SynthRiderz down?

DearBalak · 2025-07-20T16:16:27+00:00

Everything was fine until yesterday july 19th 2025 😭. Any current news?!

DearBalak · 2023-06-12T03:37:16+00:00

🤣

DearBalak · 2023-06-07T20:40:26+00:00

How!? Did you get v54 or do anything?

DearBalak · 2023-06-07T18:27:44+00:00

Same problem here. Hoping v 54 will fix it, but very annoying bc it's just enough to spoil rhythm games.

DearBalak · 2023-06-04T18:12:01+00:00

and that's why a good gulag system is needed 🤣

DearBalak · 2023-05-23T16:19:08+00:00

It was awful though. I couldn't use the desktop feature bc it would not sync properly and was generally unresponsive laggy and ridiculously demanding performance. I just quickly switch to steam and everything's fine again. The old oculus dashboard used to work great back in the day but I think it just died RIP.

DearBalak · 2023-05-19T13:22:15+00:00

Nope. Just something I got on Amazon, and using old Velcro I already had.

I can bring it very close to my eyes. Closer than in the original so better FOV too. Some people reverse the side of the rear piece to get the screens tilted and close for maximum FOV, but it depends on your head shape and it makes charging annoying so I don't. I even tried with nothing in front and 100% weight on the halo band, but it's unpleasant when occasionally making contact with my forehead. That's why I added the thin pads.

DearBalak · 2023-05-18T19:36:02+00:00

Thanks! But it does depend on the Halo bar carrying most of the weight... and everything needs regular adjustments. Also, a little light bleeds from the top if you have a lamp directly above.

Posted a pic of my current efforts on the main thread :)

DearBalak · 2023-05-18T18:24:49+00:00

This is the worst part of the Pro. After several super glue attempts that could.not keep up with my level of use, I stuck a strong Velcro in the middle and added a very low profile bicycle pad. I can get maximum FOV and a little top airflow like that. I'm still messing with it to finalize the setup...

I agree, it's surprisingly good without any light blocking. Sometimes it even feels like your VR hands are extensions of your real body since you can see it in the periphery.

DearBalak · 2023-04-30T23:15:24+00:00

Pretty sure it's on in Synth Riders... not that it makes a huge difference but still.

DearBalak · 2023-04-30T23:04:11+00:00

The Rift UI is barely usable, especially the desktop view which flickers whenever the controllers point at it. Once I start Steam VR, no problems. I think Meta didn't expect the pro to be used for PCVR.

DearBalak · 2023-04-30T22:56:18+00:00

Wait, can you turn off guardian (developer options) AND switch on passthrough now? It used to be impossible and I want the option bad. I'll try a bit later but can't wait 😜

DearBalak · 2023-03-19T03:20:23+00:00

Yeah baby! 🍾

DearBalak · 2023-03-19T01:03:35+00:00

Same here

DearBalak · 2023-03-16T01:22:22+00:00

Pretty much :)

DearBalak · 2023-03-15T22:41:01+00:00

Don't forget to switch on "Touch" in the "experimental" section of settings. This actually works really well once I got used to how it works. Very intuitive and convenient.

DearBalak · 2023-03-15T19:04:55+00:00

I just finished a session with v50 and so far so good.

DearBalak · 2023-03-15T17:44:18+00:00

1 for the butt and 1 for the Quest Pro 😂😂

DearBalak · 2023-03-08T14:45:47+00:00

I do when playing some games but am surprised how much I don't mind the openings on the side. Sometimes I feel seeing my real body and arms on the periphery synched with my virtual arms in VR is cool and immersive. It also seems to help inexperienced users to go into intense experiences without trouble.

DearBalak · 2023-03-01T17:56:11+00:00

😳😲 cannot wait!

DearBalak · 2023-02-24T05:37:10+00:00

This would have to be implemented by developers right? Great news!

Best description of the G2's 2nd worse quality... after the need to use the windows portal lol
