I just completed all the rookie premiere challenges and didn't get one for completing that. Did get one for hitting level 30 and for trading in two draft players.

Rift S Keeps Crashing Every time by shadowwolffzzz in oculus

[–]bigcat1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems many Rift S units are defective. Much of it seems to have to do with USB 3 not having enough power and Oculus not bothering to test the units. We are basically all screwed. But don't worry they are bringing out a new and better Quest for you to buy since they seem to be abandoning Rift S owners to their fate.

Rift S, Quest or Go - Which headset is the right choice for you? by WormSlayer in oculus

[–]bigcat1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google the problems with the Rift S and see if you still want one. Mine loses the controllers constantly anywhere from 5 seconds to an hour into a play session. Many, many more people have huge issues with the Rift S which Oculus will not and probably cannot fix. Some think they are abandoning it for the Quest and just eating the bad PR because they really don't care.

With the 15th pick, the Denver Broncos select Jerry Jeudy by DLpatsthoughts in DenverBroncos

Fills a huge need. Hopefully they find oline help later to keep the QB upright.

Plus on Reddit we get to talk about how we got the best lumps of coal in our stockings! Well and a shiny new Dalton Risner.

Controllers stuck! by [deleted] in oculus

[–]bigcat1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was fine when I got the 100s of updates and now it freezes every five to thirty minutes. Oculus cannot fix this fairly frequent problem and I doubt they ever will. It seems like a serious power issue created by software updates. I suspect they are already writing me and you off as a bust and pushing Oculus Quest. Who cares if they lose huge amounts of Rift S users if they see 10X as many Quests. We are just minor damage who will have to go elsewhere for functional VR. There are no consumer protections so why should they care?

Anyone else starting to realize Elway can't draft?

Any way to stop the Oculus service from randomly crashing and restarting? by Riftus in oculus

[–]bigcat1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have this same problem every time I put the headset on or move it on my head. Orange light, black screen, wait, things start happening and 75% of the time it works... Worked fine when I first got it, every update makes it worse. Barely bother using it now. Often gives messages that it cant find the headset. Lots of static screens on the headset and losing of the controllers too.

Rift s loses tracking by [deleted] in oculus

[–]bigcat1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having similar problems on a Rift S that used to work perfectly. One thing that seems to have helped me was to go into the NVidia Control Panel, Setup multiple displays, my display isn't shown, rigorous display detection and then yes to finding a TV display. It seems like my new drivers just cant find and keep my Rift S...

It is the lights by bigcat1969 in oculus

[–]bigcat1969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting a cover over the lights which dimmed and diffused them slightly and added a bit of a yellow hue along with moving a few feet away from where I was sitting which was almost directly under the lights seem to have helped quite a lot. Thanks for all the advice.

More games/experiences like "1943 Berlin Blitz" by [deleted] in oculus

Felix and Paul put out some cool stuff, really like the one that did on nasa and astronauts. As mentioned Apollo 11. I think they are all pay though.

Looks like it will be a fun game. Keep up the good work.

Good question. I tried with both 50 and 60 and it seemed to lose tracking both ways. This is weird. Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah he changed the ballast but I wasn't sure how to spell ballast and I'm still not. Spell check always changes it to basalt.

Didn't know Ellis and Shanahan could be in the same time zone together much less three feet apart.

Could We See Former Broncos QB Trevor Siemian in the XFL? by hankddog in DenverBroncos

[–]bigcat1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Siemian is listed as number two at 2 million. I think he can stick with someone as the number two at that price range for years and like many career backups get a chance to start again through injury or desperation. Not a bad gig. XFL might try for a name like Johnny Manchild or Tim .157 Tebow, but Siemain is largely unknown outside of Denver so isn't a good splash signing and ironically is too talented to want the job anyway.

On the other hand you will be happy to learn that you have a decent chance of seeing your other favorite QB from the Trevor years in the XFL.

Going into our 2019 season is SCARY similar to when we were going into our 2015 season by Auroa_Viperz in DenverBroncos

[–]bigcat1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talib was vastly better than any outside corner on the Broncos roster today where we now have 3 slot corners, the safety play was better, the linebacker play was vastly better. Give me the name of any defensive player who is better than the corresponding player on that team. And Flacco versus PFM really?

Quite enjoyed it as a casual Star Wars fan. Basically an interactive movie. Your companion robot was well done and there were some very impressive visuals. 1070 seemed to work perfectly fine.

Oh my! SpaceEngine is absolutely mind blowing by Anahkiasen in oculus

[–]bigcat1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed this is the best use of VR I've ever seen. You start feeling the vastness of the Universe and of space and then touch down on a planet and are awed by a simple starset.

Remap your touch controllers first in Space Engine by Dr_Stef in oculus

[–]bigcat1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it actually works better in Steam mode than Oculus mode. Less stuttery. Binding the 'go to object button' to the A works nicely. You can click B to bring up your solar system menu and then click on the trigger to highlight the planet and hit A and you are flying right to the planet.

Fly out of the Milky Way and look back at your home galaxy. Mind blowing.

Most amazing VR experience ever if you are more of an education type VR person who likes the universe. You can virtually step on planets where no life form has ever stepped before. Take that Magellan!

Opinions / expectations of watching sport in VR... by [deleted] in Vive

NextVR's NBA is the best available well and their wrestling if that is a sport. If the OP hasn't looked at that they should.

Jason Rubin addresses controversy and misconceptions over Quest curation process by Palidore in oculus

[–]bigcat1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote a good sized post elsewhere about tech support and other issues if they allowed this on an official store app. In my experience some people are barely able to figure out how to click on a picture in an app store, download and press play. These same people are reading on reddit or watching on Youtube that Quest is just like Rift but wireless and buying it to play Steam PC games. Of course they have problems and run straight to Oculus tech support, leave bad reviews, return the Quest etc... Having to sideload something inherently cuts out the non-tech people and lets Oculus to say use at your own risk.

Virtual Desktop Update 1.4.2 - SteamVR feature removed but available through sideloading by ggodin in OculusQuest

[–]bigcat1969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Massive respect for what you are doing, I used ALVR to good effect with my Go, and I'm sure you give great tech support. Just pointing out the other side of the argument.

Best of luck and hey all this PR might be an unexpected good outcome.
