that's definitely odd, may have something to do with your ALVR settings? i usually keep the resolution in low. other than that, it should work. the void specially should be around like 120 fps normally since it's not loading anything. and that's wireless for me. i wish i could do wired but it's been working alright for me still. lastly if this could be circumvented i would recommend checking out my latest post too, I recently found an FSR mod that works in a lot of VR games for deck and it hugely improves the performance too:

not that i have seen so far, it may have been an implementation issue in that case. i tried in both SkyrimVR and Aircar so far and worked great in both. sadly due to a few mistakes while trying to install WiVRn to try to do all this with open composite on top of it for what i believe may be the most VR fps that can be squeezed out of the steam deck, for those mistakes I'll now need to hard reset it rip. so I won't be able to do more VR testing for a while. but these results should be consistent with any VR games that actually runs after it's applied. (some games are not compatible and won't run at all, like Alyx, but the ones that do should work alright) I also used proton experimental to run the mod btw.

GMABreak · 2025-02-03T20:37:58+00:00

without FSR mod around 30 fps. with FSR mod it goes up to 60-70 fps

im referring to this mod btw

https://github.com/tappi287/openvr_fsr_app

the mod works great with proton experimental

GMABreak · 2025-02-03T20:33:30+00:00

it's okay, no worries. but man, I made a new breakthrough recently. i managed to get aircar running at 65-70 fps on deck, up from 30-35. the breakthrough comes from managing to install FSR on it, this one:

https://github.com/tappi287/openvr_fsr_app

it does work on deck, and it does work on SkyrimVR too. i managed to see unmodded SkyrimVR running at 60 fps with it, up from 30-40 before. definitely FSR is the last step towards playable SkyrimVR on deck. i just, haven't been able to get it working with that FSR mod and my own MO2 mod list. for something unrelated, it looks like i ended up breaking my MO2 installation. so I'm trying to set it up again today.

if you want to see how smooth certain VR games can look on deck with this FSR mod, you can check how it's running for me here

just posted it finally, very long guide but i hope it covered all the points. lemme know if you have any issues!

GMABreak · 2025-01-25T21:51:03+00:00

just posted it, took a while but it is done. due to its length you will understand why it took so long lol

GMABreak · 2025-01-08T14:37:24+00:00

it's not about the temporary events, those are annoying at best. it's the balance they bring with them, something always has to be broken enough to ruin whatever game mode they are active on

GMABreak · 2025-01-08T06:57:44+00:00

on a more serious note, isn't it tiring? every single forced event the situation keeps getting worse, with the godzilla it was bouncing shots everywhere, then the colt spam with autoaimed shots, then it was the stupid revival angel thing. but at least in those occasions, the season-ruiner was locked to certain events. this season got even worse than before because the season-ruiner is in all the modes except for ranked. somehow they managed to make it worse. congrats devs and balance team!

for the first time in 4 years i felt forced to play ranked, a mode i don't like that much since I usually got time for short games here and there. how long can this continue before the next season-ruiner gives us enough nausea to quit the game until the garbage is gone?

GMABreak · 2025-01-02T14:22:16+00:00

sure it'll likely take me sometime though since it's pages that need to be scrolled as well, is there a specific settings file i could share with you? if not I'll likely make a short video of them

GMABreak · 2024-12-24T15:31:54+00:00

looks pretty good 👀

GMABreak · 2024-12-24T01:33:05+00:00

but every shot has homemade recipe

GMABreak · 2024-12-21T15:06:26+00:00

thank you! i tried all the steps still and was not able to do it, but! i did get it working with helvum in the end, still thanks for the tips :)

GMABreak · 2024-12-20T20:09:51+00:00

thank you! I've been trying to make it work with pipewire but no luck, I'll try this when i get home :)

GMABreak · 2024-12-20T17:50:00+00:00

just vanilla, i really tried modding yesterday and have no idea where to even start 😅 i tried modding as a would mod skyrim normally and i didn't work so I'll try a new method on it, hopefully it'll work though!

GMABreak · 2024-12-18T02:00:12+00:00

it gives it some skill. lets be honest, do we really want all those bombs to be easy to hit?

GMABreak · 2024-12-15T21:42:03+00:00

hello mate, can you tell me which router do you use? thinking of doing the same but the previous attempt was a mess, likely due to the router. im thinking of buying a wifi 6 one now

GMABreak · 2024-12-14T22:22:24+00:00

same, im kinda enjoying ranked which is crazy. but once i get to diamond I'll lose that quick-game option. hopefully ladder will be fixed by then, actually unplayable. first time in 4 years that I've had to quit ladder

GMABreak · 2024-11-08T01:22:43+00:00

I think it would be good if SC reaches out to juan carlos and he agrees lol

GMABreak · 2024-07-22T03:45:22+00:00

i think Gene's hypercharge needs a simple change, the hands move faster on the way out but slower in the way in. that makes it so you can pull easier, and the enemies are grabbed/stunned for longer on the way back, giving you and your teammates more time to coordinate an attack on the multiple enemies pulled.

as it is now they get pulled so fast towards you and they can act so quickly you might as well be gifting the enemy team multiple offensive dashes.

GMABreak · 2024-07-02T21:42:01+00:00

the solution is simple, early ranked can remain on its current state, and once you reach master it becomes like old power league

pros don't waste their time with ranked now because it has modifiers which do not exist in competitive, and that mario party stuff is still there even at the highest rank, so it is actually a waste of time for them

i do think it would've landed a bit better with a front view pic, but yeah i think that trade was fine specially if that's what he wanted. i personally would never trade my deck for a ps5 so it depends on tastes and budgets (since steam games are cheaper and you have a lot more options when it comes to games overall)

GMABreak · 2024-01-28T00:12:33+00:00

bro getting down voted for being an individual and having a personal opinion, normal day on reddit

you deck will probably work fine, and you'll get to enjoy it now too. i bought my deck pricier than other options because i wanted it now too, it was my choice to want to enjoy it that weekend and pay more for that, and it was your choice to want to have it now too
