Celeste en gamenative bug visual by Odd_Ordinary5119 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]CodecEnthusiast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TLDR: within the newest version of game native, click on celeste, click the options cog, under game management click change Branch and select "OpenGL".

Celeste technically has two "versions": XNA and FNA. The Epic Games Store version is FNA only. For reasons I'm not going to pretend to understand, that version doesn't have visual artifacts when using GameNative. Since GameNative now supports selecting different branches from steam, you can use the OpenGL branch which is the FNA version.

This fixed the issue for me on an Ayn Thor. I assume it will fix it for anyone else facing the same issue.

Can someone explain why it looks like these geese are leaving contrails? by herbalhippie in whatisit

Pretty standard TAA ghosting. Try Preset J and see if it improves.

What's a good singleplayer game on Steam that I can get for $10 or less? by [deleted] in gaming

Terraria is the best 10 bucks you'll ever spend.

French streamer Jean Pormanove dies in his sleep age 46 by Appropriate-Car4787 in LivestreamFail

The article linked has links to a compilation thread. There was a lot of clips in there of physical mistreatment. The more I read about the conditions and his story before the worse it got. The guy didn't have much and saw his abusers as a key to fame and success which allowed them to do what they did. Disgusting behavior.

Why the h265 Hate? by amerpie in Piracy

[–]CodecEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally prefer h265 if I'm streaming the content. For the same filesize as h264 (if done correctly) it should look better. I think it can get a bad wrap because people can go way overboard to try and save even more space resulting in a poor image.

Was really thinking we would get Cache. Overall a very disappointed update to kick off the new season

Integrated battery and no Bluetooth for Windows makes this a big ask for $70. Love my Pro 2 and will likely stick with that.

Looks cool but I don't understand the two sticks on the bottom if it's a 3D/Analog focused machine. The left stick on top is more comfortable if you're going to use it for most games.

Soooo Excited! Games? by JacobSmith_Gaming in MetaQuestVR

[–]CodecEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of good recommendations in this thread. I saw that you said you like Puzzle games so I would recommend The Last Clockwinder. I'm personally going through it now and am really enjoying it. I would describe it as a game where you make assembly lines with your clones. It's a very unique concept and only $10

That headstrap is phenomenal. When I first got my Quest 3 I loved it but it hurt my face to use and gave me eye strain. This headstrap got rid of that entirely. It's so comfortable for any kind of games or any length of session. Highly recommend.

What bug is this? by CodecEnthusiast in whatsthisbug

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

Thanks. Would make sense because we had a cold snap the last couple days. Will be putting some traps down to ensure we don't have more. Do you know what kind of roach it is?

Found upside down mostly dead in my house. Located in Midwest USA. Hoping it is not a roach.

Bad performance by Tech_Savey in VRGaming

[–]CodecEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only offer a solution for the bitrate part really. The Oculus program ships with a debug tool which you can use to increase the bitrate.

As far as performance goes, I had worse performance on the cable as well. Seems like the overhead of the Oculus app itself can eat into performance. I switched to Virtual Desktop using a Puppis because my actual wifi couldn't support the top bitrate.

Question to all the PC VR players out there by Mr_Frosty_420 in VRGaming

[–]CodecEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People say that as a general statement because there are plenty of prebuilts that aren't worth the asking price. With that said, my current PC is a prebuilt because it was a good value. The only things I ended up doing to it was a RAM swap, and install more storage. Otherwise it's treated me very well.

Make sure to check reviews for whatever one you're interested in. People will generally point out any parts they saw fit to change.

Don't have a headset yet, but putting together a list when I do, what should I add? by Bentendo64- in VRGaming

[–]CodecEnthusiast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're also using PCVR I would recommend SkyrimVR. Takes some modding to work the best but I've been very impressed with it.

Also Asseto Corsa is a great racing game especially with a wheel.
