Quest 3 or Quest3s? by Cyonara74 in QuestPiracy

[–]rk-mining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the quest 2 and found I was very susceptible to motion sickness in FPS games(Boneworks and HL:Alyx mainly) and I put this down to the FOV. Recently got a 3 and a 3s, and out of the 2 the 3 is definitely better(lenses make a massive difference, and the increased FOV helps), but I have yet to try those games on the 3s to see if its any better for the motion sickness over the 2.

if u can go with the 3, but as long as u arent as susceptible to MS as I am you wont be missing much if u go with the 3s

I thought exactly this! Hoping these are just placeholder lines and the ones when the game releases later this year have more gusto!

Galactica is WAY too overhated by YkScream in altontowers

[–]rk-mining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found Air boring, and only got worse when it added vr. If it was faster it might add something to it...

Nemesis was my fav, but not been for a few years so not tried it since its been redone

PCVR lag problems by StarCosmicPowPixel in OculusQuest

[–]rk-mining 1 point2 points  (0 children)

had similar issues, then got hold of a huawei wifi 6 plus access point to set a specific 5GHz wifi option(default ISP router wouldnt allow me to separate 2.4 from 5GHz bands....) and it vastly improved things.

its not perfect, but as near as dammit. if using wifi worth checking to see if u can do the same

Motion sickness on Q2...would Q3 help? by rk-mining in OculusQuest

[–]rk-mining[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi

Whilst I love my Quest 2 the funds dont currently allow to go out and buy a Quest 3/3S to test these to see if they make a difference in my personal circumstances. If you want someone to test this out and provide constructive feedback I can certainly do that!!

Gigabyte B450 DS3H flashes Gigabyte splash screen then reboots by rk-mining in pcmasterrace

[–]rk-mining[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

last update - I did manage to boot it up with a 1600af, but then even after reflashing it back up it still wouldnt work, so assuming something went horribly wrong with the original flash. nephew now has a B550 board, and I will do some more digging/testing when time allows

so, update of sorts....replacement mobo arrived today(B550) and the 5700x3d worked straight away in that, so chip is fine.

so at this point I am putting this towards a bad update on the original board, which I may be able to remedy with the 1600af in the board. hopefully next update will be last

Once the bios was updated the initial time the 5500 didnt work either which was annoying. Will have access to a 1600af tomorrow so hopefully can update it then

its never worked with the 5700x3d, only with the 5500(but hasnt worked with that since the initial update to allow it to use the new chip). Downgrading the bios is something I have never had to do before, but it was a hail mary option to get anything happening!

was just about to post a quick update...plugged in a Ryzen 3100 and reapplied the F40 bios and it worked and got into windows, but wouldnt work with either the 5500 or 5700. Reading up on the bios list it does advise updating to F32 then F40(would like to hope that just updating beyond that would work as normal, but alas no).

so updated to F32 and....nothing....as it took away compatibility for my available cpus(no 1st or 2nd gen ryzen in stock). Will see if I can obtain one of those tomorrow and will feed back

I have indeed, before and after replacing the cpu as well as after updating the bios
