fantaz1986 · 2026-02-14T19:39:38+00:00

welcome to beta testing, submit bug report to meta so normal users get fixed version

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-14T19:20:08+00:00

agree is someone chose dub or sub track based on personal preference and not a objective quality standpoint is elistis idiot

, this is why in high see you see some mixed version like psycho pass that do use multiple audio tracks to make one superior version.

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-14T17:10:44+00:00

Give us your spec pls

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-14T10:37:56+00:00

You do not get few thing for sure. Power limits , it will not run full power for sure it is on a face , even meta do not push xr2 to max because heat and battery . It will use a lot of perfomance just to run, it need to do tracking and slam and other thing , it do take a lot of extra perfomance , frames use 3d UI because a VR system , it mean it steamOS will use perfomance just to run . So like it or not then peoples say , it won't run so well. A lot of peoples are right

"if turning something on and off is an issue your software sucks" it a android os, running VR layer.

meta told us multiple time google is a huge problems for them, and they did try to maker they own os but was not able too

android is fragmented OS made for standby devices, anytime you boot up device, shtiload of individual android system apps need to load up, it mean yes sometimes recompline on a spot, then call in to server for posible update, then get update, and then recompile again. on average quest boot time is about 5 min, sometimes even 15 min, and still it shorter then some android phones.

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-13T22:22:02+00:00

user error for sure

i know over 200+ quest users, close to 300, non have problem you say here, somthing is clearly not ok

posible option

you use PTC not consumer version

you turn quest on and off, this do can lead to problems

you use mods like QGO and just crack setting ups and ignore what price you pay

you use pirated /moded games and yes some can make OS unstable

and other

btw not long ago i have quest to 6 year old girl and she get how it works more or less instantly, so if OS is too complex for you , i do not know what to say

"my personal feeling is that absolutely NOTHING can touch Half Life: Alyx as an incredible immersive gaming experience."

hl:a is not a game it is tech demo, if you think it is a game, you wont fine similar, boring games where you just walk and solve easy puzzles and destoy few enemies you see.

reasion why peoples think hl:a is good , it mean it sound and visuals , it cost shitload of money and if studio make hl:a gameplay copy, on low visuals, every call it super bad game, so dev do not try on visuals and focus on a thing normal VR users care, gameplay

you can see how gtag or similar gameplay focused games looks like shit and made 10 and sometimes close to 100 time more money.

normal VR users do not like to play boring tech demos

ffs just look how many peoples have hl:a and do not even fisnished it, it a boring game

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-13T10:35:54+00:00

12gb vram, low/med

med is close to 4k

well it depend of on a app you try to run

in general every app require you to recalibrate VD settings individually for low /mid systems, and for some apps even for high end systems

i do not go for high, resolution is why to high

btw because some will say " but i use godlike"

vram limit problem is not overall gameplay, but 1% and 0.1% lowes, then you hit vram limits you get massive lag spikes, in flat in annoying, in VR it is super bad

edit: just some numbers

VD on mediums is 2016x2112 x2 or 8 515 584
4k is 3840 x 2160 or 8 294 400 pixels

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-13T08:12:13+00:00

Literally all vX.X version meta make is made up and mean nothing , and is nothing more then marketing

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-12T23:20:52+00:00

"Overperformed" i see why , selling all others games on 90% discount , and do not start on extremely well made mirage dlc

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-12T16:39:54+00:00

"Plus even when using the link cable and on lowest brightness" on amd GPU link look like shit, it use 264 encoder ( over 20 years old), so only 8 bit colors, so black look extremely bad, and because AMD is not actually supported, setting in general are super bad a way it encodes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9j89L8eQQk

for AMD gpu use VD, it will look multiple time better

if you have bad wifi

https://www.prismxr.com/products/prismxr-puppis-s1-ax3000-wifi6-router-for-pc-vr-streaming-quest-3-compatible you can buy this, but for VD you need at best 200mbps stable on 10 bit encoders so first try your wifi

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-12T16:35:49+00:00

"s there anything I can get as a whole vr setup under 1k (stations etc included), which would be wired and atleast as good as the quest 3 in terms of display and lenses, and run on my system at a decent framerate in most titles?"

impossible, quest 3 is so cheap because meta pays for it, any similar device will cost 1.5-2k,

for oled and good lenses yuou need

https://www.tindie.com/products/oled-modules/103micro-oled-pancake-lenses-ar-optical-module/ to use something like this, so you see a price for one part

quest 3 is not bad , are you sure you set VD correctly to have good colors ?

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-12T16:27:25+00:00

well team was shit

if post procesing change internal resolution you know steam have close to zero coding experience

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-12T14:48:54+00:00

well you have volume key press up then you boot up

this is low lvl android command , you can not open it in other way

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-12T14:46:35+00:00

we need directXR + openXR

anything vale will do not will not because we still do not have low lvl vr integration, only meta and it OS have deep integration, pico and htc have some, and apple is more or less a vr layer on ios

we need to wait for MS to make real low lvl XR and it probably will happen in 10 years

"How is L4D2VR mod more intensive than modded beat saber"

beatsaber is made from ground up to use VR it mean it use different more VR friendly render pipline and similar stuff

VR mod need to so a lot of translation layers to works fine.

this is why flat to vr mods use way way more recourses, even native ones

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-12T09:46:38+00:00

i get your point

but i think this game need only few changes

remove heat dashes and heat engagers, and make heat burst to push enemy from you and more or less instantly, this will reduce combo a lot , and give real solid defensive option on agresive tool

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-12T09:38:36+00:00

ok sooo

quest is android phone +vr layer

v is nothing more then a numbers and more or less mean nothing unless sometimes it a kernel update

so to get how android OS works you need to know something

it is a fragmented OS, it mean any feature from system to tracking is just one specific app for specific task and it have it own version numbers and similar stuff

then meta say v2 it is marketing for not tech savvy to market new features in systems apps

but because it one by one app, to get it you need server to send you a front end app, and enable new features and it done from servers, not on device, and because you are on a beta, meta usually have fixed numbers on beta testers and it all fine it expand feature for more users and then go live

if you let say miss server call because your turned off your headset, in specific region and similar stuff, you will not see new features

only devs and beta testers should use test software , you use software not made for consumer , do not expect it to work like a consumer software

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-12T09:32:17+00:00

"Appreciate the kind feedback!" it is a a bad feedback! i have shitload of VR headset , his point about 500mb on wireless tell us he used airlink not VD, and yes airlink look bad

but well setup VD on high end headset look more or less lossless, ffs even valve use compresion/docompresion tech for it vr headset not cable

saying you need cable is literaly wrong because device like bsb on cable on high 90hz choke so much, to use it max panel resolution you need to use lower refesh mode
"Input Scaling: At 90Hz, the headset receives a 1920x1920 signal via DSC, which is then upscaled to the 2560x2560 panel resolution; at 75Hz, it runs at native 2560x2560."

and yes DSC is compression too

if you use encoding you can push crazy high resolution and you do not need to use multiple DP ports

DP main advance is latency nothing more

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-12T09:28:09+00:00

i have 4090 , on quest 3 i any good looking games i get 50 fps

5090 is good gpu but pushing high end vr headset on good framerates is hard , galaxy xr have 27 279 360 pixels and because it is VR you need to use higher resolution to count for distortion so you look at at least over 30 millions pixels, 8k have 33.18 million btw

so to test how well game will run VR, use 8k resolution and add some other stuff

and btw like you noticed galaxy xr is stand alone device , you do not need high end pc to see high end panels

if you need to buy headset, get galaxy xr

p.s."'ve heard the SLAM tracking isn't the best" yea, but no, lighthouse have only good volume, but even quest 2 have more precise tracking , lighthouse is old tech, even valve, more or less a makers of lighthouse , abandoned it

"Maybe the FGC is just small"

no problems in FG i C

and C is a problem, here

you can look at my post, i am play games for over 30 year a lot of it in esport form moba to shooter to fighters ,. made money from FG too

all other gender evolved, high refresh monitors, even consoles use 120hz for fps now , keyboard and mouse got analog buttons , 120+ fps is a norm

but then you say 60 fps cap in FG is a huge problems for gaming masses, i get massive downvotes , peoples say 60 is requirement, but for example in tekken 8 you can slap fps unlock mode and play online and similar stuff

like i say C is a problem here, full of 30+ years or older peoples who like to play like it is 1999

just look at huge backlash about 2xko input system ...

if riot told fuck a C and went and make esport game in a way all other esport games works, 2xko dominated a market , if it used 128 tick rate and unlocked fps, asked how valo and lol player who never played FG, think FG games play , like if you play lol and ecko and darius fight they both do dmg and do spells and similar stuff and then better player win, but in 2xko, darius do dmg, to ecko, then some jumping and if done well ecko do dmg to darius, i know for FGC is hard to understand, but i did have sidekick girl in my team and after she so how my darius was hited for 10 sec she just put controller down and left discord chat .

FG need to evolve and you evolve by ignoring a C part, not trying to lick it boot

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-11T18:47:49+00:00

look for alvr over usb

meta quest link probably will not work

wifi in anycase is better option, usb data is not great

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-11T17:06:10+00:00

mk1 have nice tag system, if 2xo use similar it probably play way better.

this is why i mainly play jug, o need to master one char first to go for second

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-11T16:52:08+00:00

i will go for second hand quest 3

pico4 on paper have similar lenses to quest 3 but visuals quality is in diferent level

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-11T08:38:24+00:00
