If you're intending on getting getting a bit moist in the headset, then I'd highly recommend a facial interface with an extract fan fitted to it as sweat can very easily kill the electronics in a matter of weeks. Make sure the fan is set to extract and not blow as in the image.

Interesting. Do you or anyone use such a a thing? I'm never likely to go beyond an hours session due to my blinkers but I do recall the vive got very toasty at times.

there are a few people that dont use facial interfaces, and some games do last more than 1hr.
our monday night meet up is usually 1.5hrs to 2.5hrs depending on people.
i thin the racing team is around 1=1.5hrs on thursday night
i was thinking of getting one for Les Mills Body combat as that can get quiet hot and sweaty

A few sweaty heads have gone through multiple headsets due to exercise.

Quest 3: Problems with sweat

Your headset is also advertised for workouts, but unfortunately that's not possible because sweat always occurs during workouts and apparently the devices aren't sufficiently protected against it, despite completely drying them off with microfiber cloths after use and your silicone cover etc...

Had a go at Thrill of the fight 2. Quite buggy atm. I lost my arms in one game and had to stand there whilst someone pummelled me.

It doesn't feel like it tracks upcuts. There are random tracking issues like this. It did make me sweat though!

I'd be interested in some level of basic boxing training or exercise routine.

LostCorpse · Monday at 12:48

@Buddy check out Les Mills Body Combat, it can do a good job of making you squatting, punching ect so worth a look if you enjoy TotF/TotF2

I second that. Les Mills is definitely a good workout

It's my go-to fitness app that I use when the weather is too bad to go out running. It does get you very sweaty though (which shows it's working!), so wear a bandana, sweat band, or tube scarf on your head to protect the headset from sweat.

Infidelus · Monday at 16:08

Yep, I always have a beanie on when I'm in VR, not just for the sweat but so I don't get an inverted mohican when wearing the headset

Doh. Halifax decided to decline my payment even though I had authorised it within the app! Attempting a retry so hopefully the thing is delivered by the end of week!

Use a different payment, won't look good on your credit file

Eh. I will if it fails again. I'm somewhat ambivalent about my so called credit score in general, It's been in the green all my life but fortunately have zero financial commitments (retired) so it it blips; so be it.

It was just a thought, helping nothing more

when mine updated to 71, its all black and white now, looks weird

i mean when you first get the continue/boundary option and the menus everything else is normal

That is weird, did it sort itself? I had a very small update, about 6mb.
