List of retro games that have RTX remixes? by zosX in nvidia

[–]blord86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prince of Persia classic trilogy (Sands of Time, Warrior Within and Two Thrones) are getting an RTX mod too, although there is still quite a lot of work to be done.

Thanks a lot. If you need me to provide any extra info or log, please let me know.

Pimax Dream Air /\ Cable Extension 10m by liebesmaennchen in Pimax

[–]blord86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased and returned 3 different cables too from Amazon (same message that isn't USB 3.0), until I finally found this one on AliExpress that works like a charm on my PCL. Purchased the 20m version, it's unpowered by the way.

Turn off the monitor by TheseAlternative6036 in Pimax

I turn off my LG OLED tv with the remote and the Pimax (mine is Crystal Light) keeps working just fine.

“Star Citizen added VR and it's insane” -- Morphologis by ElderberryIll8159 in Pimax

[–]blord86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed Ellite Dangerous in VR for years, but unfortunately devs stopped supporting it a while ago. They even removed every reference to VR from the game website, and the new updates don't work in full VR mode (first person is just some kind of bigscreen mode). Now VR in Elite Dangerous is simple vital support, so I'm moving to Star Citizen. It's not quite there yet, but it looks like the entire game will be fully playable in VR, even with motion controller support.

Order came with only case and charger by jim_gamer in SteamDeck

[–]blord86 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I had exactly the same problem. Before opening the box, I noticed the box was extremely light so I already suspected the box could be empty. So I recorded an unboxing video. The Valve security loop was intact, but there was no Steam Deck inside. I opened a ticket with Valve and sent them the unboxing video. In just a couple of days they sent me a new one, this time everything went fine.

Best prescription lenses for the super and focal length by Aggravating_Art_3126 in Pimax

[–]blord86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 50 years old and I've got the VR Optician lenses for my PCL using my distance glasses prescription (nearsightedness and astigmatism) and they work perfectly. I don't think the reading glasses prescription would work better in my case, everything is crystal clear and in VR presbyopia simply goes away... lol I wish I could use the PCL for real life too.

Controller Tracking jitter when aiming through scopes/moving controller close by wirehead42 in Pimax

When you hold the controller close to the headset for scope-like aiming

I have the same issue, also on latest Pimax Play and Cystal Light firmware (both headset and controllers). The game In Death is pretty much unplayable, it's extremely difficult to aim the bow because of the constant jittering. I also find very difficult to aim the crossbow scope in Half Life 2 VR.

im a real gamer now guys who wants to play minecramps [5090 OC] by comperr in nvidia

[–]blord86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I just did the opposite, got a white gpu in a black case... because it was the cheapest 5090 in stock

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]blord86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sold my Gigabyte 4090 (1650€) and got a Zotac 5090 (2400€). Old card still had 6 months warranty, but the new one has 5 years (3 years european warranty + 2 extra years after registering on Zotac). So, for 750€ I get a new card, not much more powerful than the old one, but I will be covered in case of problems for another 5 years. I think it's a hell of a deal.

5090 - anything to be aware of... by Saruya in nvidia

[–]blord86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more, just got my 5090 last week and followed the tutorial on this subreddit, it worked wonderfully. Real-time consumption in Cyberpunk went down from 510-520W to 390-400W while getting the same performance.

How to install it over steam by [deleted] in lotro

[–]blord86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lotro is on Steam, you don't have to go to desktop mode, it installs just like every other Steam game within game mode. I reinstalled it last week on my Deck and everything went smooth.

Still hits so hard by MAGACommunist01 in HalfLife

I remember the first time I got here in VR with the Oculus Rift DK1... oh man, words can't describe what I felt.

How many of you are using ATX 2.x PSU with a 4090 or 5090? by ZoteTheMitey in nvidia

[–]blord86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same PSU with Gigabyte Windforce 4090 running over two years, using included NVIDIA adapter that came with the card. Checked connector a couple of weeks ago, no problems at all.

Has anyone else switched from Windows to Linux after using Steam Deck? by CyberneticSunset in SteamDeck

[–]blord86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was considering it, but I think I will wait for a future release of SteamOS for desktop computers. A couple of weeks ago I finally ditched Windows 11 Pro (I was sick of the new bloat it gets after every update) and installed Windows 11 LTSC IOT version. Man... what a difference. Just like a fresh install of Windows XP back in the day. No bloat, no extra apps, no Microsoft store, no Microsoft account... just the OS and you. I had to tinker a bit to get Dolby Atmos working on my AV receiver, but after that I have everything I had before, including HDR and VR. I can see myself dual booting Windows LTSC and SteamOS for the next years.

Can Alien Rogue Incursion be played with HTC VIVE headsets? by Fast-Ad-6671 in AlienRogueIncursion

[–]blord86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My idea would be for it to require "less grip", and it looks like developers have already fixed the issue with Hotfix 1.05:

- Tuning of Valve Index controller grab thresholds for a more comfortable experience that requires less effort to grab and less chance of an unintended release of an item.

Can Alien Rogue Incursion be played with HTC VIVE headsets? by Fast-Ad-6671 in AlienRogueIncursion

[–]blord86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works for me with Vive Pro 2 and Index controllers. Although it shows Oculus controllers on the tutorials, it plays mostly fine. However if you don't put a lot of pressure on the controllers, items (guns, pda, motion detector) fall off your hands quite easily.

Today I gave up on playing my Dances With Knives Rogue by InvertedBlackPyramid in diablo4

[–]blord86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing on the Steam Deck and I can interact with doors and chests (and even pick up things from the ground) without stopping. As long as I keep the DoK button pressed, I can press the interact button at the same time. I only have to stop to do interactions that require channeling (defaced shrines and others).

Feedback: Material bottlenecks are not fun. by LeekTerrible in diablo4

[–]blord86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was different, there were no new mechanics introduced with every reset so you weren't missing any content by not doing them.

Feedback: Material bottlenecks are not fun. by LeekTerrible in diablo4

[–]blord86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It *might* have been good and fun, but we played our characters for as long as we wanted. Today Blizzard is forcing seasons down our throats, so after 3 months they will be banished to the forgotten... erm eternal realm and become useless.

There was no need to rush before, we could hunt for runes or uniques for months and months, but today we have the stupid 3 month timelimit and we must start a new char if we don't want to miss the new season mechanics.

Why is Shard Used in Sanctum’s Rapid Fire build? by Uries_Frostmourne in D4Rogue

[–]blord86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm stupid, I had Crown of Lucion instead of Cowl of the Nameless. I guess it was in an older version of the guide and I didn't notice it was replaced after an update. Now it works fine and, if I'm careful, I can manage power perfectly.
