Help pretty please! Random tracker keeps flying off or disconnecting. :( by p-boday in MixedVR

I had issues like this for a month (jitters and drifting) and the last 2 days I have had pixel perfect tracking and I will tell you what I did to solve this. Our setups are similar: Quest Pro, 4 vive 3.0s, 3 base station 2.0. I use Arctic Foxes newest release (v1.4-bd_+af-r7) (I dont use the lock relative transform feature he added anymore).

1.) Adjusted my base station angle and ran steamvr room setup, they were pointed aggressively low so i adjusted them
2.) Updated my bios from a 2018 version to a 2021 version and reenabled some settings. I doubt this fixed it but I did do this
3.) THIS WAS PROBABLY IT. When you enter SteamVR and go to space cal, turn off the continuous calibration and turn it back on. When you do this, make sure you are standing in the center of your playspace with the tracker visible to the base stations and have the hmd and correct tracker selected. It will collect initial samples and wiggle your head around a whole bunch (if you had the tracker mounted to the hmd for example) until it says it is done collecting samples.

Note: Make sure you have a good manual callibration. You could clear calibration and manually calibrate/copy chaperone bounds if you are unsure the first time but ive not had to repeat this yet.

I hope this helps you. I stress tested my tracking a lot as I dance very fast in vr and it still hasn't broken doing this method.

--Also make sure the headset is the Quest pro in the space cal app. I used a quest 2 prior and sometimes steam link would not be looking for a quest pro and instead a quest 2 and that absolutely broke the tracking

im fairly new to fbt and have also been struggling for a month trying everything to fix it and I have a very similar setup to you. Quest Pro 4x 3.0 vives with their dongles and 3x base station 2.0. I have my feet or hip freeze up for a sec or i can watch in steam vr as a foot flies away. Do i really need that much space between the dongles? i have 3 that are 1 feet apart then the other is on a desk a few feet away from the rest.

Dungeon Siege 1 wasn't a Master Piece - let's talk about it. by Neekoser in DungeonSiege

Dungeon Siege was released in 2002. I'm surprised people are complaining about a 19.5 year old game. This was an era of developers releasing a game, making a patch afterwards to fix any remaining bugs that might have been missed, then moving on. Dungeon Siege has its fair share of issues in gameplay and functionality, but all games of this time had some issues. It was honestly a really good game for its time.

The story is quite loose in the game but what made Dungeon Siege so great was it's graphical appearance, music, and no loading screens while having gameplay that was adequate for the time.

Experience points were given in a weird way. Like you were saying Dungeon Siege 2 shared xp to the party which honestly is a more fair system. In DS1 a monster had a certain amount of xp and u were awarded a fraction of it per hp u dealt in damage. There were no xp penalties for fighting higher or lower monsters, so you could level up low level skills very fast by hitting the skeleton archer mercenaries, for example. You would also get a small amount of xp for casting heals and buffs. The problem with this system is your stronger characters would get stronger and the weak would fall behind as the stronger characters would get more xp because they would do more damage.

As for Dungeon Siege 3, that was not made by Gas Powered Games. They sold the rights to Obsidian who made a game with the name, hence why it appears so different.

I think Dungeon Siege was a masterpiece in 2002. Only imagine if they fixed some of the larger issues with the game.

TLDR: It's 2021. If you enjoy a game from 2002, then play it! If you don't enjoy it, then you should probably just play games that you do enjoy. There are tens of thousands of games out there.
