[geordiejc]

Aside from steam what software or resources should i be aware of to get the max benefit of owning a vive?

i bought my vive 'used' and waiting for it to be delivered, will i get any free software ?

i hear you can play dx11 games using some software with mixed results too.

Is Steam VR the only place to play / pay for games?

sorry this is all new to me.

 

[geordiejc]

are there any good hacks for the vive ? i.e firmware etc.. to improve performance or whathave you?

One being modifying the cushion that pushes against your face. If you make it thinner, you get a better fov from being closer to the screen.

whats it called mate?

Honestly, you're going to get a lot more information from google rather than here. VR still isnt big enough to have a massive following here on OCUK and you might be waiting for days for stuff you can find via a search engine.

Its a bit worrying that you're asking these sorts of questions after you've bought one tbh.

In for a penny...
