global warming heat aint natural.

>>392265496
interent sucks now because of mobile phones, just look at this shithole with all those retarded phoneposters
>kindness of his heart. It's an investment

Nah we don't have those window ACs in yurop. The way they install ACs in here make it a commitment basically. There's a unit outside your window attached to the wall, then there's the actual AC on the inside that blows cold air towards your ballsack. Honestly it's not even that expensive, it's just that my living situation is kind of wack at the moment. I don't wanna buy it.

>>392265868
>google it
>there are literally 20 minute reviews on it

Is there anything special about it what the fuck? Do fans even help for VR though? I mean fans just circulate the already hot air and give you arthritis. Not sure. You guys in here play with a fan on?

>>392266127
Get a portable unit. Not window unit, just one of those cheapo ones that have a single hose you throw outside the window. Not as efficient as splits, loud, but they come with zero commitment and they make your room cool.

>>392266127
aww cmon theres gotta be a way to get one of those window AC's man
either way, god speed euro bro. thats why we americans are so fat, we dont sweat all that fat off, we just blow cold air on our nutsack and let the fat sit

What would you rather anon
>72Hz steady
>120Hz with it ASW'ing to 60fps half the time
I'm in a dilemma and cant decide which I rather

>>392266681
depends on a game, really. some games handle the switch well, some are pretty horrible at it. most of the times, i'd go for 120hz with occasional reprojection moments

>>392266815
Mainly playing Into The Radius right now, and in areas like The Factory, I get bad reprojection
But in most other areas, its alright

I've personally never had an issue with hands flying off like other anons have, and i also use lighthouse tracked stuff with it sometime so i can compare the tracking to the "gold standard" and I very very very rarely have issues of them drifting. There is a lot of technology and ML work behind it.

As for the facebook/meta part there is "oculess" I believe, however I don't bother and this is what I do instead (copy pasted from prev reply on this topic):
>q2 anon here, "removing facebook" isn't possible, but what you can do is prevent FB from ever seeing you again.
>Provided you got the free store credit from using a referral link (no reason not to, just use a randos link from r*ddit or whatever) and buy virtual desktop WITHIN THE HEADSET.
>After setting the headset up and downloading VD go into your rotuer firewall and block the mac address of the Q2 from sending or receiving packets from the internet.
>Bam, you have now blocked facebook from seeing any of your shit. This means you can't play online games within the headset, but who cares.

>>392266345
I've never seen those for sale here.

>>392266358
I'm fine with hit as well in general, that's why I've never considered AC or a fan even seriously. It's just that the faggot fucking headset is literally like the sun but on your face. I don't think any human being is man enough to tolerate that for more than an hour. I literally got dry mouth it makes my face that hot.

>>392266971
I also play at like midnight, which is supposed to be cooler. Don't some headsets have integrated fans? I wonder if I can mod this DOGSHIT garbage piece of TRASH item that is the G2 to have an integrated fan.

>>392269297

That's exactly where it goes, though it doesn't dangle, you buy a special cheapo side-open window seal and then you connect it to that.

amd definetly has shit encodeing so airlink is only viable on nvidia gpus. Also your idea of "runs good" could be skewed by the fact that you have very low expectations being an amd user lol. hardware wise amd is 1:1 comparable to nvidia or maybe even better but their shitty windows drivers leaves a lot of performance headroom especially in vr. I do hope things change as some triple a studios will have to optimize with rdna2 in mind for their hybrid games on psvr2

>shit encodeing so airlink is only viable on nvidia gpus
why are you lying? i use airlink and virtual desktop on 5700xt

>>392255093
Its a great headset with an even greater upcoming exclusive library. Its definitely a miss if you care at all about your privacy tho. There are some decent looking and well optimized standalone games That are very comparable to their pcvr ports. The headstrap seems to be the biggest catch for a lot of people so definitely spend a bit extra on a good third party headstrap and look into "FreeForAll" piracy or if you don't want to install some sketchy program just download games from a torrent site and sideload them.

>>392287608
To be fair Virtual Desktop encodes much better than Airlink as it uses XR2 features that Zucc didn't even bother to touch. Saying that Airlink has issues doesn't even matter when there isn't a reason to use it over Virtual Desktop in general.

>>392288975
>To be fair Virtual Desktop encodes much better than Airlink as it uses XR2 features
Decodes? Why would XR2 features matter here, decoding was never the problem?

>>392290373
VD handles the encoding on the PC side too. It's just better software. Airlink is half baked. For $20 it's entirely worth it.

>>392291128
I have a feeling that you are talking out of your ass.
>VD handles the encoding on the PC side too.
Still didn't explain what that has to do with XR2 features.

>>392291292
Because the video is encoded on the PC end with XR2's decoding in mind, rather than Zuccs implementation which doesn't take full advantage of the hardware.

>>392287337
Do you have any benchmarks to back your claim up? I'm genuinely curious as this the first I've heard of it.

>>392291563
You know, the stuff you are talking about is easily quantifiable. If you want to shill properly just create graphs and comparison screenshots.
It is much better than "mhhh, yeah, airlink bad, vd good, alright".

What am I in for bros? Is co-op any good?

You guys have any experience record through the WMR preview window? I did a few test recordings and it worked fine. Then I started recording sickass driving for real, and when I checked the fotty the WMR window had frozen on one frame the entire time.

>>392297234
I mostly record with OBS's VR plugin as you get a bigger view than the WMR window. It's never bugged out on me either. That way you can get any aspect ratio you want for a more true experience to what you see through the lens.

>>392299946
I tried it actually but it crashed on start-up. I've used it like an year ago and it worked but I couldn't get it working this time.

>>392291868
i really REALLY fucking cant stand that white background on airlink,
why the fuck they wont allow you to change it? and virtual desktop allows to setup screen how you want, you can just grab it and move it how you actually want, unlike fucking airlink and you dont see that stupid oculus store page with the same games, they never update it

anyway, anyone knows program for pcvr that can do just black void like virtual desktop? i dont wont any stupid rooms, just my black void

>>392300280
You might want to try updating both. The plugin is certainly not perfect. It has a memory leak if you launch OBS without VR running, but it is powerful. If I had made this webm now I would have at the very least recorded it square rather than going with 16:9. That and I would use VP9 now that 4chan supports it of course.

That guy is testing a tethered Vive Pro though, he's not testing wireless on a Quest 1 or 2.

you looked at a single benchmark on that site my boy. Literal chud behavior. Most of their points can be "le deboonked" just reading a bit further into the sources they give you themselves LOL

>>392302426
did you check the other link I posted?

>>392300663
OBS is updated. The plug hasn't been updated in 25 years as far as I can see on the github. It's the same version I had. I'd use VP9 too but I can't be assed writing code in cmd since the webm for retards is abandoned.

>>392302928

>>392303860
I've never seen anyone go through a wall in over 4 years of playing it, though.

>>392303762
That only covers the original Vive (wired) and Oculus Rift, nothing about Quest wireless performance.

yeah sure i will spend my whole day looking at stupid benchmarks for dropped frames you stupid fuck
you linked 10 benchmarks that shows there is almost no difference between jewvidia and amd
great fucking job
if you want to prove that amd is shit in vr PROVE IT OR SHUT THE FUCK UP

>>392303929
Today seemed really bad. Had noticed a bunch of jumping and kills through corners.
Usually it seemed fine when I was playing other times

>>392303813
I like https://github.com/ekisu/mpv-webm myself. You just open the video, go to the points you want to be in the webm, hit encode, and you are set. It has vp9 as an option.

I don't know what the fuck you guys are talking about, but I can confirm that AMD is garbage and I'll never fall for it again ever. As soon as the new nvidia cards are out and I can get one I'm switching.

>>392304213
>for mpv

But I use mpc though. Does this also have cropping and adding text like webm for retards?

>AMD IS GARBAGE BECAUSE ITS JUST IS OK?

prove it

>>392304758
Prove that it isn't garbage.

>>392304893
Just look at the benchmarks posted in the thread. Meanwhile I still haven't seen anything showing that Airlink or VD run worse which is my main worry.

>>392304758
Can't play Dragon's Dogma properly, because the drivers are dogshit for DX9 games. Recording anything is trash. Constant microstutters in everything. VR performance is awful. My 1660ti could play DD and record gameplay. There you go.

>>392304893
LMAO
>The RTX 2060 SUPER, the RX 5700 XT and the RTX 2070 SUPER are in approximately the same class when it comes to VR performance. The RX 5700 XT delivers higher unconstrained frames in 11 out of 12 games compared to the RTX 2060 SUPER but it only wins 2 games and ties one versus the RTX 2070 SUPER which is the fastest of the three cards we tested
HERE YOU STUPID FUCK
WHAT NOW WHERE IS YOUR JEWVIDIA GOD NOW HUH

>>392304628
No, I just crop and add text when I record with OBS in the first place. Actually, MPV does let you crop if you use the MPV easy crop script. You probably want something like Handbrake for functions like that.

>>392305357
I wish you guys would stop making 1080p size webms. Literally nobody needs that big of an image for a webm. 720p is literally perfect.

>>392305472

>>392305430
That game just werks on my Steam Deck with a steady 60fps even with the super cut down AMD chip it uses. It sounds like a CPU issue if anything.

>>392305906
no you are wrong, its because amd is just shit and its the worst you can get, only jewvidia works and amd cards are just awful

>>392305735
I LITERALLY have an AMD card and use it EVERY SINGLE DAY. Yes you should trust me.

>>392305906
I don't care about your shit deck. It's not a CPU issue. I still kept my 1660ti when I build this new PC and played DD before I was able to snipe a new GPU, since it was at the time when they just came out and were hard to get. I originally wanted a 3080 or some shit, but I didn't wanna wait and got the 6900xt. As soon as I put it on I was disappointed.

What are the must get H3VR mods right now? Any good Take and Hold maps that aren't just grey hallways like the default one while still functioning well with the AI?

>>392303993
>>392305227
Yeah I should've mentioned I honestly dk about quest 2 wireless performance explicitly but you can look into amd's encoding which yields worse image quality in both link and airlink idk about VD tho ive never used it. Either way my point stands about amd generally having worse vr perfomance. If native pcvr (pure unhindered performance straight into your headset from your gpu) favors nvidia than i'd imagine the same would be the case for airlink or VD

>>392306372
JM_Monolith_2 probably works best.

>>392306208
Im the anon who posted the benchmarks and I suggest you reflash your vbios. I have had glaring issues with the 5700 xt(black screens on startup, stutters in game, etc...)

amd cards should still be very competitive with nvidia when it comes to flatscreen. Your issues should be resolved with a vbios flash, if not, than return it and get something else.

>>392306989
Bitch where? Benchmarks on cards nobody fucking cares about, because VR is so demanding, people want 3090s, which is jewvidia's top card, and also confirmed better than AyyMD's top card? What about micro stutters and screen recording and playing Dragon's Dogma?

>>392307273
See
>>392307162

>>392307162
You missed the entire part with 2060 super having more consistent framerates. Also the 5700xt is supposed to be competing with the 2070s not 2060s

>>392307273
>3090s msrp $1,499
>6900xt msrp $999
no shit something that cost 50% more is a little bit better
>Also the 5700xt is supposed to be competing with the 2070s not 2060s
stop lying
5700xt cost the same as 2060s
performace wise, 5700xt is between 2060s and 2700s

>>392307226
>when it comes to flatscreen

I LITERALLY could not care less about flatscreen, like L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y. This is the VR thread. I only got a new GPU to play VR games. On flatscreen I only play HOMM3, Diablo 2, fighting games, and arcade games with MAME. Literally. My 1660ti could have played all of those with no issues. For VR AMD is trash.

>>392307162
Funny you link me to the website I showed you when they first started making G2 benchmarks using the new GPUs, and all of those coincidentally show that a 3080 is bettter than a 6900xt, not to mention a 3090.

>>392307226
Are you sure anon? I feel like I'll brick my card. I also have no weird issues. I'm pretty sure that's just how AMD cards work. Before my 1660ti I had an r9 290, another dogshit AMD card.

>>392307067
Not him, but I have expand on hover in 4Chanx turned on and it doesn't take up the whole screen.

>>392307778
Is this a literal bot? Trying to quote things I never said.

>>392302865
I think it would be better with just sawn off, hunting rifle, and AWM. Pistols are far too easy to use. Would be funnier to see shitty weapons in use.

>>392308083
That looks awful plus I don't use useless garbage like 4chanx, when they implemented all of the useful features directly to the website literal years ago.

It takes up most of the screen because I have 175% display scaling on.

>>392308305
Even when it's embedded as in the screenshot it doesn't fill the screen for me.

>>392308356
They LITERALLY show it is. You're just looking at irrelevant benchmarks for irrelevant old cards nobody cares about.

>>392308362
>175% display scaling on

What for?

>>392308852
Otherwise text is about 2 mm high.

>>392309161
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a high res screen? Are you on a 4k monitor or something?

>>392309441
It's 4k.

>>392309538
I can understand 1440 but 4k is such a fucking meme.

>>392309853
I don't really care about flat games, so it's outright better for desktop use.

>>392307778
>>392307901
Literally just sell the 6900xt second hand for a bit less than msrp and buy a 3080 for vr. I really do think that amd can be super competitive with nvidia considering that they're newer to the high end gpu market and drivers can take a bit to marinate. Look at intels entry with the a380: performs far worse than a fucking 1050ti. The hardware is there but drivers are gonna take their sweet time. VR is the cutting edge so of course nvidia is gonna be leading for now. But then again, we'll have to see if amd makes any interesting developments with rdna3 in regards to VR. That and also the fact that there's gonna be a whole lot of vr development on the ps5 which is PACKING an rdna2 gpu.

>>392310090
>Literally just sell the 6900xt second hand for a bit less than msrp and buy a 3080 for vr

No I will not. I will just wait a bit for the new cards to release. Didn't read the rest.

>>392310090
You may as well wait for the 4090 given that multiple leakers say that it is supposed to launch this year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9Bv52ZYp-E
Cryptofags are still reeling so the cards will certainly be easier to get

More devs need to use parallax textures in VR games. They look way sexier than flat textures in VR with minimal performance overhead.

>>392311886
>Vox Machinae for the new campaign mode
Is it actual missions or just arena fights?

>>392337851
Actual missions. You walk around on foot on a spaceship too between missions.

>>392337851
They're not particularly complex or challenging and mostly re-use existing content but there are a few unique segments. The story and characters are the focus which seems strange for a mech game but it's kinda soulful in a weird way, I ended up liking all of the Thunderbirds-esque characters by the end.

>>392339369
The animations will not ever not be funny to me. You are right about the missions. They aren't just mindless arena battles, but they certainly aren't as thrilling as pitched multiplayer fights. I am glad that they were put together into an actual campaign with actual characters at least which too few VR devs bother to do.

>>392340957
>I am glad that they were put together into an actual campaign with actual characters at least which too few VR devs bother to do.
Fucking this. Overall, my gripe with most VR games is that they feel cheap as fuck, like random pieces of gameplay stuck together and barely anything else.
Most of the time you just have an ugly as fuck painted on UI that ruins the immersion. Meanwhile this game is the definition of immersion and soul, just for this, i fucking love it.

And all of them run like absolute shit. His RDR2 is literally unplayable and gives you a headache because it uses a flawed rendering method just like VorpX used to do. It was nowhere near ideal but at least it was proof of concept. And I have a 3080ti. I can't even begin to imagine how the cyberpunk one runs.

Terrible grifter with boneheaded opinions making too much money from idiots on patreon. Many such cases.

>>392266957
I just go for 100% reprojection desu, im braindead enough to not really notice it except for when it toggles

so I got a quest 2 as a freebie, anything I should know before I sell my soul to the Zucc

Tried green hell VR for a few hours today. Pretty immersive asides from some of the inventory controls. Definitely worth checking out if you're into grindy survival crafting games

>>392358314
At that point I just prefer to play a game flat. I have a decent 175hz monitor with better colors than my VR headset, I rarely see the point in games without motion controls outside of some cockpit games. It doesn't help that alternate eye rendering in the ross mods looks so juddery.

>green hell VR
unity trash that runs like shit

>>392364078
Personally I'm waiting on multiplayer. That game will be miles ahead of The Forest once multiplayer is patched in. I also hope that the DLCs for the flat game get brought over as well.

>>392364207
works on my machine

>>392364462
"Works" doesn't mean "works well".
And opinions of low standard cretins who are fine with eating literal trash from the garbage don't really matter.

>>392364679
runs great on my machine. I'm sorry you can't enjoy it anon. Maybe it's time to upgrade your potato?

>>392364795
>runs great on my machine
It does not. We both know it.
>I-i just don't notice the framedips, tehe
Fuck off.
>It doesn't dip
Then you are fucking blind. Record the gameplay with framegraph visible.

>>392365083
you sound miserable. Even if I upload proof you're still going to cry about it.

>>392365268
I have low tolerance for trash.
>Even if I upload proof you're still going to cry about it.
Record the gameplay with framegraph visible on not completely terrible rendering resolution (lowering it wouldn't help much honestly, there are game programming issues).
While doing that you will see exactly how terrible that shit runs and we wouldn't need to have this discussion in the first place.

>>392361376
You won't need to use a Facebook account very soon so it might be worth waiting a week to set it up if you don't want to use that. Other than that make sure you get a third party head strap, the cloth one sucks. And you'll need either a cable or a battery to play PCVR. I recommend getting a battery and Virtual Desktop for PCVR but I also hear Air Link is okay and that's free.

Less than 10 hours till nothing.

>>392333420
No

blade and sorcery (mod) enjoyers, are we stuck waiting for butter stabs u11? or can you get the beta ver to work?
i also grabbed the improved bleeding and additional death animations.. any other suggestions?

>>392371227
oh nice, i just got a new vr headset. is the (good?) walking dead worth? any recommendations? i have hl alyx, master bladesmith and blade and sorcery.

>"i just got a new vr headset"
>He bought? Announce the deckard.

>>392350274
>>392351116
Funny thing is, vorpX actually has motion controls for Cyberpunk

>>392376018
>he purchased a new cable? Release it immediately!

>>392378061

>>392379336
Nobody seriously believes the "Deckard" is getting announced at this do they?

>>392379821
There's some basis of belief considering all the patent leaks that came out within the last month or so + the steamvr beta updates.

>>392379821
Gabe Newell will personally appear on stage wearing a wireless Deckard.

>Nobody seriously believes the "Deckard" is getting announced at this do they?

>>392380338
And he'll anounce Half Life 3 The Card Game + BCI Expansion and leave?

>>392381148
His controllers will immediately develop stick drift and they'll panic but then reveal it's intentional and show the new Deckard controllers!

Is there a way or a mod to fast travel back home? Literallt stopped playing after getting the Mission item and realized it's a 20 minute walk back.
Also, what are these things?

>>392382167
Weather stations. They exist just to be sold. Did you open the shortcut from by the train tracks? That takes you straight back to the base.

>15 minute walk
>Dubstep shit everywhere
>Look up guide to see what to do
>Can't see any artifact
>Say fuck it and walk 15 minutes back.
>>392382301
ok, Guess I sell it then,

What train tracks? Theres train track everywhere.

>>392382548
Oh you're still on the first map. The shortcut is on Bolotky Village. You have to use the detector to find artefacts.

>Get stuck in planks because >No jump
>Fall down and lose 70% of HP
>>392382748
Detector yes, that thing...

>>392350274
Speaking of patreons of video game modders, I'm on a 1$ per month to the guy making CM for AC. Does this dude really get what it says here he gets or is that just an estimate?

>>392389290
New valve?

>>392389951
Yes but no

>>392382167
There are alternate entry/exits that you can unlock once you find them.

>>392390104
What do you mean no?

>>392390716
It'll be nothing more than a repeat of the same sale we had during summer sale a few weeks back

>>392390906
They pushed back another Valve event for it, so probably not.

>>392390906
Summer sale on valve games and headsets and shit?

I've not given up yet, the Garry will deliver.
I believe...

>>392391346
That's Garry Newman.

What loadouts could be ran like we did Pistol/Bolt Action only?
Pump shotgun and pistols?

>>392393679
>attention criminals
>we took the guns of all non-criminals, for your convenience ;)
I'm not american, is this sign satire?

>>392393679
5-7 and tec9 were too dominant, they'll have the range advantage and are less RNG than the pump so I foresee it happening again. Personally I'd also like more than 1 primary weapon choice too.
Go with all the shotguns and limit pistols to Glock/Beretta/1911.

Don't know if Google Earth VR counts as a game, but I've been having some issues with it. It started just recently popping "cannot load next image" in street view, and it's really not an issue with my internet because nothing has changed on that department. I wonder if anyone else has encountered same thing and has some quick fix.

Tried fiddling with it and even reinstalled, nothing works. Street view is basically unusable as of now. It's kinda sad because the "game" was my designated relaxation shit.

>>392395435
I have the same Pistol/Bolt minus deagle/Revolver/50 cal, and gonna replace 5-7 and Tec9 with pump shotgun and sawn off.
Should be decent enough, and give the choice between pump or rifle for primary.
And avoid the dominant pistol meta of 5-7 & tec9.

>>392397034
It's also possible to nerf damage etc of guns, if someone has any good idea.
https://github.com/vankruptgames/BalancingTable
Just fork this to make your own, and you can also see wich stats can be changed etc.

>>392395541
I can't find anything about this "cannot load next image" error on google, is that the exact text? If you have a quest, you can try the quest version.

It's just going to be a sale...

>>392382548
>using the map indicator
you're doing yourself a disservice honestly, take that off and navigate by landmarks, much more immersive experience that way
but keep the other guiderails on like sleep to heal and tracers if you feel you need them
>>392382812
there's glitchy stairs there but you can walk over them in a certain spot
use the unstuck option in the pause menu if you get jammed up or if you happen to be glitched off a ledge or launched into the air

>>392403121
anon don't! You'll only end up being disappointed if you hype yourself too much!

>set left thumbstick deadzone to 100%
>it still drifts
Realistically, what are other options of locomotion? Both DIY and ready to use, within 100$ budget, but cheaper is better.

>>392403480
Change bindings so you use trackpad instead of joystick for movement.

>>392403480
Just order a new potentiometer and replace it.
Solderlets, when will they learn?

>damn it's almost time
>should be soon yeah?
>check anon's post >>392403121

I can't wait 2 hours man.

I wonder if gabe really will release informations about the deckard.

it'll be just like banjo kazooie 3

Ahh, imagine not living in Finland.

>>392399448
I'm playing on game journalist mode.

>>392403657
Yeah, meanwhile i will use right thumbstick for movement, but shit still sucks
>>392403818
I wish i was solderchad, but best i did it soldering wires of dead headphones(still replaced later as it didn't helped much)
My soldering kit also old, soviet times dated.

>>392405185

>>392405535
Oh, I see that you don't have the space heater aka rtx 3090 on all day. Shame.

>>392405409
>My soldering kit also old, soviet times dated.
They are not expensive, you can easily buy everything you need for soldering for like $40.
And $20 for parts.

>>392405741
Except I'm >>392265218 plus I also forgot to mention that the G2 requires you to have your light on for head tracking, which easily adds another degree of heat.

>>392405254

Is this clickbait? Game looks too good in the preview.

Is it possible to disable anticheat in Pavlov?(same way as disabling anticheat for online in Elden Ring works, by editing config file)

Vr is dead, no Valve news. Its over

>>392418324
i would if i could but i'm still waiting for 3060ti prices to drop and my current pc is shit and can't run pavlov

Should I buy this? It has multiplayer I guess we can play together? Also, why aren't there any rollercoaster VR games? I'm not talking about some VRC map or some shit like that. I want a game specifically designed for amusement park rides with hundreds of different scary and unrealistic rollercoasters. You can literally make a rollercoaster in a video game that goes through the clouds and then descends into a volcano or some shit. Hello?

fuck this, i'm going back to skyrim

>>392418553
Yes, kayak is unironically really good

I keep seeing this SENRAN KAGURA Peach Beach Splash
is it retarded in VR?
am I retarded for looking at it?
same question with Gal Gun 2
I've seen some anons mention it
I like rail shooters but the video didn't look very rail shootery?

>>392418991
>SENRAN KAGURA Peach Beach Splash

Is this game actually fun or am I being baited by anime tids? I mean it looks fun.

they still have time to announce it
r-right?

>>392418991
Senran Kagura is just the groping mode in VR. Not much to do. Gal Gun 2 on the other hand is the full damn 10+ hour game. It is a lot less railshooty than its predecessors. I'd say it's worth it.

>>392418553
The multiplayer isn't realtime though they do have it in their roadmap. It's time trial ghosts currently.

>>392415773
I feel bad for Valve fanboys, I really do. They are somewhere as delusional as Q anon cultists, but at least they are less obnoxious.

>>392418553
It's asynchronous multyplayer, you just get to race agains ghost boat replays from the leaderboard, real multiplayer is far away if ever.
There's already dozens of rollercoaster simulators, and that's only counting Steam
https://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=rollercoaster&vrsupport=402
What we really need in VR is a rollercoaster tycoon game.

>>392418553
I'm too retarded for this game

Fucking kikes.

>>392420501
I turn up the AC based on what game I'm playing. I always go for frigid temps in Skyrim and Ragnarock, but let things get toasty in Everslaught.

Would I even be able to play Kayak with a v1 G2? I highly doubt my controllers wont lose tracking when I paddle.

>>392420881
when you're kayaking irl, you're actually holding the paddle kinda in front of your face, at least initially. it's not necessarily impossible for it to work well. single paddles, if they're in game, are even easier to track as initially you're holding top of the paddle pretty much right in front of your field of view

I wish pavlov cs maps didnt make you feel so tiny. The scaling throws me off.

>>392421512
You're a manlet

>>392421512

>Gal Gun 2 ... I'd say it's worth it.

Is Pistol Whip replayable?
Any autist with 20+ hours in the thread?

>>392430730
it's a rhythm game, so if you like the music and visuals it's plenty replayable. I do that every few months, turn on deadeye mode so you actually have to aim or try the other modifiers.

>>392430730
Important thing to know, I don't think you can use custom songs in there, based on how they do the level building.

>>392432217
>They announced working on a level creato
Ohhh that would be awesome!

>>392415697
definitely buy it

After the Fall's 38% off, finally low enough I'm feeling tempted to nab it. Did they fix the awful lack of content since launch? Is grinding for weapon attachments still awful?

>>392434435
It's still six maps (Up from five)+the horde mode maps. The enemies and spawns in each map are randomized at least. They did actually address weapon attachments. There are no more duplicates, and doing nightmare doesn't make you lose your weapons anymore.

oh yeah! I like comedy!

>>392418553
>why aren't there any rollercoaster VR games?
Literally the first few games that came out for vr were rollercoaster games. They're not still made because it's just a movie and there's no inertia to throw you around and feel the coaster. The VRC map rollercoasters are the same on par if not better.

Anyone wanna Buy and Play Propagation Co-Op? It's free to play the single player, but Co-Op is 5€.

Gonna try the single player, and if it's good I'm gonna shill it more. Probably gonna host it thursday Payday time if anyone is interested.

>>392438398
I do, but I have a G2 so I can't.

>>392438398
isn't that the one with the giant spiders? sorry bro I would but that's too much for me.

>>392438398
2 player coop and from what i understand from reviews you can't move around?
is this like killing floor vr with spiders and none of the neon flashy lights and sisters of battle without the walking around?

Has anyone here had access to Vail yet? How does it compare to pavlov?

>>392415697
It goes on 30% off quite often so that's the best price you're gonna get probably ever. One of the better vr games and still in active development.

>>392439474
currently trying to get access as well. all the competitive esport shilling they do makes me cringe tho

>>392439225
I'm gonna try it single player tomorrow, if it's shit, I will not bother.
My bar is low, but not being able to move around is beneth that. Unless it's like a lightgun game.
If anyone have a co op game they wanna try, post about it and we might be able to set something up, if it's around 20-25€

It's a minigame really, even if kayak physics are pretty nice, but damn, you can actually break a sweat if you try some races

should be a vrchat world, with two-player kayaks for a fun coordination challenge, but i doubt vrc kayaks could feel this good

>>392409193
Maybe try uninstalling while also deleting all yhe leftover files. You could try grabbing an older version from some sketchy website, or even the rift versionand running it through something like ReVive.

>>392441626
I really can't imagine how playing this would feel without taping your controllers to a stick. Or is that what you're supposed to do? Is there map variety and are they big by the way? I'm not interested in racing. I just want to chill and explore, since the graphix look cool. I'm hoping for multiplayer too. Like nobody kayaks alone anyways. Imagine just chilling and talking to a friend, which I don't have, while playing this.

>>392444350
5 maps
You can glue your controller on stick, it's optional tho

anyone play demeo? i'd probably rather try it out with a group from here than take a chance with randoms

>>392443714
From what I've seen so far, it's exactly as little as you probably think it is. Kayaks kayaking around, and some time trials (with visible ghosts of other players) as a separate mode.

>>392444350
Controls don't feel bad at all imo, if anything my biggest weird-out is how overly responsive this kayak can get sometimes. As for stick, you can row at ridiculous cheaty speeds by holding your hands very close and making small circular motions, but then row physics get wonky and overall it doesn't seem beneficial compared to pretending there is weight and water resistance and moving in slower, but more fluid motions. There is lots of maps and I've only tried one so far (had one quick session), but it didn't seem particularly large, so I wouldn't expect much.

You're absolutely right, this game needs coop bad. Two kayaks, one kayak, whatever.

>>392445291
Can you slap the shit out of fish in the water? I saw some gameplay video and a cat fish swam under the kayak. I imagined picking it up like a pancake and yoinking it into a rock. Is it also hard to run? What are you playing it on?

>>392445234
demeo is a fun game. when it first released there wasn't enough content but with four dungeons, its shaping up to be a decent game. I'll play with you if you ever host.

I literally have a fan just to keep my balls cool. I hate summer.
No i'm not buying AC for 3 very hot days, yes i'm still gonna complain.

>>392446328
3080ti, so can't say much about performance. If i'd have to guess, I'd assume it'll work fine on lower-end configurations, as I'm getting full frames with no reprojection on ultra, and that's annoyingly rare in VR vidya regardless of the hardware.

Didn't got to try slapping fish.

Probably Pavlov because it's the only game I've ever played as part of a community and thus spent long enough to stop being completely terrible at it.

>>392445234
it's a really polished little dungeon crawler, I like it quite a bit, even though it was thin on content at first. I do wish it had custom map/mod support, but the devs are at least adding new stuff at a decent pace. I'd play with you sometime too.

>>392450048

Vivecraft. It's a VR port of Minecraft, but gives motion controls to a random sandbox without any boundaries and unlimited potential. Cave exploring in VR is the best

For more under-rated titles: Horizon Vanguard
An arcade shooter inspired by the 90s arcade games like Time Crisis and House of the Dead, really fun and difficult game that no one knows or plays, which is why I shill it

>>392450048
my favorite game this year so far is Last Clockwinder. fun puzzle automation game that actually makes use of motion controls in a unique way. It's kind of short so i guess pirate it if you don't think it's worth full price for a 5 hour game, but it's definitely worth playing regardless.

>>392436871
well, did you rike it?

>>392442456
I'll probably try to find an older version if cleaning all leftovers doesn't work, thanks for the suggestion. I have no idea why the program started shitting the bed so bad as of now.

>>392452797
I don't remember. I bought it because someone had made a YGO mod and I figured I could maybe play YGO with someone, but then I realized I have no friends and literally nobody cared about me and literally nobody in here would want to play, so I turned the game off before I was done checking the options menu.

>>392450048
Contractors. It's better a better Pavlov and plays closer to Call of Duty, socially too.

>>392460215
It is really that easy ? I know it was easy to fuck with amazon with putting random crap in the box and sending back the thing at some point, but lmao

>>392461019
It depends. I've had a lot of Amazon deliveries where they take a picture of the package in front of the door and address. Probably because people do exactly what he did.

>>392428054
well, i tried it. it's less frustrating in some ways than TTS but still really clunky. they basically just attached the pointer to the tip of your right controller and the right-click menu to the left, so you're one-handed, and then just mapped like 50% of the usual operations to various buttons. You can do the usual pinch-to-zoom gesture for world scale but for some stupid reason it doesn't apply until you release the grips, and it uses your playspace origin instead of head origin for turning so you can't predict where you'll end up. You can't hold a hand of cards, it's only on the special table holder.

Oh well, i didn't expect much. Continues to reinforce how much the UI polish matters in Demeo in my mind. Despite it not being a particularly deep dungeon crawler, it just feels so much better than trying to struggle through any game in TTS/P.

Is after the fall worth it if I dont have friends?

>>392461528
They took a pic of my box but I just told them I was at work when it arrived but I didn't see it at my house when I got there.
To be fair I have no cameras looking at my door so I was pretty confident doing it, they are not going to spend money investigating it since it was the first time it has happened in close to 8 years that I've been their costumer.

Stealing from daddy amazon memes aside, i currently have a quest 2. It is honestly already fucking amazing even with the compression and low fov/resolution.
But it definitely spoiled me with the absolute liberty it offers, no cable no nothing, just absolute fucking liberty.
But i'm still tempted to pick up a Vive Pro 2 for christmas, or something like that.

any interesting demos that came out with the vr fest

>>392463842
Don't. Unless you're already in the lighthouse ecosystem, wait and see what comes out if you're planning to buy all the way at Christmas. Project Cambria is likely to be out by then, Pimax is going to come out with two HMDs by then if you have a ludicrous(2000+) budget, with the 2400 one having literally fucking everything you could want, and we'll probably see some announcements by then or in early 2023. The Vive Pro 2+Controllers+Lighthouses is gonna run you around easily over 1000 bucks even if you grab some used at a discount. That's a high enough price range you should use the Q2 as a holdover for the next generation.

>>392463073
Host issue is still there but I've never seen one leave. Maps are short enough that they can usually stick around to the end.
It's crossplatform so lots of quest kids but I've had good luck finding people to play multiple maps with during mid/late EU evenings. You could always ask here too, I'm sure there are people who missed out on launch or don't have fully upgraded weapons yet.

>>392464226
Fair enough. Better keep my money for when something really nice will be out, you're right. Not like the Quest 2 isn't good enough for me right now. Cheers bro'

>>392463842
I thought the Quest 2 had one of the higher resolutions?

>>392464915
It has a pretty high resolution for the price, but it's not one of the highest anymore. And it's only really true for native Quest 2 games, if you play with any kind of link, you get a compressed signal that will sadly be worse.
The FOV really sucks tho

Still Enderal VR for me, one of the best WRPGs in recent years improved greatly by good VR mechanics thanks to modders. Nothing else in VR even comes close.

>>392441260
I like the tension. It encourages to push as a team and hold a bombsite instead of just 32p chaos

>>392461682
Dungeon crawlers are best played flat tbqh. You can't display all the information you need efficiently in VR, and it's not like CRPGs really benefit from VR anyways. Even if good CRPGs like Planescape Torment got a VR port it'd still be a chore to have to squint and read everything.

as soon as you finish it go right ahead and fire up the workshop to get some mods going, there's a huge amount of quality user created content

So what the fuck is with After the Fall and losing your guns? I've lost guns because I completed a stage, lost guns because of a failed mission, and lost a gun just from quitting a stage

What the hell is the consistency supposed to be? Is it supposed to be like this? Is it a bug? Really ruining the experience when I lost two maxed out guns a very helpful player gave me for reasons I cannot explain.

Is there really anything big to look forward to aside from PSVR2? I'm afraid Deckard Just Isn't gonna come around as soon as people would hope judging by how inconsistent valve has been with hardware releases. They just aren't good at thinking long term at all. They can't even plot down their own near future on a timeline since devs just pickup and drop projects constantly. The way I see it pcvr is gonna be stagnant for a good while with Sony and Meta just sweeping up exclusive ports of acclaimed triple A games with longer runtimes and generally higher quality (yes hitman 3 and a bunch of others didn't exactly pan out well but RE games proved that they can be the best vr "experiences" to be had)

Is it just me, or is After the Fall one of the most generic games ever?
I'm about 40 minutes in, and its just not that fun. Every now and then I get a small moment of "eh that was kinda cool" but thats it. It doesnt help that Ive been playing Alyx all day, and got incredibly spoiled.

Does the game get any better when you get more guns? Does it get more fun the more you play?
I have no friends to play with, and right now its looking like a 25$ refund, but I dont wanna jump the gun.

>>392484101
PSVR2 is the big one with games that actually have a budget. I'll definitely kneel and get one assuming that the launch is fine. I think that PCVR is largely done for outside of mods, and even those are inconsistent.

>>392441626

There needs to be a profit incentive for UDON coders to delve that well into the physics imo.

:sadge:

>>392480132
>>Ancient Dungeon
It's a pretty fun roguelite. That said after a couple of clears it got pretty tiresome to fight the same bosses over and over again.
>>Hellsplit: Arena
It's like Blade & Sorcery, but I like how you can't just solve encounters by chokeholding dudes. Sadly the game doesn't really let you set up fights. With dungeons and mods I think that B&S is just more interesting.
>>Buccaneers
Really lame unity asset flip. VR was secondary to this game.
>>Yuki
I like this one. The techno music and tight controls really help. That said it's another roguelite, and I feel like the game comes down to unlocking overpowered upgrades like powered drones and just steamrolling the game with them at that point. Enemies are too bullet spongey to practically finish off earlier on.
>>Green Hell
I like this one. It does physics based mechanics and survival mechanics very well from what little I played of it. The performance is pretty rough for me, but when the 4090 and the new Ryzens come out I'll try it again. They are adding multiplayer too which will be fun.
>>Warhammer 40k: Battle Sister
I don't like this game very much. The graphics are bad and there are very few enemies on screen at a time. Maybe pirate it if you really like 40K. I suffered through 40K Fire Warrior back in the day so I can sympathize if so.

>>392464503
If you fall for the wait meme you're making a mistake by the way. There's ALWAYS new headsets 'coming out'. They're always worse than what we already have. Get a quest 2, it's great for the money.

>>392491975
Already have a Quest 2 i said it in the previous post. I know about the whole waiting thing, but i think it's at least worth it to check out what new meme shit they will put out.

>Trigger on right controller breaks
>Have to play Mothergunship Forge with one hand until Valve fixes my shit
>It's actually not that bad

This game is well worth the $15 I paid for the CD key. I really like the roomscale dodging around and all the wacky combos you can get with building your guns, even constrained to one hand. That said the bosses are kind of lame and spongey compared to the much more frantic normal rooms.

>>392492256
Well that's fine, but you're gonna be like damn the index is still the best in 2025 and why is it now $1500

>>392492405
Speaking about that, is the index actually the better between it and the Vive Pro 2 ? Seems like the index doesn't have that big of a resolution but maybe i'm retarded.

>>392492575
The speakers are better, but the clarity is worse. I think that the Index is a more well rounded package that does cost less.

>>392492575
The vive pro 2 has worse everything else but the screen is great. But if you have a misshapen head, if your IPD is a off, if you wear the headset slightly wrong you won't see it. It gets hotter than the index, the FOV is worse than the index, the sound and comfort are worse than the index, and you still have to buy index controllers anyway else have vive dildos. It also costs more, has HTC support, and that many pixels are actually hard to drive, you might end up subsampling down just to get playable framerates.
That said it does look good.

>>392492821
The FOV is wider in my experience. It's the vertical FOV which is lower. It depends on whether you prefer width or height.

>>392492680
>>392492821
Fair enough. I mean as long as there isn't screendoor effect out the ass, i'd take it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or9ZO8omp4c
Watch this video before even thinking about buying Vive Pro 2.

Based as fuck bros, thanks for the answers. One last question that i couldn't find an easy answer to :
I know you need stations for the tracking. But like, i use my headset for flight sims at my desk, but also elsewhere in the middle of my room to play standing game. Can i have like 2 sets of different trackers for each type of VR gaming ?

>>392493567
No, one type only. Two lighthouses will cover both positions though

>>392493567
You need to be in view of of at least one base stations sadly. That said if your desk is in the same room as your normal playspace with the stations you should be good.

>>392493736
>>392493749
I spoke like a retard. I meant like 2 sets of 2 tracking stations. But as i understand it, it makes no difference if there is 2 or 4 for the headset. I think it will be tricky with only 2, but i'll see what i can manage with my setup. Thanks for your answers anyway.

>>392494136
well with that shape room you'd want to buy at least one more base station to cover the room

>>392461682
Maybe if https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaXXgRdfkHs actually comes out it would offer the definitive board game experience in VR.

i just got into the radius. pretty sick. im on the first priority mission that takes me to the next area..
how much ammo do you normally bring when you set out? im nearly empty and probably going to have to just sprint by things on the way out

>>392494459
typical loadout is four full mags for rifles, two for the pistol
and usually a couple boxes extra in the backpack
ammo is both lightweight and cheap, buy and carry more than you think you need

>>392494301
Yeah i think i could manage with 3 after looking a bit. Thanks dude

It hurts seeing something with so much potential squandered by lacking polish or variety. Feels like so many VR games are almost great but have a few key flaws which tank the experience

Tried Legendary Tales in hopes of a melee VR fix and it has a pretty nice base with the physics interactions and melee combat where's most games suck at it. But the complete lack of both enemy and environment variety is abysmal and tanks the experience. The Korean minmax grindfest means you have to pick one aspect to focus on or get fucked and if you wanna try something else make a whole new character and take an eternity to grind up again. Why's it so hard to find good melee combat focused games beyond B&S?

>>392490469
Hybrid games are apparently gonna be huge. Don't know how much this holds up but some bigshot cod leaker (RalphsValve) claims that mw2 is gonna have some sort of psvr2 mode. Idk about the credebility of these sorts of "leaks" since I haven't been following them until now but I guess something like this isn't entirely out of the question before Microsoft's deal is finalized.

>>392496795
>But the complete lack of both enemy and environment variety is abysmal and tanks the experience
Next update will add at very least 5 regular enemies+boss+old skellies and goblins will learn new weapons/magic
Variety should get better.

>>392507634
I saw that coming update and I'm actually very excited about that. If they deliver on everything promised and it has all those extra enemies and locations to fight in, then it may very well be worth the cost as that'll leave only the questionable RPG stat aspects.

For now, 35 bucks is laughable. I want the game to succeed though because there isn't too much like it, especially on the co-op front.

>>392501071
Looks interesting. Wonder if they'll ever move to making it like a vr dungeon keeper.

>>392521130
What I'll do is be happy it exists and since I was posting anonymously forget all about doubting it.

Harrington who left Valve in 2000 is disatsified with the current focus on VR/Handheld instead of flat gaming and are using bribes to manipulate the flat structure of Valve in favour of flat gaming. Making devs not work on non flat gaming.
Our man on the inside, wich I will not name, is currently trying to subvert this and go away from the flat structure.
Trust the plan.

Also, the Prism layer that was found in Steam VR leaks is Valves own flat to VR software, similar to VorpX.
