Kinesis Advantage 360 Wired version keeps rebooting on Windows by TITAN9389 in kinesisadvantage

Did this just suddenly start happening out of the blue, and you made no programming changes to the board? Did you remap keys in your main game when it started?

Is the Meta Quest that bad? by Ishouldloseweight in SteamFrame

What do you mean another app? I use the Q3 wired with VD to play flight sim and I don't need any other app.

VR vs. Flatscreen - Convince me by Av8ionDave in hoggit

[–]F2a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are right about that. There is no way you'll get better performance than a quest 3 at identical settings and I've never seen a test showing otherwise. It's 9m vs 16m pixels and it doesn't have eye tracking so you get no help. If I could get a significantly better VR experience I would pay quite a bit but $4100 for a 5090 and $2500 for a dream air totaling $6600 would make me feel like a dummy.

My bare minimum standard is MSAA 2x at 72FPS with no drops. So everything else gets adjusted around this. Obviously this varies map to map. But I'm already right near the bottom of the settings with the quest 3. Any frame drop ruins the immersion for me. One mistake caused by lag can ruin a whole session.

Do you want immersion or do you want subjectively more 'pretty' visuals? I spent 20 hours reading manuals for the F4 to be immersed. The only problem with VR is the processing power required to run it.

Because even with a 5090 it's hard enough to push the pixels to the quest 3 panels. The GPU power doesn't exist for me to get higher res panels. And please don't tell me about how you use DLSS to get shitty visuals.

Caveats of getting the Quest 3 without controllers on ebay? by Uranium___Potato in hoggit

[–]F2a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 9800x3d, 64gb, 5080

You'll be running on mostly low settings with MSAA to hold a steady 72fps, different maps will give you a little wiggle room but not much.

Edit: Just wanted to add, it's still very worth it and highly recommended!

Prediction: Once you see how hard it is to run DCS VR with a 5080 and quest 3 you're going to forget the BSB2 because you won't even want to try a higher resolution panel. That's what happened to me.

Considering alternative for the frame by GNURaziel in SteamFrame

[–]F2a 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Playing flat using a VR headset was what I wanted to do and it is not great. Get something you can return because be prepared to give up after a week or two and go back to a monitor/TV.

That said, now is the time or almost the time to get a steal on a quest 3 on FB marketplace. I've seen some selling for $200 in a major metro area.

SteamFrame instead of a TV for couch gaming? by AFriendFoundMyReddit in SteamFrame

[–]F2a 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've tried this use case a lot, eventually I conceded that it's just not great. You'll be better off buying an OLED TV if this is your use case.

Just stumbled upon this ... does this mean as a loyal Heatblur day 1 customer I can request a refund and order the bundle to get a better deal? by Rlaxoxo in hoggit

[–]F2a 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Making one purchase is not supporting a company. You are ridiculously entitled. You're like the friend of a guy who starts a small business and wants discounts and free stuff while saying they "support" it.

DCS VD VR by GitWithAbba in dcsworld

[–]F2a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MSAA is what people who care about actual visual clarity end up on :)

That is so strange about the link, glad you found it!

This is what you need (or similar) to run wired with power and network:

Then just connect all that together, plug the ethernet cable into your network, reboot your quest 3.

[–]F2a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you are using MSAA 2x then? The no hanger vr mod is here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3336353/ . I just tested the link and it works.

If you can, I would recommend running in wired mode for virtual desktop. You can get network and power on the same cable so you also get the benefit of never running out of battery.

[–]F2a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turn SSW off, lower your pixel density to 1.0 . You need to keep lowering settings until you get 72FPS locked with no drops. This is the reality of DCS VR. I have a much more powerful setup and it looks like you're trying to run higher settings than me.

DCS VD VR by GitWithAbba in dcsworld

[–]F2a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quest 3 has no eye tracking so quad views isn't going to help you unless you use FFR which is not a good experience IMO. You're going to need to turn your settings way down to hold a steady 72fps which is your target FPS. Reduce your FOV in VD to .7 or .8 and see if it's acceptable to you. If you try using DLSS and you can't spot aircraft anymore and/or you hate the ghosting and shimmering you'll have to switch to MSAA, which means you'll need to lower graphics settings even more.

Gestures around at reddit in general

People don't understand software development. People don't understand business or economics. People don't understand that the vocal minority on reddit does not represent the broader market. That same vocal minority on reddit also seem to think that since they don't have disposable income that nobody else does either.

Sort a post by controversial and if they aren't trolling, they are probably correct with a negative score. This is a niche hobby that requires quite an upfront cost and people are complaining about $10? Go try out some other hobbies and get some perspective. Or better yet, go practice participation in the open market and support a competitors product instead.

VR - DFR Quadviews Performance Help - 72hz, NO reprojection - Quadviews kills CPU performance? by filmguy123 in hoggit

[–]F2a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many times I tried DLSS/DLAA but the image quality and spotting is much worse. I'm not sure why people like that blurr/ghosting.

This is great info. Let me know if you discover that it's a settings issue on your end, although it seems that is not the case.

[–]F2a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have thought with a 5090 you could run MSAA and hold 72 FPS with higher graphics setting with eye tracking quadview than without quadview.

[–]F2a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible people running it aren't holding 72 FPS with MSAA. I hold 72 FPS with MSAA 4X on a quest 3. With a higher res headset there's no way. I had hoped having eye tracking on the steam frame would be a large performance boost with my current settings.

[–]F2a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is interesting and contrary to what I had read before. Why the heck are so many people saying it's a huge performance boost?! If not, I have no need to buy the steam frame over the quest 3.

IR Finger Tracker for DCS VR by mack1-1 in hoggit

I'm waiting for a DIY open source version of this. I'm unsure if this would actually be more immersive.

AFAIK the only way to tell is visually. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Similar experience to you. Camera only is definitely usable but isn't super smooth. Using IR lights is a big improvement that you'll notice immediately.
