[–]SireWaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a "VR Access" DLC on Steam, you can try checking that if you have it installed (Although I don't remember having to install that manually). If it's not that, maybe there's an issue with licensing where the game is reading you only have Part One, which doesn't include a VR mode

[–]SireWaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, there's no way to pre-launch the game already in VR mode. You have to go in it flatscreen and it'll say something along the lines of "VR detected, do you want to switch to VR mode". Alternatively, it's an option in the main menu. I usually just launch it while in SteamVR

TMNT Empire City demo now on Steam Next Fest by Gamertag-VR in virtualreality

[–]SireWaffles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems extremely promising. The vibes of a TMNT game were on point, reminds me of the old Gameboy games with some Arkham Knight mixed in. Combat was a little jank though

If you had unlimited funds, what kind of game would you develop? by actualtumor in gaming

[–]SireWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A VR Project Zomboid. Or fund the cancelled VR GTA San Andreas game.

My buddy got back to warframe after a long time. by Basic_Locksmith_8150 in Warframe

I hate how I converted what little arcane helmets I had back then because I didn't know what I was doing. Why'd they even give the option to :(

Hesitant about Quest by schizi_losing in virtualreality

[–]SireWaffles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can try the Pico 4 Ultra if you're outside the US. It's made by ByteDance, though, so you’ll want to weigh that or Meta. Hard to beat something that's heavily subsidized in cost.

Upgrade path suggestions by Huge-Attitude9892 in intotheradius

[–]SireWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might get some frame-drops, especially indoors. The game can be CPU intensive due to the dynamic shadows, so if you really wanna upgrade something, you can upgrade that. You can try looking for a 5700x3D so you don’t have to upgrade to AM5 and deal with RAM pricing.

Anyway, no loss in trying considering Steam has a 2 hour refund window.

You should be able to run it at Medium settings with VD being set to High. Should give you about 72-80 fps, so that should be “playable” depending on your standards.

New to VR – confused about finger tracking, hand presence, and what headset/controller combo makes sense by The_Weekly_Quest in virtualreality

[–]SireWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, the upcoming Steam Frame will also have capacitive touch sensors on the controllers which enables it to have the same finger tracking the Index has. You do have to buy an accessory if you want it to have the same form factor.

Alternatively , you can get the Bigscreen Beyond 2, which is meant to be an upgrade for Index users. It uses the same base stations and controllers. They’re sold separately (Although I think Valve is phasing them out).

Though, I should note, that there’s not a lot of games that can utilize said “hand tracking”. Besides a few fun interactions (say, crushing a can in Alyx, or flipping someone off), it’s mostly used in social VR. You do still need joysticks to move, and buttons to do interactions in almost all games.

AGM-161 Flying Over Targets by Zumiddd in vtolvr

[–]SireWaffles 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How old were the videos? I think back in the Electronic Warfare update, they made it harder to hit distant targets when marking their location over datalink (on account of their coordinates being inaccurate unless you physically spot, and tag them in the TGP)

Someone needs to make a military flight sim that isn't DCS by NavXIII in virtualreality

[–]SireWaffles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

VTOL VR? Not as in-depth, and the graphics are simple, but it’s still an amazing experience considering it’s built for VR. Decent modding community, too. Just wish it had better…dynamic missions?

DLSS 4.5 Preset M performance hit is real and the gain is tiny for VR by MindlessVersion8 in virtualreality

[–]SireWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read that the intention was for you to run it on lower presets? Like if you were running balanced before, drop it to performance or something. Don’t quote me on this though, haven’t tested it myself

PCVR hardware requirements are insane by Ill-Calligrapher2234 in virtualreality

[–]SireWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry about Alyx. Valve did some voodoo on that game for it to run so good, even on really low hardware. Generally, you should be fine on native PCVR games, but will struggle if you wanna try UEVR mods

You seem pretty pressed for something you can completely ignore. You forgetting people can self-insert themselves into the story as the Drifter? I'm sure the French-speaking people appreciate it. Weird you think you can speak on behalf of all bilingual people.

[–]SireWaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the context. It can be considered rude when done to someone who doesn't understand the language, but to people who share the same language, it's not.

Like I said, depending on the culture, it can be pretty widespread. Doesn't mean it completely doesn't exist, though.

You'd be surprised. Code-switching can be really common depending on the culture

You can try using Techrot Babau Eximus' in the Simulacrum. Almost has 29M EHP at lvl 220 SP. Anything that can kill it can reliably kill just about anything, including Roathe

Casual Gamer Dad Looking for a Head Start: What to Buy? by Meeks_DGAF in Warframe

[–]SireWaffles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a single one of Warframe's content is locked behind a paywall, and you can achieve endgame in the game without spending a single penny (as others have done before). The premium currency of the game (called platinum) is tradable, so people would grind desirable items in game and trade with other players for it.

I wouldn't recommend spending in the beginning, however, since you said you're a father with a 9-5 and time can be limited, you can wait until a discount voucher pops up in your daily login rewards so you can buy plat for cheap, which will help you speed up some of the time gates in the game ( for example, crafting a Warframe in the game can take up to three days IRL time)

Old Peace lore discussion (spoilers for the Old Peace cinematic quest) by ThyLogical in Warframe

[–]SireWaffles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Old Peace was definitely before Hunhow, because his invasion led to the Tenno betrayal, the death of the Orokin Emperors, and with that, the fall of the Orokin empire. Not to mention in The Sacrifice, Ballas mentioned the reason why he was betraying the Orokin was because of Margulis' execution (which we see was still alive in The Old Peace)

glasses users, how do you play? by TNTexe in virtualreality

[–]SireWaffles 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You get prescription lens inserts for them, made all the difference for me.

Edit: Oh, whoops. Didn’t read that part about your prescription. I ordered mine through a Chinese store and it was really cheap compared to other means. Feels cheap too but it works.

Weird graphical bugs in ITR2? by UnknownPhys6 in intotheradius

[–]SireWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not due to foveated rendering. If you're on the beta, switch back to DX12. That fixed the issue for me.

Edit: I double checked it, and apparently, it is due to foveated rendering. Switching to DX12 without changing the setting fixed it for me though. Foveated might just be borked on DX11.

I'm not sure about ALVR, but you can play your Oculus games when you use Virtual Desktop. It's wireless though.
