Oh sorry, I was having issues with a choppy beat saber because I was playing with Bluetooth headphones.
no problem mate, any advice could help me out... opened a ticket with support but I dunno why my guts tell me to not hold much hope they'll be able to fix it...
I seem to have quite a bit of hardware issues with the Quest, my solutions are usually leaving it charging for a few hours or multiple hard restarts (holding power down until it shuts off)
I doubt support will get you anywhere. The biggest compaint you can make against the Quest is just how often they break things with all the firmware updates (and how, at best, you need to wait 2 or 3 months for things to get fixed). It's been my experience they do usually get fixed, but man, do I dread firmware updates when everything is running smoothly.
It feels like they're always pushing their algorithms to their extreme in some push for something. Better battery life? I just wish they tested better. Because they often push too far and we end up with things that are unnecessarily broken.
I really can't help you with the issue because: 1.) I don't play Beat Saber on those difficulty levels. 2.) I got into the habit, last fall, of always disabling the Guardian upon bootup. I think my crashes were eventually fixed, but unless I'm playing something where it's needed, I just disable it anyways.
Out of curiousity: is there any direction in your play area that doesn't have a light source? Does it make any difference if you're only facing that direction? This was my issue last summer. They changed the aggressiveness of their algorithms and my play space suddenly didn't like certain light sources (that it had no trouble with at launch). If this is your issue, you might consider buying an IR camera lamp. I purchased one of those and aim it at the ceiling and let the light reflect back into the play space. This lets you play in pitch dark and solves issues that are "bright spot" related. I honestly don't use it very often, but at the very least, it's kind of cool if you want to play in the dark.
Yeah, I also usually fix most if not all (before this one, lol) problems with a hard restart.
Never tried doing multiple in succession tho, I will do that, thanks
Firstly, I'll deffo test if anything changes depending on where I'm facing in the play space, I can't believe I didn't think about this because even if it's true that the light sources are only artificial, there are indeed *really* white walls only in certain areas of the play space.
Secondly:
ok this seems incredible, please help me out with this? 😄 Could you kindly guide me with purchases/tutorial of everything I'll need? Seriously.
Also, would it be possible then to play outside with this (providing it's night time of course) or the even stars/bright moon will fuck things up? And lastly how would you set it up? Regardless, I still want to get it even if it's only to play inside the house.
Thanks a bunch for the reply
Quite a few people on Reddit have set these things up for outside. I'm not sure if you'd need a larger unit or not, but there's definitely a lot of people who've done it successfully. I don't think stars or anything would be an issue. I was talking more about windows/lights that show up as blinding whitespots on passthrough.
This is the one I purchased. There are larger ones, but for the indoor space I use it with, it's plenty big. I just placed it on top of a book shelf (about a foot below the ceiling) and angled it towards the ceiling and let the light bounce back down into my place space. If you make your adjustments when the camera is in pass-through mode, you can tell how well the light is being distributed and find what works best.
Do we know yet if the actual game is going to be free?
If it's not, I wonder if I'll still be eligible to get it free with cross buy. Back when Intel had that promotion to receive a free copy of Echo Arena, I had it added to my Oculus account. But it's the only Echo that I "own".
Big hype for Tuesday, been wanting this for a long while now. Should be a standout title on a wireless Quest:
QuestzDoom by Dr Beef (same dev that did Lambda1VR). No date yet but release on Side quest when finished:

i got my oculus earlier in the week and i like it enough to keep it but it's kind of insane how uncomfortable it is without modification
Anyone who has done the Frakenquest with the DAS and 3D printed connectors, should the DAS snap cleanly into the 3D pieces? Mine don't seem to.
USB is so fucking strange. i have the anker cable and bought this angle adapter and it would NOT work - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JK1G6W2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I needed to make the cable longer at the very least to get to the other side of the room, so I got this cable and works awesome (without even using the extra power port) and now the angle adapter works??? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C2KWVG1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So
PC -> anker cable -> angle adapter -> quest = borked
PC -> extension cable -> anker cable -> angle adapter -> quest = works fine??

i haven't done anything yet but I would like to do the frakenquest if I can find a strap. at this point i've messed with the default strap enough where it's "fine enough"
quest store or rift? this would be so awesome on the quest.
I don't see it for the regular Oculus store. Wonder if this means PC version is still Epic store exclusive.
I think this is best served on the Quest side anyways.
What I really hope for, is since Quest is a VR exclusive platform, is they redid the game for forward rendering and MSAA. I get why the PC version was deferred rendering. The majority of their audience were non VR gamers and HDR was a major selling point. But if you don't need to support HDR, forward rendering would provide a significant image quality improvement. The games got that patented dirty screen quality because of the deferred rendering.

I started a thread in the main forum. Figured it was too good of news to keep buried in OT:)

Finally!!!!
Now get Rez, Polybius and Tempest 4000 on Quest as well!, please!!
I like your thinking. Are you running for President of Video Games? Cause you might have my vote.
Quest is coming tomorrow.
Have PSVR but had really bad luck with the tracking and the amount of time it took to get set up, so I'm really looking forward to going the other direction and going full wireless. Also have a beefy PC so will be using VD for Alyx and Boneworks and all the other VR games I've missed over the years.
Will also be playing Skyrim VR with the Wabbajock Mod list: https://www.wabbajack.org/modlist/ultimate_vr_essentials
Not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight.

I got AMD Relive to work during launch. Everything seemed smooth. Didn't have time to try a game though. But I'm glad I didn't buy VD and just tried that instead.
So... what are the Rift/Steam VR games I should get first?
I got $7 on the occulus store so I was thinking of starting there.

WoW. It's stunning. Not just graphically. But the lobby and how you interact with people. The gameplay. It's absolutely brilliant.
And once again the lobby. Just finished tutorial. One guy came over greeting me. I don't speak now GF is sleeping and he tried to explain to me that I can speak the mic is on 😅. I just mimic a « shhh » in front of my mouth and he got it.

I've always been a sucker for top down racers. Looks pretty cool.
My Quest comes in tomorrow and I'll be downloading with the quickness.
my right touch controller keeps disappearing in the middle of beat saber songs and it's so fucking obnoxious
I had this too a few months ago (I think January and I bought my Quest in December) and nothing worked. No restart, reinstalling, changing settings.
You know what solved the problem? Good batteries lol. Bought some eneloops and never had a problem again. Had the same problem with other batteries so I guess the Quest controllers need some power. I also looked online for help and many people solved it like that too. If you then still have the problem I would contact Oculus support.
yeah i kind of think it's the battery contact as it happens in really hectic parts of the song. i'm going to try my eneloops tomorrow.
Finished Superhot last night. Absolutely loved it. Such a cool experience and a very good game to boot. Not many games make you feel like Keanu Reeves. For me it's the killer app that I will show friends. Makes you feel so good. Hopefully there will be a sequel.
I picked up Shadow Point and it's the first game to make me feel queasy. All the other demos and games I've tried have been fine. Though I noticed I did start to notice the first signs of motion sickness playing Superhot the other night which I hadn't had before. Might complete it in more small chunks or try something differen.

Relive has been pretty much perfect so far for me. Except for lone echo. That game with relive is so dark. Amd had a fix for it last year but I don't understand how to make it work in Adrenalin 2020.
What are you doing with it that's so impressive? I used it to access Half-Life Alyx and I'm wondering what else I'm missing!
I've been playing Blade and Sorcery with it and I'm amazed at the lack of latency. I haven't compared it to the Link yet and don't feel the need to!
B&S is probably the most fun I've played in VR but I am saving Alyx til I'm better at VR.
If you've got a good setup, it's pretty much PC VR with better image quality than Oculus Link and wireless.
Ooh gotcha! I thought there was more to the app that I wasn't aware of. I totally agree though! I was shocked at the lack of latency; Alyx felt like it was running off the Quest itself. It's at the point I was seriously wondering if it was somehow doing some local rendering with the environment considering there was literally zero perceptible lag when looking around (it also made me wonder why I hadn't seen more recommendations this way since it seems superior to the link cable experience?)
I want to try Virtual Desktop but I can't decide between a pci-express wifi card in my PC acting as an access point or a dedicated router. If router I can't decide which is the bare min specs and price range.
I have my Quest coming on Wednesday (so excited!!!) and hoping this works well as I don't plan on having a gaming pc again until next year and there is a lot I either own or would want to get in that space. So I ordered a Shadow blast subscription. It says I'll have it in May (you don't get it right away) and will report back results for sure!
