What is the Quest 2 like for people with high IPD(mine is 68.5) i've read that on setting 3 the edges of the screen are visible but how bad is it?

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Also 68.5 IPD and on setting 3.
Yes you can see the edges but they are more like a straight dark shadow than what you might be imagining.
They were instantly noticeable and very very annoying, but the effect lessened quickly.
Very rarely notice them at all now.

I've read putting in the glasses spaced pretty much eliminates it at the cost of a little FOV, would be interested in your opinion on that.

You got the Elite Strap? You might need a counter weight. Try zip tying something that weighs about as much as mobile phone to the back of the strap just to test if that makes it more comfortable.

Have you bought an covers for it? Like anything from VR Covers to replace the facial interface?

Yeah I have the elite strap. I'll give that counterweight idea a go, that makes sense!
 
Wahey, it arrived on Saturday morning :D

Although I was far too busy over the weekend and it was too hot to actually do anything with it :(

First of all performance. No, sorry, you won't be getting max resolution at 120hz with a 6800. You will still be able to get a great experience and in some easier to run games you will be able to hit 120hz no problems.

Thanks - yeah I watched another video which explained how it has to actually render higher than the quoted resolution and do some manipulation of the image to display it, so I guess I'll be knocking some settings down!

The TP-Link C6 is fine as long as it's connected back to the computer by network cable. Also, it ideally needs to be in the same room that you will be using the Quest 2 in. And, lastly(for now), you should try to keep the 5ghz network free for Quest 2 use only.

Yup, PC is connected via gigabit to the router, and it's in the living room which is where we'd be using the Quest, so not an issue there. Might have to shift some devices over to the 2.4ghz channel though.

Any game that you have on your PC that you can play in VR you can play on the Quest 2 as long as you connect your Quest 2 to the PC(either wirelessly or wired) But there are games that are crossbuy, these are games that you can buy on the Quest 2 store or from the Oculus store on the PC and you own in both. There are other games, like Beat Saber, for example. If you buy it on the Quest 2 store you don't own it on the Oculus PC store. Here is a list of crossbuy games

Oculus Cross-Buy Apps | Oculus

Some of my Favourite games are

Beat Saber,
Pistol Whip,
Walk About mini Golf,
Eleven: Table Tennis,
Asgard's Wrath,
Thrill of the Fight
Skyrim VR,
Fallout 4,
Doom 3 on Sidequest.
Alien Isolation (Mother mod vR)

Thanks, the only one of those I've played is Fallout 4, which gave me major motion sickness - not sure if was the engine or something since I was able to play other FPS games with no issues.

Alien Isolation sounds... terrifying, I might have to give that a miss! :cry:

With the glasses spacer in the edge of the screen is just visible in my peripheral vision. To the extent that pushing gently on one side of the headset makes the effect disappear on one side of the screen. The loss of FOV isn't an issue for me, the quest 2 doesn't have great FOV to start with so a little bit more or less doesn't make a huge real world difference. I keep the spacer in as it keeps my eyelashes from touching the prescription inserts. Still using the standard face pad.

I went quest to quest 2 and I've found that the increase in resolution and the fact that there's very little SDE is worth the trade off with the screen edge thing, which I no longer notice unless I look for it and the crap strap.

I actually threw up after playing Dirt rally 2, due to motion sickness. I ate some food before, don't know if this is usual. I'm now bricking it to go into the game. I feel it's because I ate beforehand.

Dirt Rally 2 is one of the most intense VR games out there, it's not surprising that you had such a bad reaction.

With VR you need to acclimatise yourself gradually. Start with games where you physically move or stand in one place without any artificial locomotion. Then try some of the more intense games. Oculus actually rates games on their intensity, so check the ratings.

If you feel ill then stop immediately, take a break and come back later when you feel better. If you don't then you'll train your brain to associate being sick with VR, and you'll feel sick even if you think about it. That's very hard to get over.

Think I might muster the courage to try Dirt Rally 2 again next week. It's weird how it suddenly turned my stomach.

VR does just suddenly make you throw up though. So either you started feeling sick and carried playing until the inevitable hurl, like Ravenger said above. Or something else made you sick, but, you just happened to be playing Dirt Rally in VR when you got threw up.

That's not strictly true with racing games like Dirt Rally or Project Cars. I've had sessions where I've been thundering along absolutely fine whilst looking forwards but then make the mistake of looking over my shoulder or behind me and my brains just can't compute that and goes "nope, you've been poisoned". Or spinning.

And, do you continue playing when you get nauseous or do you stop?

Stop immediately :)

:) And that's my point. You didn't keep playing until it made you throw up. With VR motion sickness there is always a warning!! (looking back on my post, I can see how it was confusing, I was using the word "sick" for everything. I have edited it for clarity!!)

Just ordered a Quest 2, should be here tomorrow, what head strap do people recommend looking for something that is pretty close to the Rift S halo.

Are you getting a new Facial Interface? Getting one is highly recommended. The thing is, you can mod the stock strap with the old stock facial interface to make a pretty comfortable headstrap. I believe @Unseul is using this method for his Quest 2.
