/vrgg/ - Virtual Reality Gaming General #48

>>420643025 (OP)
Q3 will be neat for having a higher decode throughput so wireless will look better but it still feels incremental.
I ended up placing a reservation for the bigscreen headset. US gets it before me so if it's a POS I'll just cancel before it ships.

>>420643354
I couldn't care less about face tracking, but no eye tracking seems dumb.
>bigscreen headset
That looks far to small to be good.

>>420643354
I'm actually very excited for what the next gen XR chip has to offer on the Q3.

>Tabor delayed by a week
You know I never asked about the PvE stuff in that game.

>the kemonigger killed the thread for 17 and a half hours

>>420643593
>far to small to be good.
What do you expect? Just by the stat sheet it doesn't seem that bad.

>>420648209
>FoV 90 x 93 degrees
For $1000 I expect a bit better than that.

>>420648586
It's about what the quest 2 is in reality, and that's my main headset so I'm not too upset with it.
Whatever the deckard is will not have the form factor of this, so in my mind whatever valve releases can't beat it in that department which is something I put stock into.

>>420649885
>It's about what the quest 2 is in reality,
you can actually increase the quest 2 FOV by getting a facial cover that lets your eyes get closer. I have a feeling that's what they did on the bigscreen.

>>420643025 (OP)
im not buying this unless its oled

>>420643025 (OP)
So should I decrease my headset resolution and use DLAA or keep it at max and use DLSS?

>>420644242
ive dindu nuffin

>>420643025 (OP)
Unless we get some worthwhile hardware leaks from Valve I'll be very tempted to get a Quest 3 if there's a bundle with the pro controllers.

>>420666116
That could be cool, but it sounds like the Quest 3 is gonna be a bit more expensive than the 2 so adding in the pro controllers as well is gonna make the price skyrocket.

>>420666520
They were testing the waters with surveys on SKU and bundle variations for VR products at some point but it's mostly wishful thinking on my part. Even when the Quest 2 was being subsidized they were still making good margins on the touch controllers so they'll probably stick with them.

>/vrgg/ dies
>/vrfg/ appears
gondor has fallen
you were the last hope

>>420643025 (OP)
I thought you were gone for good this time!

>>420670385
With the alternative thread being populated by the most repulsive scum earth has to offer, this thread is always going to pop up eventually and be bumped if people are not occupied with playing vr games

>>420669019
What the fuck is /vrfg/?

>>420671953
furries

>Into the Radius adding MSAA
Finally. Fuck TAA, it blurs everything so much it's like your character is nearsighted.

>>420674328
using CAS for everything solved all my blur problelms
vrperfkit has it for openvr and new version of openxr toolkit has it for openxr

>>420674328
But will it run on a 4090?

Anyone try Humanity? How's the VR support?

playing saints and sinners

>>420686080
How was the post-launch Aftershocks stuff? I think I tried playing it again but some patch broke index controller bindings and I couldn't be bothered to try and fix it.

>>420687610
idk didnt play it
didnt even finish main game last time

The Meta Quest Pro price drop will take effect March 5 in the US and Canada and March 15 in all other countries where Meta Quest Pro is supported.

>>420692050
not a gaming headset

>>420643354
Same. I'm not at all interested in standalone when the games look like ass. I may as well get a small and light VR headset taking advantage of there not being a phone attached to the thing.

Will there ever be a headset good enough to replace my rift s without spending over 1k?

>>420698221
Arguably there are a bunch out right now.

>>420698221
the index

Have a bump nerds.

Necromancer with the Ordinator mod has to be one of the most boring things in Skyrim VR
a few hours in and I was able to summon an entire army at next to no cost
I got tired of sitting back and watching them kill everything and made a new unarmed build. Carrying around a giant platter to whack things with has to be the funniest thing ever.

>>420698221
I'm in the same position, the Rift S is still very tolerable for me but every now and then I really want higher FoV or to go wireless. I should have bought an Index years ago and now that we're moving closer to pancake lenses, smaller form factor and wireless being commonplace I can't justify buying one at full price. It was the controller issues that put me off more than anything, hearing from loads of people who needed to RMA multiple times or seeing them struggle ingame to grip/drop things made the knuckles look like an overpriced meme.

>>420692050
pro seems mighty tempting at 1k now

>>420674328
>>420674698
Talking of ITR does anyone know how to make the text more readable?
I keep squinting reflexively

>>420705765
its skyrim, modded. The base game is already unbalanced, mods make it not better.

>>420692050
Well time to upgrade and give the quest 2 away to somebody. This is excellent news.

Page 10

>>420679727
They said the demo only has Rift support, so I haven't tried it. The game is simple but fun for a Lemmings-like. I'm already tasting some challenge, especially with the user-created levels. I hope the VR mode doesn't have the jarring automatic camera movements.

I realized that it's only published by the same people as Rez Infinite and Tetris Effect, while the developer is different. That restores my hope for a Rez sequel.

>>420697441
The best scenario imo would be slightly larger for more fov and/or enough extra hardware for wireless, either in the front or back of the headset.
Hoping a nofio solution isn't as expensive as the index adapter, but that's wishful thinking.

Is H3VR fun to play ? The amount of guns and autism i appealing, but are the game modes enjoyable ?

>>420731297
Take and Hold is the only one I found fun for any significant amount of time. Lots of weapons suits the RNG. You should mod more maps and characters (spawnlists) in.
Shooting ranges are shooting ranges.
The zombie one is a campaign with a story but it's not exciting.
Wild west theme park is just minigames and walking around. Gets old very fast.
There's a horror one with a maze and 'puzzles'. Never bothered to complete it.
A Christmas arena has a few different modes, one is an alright wave defense with a tedious score mechanic.
TF2 mode. Some people seem to like this. It's an infinite team deathmatch, meh.

Probably another few shitty modes I forgot, unfortunately it's a disjointed collection of whatever the developer wanted to work on at the time.

>>420714675
the concept of creating an undead army and micromanaging them was pretty appealing to me, especially since I had some NSFW mods to make them bone anyone for teh lulz
unfortunately, your NPC summons get buffed along increasing the game difficulty, which means the only thing I had to watch out for is getting 1 shot by a random archer, and let me tell you, that is much more annoying than it is challenging

>>420739679
Gotcha thanks for the answer.

When is this fucking nigger Baha gonna release those fucking VTOL DLCs ? They better be fucking good too.

>Removed DLSS support as it doesn’t provide any actual performance benefit in VR most of the time, reducing both FPS and quality.
Are they serious

As someone with an old vive wanting to upgrade, what is the best way forward? 2k budget.

>>420752420
Bigscreen Beyond

>>420752005
What's the game which made this dumbfuck decision.

>>420753702
ItR new beta
I guess they just dropped support because of Quest build, it doesn't make any sense

>>420754125
Absolute retard developer. You take an image quality hit, but the FPS going down is bullshit.

>>420754125
What the fuck.

>>420752005
That's evil. Even as someone who doesn't upscale things, DLAA is miles better than TAA and runs better than other AA solutions.

>>420643025 (OP)
have there been any news on how much quest 3 will cost in EU?

>>420731297
I like shooting all the guns, but all the game modes are shit because the dev has no idea what fun is.
>>420766924
I think is the only thing we know so far is that it's gonna be more than the quest 2.

VTOL bump

Just look at those enemy models, I cannot, I am unable to. Lazy fucker, just make actual models for your fucking npc's. Unironically, the only reason why I dropped this game.

>>420782249
>want to use helicopters
>barely any servers for it and no one ever wants to be a copilot

>>420782571
VTOL VR...? I never noticed an issue with them.
>>420783420
>no one ever wants to be a copilot
Really? I thought that would be a big appeal; you get to do the fun part and none of the flying.

>>420782571
haha sausage ahha meats

>>420785697
into the radius

VR games devs are mostly fucking lazy bums who can't be arsed to make a proper UI and/or an actual good looking game because "muh performance"
Thankfully there's a few actual good games that shows that it is possible if you give half a fuck.

>>420783420
i never had a problem finding a copilot.
the only problom i have is that my mic doesn't work in VTOL for some reason.

>>420797621
Vox feels so good to play but I can't for the life of me understand why they won't give it better maps and gamemodes. All that effort and it's being held back by a tutorial campaign, barebones co-op and dead PvP. Just take the low hanging fruit and add a co-op wave defence mode with some added enemy variety. I wanna jump in and blow stuff up, not travel across the map or listen to the story.

Man Tetris Effect still instantly gives me a headache. I thought it was a framerate thing because the VR mode ran terribly on my last graphics card, but even at 144 FPS it's still pretty bad on some effects.

>>420806093
Weird, I guess it really depends on the person cause I've never had any trouble playing it on PSVR1

>>420790480
I feel the same way but the gunplay was good enough to keep me going. Stalker has multiple factions that are all distinct, and various mutants all with unique abilities. The most interesting thing ITR has is a black guy with a halo that teleports to you and then slaps you. If it werent a vr game it would be pretty mediocore.

>>420810394
There are some backgrounds that feel like they're constantly rotating, like Celebration. Dunno, maybe it's something I can get used to, but I also tend to stick with roomscale turning instead of smooth turning, so maybe I don't have that resistance built up.

>finally get around to installing SetParentVR mod and all its prereqs
>doesn't work
>apparently not just for me, bepinex5 issue reported on the dev's github
>no response for a month

>>420812109
>If it werent a vr game it would be pretty mediocore.
it sucks that ITR is one of the best VR games, but also what you said is completely true. AAA vr games when?

>>420821164
The last one was Medal of Honor. Nobody's funded one since.

How bad is the Index resolution? I'm getting sick of my Vive, and the Index works out pretty cheap if I resell the shittier newer lighthouses.

>>420825882
Reasonable enough as long as you don't have to read anything.

>>420821164
the games on psvr2 look high budget, but not enough to buy a ps5 and its headset.

>>420834043
I don't care about reading, but it'd be nice to see gun sights a little clearer. Can you hold the knuckles together like you're 2 handing a pistol, or do they just smash into each other?

>>420821164
Horizon Call of the Mountain is the most recent one. Maybe they will port it to PC like the original Horizon, but don't expect that to happen soon.

>>420840163
You can't teacup but you can hold it more or less properly. At least I hold it comfortably enough.

>>420840180
I seriously doubt that because their business model is clearly making money off of the hardware and not the software. They pay Capcom to add VR modes to their games at no extra charge so clearly they're trying to sell headsets.

vridya vrames

So what happened to Project Wingman's update that's been in the works for years?

>>420878707
PSVR2 version was leaked but other than that idk.

>>420881020
I sure hope it's coming with the update then. And I also hope the dev will optimize his shit if he's porting it to the console. Project Wingman is a fucking blast, but man is the optimization not good. The fucking resident evil VR mods run better.

Is there a way to do hip oriented locomotion without a tracker? I use SteamVR with my hips in a static position, always facing "forward". Can I make a virtual static tracker that just sits there in space and offload my movement to it?

Boomp

>>420890278
Bump with content next time.

>>420892147
Did they fix the two handed slowness yet

i reinstalled the game and mod just to take this screenshot.

>>420882474
>Is there a way to do hip oriented locomotion without a tracker?
There was a shit startup project that planned to create headset, failed, but before that they created software to hip tracking based on your phone position
You can look it up, can't recall it's name, something about shit

>>420895032
I rember the screetching that followed whenever you dared to call that headset anything else but the ultimate VR thing.
Damn that sure died down quick once they kind of vanished.

Is it true that the only good gaming is with valve external tracking?

is there a nsfw thread somewhere?

>>420895032
>bought a vive tracker
>it loses tracking when it's visually obscured by anything inbetween you and the stupid USB dongle
>meaning if you turn around and it's facing the other way and being blocked by your own body, your whole in game body spazzes out
One of the stupidest things I've ever spent money on

Why couldn't they make it work better

>>420896389
>Bluetooth
>pretty good, only weakness is metal and water
>your body is a huge sack of water
Never had that problem. But from the way you are describing it I'd assume you mean your and that you are so fat that you OVERobscure it.
Vive trackers are perfectly fine with being blocked by a normal humab body.
If you think you are not fat, try an active USB cable and put the dongles higher on the wall or ceiling.

I think I'll buy pico 4 as my first VR in the end...

>>420802289
>>420785697
Nvm I ended up playing for like 8 hours straight because apparently they've updated the ah94 a lot and people actually like it now

>did a mission where one objective was to clear out a city at 8000 feet above sea level, didn't realize this till I got there and died due to difficulty to maneuver
>retry with a lighter loadout including reduced fuel
>as i fly there with my copilot, a guy on radio says the place is a death trap and hypes it up as being really hard
>set SAS to full since it should help with manuevering a thigh altitudes, get there and me and my gunner proceed to clear out nearly the entire place before we got shot down
>guy on radio was like "how tf did you guys even manage to get on the other side of the city"
>go back and finish the area and move on
>continue doing the mission even though everyone else gave up and left, almost beat it but shit was hard and distances to fly to objectives were far as hell
>copilot ends up adding me on discord and says I'm a good pilot
Good times
I don't really even know anything about helicopters lmao

>>420897083
not the worst choice
will you invest in some slime trackers as well?

>>420896682
I'm in good shape and pretty thin actually

>>420897257
Bluetooth being blocked by your body is pretty normal and more or less the biggest flaw of the technology.
Put the dongles to a better place and it'll work out fine. If you put it directly on your PC, it'll cause interference as well. Get 20-30cm of cable and put it somewhere else.
I'm not super thin, but not fat and I also have no problems with the signal going "around me".
Sorry for assuming. Had low blood sugar.

>>420897163
for now I'll limit purchases to VR device, new wifi router(when I need movement) and a usb 3.0 link(when I need longer session)

>>420897725
don't forget something like a power bank for the pico!

>>420896335
there is the vrchat erp thread on /trash/, but other than that no. most vr porn games use the ugly goblin models that plague weg games. The only good vr porn games I know of are furry so unless you are into that you are out of luck.

>>420898284
>furry nta, but name some, maybe I'll open up a new world for myself

>>420898482
You probably haven't been around long if you haven't heard of Heat, then

>>420898482
Heat

You can use this search to find stuff I havent played. But there isnt much that is good.

>>420898731
Heat is by far the best nsfw vr game. Probably because all furries work in tech.

>>420898932
thanks

>>420898932
Is heat just for furries or does it have normal people in it too?

>>420903953
Just furries.

>>420896316
the only nearly flawless one, yes. everythinb else can't track anything the headset can't see; whih 9s like behind you or to your sides

>>420824126
God i played that, it was a terrible game

How do I get my pirated games into the steamVR menu? I used to have to go through desktop browsing and then click the exe.

>>420913291
When I put Skyrim VR's app manifests in steam library folder it showed up in my steam library, but I never tried launching it. Also most downloads don't provide them

>>420894065
No

>>420898932
>by far the best nsfw vr game
Out of what, 5 of them total, with one of them being the midna prototype?

>>420920449
There's midna in VR? Is it any good?

Not sure if it was this thread but I remember a guy making a mod for Koikatsu and one of the demo videos he showed was him FBT as one of the characters in that game.
Anyway that's all I have to add to this discussion.

>>420924717
It's incredibly not. Spawn her in VAM or Koikatsu instead or something.
>>420925246
That's cool but I wish fucking setparentvr worked in bepinex 5

>>420925614
How is koikatsu for VR? Can you use the studio and watch scenes and shit? Or are you just stuck with the shitty base game.

>>420925739
Never played the base game, but it seems like it's just base Free H and you watched canned animations. Probably a mod for VR for the rest of the game. There's also this, but it doesn't seem to work anymore https://github.com/MayouKurayami/KK_SetParentVR

>>420925739
There's Main Game VR mod which lets you play the story mode in VR, and there's a mod that lets you have studio VR.
Regardless SetParentVR is probably what you'd want to use.

>>420925739
The VR studio mod that is optional in the BetterRepack works okay. Complex scenes will quickly kill your FPS and trying to adjust anything while in VR is not easy.
I used to have a big folder of MMD dances/animations for the MMD plugin, it was better than waifusexsim or whatever that project turned into.

bump

>>420896316
The Quest Pro controllers have cameras built in and don't need external tracking.

>>420928414
I have fun using it to pose characters. It's much easier to use VR controllers than adjusting the gizmos individually. For most things I think that Koikatsu is better flat.

>>420783420
you just need a friend :^)

why arent there any car driving VR games where the tracks have more verticality to them aside from "distance" which is extremely unrealistic and arcade tier

While I'm waiting for my device to arrive, I've checked what VR games I already own, mostly from bundles, I hope I will have a good experience

>>420894065
Next Patch ™
Also includes fixes for vive controls not being able to eject mags and using grip for everything apparently so waitgang back at it again.
>>420946498
>vertical racing track
>realistic
Come on now. Your choices are distance, redout, ballisticNG, and that's pretty much it.

>>420947184
>tower unite
the VR experience on that is extremely alpha and barebones, it's not really a VR title yet.

Finally broke my finger hitting a wall, but controller survived. Are there any gimmicks to cushion instance of hitting walls and other hard objects?

>>420957108
not being a retard.
I would make it so the warning fence in steam vr apears sooner.

>>420957852
is there really nothing like a glove or something, I cant be the only retard hitting walls doors. windows and chairs

>>420958439
there are MMA gloves but you probably wont be able to use the controllers with them on.

>>420958808
Hoped there was something like those controller grips but with an extra that creates a shield between hand and potentially to hit hard surfaces. Might use the time I cant play to build one myself

>>420944071
I can't stand bullet sponge enemies in VR (excluding fantasy stuff). Just want them to go down like a real person.

why is the most popular wabbajack modlist for FO4VR a broken peace of shit? I had to follow like 10 steps that took an hour to set up and in the end my game still constantly crashes

>>420989207
piece*
im so upset that i cant even spell anymore
time to go play hogwarts legacy or something instead

>>420957108
>>420959450
I had to get a small playmat for my 6'x6' area, so if my feet go off of it then I know I can't fully swing or I'll punch a wall. It's a lot more immersive than a warning boundary since its all done unconsciously once you get used to it.

>>420994063
Can you post an image?

>>420896316
I switched to Meta pro controllers which has camera to do self tracking and it's been amazing. I don't have to deal with stupid ass fragile base stations taking up outlets, space, and the tinnitus noises it produces while it's on.

>>420896316
Quest 2 basestationless tracking is good enough most of the time. There aren't many games where you often need to move your hands outside of the tracking volume for long enough for it to matter.
High level Beat Saber autism and social VR like VRChat are where the flaws becomes much more noticable.

Sorry for asking a silly question but there is a VR sale ongoing and I dunno what to choose besides Sairento.
I really don't want to buy Skyrim another time and I don't like how Arizona looks stylistically but all of the rest seems good.
Could someone please at least point out some titles to avoid?

>>421002115
I can only hear them when I go on a ladder and put my ear to them. Are they loud for everyone else?

>>421012032
here you go

why is there no trackmania style assetto corsa maps
imagine this in VR
preferably with a convertible car so the roof isnt blocking your view from where you're going

>>421012032
Not a fan of Superhot VR if you have anything smaller than a 20x20 ft play space. The others that I played (Skyrim, Sairento and Dragon Fist) are absolutely worth it. I will likely get Fallout 4 VR, Cosmodread and Mothergunship

>>421012032
all of that is shit

>>420994915
I use one of these. I've seen people use more for larger areas. You can also find an unused rug or something.

>>420957108
i got 11 table tennis and started getting really into it with my index controllers
within 5 minutes i smacked my controller into my dresser, busting it open and the thumbstick was all fucked up and not doing anything in game
i paniced and ran and got a butter knife, jammed it into it to pry it open more, jammed it into the joystick in hopes of doing something that reset it back to the correct position, then smashed it back together ending with a click sound
then it was like brand new again

>>421012701
trackmania was the first racing game I looked up for VR support
was just as confused as you are

>>421013630
>>421012672
thanks!

>>421012032
>>421013630
remember that you need to buy flat Fallout 4's DLCs to mod it

>>421012032
Where is the sale? I usually compare against historic Steam prices at https://steamdb.info/ , sometimes a game you're not sure on will have a deeper discount during the big Steam sales so it's better to wait.

Superhot is usually overpriced. There's not much game or replayabilty there.
I expect you to die is similar so preferably get it on a good discount.
Ragnarock has one niche, being better than Beat Saber for metal music and it's worth it if that's what you're into.
Synth Riders is much more 'dancey' than Beat Saber and a better workout. I prefer it even though I can't dance for shit.
Dragon Fist is underrated but only if you have a decent playspace so you don't dragon fist a hole into the wall.

>>421020441
https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/build-your-own-infinity-vr-collection
Seem like good prices compared to lowest on steam

>>421019965
true but trackmania isnt a race wheel game and having a FFB peripheral like a race wheel or an old joystick to control your movement in VR removes a lot of the disorientation you would otherwise experience since you can feel what is happening with the vehicle in the wheel/joystick and you learn to understand what that means and begin to get a sense of movement more based on what you feel the device is doing. and thats why race sims go so well with VR. flight sims arent as big a deal imo largely because FFB hasnt been implemented in joysticks/yokes really for 20+ years, aside from a few niche brands which only work with a few niche flight sims unlike the old FFB which works in most flight sims

>>421012701
Can the car physics in AC reliably handle loops and jumps? I remember the Mario map having issues with a ramp section.
A trackmania style survival race would be fun in multiplayer.

>>420802626
>a co-op wave defence mode
have you tried to look at coop modes? There is a wave defence mode and more.

>>421022673
It's extremely barebones, just the same multiplayer maps with some moving spawn points. The escort mode also sucks, the AI pathfinding is buggy and there's too much downtime. No new enemy types, no repair facilities, no upgrades, points to spend or extra objectives. Might as well play a regular lobby filled with bots.
There's a lot they could do to improve it.

>>421012570
mine are pretty loud but I tune them out after a bit

>>421002115
Aren't Meta pro controllers hardly compatible with everything especially quest 2?

>>421021678
good question. is this AC?

>>421023623
They're also limited to 4 players for whatever reason. I hope the devs continue updating the game. Vox still has great core gameplay, and they did spend the last 2 years or so making the single player campaign, so hopefully they can turn their attention back to multiply

>>421012672
Vinyl reality is kind of cool if you're at all into DJing, but it is a niche of a niche. I liked battlegroup VR okay if you like RTS, since it is essentially your only option in VR.

How bad is quest link compression?

>>421037773
Yes, AC has the most mods for vintage cars and tracks by far.

>>421039701
that looks fucking fun. like mario kart if he real

whats the car/car pack called, or does it come with the track? i just drag and drop into CM right?

>>421038338
i booted up battlegroup in VR once and couldnt even figure out how to click anything with my index, seemed totally broken or so badly designed it would have an insane learning curve

>>421040327
I think that was the Maserati 6CM from the Voiturette 1.5 litre pack here https://perendinator.blogspot.com/search/label/Inter%20War
The map is https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/meadowdale-raceways.35502/ Too big for these cars really but the flowing track does suit the way they slide around and have shitty brakes.

Why the fuck doesn't Sony patch in a 72hz mode.

became a wagie and didnt touch vr for a few months, did anything good came out recently?

>>421052278
no really, sorry

>>421052278
The Light Brigade
psvr2 with the hoizon demo, re8 and gt7
some VR mods
That's about for recent noteworthy releases.
echo shut down and population 0 is going ftp

>>421053802
*That's about it

>>421052278
I've just been playing Breachers since it came out on PC VR.

>>421029464
They're compatible with Quest 2, Quest pro, and supposedly expected to work on the Quest 3 too. So it's really only for Meta users.

>>421038441
It's bad for open world games like Skyrim.

>>421052278
Light brigade is good. Ghosts of tabor is entering a limited alpha this week.
>>421012672
Cave digger was on my list for a while but never heard anything about it. What makes it so shit?

>>421061314
it looks like a r*ddit game so i downvoted it

>>421061463
Understandable but I thought the same thing of bean stalker and was wrong. Has anyone even tried it?

>>421012701
Is this Vorpx or is there some proper way to Play Beam in VR now?

You guys have any hope for Ghosts of Tabor being any good?

>>421079823
From what I've seen so far? No. The idea is cool but I don't have faith in the dev.

>>421079823
Depends. If you can't join a raid without other people filling all the player slots, it'll be dead on arrival because you won't be able to get a lobby in off peak times. They have been getting a lot of sponsorship/partnership deals with other companies and have quest cross-play so I imagine they'll be okay on money. Inventory management looks okay.
I'm a huge sucker for looter shooters and extraction shooters so I'm an easy sell and the 20USD price point is great too. Guess I'll find out in 2 weeks when the alpha comes around if I get a key.

>>421079823
No, I'll still try it though. It looks jank and very unrefined from videos. I suspect that will be the case for netcode and severs on release too. Skeptical about the amount of content, someone said it's only been in development for a year, that's both impressive and worrying. These extraction games rely on keeping you working towards a goal, the less content there is the harder it becomes to provide a variety of goals before the playerbase burns out.

I'm not a fan of copying Tarkov with different editions of the game. They'll ruin some of the early 'wipe' uniqueness when people who pay more skip starting with nothing like everyone else. At least it looks like there's no gamma case tier exclusive bullshit.

>>421038441
it's perfectly fine unless you're obsessing over every detail or staring at something with a ton of moving parts like a tree blowing in the wind or something
the biggest problem are the washed out colors but thats an issue with the LCD

>>421058942
wireless is the best for open world games

euro hours bumping time

So they make prescription lenses for VR, right? But all the adapters seem to add some bulk.

Can't you just hot glue a couple of lenses to your lenses? That'd probably save you a couple of mm.

uhh, I know I have shit taste but is the VR in SENRAN KAGURA Peach Beach Splash actually decent?
Also does the game still have VAC?

>>421097846
>when people who pay more skip starting with nothing like everyone else
The differences from the tiers below them are as follows:
T2
>shotgun+ammo
>another gun storage wall
T3
>tier 3 rig
>intel room(?)
T4
>another kind of backpack
>second common area(?)
>shooting range
>trader relationship bonus
T5
>fancy arm band
>season pass for more dlc
Each also has just straight up more of the stuff the lower tiers start with obviously but because you can only bring so much stuff in per raid the only thing it's really stopping is the early game gear fear. T4 is double the T1 standard edition price at 40USD. Honestly it's looking to me like the major difference is the extra storage walls and maybe the intel room if that gets some purpose in future. No idea if it's possible to spend in game materials to upgrade your safehouse but I imagine if it isn't then that'll be it.
As for that early wipe tarkov magic I get the feeling it'll also be like tarkov in that everyone who is going to sweat it out and grind for the good shit will do so in the opening hours of a wipe. I doubt you'll run into p2w faggotry more often than sweatlords being as they always are.

big sip

>>421128737

>MP5 and Uzi (2 pcs. each)
>Glock and PM (2 pcs. each)
>M4 and AK-74 (1 pcs. each)
A couple of the videos I watched said you start with nothing and that sounded like it would be more interesting.

shotgun pump

>>421142358
would pump

>>421127726
I've used a couple of headset with prescription lenses and they didn't really add that much bulk, maybe if you had crazy buggy eyes like that black chick in all the video games it would bother you.

>>421153034
the second one is COM3D2

>>421127726
just get contact lenses
you'll look less nerdy without glasses too

>>421166089
nta but having to put on contacts for vr added a lot of friction to the process and I hated doing it

>>421166823
you don't put them on for vr you put them on in the morning lol
the only reason I have glasses is for when society breaks down and I can't order new ones
I'd get laser eye surgery if I wasn't afraid of the risks

>>421167625

Can I mod the HL2 VR mod? Wouldn't mind some fully modeled cervix shit.

>>421176548
Model/texture replacements should work fine

going to retry this fallout 4 modlist again today
I just want to shoot some giant roaches

I guess that's it... No good VR porn games exist. Really nice 3D animation viewers, but little to no control. Guess it was a tall order from the start, seeing how VR has yet to produce enough decent slashers or shooters in the first place.
Did anything good come out that at least comes close to B&S levels of melee?

What's the best VR video player? Tried skybox after upgrading my PC, still runs a bit shit. Whirligig still good?

there's literally >>421142358 showing modding HL2VR
>>421183089
unironically Boneworks (and maybe Bonelab by extension? never played it), but obviously it's nowhere near the same level.

what exactly does xsoverlay provide that desktop+ doesn't?

>>421073454
its trackIR, just headtracking not VR at all
i did try vorpx for VR and it was total shit
in fact every single game ive tried to play in VR with vorpx was total shit

vorpx is only good for rendering games in 3d. but thats cool as fuck. especially horizon chase turbo in 3d

>>421184767
Gave this a try, it's pretty good. Only goes up to 4k on h264 which is a minor pity, but the fancy shit it's doing behind the scenes really improves the picture quality.

>>421183792
the free sexlikereal porn player software

>get an index
>put it on a few times
>lol minor snow effect on black screens now
It's amazing how shit valve are at hardware. One look, and you can see what the obvious problem is, they stuck down the cable right next to a large bending point where it joins to the HMD. I've unclipped it now, but it probably won't help.

>>421197193
>he fancy shit it's doing behind the scenes really improves the picture quality.
the fuck? wdym

Say, specifically, I wanted to play a certain Minecraft mod (Terrafirmacraft) in VR. What if an anon, knowing how to do this, hypothetically, spoonfed me on how to do it? I tried some things but it just runs regular MC no matter what.

>>421197459
Dynamic autofocus, light headtracking, IPD alignment. You can fix some of this stuff manually in other players, but it's nice to have it all just werking. Occasionally doesn't recognise a video as 3D, but every player has that issue.

>>421199227
you installed vivecraft?

>>421200074
I did, yeah, not the official shit.

>>421200372
have you tried running vivecraft without any other mods

>>421200487
I have! It works. Just not with TFC, which no matter where I put, doesn't register and just runs regular MC in VR. It's for an older version, like 1.7.10 or something, but I know for a fact you can run TFC in VR because there's a one whole video on youtube with it.

>>421200681
tfc is pretty huge
you running a mod manager?
I assume vanilla has eroor logs stored somewhere but I've only used multimc

>>421201394
I think it just wasn't loading because I fucked up the launcher, it was something something twitch, but I tried both with and without. Maybe I should give this MultiMC a go, is there a writeup or a vid to get started with VR somewhere for it that you'd recommend?

>>421201954
I don't know one sorry
MultiMC was imo the standard for a long time
mostly I brought it up because of easy access to error logs
there's probably some kind of weird conflict or something it might help track down

>>421202685
Oh well, thanks for indulging me anyway. I'll try it once I have the time, maybe it'll help.

I managed to actually leave the vault this time without crashing in fallout 4. Now if I can generate these LODs without breaking everything then it'll be perfect.

>>421202685
Actually, one more question - is it possible to play with flatscreen friends as a VR guy, or is that not a thing yet? With proper server setup and all that.

>>421211001
my understanding is that you can yeah
lot of servers will ban you because the teleport movement is considered cheating

im buying these next week for my oculus quest 2 and no one can stop me

>>421223662
They're great. The lack of tracking rings makes a huge difference.

>>421142192
Might have been different for the pre-alpha but that's what it says on the website. But either way 4 SMGs and 2 assault rifles gives you 6 non-hobo tier raids at best from the basic kit. Doesn't seem like much really.

>>421229694
so they are worth 300 dollars?

>>421234237
Not him but i guess it depends what you're playing. Some games are ok with the current tracking, but if you often lose track of your controllers while you play, i can see it worth it.

VRChat is evil.

People show nude sex avatars to children.

Adults engage these children in sodomitical acts.

These are children between the ages of 5 to 9.

The worst part is the children enjoy it.

This should terrify you.

Plan accordingly.

>>421240510
just ban all the kids

>>421240510
Wrong general and nobody cares. If you let kids on the internet alone at all, you're a shitty parent.

Neither of you get it.

None of you will until it is on your doorstep.

>>421183089
What's wrong with virt-a-mate besides getting filtered?

>>421240698
"Nobody cares."

Everything else about your comment means nothing.

It does not matter that you are pointing out that the parents are bad.

Your voice is the one of your entire generation.

"Nobody cares."
You will be forced to care, and your care will not come without enormous hardship and suffering.

You, and many others, will suffer for not caring.
I hope the hardly comfortable days of swinging your arms around in a fake, plasticine digital world was worth not caring, because I can tell you it will not be worth anything when it comes.

When it comes, there will be nothing you can do.

No one will help you.

There will be nothing to help any of you.

Your savings and possessions will be seen as a joke.

The entire work and labors of your life will be as if you never existed at all.
That is what not caring will afford you.

You are the "Nobody".

You are nothing.

>>421240510
for once i can say that vrchat is based

who's this schizo now

>>421240691
Do you really believe the children are initiating these sodomitical acts?

These acts are started by adults.

This is what VR is.
This is what you support when you buy a VR headset.

Is playing in a digital playground like an ignoramus really worth this to you?

Do you really see value in the digital sodomite molestation of the children of your society?

Are you really in support of one of the greatest evils of this world?

Is that really the kind of person you are?

Are you really that worthless?
Nobody can help you.

>>421243703
the cunny is okay as long as its 2d

Because you financially support this evil, it will repay you.

For not protecting these children, your future will be taken.

You have no future.

It is over.

You have a problem of tolerance in your heart.

You tolerate and laugh at evil.

You tolerate the wicked.

You enjoy their company.

You are a mirror of these children.

Their pain and suffering will reflect onto you.

There will be no escape.

There will be nowhere to run.

You will be afforded the death of a dog.

Because your thoughts and heart are set on evil.

You waste your days not even enjoying the time you spend in VR.
But somehow, you have the wicked energy to mock the truth of VR.

This the truth of VR.

It is being used to sexually abuse children.

You can do something about this.

You can stop supporting VR.

But you will not.

Because you are evil.

It is as if you have abused these children yourself.

Try to reach into your heart and feel something before it is too late.

>>421234237
They're pretty much worth it if you want the best controller available for the Meta quest.

i guess the diapershitter feels like shitting up this thread this time

>>421241629
Way too much commitment for way too little bang + too many /weg/oblins. There are flash games more immediately interactive and attractive than that behemoth of a porn engine.
I feared I would end up enjoying the tinkering more than the porn so I dropped it

>>421223662
Do people really pay 300 bucks for controllers that do less than the Index ones, which already have a dogshit number of buttons?

I'm really tired of "1 stick, 2 face buttons". It's not enough.

Well I haven't got anything against you but it would be a damn shame to not use a pistol this stylish.

Is there any way to add box art to non-steam games in the VR library? I used SGDBoop to add them in regular steam, which works great, but they don't show up in the VR view.

>>421254808
>no occlusion
>no tracking rings
>HD rumble!!!
If you're a questie they're the best controller you can get with the system atm. I also think they have better build quality, and hopefully better longevity then knuckles.

>>421257293
My problem is they're 300 bucks. The Index controllers were already a rip-off, and these are priced the same despite just being worse.

They will probably be built better, at least.

>>421254808
>I'm really tired of "1 stick, 2 face buttons". It's not enough.
The old WMR controllers were perfect, I guess people are dumb though and get confused by too many buttons on a controller.

>>421258731
Touchpads are a mess in VR. The Index ones are awful because they have a haptic click instead of an actual button. I'd rather just have 4 face buttons.

What would be a cool thing to showcase VR to relatives? The lab?
Also are there any cool free 3d scenes like with dances etc to showcase?

>>421257808
>>421254808
Finger tracking and the strap is the only thing that the Index controllers have over the Meta Quest, but besides that everything is better on the Pro controllers. Bigger battery, better buttons, nice hefty weight, better ergonomics, better build quality, more accurate and stronger haptics, better triggers, it has a magnetic port which also comes with a charging dock, and then the biggest selling point is how each controller has a mobile chip to do it's own tracking.

You save way more money when compared to buying base stations + Index controller to have the same level of tracking. By the way, the finger tracking is extremely under utilized on the index controllers so it's pretty useless. It also doesn't work 100% of the time when you're using it. I would only consider the strap to be the thing that stands out, and that's it.

>>421257808
>>421260448
do they even work outside meta ecosystem?

>>421261038
No unfortunately, and it's their biggest failing. They're good if you're already in the quest ecosystem. I haven't seen any usage of them eitb non meta headsets.

>>421259823
I like to show The Lab, theBlu, Art Plunge, oculus dream deck, maybe an 8k 360 video. It kinda depends on what headset you have, and how familiar the people you're showing it to are with controllers. I showed vr to my grandma and she can only does passive expierience, but my uncle was fine to play more involved stuff.

>>421265085
Wrong thread retard

>>421265746
where do I go I am lost help

>>421265782
read the OP, second paragraph

>>421260448
I'd consider the trackpad to be far more important. It's more inputs you can assign to stuff. The quest pro seems to have some kind of touch sensor but it's not really being used for anything yet.

>>421254808
The touch controllers are like a console controller split in half, give us back the other 2 face buttons you faggots.
If they can't do that then how about a shoulder button? There sure as hell is room, the touch controller trigger is fucking huge.
It was the one good idea in the shitheap that was the Vive Cosmos.

>>421272817
Yeah, it's crazy that we're still getting this one trigger garbage.

>>421269147
The normal quest 2 controllers have a touch sensor as well, but I think it's just used to detect where you're resting your thumb.

The weapon system in Mothergunship: Forge is so fun, shame it's stuck a funnyjunk humor shooting gallery. Could be worse, I suppose. Could be stuck in some gachashit.

>>421283757
You're a dumb gimmick that promotes dumb posts instead of cool discussion!!!!!!!
There's a meta?
>>421286470
Wait, you can *move*? I thought you were just stuck in the starting circle where you can move at a snail's pace and shoot at shit.

anyone get more compression artifacts with virtual desktop? I think its decoder is limited because all the other things it does, like SSW, is running on the headset's GPU while airlink is using the PCs GPU. it would also explain why you get slightly more fps.

>>421288678
the problem with systems like these is that every module you can use has a number assigned to it
and since everything has a number assigned there are objectively better builds which are going to be eventually optimized into
and most of the time those builds look like fucking retarded, so you're stuck with the choice of either making something that looks cool or something that has higher numbers
and depending on the difficulty, the numbers might be required

I've tried software from pastebin and I'm not seeing it

>>421307061
*bed

>>421304348
Seriously need to get this mod but I don't have the proprietary garbage to use it.

>>421269147
Are you doing productivity in VR or something? I don’t see why you would need extra inputs when VR games aren’t optimized and designed for extra input.

>>421303349
It's a "horror game for kids and youtubers", just because it's one of the first ones to cash in on it doesn't change that.

>>421306684
FoV in VR is dead, the companies and content creators have decided on behalf of the consumer that it is irrelevant as long as there is less bulk and more pixels, because that's what sells from an outside perspective.

>>421304348
That was fun, see you next week!

>>421308542
VR games will never be designed for proper input if nobody makes controllers with a sensible number of buttons. I wonder how long it'll be before one of these companies realises that making 2 identical controllers is retarded and realises that the things your main hand and the things your off hand do are completely different. 20 years?

>>421317345
I have motion controllers
Why do I need more buttons for devs to lazily assign to things that should be done with interaction instead

>>421318435
Right, right, everything should be a waggle emote. Want to open the menu? Just spin in a circle 3 times and put the left controller to your nose, it couldn't be simpler!

>>421319032
this isn't a wii anon
motion controllers are fairly precise

>>421309517
The problem right now is that increasing FoV will come at the cost of size/weight decreases, current optics development, keeping reasonable performance requirements and low manufacturing cost. All of which have a stronger impetus behind them.
I'm hopeful it will return so that the standard bumps up to at least Valve Index level but I think we're in for a wait.
Eye tracked foveated rendering should help with the performance problem and if distortion becomes an issue for non-Pimax products too then it may enable distortion correction methods that don't make people sick.

>>421317345
You're going to make left handed 'people' extremely butthurt if you design asymmetrical controllers. They're already rabid when a game doesn't have a perfect left handed mode.

>>421319973
>Eye tracked foveated rendering
Carmack didn't sound so optimistic about this

>>421319973
>>You're going to make left handed 'people' extremely butthurt if you design asymmetrical controllers.
Not an issue if you make the controllers ambidextrous, they can just swap hands. But maybe that's a bit too tough for your modern designer.

>>421306684
which one? Did he wrote more about the experience?

Flatscreen shooters are no longer even a thing for me. After VR, no manual reloading, no actual physical ADS, no holding the gun just kills it. Left click for death not so exciting anymore, no screenshake or boom sound will make it better.
Except for Doom, Doom stays.

>>421320310
He was being realistic. It's not useful in the short term because the limited FoV and resolution of the Quest 2 doesn't allow you to save enough performance to make up for what you spend using it nor justify the increased hardware cost.
Higher FoVs will benefit more because area covered by the foveal vision remains the same while despite having a larger panel. That means a larger proportion can have it's image quality decreased.

>>421323078
I play flat shooters more stealthy and tactically than I used to, blowing someone to bits using a trap isn't as affected by the lack of presence as a gun is

>>421320310
He was dispelling the nonsense about "It's going to give us several times more performance". It is useful, but only to the tune of around +30-40% on a very good day with how the tech currently works right now. Which is good and absolutely worth investing in eventually, that's a sizable difference in something with and without it, a whole GPU generation's worth, but it's not going to be revolutionary.

>foveated rendering
wouldn't this ruin the experience for/get nullified by desktop mirroring?

>>421323397
That and the Quest has to do everything on board.

>>421346545
PSVR2 has dynamic foveated rendering and supposedly it's noticable on the mirrored screen.

>>421258731
I had one of these and I can confirm they were wonderful compared to the shit that the oculus has.

>>421346545
I already notice it on my Quest pro. The foveated rendering in games like Red Matter 2 and Pokerstars lags, so when you are looking at the edge of the lenses it will take a second or more for the rendering to catch up. Everything looks super blurry and aliased for a bit as a result. Maybe headsets like the Vive Pro eye do it differently.

Does anyone else have problems with the Index controller grip detection getting stuck on? I thought it was sweaty hands but it happens even with gloves on.

god, raytracing in VR looks so good
can't wait for when gpu's that can run 4k raytracing are a dime a dozen and we can have realistic shading in every game

>>421375451
I tried Raytracing in RE8VR and at times it was legitimately amazing how it could impact a scene, the subtle changes stick out for you a lot more in VR, but I got this really weird flickering for shadows, particularly in the outlines of character models, which was too distracting and I had to turn it off. Shame, because I could hit a solid 90 with max settings and FSR, even at high resolution, on a 4090.

>>421377820
I can't imagine the denoiser looking good in VR. Though maybe it's better since the camera is never really still enough to make the denoising artifacts stand out. I've been so disappointed in realtime raytracing after getting a 4090.

>>421380169
It's kind of hit or miss. As I said, in some cases, looks nice. In other cases, it's a bit messy. You win some and you lose some. I still got these screenshots in RE7 when I was playing around in the starting area with it a bit back and fine tuning settings. I think I had FSR on for the RT since FPS was below comfortable levels otherwise, so it's not exactly like for like due to the loss of some sharpness, but the differences should be quite apparent in the lighting and shadows.

>big Resident Evil fan
>Capcom dabbles in VR releases
>RE7 - VR is PSVR1 exclusive
>RE4 - VR is Quest 2 exclusive
>RE8 - VR is PSVR2 exclusive (at present)
>REMake 4 - VR mode only announced for PSVR2
They've been blue balling me so god damn hard by giving zero shits about supporting their PC releases with it.


>>421375451
Hopefully by the time raytracing is just a typical thing for your mid-range GPU to handle, the standards of VR screens will be such that everyone has decent HDR levels and can really appreciate the contrast ranges RT can grant you.

>Dante Buckley wrote in a note on Facebook, confirmed by UploadVR, that his departure is “by choice” and not in a layoff. Buckley is the creator of one of VR’s leading team-based shooters Onward. In April 2021, Meta announced it had acquired Downpour andits entire team.
>Meta hasn’t formally announced a single new game yet from the eight VR game development studiosit acquired over the last few years. The one unofficial exception wasOnward 2, which was mentioned informally by Mark Zuckerberg back in 2021 shortly after the acquisition.

>>421420646
He was probably counting down the days on his calendar as soon as that Meta money came in, with some slight hope that there will be a reason to stay long after he's no longer obligated.

>>420643025 (OP)
i'm going to give it a couple more generations. i don't really feel that vr is exactly where it's supposed to be at, yet. basically all the games that come out for vr are still just simple tech demos. even the new resident evil 7 vr game that came out, was only two hours long or something and you could only walk around a small place in the castle. how the fuck is that acceptable?? who's going to pay a thousand dollars for that???

>>421423207
What are you talking about? RE7 and 8 have VR mods on PC, and official VR modes on PlayStation. The short castle demo for 8 was a free teaser for the flat screen release of the full game

>>421021678
>Can the car physics in AC reliably handle
no

>>421424112
vr is still shit technology that's way over-priced for what it actually gives you. wake me up when i can do readyplayerone in real life.

So guys I got sad and quit VR for several months again. I had zero energy to pick it up and zero desire to spend 3 hours tweaking settings and scrolling through github pages and fucking around with opencomposite, etc, just to play at 45 fps. I got a 4090 today and I'm back. Too tired and sad to play today but in a few days I'll try it out and should be able to play everyting at max. Since I've been away for so long, what have I missed? Reminder that I want to jump off the Reverb G2 train asap. What's this new Bigscreen headset about, is it legit? Trailer looks cool and they showed simracing and kayak. Any other headsets announced maybe?

>>421425307
bigscreen will give you the fov equivilent of swimming goggles
if you have a 4090 then get the pimax crystal

FoV is a meme. Comfort is the king, followed by resolution.
Prove me wrong. Protip: You can't.

>>421428436
I'm pretty sure I'd never touch pimax anything. It's chinese. Varjo or Steam or bust.

>>421429350
Ok I will
ur a fagget

>>421430904

>>421429350
144hz is the bare minimum for VR, 165hz should be the standard
I don't care if it's 4K, 90hz feels just awful

>>421425307
Bigscreen will get you the best wired, limited FoV VR experience but do you really want that for playing games? At $1k just for the headset? Not even released for several months?
Ignore Pimax, if fucking around with settings was already too much for you then Pimax will make you abandon VR for good. Pimax missed the Crystal release date by a mile and even the battered wives known as Pimax fans are getting sick of their shit.
Shitfall are still making the MeganeX but no point getting hyped about another prototype product with no release date.

Your only decent choices right now are to suffer the G2, begrudgingly buy an Index or get zucked. I'd try to suffer at least until the other side of summer where you'll likely have more options and hopefully some substantial leaks/rumors for other new headsets.

>>421420646
Amazing how they killed a game that was slated to be actually decent and made it a Pavlov clone instead.

>>421431108
Cucked by lack of processing power and shitty display technology.
The displays are just not bright enough.
We will get into overclocked CRT territory eventually, but not anytime soon.
And 165hz is nowhere near enough, CRT could get away with it, but not LCD's with their inferior way of handling low persistence can't.

>>421002115
Still waiting on Meta to announce FBT trackers using the same tech as the Pro controllers.

>>421441830
It will never happen.

Once again collecting recs for games you can play online with your flatscreen friends. So far I got:
>Payday 2
>Serious Sam via Fusion
>Demeo?
>Valheim

>>421449062
GTFO maybe? you'd have to ask the gtfo group
also pulsar lost colony, risk of rain 2, drg and vox machinae, but be sure to test it

>>421449062
Raft has a VR mod. There's a flatscreen version of it so they can see you waggle your arms.

>>421449062
BallisticNG

>>421449062
Phasmophobia

>>421458701
Asseto Corsa as well, although VR gives you a fair bit of an advantage.

Is it really that difficult to port beat saber to Pico 4?
I was under the impression both headsets feature similar hardware and both run on android, how difficult can it be to force it to run on different headset

>>421464494
Meta

>>421449062
L4D2's VR mod works with multiplayer and flat friends. Make sure you set the right options though, since you need to enable certain launch options or else risk a VAC ban.

>>421420646
With Facebook sacking so many people I wouldn't be surprised if these studios have been completely hollowed out. It's a shame as Asgard's Wrath has very blatant sequel bait, but I doubt that anything will happen now.

>>421419510
>>VTOL VR competitor
VTOL VR has an actual dev who, despite being a slowpoke, gives a shit about the quality of his game.
I've played War Thunder since 2013 and i can tell you gajin doesn't give a shit about you or the game.

>>420648586
it is weird they couldn't do 110 or something especially because it's custom fitted and they could get it closer to your eyes than any other product.

>>421259823
alyx. There's nothing more impressive than "what the fuck this looks real"

>>421309517
I can understand low fov until recently because fresnel lenses make the headset really deep and the edges are blurry, and lack of eyetracking meant no foveated rendering. But pancake lenses and FR are finally in the market. So now that we can have wide FOV I'm going to be annoyed if deckard doesn't try to run the ball.

>>421317345
Left and right hand parity of function makes sense for VR because when you use an object you expect both hands to be able to do the same things.

>>421319973
the first time I put on a VR headset (reverb g2) my first thought was how much smaller the FOV was than I expected. I wonder how common that is. People cope that it's like looking through a dive mask but it really is worse than that. It's like looking through hand binoculars, and coincedentally making hand binoculars is about the size of the headset on your face, so you wonder if the lenses are doing anything at all except allowing you to focus on something 3 inches away

>>421320310
I'm sure if it didn't help, the PSVR2 wouldn't be using it.

Besides, foveated rendering is a software feature with no cost. What you pay for is the eye tracking, which is absolutely worth doing even if foveated rendering didn't exist.

>>421479097
The actual gameplay of War Thunder is fun though, it's the monetization that destroys the fun of the game towards the mid/end tiers. If you have the self control to stop once it stops being fun you can still get a lot of enjoyment out of it and I think it would be one of the best VR games, even if it was only the planes in VR with good VR controls. If you're one of the way too many people that have 1000+ hours and have become completely jaded you might forget that tiers 1-4 are pretty well paced and fun to play.

>>421429350
I've never thought any headset around 2k looked bad enough to want more resolution for games. However if the resolution gets high enough to never buy a monitor again that greatly offsets the price of the headset.

>>421431108
I realized about 3/4 way into alyx I was never getting 90fps and probably playing at about 70 average with a wildly inconsistent framerate

I didn't feel sick passed the first few seconds unless I used analog rotation, and even that I was slowly getting used to. Feels good to be almost immune to simulator sickness. But I also can't tell a huge difference between 60, 120, 144hz in games etc. And I get motion sickness pretty easily in cars and boats if I'm not looking out.

>>421495463
>unless I used analog rotation
I've been playing VR games for 6 years and I still require snap rotation on everything that isn't cockpit games.

>>421494787
I wrote a text wall of rage against gajin explaining the different ways that this fucking game manage to be cancer even in the early tiers right now, but you're not really wrong.
But they really do manage to make the game miserable even for lower tiers, don't doubt it. Like right now they pretty much broken every single canons and HE does nothing.

the new pimax controllers look fucking great
i like the touch pads on the vive controllers
>>421406206
lack of sub 2000 € force feedback sticks ruin flight sims

>>421431993
truth: its not about processing power but optimization

Having a lot of fun with fallout 4. I've never played it before so it's holding my attention a lot better than skyrim, which I basically know the ins and outs of. The difficulty on the minimalist modlist is also really fun; no bullet sponge enemies, but resources are scarce. Also, dogmeat is a good boy.

>>421498394
Good physics is expensive, so unless you want to only play primitive heavily stylized games, it's still about processing power.
I would trade "realistic" graphics for good physics personally (alyx are boneworks are still very primitive).

>>421498394
Yes but also on the hardware side too. Take rendering light for example. Used to take ages until RTX cards became a thing even with a similar clock speed. It all goes hand in hand really but until the quest can match halo 3's graphics with its nice lighting and pbr shader, it's shit in my books.

>>421498553
Are there any mods that make the weapon handling decent? No manual reloads really ruins it for me.

>>421499724
Yeah nope. That's a definite drawback but thankfully it doesn't bother me too much. I'm too busy blowing the heads off of ghouls.

>>421464494
Pico is a direct competitor to Meta, which bought Beat Saber long ago. Pico has Just Dance exclusivity to make up for it.

>>421497961
>the new pimax controllers
Where can you even see them? There's only one blurry image on the crystal page, unless you're talking about the old sword ones. The new ones aren't lighthouse so they're junk anyway.

>lack of sub 2000 € force feedback sticks
Just hook up your 20 dollar FFB2 again.

Can someone explain to me how you're supposed to emulate games in VR? I don't get it. Not about running the emulator in VR, that's not the problem. The problem is the controller. I can boot up steam VR and run an emulator through steam, no problem. But the problem is Steam VR disables big picture from running in the background, which means any controllers you try to connect simply don't work. But that doesn't stop steam from "stealing" their input. This makes it functionally impossible for me to play on an emulator in VR since there's no way to use a controller. I don't understand how people are doing it.

For the record I'm trying to emulate Virtual Boy in VR, specifically.

>>421494039
>my first thought was how much smaller the FOV was than I expected. I wonder how common that is.
It must be pretty common, because pretty much all manufacturers lie about their FOV so you end up with pretty small ones.
I've gone and search for some info out of curiosity and found this video with some guy testing a range of headsets with an fov-testing program.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvkUtY8ifDs
Here's the results (horizontal/vertical):
Oculus Rift S 86°/110°
Vive Cosmos 82°/112°
HP Reverb G2 98°/114°
HP Reverb G1 94°/106°
HTC Vive Pro 98°/126°
Valve Index 108°/130° (lenses closest to the eyes)
Valve Index 100°/112° (lenses farthest from the eyes)
Odyssey+ 102°/130°
Oculus Quest 92°/116°
Pimax Artisan 128°/124°
Pimax 8KX 140°/124°
He says the 8KX actually gets up to 160° horizontal but it gets so distorted and blurry in the last 20° he didn't count them.

Guys, any recommendation for someone dealing with massive anxiety? My heart is struggling and I'm looking for relaxing VR stuff, I've been playing fishing games like Bait and Real VR Fishing, it helps, also Walkabout Mini Golf.

Anything else?

>>421513406
You don't need big picture for steam input to work. Make sure that it is enabled for the game you are playing in Steam by adding it as a non Steam game and going to its properties. That or get a third party driver for your controller.

any good VR mech games? Something more like mechwarrior than robo-pavlov ideally.

>>421534531
It bothers me not knowing if deckard is going to be announced this year, 2024, 2025 even. I can ignore half life 3, it's one game. But I'm only interested in buying valve's next headset, and I've been passing on VR for years now even though I know how much I like it. All headsets are flawed and missing critical features for future proofing, even the expensive ones. I'd be fine with paying $1000 if I couldn't point out something obviously missing from the headset that's going to annoy me later.

Maybe I just need to pick up a used G2. But last time I used one was the V1 version. The tracking volume was annoying once but what I really didn't like was WMR and just how stupid and hard to use the software was. When I tried a quest 2 I could not believe how much facebook absolutely mogged microsoft. Does anyone know if it's been improved? I'm talking about retaded, -fire this employee now- ideas like "flashlight" instead of just showing you the entire external view, WMR consuming vram when I'm not using it, the adjustment for floor level being hidden in a menu instead of initial setup and taking a long time to redo every time it breaks, etc.

>>421541865
They redid the WMR software/home and you can boot straight into SteamVR now which is nice. Don't expect the tracking to get better, I use my Index controllers with my G2 for a reason.

So fucking tired of retarded fence sitters.

We don't need another fucking garbage headset.
Without games any headset would just be collecting dust anyway.
Q2 is good enough for the next 2+ years, or at the very least until the next gen of GPU's.

Firmament got a May 18 release date. Feels like it was supposed to come out forever ago.

>>420797621
H3VR

>spend 3 hours making a mission for VTOL VR
>accidentally make it single player instead of multiplayer
please tell me there's a way to change it somehow.

Breachers got updated, they made smoke grenades actually work.

It would be so cool if the tracks in the next wipeout game were depthcore.

>>421536383
That doesn't work though. If I try to open controller settings while in Steam VR it flat out doesn't open, and the controller doesn't work. If I close steam VR the controller settings suddenly work, and the controller will then work properly in the emulator.

>>421546981
Yes, what we need is a good headset that's also not made by a chinese company. Index 2 for example or a more affordable Varjo.

>>421562106
What we need are games, you stupid retard.
When we have games, good headsets will come right after.

>>421520796
Just a heads up, this was using a version of TestHMD which had a massive bug and added a shitton of vertical FoV. If you check his later FoV videos, you'll find the vertical values are much, much lower.

He was also using a preproduction 8KX that had much worse distortion than production models because Pimax are fucking idiots and send out review copies way too soon.

>>421561632
Get a third party driver for your controller if you having so many issues with steaminput then. I use ds4windows for my ds4, but I'm sure that it varies based on your controller.

>>421536651
WAIT GANG WW@?

>>421541865
Valve was entirely the wrong company to try to prop up what is effectively a console, but then again it's Meta's fault for consolizing VR in the first place.

We need more good singleplayer games. Ones that have depth or variety to their mechanics and aren't finished in 3 hours.

There is no point arguing with them. They don't understand human language.

I've met decent racing fans, but the ones on here are consistently diaper fetish tier loud&proud types. I wonder what's the overlap between 4chan and racing sims that makes their brain go limp and smooth?

Probably the same overlap between VR and 'trans' players.

>>421585791
They don't have too.
We just didn't figure out how to do them properly. Vrchat fags are getting closer though.

And it doesn't necessary have to be anime girls. Stylization is a spectrum.

>>421546981
Q2 sold well but it has a low attachment rate. People played it right after they bought it but they are now collecting dust all the same. If facebook just whipped up some more games for it wouldn't fix anything, I don't think people would notice.

Attempting to fix their situation facebook is going to bring AR with the quest 3 which will renew the novelty. The performance will be better, which helps with ports I guess. I still don't think this will fix anything in the long run because you're not getting the developer resources of powerful consoles like xbox and playstation.

But no one is going to burn their money making dedicated VR games with such a low install base. The biggest flatscreen games like call of duty and GTA need to be codeveloped with VR modes. They can't fully take advantage of VR this way, but at least you can play AAA in VR. Microsoft also needs to make a fucking xbox headset.

PCVR will only be saved if console VR makes it and games get rereleased on PC

>>421590440
Low attachment rate was only a recent thing (as in the past year). It was part of the recent they bumped the baseline price of the hardware up since they couldn't rely on each headset selling enough software to break them even on that plus the rise in hardware parts.

TABOR NOW

>>421590440
PCVR just have to play into its strengths instead of being a lost child of vr industry.
Indie devs have to make high-tech good porn games which utilize the high performance of PC, that's it. Something which
is simply impossible on consoles or standalone shit.
The vr audience is too small to support big studios, but big enough to support talented indies. The problem is that our indies are hacks who keep making low-effort trash in unity.

It's a fool's errand to try to force adoption with gimmicks. It's just not going to work. VR has to grow organically. Zucc can keep burning money for all I care though.

>>421591163
>The problem is that our indies are hacks who keep making low-effort trash in unity.
The problem is our indies are programmers, not high fidelity artists.

>>421589648

Castrated PCVR on console-handout-life support might as well not exist at all.

What is this cope? If they had a steady stream of AAA games like any console should, there would be no problem. Imagine if facebook put their money to funding at least 6 AAA VR games per year from the big publishers, or even just 4.

>>421591870
is tabor public public or does it have private matches? I like all the aspects of Tarkov except the PvP. PvE is fine though.

>>421593987
There's offline raid functionality but I don't know if you get to keep your loot if you do it that way and can play entirely offline.

>>421591510

They're probably still feeling too burnt from trying to do AAA on PCVR behind their walled garden and having it blow in their face.

I know pretty much nothing about how to get roms/isos working, but I've been trying to get some games for emu VR was looking at some playstation 1 light gun games like time crisis. however most of the downloads I find just have .bin files. I'm assuming I need to convert these to something in order for them to be playable?

>>421585791
>>421589648
Stylization is a spectrum and I'm still holding out that someone gets near-perfect on the "3d looking 2d anime" end of that spectrum sooner rather than later.

>>421599728
Based retard downloading OST instead of an actual game.

>>421594908
Unirinically just throw more money at them, like with Epic exclusivity. Meta has even more money to waste on VR.
They dipped their toes with Medal of Honor but that's an irrelevant franchises and wasn't handled with enough care, I guess they gave up after that.
If they get the ball rolling and the platform sells very well, the publishers will want to get in on it despite the technical limitations, like with the Wii, Switch and mobile.
I hope console VR saves us from mobile VR limitations.

>>421600602
don't worry I'm sure I can get it to run

>>421601293
I'm just joking. You see that .cue file? That's what you need to select in the emulator.
Weird that time crisis has so many tracks, it's usually just one bin file. Try selecting the .cue anyway.

>>421602126
thanks anon

>>421596628
If you have a super computer to run it, don't have a small IPD, and are okay with tinkering and some troubleshooting instead of being totally plug and play, yes.

any recommendations on how to make some vr games run nicer on a not so fancy computer, or is it a lost cause?

what level of not so fancy we are talking about?

fifth gen intel cpu, gtx10 series gpu, 16gb 2400mhz ram, dunno if it matters but air cooled

yikes
headset and resolution?

the original vive... is it that bad?

with original vive, you might be ok
that's your problem exactly?
overclock everything as much as you can
keep lowering rendering resolution until you get good frametimes, if it doesn't work, you are CPU bound, increase the CPU overclock further, maybe even past safe levels

>>421602126
It was an arcade game. For all we know each track may be a fully self contained level + associated assets just to make it stream quicker.

thanks, anon. hopefully I can bring it to a level where I can actually play games instead of slideshows. Some of the singleplayer stuff works fine but with multiplayer like pavlov, onward, etc it really starts tanking. Hopefully I don't melt anything

>>421602126
update: got it working, thanks anon

The VR mod for Cruelty Squad is finally out. I'm definitely going to try to get the other endings now.

>>421593987
It's extremely heavily influenced by Tarkov. Public PvPvE with an offline 'training' version of each map that doesn't affect your gear.

>>421590440
With Facebook sacking employees, specifically in their VR department, I doubt that we'll get many more games from them.

yes I'm autistic how can you tell

>>421608595
Between this and Bytedance massively scaling back their sale estimates on the Pico 4+layoffs, I think the VR bubble has burst a bit. Maybe Sony will bring some life back into it. Or, maybe it's a good thing. It seems like some more mid level companies are stepping up, so perhaps we'll see fewer titans propping up the industry, but more medium sized players.

>>421609095
>that location
That webm is triggering my PTSD.
The worst location in the whole game by far. Fuck the shock anomalies.

Any VR games where I can ride a horse or interact with a horse? I'm scared of them IRL and want to get over my fear. No porn games please

If you have any intention of playing with someone in another continent, don't bother buying. EU cannot play with US, SEA can't play with anyone else.
Fucking absolute monkeys paw. Was really excited about this game but I literally cannot play it with any of my vr friends.

>>421612091
Based devs. Fuck normalfags and lagging retards.
I see the apes are resorting to extortion already, let's hope the devs do not cuck out.

>>421612091
yeah but what game is this

>>421605369
Is it worth the 90hz cap?

>>421614931
Unless you have a 4090, you are not driving above 90hz outside some simpler games at dual 4k per eye. If you like shit image quality it can do 110hz when upscaled from 1440p, but I don't think that's worth it.

>>421613247
tabor

>>421591870
Ghosts of Tabor seems like a bit of a mess. Feels like nothing really works. Ran around a bit, killed some NPCs, killed some players, then kept randomly losing my armor and backpack and then my holstered SKS drifted about five meters away from me to the left and I couldn't get to it anymore.

>>421609095
>>421609503
itr bros, what do you like at security level 4?

>>421612426
>>421612091
Based. Game needs to do this to die faster and tank VR even more with it. FUCK video games, cringe shit for normie apes. Sculpture and art chads rise up.

>>421618554
So this is the power of unreal engine.
Sasuga.

>>421621183
The real power of unreal engine is in the lighting. Specular and reflections that really pop. However this is a quest game so there is no dynamic lighting or reflections. You'll be lucky if there's transparency.

>>421622181
So basically all the bugs and terrible performance, for no benefit at all.
Well done, developers.

>>421622460
New vr devs chose between unreal and unity. Both are trash for their own reasons. Arguably unreal is better in looks and physics but if you are not going to actually utilise them then just make a fucking mobile game for fucks sake.

>>421623649
>New vr devs
The devs who start with unity/unreal, die with unity/unreal.
It's time to call off-the-shelf engines what they truly are - cancer.

i just remember i have a giant jar of shrooms from last year
gonna try tripping in vr this week
hope i dont barf and spend the day contemplating my life on the couch instead like last time i tried them

>>421622181
Also I cannot see shit in that map. It is absurdly dark.

>new pimax has worse fov than index
oh my god

>>421618554
Its in alpha...... its been in development for 11 months
>its a free Open Alpha stress test

>>421254808
yes because making index controllers work with a quest 2 is a pain in the nuts

>>421630196
Wait pimax was the meme headset makers that advertises huge FOV this doesn't make sense

>almost every VR game in the horizon is a fucking multiplayer game
what the fuck am i supposed to fucking play? io cant fucking play multi0player cause people will criticize me

>>421635090
Wait forever with me for Firmament to come out, assuming you care for logical puzzlers.

>>421608295
Aw sweet, eye cancer now in 360°!

>>421628830
There is a daytime map but even the home base and store maps are dark as fuck. I noticed too you can't buy flashlights, only night vision.
Fucking hell man the damage the quest has done to vr gaming honestly makes me want to drop this platform entirely.

so i just looked up light brigade and it looks good so the question now is in what stupid way did they fuck it up?
is it rogelite?
is it proc generated?
does it have some stupid gimmick with death?
or is it just a straiught forward singleplayer game with a campaign to chew through?

>>421646861
never mind i read the steam discrription and its a roguelike
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I WILL NEVER P[LAY A GOOD GAME AGAIN AND ITS ALL THE FAU9LT OF THI0S STUPIF ROGUELIKE SHIT I WILL NOT TGRY IT AND I WILL NOT LEARN TO LIKE ITR ITS SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT PERIOD TRHE END I ODNT WANT TO HAVE TO DIE JUST TO GET BETTER AT A GAME THATS IDIOTIC

>>421646861
It's not a roguelite even. You get a classes to pick from which all have a primary weapon. You can pick up enemy weapons but not reload or store them so you're basically just stuck with the one weapon for the entire run. After a run you can upgrade and during a run you can find charms, but otherwise the gameplay is entirely dependent on class. At level 5 for each class you can unlock the next. Maps are short sections but procedurally generated. You get a couple of lives but dying repawns all enemies in that level. Going to your dead body and praying gets you your souls back (like dark souls). Not much of a story to speak of though there really could have been if they actually did do some storytelling.

>>421609980

There is no good VR sculpting program. There is no good VR drawing program.

>>421630196
It's barely a 5% difference and will have much better usable FoV due to the aspheric lenses.

The Crystal is turning into a complete shitshow for so many other reasons than that though. Actual fucking clown show going on with Pimax, even more than their usual antics.

>>421580946
I wish Microsoft would grow a brain and add VR to the Forza series, but instead they came up with a VR standard that they obviously want nothing to do with.

I hope sony get some studio to make a new Wipeout game for the PS5 (and possibly PC). Omega Collection on psvr1 is amazing already, but something playable on modern headsets would be mindblowing.

New to gaming?
At best they might fix SOME of the current bugs in 3 years.
And that's ignoring the new bug that they will introduce.

But for real, what would xsoverlay give me that desktop+ doesn't?

>>421622460
That would be $20. Thank you very much.

How do you get over sim sickness? 20, 30 minutes and I start feeling unwell. Just the smell of the headset reminds me of being sick and it starts coming back. Small periods of VR every day? Take a few weeks off?

Play until you feel discomfort, then stop immediately. Don't try to push through it, you will only make it worse.
You can play again once you are back to normal.
After ~2 weeks of doing that, you should be alight.

Try some ginger tea, put a fan in your face, and as soon as you start feeling sick, you stop. Gradually each play session will be longer than the last.

I think it is important to stick with smooth locomotion the whole time though. It seems you do have to do what makes you uncomfortable to build tolerance to it.

>>421659018
>if someone drops their shit, you have to physically get down on the ground to pick it up
Based. Fatties btfo, immersionchads win again.

>>421659018
I think the backpack is actually bugged and doesn't open up correctly half the time. Like randomly the backpack is just closed when you're holding it and the only way to open it up seems to be to put it on and take it off again.
I get that it's a playtest but it really feels like absolutely nothing works.

>Yes, even the most basic mechanics are bugged, but I still trust the devs! It's just alpha!
Imagine having 0 self-respect.

What kind of mental illness is this?

>>421666012
>40GB pagefile size with 32GB of physical RAM, as I prefer the extra overhead.
72 fucking GB of virtual ram to run a game.
The absolute state of modding community.

>>421666012
Wabbajack is insane and also checks to make sure your install is located in your steam directory and shit so you aren't an evil pirate who didn't give Todd 50 bucks for the same game but now in VR. But what else are you going to do? Make your own fucking mod list?

I ignored the pagefile requirements and it runs anyway, but maybe I'll try 40gb at some point. Tahrovin kind of runs like shit at points, but it looks alright. Shame you can't use most of the degenerate mods.

>>421666549
>Wabbajack is insane and also checks to make sure your install is located in your steam directory and shit so you aren't an evil pirate who didn't give Todd 50 bucks for the same game but now in VR
Can't you compile the program with that check disabled? It looks like FOSS
Anyway, why the fuck every SkyrimVR modlist has like 150gb of mods each and is extremely bloated?
I know vanilla is shit, but there is something extremely wrong with the modlist if it gets that bloated

>>421666812
> 150gb of mods each and is extremely bloated?
Those 16k HDR horse pussy textures take space, you know?
You don't want your game to be literally unplayable, right?

>>421666812
A lot of it is just basic texture replacers and shit that are 5gig a pop. You can get around the check, I'm using a pirated install, but it's a mild hassle.

When the alternative is doing it yourself, everyone would rather just stick with a mod pack. I hear you can mod fus to add porn shit, but I'm too lazy even for that.

>>420643025 (OP)
is there a good side to pirate assetto corsa mods? Id love to drive the Yoshida special 911, but that thing is behind a 15€ paywal

>>421662296
You press trigger to open and close it, I've never had it stay shut but I do have serious problems trying to actually grab it instead of taking my armor off. What's not clear to me is why you can't put certain items in there like pistols or rope and whether there's a storage limit.

Besides the bugs/jank it copies Tarkov far too much with no identity of it's own and the few things that it does try to add are not well thought out.
The custom armor/rig pouch system is needlessly complex and makes looting or swapping out for a new one awkward and time consuming. Finding one in raid feels shit because it has no pouches.
The player base is a clusterfuck. It's way too big with slow ass doors in between the rooms and it's not clear where your loot even saves properly. Organising gear was already tedious enough in Tarkov, now you have to load into a different map just to buy stuff.
Enemies shitting out their items onto the floor usually means it gets covered by their dead body or is hard to see in the dark rooms. Being shot because you can't find the unlit magazine in some dead dude's ass isn't engaging gameplay. Worse than fishing for the bomb in Pavlov.

>>421667535
Search the creators names on kemono.party, yes they have more than just porn. There's also a thread on cs.rin.ru for 'sharing' Assetto mods.

>>421666419
>>421666012
Yes, or run a shittier mod pack. 40GB pagefile is also required for normal Skyrim and not just VR.
It's a shitty 12 year old game.

>recording left eye when you have right eye as dominant

>>421668164
I was able to find it thanks to those links, cheers.

>>421669118
I switched to recording the game window for once and forgot that UE4 trash only uses left eye. Still a good example of the 'epic' graphics setting.

>>421668164
Does your armor actually work? I lose mine every single time I load a map. I also haven't found a single pouch which makes reloading an absolute clusterfuck.

>>421671245
It's a broken mess. Apparently only the ones on the table in the base are bugged but I've lost rigs/backpacks I got from the market as well as ones I looted from another player.
Armor doesn't seem very useful anyway, every fight I had with another player ended with a headshot.

Light Brigade is actually pretty decent now with the latest update.

>>421635090
Get PSVR2, play RE4make in VR.

>>421666812
You can bypass the check by making a fake Steam appmanifest file. Copy an existing one, and change the appid and name toc orrespond to Skyrim or whatever game you want it to think you have apid for.

>>421677648
What made it better ?

>>421678446
Better controls and handling, mostly you can go normal speed if you hold your main gun with both hands as long as you point it downwards and only slow down when you aim

>>421677818
>Quest but for the PlayStation
>with less exclusives and no PC VR support

That's like buying a Switch but at triple the price. Jesus Christ.
Not to mention that you still have to buy the game when the Quest includes it for free even if it's basically just a VR mod for an old game.

>wanted to play ghosts of tabor

The closest thing to Trackmania in VR would be Distance

>>421689330
yeah ive had it for like 8 years. thats not what im looking for. i want to feel the force feedback forces of trying to stay on a wall through a turn despite gravity, like my webm shows. distance is so arcadey that you're better off playing with a controller and that whole experience in VR is just disorienting and boring compared to what we could have

>>421669118
>eye dominance
How do you know which eye is dominant, can you test for eye dominance?

>>421688081
Didn't have any issue with index here, maybe you're just a retard?

>>421689664
Focus your eyes on your hand. Now close your left eye. If perceived image changes a lot, you have right eye dominance. If it looks almost the same, you have left eye dominance.
It's important to know when you shoot with both eyes open.

>>421689839
i booted it up in "open xmr" mode or whatever instead of steamvr mode and it works
shooting feels like ass though so i lost all interest

>>421690778
> Now close your left eye.
right eye* of course

>>421690778
Pretty much everyone has the same eye dominance as their handedness. If you don't, you're a genetic retard.

>>421691393
Fuck you.

>>421689664
Just fuck up your other eye and you have your answer.
>tfw left eye will randomly go insane and give me extreme light sensitivity and shit

>>421691393
i bet its easy to switch just from playing shooters in VR and aiming down your non dominant eye, especially if that feels more natural than holding the gun the other way

>>421692076
Not easy at all. You have to have both of your eyes open and practice a lot.
If you just close one eye, it's not going to work.

>>421692363
people learn to ride skateboards and the like well with their opposite foot in front. its not that hard to adapt to change

>>421692674
It's not that easy with eye dominance. Even competitive IRL shooters, sometimes have to close one eye momentarily just to switch the perspective before shooting, and those people basically live on the shooting range.

>>421692934
nigga your brain will literally flip everything upside down if you wear upside down goggles for 2 weeks

I've been away from H3VR for a couple of years, what's good in terms of modding now? Is there anything to allow you to easily remap the garbage default shit like having B turn you when you have a perfectly good thumbstick for that while mag eject is an awkward touchpad press?

>>421647720
I don't mean in VR

>>421700352
I use overwolf with thunderstore mod manager and have no issues

>>421689664
Make a circle with your hands. Look at something through the circle. Close one eye and then the other. The eye that you can still see the thing through is your dominant eye.

>>421700352
it has "simplified" controls for a while which is your standard thumbstick movement and turn + face buttons to eject mag and change firemode etc.

>>421716369
Yeah, but those are retarded because you just lose half the options like palming bullets and stuff.

>get 4090
>still have to use opencomposite to play at 90hz on my G2

God I hate WMR so much.

>big studios have tried to make games to pique interest, but either made trash games or didnt do well enough to make profits
vr is a passing fad since the entry price is too big to justify it to normies. therefore there is no AAA support to make actual games. if i didn't have flight sims to fall back on i'd be assblasted. how do you guys cope?

How's Tabor as a coop/singleplayer looter shooter? I just want a game where I spend inordinate amounts of time going building to building and clearing every single one of them bros

>>421731729
I watch stuff on the big screen in Bigscreen and COMPOUND is fun

>>421732424
It's too buggy to play.

>>421732424
Inventory management and controls are complete dogshit. It's heavily quested so the levels are small. AI is brain dead and will sprint directly at you if you start shooting.

Does Assetto go on sale frequently? Been needing a racing fix and its low spec enough for flat-mode that my rig should be able to handle it in VR no problem.

Apparently your options are to practice putting your sights under your cross dominant eye, or blocking out a small spot of your cross dominant eye's vision in the center where your sights are (in real life, a piece of tape over safety glasses). Some people also turn or move their head. Just do what works, the only thing I'd agree is "bad" is shooting with one eye closed just because it's uncomfortable to do all the time.

I don't know why people with cross eye dominance don't naturally do the first one though. How are they bringing their sights under their right eye and fucking up exactly?

*yawns*

what VR *fart* games are you playing?

>>421747513
Yeah. I bought it in a humble bundle with ACC, a few other games, and 3 months of iRacing for like 15 bucks last year. You can usually get it with all DLC for about 5-10 bucks.

Meanwhile choosing between Valheim VR mod or SkyrimVR. I know that both games must be awful for melee VR combat(especially considering vanilla Skyrim combat system, even Morrowind aged better)
Valheim modding looks much better to play, meanwhile Skyrim mod monstrosity and amount of troubleshooting depresses
Anyone played both of these games(in VR) to compare gameplay for both of them? I don't care about graphics, but just gameplay and scope of content, and i spent a lot of time in both games before to know it has content at least

So should I consider myself lucky that I get no motion sickness in VR and smooth movement doesn't fuck me over at all as someone who literally just got VR?

Where do you guys get you VR porn?

You can remove crosshair by patching _p pak file with null texture
Resizing is a bit trickier though, but it's possible to resize models by editing parameters again

>new vr game gets announced

many such cases

Why is EmuVR focused on the shitty bedroom aesthetic? What about the arcade goers? When I think about retro shit I think about my time in the arcades back then.
And no, NewRetroArcade: Neon has been dead for 5 years now.

>>421806187
Does this game manage to get past the uncanny valley you'd typically run into with anime-style models?

>>421823967
Because the author is mentally ill. You can't even disable some of the huge performance sapping shit like the stupid faux bloom on the fake CRTs or the stupid shadow mask gimmick. You have to physically edit your save json to even make a screen a sensible size.

This is the problem with VR. Non-crazies aren't crazy enough to work on it.

>>421824080
As the guy that usually complains about this in the general, are you too dense to decide that yourself from images and videos? Do you need our validation?

>>421834462
So you're the one who usually complains about this? Not that I care.
Either way, you should know that seeing pictures and videos is much different from actually playing the game in vr.

>>421835085
I'm not fond of the 3D anime style in general, not just in VR, but there isn't much of a difference to me.
Game looks fun though.

How come I can't find any english language info on cluster? Its just jap vrchat, right? I guess it has to be dogshit considering the weeb population on vr ignores it.

>>421789868
I liked Skyrim a lot more as far as actual gameplay. The VR interactivity is much better due to mods with HIGGS and PLANCK letting you interact with every NPC and item, and the combat having real depth with spellsiphon letting you do sick magic combos. What really sells it for me is that there is a lot of actual handmade content. The vanilla quests are one thing, but stuff like Bruma, Project AHO, The Forgotten City, Enderal etc., can give you more quests to do than the base game many times over. Valheim is fun too but it runs much worse than Skyrim VR. I can keep 90fps in SkyrimVR as I don't use an ENB, but Valheim at the lowest settings gets maybe 40-50fps for me. I prefer that game flat honestly.

fags

niggers!

>>421861570
Whats with all these small companies looking like they are missing the kill shot on purpose? If I ever went to a trade show I'd be asking how business works, do you just fuck around and wait for a corporation to acquire you or something? Because their product is a terrible value and can't seriously compete, or it has some horrible flaw that even if I were looking at making a stupid decision with my money, I can't even get something I like.

So take this bigscreen for example. Very stripped down headset that's designed to be small and comfortable with a fantastic micro oled picture for people who already own an index and are invested in the lighthouse and controllers, have cable management etc. Doesn't have eye or face tracking, which is really gimp for enthusiasts so far but that's not what pisses me off most. They got this fucker tiny. Now I don't know much about engineering VR headsets, but if you could just put bigger lenses in it with the top and bottom chopped off and went with wider LCDs it won't produce this giant drive in theater on your face like a pimax. At this size no one is going to care if the headset is extra wide. You would have a headset that's small, looks amazing, AND breaks ground on FOV. Instead fuck you enjoy your 90 degrees.

>a lot of actual handmade content
Eh, it's hard to find actual state of art projects. Many hyped things don't live their expectations

It's all a balancing game. The big one here is that a wider headset means higher resolution, and graphics cards have all been crippled for the past decade so nothing can run at higher resolutions. That's why all this VR 2.0 stuff feels like VR 1.5. Nothing can output 90hz at a sensible resolution.

So either you have a high PPD, or you have a high FOV.

Melee in skyrim VR is atrocious and would require a complete rebuild that nobody is willing to do, if it's even possible. Are there any gun mods for skyrim VR? I wouldn't mind running around with a dwemer pistol headshotting dragons and shit, bow stuff is mediocre and magic is too slow.

I wonder if it's worth ivesting in base stations and controllers from Valve considering I have a G2 and the whole setup as far as I've seen is a massive gimmick with a bunch of dongles and bullshit. At the same time I'm waiting for an upgrade and it seems most new headsets that will be worth it will use stations. Worried if Valve announce Index 2 with new controllers and stations and I'm cucked with my old ones.

I have stations and I think it's the opposite, the market is moving towards inside out junk because retards all live in rented shitholes and are terrified of putting a few holes in their walls. Valve stopped making lighthouses, and deck makes me think they're likely combining the two to make their own stand-alone headset. HTC have never made anything but crap and they're the only other big lighthouse creator, and Pimax are falling apart.

The thing with controllers is where is there to go? You still need a large object to track that isn't covered by the hand, and Index was the best solution to that. Nobody is adding more buttons, so unless you can make controllers for half the price of Valve, which nobody seems capable of, there's no point.

Lighthouse does seem like it can result in light headsets, though, which might be important going forward. But even then, none of the old Index stuff is really coming down in price, so you're looking at paying 1k+ for VR, which is insane given how little there is on offer.

Factual and correct.

adhesive works 100% of the time btw if you buy Valve base stations.
