The guardian circle and wall is always visible, how do you get rid in games?

Shouldnt be visible if you are not touching it?

Yeah sorted it, had it set too small.

I too use Skybox to watch ‘3D Movies’.

 

[doodah]

Are you not worried some dork at Facebook HQ might be watching you through the headset cameras, whilst watching 3D movies?

After fitting the new head strap I have noticed the blur I used to get in my right eye has gone. I thought it was IPD but it seems this allows the device to fit better. Perhaps this will help with the eye strain.

oo that's interesting, better fit that's for sure

Makes me want to watch 3D movies more.

Same here. Far far faaaaaar easier to have the headset exactly where I need it to be.

I’ve been sim-racing all week with my Aliexpress strap and genuinely forgotten that I’m wearing a headset every single time I’ve been racing. No re-adjusting needed once I’ve settled in.

Don't know about the quest 2 but there is a way to turn it off on the original quest.
You need the headset to be in developer mode and then there is an option to disable the guardian boundary.
I do this if I'm by the desk playing Pcars 2 or Elite. Seems to disable camera passthrough though so I have to peep under the headset to see which of my cats is dangling off the controller.

You need to get a developer account to enable the mode, you might have allready done this if sideloading. Instructions are on the web.

the cameras are external so unless they want to see my room and occasionally my dog pawing me for attention then what use would that be?

 

[chorse]

Weird you have to buy an app to watch movies. Is there no native option to transfer any video file over to the drive and watch?

Big screen has the option to play local files and also ones hosted on something like plex

Big screen doesn't work as good as some others for playing files via DLNA. It says it supports PLEX now, but I can't get it working well.

I use a free one, I can't remember which.

 

[NF7-S]

I've got the same. Personally I'm trying to decide whether to get either

Walking dead : saints and sinners
In death: unchained

Or possibly one of the multiplayer shooters like Onward or the recently released contractors?

If you don't have them I can reccomend beatsaber, in death, eleven table tennis, the climb and thrill of the fight for quest . The last 3 of those are cross buy.

In Death: Unchained is my favourite Quest game right now. My Quest (apart from watching movies and TV shows on a giant cinema screen) might as well be a dedicated In-Death console.

Cheers, already have Saints and Sinners and Beat Saber on PSVR - In Death seems a common theme here...will check out reviews

Which head strap?

 

[something daft already!!]

Which head strap?

Elite Strap by Oculus.

 

[bicpug]

Are the oculus elite straps still cracking or have they fixed the issue?

 

[Unseul]

Anyone know of a list of games that use cloud save? I fancy trying a factory reset on my headset to try and clean up a few things that may be due to the updates. But it's not so bad that I want to lose a load of save progress (not that I have that much).

 

[wedrum]
