yep

hexed notch
#

i got mine before, but many of my friends were waiting to buy theirs and got screwed

jagged scarab
#

I ordered Quest but i'm debating of just canceling it

#

and try to get Rift S instead

hexed notch
#

get it, then sell it for $600 🀣

jagged scarab
#

cus afterall, it's not getting shipped out till next month

#

according to Oculus store that is.

sullen linden
#

@hexed notch Would you happen to know what size the torx screw in the index speakers is? I need to tighten mine and I have nothing that small

hexed notch
#

it fits the tr6 from my ifixit kit

#

tr7 is too big

sullen linden
#

Yeah I'd rather just buy a cheap toolkit instead of a ifixit since I rarely have any use for them

hexed notch
#

yea

#

but idk if they are all standardized :/

jagged scarab
#

Thanks for the discussion tho guys

#

Learned quite a bit of info about VR

hexed notch
#

theres a bunch of cool stuff thats gonna happen to vr in the future

sullen linden
#

It's starting to get annoying whenever I duck the speakers move and ruin the audio

hexed notch
#

apparently we arent even back to where the valve vr testing lab was back in 2013
tho their headset cost a million bucks per unit

#

oh no

#

that doesnt work

jagged scarab
#

valve vr testing lab

hexed notch
#

working on 3 "future gaming experiences"

#

lets see if you can guess the other two

jagged scarab
#

Haven't been keeping up with games lately

hexed notch
#

well

#

one of them happened and failed horribly

jagged scarab
#

Portal?

hexed notch
#

and the other was canceled and sold to the lead engineer of the project for $100

#

portal

#

failed horribly

#

what

jagged scarab
#

.

#

I dunno

hexed notch
#

portal was one of the most successful games from valve

#

even tho it was released as an appology

#

lol

jagged scarab
#

You told me to guess two

hexed notch
#

its not software

#

its hardware

#

anywas

#

one of them was steam machines

#

"revolutionizing tv gaming"
lmao

#

bombed so hard that japan had flashbacks

jagged scarab
#

Oh the hardware side of things

#

Ye I knew that one

hexed notch
#

then the one that got sold to the lead developer was ar

#

and its pretty hype

jagged scarab
#

πŸ‘€

hexed notch
#

$100 headset that can run on integrated graphics at 180hz

jagged scarab
#

????????????

#

what

hexed notch
#

yep

#

but its ar

jagged scarab
#

Interesting squint

hexed notch
#

now it requires an expensive mat

jagged scarab
#

expensive mat

sullen linden
#

Oh yeah the screw on the speakers is a torx t6

hexed notch
#

anyways im gonna play some pistol whip now cause this made me want to play some more vr

jagged scarab
#

o it's used thonk

hexed notch
#

ebay

jagged scarab
#

OMEGALUL Should I go for it

#

It prob beats having to wait longer

hexed notch
#

but gouging...

jagged scarab
#

Well yeah but rn, I would have to pay 546 dollars with taxes included

#

for 128 gb oculus quest

hexed notch
#

yes

jagged scarab
#

yes to rift s?

hexed notch
#

no im saying yes thats how much you would have to pay for the unnescessarily large quest

jagged scarab
#

Well, that's better than paying 700 dollars for that type

#

when I was trying to get 64 gb instead

#

panicked n brought 128 before it sold out

hexed notch
#

thats not straight from oculus tho

#

just wait dude

#

not worth

jagged scarab
#

I guess.

#

I was just a tad bit disappointed with the fact the hand tracking doesn't do anything currently and the fact Rift S is better overall

#

except Rift S is just tethered to the PC, which what I was gonna do with the quest anyways

hexed notch
#

quest = rift s

#

but it sacrifices latency for being able to play games on the go

#

they use the same finger tracking

jagged scarab
#

I'd mostly just wanna play beat saber n vr chat

#

and as what Linus mentioned in the quest with link cable, if you turn your head fast. you'd get the black bars on the side

#

as it's loading in data

hexed notch
#

beat saber you dont turn your head that fast

#

and vrchat isnt fast

jagged scarab
#

I guess so thonk

#

but i dunno.

#

It just beats paying 546

hexed notch
#

how about paying $0

#

remember

#

we are going into a recession

#

having money saved is a good idea

jagged scarab
#

...Fair point

spring mantle
#

speaking of vr

#

hl vr ai

#

is the best

#

and

#

let me quote it

sullen linden
#

It really isn't though

#

Combat can be quite boring because the combine just stand still and you can just keep shooting them from behind cover most of the time

#

Also if you throw a grenade at their feet they just kinda stare at it until it exlodes

#

Guys my laptop has the small DisplayPort. Does that mean it’s VR ready? The rest of the specs are above minimum requirements. I ran the official test from steam and it said maybe.

calm timber
#

do any of you have the oculus dk2 drivers because when I upgraded my wardrive to a 1tb ssd some of the data was lost

#

also Mrmrmr2000 I am running a 970sc and a 3770 and it works fine so you should be fine

hexed notch
#

@thorny kindle need to find a good adapter probably

umbral zenith
#

vr doesn't like to run through adapters and can get finnicky

#

fyi

hexed notch
#

mini displayport to displayport is passive

haughty thistle
#

Be weary of cheap mDP to DP adapters, as they are usually not properly shielded. Not a problem for normal desktops, but can cause issues with VR I heard...

thorny kindle
#

I think it’s worth a try

calm timber
#

I already asked this but I could not find the response but so any of you know where the drivers of the oculus dk2

hexed notch
#

thats gonna be a browse google for a while sort of deal

dull haven
#

A GC do you recomend for VR ?

rocky wing
#

Hey guys, quick question for you all. I'm wanting to play vr in another area in my house, the problem is I can't necessarily move my pc and don't want to shell out the money for a whole vr htpc setup, is there a way to stream it to a Raspberry Pi or somthing and have a decent game?

hexed notch
#

quest?

#

otherwise vr streaming is out of the question

rocky wing
#

no, lenovo explorer

hexed notch
#

sorry fam

#

active extension cables?

rocky wing
#

Extension cables could not reach the area I want to play in

pale orbit
haughty thistle
#

@rocky wing Sadly, that's really the only way to play VR:
Either get a headset that contains everything you need, or get a PC in the area where you wanna play

#

Whether the PC in the latter option is a Laptop or a full-on desktop doesn#t matter as long as it is capable of running the games locally

#

Like Carmonben said, all longer distance VR streaming systems kinda suck. I tried ALVR which turns the Oculus Quest into a wireless PCVR headset through the 5GHz Wifi on the Quest, and it absolutely sucked

burnt lichen
#

Hello Help... Where can I find Valve index headset replacement cable??

sullen linden
#

@burnt lichen Contact steam support? They might give you a replacement if it's under warranty.

sudden sun
#

@haughty thistle I tried ALVR and riftcat for my Quest and they both sucked, but Virtual Desktop worked great for me - of course still not totally as good as wired link but usable

gentle coral
#

The only other way to get other room VR is if you have ethernet or coaxial cable between the rooms then you can use the vive wireless adapter setup (it uses coaxial, but it might be possible to adapt to ethernet using a converter. No matter what you would need at least a 1Gb connection between the rooms (10Gb would be better). As you need the wigig transmitter in the same area as the vr headset, and a really good connection between the wigig transmitter and the computer.

austere pumice
#

Would anyone know why Half Life Alyx is always crashing for me? Like 5 seconds into the game and it crashes. I can't do anything.

gentle coral
#

In a few years (or sooner) remote room VR will be doable in the same way as local game streaming between local machines is now.

#

@rocky wing this is a little bit expensive but vive sells a 20m extension

#

sadly it's dp

#

i think its like

#

500$ lol

cold vapor
#

how do i mod beat saber?

#

i mean get custom maps

sullen linden
#

@cold vapor You should join the official beat saber modding group discord. They have all the instructions there and you can ask for help too.

#

can you dm me the link?

sullen linden
#

Yeah

I know that beat saber already has 2 versions of supernova but i had to make a third. It was at the request of a friend anyways lol

#

I just couldn't stop myself

willow crypt
#

this will be fun, fast song with notes spread out or slower with notes closer together to both have the same number of notes

#

here's a hint, fast is better

spring mantle
#

@valid crag is it on quest?

#

If you put it up on bfmb it will be

#

Bmbf**

haughty thistle
#

Any and all custom songs on Beast Saber are. BMBF is pulling the songs from the same API as Beast Saber...

Thanks

#

yoink

flat monolith
#

@valid crag you make map?

valid crag
#

ye

flat monolith
#

patterns were a bit weird other then that its pretty nice

valid crag
#

thanks

#

i get bored of the same patterns being used by other mappers

flat monolith
#

yeah it makes it awks tho

#

still pretty decent map

valid crag
#

i can make maps with normal patterns when someone requests a song. other than that its just my mapping style

flat monolith
#

what other maps have you made?

valid crag
#

a lot

flat monolith
#

got them on beat saver?

#

send a link

#

i wanna try em

valid crag
flat monolith
#

hmm

valid crag
#

idk how good you are

#

maybe not that

#

im t180 world

valid crag
#

holy shit

flat monolith
#

i already have your unstoppable map installed KEKW

#

i dont think i played it though

#

thats my scoresaber

#

i remember your 6 lane milk crown tho OmegaLUL

valid crag
#

i feel bad now because im still learning alot about making hard maps

flat monolith
#

dont feel bad

#

honestly with what youve done its better then 90% of the mappers i know

#

things to fix tho especially on that ltt map

#

if you wanna get better at fast mapping

#

the dot spam was a bit monka

#

everything else was on time and to a degree hittable so its not out the question to fc it

#

i sightread a 93 3 miss

#

more you practice the better youll get

valid crag
#

i get it tho, ive been mapping for a year and a half now and im still learning stuff

flat monolith
#

not bad going

flat monolith
#

camellia map πŸ‘€

#

ill set scores on a few of your maps when im in the mood to play againe

valid crag
#

i know this now and its easy to fix but when i made the map i did the NspD calculation wrong so the blocks come at you really far away and really fast.

flat monolith
#

yeah, so NJS wouldve been too high

#

good NJS for faster maps is anywehere between 20-24

#

acc maps between 8-12

#

anything in between is a generic map

dusty ice
#

sorry bot doesn't seem to care about spaces in its filtering

flat monolith
#

yeah i gathered KEKW

#

no worries

valid crag
#

@flat monolith not exactly but i learned my lesson when i requested it to doot

flat monolith
#

LMAO

#

ill have to tell him about that

valid crag
#

the tempo is an important factor too

flat monolith
#

but get NJS fixed and thatll be solid

#

for doot though he likes anything fast he doesnt really care for acc

#

meanwhile im not too fussed as i do a lot of acc

#

hence my 92.5 ranked acc

#

so for me personally i wont be fussed on speed so 002shrug

#

as long as the map doesnt bore the everliving heck out of me i wont be bothered

valid crag
#

this is what it looks like

flat monolith
#

reset at 0:55 will be hard to hit

#

triple right stack is also a bit odd

#

its playable but defo needs some work

#

you could ask a few of the mods over in scoresaber for help on it? will give requirements for rank but im sure that doesnt matter too much

#

as for myself idk much for mapping

#

or unless your british i can give you an invite to the BBSD?

#

rest of it feels comfyPepe

#

sliders at 1:22 looks nice as hell

#

looks like a hard song to pass, partially mapping partially difficulty

#

walls are nice asf dowe

valid crag
#

well yea, some parts are nice, some are impossible. I think its still infinitely better than my previous attempt at rain of amethyst

flat monolith
#

i mean judging by how it looked on doots strem yeah

#

i can try passing it but 002shrug

#

may take me a while

valid crag
#

im going to reupload it with all this stuff in mind today

flat monolith
#

SataniaThumbsUp make sure to get some playtesters too if you know any

valid crag
#

myself is all i know, and doot + tempex and other streamers

#

atomicx banned me from his streams

flat monolith
#

oh lmao

#

uh well

#

i tried it

#

the streams are borderline impossible

#

however the nordics pass that i have got no idea

valid crag
#

how even

soft quarry
#

Vive tracker dongles aren't detected when plugged into USB hub what do I do

soft hound
#

What kind of hub is it?

#

I have mine in a 2.0 hub, on the front USB port

soft quarry
#

mine looks like that but it's a 3.0 hub but it's plugged into a 2.0

sullen linden
#

I have mine in an old 2.0 hub and they work fine

#

They're not plugged in directly like yours though

soft quarry
#

mine looks like that picture

#

except i have an extension cable, which plugging the dongle directly into the extension cable they work fine btw

indigo wedge
chrome peak
#

Are you playing it on Oculus or steamvr? Which headset are you using/

soft quarry
#

vive

#

vive trackers don't work with oculus afaik

#

and if they do they're not supposed to

#

problem being i can't pair my trackers when in a usb hub because when i have the controllers paired it tells me max devices, but when not using a usb hub i can connect all 4 at once

soft hound
#

So in other words, the wireless receivers aren't working with your USB hub

#

Try adding one tracker at a time, while your controllers are off

soft quarry
#

with my controllers off it just pairs the trackers to the headset

#

oh and i tried a different usb hub same deal

soft hound
#

After weeks of waiting, I finally got to pay for my Index stuff, and now I can finally install Alyx

hexed notch
#

like i have fewer hours than that dude does

#

but still well over 1000
and the cable holder thingey that he says always breaks is still just fine

soft quarry
#

he also did a vr hand stand and fell on his head while wearing it

sullen linden
#

I've done a couple hand stands too but I make sure nothing is tangled or will get caught on something

soft quarry
#

but he fell on the index

#

so half of the problems are probably due to a human falling onto it

#

that's like me kicking a monitor into a wall after 10 hours then writing a review saying it broke after 10 hours

sullen linden
#

That is also why I don't do it without something like a wall behind me to stop the possible fall

soft quarry
#

so i wouldn't trust that

void grove
#

Is viveport infinity worth it?

haughty thistle
#

To anyone owning an Index thinking about getting one:
Just keep in mind that the cable is a ticking time bomb. No matter how much you take care of your Index, the cable will over time fail. Mine just started to show the so called "star-field" (aka the screens show little white dots appearing randomly) and I did take good care of my headset

#

It's a great headset, don't get me wrong, but this is a flaw in the construction of the headset, and I feel like there's next to nothing Valve can do to fix it, unless they re-issue an new way of routing the cable around the headstrap...

soft quarry
#

this is why wireless is great

#

can't break a cable if there isn't one

#

i have been doing beat saber for the past few hours with only one break, i fell like i am about to collapse

#

For one of the songs I'm playing on beat saber, when I play it, it's just a blank, greyish black screen and I can't pause it and exit to the menu, making me close and reopen beat saber. Only the easy mode works and all of my other custom songs work. Any ideas?

whats it like to use vr without glasses for a glasses user?

#

is everything kind of out of focus and smooth or what?

#

Anyone else notice how new oculus devices simply dont exist anymore?

sullen linden
#

do you mean new releases?

past imp
#

GTX 1650 super + half-life alyx?

sullen linden
#

ive played it on a 1060 at low

#

you should be alright on low maybe a few drops here and there

mortal knoll
#

No as in devices. Out of stock everywhere

#

Rift s and quest came back today and sold instantly so I didn't stand a chance. Looks like I'm sticking with a DK2 and no controllers as ps move sucks ass

flat monolith
#

Made a grip list for those on BS with Quest and Rift S

sullen linden
#

yeah its all this corona stuff disrupting supply chains

#

stock was already really low before so it just meant they were out of stock for ages

mortal knoll
#

Yeah I didnt think just how badly vr would have been affected.

#

Everywhere is just drained

hexed notch
#

everything being sold tho is good for vr in the long term tho

#

its sad how many people want it but cant get it, but this is growth

haughty thistle
#

whats it like to use vr without glasses for a glasses user?
Well, considering that in VR you're eyes will focus on something about 1.5 - 2m away from your face (depending on the headset), VR without glasses is like looking at something that far away without glasses

sullen linden
#

i wish there were more full games like hla but thats just how it be

sullen linden
#

Have you played the vr walking dead? Not as good as alyx but still a really good game

sullen linden
#

i saw the vids but wasnt too sure

#

is it really good? i wouldnt consider a tie in game to be of the best quality usually

sullen linden
#

I really enjoyed it since the melee in that game is really well made but the guns sound a bit weak and and the AI of humans isn't super good

#

My top 3 single player vr games are HL-Alyx, The Walking Dead Saints & Sinners and Boneworks

sullen linden
#

yeah bw and hla are in my top 3

#

lone echo is in it also im not sure if walking dead would push it out

#

blade and sorcery is another fun one but id wait for update 8 to put it in the top 4

#

also my computer starts lagging when theres more than a few enemies i think its cpu bottleneck

#

update 8 might improve

@haughty thistle this is a better/cheaper solution for prescription lenses. its one 3d printed part and then some $10 glasses. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1602460 this one is for rift but I'm sure people have done it for other headsets too.

haughty thistle
#

With VR optician, everything is done for you, and they use Zeiss lenses for the glass. So some pretty high quality stuff. Not everyone wants to build their own lens adapters, and cheapo-glasses tend to introduce distortion or are very difficult to clean

flat torrent
#

Anyone know if there's a program or something that makes it so that someone can get your attention while your in VR? People have called my name and banged on stuff but I never knew because I was so immersed

haughty thistle
#

SteamVR has a feature where it shows a button on your desktop and anyone can go over and click the big button on it, to show a notification on your VR display

magic atlas
#

I replaced the code for the hmd with the code for a controller. does anyone have the default config file so i can match it with my headset to fix it

flat torrent
#

@haughty thistle how to enable that?

#

nvm found it "Knock Knock"

haughty thistle
#

Yeah, I wasn't shure how it was called in English. I could've told you the German name for it "Klopf Klopf" xD

sullen linden
#

I currently have an HP WMR set and last night i was playing beat saber perfectly fine no problems, but today when I wanted to play again, my controllers are connected and paired to bluetooth but are dimly lit and wont track in VR anyone have the same problem or know a fix? i tried updating drivers and the only driver i could find was for the bluetooth dongle i use.

haughty thistle
#

Did you already try new batteries?

soft hound
lilac escarp
#

You got one? @soft hound I'm thinking about getting an Oculus Quest

past imp
#

i use oculus link more than the quest

soft quarry
#

@sullen linden it's not CPU bottleneck, it's optimization is part of update 1.0 (the roadmap is u8, u9, u10, 1.0)

fossil sandal
#

Just checked out 200% supersampling on the Vive, its substantially better

#

Now I just need to replace the lenses with Gear VR ones

haughty thistle
#

Rift S is better then Quest Link for PCVR. If you do however want to use the Portability features of the Quest, obviously, no other headset on the market right now can offer what the Quest does...

soft quarry
#

@fossil sandal where is the supersampling in settings?

fossil sandal
#

Go to the video settings in SteamVR

#

And set a manual resolution above 100%

soft quarry
#

ah

#

how much of a gpu toll is that?

fossil sandal
#

I dont know why it works but now its easier to read text

#

My 1060 handles it fine

#

i have a 1060 too

#

If you can play games in 4k you should be good to go

ocean bay
#

Its better if u set it per game do

haughty thistle
#

Yeah, some games are more difficult to run then others. I keep my Index set to 100% on my 1080Ti, but depending on your headset and GPU, you can crank it higher, or might wanna leave it at a lower level

#

Hey so i don't plan to replace my PC but I do think vr games look cool and I'm trying not to spend crazy amounts and I don't know if this even exists but do they make headsets under or $200? Someone told me wmr

#

I already have a rv supported pc

#

(I think)

#

I don't know what kind of connection it is

#

Should I go over to tech support or tech chat?

sullen linden
#

Hey so i don't plan to replace my PC but I do think vr games look cool and I'm trying not to spend crazy amounts and I don't know if this even exists but do they make headsets under or $200? Someone told me wmr
@clear heron i would say WMR, i bought my current WMR set from bestbuy like 2 years ago for $200, if you want to test if your pc is vr ready i think there is a vr test on steam and superposition has a vr test too. The connections for WMR is hdmi and usb 3.0 + a bluetooth dongle if you dont have bluetooth already

clear heron
#

Ok

#

I looked into the used market and found a rift for $200 and a vive for $300 and a ton of other rifts for $300 so if I can't get the $200 rift should I get the rive or rift?

violet charm
#

if you can get a rift s

clear heron
#

if you can get a rift s
@violet charm why?

lilac escarp
#

so like.. anyone use an oculus ques? is it neat?

clear heron
#

also rift or classic vive (im guessing that because it's so cheap)

haughty thistle
#

I do have an Oculus Quest. I mainly use it to play VR on the go and as a Backup, in case my Index breaks again. It's pretty cool yeah, but if you really wanna play VR, PCVR is still a lot better and a proper PCVR headset (like the Rift S) will give you a better experience. Quest Link is a little Janky at times (especially with aftermarket cables) and Compression artifacts are noticeable

lilac escarp
#

IDK like I'm not SUPER into VR yet but i'm building a PC soon as I can so I may just get the Rift

i dont want to get a quest because i can't take advantage of my pc and i assume it runs off battery?

haughty thistle
#

Games that are specifically written for the Quest perform really well and also look the part. Ports can be a mixed bag, especially Multiplayer titles like VRChat. The Quest version of VRchat just sucks
Qith Quest Link, yes it does deplete your battery, but since it's also using the power from the USB port, it's not that much (after 3 hours of Quest Link down to 70% from 100%, whereas directly on the Quest it would've depleted down to 30% in Beat Saber)

lilac escarp
#

I wanna Play Half Life Alyx the only game I really want to play. IDK about VR chat yet 😐

violet charm
#

depends what vive you get

haughty thistle
#

VRchat is free, and trust me: once you find your community, it really sucks you in

violet charm
#

but oculus quest is better than the originsl rift i think

#

i think rift s has a graphically advantage over the quest

haughty thistle
#

^ That

violet charm
#

i know that rift s requires less cables for set up over the original rift

clear heron
#

so on anyother site except offer up the used models of vr are about 400-600 but for some reason on offer up everyone (mostly) is setting for like 200-400

haughty thistle
#

The only benefits you have with a Quest with Link cable over a Rift S are better speakers and a physical IPD slider. Other then that, the Rift S is the superior headset of the two

clear heron
#

is this real?

violet charm
#

tbh because of the coronavirus lockdown thingy going on in the world people have started price gauging vr tech

#

in the uk some companies are trying to sell the rift s in the uk for 699 to 799 pound

#

im lucky as i had got a rift s for christmas

#

so i avoided the price gauging

lilac escarp
#

Yeah I can only find a Quest for $499 here locally, everywhere else (like amazon ) is at least $200 more

haughty thistle
#

The original Rift, techincally speaking, is still better than Quest Link, as the Rift S has actual headphones build into it's headstrap and the CV1 Touch controllers are superior to the cheaped-out one on the Rift S and Quest. But then again, Screen and FOV wise the newer ones are better

violet charm
#

well from what i know oculus have patented new vr controllers and vr gloves

#

so im looking forward to see what they do with that

clear heron
#

is the rift s tracking good? because it's inside out right?

haughty thistle
#

I still have a bad feeling about some things that Oculus is doing, as the Zucc seems to wanting to cost-down VR as much as possible, while building up a Software eco-system alΓ‘ Apple

violet charm
#

this is a example of price gauging with the rift s

#

lucky enough oculus have there own store on amazon

haughty thistle
#

Funny thing: Here in germany all things VR have been sold out pretty much everywhere. You can only get them from Scalpers on Ebay...

violet charm
#

i found a rift s back in october

#

at a john lewis store

#

but they treat there boxed tech awfully everything you see in a box there is normally damaged as all hell

lilac escarp
#

Still more expensive.. Best Buy and Game stop have em for $499

clear heron
#

is the cv1 good?

#

i dont know where it falls from the S and classic

haughty thistle
violet charm
#

the cv1 is a really old rift

clear heron
#

worse than just the rift?

violet charm
#

it came if im correct before oculus go

haughty thistle
#

I'd suggest going for the Rift S if possible

clear heron
#

ah ok

violet charm
#

yh i mean i had a cv1

#

it was the original rift i think

clear heron
#

what about the vive? because someone is selling it for $350

haughty thistle
#

The OG Rift (aka Rift CV1) requires pretty much in all cases a seperate USB controller card

clear heron
#

ohhhhhhhh the CV1 is the classic

violet charm
#

i do believe that oculus need to create a full body tracking set up like vive has

#

there kind of lagging behind in that regard

haughty thistle
#

The OG Vive isn't all that bad of a headset, as it's a cheap entry into the SteamVR tracking eco-system. If you are looking into Fullbody-Tracking I'd say go for it

violet charm
#

im looking forward to haptic suits and stuff like that

#

but there way too expensive atm

haughty thistle
#

The thing with oculus is, They coulΓΆd've don FBT very easy if they had stuck with the camera tracking system. But doing FBT with Inside-out is really hard to do (probably requires cameras on eah of the tracking points?)

clear heron
#

how much are vive controllers and sensors because someone is selling just the headset for $200

#
#

oh what the heck

#

why is it so long

haughty thistle
#

300$ for a pair of base stations and 300$ for a pair of Index controllers (better value than Vive wands)

#

You can find a pair of Vive wands for 200$ if you're lucky, but they are very primitive if you compare them to the Index controllers

clear heron
#

ok

violet charm
#

some controllers which seem interesting to me are

#

these

#

these are the gloves i mentioned

#

well a video about them

haughty thistle
#

I've seen another video about the Etees. They do sound interesting, but I think their biggest downfall is that they don't have any buttons, and thus are pretty much useless for most games

#

And you have to keep in mind that they are supposed to cost not much less then the Index controllers...

violet charm
#

if im correct this is the youtube channel for the companie making them

haughty thistle
#

That's what I mean, It seems like a Janky after-though their button emulation

violet charm
#

personally im looking forward to seeing how companies handle vr gloves

clear heron
#

wait 1 pic is a little sketch but if it's a scam i can just ask for my money back

haughty thistle
#

Well, the page gives me a non-standard Error Code: 1020
(apparently Access denied) So I'm guessing they are IP blocking German users...

violet charm
#

i got it aswell and im from the uk

#

3:27 this companies gloves look pretty good

#

3:27 is the timemark where thrillseeker talks about the gloves

clear heron
#

it was a vive for $150 with everything included

#

should i try and get a vive or rift s

haughty thistle
#

Depends on the Price, and what you want you want to do with it.
Fullbody-Tracking? Vive.
Easy Upgrades? Vive.
Easy Setup? Rift S.
Native oculus Game Support? Rift S.
Physical IPD adjustment? Vive.

clear heron
#

i mean what are the benefits of full body tracking?

violet charm
#

you also got to be careful with vive

#

from what i remember they are releasing tons of new vive headsets

haughty thistle
#

With FBT you can be more expressive in VRchat and can kick enemies in blades and sorcery. Not many games support it yet, but it's pretty amazing when you do play a game that supports it

#

Yeah, pretty much all of the Vive Cosmos headsets suck in terms of tracking. The only one that is at least usable is the Cosmos Elite, but that ships with the interior Vive wands and is almost as pricy as the Index...

clear heron
#

how much is the index

haughty thistle
#

999$US or 1079€

violet charm
#

price wise for a new headset

haughty thistle
#

And it's only available through STeam

violet charm
#

oculus rift s is the best one price wise atm

haughty thistle
#

Yeah, Rift S has the best Price in terms of what you get

clear heron
#

and how much is the avg price of a rift s

violet charm
#

between 349 to 399 in the uk

#

not sure of prices in america and other countries

clear heron
#

oh and also can you adjust the lens to work with your eyes?

#

also all the rifts are sold out

haughty thistle
#

The Rift S has a set physical IPD. I have an IPD of 67 and was able to use the Rift S just fine

violet charm
#

well you can adjust the rift s

#

but its done in software

#

i think quest allows you to do it with a physical slider

clear heron
#

wait the rift s is $600 except Lenovo is selling for $400

hexed notch
#

Posted 7 months ago

#

It's already gone

clear heron
#

True

#

But I don't know where to even find a rift s

#

They are all sold out

sullen linden
#

imagine dual 2080 ti with 64 gb ram in vr

#

with 3950x

clear heron
#

Used like new rift s $350, do I get?

tulip tendon
#

I just got the hp reverb and OH BOY is the resolution AWESOME. Haven't seen full gpu ram being used ever but HL: Alyx on high uses all 11gb.

solar mist
#

What's my best bet to get a rift s at the moment, practically everything is sold out, i got an in stock notification thing but it seems to only be going into "pre-order" every 5-7 days, not sure if that would even get me one without taking a few months.

tulip tendon
#

Used but even then they are hard to find.

#

what country ?

clear heron
#

Guys used but very new rift s for $350 do I buy? Will warranty be an issue?

tulip tendon
#

Possibly, if you go to RMA it you might have to go through the original owner.

tulip tendon
#

Alien: Isolation is only $2 on steam. It was pretty good with the vr mod.

#

very easy to install vr mod also.

clear heron
#

Possibly, if you go to RMA it you might have to go through the original owner.
@tulip tendon the warranty is void of i buy it but im asking if i should take such a risk

clear heron
#

nvm the dude changed his price to $400

#

i might as well get the rift refurbished from rift right?

tulip tendon
#

If you can @clear heron

#

Are you talking CV1?

limber trellis
#

Anybody heard any rumors on anything new? I really want to see an Oculus Quest 2 with a beefier ARM chip.

I was so sad to hear it has a hard time running ALYX. If it wasn't for that it would have been an easy recommendation.

tulip tendon
#

@echo hazel For sure not allowed

clear heron
#

i bought it

#

they restocked the refurbished

tulip tendon
#

cv1?

#

@clear heron

clear heron
#

It's the original rift

hexed notch
#

what

#

like the flat one?

sullen linden
#

Isn't that the dk

hexed notch
#

its the original oculus tho

#

yes its the dk1

gentle coral
#

Anyone else here start exploring Virtual Market 4 in VR chat yet. It is really amazing. I explored 4 of the worlds so far.

tulip tendon
#

thats the dk1 I think he ordered the CV1 if it was refurbished. I personally would of wanted the rift s because of the sensors and whatnot. But it should be pretty good.

clear heron
#

like the flat one?
@hexed notch no idk just the one they are selling refurbished right now

#

Oculus Rift CV1

#

thats the dk1 I think he ordered the CV1 if it was refurbished. I personally would of wanted the rift s because of the sensors and whatnot. But it should be pretty good.
@tulip tendon im too poor for the rift s

tulip tendon
#

understandable, the og rift is pretty good. try and get a 3rd sensor for full room tracking. @clear heron

#

Then you need 4 usb ports lol. The main downfall for CV1. Other than that, the rift has by far the best controllers.

hexed notch
#

naw

#

dont get me wrong the rift controllers are nice

#

but they arent anywhere near the index controllers

tulip tendon
#

I have mixed feelings about the index controllers. Tech is cool, not nearly as comfortable as the touch controllers IMO.

hexed notch
#

you do have to wiggle them a bit more than the touch controllers to get them to fit perfectly

tulip tendon
#

ya they aren't bad but I am just saying as far as comfort I prefer the touch controllers. Also index is $$$. even the controllers. Cost as much as his headset did.

hexed notch
#

im never going back to my cv1

#

im keeping it

#

but im not gonna use it again

tulip tendon
#

I wouldn't go back either after seeing how much better the optics were on rift s. I now have the reverb and the resolution is fantastic. Never used all 11gigs on my gpu before until this vr headset.

I didn't know you use vr on a Mac

i wonder how many vr people use it

like 3?

I feel like there aren't many Macs that are even vr capable

sullen linden
#

well the ones with vega 56s should be alright

#

anyone with a 580 could theoretically do it to

I managed to beat the beat saber level (albeit sloppily) that Linus has been struggling with for ages now. The cross over patterns are pretty sweet when you figure 'em out imo

flat monolith
#

@formal urchin not using enough wirst to get swings on upswings

#

do that and youll instantly get better

#

what controllers you using?

haughty thistle
#

The thing with VR on the Mac is, there is litterally only one VR title on Steam that runs on the Mac. So not really surprising that they would drop support for it...

soft hound
#

That Beat Saber level looks pretty easy to be honest

formal urchin
#

I'm on quest and I use the claw grip. Lately I've been having alot of issues with loosing tracking, so it is what it is (first try I failed thanks to loosing tracking on my left side).

It is pretty easy.. Until the stream starts ~2 minutes in. The hard bits are the crossover pattetns in the middle of the streams

#

Overall, I think the map would get about 6 stars on scoresaver if it were ranked

flat monolith
#

id personally say a 5 star, due to the lack of speed

#

@soft hound what can you do?

Has anyone tried using Vive Wireless with the X570 Aorus series motherboards?

formal urchin
#

Damn that is pretty damn impressive. It is a grear map though.

Do you have any accuracy maps you'd recommend?

glossy sable
#

@misty pine 1060 is considered the lowest for a "good" vr experience. Sure your 960 is good enough...I mean even a mobile sd821 is good enough but is doesn't mean a great experience. It might be a tad nauseating playing at a fluctuating fps. I'd suggest you upgrade your GPU to a more modern one first then see if you'd like to get a VR headset later on.

sullen linden
#

an RX 590 8 gig is a pretty decent budget vr card if your looking to run games without them looking like a potato that went through a furnace

glossy sable
#

okay buddy, just play Minecraft VR, those potatoes look perfect!

grizzled nebula
#

actually the smooth loco in vivecraft makes me a bit dizzy, but in other games like rec room, H3VR i dont have problems

sullen linden
#

I cant do smooth loco in low refreshrate vr for long, i get sick after about an hour @grizzled nebula

grizzled nebula
#

the thing is my framerate is good, always 80+

sullen linden
#

Yeah my frames sit anywhere from 90 to 300 fps depending on the game

#

Its just the low refresh rate isn't convincing enough for my brain so i get sick

#

Main reason why im upgrading to an index

sullen linden
#

I don't know what you have now but index probably has a higher resolution so that is going affect your frames

tulip tendon
#

Ya, steamvr doesn't scale games well for my hp reverb. (2160p per screen) I get mad lag if I don't go through and adjust stuff.

sullen linden
#

Rift s @sullen linden which runs at 80hz

#

Well the added hz should help then

#

Rift s also has higher requirements than the index btw, which i find a little strange lol

pliant kelp
#

Funny, because the index has a much higher refresh rate..

haughty thistle
#

The Index is indeed harder to run for the GPU. However I can imagine that the Inside-Out Tracking of the Rift S could potentially be more demanding on the CPU. I don't know however if the positional Tracking indeed runs on the PC or is calculated on the Headset with an ASIC

silent prawn
#

I'm pretty sure that it's calculated on your pc

silver plaza
#

oculus home is more heavier to run than steam vr so maybe thats it?

quiet saffron
#

hi question. my friend want to get a vr headset for beat saber and a few other games, but he doesnt have a good pc. what headset would work for him? i was thinking th eocculas go, but im not sure if it has the two controllers needdd

sullen linden
#

quest @quiet saffron

quiet saffron
#

many thanks friend

sullen linden
#

np πŸ˜„

#

and once he gets a better rig he can tether it to his pc and play pc games

quiet saffron
#

also other question
when im using my vive, the lenses look, at mest i can describe it, like theres a snow effect. i think it might be a problem with the lenses but im not sure

and yeah, ive been trying to convince him to get a pc in general cuz hes on this chrome book from 2015 i think

sullen linden
#

oh god a chrome book lol

#

also other question
when im using my vive, the lenses look, at mest i can describe it, like theres a snow effect. i think it might be a problem with the lenses but im not sure

too bright?

quiet saffron
#

no, i tried that. im not great with words so hard to explain, but its with both lenses, but they arent the same if that makes sense, like if i rubbed my fingers on the lenses

#

if that makes sence

#

cloudy, its cloudy, thats the word im looking for

sullen linden
#

have you tried wiping them with a microfiber cloth?

quiet saffron
#

i have, yeah

sullen linden
#

hmm i never encountered that on a vive, thats... weird

quiet saffron
#

yeah...

#

im thinking maybe something got on them.. do you happen to know what the lenses are made out of, i want to try using some ipa to clean them

sullen linden
#

pure glass iirc

quiet saffron
#

oh, i thought they were a plastic

sullen linden
#

my rift ones are glass and so are the ones in the index

quiet saffron
#

heck, google says its plastic

quiet saffron

`well parden my french but god damn its more clear than when i bought it

might i ask what kind of cleaner you used?

quiet saffron
#

70% ipa

sullen linden

sweet thanks @quiet saffron

hollow lava
#

so in the general chat, i was told that a 1080 Ti would be enough to do vr on a Original Rift. Im just wanting more than one source. Is 1080 enough for what ill be doing?

#

Just simply playing in VRChat and Beatsaber and games like that

haughty thistle
#

I have a 1080Ti and it's enough for the Index. The Rift CV1 is less heavy on the hardware as well, so expect stellar performance. With VRchat your CPU is generally more important than the GPU

hollow lava
#

Ok. Im gonna have a Ryzen 5 3600. Should that be enough?

haughty thistle
#

Yeah, it should be enough

hollow lava
#

also sick profile photo

#

/image

haughty thistle
quiet saffron
#

Iirc, a 580 would be enough for beat saber and vrchat, it's what I had with my give a while ago and it even ran h3 and a few other games pretty well that were pretty demanding

quiet saffron
#

right, i know

this was the first time ive used any kind of solvent, and the problem i had is gone now

#

so its not the coating

marble oak
#

any1 know if there are color settings, brightness, contrast etc on the Vive pro

#

and if so how do i access them

sand swan
#

If you disable direct display mode in the developer settings in steamvr, you can change it in nvidia control panel. Thats the only way I know to do it.

#

it will switch right back to normal if you go back to direct display mode though, so its not ideal

marble oak
#

oof that sucks

#

nightmode is too dark, and normal is too bright :/

sullen linden
#

Isn't there a brightness slider in steamvr settings?

#

Or it might have been in the steamvr advanced settings I have installed

tulip tendon
#

I am assuming if I lower the textures of HL:Alyx that should help with video ram usage? I get a warning every time I launch that it is low. I have it on medium.

#

It runs fine but I can tell some areas it struggles and dips lower than 90fps.

trim kiln

What's the best way to clean my facepadding for my oculus quest, was actually thinking about throwing it in the washing machine. Of course after i put it out of the quest xD

haughty thistle
#

About the Brightness slider in SteamVR: there is indeed a brightness slider. However I don't remember if it's there on the Vive. I have an Index and I can adjust the brightness of the backlight (doesn't work on SteamVR foreign headsets like Oculus and WMR headsets)

sand swan
#

I use vive pro, and I dont see a brightness slider anywhere

maybe its headset specific? idk why that would be

no worries

fresh berry
#

@flat monolith any easier expert songs u'd recommend? :-)

flat monolith
#

Expert? With rank or without?

fresh berry
#

with rank

#

i didnt know those leaderboards existed, i have a mod that shows like highscores but the ranking is cool

flat monolith
#

Want it more rewarding for PP or more for accuracy?

#

So like either higher numbers so rank goes up or higher numbers so you can improve at hitting higher scores on notes

#

Yeah it's all to do with scoresaber, they have a public server which shows all maps new and qualified

fresh berry
#

pp yes

#

i want more pp

#

lmao

flat monolith
#

Doesn't everyone KEKW

#

How many hours have you got?

#

That'll give me a rough estimate

fresh berry
#

50 but like im not bad at the game at all

Let me have a look

#

If you want one of the hardest experts there's this

#

Setien made by Fraies and Souk

fresh berry
#

oof

flat monolith
#

Illness lilin

#

These are between 7-9 stars btw

#

If that helps

#

Should be able to get their beat saver link and download them

#

Try those 3, LMK how you get on

#

For reference I got a 93 on setien today, 90 on illness lilin and 91 on tierra

fresh berry
#

how do i use the id i normal just search songs up and do 1 clickj install;

flat monolith
#

Oh the webpage on the right one of the links will open beat saver

#

The one that's a block

#

Click on that and it'll open that website

fresh berry
#

does it give u more pp the more u play then?

flat monolith
#

The more ranked maps you play yes and the higher scores you get

#

Over time they will get weighted

#

Hence as someone in T130 (me) it takes me a long time to earn more then 10pp where as you it can take about 10 mins

fresh berry
#

i see cool thx

flat monolith
#

No worries, tell me how you get on!

flat monolith
#

@fresh berry how'd it go?

fresh berry
#

havnt tried them yet just woke up to start mapping some songs

You probably have good controllers, I have two of mine plugged into a pcie usb card, and my third plugged into a usb port on my mother board where the controller only shares two ports. Type A and Type C, I don't have a use for type C rn, so...

I bought a almost new vive for 300$. I could just buy controllers and be good right? Or are there any benefits to upgrading the towers (and obviously there are many advantages to upgrading to the index headset, but I know those)

hexed notch
#

check compatibility with stuff

#

oh apparently index and controllers support both so you are fine

mild sky
#

do i lose any features? I don't really see the difference between the 2 different base stations

hexed notch
#

no feature difference

#

the new ones can cover a larger area

#

and you can have more than 2

mild sky
#

you can't have more than 2 with the old ones? that is interesting

#

also iirc they need to be set up with line of sight between them

where the new lighthouses only have to both see the headset

ooh, thanks

and i think your PSVR will be usable on the ps5 too?

#

so it could be a good thing to hold onto

sullen linden
#

if i can then afford the ps5

mild sky
#

true

#

but also it could get more valuable to sell and get a vive πŸ˜›

sullen linden
#

but how long will the vive be relevant

#

or popular

mild sky
#

forever? It's just a worse index

#

the straps are the main thing

#

the visuals are fine

What is the best way to record VR gameplay in your opinion? If you follow any VR youtubers, or do videos yourself, what setup is in your opinion the best experience for viewers?

spring mantle
#

my left touch controller (2nd gen) (rift s and quest version) has lost vibration, anyone know why? or a fix?

zinc timber
#

Recording the dominant eye is better imo, so if you aim down sights or something it doesn't look weird

Also that third person camera is cool, but a lot more work

grizzled void
#

@zinc timber So if I was aiming down with my left eye (which I do, since my right eye is a bit rubbish), i would use the left view, that makes sense! Regarding the third person camera, could you possible share an example, if it's not too much of a hassle? I'd like to see a good example of how that can be achieved

#

3rd Person cameras looks cool, but means that the viewer has less visibility in beatsaber. There I'd prefer FPV, but perhaps with smooth camera on and a high FOV

You don't need a greenscreen. You can also place an avatar instead there

Evyone here know where i can get a Oculus rift Cable?

warm jewel
#

You can now just use the charging cable, but it is still in the beta so you might have issues.

unreal trail
#

so I need a hint of what I should get? I want to get top of the line VR but I also want the best bang for your buck. I don't necessarily have a budget at the moment cause I just want to know average pricing. I want something that brings my immersion heavily and should keep it without having to upgrade every other year or so?

Anyone have tips? I want of course half-life Alyx, some war sim thing, will be playing vrchat and some 3d sculpting in blender through VR

#

I also have a ryzen 5 2600 and rtx 2070 super for the specs if you needed to know

tulip tendon
#

Right now Index is probably the best as far as top of the line. Best bang for the buck is the rift s.

#

If you can find an rift s they are $400

#

index is 1k

unreal trail
#

Does index come with the fancy controllers and everything needed?

#

Like the trackers and the very fancy finger controllers? I forgot what their called

tulip tendon
#

if you buy that kit yes.

#

they sell everything individually and as kits.

#

but they are on backorder also

#

8 weeks

unreal trail
#

Dang! 8 weeks?? I mean ha ha, gives me time to make some money to buy games for the thing? πŸ˜…

#

Do you know how the tracking is with only 2 base stations? Like is it easy to turn around 360Β° and still have really good tracking?

tulip tendon
#

Should be fine as long as nothing is blocking them.

unreal trail
#

Is there a good way to put them high up on my walls in a apartment? Or can I only drill them in? :(

tulip tendon
#

it only requires a power outlet

#

i mean you can get tripods

#

or double side tape

#

or drill

#

whatever ya want

unreal trail
#

Okay, Yea my apartment is very very stingy about holes in the walls πŸ˜…

haughty thistle
#

As far as I can tell, adding more base stations with SteamVR tracking only really does something if you have a very large playspace (more then 5m across) or want to use Fullbody tracking with Vive Trackers (since they get occluded from the base stations much more easier then hand controllers or the headset)

where did you find out about that!!!!! : )

so is like every vr headset just sold out as well?

haughty thistle
#

Not every headset. The Vive Cosmos is still available, although I would not recommend getting one. It's tracking is just atrocious...

sullen linden

havent even heard of the vive cosmos

north delta
#

An idea came to my mind.

#

I think i saw at one point someone using openvr and adjusting some stuff

#

And like by a mistake they made the head being tracked positionally not with the headset but with one of the vive trackers

#

however, rotation was still from the headset.

#

This gave me an idea that could make all 3dof headsets such as the still very good Pimax 4k (which lacks tracking tho) usable

#

Basically strapping a vive tracker on the hmd itself and then tweaking stuff in openvr advanced settings. I think this way we could turn pretty much any 3dof headset into a vive.

Call me crazy but i've been thinking of creating my own 6-DoF headset

if youre willing to pay 500 just get a rift s

but they are sold out everywhere

dont ruin your vr experience

i say this as a rift s and quest owner

be patient

dont ruin how your perception of how vr will be like with wmr

Whats wrong with wmr though?

soft hound
#

Ah, I see. Makes sense if you don't use it that much

sullen linden
#

Is all of vr moving to inside out tracking

zinc timber
#

Index isn't
Inside out is probably cheaper

sand swan
#

Techincally index is inside out, they are lighthouses not sensors

hexed notch
#

they contain required active components

#

and they are on the outside

#

therefore are outside in

cold hamlet
#

wow this is so real!

haughty thistle
#

I personally think, as long as Inside-Out is not as good as the SteamVR tracking System (Index, OG Vive, etc.), I don't see that it will be fully replaced by Inside-Out. I've tried many headsets in the past, both Inside-Out and Outside-In, and I can safely say that while Inside-Out is good enough for the general consumer, it's not on a level of quality a true enthusiast would like to see completely taking over the market

Hi

Anybody has Oculus Rift S and Plays XPlane?

sullen linden

Should i switch from a rift S to a og vive? It's been giving me a shit ton of problems ever since I've got it.

soft hound
#

I mean, I've had zero complaints with my Vive in terms of any issues. Though you'll be stepping down in resolution, but get better colours and tracking, so it really depends on how bad the issues you're having are, and if you can get a Vive for cheap (also the controllers are pretty mediocre on the Vive)

zinc timber
#

Vive is compatible with index stuff, so that's also nice

You don't have two hdmi ports on your gpu?

If that's the case you could connect your monitor with something else
