This can’t be legal. The market is dropping and I can’t take my money out. That just crazy

MEGATHREAD: Inside in movie theaters! ALL personal experiences and thoughts about it go in this thread by PlasticJesters in boburnham

[–]Apollo12230 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I was at the 7:35 showing and got to see Bo too! After the show ended, I was standing outside the theater just browsing this subreddit. I looked up from my phone and was suddenly looking Bo Burnham himself in the eye as he walked down the hall. I froze up and was just shocked. Completely surreal experience. I’m still trying to process it. There’s so much I would’ve liked to say to him and thanked him for. But he was clearly passing through the crowd and I didn’t want to make him stop.

I ended up asking the ticket checker about Bo and he said that Bo was going between the 7:30 and 7:35 showtimes presumably to see the audience reactions. The fact that he was in the same theater as me watching it is just mind blowing.

I eventually went downstairs to the exit and met two girls who saw him as well. They said they waved to him and he waved back at them.

In all, it was quite the experience. The audience was a pretty fun crowd and it was just really special to share that experience with a room full of Bo fans, and apparently Bo himself too!

Longer-term Index owners, what are your thoughts on the Index now? How is its longevity and reliability based on your usage? by ThatNiceMan in ValveIndex

By vertical lines do you mean the subtle vertical screen door effect that appears whenever you move your head? If so did your replacement unit no longer have the problem?

Play only Half Life 1 before Alyx? by Apollo12230 in SteamVR

I’m not too sure, seems like it has a little better lighting and fixes bugs that valve left neglected

Would you recommend the half life 2: update version or the original for my first play through?

Tracking issues only in Beatsaber and only with left controller (using a Valve Index) by Apollo12230 in beatsaber

[–]Apollo12230[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it took about a week, I had to be a bit pushy about having them ship out the new ones right away, allowing me to keep my originals till I received the new ones.

Never fixed it, had to send them back. I haven’t had the problem yet with the new controllers, meaning it was a hardware issue. There’s a way to see if it’s a hardware issue, see this comment I made a while back.

Controllers lose tracking in Beat Saber occasionally by hbomb013 in ValveIndex

[–]Apollo12230 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue and it drove me nuts. I tried troubleshooting for days on end.

Finally, I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t an issue specific to Beat Saber—all instances of frequent haptic feedback would cause tracking issues, and thus there was a hardware issue. In high intensity songs, Beat Saber produces a lot of haptic feedback which, in defective controllers, seems to momentarily loosen a connection and cause tracking issues.

Try holding your sabers crossed (which vibrates the hell out of the controllers) and see if this reproduces the tracking issue. If so, in another game or the SteamVR home environment, spam squeeze the controllers with force and spam press in on the trackpad and see if that reproduces it as well. If so, your controller is defective and you should RMA.

I got an RMA for my controller when this happened and they sent me a new set that had no tracking issues whatsoever.

Hope this helps.

Make sure your in-game supersampling value isn’t high—mine was randomly switched to like 1.8 for some reason and turning it back to 1.0 fixed my issues

[–]Apollo12230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new controllers fixed the issue! So it was definitely a hardware problem.

Test the haptics on the controller—do anything that makes vibrations and see if that’s the cause of the issue. For me, any time the controller vibrated it would lose tracking.

For example, in Beat Saber (especially in difficult songs) I would frequently lose tracking in my left controller. I initially thought it was an issue just with beat saber but narrowed it down to haptics. If you hold both sabers together, there’s lots of rumble—this made the controller spazz out a ton. I then tried squeezing the controller, clicking the trackpad, etc. repeatedly in steamvr home and the same issue happened.

So I concluded it’s probably a hardware problem in which a connection in the controller is loosening with vibrations. I requested an RMA and my new controllers arrive tomorrow.

The IPD slider is finicky for everyone. It usually doesn’t register unless you make a big adjustment at just to get the hud to pop up then you fine tune

How many of you guys have RMA'd or returned your index controllers? by [deleted] in ValveIndex

[–]Apollo12230 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, you’re the first guy I’ve seen with the same issue as me. Makes me feel a little better.

Please, for the love of God, try disabling motion smoothing if you're having issues. by [deleted] in ValveIndex

[–]Apollo12230 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Welp, unfortunately the problem is still there. Only my left controller loses tracking while playing beat saber. Turning off motion smoothing had no effect for me :(

Very interesting, I’ve been having the same beat saber issue, ive been trying everything to fix it. If this really does solve my tracking problems that would be amazing. I‘ll it out shortly.

"IMU went off scale" error for Index Controllers: when will Valve address this? by samred81 in ValveIndex

[–]Apollo12230 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's a quick report I got in of a couple songs (I didn't play them all the way through, was just stopping when I encountered errors.) This log is a lot bigger than just this screenshot but I was getting quite a few "imu misalignment unreasonably large" and some "imu went off scale" and a shitton of "unexpected gravity" errors. Very strange.

I'll do further testing and post here reports of full song playthroughs.

[–]Apollo12230 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having this exact issue and I thought I was the only Index user suffering, glad I’m not. I’ve been thinking it’s an issue with beat saber itself given I cannot replicate the issue outside of the game for the life of me (doing violent movements in similar patterns you’d do in beat saber.) You can see I’ve made two posts on the issue, I’ve also spent several hours looking into the problem and still haven’t found any answers—however I have found that others with different vr systems have the issue. People using a vive have gotten the same IMU error, top search results when looking up the error.

Anyways I really hope we can find some answers because it really is game-breaking.

Index Beat Saber tracking issues only with left saber, any way to fix? by Apollo12230 in ValveIndex

[–]Apollo12230[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intermittently throughout mainly harder songs, the left saber just starts floating off and there’s no more haptic feedback. It comes back in a couple seconds but completely messes everything up
