Yeah it's true no matter how bad you feel if you start a workout feeling s**** most of the time it turns out to be a good one.

Yeah genuinely gutted about the Vive I thought it was excellent and really enjoyed playing it would recommend it to any-one. I said it was the future of gaming which I still think it will be, but at the same time I hope it won't. Not sure if future VR releases will be better for me but I doubt it.
I set SS to 1.5 and had 90fps all the time so it wasn't really lack of fps. Warping around in Budget Cuts or anything else was really bad causing really cold clammy sweats, I felt like a 5 year old that had played to much "dizzy dinosaur" when I came off the Vive, but it lasted the rest of the day.

And you are 100% sure reprojection wasn't kicking in yes?

Ah that sucks especially if it's happening in titles with no locomotion. Probably not much you can do

I have avoided titles with locomotion (though I played Doom 2016 for about 20 minutes and it felt very unusual!) and have yet to feel any nausea. Maybe you are just very prone to it - assuming everything is running correctly of course.

Anyone got alien isolation to run on the vive yet?

Also, what am I missing out on, I see the post above has Doom2016 running!

How? The only games I have tried are on my VR tab in steam.

Seems you are able to use ATW (Asynchronous Time Warp (frame rate smoothing)), as used by the Rift, with a Vive by using OSVR runtimes :eek:

Sent my base station in for repair 2 weeks ago and not heard a peep since, pretty terrible service. They should be sending out replacements straight away, why should i have to wait when i didn't damage it?

Apparently it should only be used for seated games, not roomscale, where the steam VR version is best suited.

maybe contact their live chat service with your ticket number of your request replacement which they will be able to tell you right away what is the progress now.

their tracking system only work for HTC Phone.

Tried it but not sure if it's working or not, can't find any real instructions, setup a few things and performance and visuals look the same.

Finally got my 1080 in and was able to play more games without gpu related nausea!

have to say out of the 15 or so I sampled, Rec Room was absolutely fantastic!

Red Arrow · 27 Jul 2016 at 15:15

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered myself a Vive, arriving tomorrow.

Any advice, things I should be looking out for on my first go with it?

Ha, well I generally fall in the direction of the ground. Should I be learning to fall another way?

Are there any free flight sim games with VR support I can try out?

DCS world have VR support, it's not great but you can get the free version. FSX has it as well using flyinside, there's a trial version for that

War thunder works just needs a bit of tinkering to get vr working.

Enable supersampling if your gpu can handle it.
