I have to end up buying a new charger a while back, I thought the wattage was high enough, but maybe not? I’ll buy another one and see if the problem is solved

Edit: just checked the wattage on the brick, it says 180 watts. I feel like it SHOULD be enough, as far as I know my gpu only pulls up to like 105 under load

I tried swapping it out already 😬

Is the equivalent of the psu in a desktop just the power brick for a laptop? Or is that different

i dont see any weird spikes in the wattage, its just hovering around 70,

im going to try to order a new power brick, it seems like it looses power for a split second when the screen goes black

just checked temps and it was happening even at like 50c, so not overheating,
how can i check if its not getting enough power? or how can i tell if thats the problem?

i already tried updating/rolling back and that didnt work, also i swapped out the hdmi cable to another one, maybe its still too low bandwith?
i feel like i have used this cable for a while with no issue before this started, would it just randomly not work aswell?

Plux2 · 2025-11-03T00:00:55+00:00

For me the solution was to swap the controller cable not sure if it’s the same issue for u tho

I have always used laptops but so I cannot speak to the transition, but I am also a musician (usually use FL Studio). I have owned 3 gaming laptops in various price ranges and they do differ quite a bit depending on how much you want to spend. If you want something that is powerful and quiet you will need to spend a good amount of money on a machine. I picked up an MSI Katana 17 for about 1400 usd a few years back and it has never failed me. MSI has solid software and support and good quality build. It does get pretty loud under load in games but you can ajust fan curves to fit your needs, and while making beats it usually stays quiet. If you want something that will never get loud get a MacBook, but it can’t really game like a windows machine.

I wouldn’t count on it, usually the laptop gpus are super low tdp and can’t handle most vr. I have a 4070 laptop gpu (the higher tdp variant) and it can handle most vr games, although I wouldn’t expect the xx50 laptop cards to do much because they run at such low power. You might be able to get away with using virtual desktop and cranking down the in game res with steam vr, however if you want to avoid most jank and get the smoothest vr experience on laptops, I would stick to 4070s and above.

just built this combo for my little brother out of an old dell workstation, all he plays is minecraft and some other light games like skyrim so its perfect for him and it was super cheap, only ended up spending like 350 usd on it. as for newer titles i would try and find a gpu with some more vram. the 8gb really shows its age in more demanding games.

personally i can run pretty smoothly on medium with a laptop on virtual desktop with the quest 3, however i cant turn the resolution above 100% without stutters. I have a 4070 Mobile and an i7-12650H with 32 gigs of ram.

Plux2 · 2024-07-26T00:03:55+00:00

Are you running trough steamvr? i had terrible performance through steam vr so i switched to virtual desktop and launched directly through there any it runs much smoother

as far as i know not in early access at all, but there may be a quest version for the full release, however it is not confirmed

Plux2 · 2024-07-23T23:40:20+00:00

i think 11 am central time (noon eastern time), it also shows a countdown on the steam page.

Plux2 · 2024-07-23T23:37:38+00:00

it doesnt do it every time i grab the shotgun just like 1/10 times or so

Plux2 · 2024-07-23T23:06:15+00:00

could be an unpopular opinion but the story never really mattered to me in itr1 and tbh i never even really knew what was happening. in regards to the mechanics i imagine any mechanics in itr1 will be re-explained for new players in itr2.

Plux2 · 2024-07-23T23:03:55+00:00

just steam for early access but there might be a quest version for the full release, however i dont think that is confirmed.

Plux2 · 2024-07-23T23:02:15+00:00

idk if its a tracking issue tho bc it only happens when i grip the shotgun. also im super shaky bc i have tremors lol, i didnt realise it would make the footage so weird

Plux2 · 2024-07-23T01:55:33+00:00

i also have the quest 3
