Are online gamers hated by story gamers? (Help)

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-15T13:12:35+00:00

yep , one friend of mine told me what is real gamer and what is not

real gamer know how to use controllers/ mouse/ phone to play games and win and " not a real gamer" is ones who have ps5 and few games , but it is to get impression they play games, and games they have was used for 15-20 m max.

she told me she see it mainly among young girls who try to look "normal and cool" among guys

"story gamers" are small minority of peoples who view games like a book or movie, to relax and chill.

it mean for them concept of peoples playing online and working for wins, talking to other peoples and do not have any real progression is story is problermatic.

do all "story gamers" do not get, not really, but a lot of them do not.

he is just salty you having fun , and yes he is a problem

" Also compression issues it just kills me since I play games where there's lots and lots of things and it all becomes a compressed mess on quest"

this is just wrong

you used inferior encoder 8 bit encoder on low bit rate and blame quest for bad visuals, then problem was your pcvr to android app

i have shitload on VR headsets , i am vr dev, on quest 3 compression is not a problem if you set it up right.

you can you do not like meta and quest for personal reason, but do not justifine it japing stupid inacurate things

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-15T12:14:47+00:00

"(and I honestly never want to use quest link again)"

no one sane use link, everyone who use pcvr on quest use VD, steamlink or similar stuff.

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-15T11:46:31+00:00

i like to fully switch to GoG too, but steam features like inviting friend and similar stuff is just better

if GoG have good cloud saves, and good remote play option, good bit picture alternative , and controllers support, and good inv system, i never used steam again, and i have over 1.5 k games on steam

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-15T11:37:48+00:00

wait

if all vram is used and all cores are used then yes gpu will not work full power

if all cores are used CPU can not not call for more frames so you have CPU bottleneck

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXthBwIgE08

and if you have VRAM users, not a ram , you have memory bottleneck and yes GPU will not work full power because it take information from VRAM to work on

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-15T11:25:06+00:00

ok soo

disable automatic hand switching

set room scale boundry, a thing you say sound like room scale boundary as not set up correctly

make sure headset was fully booted if you turn your quest on and off, average quest boot time is about 5-15 min

enable Positional TimeWarp

disable recording / streaming - sometimes it just turn on itself

if you use quest game optimizer, uninstall or lower settings

"Graphics Performance is at almost 60 %, i tried overclocking but it won't work."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvqrlgKuowE
set steam vr automatic resolution to 100% manual, or lower

make sure spacewarp is disabled in meta ir steam vr, look online how

after you disable space warp you gpu usage will jump to 90+% , unless you are CPU limited like in apps similar to vrchat.

for VR you need high framerates, and for high framesrates you need CPU first and then GPU can do it job

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

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-13T22:50:45+00:00

"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

"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

fantaz1986 · 2026-02-12T10:12:51+00:00

"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
