*** Oculus Quest 2 Owners Thread ***

yeah , i thought so to
not been used hardly too (i think)

they seem to be going for £300 on ebay, are all the shops out of stock ? lol
 
I gave mine back because of severe VR sickness. Wonder if the 90hz and Sharper image will resolve the issue.

I'll prob try it again once I've upgraded my system to allow games to run around 90 fps. (Currently have a 1070ti).
 
No update for me either. Just being patient.

My old man is absolutely loving it :D. Going to get him into rec room and see how he handles that, the advantage being that for at least some of it I can be with him. He's also showed it off to a few of the other folks with him, one said he's buying it for his grandson for christmas, but he plans on getting it early so he can play with it first :D.

Just managed to do some rec room stuff (space invaders) sat down which is encouraging. Using smooth turning, took a little while to get used to, but worked OK.

My old man is 90 and my mother is 84, I can't imagine either of them trying VR. Fair play to your Dad.

I haven't been in Rec Room in ages. They have space invaders now?
 
Mine updated to version 23 yesterday. Was a bit of a faff had to opt in and out of beta quite a few times before the option to update was there. Going to give the new link settings a good work out tonight on ac, ams2 and elite dangerous.

He's a chelsea pensioner, so even at 80 he's probably only middle aged for there :D.

Space invaders seemed a bit under development, the 2nd time we played, the rifles we should have had for the second wave never appeared properly, so we were stuck with pistols, but it seemed OK. You have a home base, then enemies spawn from above, fall slowly to ground and try and shoot you. Bigger waves, tougher enemies etc. Not groundbreaking, but fun enough :).

Do you update in the quest standalone or in the quest link app that you get when you have a cable connected?

I got an update in the occulus link app which I installed but the headset doesn't have an update so I don't think it's working yet.

It said there was an update on the hmd then it told me to plug into my pc, it then downloaded the update and installed.

Hmm, I see my software on my desktop is version 23, but my headset is still showing 21. Wonder if I should plug it in.

Try plugging it in then in the quest goto experimental and tick the opt into beta slider. Then in about headset bit where the version number is it should flash searching for update. Took a few goes but eventually found the update.
 
Fellas I’m thinking of getting one of these with the link cable. Will a Titan x pascal be able to run decent frames with link cable? It’s does about 11,000 gpu score in timespy, so 2080 territory.

How is half life Alex at full res?
 
Just had a few hours messing about with the link cable and settings in version 23. To get the best image quality i set the refesh rate to 90hz and hmd res to 1.0 I loaded up assetto corsa set in-game super sampling to 1.0 4xAA and oh, its sharper than before the update but its still not as sharp as i was expecting? Puzzled i adjusted the super sampling in oculus debug tool tried 1.2 hmm better, 1.4 hmm better still, 1.5 omg:eek: 1.5 is the magic number it looks so good. With 10 cars on track i was getting asw kicking in giving me 45fps but it looked gorgeous. Without asw i was getting 60ish.
Elite dangerous at 1.5 ss looked stunning and ran pretty well all the tiny writing around the cockpit was easily readable and no sde. I did notice colours were not as vibrant as the rift s though.
Next was Half life alex @1.5 ss, again looked stunning so clear, standing on the balcony looking over city 17 was :D. Performance way just about ok on high fidelity mode.
Now the bad news, my 1080ti isnt powerful enough to run this hmd at 1.5 ss and 90hz it kicks into asw quite a lot which tbh i was expecting. I think a 3080 is on the cards when they come back in stock.
Overall i was very impressed with the Q2 and link only downside is having to up the super sampling to get it to look its best.:(

I thought the Quest 2 display was streamed from the USB cable though? Surely all those extra pixels are going to waste if they’re still compressed into the same bit rate then decompressed at the headset end... or have I got the wrong end of the stick somewhere?
