Lyrics: https://genius.com/Rick-astley-love-this-christmas-lyrics
This year we're producing an alternative Christmas song for the thread, this time a rendition of Love This Christmas with no changes to the lyrics.
Recording starts now and ends on the 19th of November to give the video editor time to work his magic.
Contact the recorders in game or by other means to join in, either singing the chorus, a verse or the whole thing.

Recorders:
SEA - Noxsea
EU - Karkeys, Uzugu
NA - Azuth

The more recorders the merrier, if you don't feel like you or your friends are covered by the names above, contact Karkeys to join the list of recorders.
If you want to get a feel for what the finished product will be like, here's the song from last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLWV08ftkBE

R.E.P.O VR will be hosted tomorrow 8pm CET! (19:00 utc)
I will steamlobby link invite here then and post mod install instructions later tonight and tomorrow, the setup is very EASY & QUICK.

>>546531112
I just woke up so let me finish my coffee and I'll join you on usw.

>>546531112
Plenty of that, just no Forefront

>>546531283
still waiting on a new server to open

>>546531271
Open r2modman, select REPO, downlooad REPOXR, click yes to download all dependencies, start modded game.
Also apparently there's late game joining support now so that's neat

>>546531434
They're all full?

DESPERATE FOREFROTTERS:
WE are trying us-central-652

>>546531553
I used manual download, there's no need for the mod manager, hopefully its compatible

>>546531578
There are only 4 EU servers and there haven't been any fresh ones for the past 20 minutes at least

>>546531767
the game only allows 128 players max for the EU region?
lmao

>>546531730
>WE are trying us-central-652
Cancel that= eu allmaps 740

eu 740

>>546531740
When we played Lethal Company it used r2modman so most people should have it.
You can also copypaste a modlist to share with people before the game with it which is cool.
Also did you check if the VR mod still works with the update from today? (0.3.1)
It's bugfixes bug who knows if something broke

>>546531938
>EU

https://booth.pm/en/items/7648295

Fresh all-maps EU #994 spawned.

I am once again asking for all vrchatroons to kill themselves
You are the reason why VR is being held back and looked down upon.

>>546533438
Unironically though it's being held back by the quest 2 and all the children that make up its main userbase. Unironically another 10-15 years for them to mature enough for the "core userbase" of vr to want anything other than phone game slop.

Will the Frame's mic be a downgrade from Index

>>546533760
why would it?
even the deck has a good mic and speaker setup

>>546533760
Im more worried about the speaker quality and I havent heard anyone really talk about it

stop making excuses for the trillion dollar company

it is perfectly possible and there is a large market for users who want a high end oled headset with face tracking

>>546534814
good thing the GXR exists

>>546533438
those vrchatroons are the only ones keeping this dead industry even somewhat afloat

pay your respects to the troons

>>546533760
they literally said it has the same great mic audio from the index
watch the videos with the engineers on it you idiot

>>546534814
Galaxy XR exists if you want that.
Costs over twice as much and comes with its own set of compromises though.

>>546534814
there's no good oled panels yet

>>546534814
enjoy your dim displays with ghosting caused by high duty cycles trying to fix the dimness

you disgust her.

How the fuck you guys had so many headsets?
>>546525186 (Cross-thread)
name each one and why you have that many / the reason behind each one you bought

Resonite?

>>546537002
I've got two;

an OG HTC vive. Bought it 9 years ago.

And an Vive Pro. A gift from my buddy.
It was cheaper for him to buy a vive pro and lighthouses than buy the lighthouse.

I'd borrow his index and knuckles, but he doesn't want me gooning in vrc.

>>546537450
>I'd borrow his index and knuckles, but he doesn't want me gooning in vrc.
what a noble soul.

>>546514395 (Cross-thread)
>Resonite started, join uzugu

>>546535904
Doubt it, Anon. There aren't many things that could disgust that pervert.

>>546419683 (Cross-thread)
Has WRC been alright post-Codemasters acquisition by EA? Not touched the series in years, but if I can VR it up via some means, I'd grab the latest.

I got kicked out and now there are no EU servers wtf? And all my frens are gone, join game dont work btw.

>>546525003 (Cross-thread)
>>546537002
>How many headsets do you own?
>an ancient rift devkit someone was throwing out
I didn't know a lot about VR at the time and it's way too old to be useful now. When I wanted to get into VR I tried looking at it and realized it'd take a lot of work and setup and is too low spec to be very useful.
>a quest 3 I bought last year

I kind of want the frame when it comes out but it'd be a very wasteful purchase. I think what I'd want to see more is an off-the-shelf eye tracking kit for the quest and ability to replace the awful MetaOS with something better, but sadly neither exists. I really love VR but don't actually spend that much time with my headset on. If I was using my headset daily I could justify spending a lot more.

>>546538870
It's over.

It's up
https://www.nexusmods.com/readyornot/mods/6914?tab=description

forefronters spare slots on 740

>>546538798
And yet.

>>546537002
in roughly the right order:
>Oculus Rift DK1
didn't kickstart, bought after so didn't get free cv1
used a good bit to demo VR to friends and family early
>Oculus Rift CV1
liked Oculus and went with their offering despite no controllers
used often
>HTC Vive
ended up wanting FBT and hybrid playspaces weren't working well at the time
used often
>Valve Index
the standard lighthouse ecosystem upgrade
used often
>Oculus Quest 1
to test out wireless
not used often
>Oculus Quest 2
to test out wireless
not used often
>Pimax 5k Super
had a deal that made it cost the same as an Index HMD so took a chance, it sucked on many levels
not used often
>Vive Pro Eye
to test full setup with Vive face tracker and eyes together, was too much of a downgrade back from index to stick with for me in several aspects
not used often
>PICO 4 Pro
to test out wireless with eyes+face, it doesn't work on my wifi 7 router (wifi 7 modes are all disabled), so it's a brick until a firmware update happens
not used often
>Meta Quest Pro
to test out wireless with eyes+face based on shilling here, i hate this thing for several reasons; thankfully got a firmware update so it works on my new network setup but did break initially
not used often
>Bigscreen Beyond
lighthouse upgrade option from Index
worked very well for me after one replacement unit due to wrong IPD
>Bigscreen Beyond 2e
better optics and eyetracking
is my daily driver currently
>Apple Vision Pro (2025)
to test with and experience 4k uOLED with top tier specs
there's not much software for it, so its limited by that and Apple's dumb decisions regarding lack of arkit

the honorable non-vr mention:
>XREAL One Pro
because it basically lets me make my steam deck screen go to my face, was an early dose of what Steam Frame ideas might be
neat, but limited as its just a display mirror

the non-honorable mentions:
>Arpara 5k
scamstarter, no refunds
>DecaGear
scamstarter, but they put out a hip tracker I never unboxed and only charged for that

>>546539391
737 actually visible

Nice team balance, faggots,

>>546540095
be the balancing factor you want to see.

>>546535068
>Galaxy XR
downgrade

Just learned there is a free prefab that allows you to adjust limb lengths in-game to improve full body tracking. Arms too short? Legs too long?

Doing it in Blender is reasonably complicated so if you're interested this seems like a much better way to try. nanochip.gumroad.com/l/avatarlimbscaling

fent friday more like

>>546541367
I like this for the idea of nailing the lengths in game and then transferring to Blender so that you can better match clothing.

>>546541367
I don't know why something like this isn't just part and parcel of VRC. Just allow torso/limb scaling up to 15% or something on a per-avatar basis, and make it a saved setting.

>>546541524
forefront friday!

>>546533759
nah, kids use every technology today. PCs, tablets, phones, consoles, portables....you name it- only thing that give a bad taste for VR acceptance is degenerate troons and 'vibe' they gave it. Trust me, I know from business perspective.
>>546534953
false, they are making a mockery of it and should quite literary put a bullet inside their degenerate brains

bsb2 or steam frame?

>>546542243
steam frame
bsb2 will burn your house down

>>546542312
oh god, is bsb2 the new 5090.

>vrc servers sharted the bed
its meowover...

I don't know why some of you morons bitch about- steam frame is superior to all similar devices and for these things on the standalone side:
>SD Card slot
none exist with that as far as I know
>native Linux (Arm) Steam OS
that opens path to so so so many things
>Steam Library/Client
untold number of games that can be played in projected (frame) screen and god know how many that can be ported to VR (3dof/6dof) if I know Valve they probably have plans for that
If not, community will surely fill in the blanks
>Support for android/arm and x86 games/softwaree
Both legally and piracy is an option and MUCH easier than any other currently
>Valve support and backing
Of all big companies who could make a VR headset they are the ones I'd trust most

On the streaming side:
>High quality dongle included
no need for expensive router- it just werks
>Steam Controller reciever included in it
Superior for most PC only games

Two flaws I see in it is the LCD screen and monochromatic cameras. To me personally they are small issues as I don't use passtrought and LCD may be acctually good.

I closed the game but I still hear the bomb siren in my head.

I everyone resooning now.. is vrc... finally.. dead?

>>546542141
I honestly think degenerates are a small minority of VRC users but that no VRC content gets any traction on tiktok or youtube unless it's
>trolling publics
>twerking in a Very Poor TDA/Booth
>exposé of the week of some VRC "groomer" who 9 times out of 10 did their grooming off-platform or it was between two adults with an age gap
>video essays on how much VRC sucks because of the above

>>546543974
Yes... It's finally over

>>546543974
I'm not resoniting, but I did get off vrc just now because I had infinite loading screen though

>>546543454
Wow, it's an upgraded Q3 launching years after the Q3. It's exactly what leaks suggested, but it's also not worth upgrading from a Q3 to and is on the edge of being outdated on release because you already have medium-end headsets that blow it out of the water spec-wise other then they're not running Linux natively.

>>546544125
Using vr chat is a degenerate act. Especially with avatars that do not represent your own gender.

https://vrch.at/x6e7d2kq

Resonite Refugee Friday is now up!

>>546544239
No, you total moron. Meta isa fucking retarded company that is behind shit like facebook and instagram and is represented by a fucking lizard faced zuck cuck
Valve is a company FOR gaming making platforms and hardware for gaming.
Just based on those 2 even if they sell identical hardware wise headsets- Valve is a clear winner.

And frame is much better than q3

But that is beyond your understanding

>>546543454
The Steam Frame would have been more interesting to me if I could dock it like a SteamDeck, and use it like a traditional PC. It'd have been an all-in-one VR/gaming/desktop experience, even if it's limited on the 3d power side of things.

>>546543454
>SD Card slot
there is no usecase
>native Linux (Arm) Steam OS
there is no usecase
>Steam Library/Client
every other headset already have access to this
>Support for android/arm and x86 games/softwaree
there is no usecase, it cannot actually run meta games as it requires proprietary calls
>Valve support and backing
valve has a track record for abandoning shit on a whim, this is not a positive
>High quality dongle included
was never an issue
>Steam Controller reciever included in it
there is no usecase

>b-b-but monochromatic camera and LCD
anyone squealing about this are clueless and just parroting what they hear from ecelebs, it does not matter at all

>b-b-but
valve is only producting 400000 units, they know themselves that it will not sell because they know themselves its not a competitive headset
the only interesting part of it is the software part and most of that is not exclusive to the frame but will work with any headset

>>546543454
>>546511990 (Cross-thread)

>>546544576
>no, you don't understand, it's magically better because Gaben touched it with his dick
>meanwhile, Meta is spying on me even if I don't let it talk to the internet

I dislike Facebook and like Valve as a company, but it's amusing to see actual cultists

>>546544804
>there is no usecase, it cannot actually run meta games as it requires proprietary calls

github.com/ovrport/app

>>546544804
That's nice but I'm going to enjoy my frame while you sit on whatever not playing any vr games

gg'ies froonters

New humble vr slop bundle droped.

Swatting heliniggers out of the sky feels so good.

>>546543454
>no need for expensive router- it just werks
Can't wait to see the price that dongle adds to the overall package for those of us that don't need it.

>native Linux (Arm) Steam OS
My worry here is battery life, given Steam Deck already barely holds 2-3hrs on any real gaming. Frame strap at least allows daisy chaining a battery off the battery, but I'd have preferred a more elegant solution.

>SD Card slot
It's a regular-ass slot. Not even high-speed. You know what I hate the most in VR? Load times.

I am morbidly curious what the performance penalty of FEX is though. Would be funny to see someone get vanilla Crysis 1 going on it though.

>>546544576
nta but you're just wrong. It's by no means a clear winner or loser until we know the price.
You're competing with a $350 headset. To my understanding everyone is expecting the frame to be above $500. Even just at $500 that's quite the price hike for no face tracking. It might be worth it for new people coming in who have nothing, but otherwise I can't see how you justify that.

>>546544767
It's a linux, you can "dock" it or stream it.
>>546544804
>>546545041
Such cope lmao, I wonder how much cocks you suck in free time

So many fucking shills here, steamframe is as open as possible and can be as separated from it's maker as anything can be.
It is a fucking linux ffs, you will probably be bel to install ubuntu on it
I cannot comprehend that anyone besides retards and shills would say that is not a MAJOR upside of a frame

>>546545286
i too am going to buy a frame though
im just not acting completely delusional about it

>>546546007
We'll never have a good Humble VR bundle again. Also I'm sure a couple of these are a repeat as well since I have them already.

>>546546162
lmao
kek
Go read up on and research the frame and come back please.

>>546546265
very inciteful!

>>546546239
>It's a linux, you can "dock" it or stream it.
It'll depend on how strong the video encoder is on the device itself. The only thing we get with it is a mystery PCIe port, and a USB-C that only handles USB2 speeds of data, which would only be good for KB&M at that point.

>>546546348
I'm not poor and I can afford the best headset on the market for only $800. It's a no brainer.

>>546546428
>mystery PCIe port
not really a misery it is I/O so both input and output and that included 2.5gbs video

>>546546430
you sound more like a comsoomer than a retired richfag.

>>546546007
plastic battlegrounds is getting multiplayer soon, and elements divided is fun, might be worth just for that

>>546546098
Vanilla Crysis 1 runs on Pico 4 Ultra using Winlator, with framedrops, but runs. Steam Frame is faster, so it might?

>>546546583
Maybe, but it'll be my first new headset in 6 years

>>546546007
plastic battlegrounds is still goat. it doesn't even need mp and I doubt I'll bother with mp once it drops. just one of those games to step back into your childhood every now and then.

>>546546239
>cannot comprehend that anyone besides retards and shills would say that is not a MAJOR upside of a frame
Okay mr. smarty pants.
Now explain specifically why it is such a major upside.
How exactly do (you) plan on utilizing this obviously OP feature.

>>546547427
Me on the left

>>546547427
me going for the worm

>its a linux

>>546547695
go on, don't hold back

linux needs to rebrand the penguin with tranime

I will actually cum in my panties if I can play Far Cry 5 in VR and it's good

>>546547695
For me it's Konqi.

>>546547427
not that anon, but if I bought I frame I'd use it to completely replace my windows laptop, in addition to VR use.

I'm hoping steam frame can reignite my love for VR. I had a lot of fun tinkering with my quest2/3/pro but everything was always hacks and meta would eventually kill it. Stuff like being able to hack in a custom home environment. A whole community sprang up making those for a couple years till meta quashed it. They even killed off the streaming home and forced me to sit in a featureless void because they hate pcvr and only want good little goys buying games for standalone and socializing in their corpo hellscape. I say this as a huge Quest Pro shill that hasn't touched their Index since because of the optic stack.

>>546548132
That's actually incredibly wise, I hadn't thought about it that way.
I fricken love steam!!

>>546548146
Bruh. I have no clue what you're hoping for with the frame.

If I didn't already have my Quest 2 kitted out with hotswappable batteries and a good-enough wireless system, I'd be more interested in a Steam Frame. Least it's nice that there's finally an option that isn't Meta or Pico in that realm, AND I can play HOMM3 on it.

The Q though is how long before someone gets Quest exclusives running on it, since it's just glorified Android applications in the end.

>>546544427
I only came in as I thought we were playing Magic the Gathering tonigh. I am hoping we still may.

That was some kino Medic X Assault comradier on the little house there last map.
GG Forefronters!

>>546548343
To be able to actually utilize a standalone headset as cool tool or device for anything I set my mind to instead of a plastic toy that shows me zogslop for entertainment. An actual computer that sits on my head and beams images directly to my eyeballs instead of braindead zombie smartphone hellscape simulator????

>>546549129
What stops your from doing that already exactly? I've got my quest set on auto-connect to my desktop when I put it on. I never really see the meta UI shit or environement and it would be exactly the same if I had the frame.
Never had to interact with Horizon ever. Don't know where your schizo rambling is coming from.

>>546548343
It's going to basically be the only VR headset that you can do productivity on with software of your choice, rather than what your built-in web browser can handle.

>>546547427
Port the OS to android phones, at least portion for playing games.
Use my own Linux distro on it, even more optimized for my usecase.
Use a custom launcher for all my pirated content.
Make software for it.
Tinker with it like you do with Linux.
And million of things Linux in general can do that you will not understand.

>>546549129
I actually forgot this was what VR/AR was all about at the start. I first learned about VR stuff with the google glass project and was super excited to have something as more of a utility over gaming console.

Okay linux is huge

>>546549474
Unhinged Indexfag comment.

>>546549464
STANDALONE
That's why I got a refurbed quest 2 when I already had an Index. It's a computer! On my head! It talks to me!!!
I got minecraft running. Just because it was cool! I got emulators running. Just because it was cool! The whole world was IN MY HAT

>>546549810
I use the web browser a fair bit on my Quest 2, but I'm more than likely in the minority on that. Discord works through it as well.

>>546549963
I can do all that a lot easier on my desktop PC with a headset attached to it, so that novelty of being standalone for the sake of standalone is lost on me.

>>546549474
it cannot do productivity, it doesnt have the resolution and PPD to do it
you are delusional

>>546550272
Any other situation if I'm moving around a lot, that would make me want some form of computing device on me, I'll have a laptop for, or potentially a GabeCube if a sane portable keyboard+display solution comes out.

we got steam frame at home!

>>546547427
I will literary use it as a fucking computer, not some meta gimmicks for "productivity"

>>546550459
Oh no, I guess I'll have to increase the DPI on what's being rendered! Almost as if we never had to do productivity at 800x600 resolutions in the past.

>>546550272
Attached to a PC it's just a funny monitor that makes my eyes hurt and my stomach upset. I already tinker with my PC. Adding funny monitor is interesting but not that interesting.

>>546547973
sex with all of them

>>546550624
How is that any better than virtual desktop? Is portability what you're looking for here?

>>546551270
The only thing chaining your head computer to your desk computer does is give you more power to play video games. Interesting computer things do not require power to render anime bimbo jiggly backsides. Simply do not turn on desk computer. Wow. Amazing. Check out my helmet dood.

>>546551270
They are just looking for an excuse, I really don't see a scenario where using this is better than a phone, I guess privacy in public but not even that because it has no headphones or jack, only speakers so people will be able to hear you gooning.

>>546551884
If you do not connect to a pc, all you have a is a weak phone with a terrible input (good luck doing anything quickly with vr controllers).

>>546552103
Smartphones are EVIL. I do not use them. It runs a real COMPUTER OS. I spit on your stupid sheepslate. Weak is relative. It's running linux, not some stupid bread and circus premium dung M$ garbage. It's a powerhouse compared to most of the machines I entertain myself with.

>>546552780
anon you should temper your expectations
the Frame is weaker than the Deck for anything it runs locally

>>546551884
My takeaway is this, if you're interested in Linux and doing cool Linux stuff, this is going to be awesome to play around with. However, functionality wise it doesn't actually provide anything you couldn't do before through a wireless connection.

>>546553028
>the Frame is weaker than the Deck for anything it runs locally
This is the thing I think a lot of people don't realize. Steam Frame was BUILT with PCVR streaming as its primary use, and battery budgeted around. Anything else is just added value, which I'm not against, but it's not a selling point for me.

>>546552780
I agree with you that phones are just toys, but if your needs can be met by such a weak device, then a cheap laptop would suffice, the frame adding nothing feature wise.
If anything it just makes for a worse experience, no input, small battery (it has not hot swappable batteries and if you are going to be tethered to a wall what is the point?) and ignoring the meta influence, nothing that you could not do with a laptop and a quest 3 already

>>546553195
To follow up, the best use case I can think of for this feature is bringing it on a flight with some Bluetooth headphones so you can do whatever you want in privacy.

That's pretty cool, but not a major item.
I will say though, things like this are a huge green flag for any product being released. features that they didn't really NEED to add but were added anyway because fuck it we love gimmicks. That is a trend only seen in good product lines.

R.E.P.O VR (saturday 8pm cet)

The setup is very easy, you need 3 mods (manual download):
https://new.thunderstore.io/c/repo/p/BepInEx/BepInExPack/
https://new.thunderstore.io/c/repo/p/DaXcess/RepoXR/
https://new.thunderstore.io/c/repo/p/DaXcess/FixPluginTypesSerialization/

>extract them whereever
>put the contents of the 1st mod in list, the BepInExPack mod folder, into steamapps/common/REPO
>put the contents of the folder of the other two mods into steamapps/common/REPO
(anything that gets overwritten/skipped is whatever)

Meet you then for some spooky VR kino!

>>546553028
Okay I don't think you understand. I used a raspberry pi 400 as my main desktop for like 6 months and the only reason I stopped was because the new blender 3.0 was coming out and I really wanted to practice (rpi400 lacks full opengl support, just embedded). For just playing around you don't even need rpi400 power.
>>546553195
I assume by functionality you mean playing VR games which has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.
>>546553646
I have so many old laptops it's a mental illness. What I don't have is a freaking computer helmet.

>>546553195
I'm curious how much of a pain it'll be to interact with the camera sensors directly. Eg. To do your own AR solution, perhaps with colour overlaid from a PCIe driven camera (like Quest 3 does)

>>546554091
how many players max is a lobby?

>>546554254
you also should understand that the Frame is an ARM device running ARM Linux
sure it has Proton layers for x86->ARM, but that doesn't mean everything will work
its a device that will mostly run very light x86 apps and sideloaded APKs when it isn't being used to stream from a host PC

>>546554376
6 by default but there's a mod that allows for more
not sure how it would work with way more players though since the game has per player upgrades and you need to share money

>>546554254
How was the RPi400 for general web usage? My father's old PC is several years out of date, and I have had my eye on the 500 version to replace his tower with just a keyboard.

>>546554376
>>546554653
I tested it, the mod is out of date, it doesn't allow me to change the cap

>>546554254
>I assume by functionality you mean playing VR games

No, I meant what's the point in having a Linux computer strapped to your head as opposed to streaming a computer to your face monitor

I believe the answer here is
>Wow. Amazing. Check out my helmet dood.

>>546554775
RoboUnion doesn't work? It had an update last week

You can't call people sheep for using a phone but then say normalfag stuff like this, may as bell get excited for changing the face plate of your steam box with a funko pop design or something

Not sure if I'll make it to any hanchan today. Didn't get wage-cucked this time, so I'll be playing some IRL Mahjong.
Have fun guys.

Do you not know what a raspberry pi 400 is?
>>546554673
Web is always the pain point for low end systems. The 500 might be okay with one of the higher RAM options. Be very careful what you're getting into if you've never used an rpi before. They've gotten to potential desktop replacement for casual users but doing that for someone else without experience yourself might be sketchy. . I must confess I bought one but I received my new computer (framework desktop 128GB) the next day so I've barely used it.
>>546554958
you're probably closer to understanding than anyone else I guess
>>546555242
It speaks but doesn't form words.
I'm merely trying to impress upon you the flavor of my excitement. Curated parasite blood sucking onions green horror rectangles that feed you funny pictures in exchange for your soul aren't remotely the same thing as a computer.

NA - 10:30 PM EST


EVERYONE in /vrg/ is Invited to come enjoy this merriest of VR tradition 8 years long coming and that includes (You)

>>546556484
Might be worth it then. These days a linux minipc would be cheaper and more powerful though. Kinda sad.

>>546556572
is it too late for christmas card submissions? I don't think I saved the template...

>>546557074
It's too late for signups for it The one where you are assigned someone randomly and you get one in return from someone else anonymously but you can still submit one from the goodness of your heart to someone specific or to everyone your call. I'll place them all in the map

Here's the template PNG if you don't want to bother with the unitypackage file. New template is made by K A anon. It can be used as a modular avatar thing as well and attach it to avatars if you want (optional)
Note: You only have to send in the PNG

>>546556932
It's the problem with modern Windows, especially 11. Just too much analytics/garbage running behind the scenes that causes sporadic CPU spikes/RAM usage. God forbid if it tries to process updates in the background on anything not a gaming rig.

>>546557703
>>546557880
thanks anon

what were they thinking with monochrome passthrough cameras?

>>546559641
It's like nightmare vision goggles: you won't even notice it because everything looks exactly the same. But when you launch a game it feels more fun in contrast.

>>546559641
I really don't know. You'd think "giant screen floating in your room" would be something they'd consider a lot more interesting to people than the empty black void it throws you in in VR instead.

>>546560006
hopefully some good static valve game inspired rooms to play in so you dont need to look at the black and white outside

>>546559641
the realisation that you cannot use it as a spatial computer anyway because the PPD is 1/4 of what is required
but canning the entire feature wouldnt make any sense, the same way it technically allows you to run things locally even though it doesnt have the power to actually do so with anything of value

>>546560438
Half the point of passthrough for me is so I can do things like pick up my beverage or take a piss without having to take the headset on and off, a virtual environment for a flatscreen game is pointless to me

>>546559641
They were thinking that passthrough is a silly gimmick that would be better left off to fit more useful features into their target price.

>>546554091
why dont you use r2modman

>>546559641
maybe they're true monochrome sensors. for example, leica makes their DSLRs in true monochrome version, no color filter equals insane sensor performance because color filter reduces the amount of light captured by sensor. tracking will probably do well with no colors because it's not all that much of an useful information, and the signal it works with will improve quite a lot, especially low light

>>546559641
If someone develops a flip-up strap for it I can live with it. Steam frame as a whole, both in hardware and software is just one big, high-quality canvas. The price, whatever it will be, can only be justified by whatever the community creates in the aftermath.

>>546559641
kino
the focus is on the games

>>546559641
>passthrough cameras
Anon i just use them to get my bearings and recenter. I'm not gonna use them for anything else.

>>546561617
They're really good for a floating desktop or game on your couch or bed.
Volvo really fucked up on that one.

>>546555038
>>546554376
it works! (hopefully) unlimited player cap. Only the host needs this mod so nothing changes for >>546554091

you can also instead use the mod manager r2modman and download REPO XR and its 2 dependencies.
>>546560738

also for the mutes: it has a very well integrated chat.
https://litter.catbox.moe/hcohd42ncnubayfq.mp4

>>546559641
Could they be hitting a hardware limit on concurrent cameras for the Snapdragon 8 and so reusing the front facing ones was the only option? I think it's better to have a wider tracking volume than better passthrough if given the choice. XR2 gen 2 for example boasts supporting 10 cameras and while it does have dedicated XR hardware I don't know if that increases the number of cameras supported as I thought it was mostly for depth and tracking.

>>546562169
>hardware limit on concurrent cameras for the Snapdragon 8
what does that mean for the cope about the community adding a face tracking and passthrough module in the extension port?

>>546559641
Probably going the full in vr route. or if you want, get the color camera addon :^)

>>546561790
and eating

>>546562169
>Could they be hitting a hardware limit on concurrent cameras for the Snapdragon 8
Snapdragon 8 can handle more sensors at once than is even necessary. It more boils down to battery life concerns. If you want colour passthrough, there'll likely be a 3rd-party webcam add-on for the front PCIe port to project colour into the passthrough space, like how Quest 3/Pro already do it.

All I want is a VR headset with a fucking flick-up display. None of this passthrough nonsense.

>>546543454
One thing that I have a doubt is about how long the battery will last?
Batteries are always an issue specially if you can't swap them for another one / get a new one
That's why I like that it uses AA batteries for the controllers, but the headset makes me wonder

>>546565142
it does not use AA batteries for controllers it has rechargeable unit
And the battery is 5800mah and uses about 7 w for stream and up to 30 w for standalone.
So play time is anywhere from 3.5-1h

>>546561790
luckily he's playing genshin and not anything that actually requires intensive inputs
>inb4 intensive inputs on controllers lmao

>>546565859
Works fine for most games for me. Desktop latency is 10ms~
As long as you pair your controller with your PC instead of the headset then it's all gucci and doesn't feel laggy at all. Haven't tried hardcore platformer like super meat boy or anything but I guess they might be challenging. I know that when I tried the original steam link like a decade ago they were unplayable via streaming.

>>546565392
>it does not use AA batteries for controllers it has rechargeable unit
From Valve's own page.

>>546565392
>it does not use AA batteries for controllers
Man there is a lot of people here since the Frame announcement just straight up spouting completely inaccurate information

>>546566179
>>546566761
sorry, i meant you are talking about steam controller not frame headset controller. idk why

Holy FUCK
STOP SHOVING THIS SHIT IN MY FACE
Every single fucking time I open up the game it's just non-stop tranny and LGBTQ+ shit right in your face.
I don't even give a fuck about gay people but the tranny pandering is so over the top it's getting annoying.
Surely even normies are starting to get sick of this too?

>>546567083
i think your menu is broken dude

>>546567213
My menu is broken and it needs gay conversion therapy, pronto

>>546567083
bees are trans because they're incredibly aggressive and when they sting they kill themselves

>>546567083
>I don't even give a fuck about gay people but the tranny pandering is so over the top it's getting annoying.
Just infiltrate the VRTrain community and build a documentary showcasing the shit you come across to Youtube. That'll make VRC change it's mind about what it should be blasting to every kid's Quest 3.

>>546567083
this whole charity is a scam reminder

>>546569817
what the fuck does any of that jargon even mean

>>546569817

>>546567083
>Surely even normies are starting to get sick of this too?
Normies don't play VRChat anon. Trannies, furries, and questkiddies are the only things keeping it alive.

>>546564881
is that some hamburger helper?

>>546569817
Wait so I can just call myself a black tranny and get "hair removal" money gibs?

>>546570564
they ran out of money

>>546569817
so what you're saying is if I incorporate and put up a bunch of ridiculous, deranged, mentally-ill college wokeism slopwords on a website I can get furry VR money for doing NOTHING? sweet deal

>>546571756
You also must first provide proof that you are loyal to israel

>>546571850
tranny flag is synonymous with the flag of kikeistan of course

Half Life 3 will be announced within a few weeks and will come with the Frame and Machine. The gimmick will be you can play it on both flatshit and in VR.

>>546575045
in exactly two weeks actually

>>546575045
Yeah, I feel like this headset would have gone down a bit easier if that said "oh by the way We've got a bunch of 3d180 modes for games" including the new half life at the end

>>546575380
blud just got assassinated

>>546575812
>Oh btw TF2 has proper native VR support now alongside standalone on Frame

>>546575953
Hasn't tf2 had VR viewmodels for like +10 years by now?

>>546576535
It is very barebones, no tracked controllers.

Reminder that pool is still on for tomorrow at 10pm EST/3am UTC/9pm central/8pm mountain/7pm west coast. Please come play or just hang out and put some tunes on. I think I have a solution to youtube's continual bullshit/failed to load errors, we'll see how this works out

some days are bad tracking days

The real question about Frame's passthrough is will it have a similar feature to the Quest where double-tapping the side of the headset activates it.
Because if it doesn't and you have to go fucking about in menus to activate it it's useless.

Should i buy thrill of the fight 1 or 2?
>>546580005
is it quest compatible?

>>546581710
willing to bet it'll be double tap of steam button like index/vive

>>546580681
which trackers do you have, robro?

>>546581732
If it's the Pool Parlor map like it was when I went, yea, it's Quest compatible.

>>546581732
>>546582845
I was going to use my own shitty world but fuck it, would be nice to go back to pool parlor. Yep we're quest compatible now.

>>546582209
unimotion

they are so picky about what batteries are put in them and have a lot of issues when the voltage starts dropping but do a really good job some of the time. I don't think they are that bad but If I were buying trackers now I'd spend more money to get something better.

It sucks that IMU tech has barely progressed in recent years. More-so now that there's going to be another generation of VR users with Steam Frames who can't use the tried&true base station solution. Not without coughing up $500+ extra in hardware anyways.

https://vrch.at/7fznb7v9 we finished manual mahjong, here's good ol' auto table mahjong on an0n's cool palace map, couple of people waiting on side for a hanchan

>>546583790

will there be a 25 days of /a/utism groupwatch

>>546586778
Will this include the disappearance of suzumiya haruhi on Dec 16?

>>546587013
that happens right before /a/utism iirc

>>546585569
Most IMU trackers are boutique products made by enthusiasts and there just isn't the development money like there has been for lighthouse tracking, except at the very highest end of IMU tracking, but then it costs similar to lighthouse trackers. Are they actually good? I have no idea. Most VRC whales didn't start with a quest so they have lighthouses already, so they probably don't know either.

>>546586224
I don't have any lighthouses...

>>546585746
That model is uncanny as shit, and not in a good way. Why are the lips so detailed yet not the rest of the skin? Why is the hair flat coloured when the outfit is PBR?

>>546586778
we usually do one for the first night of it/spontaneous nights of it here and there later in the month
the stream's too shit these days to be worth the effort though

>>546588141

>>546588504
last year was kinda meh, yeah. guilty crown was insanely fun though lmao

>>546560808
That's a good point. They probably just designed it for camera-based controller tracking, and then enabled passthrough with what they already needed anyway.

>>546587441
The big money players did try IMU and concluded an IMU-only product wasn't viable, as they'll always need some other mechanism for real time correction.

its worrying that they showed it running some 2D game and not a HL:Alyx demo or something like that
i said ill get deckard if it can run alyx i guess ill keep that condition

Anime grill goldfishes legacy reanimator deck. Just as keikaku, the network syncing does mostly work.

>>546589348
is this...good game design somehow in vrchat?

So who was asking for a Vampire Survivors VR port again?

>>546560808
I heard it's because they are IR cameras that don't get information about visible color. The reviews said the camera tracking keeps working even dark rooms.

>>546588791
I am worried that if I were to spend for high end IMU trackers I'd end up running into the same problems and wishing I'd spent 1000+ for a lighthouse tracking setup.

>>546589348
I'm gonna make a dakimakura with you on it

third week with no na karaoke

>>546589625
UDON is very powerful as long as you are fine working around it's limitations VRC is the best sandbox for any aspiring VR gamedev right now for prototyping

>>546589348
Man this will be so nice to play, I should bug you to try it out sometime

PlaY AMHJONG!!!

>>546538356
More than 8h in resonite, that was surely fun, thanks everyone for coming!

>>546589904
Yeah, if you haven't tested the high end IMUs out yourself before spending anything, I don't recommend buying any. I'd be surprised if they worked well enough. As for the Frame cameras, they do use an IR emitter to illuminate dark rooms, so they at least have IR capability. I don't know the camera specs so I can't tell beyond that.

>>546590421
???
literally happens every single friday bro and has for the past 3 weeks too

>>546591117
Nope. Maybe in your discord circles but there hasn't been an actual /vrg/ North American karaoke on friday for at least 2 weeks.

>>546591215
it's still happening even without the thread posts idk what to tell you

>>546589108
They said it can't run Alyx at an acceptable framerate standalone lol.

>>546591337
Source?

>>546591383
No, Source 2

>>546591337
Given my 1060gtx ran Alyx "good enough", that would have to put a Steam Frame at around a 950/960 at best? Give or take some lowered clocks because it's mobile hardware w/ thermal thresholds to worry about.

>>546591315
You're incorrect. The last Karaoke hosted for NA hours, hosted by a person in the community in friends+ was on October 31st, last month. And even then, it only got started around 3am est.

Any other instances since have been EU hours or deep SEA hours. I'm sorry but reality doesn't bear our your claims.

>>546591857
sounds like you werent invited to it

either way its ok, you guys can survive without karaoke happening for 72 hours straight on weekends every weekend

>>546591767
its weaker than a Steam Deck

>>546591948
Sorry man, but one or two of your yellownames being in a public karaoke instance doesn't make it a /vrg/ karaoke, and neither does an invite only discord group meet.

>>546592018
copeacabana my man, maybe you'll get an invite this weekend but not with that attitude

>>546591954
And the Deck was around 1050 levels. That's really going to limit the kind of 2d games you could play on it in the last decade that aren't simpler indie titles that already were toaster friendly.

Least I should be able to play Heroes of Might & Magic on it without issue, since that was primarily a mouse drive game.

>>546592095
Man no wonder you anti-karaoke guys seethe so much if you're inventing karaoke instances that never happened to fuel your delusions.

>>546590819
Brain too small to learn it I'm afraid

>>546590979
Are y'all going to be doing more resonite events or should I just not bother trying to check it out?

I was not expecting the difference to be this substantial bros, very excited for this upgrade

>>546593332
Never underestimate professionals

>>546593332
looks way better

>>546593332
from 1999 to 1985

>>546593332
Some MMDs can be the quality of the right but yeah, game rips generally better. The guys making those game models are probably some of those who first were making those high quality MMDs anyways, or vica versa.

it seems that valve has no interest in making one of these which is too bad because i need one since im a baby

>>546588540
Time to trace the footsteps of blue robo anon and do some world touring.

>>546590819
damn I can't believe I look that cute.

>>546593332
The MMD folk did good with what they had to work with back in the day.
But yeah obvious night and day difference in quality, good job on the rip.

So the frame will be a good headset and amazing all-rounder, but it's a "first gen" of valve's new headsets, and you shouldn't even bother if you already have a quest 3.
Did I get that right?

>>546594562
gAY!!!!!

>>546585746
lets play on sunday :)

>>546597165
Listen man, being surrounded by trannies isn't the problem.
I mean it also is a problem, but I can choose to not be in instances with trannies. I can choose to block trannies. I can choose to just interact with only my friends and do cool things in VR with them.

But this kind of shit where it's forced by the developers in all of the menus and is so in your face, is something I no longer have the option to avoid.

It is being actively displayed to me any time I log on the game. I get that VRChat thinks that troons are its main userbase and it has to advertise to that, but trannies are a minority of a minority. Throwing them a bone during LBGTQ+ month or whatever is one thing but the constant tranny advertisements in the menu throughout the entire year is ridiculous.

>>546595663
> you shouldn't even bother if you already have a quest 3
depends on how much you care about not running facebook os on your face

>>546598020
If you cared enough to get an entirely different, more expensive headset, you probably wouldn't have bought the quest 3 in the first place

Why are you getting so mad that LGBT people are hosting their own events? If you're only playing with your friends you have no reason to even check the public calender for events. Such a non issue

>>546599657
First off, look at the first OP this chain started off of and you'll see I'm talking about LGBT tranny shit being advertised in my menu as a banner advertisement, you don't even have to go searching for it.

Secondly, the calendar was originally launched as a way for you to check when events are happening in the groups you joined.
Recently, they made a change that pushes random groups (that you aren't even a part of) events to your calendar as well instead of just the group events you're a part of. And wow what a coincidence that 80% of the random group events you arent part of is a bunch of LGBT tranny shit.
10% is something else
The other 10% was the 18 year old's birthday party that got sent to everyone last weekend (lmao)

>play tranny game
>act surprised when you see gay people

>>546599657

>>546600546
you think you're on the left but you're on the right

>>546600021
The main banner is to some scammy charity, big deal just ignore it.

There's a seperate event calendar just for your group events and imo the public events aren't THAT in favour of LGBT shit. Seems just that one group hosts 3 seperate events daily which kind of scews it but there seem to be a few normal events presented aswell.

>>546598238
you mean like a steam frame

>>546601450
>big deal just ignore the thing that appears literally every single time you open up your menu (you open up your menu like 80 times per night minimum)

>There's a seperate event calendar just for your group events and imo the public events
And it didn't used to be that way.
There is NO reason to have this public event bullshit that is curated only to tranny and LGBTQ+ groups to advertise to.

Stop defending shitty ridiculous pandering by the development team.
Going out of your way to get angry about tranny features is one thing, yeah.
But with the way it's been featured so much in your face that you don't even need to go looking for it, I mean come on man it's ridiculous.

They were thinking that they weren't selling the headset to people who buy monitors for the wall behind it.

If seeing stuff outside of VR is so important to you in a VR headset, consider taking the headset off. Or buying a different headset.

To expand on this - this isn't just "2D screen in VR", it's proper built ground up for VR port, isometric view has proper scaling, there are 3D environment backdrops, the game view has 3D decorations around, UI is slightly scaled and positioned correctly, particles and animations have depth and proper 3D and sound is definitely remixed for Quest speakers.
It's pretty high effort port which is why it's so much more mind boggling that it came out of nowhere, no announcement, nothing.

>I heard it's because they are IR cameras that don't get information about visible color. The reviews said the camera tracking keeps working even dark rooms.
Sounds like it could be a monochrome sensor, though it's not guaranteed. On one hand, those things are easy to produce, it's a normal sensor with one less layer on top, on the other hand, they're not easy to find or popular in any way or form. Could also be that they're simply using no IR filter on a normal camera, then ignoring color information somewhere early on (let's say, whatever controls cameras is running in monochrome mode for less bitrate), and then camera will work well in dark anyway as long as IR illumination blasts hard enough.

Either way, monochrome looks like a reasonable choice to me, though I'm not using passthrough so I might be missing something.

WHOOPS

ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME
HOW THE FUCK DOES THE FRAME HAVE THE SAME FOV AS THE INDEX
7 FUCKING YEAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE HEADSETS
META LITERALLY PROVED YOU CAN HAVE A WIDE FOV WITHOUT A BULKY HEADSET WITH THEIR BOBA 3
FUCK GABEN FOR BEING THIS RETARDED

>>546623000
its got smaller fov than index

>>546623000
Index had decent fov though. Frame looks meh on paper, but everything so far seems to suggest it'll be good in practical use, probably the first headset that's trying to do that.
>2k LCD display, but dedicated wireless adapter and foveated bitrate
>camera-based tracking, but infrared illuminated
>no finger tracking, but magnetic thumbsticks
If this trend follows up, I expect to see a very first headset ever that cares about making it good to use rather than making it look good in a spec sheet. Who knows, maybe they went as far as making optics without any significant optical defects like glare or color shift, and giving it a bright display that doesn't smudge. Time will tell, but I'm really optimistic about it given how many little details are already confirmed to be taken into account.

>Frame looks meh on paper, but everything so far seems to suggest it'll be good in practical use
This is a high IQ chad interpretation. Other headsets get the paper specs right then fuck up on the details.

I'm pulling the trigger on this one and a battery as well, I feel like I'm using it a lot and the heat and battery warnings are getting too annoying. What about the comfort, is it really a huge upgrade above the white elastic stock strap?

Good golfing gros!

>>546623669
my biggest worry about the frame is the audio
the speakers are in the front of the headset in the facial interface and there is no audio jack to plug in your own, the usb-c in the back is only 2.0 and doesnt support audio and its going to be mandatory for a power bank anyway
I cant see it working, there is no way it has the same spatial audio quality as the index and its gonna be a massive issue with audio leaking when you have to crank the volume to hear things properly over potential background noise

>b-but wait for some 3rd party to develop their own strap with working audio for $300+tip
yeah just like how face tracking and wireless and a bunch of other cool stuff was gonna release for the index expansion slot any day and now years later at the tail end of 2025 none of it is real. there will never be anything released for the frame either, its too difficult for hobbyists to cobble together and there is no money in it for corpos to bother with it

It's a 21.6Wh battery and the frame uses like 5-20W dependent. It's 4 hours maximum, 1 hour minimum. Not great but it charges with USB PD properly so it can be externally powered pretty easy.

>is it really a huge upgrade above the white elastic stock strap?
yes
anything is more comfy than the stock one imo
an "elite style" is more secure than the "halos" like the bobo
I use the bobo. I tried maybe 3 straps before I got the bobo and I have never desired to go back.
I like the hinge in the middle, I get it all adjusted and I just hinge/unhinge it to don/doff the hmd.
plus you can unhinge and move the hmd to your forehead so it doesn't burn the camera's on your dab rigs nail
jokes aside the hotswap batteries give you infinite use time if you diligently swap and charge them.
The weight that's on the bridge of your nose and brow gets moved to your head
feels more like a helmet or hardhat with the "halo" straps. The other popular style is like a set of goggles imo, they clamp onto your face more, but they're far more secure if you're spazzing out or doing backflips or something.

A $600+ Steam Frame doesn't make sense.

Meta Quest 3 is manufactured for around an estimate of $398 and that was 2 years ago. Frame even lacks many features of the Quest 3 in exchange for some good software and probably nice build quality. Both headsets have software stores and premium storage options that subsidize cost some.

So why is everyone saying they estimate $800 or other such crazy price ranges? I've no doubt some will shell out for it even at those prices because Valve fanfare is at an all-time high. I can't go on youtube without 12 thumbnails saying "Valve just changed everything..." So I'm sure people will brain-off and buy overpriced outdated hardware with their branding, but isn't anything above ~$500 for this kind of a ripoff?

>>546645637
you tell em, sister

>>546645637
$500 is a day 1 for me. $600-700 is a maybe, depending on testimonials. Anything higher is a no-go and I'll just get a used one, cum included.

>>546645637
There won't be enough ink for the zuckerberg apology forms if they meant the full index kit price point

>>546645637
You're so delusional, sister. Valve are at the point where they're AIMING to be less than $1000. It's borderline enough that it could be MORE.

>>546646298
ofc they meant less than index full kit lol

>>546633354
Is the contrast as bad as the Q3?

>>546646446
don't have a q3, but the contrast is worse than on a quest pro

>>546646103
$500 is day 1 for me, but $600 would make me begrudgingly consider it as a first headset. It's basically me paying over $100 just so I don't have to have a meta account and have more open hardware (not that SteamOS is open source)

Post yfw Zucc announces the Q4 with OLED for 499 the same day pre-orders for the Frame go up.

>>546647085
it's gonna be like 800-900, and maybe more for americans with china tarriff wars.

>>546646508
Quest 3's 128 model is estimated to sell at around a $30 loss, with the pricier skus actually being slightly profitable

Steam has a fucking store too, people seem to pretend like only Meta does for some odd reason

>>546647305
Meta store locks you in into meta hardware. Steam store lets' you have complete hardware freedom

>>546647305
So uh, what about RMAs, customer support, shipping, logistics, certification, etc etc?

>>546647189
why would anyone buy it at that price point?
it doesnt have any specs to justify that price and I think people saying it are completely delusional and clueless about how manufacturing works, the components in the frame are all cheap, its not possible to add it up to $900

>>546646947

>Valve is reportedly not going to be selling the Steam Machine at a loss. Because, unlike their competitors, they aren’t banking on software sales to make up the difference.

then it'll sell off the Valve branding alone, I'm sure, to dumb people with no sense or fiscal responsibility. And I'm sure it will do OK atleast, since we are living in the era of peak Valve-fan derangement, but then its just a pointless product. It doesn't compete with or convert Meta's users, just people who are already Steam fans. This graph will barely change and then Quest 4 will re-establish the gap.

>>546647392
What percentage of Steam Deck users do you think are buying games on other stores to play on their Decks? Steam doesn't need to "lock you in" but even so you can play your SteamVR games on a Meta headset anyway.

>>546647435
That $30 loss figure takes that into consideration, as well as marketing. I doubt Valve will even market their headset or need to.

>>546647558
The Steam Machine's BOM is estimated to only be around $430. They can sell it for $450 and not need to worry about taking on a substantial loss.

>>546647085
For PCVR the Frame easily adds more than $100 in value over a new $500 Quest 3. Dongle alone means you don't need a dedicated wifi 6 or 6e router. No need to buy virtual desktop to make the most of wireless PCVR. No need to buy an IR illuminator to play in the dark. Potentially no need for controller replacements or repairs due to the new sticks. I don't doubt it's more comfortable than the Q3 stock strap even if you'll probably replace both.

AR/XR features are a downgrade sure but Quest 3 doesn't have eye tracking either.

Played around some more. At around 1500x1500 with 100% resolution scaling, it's running at proper framerate on 3080ti. Very much worth a try if (You)'re interested, UEVR is one click injector and you can easily bind recenter to a button in there. It looks better than WRC, it also has far, far less shimmering, even just with this shitty UEVR injection. Don't want to make a mistake of hoping for good things to happen again, but this looks really promising so far, given how well it works in "we've decided not to deliver VR yet" state.

And god damn, asphalt physics in this game are really something else, it makes every other rally game I can think of look like a joke. You get this little feeling of rubber gripping like in ACEvo, apply too much throttle and wheel inertia will spin your wheel out of control even if you'll lift off, the overall feeling of gripping and losing grip is to die for. And then you also get all of those little wheel rubbing noises, suspension squeaks, supercharger in 037 feels vividly different from any other car and instant power surge threw me off balance more than once until I've learned to be gentle with it. This is one hell of a good sim, I'm really, really looking forward to it.

>>546664939
do you have to use a mouse for UI like old AC

I like how EA WRC actually supports controllers even racing wheel buttons

>>546665301
You can bind wheel buttons to UI selection, and then entire game can be controlled with wheel only. UEVR is also handling main UI well, so effectively it feels like WRC in terms of UI experience.

>>546620839
>which is why it's so much more mind boggling that it came out of nowhere, no announcement, nothing.
That's kinda been the status quo for Vampire Survivors in general, although I doubt the Quest 3 can handle the game if I were able to bring my PC save over with the characters that I broke with a million+ eggs on them.

Why did the Frame need to have Standalone hardware? Isn't it just needlessly driving up the price?
>its like a linux pc... FOR YOUR FACE!
Cool and all but not worth the added cost. I can't imagine there's any purpose for standalone compute except to compete with Meta, but how will this compete with Meta unless its prices near a quest?

>>546623000
FOV is a buzzword like fun. A few degrees here and there don’t really matter.

>>546664939
It sure looks better than WRC

>>546666173
No? You need it to run the camera tracking system.

>>546666173
It needs at least some beef to run the camera tracking system and the video decode for streaming, and if you're adding all that then you might as well just add a more generic chip that's suited for XR stuff in general

>>546666164
It runs stable 90FPS on Quest but there aren't any of the ridiculous new DLC items.

To be honest I'm not sure what the advantage of having color passthrough is. Mixed reality games usually suck ass and the only thing I've used passthrough for on the q3 is occasionally getting my bearings. I got mine on launch and I've never done a single thing on it that I can think of where it would have made a difference to me that it even has passthrough.

>>546671161
you can customize racing wheel LEDs to have different colors / blinks for different in-game events
but I'd probably just play in full VR anyway

>>546671161
It's great when playing flat games with a floating desktop window

>>546671520
Wouldn't it still be better to another background instead, like full on dark for immersion instead of your room?

I guess if you decide to play outside might be nicer to look at a more colourful environment but black and white should be good enough to tell if people are close to you.

>>546672234
It's up to you. I use passthrough 50% of the time and the rest of the time it's floating in a space

>>546671459
>>546671520
That's kinda neat I haven't really used mine for flat games much and when I have it's usually just virtual desktop with the space background.

Thrill of the Fight

Did anyone record when we had like 8 people grabbing a goblin/monster and whacking it up and down for a few second?

The marketing push for the Frame is jaw-dropping. None of these YouTubers are saying anything negative about it, not even explaining that it is really not revolutionary in the market, instead totally regurgitating Valve's marketing demonstration to lie that this thing is changing the landscape at all. It's incredible.

awesome forefronting lads, i'll be back tommorow
t. posted on my friend's quest 2 from hapatalk

>>546673914
that's because using the headset tells you more than the specs on paper

The Frame will cost 350$.
Within 3 months it will get modularity support in forms of full face tracking, replaceable headphones each for less than 125$ each.
Within 12 months they will release their own set of inside/out cameras with tracking that syncs only to the steam frame for 50$ per tracker, supporting up to 7 additional trackers. They will not require light, do not care about occlusion and the quality will surpass vive/tundra and have a battery life of 24 hours.

I'm an insider.

Like I said a few threads ago, we just need a deluge of ports. Somehow we must turn the flat2vr discord into a cult

>>546673914
youtubers aren't people. We're living in the era of peak Valve fan derangement right now, and youtubers have discovered that if you post positive about Valve you get lots of positive engagement. You just need to post gabe's face and "HE WON" on the thumbnail and it will get clicks. Anytime Valve does something, it gets exaggerated praise then people forget about it. Just think of Deadlock's reveal. Rows of positive videos about it, huge hype for a week, now its settled down and is bleeding users again. People who don't give a shit about VR have to pretend this is industry defining for awhile, because its Valve's.

>>546674046
and youtubers who aren't triyng to get on the gabe sucking algo are saying its an experience very similar to the Quest 3

I appreciate the commitment towards making crashes more realistic, but I dunno, imo it's a bit too much

It feels like much more of an actual simulator in terms of physics. I was impressed with the way car handles, couple times I caught myself with "oh right, this thing happens in reality and I've experienced it, but it's the first time I ever got to notice it in a racing sim". Mostly small stuff, like this rubbery feel of grabbing the grip with your tyres when you hit something grippy enough, or spinning wheels even after releasing throttle because wheel inertia keeps spinning the wheel despite no longer receiving engine power. Visually, it looks a bit better in webms than it does in headset, I'm afraid. I'm playing in pretty low resolution and on nearly lowest game graphics settings, you might also be visually fooled by stuff like HDR working overtime for VR standards and over-exposing details around the sky while underexposing car interior (I think this is what >>546676913 describes). This looks great on gameplay video, but doesn't feel too good in VR. But eh, such is life when you're using a VR injector for a game with no real VR mode.

But yeah, it looks pretty good. Those webms are all very low settings + medium textures + low vegetation details (as opposed to very low). It doesn't shimmer too much even on low resolution, it looks okay with AA off. This game sure is pretty.

And also go wasting time testing for a whole Frame Verified category for such a weak reason as "lets not cut costs, lets put a beefier chip in it"...? Doesn't make sense

>>546678084
good forefrotting, frotters

>>546679198
No one makes PCVR games because it isn't worth it. Valve is very obviously trying to crack meta's stranglehold on VR. Making it easy for devs to port their standalone quest titles to the Frame is an important part of that.

That's because VRChat works on an instance to instance basis, not a world to world basis. You just joined an empty instance.

>>546687365
an answer beyond "get a pc"
Get yourself a vrchat account, not meta, not steam, not vive, an actual full vrchat account. With any other device (yes it can be your phone) log into vrchat's website and open the link within the same browser. Hop on vrchat (inside your quest) and log into this account. Now back to your browser, there should be a button written "Invite Me", hit that and wait till you receive an invite inside vrchat.
but please do get a (or use your) pc if you plan to join any vrchat instances posted in here.

>>546688760
>how is this hobby that has such high PC hardware demands
I'm still on a 1060gtx. 90% of VR games run fine on it, especially most modern PCVR releases, due to being anchored to versions built with Quest specs in mind first. People overestimate the actual specs needed to run most shit unless you got razor-sharp vision and need 150% supersampling on your output.

We do play REPO & RoN and we have Phasmophobia but any other suggestions for someone who hasn't been following VR until now? We were concerned about motion sickness going into it but neither climbing nor holding onto a rope going up gave us any worse feelings than just feeling odd, does that mean we're gamer immune to motion sickness?
