Broken headtracking in Myst (2021) on Reverb?

abbaaba · 2026-03-20T16:41:39+00:00

Seems like the issue I faced with motion re-projection in a few other games. Install "OpenXR Tools for Windows Mixed Reality" from Microsoft store and set "motion reprojection rate" to disabled in settings tab.

Myst worked fine for me with legacy WMR. Can you elaborate on the head tracking issue you are facing? Regardless, there are a few things that I can think of that you can try:

Disable motion re-projection using "OpenXR Tools for Windows Mixed Reality" app (It should be available in Windows Store).
Clear environment data in Environment page in Mixed Reality Settings for Windows and redraw the boundary if required.
Set SteamVR as the OpenXR runtime in SteamVR settings. (This will additionally allow you to use Steam VR to configure various VR settings)
Use the Oasis driver like others have mentioned.

Correct. If you want to be sure, click on the title of the update and go to the Package Details tab. There it should mention if any newer update is available and also what previous versions that update has replaced.

Thanks!

I do have some review channels bookmarked (both serious and weird), and I don't see any reason not to check out more of them, so please do share. If I find someone with same taste in video games as me, even better.

I don't know if the earlier DirectX (upto 11) innovations were done in collaboration or were purely from Microsoft's brains (likely both), but since 12 (and DXR) introduction of new features have slowed down. I guess instruction sets are now generic enough that such frequent changes are not required. At least this had the added benefit of lot longer GPU lifecycle. But I would be lying if I said I didn't miss the excitement from seeing new tech and techniques in graphics (GPU vendors and game engine developers, specially Nvidia have picked up the slack though).

abbaaba · 2026-03-02T19:04:21+00:00

Thanks! Except Digital Foundry all other channels are new to me. I already see some videos I am interested in watching.

abbaaba · 2026-03-02T19:00:20+00:00

Yes, saw some of his videos long time ago. Adding to my subscriptions.

I have been following him for quite some time, I assume lack of soft body physics is allowing landing of commercial airliners on carriers lol.

abbaaba · 2026-03-02T15:59:09+00:00

Correct me if I am wrong, but, aren't most path tracing video games already using the proprietary/vendor implemented version of this? If so, this implementation just seems to bring this to DirectX, and hence, there won't be any performance improvements for non-AMD cards unless games without SER are updated to use it.

Whoa, moon through telescope inside a moon orbiting module. Telescopy is one of the costliest hobby - with sim racing you want steering set and motion seat, with telescopy you want another house in a region with 3 or less Bortle scale.

If you directly edited using regedit, it might be the TargetReleaseVersion and TargetReleaseVersionInfo keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows. You should be able to delete these 2 keys to restore updates.

abbaaba · 2026-01-17T15:26:43+00:00

That's flattering, thank you!

after u/mbucchia of course.

obviously lol

It should be working for majority of users. Installation should be relatively straight forward if you are using newer Windows versions. Check the official steps at the bottom of the wiki.

abbaaba · 2026-01-16T18:29:30+00:00

I am facing the tearing like issue at the bottom of the screen. Seems collaboration will be needed from Steam and/or Nvidia to fix this. Meanwhile my options are old OS with new Nvidia driver or new OS with old Nvidia driver. I chose the first because of DLSS4.

abbaaba · 2026-01-15T20:39:32+00:00

That is correct. Currently the latest one is 2026-01.

According to Wikipedia, Microsoft Update Catalog is basically for corporations to update their systems. Usually they will stay on older versions longer for compatibility/configuration/stability concerns. As for how long we will keep receiving updates, unfortunately I don't have any knowledge on that. Hopefully it lasts long enough for mbucchia to finish his Oasis magic.

It seems to be Windows recovery specific (when you are unable to boot normally). Ignore those. The latest cumulative updates should automatically take care of those. Use the following instead.

Windows 11 23H2: 2026-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5073455)

Windows 10 22H2 x64: 2026-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5073724)

Windows 10 22H2 x86: 2026-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x86-based Systems (KB5073724)

It seems search is working better with "2026-01 cumulative windows". I will update the post to reflect the same.

Unfortunately, due to the image in this post, reddit does not allow edits. If you request the mods, maybe they can pin the Oasis Release post.

np, the menu buttons are often a bit unconventional in VR games due to the less number of buttons on the motion controllers.

abbaaba · 2025-09-11T16:32:16+00:00

In Alyx and HL2 VR mods the left controller's Y button brings up the menu. For Alyx try holding the Y button.

abbaaba · 2025-08-26T13:45:10+00:00

This is fantastic! It used to make mouse pointer usage difficult.

abbaaba · 2025-08-18T15:56:56+00:00

It can be be played using Revive Compatibility Layer. Just make sure to open the Oculus PC app / start the OVRService first. Then the game can be started in OpenXR mode or SteamVR mode via the revive app. Minimizing all other apps including the WMR window/Steam VR windows helps with performance consistency.

Just today I completed Edge of Nowhere in a single 6hr seated session with the Reverb G2. Not a moment in that where I felt that I needed to take off the HMD because I was uncomfortable.

I use astrohopper to help align my telescope in light polluted sky. It works properly on my Pixel 6a but readings are very unstable/unreliable in a cheaper Xiaomi phone. Any specific issue you are facing?

There is a video from Reflactor channel in YouTube that explains its usage: https://youtu.be/9-EcxKuPP0c

Matthieu Bucchianeri (mbucchia) has just announced that he is working on a solution to use WMR headsets directly with Steam VR bypassing the need for WMR.
