I'd never recommend it to anyone, but I think i'm somehow having fun. Fight physics are trash, spears are the only weapon that feel somewhat alright, but difficulty is nicely balanced and you actually have to watch out a bit. Or at least such is my take on it after 30min of playing the game, maybe there's lots of obvious gameplay cheese I didn't figure out yet.

What could be the reason behind my FX layer not working? The parameter menu shows up but when I click on anything (expressions and toggles) nothing happens.
I've put the fx controller in the animator section already so it's not that. Visemes and other playable layers work perfectly as well.
>>456599349

I hope the coop is a nice extra and doesn't take over the game completely.
>>456658959
I think it should take over gameplay. Then it'd be significantly different than ITR1 and give it something else going on that elevates it from just the same game again
>>456658959
I just hope it has proper enemy scaling and spawn settings so co-op doesn't completely trivialize the game.
>up to 4 players
Would be way too much for the number of enemies in both versions of the first game.
>>456659953
>Would be way too much for the number of enemies in both versions of the first game.
It shouldn't be enemy focused desu, multiple people make it way harder. Better to do something like more people just makes encounters faster rather than easier. Or that stealth works a lot better so multiple people moving around is less of an advantage than you think.
Exploring and finding shit with the occasional firefight is what makes ITR good.
>>456650560
The actual answer was that there was a lot more posting, a bunch of drama and unhinged shitposting
>>456661587
Nah, the ratio of actual content to schizophrenia was much more pleasant back then. A lot of the constructive posters have been driven away over the past few years.
>>456660319
>multiple people make it way harder
I don't see how it would unless you mean having to share the loot. 3 people to watch your back will make the enemies and locations far less scary.
Since it's being made with co-op in mind I assume the devs will find some way to keep some tension to the exploration during co-op. I'd love to see weird anomalies or enemies that effect each player differently.
>>456631353
I like the threads now, they're comfy and helpful again, and the janny usually cleans up the goblin's schizo shit pretty quickly.
>>456662543
I mean, I remember threads from back then that were like 50% deleted posts because it was spam of completely incomprehensible schizophrenia. What I mostly see now is just the autistic tranny that gets upset about vrchat posts. But a lot of the constructive posters are gone too, I'll give you that
>>456657218
Good pick. If the facial gasket isn't good enough for you I can vouch for AMVR aftermarket one. They've also go battery packs that hang around your neck to easily double your play time.
Whats your go to way to get Custom Beat Saber songs on a Quest? Doing a quick search there seams to be 20 different ways.
>>456664625
Yeah the guy I got it from gave me a genuine oculus link cable so PCVR works nicely, my router is pretty shit so wireless is a no-go anyway. It still loses charge on cable but not that much, and the factory gasket is actually pretty comfy for me. I'll check the one you mentioned though.
VRC recently added a content filter thing so that you can filter out 18+ avatars. Where can I do that? I don't see the option. Does it only do it if the birthday you gave is under 18 or can you do it manually? Also where do you see the tags of peoples avatars? I don't see it in avatar details
>>456659176
That would just drive away all the people that either can't or won't play coop games.
>>456624081
I think I figured out what makes this game fun despite everything. It's a loop of challenge and reward, you're playing through janky yet somewhat balanced gameplay in order to see what kind of trouble is cleric going to be in this time. Each difficulty level seems to feature a different type of torture device, and it's always more or less interactive.
Such a trash game, i love it. Plus gameplay gets somewhat better once difficulty goes up, weapons get more powerful and you can finally kill a goblin in one good hit instead of stabbing the poor guy over ten times
do video players support live streams in vrc? like the videogame awards?
>>456667882
if they're on twitch or youtube yeah
>>456665836
> added a content filter thing so that you can filter out 18+ avatars
wrong, there is no such thing in the game. the only recent change is that they are trying to force people to add content tags to their avatars, which isnt used by any filter it just auto-deletes your avatar if you upload it as NSFW.

why do the vive ultimate trackers list wifi 5ghz on their tech specs? are they really communicating over 5ghz? that seems retarded

I am looking for hosts for all timezones for a saturday in late december, currently leaning towards the 29th. just DM or email me with your timezone and VRChat username
We currently have one volunteer for NA but backup hosts is never a bad idea in case plans change.
The hosts can either go to the hub world and take everyone through the portals there which will be public portals (because as far as I know you can't put friends+portals in worlds) or I will send them a list of the worlds for them to favourite and drop friends+ portals to.
You're running out of time if you want to make a world. Try and get your worlds submitted a week before the 29th, and preferably submitted to labs to make it easier for hosts to drop portals to them
The theme is winter, anything even vaguely winter related is fine and all skill levels are welcome. You can submit your world by sending your world ID to [email protected], vrbuild on Discord or post it in the thread
Useful or free stuff: https://rentry.org/vrbuild

Welcome back racer!
EU Assetto Corsa: European Racing club, season 9!
Race 62.
19:00 UTC 20:00 CET, Monday 11th of December.
Grip day 2.0, but now with fully manual gearboxes. We're taking Formula One cars of 1970ties into Finland, to drive on extremely complicated track. There is enough grip and speed to kill yourself. Expect blind corners, it's gonna be a survival race, perfect for the last race of season 9.
1 hour practice
12 minutes qualifiers
11 lap race
Afterwards we'll take a drive in Hungary, on a Transfagarasan pass, to get some scenic views. Cars with no roof only!
Assetto - can be played with wheel, controller, or steam-vr-wheel addon, it doesn't matter, we will all have fun driving together. If you just bought Asseto - grab Assetto Corsa Content Manager - a better launcher and mod manager: https://assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html To install mods: just drag and drop zip files from mega onto the Content Manager windows and click on the hamburger menu on top right. Highly recommend installing stable custom shader patch and 7-zip plugin in Content manager.
For communication we'll use mumble at voice.vrg.party port 64738, as it doesn't need any registrations or logins.

Probably a fallback for 3rd party headsets. They ship with a dongle already.
>>456669447
5ghz is significantly worse than the propietary 2.4ghz that the steamVR dongles use, which is why valve didnt use 5ghz even though it existed for a decade when the steamVR 1.0 radios came out
>>456665836
What they have implemented so far is based on a birthday that you supposedly entered when making your vrchat account. If you're under 18 based on that then all of that content now gets filtered. It's not an opt-in sort of thing but that could be an idea to submit to the canny.
>>456672097
>worse
Worse how? Range? Receivers are usually sitting 2m away from the player. The popularity of 2.4ghz comes mostly from how absolutely dirt cheap 2.4ghz radio modules were even 15 years ago.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I really fail to see any reason why 5ghz would be an inferior option. Hell, I can only see reasons why it would be better, 5ghz band is less cluttered, 5ghz frequency is less susceptible to water absorption (and that's pretty great when your tracker sits on a piece of meat that's 70% water)

You should be OK. Make sure to use Vanilla Texture Optimization, Insignificant Object Remover, Disk Cache Enabler VR, and maybe VR FPS Stabilizer. There's also the VR Upscaler mod if you want to use FSR 2 or something. The game is mostly CPU intensive in parts like downtown Boston.

Finished playing The 7th Guest VR
£20 (on sale) and 4.5 hours to complete so not so good value for money imo
looks decent and runs good, the FMV "volumetric video" is cool, performances were great
VR interaction works well enough
puzzles were generally creative and fun but pretty easy, breezed though the game with no hints (10% of players completed the game with no hints)
puzzles are only contained to one room each, there is no overarching puzzle or interconnectedness, just go into a room, do the puzzle, go to the next room
last "puzzle" absolutely shit the bed, typical throw everything out and change the game completely for the last boss problem

Open your mouth and have words come out
You don't have to speak much at all. Just make you speak at least a little, and when talked to diretly.
>>456689070
join activities, say that youre a newfag and that you just got into vr. thats the easiest way
>>456689070
Talk to someone like they're offline but don't care about you saying the funny gamer words. It also helps to have something to talk about as a common experience, so showing up to game lobbies and then parlaying them into VRC friends instead of walking into a massive room of people who you don't know and already have established friend circles they're engaged with helps.

>>456690139
the quest version basically blocks everything and in order to have a 'quest compatible' avatar (aka, a quest person can see your avatar) you have to super downgrade it. most people dont want to do that so they just dont make one, so you cant see them.
same with worlds, the good worlds are all PCVR only.
VTOL VR is 30% off. It's a fantastic sim-lite air combat game that only requires your headset and controllers- no HOTAS needed. The mechanics are very easy to get into, although having a rough idea of what weapons fighter jets use and how they work can help. There's a lively PVE and PVP multiplayer scene, and since Nothing Else Comes Close I doubt it'll ever die out. There's DLC for an attack helicopter and training aircraft that have multicrew, as well.
I've stopped hosting recently but an update revamping radar mechanics and air defense is coming soon alongside a new Electronic Warfare plane. Once this releases, I'll start hosting weekly again.

havent they been teasing the tongue tracking for literal months now? ill believe it when i see it
but yeah if they do drop tongue tracking for quest pro it will make the resale value go skyhigh with furries.
>>456690713
can I use airlink to get around that? that's how I've been using my headset
sorry if that's retarded, I didn't really research anything before I bought it
>>456691054
you can use airlink but virtual desktop is better
>>456691054
as long as you are running vrchat via steam yes you are considered a PCVR player
>>456691148
what's the difference?
my pc's pretty solid so if it's a performance thing I'm not overly concerned
>>456691167
>vrchat via steam yes you are considered a PCVR player
cheers that was my plan, I actually haven't played anything within the quest itself so far lol
>>456691148
Steam Link is also a good option
>>456653060
where does one go to actually get this birb
>>456691054
No you bought a good headset accidentally, don't worry. You need something like Steam Link (free) or Virtual Desktop (best but not free) to stream PCVR to your quest 2 over wifi or the cable.

Should I just pony up and spend $720 for the 512gb storage, pro strap, and the warranty service in case my Quest 3 is broken? It's good for a person new to VR right? I even have a Steam Link I bought for $50 back in 2016 that's been rotting in my closet for PCVR.
>>456692067
>>456692074
Get the used quest 3. It'll still be in warranty (get his proof of purchase send over with the headset). Otherwise yeah ,give a it a try without a custom strap and such. the Quest 3 is a good headset for entry VR.
Also the "Steam Link" that you bought is actually different than the "Steam Link" software which is free, sorry bro.
>steam vr fest

What a waste.
>>456692274

>>456692262
Ok but what does the storage in a VR headset even do? Why would I need to store my video games in my headset when I have them all in my PC?
>>456674280
Bought Mare, Table of Tales and Rez Infinite. Everyone should buy Rez Infinite, it's only 7 bucks now, the main game kinda sucks in VR but the main appeal here is in the Area X mode. It will be the best 20 minutes of your life, it's awesome and you can only get how awesome it is if you play it in VR. If you've played Tetris Effect in VR, this is like 10x cooler in terms of trippy visuals. The main game is a flat classic too so even though it kinda sucks in VR in flat it's fun
>>456692494
It doesn't do anything but store native games. You really don't need 512GB storage.

True, I don't like streaming it from PC, I know it should be safe but it doesn't feel safe, feels like my neighbor is watching my porn stream
>>456666814
Does it have multiplayer? You're shilling this pretty well I'd love to play it with yah
>>456692981
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO
>>456590565
Are those the same goblin models every other VR "AAA" game is using
>>456674280
>slime rancher has vr now
Yo? I played that for a little bit around it's initial launch and never got back to it. Does it have motion controls or is it just headset + kb+m?
>>456693169
No multiplayer, far as I see.
I'm exactly between "do" and "don't" in terms of shilling. Seriously, it's a trash game, and I'd be embarrassed to properly shill it to anyone. But I can't lie: subjectively, i'm having fun, it's a fact that I cannot deny. It's an absolute nip kusoge and it doesn't hold a candle to something like B&S gameplay-mechanics-wise, game storyline is not too far away from b&s 'storyline' except for a literal big tiddy anime girl bully bait tied up at the end of every dungeon. But it's just weird kinds of fun, and it's the first time for me to see VR melee that's anywhere around 'gameplay balanced', so I just can't help but enjoy it.
Then again, no multiplayer. Probably worth ignoring if you were looking forward to that particular bit.
>>456693656

But yeah if you can cut 7.8k polygons out you'll shoot right to medium
>>456694896
it uses 50 mb of vram and has a filesize of 8mb. i shouldnt be very poor just because i am slightly over the tri limit!!! i already deleted everything invisible on my avatar and decimated parts of my outfit but i cant decimate more without it starting to look like dog. so sad!
>>456674280
I got Light Brigade and some other 300mb indie dungeon crawler, it's pretty fun. Been testing the Pico's wireless mode and it works pretty well on my dogshit router. The contrast was a bit better on the CV1 though, but the resolution makes up for it.
I'd like to get into VR but I don't understand one thing. Why do the headsets come with internal memory? All the headsets recommended in the guide are very expensive most likely due to being it's own computer-thing? But the same guide also states it needs a PC. Are the headsets just needlessly filled with useless components to inflate prices and weight when they're only supposed to be two small screens + gyro at most? Since the game runs on the PC and the headset is just a inout device.
>>456696726
Some headsets are standalone (quest 2, 3, pico 4), some connect to PC and one connects to PS5. The standalone ones can still connect to PC as well.
>but why would I buy a standalone for PC gaming
Because they happen to have the best wireless functionality, most popular PCVR headsets are still wired. There haven't been a major PCVR headset in a while now, Beyond doesn't count it's too gimmicky
>>456696726
Standalone headsets have internal memory since they're basically consoles. You can use them as PCVR headsets, but that's not what they were primarily designed for.
Index, Beyond, and Vive Pro 2 are all PC native headsets with no additional hardware inside. They also happen to cost more than just buying a Quest or Pico.
>>456696726
It's more than screens and gyros. There's positional tracking too. Inside out tracking (quest) has cameras mounted on the headset to work out the position of the headset relative to the room and outside in tracking (lighthouse tracking so vive, index etc) have sensors on the headset that track the position of the IR light lighthouses around your room. It does this so you can have 6 degrees of freedom tracking. That means you can lean, crouch, jump, or walk around your room and also move your character that way. Without it your vr headset will just be like moving your mouse in a flat game and only control rotation. See pic related for the comparison.
The internal memory of the quest is for its standalone functions. The quest saves games to the headset and plays without a computer. PCVR headsets run directly off your computer. You can still hook up your quest to your pc and use it that way with some additional software and fucking about.

You could make an argument that it's too expensive for what it is, but it doesn't have a single thing I'd consider a gimmick.
>>456697779
you forgot to list that quest pro comes with the magetic charging dock (100$ value) and the controllers have litho batteries unlike the quest 3 which you hou have to charge with a cable and the controllers use literal oldschool batteries.
>>456697779
the tables have really turned against the quest 3 in the past week since steamlink went public with the foveated encoding. right now the performance gap between quest pro with the foveated encoding and the quest 3 with it disabled is ridiculous. the quest pro shits all over the quest 3 in pcvr now. a week ago we couldnt even say that.
since its come out that vrc devs have the ability to watch ur video and listen in on your mic i would like to state that its extremely possible that they abuse that for their own entertainment. possibly even leaking sensitive content and maybe even blackmailing others. i would say they have the capabilities of messing with peoples visuals and audio.
Is asetto worth buying if you don't have a wheel? I like racing games and it seems like it'd be fun in vr
>>456698052
If face mold isn't a gimmick I don't know what is. You can't even use Beyond with glasses on. Too weird of a headset
>just buy cheap shitty VR lenses
No I have my own lenses in my glasses thank you, they are well made and expensive and I like them, I will keep using them in VR.
>>456697779
The tragic thing is that meta by accident made the most non-compromise PCVR headset and then only ever shilled it as a work device.
>>456698682
It's my main VR game and I would say no to be honest. You can play it with a gamepad but it will just be tedious. Dirt Rally 2 you could play with a gamepad better. I'd still buy AC on sale to be honest regardless. It constantly goes on like 90% sales.

>>456698862
I'd consider molded face gaskets to be a gimmick if there wasn't any actual reason for it, but it's a way to cut the headset size and weight down significantly.
>>456698862
eye skill issue. The close fit is definitely worth not having a brick on your face. IMO the most meme thing about the beyond is the strap and lack of built-in audio; it's just not as comfy to have to put in earbuds. I wait warmly for their audio strap thing.
>>456699228
>better lenses
They're literally the same lenses minus quality control
>better resolution
Not big enough to make up the lack of local dimming

All that lighter weight is on the front of your face, with a non-shit headstrap to even it out its heavier than qpro
>better passthrough

>AV1 support for higher streaming quality at lower bitrate

>>456697779
>tongue tracking soon
Nah, Zucc doesn't like the implications of that
>>456698682
I don't think so, but some people still regularly play it without one.
>>456699603
Seconding G29/G920 since it's generally the best thing around that price range
TMX/T150 can be still worth getting though if it drops close to $100 and you don't care about having a clutch and shifter.
>>456699830
>>456700469
cheers, I'll try for the g29
I don't even drive irl so the more realistic the better
>>456699603
VRS DD.
>>456699603
Buy it used. They are usually much cheaper and there's a near constant supply of them. If you don't driving games or want to upgrade to a direct drive wheel you can easily sell it again for around the same price.
>>456700759
G29 has rather ancient FFB system. It's not a bad wheel, and being an anti-gearfag I'll recommend it, but if you can get t300 and you care about noise levels, you might want to go for that. Then again, G29 is an appealing package: pedals are properly decent, and it has dirt cheap h-shifter.
Nothing within the price range you're aiming for is a bad choice, but in all honesty, if given an opportunity to go for g29 or t300/xbawks equivalent, I'd probably choose t300 between two. However, that doesn't mean g29 is a bad choice at all, you'll surely enjoy some proper racing on either of two.
>>456701085
I barely missed out on a g29 full set plus seat and frame for $300. Stay on craigslist/marketplace even if youre not actually looking fr anything i s2g
>>456699206
eBay, you can get them for like $650 buy it now for open box/barely used
I have a whole T150 with a GT Omega Apex and T-LCM pedals just sitting in a corner I'd give away for free. Too bad I'm not friends with none of you irl.

I saw this recommended elsewhere a few times
unironically would one or the other have good carryover to irl driving?
I need to get my license but have nobody to teach me and I'm too lazy to get to a driving school
Do you see?
>>456701331
T300 hasn't been anywhere near G29 prices in a while unfortunately. I feel like if you're dropping more money, you might as well just bite the bullet and step up to a CSL DD.
>>456702486
>unironically would one or the other have good carryover to irl driving?
T300 FFB is definitely going to feel a bit better, but I think any wheel with decent FFB will help with the stuff that carries over to IRL driving.
I don't personally think racing sims are going to help much with the kind of stuff you'd learn in a driving school or need for street driving though.
>>456703084
Clean your fucking facial interfaces you slobs
>>456702486
Maybe if you play something designed for that like City Car Driving. learning traffic rules and maintaining good awareness are the important parts of learning to drive.
Managing the biting point in a manual car could be a challenge at first but most games can't give the feedback necessary for that to feel anywhere near realistic enough and if you're an autofag it's irrelevant.
>>456702486
None of these will carry over to irl driving. Are you an Americhad? You can just go take a test and if you pass you get your license? No tutoring no nothing?
>>456703084
> White "people"
>>456703971
I tried City Car Driving when I was learning to drive and it didn't help at all.
Does anyone care about AR passthrough at all?
>>456703506
>>456703971
should've been clear, I can drive irl I've just done it very few times and would use sims just to get comfortable with pedals desu as that was my biggest issue the few times I did drive
>>456704121
>You can just go take a test and if you pass you get your license?
kind of, I think it may vary by state but in mine you need a permit first (which is just a multiple choice test) and then you can just take a test and get it if you pass
>>456704121
You can do that in my country, but it would be practically impossible because most of the test is just unrealistic hoop jumping for the examiner. 99% of qualified drivers would fail on a retest because they won't remember the stupid shit you're meant to do in the test.
>>456704274
No because it isn't AR, it's just the same passthrough cameras we had until now but not grainy and B&W.
>>456703746
It has nothing to do with cleanliness and everything to do with dedication to the VIRTUAL ARTS.
>>456704274
AR currently has nothing appealing besides virtual screens which I'd rather have with those AR sunglasses instead of a bulky VR headset.
Passthrough has it's place for VR by being convenient to quickly jump back into the real work when you need to grab a drink or do something.
>>456698468
Does the foveated encoding work straight out of the box? Tempted to buy the qpro but I hate fucking around with hacks.
What were they arrested for?
>>456698052
I specifically like that it avoids gimmicks. Other companies are obsessed with standalone and AR which I'll never use, causing their headsets to be bricks. Bigscreen has avoided that crap and been able to drive down their headset's size as a result while using the money for microOLED. It's sad that Valve seems to also be racing for memes now.

This is true, but it doesn't invalidate the value of a nice wheel. FFB gives you feedback that roughly translates into what reality driving is about, although only if you drove a real car enough to understand the translation.
It's great to just enjoy both.

god dammit i was really pumped to buy a quest 3 today after weeks of deliberating on what my first vr headset should be and now that i come back to this thread it seems everyone's opinions have flipped and now quest pro is suddenly way better.
>>456712827
Only people who bought a quest pro say it's better, trying to get more people to join them in their buyers remorse
>>456699603

>Only people who bought a quest pro say it's better
That is how opinions work, I wouldn't expect people that haven't bought one to have much to say about it
>>456712827
I just really like eye tracking and the controllers that can work anywhere.
Quest 3 is still better for AR stuff.
But I’m a VR gamer not an AR gamer
Should I buy IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad? It's on sale. Anyone tried that in VR recently, does everything work properly?

Creed worked fine for me, unless you're an IRL boxing freak, it might be a better game for you anyway.
>>456712143
I guess it's to do with the game using roomspace and the steam version fucks it while the native quest version doesn't

I was actually looking at it for cardio purposesI love lifting but fucking hate cardio
ended up going for beat saber because it's also frantic and I'm a fiend for rhythm games, was hoping I could get it on a sale but I just bit the bullet since I'm sure I'll get a lot of playtime out of it
>>456712827
It depends on what you're looking for. If you want AR and a slight resolution bump compared to the Pro, go with Quest 3. If you want eye and face tracking, go with secondhand Quest Pro.
>>456712827
This general is weighted towards PCVR and VRChat so features that benefit that use case will generally be valued higher than elsewhere would.
Ask standalone VR gamers and they'll say to get Quest 3 with no hesitation because the games will look/run better and eventually support for Quest 2/pro may be dropped.

Has anyone else used the Bigscreen Beyond VR headset? I just got mine a few days ago.
So far the weight and the comfort are great for the headset itself, but the soft strap they sent me since the deluxe audio strap I ordered is not in production yet sucks. I'm constantly trying to keep it tight enough so that the headset stays in the right place and the cable clip in the back sucks. The cable constantly wants to come off the clip and has to be kept perfectly taught to avoid it just bumping against my left ear constantly. I ended up using a Velcro strap that came with the display cable to attach the cable to the top strap on the headband instead.
Through the lenses the picture is good but the sweet spot is super small. The colors look weird and the picture is super blurry if you look even slightly outside the sweet spot in the center of the display. For me the fuzzy edge on the bottom of my vision is super distracting especially when using this headset with a cable manager system above my head causes the headset to get pulled around and it will jerk the sweet spot away from my face when I move. The Beyond really needs to be wireless with the tradeoffs it has made to be small and form fitting, as it is now it's super uncomfortable to use with a cable manager.
The Beyond has ended up being a huge disappointment. None of the drawbacks I have noticed where ever mentioned in Shillseeker's multiple videos on the Beyond. I was fine with the limitations he mentioned in his videos, but not the ones I have found after using the Beyond.
>>456715985
a grand spectacle in the sky is cool and all but the telemetry shows players don't look up. anything outside of their grab and interact range might as well be thick fog and plywood
>>456718049
Beyond bros not like this…
>>456718139
Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed.
The sweetspot is super small, like a pinpoint. You try and look to the side by just moving your eyes and everything goes blurry. You have to move your head constantly with the small FOV for any clarity. Any small movement just jerks the headset out of place if you use a cable manager, which most serious PC VR players use for better freedom of movement. I try to turn my body physically and my headset gets moved out of place. The blurry edges on the bottom are constantly present and super distracting. I'm playing Contractors VR worse than ever compared to my old Vive Pro 1.

it essentially nullifies any codec advantage that quest 3 had and makes all non-eye tracked headsets dead tech.

it's not even like this now, now in vrchat reddit half the posts i see are guys who ask if its ok to have crushes on their guy friends because they cuddle with them and jerk off to eachothers avatars. when in reality they are just confused and simply want a FRIEND but get confused and think they want a GF because they are so lonely. vr is literally making people gayer
>>456718049
Sorry you had a bad experience with it but I appreciate that you came here to post your opinions on it. You can't beat reviews from anons.
>>456719675
The strap looks a bit jank but the headset looks like it's sitting on his nose properly.
>>456718049
I've found that another strap helps a lot. You can 3D print an adapter to use a quest headstrap with it.

Tthe big mods that made VR decent in the last year or two would be FRIK for full body IK and other tweaks, Kabuto VR for proper power armor view, and Virtual Holsters and Virtual Chems so you can holster weapons on your body and pull chems out of pouches to huff or inject them help. I've been enjoying more recent optimizations like VR Upscaler which kills the game's blur well and the VR port of Disk Cache enabler.
It still doesn't have manual reloading tragically, but the combat is still probably the best in the Fallout Series. I like that you can properly two hand weapons to manage recoil, aim down the sights, and physically hurl grenades and mines. The standard pip boy settings don't freeze time, so you have to git gud at stabbing yourself in the arm like Alyx to heal, using your holsters to switch weapons, or spend AP in VATS to do that similar to Fallout 1 and 2.
Some bigger content mods like America Rising 2 and Sim Settlements 2 Chapter 3 have come out in the past couple months and work well in VR. There is a patch to integrate both of them too.
>>456718973
Tether is a huge problem. The new Steam VR link looks like it works with the eye tracking on the Quest Pro. Thing is with the progress the Nofio has made the Beyond could have launched with a wireless mode if they had worked together from the start. The tether is such a huge burden on a light headset with a soft strap that holds it on your face.
>>456719614
Exactly. Terrible blur outside a super small sweet spot. The flaws it ends up having are not the ones Shillseeker disclosed.
>>456719130
Probably a smart move. It feels like the problems I'm having with the head strap alone could have been easily fixed before it was shipped out. The early version Shillseeker helped them demo must have been much worse.
>>456719675
That's not me in the picture, I grabbed something off of google images. I followed all the instructions on the face measuring thing and Bigscreen said my scan was fine. Of course I'm titled, I spent $1,300 on this shit and it's not even remotely what was advertised. Finding a new model iphone was a fucking nightmare because I live in the rural US. I ended up getting lucky that someone at Men's Warehouse I was talking to had just got one, otherwise I would have been stuck driving to an even farther away city from my small town to find an apple store that had one not trapped in demo mode like the ones at my local Verizon store.
>>456720008
Anons are the best source for brutally honest information.
>>456720693
I paid extra for the deluxe audio strap which still hasn't even been manufactured yet, hopefully this will solve the problem. Having a ridged headband like on the Vive Pro would make things better.
>>456720928
The tiny sweet spot is such a massive drawback it effectively ruins the headset. This design might work if it launched with wireless support and a hot swappable battery. The cable loves to jerk the headset away from the sweetspot, effectively forcing me to stand perfectly still for things to look normal.
>>456719659
>>456717582
Does it actually work well? Like can you perceive the blurriness of the rest of the screen or does the brain actually ignore it? Is it fast enough to update so when I dart my eyes around it would be full resolution? I feel like I would notice if my peripheral is blurry and would bother me as opposed to rendering everything at full resolution.
>>456722061
there is a setting to increase or decrease the area that it affects, if you notice it you can just decrease the area. but most people will not notice it.
there is a chance that your system lags and you notice it but if your system is keeping up you wont notice it.
what are the chances valve updates steam homes to allow adding user content?
>>456723223
Low since I doubt they want to moderate it and unironically VRC does it better then they do except for the ability to launch your games from it, and even Steam home doesn't let you launch a party into a game together.

a wheel definitely translates into irl driving if you know how to set it up
go to a parking lot and drive a car with supervision, then buy a wheel and try to get the same feeling, and then play euro truck sim or city car driving for a while, if you have VR it will definitely translate, it will build your muscle memory so when you go back to a real car you focus on the traffic and so on instead of actually controlling the car
and with more time a wheel also helps you understand how a car behaves and how to correct oversteer or understeer without thinking
>>456721962
I kind of got used to the headset over time, but mostly by ratcheting it on to keep it tight. I don't use a pulley. I like the headset way more than the Quest Pro after using it for a few months. The sweet spot on the Pro is better but the comfort and the microphone are really bad. That and the picture even with the new Steam link is very blurry and ghosty compared to the Beyond. I wish that Wigig was still used for wireless as that could help deal with the issues it has on Quests. If the Beyond's audio strap comes soon as that'll make it GOAT for me if it can keep things secured well enough.
>>456725113
masamune shirow is a hack and a coomer

>>456728864
Nah, Vlad Love sucking made me realize the opposite. Coomers are the most creative group of people.

Also Mamoru Oshii had nothing to do with SAC. It's Yoko Kanno really who makes that show great.

>>456718049
I have a Beyond and really enjoy mine. I agree with you that the stock strap sucks and the cable clip especially is fucking ass. The small sweet spot is also my biggest complaint and it's something I noticed the big reviewers like Shillseeker and Linus not talk about much oddly enough.
Colors, resolution, and comfort make it the ideal headset for me though for now.

What is this?
Come enjoy a comfy christmas party with your fellow /vrg/ anons.
A christmas carol will be revealed made by everyone who was lucky enough to see HIM during the video production process. (or contact us if you want to be in the carol lol)
Chat, chill and warm yourselves with the other anon's as everyone decorate the christmas tree with ornaments made by (You).
Beverages, snacks and orderves will be served from our tourism sensitive hosts. In a fully custom map designed for /vrg/.
At it's climax everyone forms a circle in a very traditional "Pass the Parcel" system where Everyone else tries to help everyone find the gifts specially made for them.
Non-secret santa participants will be able to have a little token as well.

But everyone and their mothers and normies have called monday drinking nights as margarita monday since it's catchy. Pic related is not even the earliest trackable date of people using the term
If there is someone who wants to do a monday meet up then the important thing is to find an equally catchy name for it since the "margarita" term has already been sullied in this localized community of ours as an event that kicks other /vrg/ people.
>>456718631
I wonder if the sweetspot varies by IPD. I'm at 63mm and while the bigmeme sweetspot is definitely smaller than index, it's not unbearably small. I can still read small text across the center ~50deg without turning my head. Which is better than what I remember the reverb g2 being. The glare is still my biggest complaint I think; though after months with the headset my brain has somehow stopped noticing the glare which is cool I guess but it's still there if I look for it. The strap also sucks though.

You can't use the ultimate move in VR boxing
and I don't have that game, I heard it was just a low blow simulator

The people more interested in cooming don't come to monday pypy anyway. There's a trash meet that happens at the same time.

I just pulled the plug and got a used Quest Pro from ebay for $680 after shipping and tax. Is there anything else I should get for it? Coming from an Index. Do I need a certain router or will the one my ISP gave me work? Also I am a eyelet and need correction lenses. Which ones do you recommend?
>>456743249
I use the router my isp gave me. As long as it's relatively recent you just need to activate the 5ghz thing for it. then buy Virtual Desktop or just use the free SteamLink plus XSOverlay

Hosts for events or meetups need to be stable.
They can just block someone they dislike but they go further and kicks multiple people. That splits the meetup and negatively affects people who don't care about any specific drama and just want to chill with friends

>>456747472
People shouldn't really. But who am I to tell others what they want to do with their time and body.
I can merely suggest that it is unhealthy to drink that much and give some proof on the matter.
>>456626725
parameter sync
Have to "sync" parameters in the FX layer if you haven't done so already.
Or maybe define them correctly and make sure they're spelled correctly in the parameter object.
That's the only issue I can think of without having access to the project itself.
Viseme parameters are called automatically so it shouldn't be an issue (hence my guess on the parameter sync), and unless I know what the "other playable layers" are I really can't comment on those.
If I remember correctly you have to initialize parameters first separately then make another reference to them in the FX layer, then make sure both are referenced correctly in the avatar descriptor.

It's not the issue with the "hosts" though.
Whenever someone volunteers to sacrifice their time and energy (and sometimes money) to host events for /vrg/, there are always people that try to ruin it with incessant shitposting and counter-event hosting.
That's why there's no longer any meaningful events being hosted.
>>456749143

Holy moly are you up your own ass? You just insulted all the other events that continue to get hosted right now.

>>456718049
Yea I'm with you on being disappointed with the Beyond. I've been holding out on giving a final verdict on the headset until I get a thinner face gasket from the devs but I'm unoptimistic that it will change much. My biggest gripe is the fov, it's a very noticeable regression from the Index at its max FOV. It's got some other issues too but the FOV alone is enough to make me write it off as a $1000 dollar sidegrade to the Index.
Making a little tool to much more easily select your quality to vram size ratio.
What features you think it should have to be a bit more user friendly.
Currently thinking it should defiantly display the settings of your current texture and then maybe open a couple window to show you it at varying distances.
>>456718049
>>456752626
Relevant to disappointed Beyond owners (and those who might not be happy with it)
There is at least a $200 restocking fee on the Beyond, you also only have 14 days to return it.

Can I connect more than 1 thing to a vive tracker 3.0 dongle?
My index broke 2 days out of warranty a while back and Ive been using my old CV1 but the controllers are about to disintegrate and I still have a pair of working knuckles that are sitting unused since I can no longer connect them.
Am I going to have to buy an additional dongle thingy for the controllers as well? Would appreciate if you guys could give recommendations if so.
>>456755646
tl;dr no
>>456755646
I should give a more helpful answer: You will need extra dongles for the controllers. Tundra labs sell combined dongles, or you can get stanalone dongles uh somewhere. They're NOT bluetooth so you will need the special ones.

>>456728654
How do you avoid stepping on the cable if you don't use a pulley cable manager? I was hyped for the Quest Pro but the release demos and reviews caused me not to but it. The audio strap had better keep this thing tight on my face because the one it came with sucks.
>>456730064
The comfort is great but the small sweet spot is ruining the experience. If I could have tested this thing for 20 minutes I would not have bought it. Shillseeker and Linus come off as deceptive by mentioning small visual compromises in their reviews while leaving out the huge problem of the small sweet spot.
>>456738241
The glare everyone warned me about is negligible for me. I've got a 68mm IPD and looking around at all ruins the clarity.
>>456752626
Maybe asking for a thinner face cushion would help, mine is pretty thick on the bottom. Might be causing some of the distortion around the bottom of the lenses. The FOV drawbacks are huge. I was expecting next gen but the index is probably still better.
>>456754982
I'm honestly considering this. I had to go through a whole fiasco to get my bluetooth working so I could use my earbuds since the fucking audio strap is months out still. I've had it for over a week but haven't used it much between taking my computer to a technician for a few days and work.
>>456762110
Yeah, and something cheaper like the Reverb would probably be better. Got pretty burned here.
Has anyone here ever used the crystal? With the faceplate it can work with my steam vr basestation setup and has native wireless pc vr. Its size and the complaints I've read about earlier Pimax headsets causing tension headaches put me off from it. Also I'm a big vr fps fan and I use the VRS Mark 3 which uses the same stock as an AR-15. I wanted something without the bottom lip my Vive has that can get in the way of me looking down the sights like I would for any other rifle.
>>456763215
>How do you avoid stepping on the cable if you don't use a pulley cable manager?
by not being retarded
Speaking of pulley cable manager, I still use a Vive and was thinking of installing a hook on the ceiling to keep the cord out of my way when I do PyPy and crap, anything specific I should get or is doing what I was going to and just running to Home Depot and finding something I can run it through work just fine?
>>456763215
It's not only biggest and heaviest Pimax yet (heavier than Index), it comes with battery pack that needs to be connected for it to work while connected to PC because of some retarded Snapdragon license terms. Put the usual terrible software, brittle headstrap and lack of QA on top and you have Crystal. Strictly and only for simfags, for anybody else even fucking CV1 would be better.
>>456748698
I use it for a backup of my friends list in case some trigger-happy schizo and his posse decide to mass report me, since people can have all sorts of unicode characters in their names. Also good for keeping in touch with the people who change their usernames on a whim (autists).

You can still use the Index ( or a Vive ) as a pair of dongles for your controllers, without actually using it as a headset.
Connect your index, open up Windows device manager and locate any device that's part of the Index ( Bluetooth controller, audio devices etc ), select it and switch the view to "devices by connection".
You will then get a hierarchy of all the devices that are connected via the same USB hub with the device you selected highlighted, including things like the the Lighthouse tracker of the Index, and the individual Watchman ( SteamVR ) dongles.
You can identify which devices are the Watchman dongles by looking at their Bus Reported Device Description property ( picture related ).
Disable anything but the USB hubs and the Watchman dongles, and do not connect the display cable, and it will serve as a Watchman dongle for two devices.
Picture is the "devices by connection" view of my OG Vive, which has been on dongle duty for many years now.
and while we're on the subject of dongles, here's a Tundra SW5 at idle ( no trackers connected ).
50c seems a bit excessive for a device doing literally nothing.
For comparison the Vive dongle isn't even warm to the touch, but then again I guess it only handles a single device.
>v.60
fuck you too
>>456770729
is there any benefit to disabling that shit? i have my index hung on my wall and use it to connect my knuckles. been doing that for 2 years without disabling anything.
I have to say that wireless streaming isn't there yet, it's like going from 90fps motion capture from wired CV1 to 15fps stutter on oculus link quest2
>>456772417

Did you make sure your router bandwidth is set to 5Ghz or more? Cause I call bullshit
Wireless is near perfect for my setup
>>456773558
with CV1 I could do really fine movement, and with wireless it doesn't have that resolution of motion
>>456773023
I accidentally left my Vive's USB connected while launching VD from my Quest, and SteamVR would shit itself with very unhelpful error messages. Took several hours of troubleshooting for me to realize what was up.
There's been a bunch of threads with people having trouble using their Vives as dongles, and this has generally been the solution.
Could potentially be a Vive thing, or maybe an issue only present when multiple SteamVR drivers are enabled.
If your stuff already works then no benefit.
>>456773754

>Yeah, and something cheaper like the Reverb would probably be better.
An old discontinued WMR better than Beyond? I haven't used Reverb but I really doubt that.
Pimax products are an absolute joke, don't even bother looking at them. If you're truly unhappy with your Beyond and are thinking about returning it but want a newer headset you could look at QPro/Pico4Pro.
>>456773950
It was perfectly fine for me: skill issue
>>456763215
You could try asking for a different face cushion or maybe your IPD isn't exact, yeah. I think getting the most out of the Beyond is really going to be dependent on how well that face gasket is able to fit your face and IPD perfectly in to the sweet spot to make it as large as possible. I have two face cushions and one of them noticeably doesn't fit right compared to the other and causes much more blur, much smaller sweet spot.

How does some of all the homos in VRC think when they choose a name? Did they just stand there, DK1 on their head and typed "Cock loving rave puppy" or similar into the namefield? Or did they change it later? Same with men using female names, they just straight up selected a girls name?

Half Life 2 is one of the best vr games
Outer Wilds is amazing
>>456779506
yes, Prey also looks good
Got a quest pro recently, what's a good wifi 6e router than won't break the bank? It's just gonna be dedicated to virtual desktop/steamlink.
>>456781502
Please tell me it's Prey 1
>>456775530
>What's your router settings? Airlink settings?
asus ax11000 with dedicated wifi6 5hz band just for vr
2Gb ethernet wire from pc to router
didn't touch any airlink settings
videocapture by external device so it doesn't use GPU at all
>>456781946
yes.
i WISH it was prey 2017. not that prey 2006 isn't a great game itself but 2017 is more my style and would be amazing in vr
>>456781946
prey that use doom3 engine, also there's a quake4 port
just got my index, played a couple hours of h3 to test it out.
i'm impressed at the visuals coming from an og vive. the fov is especially nice, the vive always felt like looking through binoculars but the index doesn't have that effect at all. however i wasn't expecting the sde to still be so prominent, it's absolutely miles better and doesn't obstruct your vision (vive's sde honestly makes it hard to see) but it's still constantly visible.
these controllers are going to take a lot of getting used to though. it doesn't feel at all natural to have my fingers off the handles so i keep forgetting that i'm "gripping" and my brain gets confused when i go to pick something up and don't have a button to press.
thanks for reading my blog
>>456779506
Yes, strangely enough. Seconding both HL2 and outer wilds. Portal 2 also has a VR mod now and it works in single player and (kind of) works in coop too.
>>456784443
You can see the pixels on the index?
>>456784529
yes
>>456780284
Yeah, there's still not much of a game around the combat system though.
>>456784593
should be good enough really since i heard there is tons of mods with it
>>456763215
one thing you can test is taking the face gasket off and seeing if you can manually hold the headset in a position where you get good clarity. That at least rules out whether the optics are totally fucked or just the gasket is scanned/printed wrong/not squished hard enough when you wear it normally. I think my gasket position is slightly off fwiw, so you could've gotten more unlucky with your scan/print.
>cheaper like the Reverb would probably be better.
the g2 also has a small sweetspot, smaller than beyond in my experience. it does have the index head strap and audio which is nice but at that point you're better off with an actual index imo.
>>456784443
You'll still notice the pixels on pretty much every headset except for the ones with around 2.5k per eye resolution at minimum.
>>456784443
>he bought an index in almost 2024
>>456782232
Pret 2006 rocks, the other ones suck imo
>>456782398
Nice, is this for PCVR or quest?
>>456786397
i use linux so as far as i know my only upgrade options were that, the vive pro, or bigscreen beyond. support for wmr and streaming to standalones is not very good
>>456786809
steamlink works fine on linux, since it just uses the same steamvr driver that youre using to run your index. so you can use any oculus headset for wireless pcvr on linux just fine.
there are other wireless streaming apps for linux as well but steamlink is the best right now
>>456784443
You did good. I hate my G2 so much I'm almost willing to buy an Index, but I just feel like something better is coming out. I really wish I could just find a cheap kit second hand even just for the base stations and controllers alone. To have them just in case.
>>456787676
>I just feel like something better is coming out.
It's not.
im not being rude when i say this...but you really shouldnt be buying a fresnel headset like the index in 2023......
fresnel is dead tech, pancake is so much better that its horrible that people still buy fresnel. seriously, stop it.
>>456787676
Ironically I also just went to check my local market and there's a full index kit for ~750 bucks. Dude says it's brand new and he used it less than 10 hours because he has no time. I wonder if I should cop. Don't really need it, but might not be bad to have the stations and controllers. I could also do the gay G2 pairing mod (which is a tedious meme).
>>456787750
Somnium? Index 2?
>>456787860
Is the G2 fresnel? I hate it.
>>456788140
>Somnium
LMAO
>Index 2
True, just two more weeks until the announcement, may as well wait.
>>456787516
i've looked into alvr/alxr and all accounts say it's a piece of shit on linux.
the new steam link vr thing isn't in steamvr linux yet.
>>456787860
bigscreen would have been like twice the price, it's more expensive in my country due to taxes and doesn't even have fucking headphones
>>456788216
You're being an asshole but if I buy an Index right now and they REALLY do announce something in 2 weeks or like 2 months even, I'd be a mad gay retard. Unless I can still use the stations and controllers and they only release a head unit thing.
>>456788390
Hey anon don't fall for the bigshit begone shills. It's an overhyped meme. You don't need it.
>>456788140
yes the g2 is fresnel.
currently the only WIRED pancake headset is the bigscreen beyond, all other pancake headsets are wireless.
there is also aspheric lenses which are used in some pimax and varjo headsets and are arguably the best lenses you can get in a vr headset currently - but this isnt because they are the most clear its because they are the most balanced between clarity and light penetration.
the problem with pancake is that they lose like 90% of light coming through which means its likely impossible to make a wireless OLED pancake headset because itll have horrible battery life. the bigscreen beyond can do OLED because it is wired and can just push a ton of power to the display to get through the light loss, but it still doesnt have good blacks like the vive OLED did.
the reason we dont have aspheric lenses in everything is because theyre big as fuck and headsets are going in the direction of being as slim as possible.
which means in the coming generations we'll probably see a divide between enthusiast headsets using aspheric lenses with OLED displays and consumer headsets using pancakes and regular LED screens
fresnels are dead tech and were only ever used because they were cheap at the time
>>456788401
Yeah, but the 2 weeks meme is old as balls. Wait until Steam VR fest is over, then buy what you want.
If you buy an Index kit, you can upgrade to FBT pretty easily. If they make something new, you can upgrade in due time. You still need Lighthouse for controllers and FBT.
>>456788912
What are you talking about, the Beyond has perfect blacks. You can close your eyes while looking at a black scene and not notice any difference. There can be light bleed with black and white next to each other in a scene, but that's an issue even in flat oled monitors.
>>456779506
Yeah. Cruelty Squad is ludo.
>>456789781
my nigga i hate to tell you this but your eyelids must be grey inside, i have a bb on my forehead right now and it does not do black blacks.
>>456790076
It's the same when you unplug the headset outright and stare at the screen when no power is running through it at all vs. a completely black scene. Are you sure that the black scenes you are looking at aren't actually grey or fucked up by something like Starfield LUTS?
>>456789069
I'm not a gay tranny so I don't care about FBT though. Unless it's beneficial for Pavlov and shit, then maybe.
>>456788912
I just want a wired headset that doesn't use inside out tracking, is steam vr native, isn't from ch*na, has good fov, a decent resolution, and is at the very least 90hz, if not higher, and also not too-too expensive.
Basically what I want is literally the Index but with better lenses. They don't even need to be super duper clear. Why can't they just upgrade the head unit a bit?
>>456790476
Pavlov and video games besides Blade & Sorcery don't use FBT. It's not useful if you don't play VRChat. I think that you are out of luck as all of the headsets right now are made in China.
>>456790652
index is from china

Physical climbing, weapon two handing, radial menus, working sights, immersive driving, and it even works with custom levels kind of. It's sad that this is higher effort than actual Hitman VR which is a flat to VR port I'd consider bad.

>>456794814

>>456794832
It's easier in some ways with how the grabppendix is adjusted. It automatically retracts and shoots out again on a button press rather than making you wait. Some platforming as in Trauma Loop is harder, which sucks as you of course don't get the grabppendix the first time around.
>>456794980
yeah can't blame you. But I had some dosh left over from selling CS skins. So I might as well spend the 3 extra bucks to play it early.
>>456795168
neat I'll give it a shot, thanks for the info
having never played cyberpunk before, the cyberpunk Vr mod is the best VR thing ive ever played. the way the NPCs actually move realistically is so much better than the typical VR game besides Alyx, super immersive aside from the lack of motion controls.
>>456795714

might as well then

>>456796053
i played through it prior to the DLC and its definetly a good experience, some REALLY jarring scene cuts though that might make people sick if they arent used to VR. but if they can ever actually add motion controls to it, it would be one of the best VR experiences especially for melee builds.
All those games sucks I'm going back to VRChat

Personally I'm getting the fisherman sequel, TOSS and mothergunship:forge.
>>456798514
It's mediocre and I have a difficult time motivating myself to return to it after unlocking every gun. The top negative review describes well why the roguelike part isn't good enough.
How do you even play VRC? I literally cannot talk to people.
>>456798514
It's fun. Nice and clean gameplay with very little jank. Not a huge amount of variety though I haven't played all the classes. Feels nice to play. Praying mechanic is well done. Every class will have one primary and one secondary. You go through a short level of enemies and eventually reach a boss. There's three or four bosses in total. Enemies are dogs, giant laser monsters, and guys with guns of various types. As you level up your classes you can buy permanent upgrades for them and unlock new classes. Throughout the level you'll get the opportunity to perks for your character and charms for your guns which last for as long as the run.
The price is reasonable for what you're getting out of the box.

I took a decent 3 month break and coming back to VRC felt new again, it did completely change how I spend my time in VRC. It was interesting to see the handful of people that unfriended me in my break without reaching out but that's life.
>>456803786
I literally do not care anymore how many hours I get out of a game. 2 hours is perfectly fine for me.
If I need to play more videogames, I can get infinite hours out of VRChat for free. Or play any of the many timesink games based upon dynamically generated content and/or multiplayer. But fuck those, I want handcrafted singleplayer experiences.
The new PC version of Arashi finally came out today. Does anyone who played the PSVR version have any opinions? I love that it's dubbed in Japanese but I'm worried that it'll be short.
>>456804751
I'll do the same. See you guys in March
>>456790476
I think there's a few games that have a bit of body tracking stuff in them but it's pretty much so those fags in trannychat can pretend to fuck each other or whatever it is they do.
>>456804760
I'll pay for a unique experience. Like, the RoomVR was actually good. Fisherman's tale has some jank and worth paying for. Not worth 30 bucks, but still worth paying for. Alyx was worth every penny. Lone Echo was worth the money, and lone echo II wasn't bad but not as good as the first. All the 2 dollar 'experiences' which are just 360 videos with narration aren't worth even that little amount.
Half-finished shooters and "sword+sorcery with goblins" are not worth paying for. They're diluting the market with shovelware.
The fact that VR mods for proper games is still better than 99% of the native market is pathetic. I shouldn't be able to say Skyrim VR is better than most of the market. Because skyrim VR is trash.
VRChat isn't a game. It's a chatroom for weeaboo's and groomers.

Really weird how there's literally zero hype and news around the Somnium, despite it allegedly being announced this month and the first units shown at their convention in January I think it was? I don't want it to be a scam, because it sounds so good, butt hat good could turn into too good to be true. They're sending actual units to Bradlington (allegedly) this month but I don't know man. Literally nobody is talmbout it.

You will never get a Double Yakuman. You have no Junsei, you have no 9 sided wait, you have no 13 sided wait. You are an addict twisted by Riichi's and Dora into a crude mockery of a native tile clacker.
All the Han you get is baby and worthless. People Ron you right in your face. Your flow is non existent, and you never draw east/your wind tiles. The Parlor is utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of hands played have allowed others to read your hand with incredible efficiency.
Even nips who "never play" are incredibly more skilled than you. Your discards are a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get into tenpai, you'll never get close to Ron'ing the dealer. You will never win a yaku. You wrench out a fake smile every single hanchan and tell yourself it's going to be ok, but deep inside you feel yourself dealing in more and more.
Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll stop hosting, change your name, and go permanently red. No one will be able to invite you, relieved that there's no possiblility of you touching tiles again. They'll throw your name up on the hall of fame, upside down, with a caption that says "Here lies anon, he never even got a yaku". Your VRChat account and thousands of hours you've acquired will virtually rust, and that picture will be all that remains of your legacy as a tile clacker.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

In terms of price/ performance, where does the new Vive ultimate trackers sit? Base station tracking is ~100$/tracker + 2 x 150$ base stations so ~600$ total for FBT maybe cheaper used. But the issues with those are the occlusion and random drifting. When VUT gets pc/other standalone support it'll be $600 for FBT for all headsets, it'll may work for all future headsets released too. You wont be stuck with the base station tracking devices. Rumor is that tracking is as good if not better than basestation. And it works in most environments. IMU are the cheapest but drift and require many calibrations. So for the best performance VUT seems to be the winner. That said, its hard to trust Vive to to much right.

All they have to do is match the existing trackers in a hybrid setup to be worth getting for anyone that doesn't already have base stations.
I won't believe they actually work that well until normal people get them and regularly use them outside of an ideal environment though.

Into the Radius, Again
Recently I've been having this issue with my Q2 where it shows as fully charged (oculus dashboard AND green LED) when it obviously isnt, this is while plugged to the wall and in use.
My PD charger was able to keep it charging forever while in use but now the Q2 randomly decides to stop drawing power and the battery drains slowly.
This happened to anyone here before? at this rate I don't know if it was an update or something that fucked it up because is not even consistent.

I believe it's designed to not sit at 100% charge all the time even if it's plugged in since that isn't good for the battery life, if it's just dropping down to around 90% I think that's normal. If it's stopping charging at 50% or something then you might have a faulty cable or something.

Most of what I'm using is strictly optional. The nazi flags and assaultron maids are only there for personal taste.
You probably want to do something like https://rentry.org/pofw5 for the vanilla game working well in VR, and maybe get one of the Steam Deck texture packs if you have a potato.
>>456836723
Cheers.
>>456835665
The thing is that its been happening at any charge percentage, the led turns green, oculus dash says 100% but VD/Steam Link display the real charge level, so essentially the headset stops drawing extra power unless I unplug/plug, but at that point I am just waiting until it does it again.
I thought it would be the cable/charger too but I tried with all of them and it happens randomly with all of them, battery life looks fine, still lasts 2ish hours over VD in a full charge so I dunno.

Anyone have experience with other high end headsets other than the beyond? For mostly pcvr and sims but also for media consumption. Looking at the pimax crystal for its (eventual) wireless function and no jeep for light houses. But, the varjo aero looks good too now with the price cut.

I really hope that The Black Labyrinth comes soon so I can do another proper playthrough as I didn't realize that Evil difficulty was available until after I beat the game (It's too easy).

>>456765052
A lot of the review videos on the Crystal mention these issues. Sounds even worse then the Beyond. Problem is only the Crystal and the Vive Pro offer any kind of wireless PCVR that uses base station tracking and would work my my Knuckles controllers. i got a Vive Pro 2 with the wireless add on last year but returned it because it was such a piece of shit. It broke almost instantly. I was getting 5 frames a second on wireless mode, even after plugging the cable back in this was the issue. The wireless adapter did something fucked up to brick my headset. Thankfully I ordered all of it through Amazon and was able to refund everything.
>>456774345
A lot of people seem to dislike Pimax, sounds like they have not improved upon their issues with the Crystal. Quest Pro might be a good option but I'd need to get new hookups for my different gun stocks since I couldn't use my Knuckles. Without the ring on the top they won't mount correctly to my VRS Mark 3 gun stock.
>>456774894
I just emailed them about the issues with the through the lens picture quality. I mentioned the face cushion thing.
>>456785384
I just tried this and the picture was noticeably better but the bottom third of my lenses are still blurry. The cushion must be too thick but the distortion on the bottom of the lenses is still always noticeable and super distracting. I'm wondering if my lenses are defective, I've heard some other people have had issues with this. I find it hard that the g2 could have a smaller sweet spot then the Beyond. For what I spent I could have just bought the Varjo Aero.
Now my right index controller is acting all fucked up. The trigger keeps sticking. Wonder if I could fix this myself or if I have to replace it. I've only had these about 15 months.

no matter the headset you settle on in the future, they'll all benefit from lighthouses and controllers
>>456865837
Pimax lives entirely out of sim market, their headsets are not a bad choice if you only ever plan to play seated experiences without VR controllers. For everything else it's abyssmal.
>I find it hard that the g2 could have a smaller sweet spot then the Beyond
G2 will teach you to not move your eyes, ever. It has tiniest sweet spot out of all fresnels but the tradeoff is that the picture is extremely clear in the sweetspot.

I recently got a Pico 4 myself with pretty much all the accessories possible for it, AMVR facial gasket is pretty much a must if you have a European type of head. Bobovr battery strap helps quite a bit as well and makes it a bit more comfy, yet it reduces the adjustment know just a bit, so it can be kinda a negative if you have big head.
Also A BIG THING that I found recently is that you can do indeed do wireless without buying an expensive WIFI 6 router. You can use a WIFI hotspot method using SPECIFICALLY a Mediatek MT7921K m.2 wifi card that you later put on either a PCIe x1 adapter card or swap it in your PC motherboard if you have an available slot.
Intel m.2 WIFI AX cards the usual PCIe wifi card comes with DO NOT WORK because they skipped the 5Ghz band, they only come in 2.4Ghz and 6Ghz, but the Mediatek I mention does come with the 5Ghz band too, so you can launch Hotspot mode on windows with no issues. 6Ghz hotspot is yet unavailable due of telecommunication restrictions as of yet afaik, besides windows still doesn't have any 6G hotspot support anyways.
It exists a single Intel AX card that allows you to connect a VR directly, but you are forced to have a 12th gen or newer Intel platform, and its only for Meta Quest 2 onwards, so yeah, better not bother since, who these days even builds a PC with an Intel CPU except it was on sale these days lmao.
As for the Pico 4, I tried it with the streamer assistance app and its ok, but it still was a bit lackluster, so I bought Virtual Desktop for it, looked much better, but still the main culprit ended up being both my ISP router which is shit, and the WIFI card that my PC has its just 488mbps max, so its a barely serviceable WIFI card.
The Mediatek wifi card I found it on aliexpress, with the PCIe x1 adapter costed me in total like $22 shipped, now im waiting for it to arrive. Lucky me that I know a bit of spanish and these guys have quite a bit of good stuff you don't find on usual english channels.
>>456875231
I find the factory gasket pretty comfy, should I still get the AMVR one? Costs a bit much but if it's really better than I'll get it.
>>456875231
>Intel m.2 WIFI AX cards the usual PCIe wifi card comes with DO NOT WORK because they skipped the 5Ghz band
mine works just fine
>>456875831
I have an M2 wifi slot on my motherboard, I'm thinking of using that. I'm kind of confused which wifi card to get, do they come with antennas?
>>456875831
Cool, the guy who made the video had Pico 4, Q2 and Q3 and never managed to do the hotspot method, he said he had another issue regarding the Q3 using 6Ghz that only got fixed with using a WIFI 6E router.
I dunno if you, or anyone else knows spanish but I will leave it here anyways, dunno if the CC translation will be good enough for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56DWIsNHKkU
>>456875526
If it is comfy for ya, then keep it, for me it was unbearable, also accessories on aliexpress are cheaper than on other places imo, but obviously the downside is the waiting time. Also I got pretty much everything for a low price since it was the 11.11 thing and I used a nice coupon code.
Well, its to you, I'll link it up here anon

>>456876481
Mine did. But they're aren't the greatest and are stuck behind your PC. Honestly, you should just cough up an extra $20 and get a cheap used AX router, because a hotspot lacks way too many features. I can't even change the wifi channel. I hear a netgear wax202 is good.

>>456864036
Now that you can look for 128gb Quest 2 for under $200 used, then yeah, it is a good time to get into it without overexpending.
>>456864415
Deckard will at least come out in April next year, around same time Pico 5 comes to the market as well, besides it will be much more expensive, which is something I wouldn't recommend for first time VR users to get into, unless you are very keen on VR stuff.
I'm looking into buying a Quest 2 for the sole purpose of playing Beat Saber with custom maps and mods. Unfortunately for me, this is one of those times where my obsession with rhythm games comes in conflict with my moral compass regarding locked down devices with draconian policies/DRM and privacy. I don't have the money nor a potent enough PC for something like the valve index.
How is the hacking/modding scene for the Quest 2?
Is it possible to set it up without account/remove account and telemetry?
Can the device be jailbroken/rooted?
Are there any significant limitations imposed on modding games on the device?
Do I have to mind the firmware version of the device for any additional functionality?
Is the smartphone app required for any of this, and if so, can I use something like WayDroid or BlissOS in a VM to set it up once and never touch it again?
Once set up, is an internet connection required for anything important like installing and using software?
So far I've found out about SideQuest and Oculess, which presumably remediate some of my issues with this, but information about how well these work is constantly changing and currently unclear, so I'd love to know if someone else who has tried making the quest at least slightly more sane has any experience with how well these solutions work.
>>456878691
>How is the hacking/modding scene for the Quest 2?
Mods and homebrew are decently alive.
>Is it possible to set it up without account/remove account and telemetry?
You need account for setup and dev mode that will allow you to remove the telemetry later. Note that without account it's only usable as PC HMD.
>Can the device be jailbroken/rooted?
No, there's not even any effort to do so anymore.
>Are there any significant limitations imposed on modding games on the device?
Updates usually break the mods but that's it.
>Do I have to mind the firmware version of the device for any additional functionality?
FW autoupdates but it's possible to downgrade. There's no reason to stick to any particular version.
>Is the smartphone app required for any of this, and if so, can I use something like WayDroid or BlissOS in a VM to set it up once and never touch it again?
Only needed for first setup, you can safely nuke it afterwards.
>Once set up, is an internet connection required for anything important like installing and using software?
Except for sideloading own APKs you need to connect and login to install anything from the store.
Standalone Quest is VR console, you have very little control and even if you had some there's very little you can do with it when not connected to Zucc.
>>456879315
Thanks! From what I gather, the quest 2 is perfectly fine as a standalone headset as well, so I'll probably end up using it like that once I have a good PC for it, so I guess in that respect it's not any more locked down than the rest of 'em, at least, when set up like that.
>You need account for setup and dev mode that will allow you to remove the telemetry later. Note that without account it's only usable as PC HMD.
Annoying, but alright, I'll spend an evening on making throwaways then.
>No, there's not even any effort to do so anymore.
Any reason why? Is PCVR just better/easier in general so people stopped bothering treating it as a standalone console?
>FW autoupdates but it's possible to downgrade.
This is awesome information for whenever they find a good exploit. Is there any guide for doing this so I can add it to my notes?
>Only needed for first setup, you can safely nuke it afterwards.
Disappointing but workable.
>Except for sideloading own APKs you need to connect and login to install anything from the store.
I expect this is primarily what I'll be doing, anyway, if it's possible to obtain games as standalone APKs.
>Standalone Quest is VR console, you have very little control and even if you had some there's very little you can do with it when not connected to Zucc.
I can see that, and I kind of hate myself for contributing to it by allowing it and getting such a device. Unfortunately, economics are at play...
>>456879937
There was one guy exactly that tried to jailbreak Quest but he gave up. Literally nobody else with needed skills and equipment gives a single fuck about VR and nobody with devkit gives a single fuck about jailbreaks. There isn't even any active effort in finding exploits. Mainly because you don't need jailbreak to pirate games and 90% of users are kids that are too retarded to sideload.
If you pirate you obviously don't need to be connected. Keep in mind that lots of games are always online only, even singleplayer ones.
>>456881352
>Keep in mind that lots of games are always online only, even singleplayer ones.
Literally the worst meme in the video game industry as a whole, and not because it prevents me from pirating it. I'd gladly pay for it if it was released on something like GOG.
Anyway, yeah I get it, VR is primarily a novelty enjoyed by basedboys who'll gladly take as many dildoes up the ass as necessary. I just really wish this wasn't the way technology evolved over the years.

That headset also has its negatives/tradeoffs. No mic, no audio solution, FoV is apparently even smaller than Beyond, it's heavy and huge, and you have to go through thirdparty Varjo software.
Sadly the perfect headset still does not exist.

Also by the way I'm baffled how bad the SteamVR overlay is compared to the Oculus overlay on the CV1. Opening desktops only works if I actually start a game, and even then I can't click on shit 80% of the time and explorer.exe just straight up crashes when I touch the tray.
Should I get Virtual Desktop or something? Does that work wired? Also I already found games where it would need to use the menu button on the left controller, but one button (the circle) is taken up by the Pico overlay, and the other is taken up for SteamVR, so I can't open the menu in the game... It will take time getting used to.
>>456884817
B&S is definitely worth a try, even though it's a physics tech demo. Boneworks is also a game of value, it has properly neat atmosphere and soundtrack, and it's often just plain fun even though high-level gameplay design might fall a little bit short in favor of physics gimmicks. You may or may not want to give Primitier a shot, it recently got an update with space exploration(??) and I can't wait to give it a proper shot.
Though I got a feeling we're a very different kind of vidya enjoyers, so things I like might seem lame to you. Still, I'd say those tree are very much worth considering.
>>456885104
>and even then I can't click on shit 80% of the time
I also have this issue with SteamVR desktop windows, it's super annoying. Wouldn't say it happens 80% of the time to me but at least high enough to where it pisses me off when the cursor will just randomly not click in desktop.
>Also I already found games where it would need to use the menu button on the left controller, but one button (the circle) is taken up by the Pico overlay, and the other is taken up for SteamVR, so I can't open the menu in the game
You can go into controller bindings in SteamVR for the game and rebind bindings.
>>456885332
>I also have this issue with SteamVR desktop windows, it's super annoying.
Yeah I just don't know. And Steaming assistant is actually unclickable when looking at it through the steamvr desktop, so I have to take the headset off/ go into passthrough. Passthrough is nice, but I had games where they just forgot my controllers ever existed after switching back from passthrough mode.
>You can go into controller bindings in SteamVR for the game and rebind bindings.
Ah yeah, thanks I'll just do that next time it's a problem. I wish the left controller's circle button wasn't hardcoded though.

they've repeatedly said they're working on a new headset, even recently
but i doubt it will come out any time soon
>>456885104
Its definitely a SteamVR issue, also I had a problem when I changed the settings on the Pico Stream Assistant while SteamVR was open and made my PC crash, only way to fix it was to revert settings to default on it.
Virtual Desktop on the other hand is just vastly superior in every way, even now that I have a shitty router I still manage to make it run better than with Pico Assistant. I haven't tested using USB-C directly yet, but I think also that you wont see that much improvement compared to what it was with the Pico 3 using Displayport, since that one had a lower resolution screen too, just make sure to pick a good router or WIFI card like the Mediatek I posted above. Some anons might say the hotspot method sucks cuz is limited, but I think that its just a better and cheaper solution, besides there is also some other WIFI antennas you could use that just use USB 3.0, great if you have a good laptop and you wanna bring the VR along if you are in that area of need. Now if you can get the router, just do so, it will improve not only your VR connection, but also everything else you have at home.
As for the "Opening Desktops" only with a game running, you could buy Desktop Portal on Steam, its cheap and very comfy, I think it also has some features similar to XSOverlay as well, and the dev that made it is the one that made Gorilla Tag.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1178460/Desktop_Portal/
>>456887915
Alright, seems I'll shill out for Virtual Desktop then. Also desktop portal seems nice, I think I'll buy it and see.
As for wireless, yeah I'll try, the quality wasn't that bad with streaming assistant when I turned bitrate to auto, though I dunno if it uses NVENC for encoding or not.
>>456856729
just get a 20000mah anker battery and clip it to your belt with a phone holder.
>>456889991
>>456856729
unironically this, but can be a bit bad for pypy, i kinda want to try this battery now
>>456889171
I think they all use GPU encoding by default, now with Virtual Desktop you have the option to choose the specific codec you want to use, shamefully AV1 is only supported by the Quest 3, the Snapdragon XR2 doesn't decode AV1, only the Gen 2 version does.
>>456890558
>AV1
Yeah I only have a 3090 which doesn't encode AV1 anyway. Guess I'm sitting AV1 out for now.
>>456889171
>>456890558
You can tell if they're not using NVENC or AMF by your CPU being smashed to absolute shit.
>>456891226
It's barely fucking worth it. The codec in theory is best for low bitrates and for recovering from decode errors, neither of which apply to VR streaming. It has maybe a 1% VMAF adv over the current nvidia HEVC encoders at high bitrates all the while people report higher latencies sometimes.
The NVENC (and even more so AMF) AV1 hardware encoders suck compared to the potential and i fucking wish people could research this shit before parroting opinions of others.
>>456878691
>moral compass regarding locked down devices with draconian policies/DRM and privacy
> I don't have the money
I think there's a correlation somewhere
>>456891226
I also have the same GPU and honestly, you aren't missing out on much, besides AV1 does add latency, so its only worth using if you have a 4070Ti or higher, since those have the double encoder chip, some consider that for more high paced games that is just better to lower the quality one tier down and stick to HEVC/H.265
Also another important thing is, that you have to buy Virtual Desktop on your headset's store, not on Steam. The Steam version of VD is for stuff like the old Oculus or Valve Index, VR headsets that worked using a cable, not wireless.
>>456891562
Yeah, that's why many people still recommend getting a high end GPU anyways over the "recommended" settings all due of encoding stuff, because when something like a 2060 reaches peak usage, the latency just goes apeshit if are in wireless mode.
AV1 for VR usage is still on diapers, for video production or streaming/recording shit like OBS its were its more useful, since the latency there wont matter.
>>456891898
>that you have to buy Virtual Desktop on your headset's store, not on Steam.
Oh yeah I saw it on the Pico store, I'll get it a bit later. I just ordered the gasket sent above and some silicone protectors so I don't smash or scratch the headset up, I'll get VD as well though I don't have that big of a play area, so even cable is pretty good for now.
>>456886449
most of them yes, if I had to pick favourites it would be Beat Saber, Pistol whip, Synth Riders, Slinger, Sairento, Serious Sam, Walkabout, clockwinder, Alyx, Altdeus
the least liked were Warhammer and Surgeon Simulator and half life 1 vr
>>456892371 (me)
Also related to Streaming Assistant, my voice on Wireless mode sounds like I've been abducted by slenderman, it's this cursed static like I'm speaking from Mars or something, so the mic only works on cable for now. I wonder if it will work on VD.
>>456891748
What?

What's the verdict on the new steam link compared to air play or vd?
>>456894385
no, only poors have "moral compasses" when buying toys below 10k usd
>>456865176
oh I didn't think of that, I'll try to cook one up though
>>456898365
Has been a mixed bag for now, some people have said it runs better than Air, and other claimed that ran like total shit.
>>456898106
It's After the Fall, from the same devs, all over again. A few short levels and a lot of progression-grind from replaying them. If the Left 4 Dead mod gets manual reloading we can all treat this like it's a bad dream.
>>456898365
Pretty much everyone agrees VD is still better.
>>456899419
Not if you have a Quest Pro.
>>456899701
I guess? I'm still waiting for the facetracking to actually work with it.
>>456899230
It has the same gun models from After the Fall too. Seems lazy for a full priced game.
>>456899701
So true, is just much better in latency with eye tracking foviated rendering, and there are no artifacts
Also very important for hybrid, remembers the anchores for quest and steam playspaces, so you don't need to calibrate every time you take headset on, even after a whole day it still works

People say the bobovr shit is good, I just bought a generic chinese one and it works fine
>>456900760
bobovr batteries don't have the power output for quest3
>>456901173
I got one without battery and just velcro strap an external battery to it. I think it still drains, but very slowly
