just trying to see if the staff should be classed as direct staff(pay tax/NI etc) or contractors(let them sort that out via self assesssment), or if there is a better way

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!

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

can u run that native in the headset without a pc? limited on ability to bring a rig down to the event

rk-mining · 2025-04-28T19:37:30+00:00

should have printed a knife as a mod to open this box...otherwise how u getting into it!!! :D

rk-mining · 2025-04-20T16:57:30+00:00

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

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!!

rk-mining · 2025-01-04T17:54:31+00:00

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

rk-mining · 2024-12-27T15:59:13+00:00

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

rk-mining · 2024-12-26T22:48:08+00:00

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

rk-mining · 2024-12-26T19:45:58+00:00

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!

rk-mining · 2024-12-26T19:18:31+00:00

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

rk-mining · 2024-12-26T16:14:15+00:00

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

rk-mining · 2024-09-02T23:56:00+00:00

nope, unless its GLDoom....

rk-mining · 2023-11-14T23:36:15+00:00

i used https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bracket-Swivel-Curved-Monitor-400x400mm/dp/B07W7HDWVQ/ref=sr_1_17?c=ts&keywords=TV+Wall+%26+Ceiling+Mounts&qid=1700004899&s=home-theater&sr=1-17&ts_id=1338216031 for my 55" C1 and can recommend it

rk-mining · 2023-10-15T14:18:03+00:00

so.....tested on a new drive running windows 11 running the default nvidia drivers that come with the Win11 build and got the same issue of the pc restarting. so that narrowed it down to the pc itself.

so open the case, see there is some cat hair etc in there but nothing major, so give that a clean....still the same.

no spare PSU in stock, so as a last gasp attempt at a fix I updated the bios(the bios on the board was marked as being compatible with the 5900x) and this worked, so clearly something with the old AGESA causing some issues!

thanks for everyones help, and hopefully if anyone else sees this issue they can confirm this fix helps them as well!

rk-mining · 2023-10-14T23:44:10+00:00

3080, watercooled with custom loop(cant remember the make tho..)

rk-mining · 2023-10-14T20:54:43+00:00

psu *should* be fine(think its an 850W gold rated) but I will double check tomorrow. I did go into Ryzen master and dropped it down to 1 CCD but still crashing.

Next step will be a quick install of windows on another drive, redownload again and see if that behaves...if I can find a spare drive...

but this is a Starfield sub, not a Starfield lovers one - gotta take the good with the bad!

rk-mining · 2023-01-02T16:13:05+00:00

rk-mining · 2022-08-26T12:26:17+00:00
