No chance the missus will have that on our bedroom ceiling the mirror will get in the way.

Got a lot more space than me, I really need to move my VR into a different room

I just had a go on Robo recall round my mates. It was by far the best fun I have had in VR yet.

I need to get my self kitted up very soon.

Played a few rounds of the new Quest in Rec Room with Devrij this evening.

It's really difficult

Yes, yes it was. Especially when melmac jumps in front of your perfectly safe wizard sticks. I reckon we were nearly at the end on that last round

I'll be dropping in and out of the community goal at Kaal this weekend, so if anyone wants to join me for some RES bounty hunting, add me as Fluke ingame (and let me know here - I've had a couple of requests ingame from people I don't recognise, so no idea if they're from here or not).

BTW, if anyone has beta access, I highly recommend installing the 2.4 beta and checking out the community goal on there. You have to recover materials from a thargoid crash site, and the scale of the thing in VR is absolutely amazing. Honestly, it looks like something from an Alien movie. I've already done it, but might go back for another look, so can team up if anyone wants to do that.

I don't have beta access, but that sounds rad

Recently got the RIFT and i have been playing assetto corsa and it has really helped bring my lap times down

The immersion it gives is great and it really puts you in the driving seat.

Just a quick note on the VR cover situation: I just noticed that there's a 'Next shipping date' notice on the product page.
The current one is 19th August.
Not sure what the date was or if it was there when I ordered, but if you plan on getting one, perhaps best to do it now if you want it ASAP.

Have yours shipped yet? Mine still say processing ordered on the 9th.

did you order from vrcover themselves? If so their website is crap at giving updates, mine arrived and still said 'processing'

Yeah direct. Cool hopefully should be here this week then.

Uncle Petey · 21 Aug 2017 at 09:40

Yup, no update. I expect it to show up in the next week or so.

Doggie2k · 21 Aug 2017 at 23:43

Loaded up that Luckys tale and wow I was blown away, it really is well thought out for 3D. Some of the movement though was a bit jarring but on the whole I enjoyed it

Just installed elite dangerous on oculus home and compared to the steam version it runs a hell of a lot better, had it running on high with 2.0 hmd and 1.0ss no aa and it's smooth as butter even in stations and Res.

That's interesting. I'm assuming your settings are the same for both versions?

Yep same. It used the pre existing config file from the steam install even kept my hotas bindings which was nice.
I also set project cars to launch outside of steam with same settings and ss @2 no aa iam getting 90 fps with no dips.

what is this witchcraft?

Waiting for a rift to arrive so I expect to be badgering for help along the way. I have got it mainly for elite dangerous but I fear my gtx980 may need to be traded In soon. Never tried any vr whatsoever so I'm quite excited!

mine turned up yesterday... have only tried google cardboard before, which doesn't really compare at all, so didn't really know what to expect, but it's v v cool, and weird, and messes with your mind (especially if you hit against things in real world that don't exist in vr world, and vice versa).

Had some issues with buzzing sound through the headset until i changed usb port and now seems all ok.

Didn't get much time to play with it, so only did the Oculus touch demo (First contact?) and promptly downloaded a load of other things to try later. And then felt quite bleugh for a while...

Being a glasses wearer, i was expecting some "fun" and it's quite a pain in the backside, so I've ordered some lenses to see how they help and will try contact lenses until the lenses arrive (i think the glasses being pushed into my eyeballs was part of feeling nauseous). I fear this is getting more and more expensive as I'll soon be wanting a 3rd sensor...
