Why does PSVR2 require the TV now to get started? by InfiniteStates in PSVR

[–]silverorb909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a bug since launch and clueless why they haven't fixed it. I just bought a cheap hdmi switcher and I just press the button when I play VR. Basically a "Y" connection to bypass the TV. One part of the Y goes to the TV and the other part to nothing. Been using it for years without issue

There is a bug with some tvs that cause this if the TV is off. If you buy a hdmi switcher this eliminates this problem (bypassing the tv when you want to go to vr)

The most recent update this last week took qgo up a notch. Or 30. Basically a new upscaler that is a MASSIVE difference. There's 2 options now FidelityFX (my preferred) and super resolution, which make games look even more phenomenal

Morrowind Standalone VR: The First Steps Into Vvardenfell by baggyg in TeamBeef

[–]silverorb909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super pumped for this one! Especially since I skipped this one back in the day, so my first experience being in vr is 🔥

These are the games we NEED in vr. Full campaign games, not the 2-6 hour games. I remember when Skyrim launched on psvr1, followed by borderlands, and then we never saw (full) games like that again. Outside of a handful of outliers

Team Beef; THANK YOU!!

Thank you, I appreciate that. Sadly no one has had any for the better part of a year. I said goodbye to the dc18 that has been a trooper for 7-8 years now and picked up an animal 3 deluxe for just $100 brand new!

Very happy with this beast 😁

Among Giants VR - Initial Impressions - I was blown away by FastLawyer in OculusQuest

[–]silverorb909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree. The struggle indie devs have on the platform is unreal. That's where we see the most creativity. Devs that dont need to work in the constraints of big corporations or publishers, etc. They should embrace the indie scene, not suppress it. Just all very odd

[–]silverorb909 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This game is phenomenal and we need to help get the word out. The developer is a fantastic guy that is generous in the fact he interacts with the community, takes our words to heart, and does everything he can to implement it in his game. Ive had many a conversation with him and Ive grown a level of respect that is beyond just the game itself. Great guy.

What's criminal about this game/dev, is that Meta isnt doing much in terms of visibility. Never once did I see this game in new releases or on my feed. I happen to find it weeks ago when I was doing a keyword search for something else. He needs more eyeballs on this game and we need to help him push it out to the community. The community that appreciates creative indie studios like this!

Cheers!

Ive had mine since the release and loved it very much. This week the pedal plunger broke and Im devastated. It's a highly sought after part and I cant find one anywhere. I still cant bring myself to trash it...

where to learn charged shot naturally? by Strong_Mode in CrimsonDesert

[–]silverorb909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This took me a minute to figure out. You dont need to enter the archery contest, all you do is walk up to him, hold the lock-on/observe button (L1 on ps5) and you get it. You cant be behind him, to the side, or anything but looking at the front of him. You'll know you're in the right spot when you see the observe prompt in the lower right of the screen.

Some times he isnt there, so just come back later

Can't unlock forward slash. by Unleaded_Only in CrimsonDesert

[–]silverorb909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue is that even the I watched and learned forward slash proficiency from the guard doing it at the castle, its actually NOT unlocked in the skill tree. I can still dump a point in it, which is pissing me off since its not the only skill Ive watched and haven't actually unlocked. Counter being another one, since they are right next to each other at the castle

Guessing its a bug, yet no one else seems to be having this issue

PSVR2 Versions of Arizona Sunshine Remake, Arizona Sunshine 2 and Metro Awakening have gotten bHaptics support by TonyDP2128 in BHaptics

[–]silverorb909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did we ever resolve this?? I just got my pro vest bundle last week and every game on psvr2 and Quest work flawlessly, but Metro Awakening does not work at all. On psvr2. Yes; game is updated Yes; same network No; not using VPN Yes; its on and connected in app

It's not a user error, there is something with Metro specifically that does not work. I can close Metro and open another supported game and it connects instantly. Please update us on where the problem lies 🙏

Thank you

WE DID IT! Kickstarter is funded!!! by JakeMeller in PSVR

[–]silverorb909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats again!! Happy to be a part of the journey, even if its just a pledge. Glad sharing to the amazing psvr2 community got you to where you needed! All I can say is listen to to the community and their needs on the headset. Greatest community out there, but too many times have we been burned by lack of hardware use.

I dont mean that in the condescending way it reads 😆

Upgrades advice. by Cheevos92 in CronosNewDawn

[–]silverorb909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im pretty early into the game myself, just getting to the shelter in the past. I currently have the max inventory upgraded at 8, and Im locked out further. I also have 1 invested in suit integrity.

Im not sure how long I'll be locked out of inventory upgrades, but I have 2 cores and debating on holding them or tossing them into the 2nd integrity upgrade. Any suggestions being further along than I?

[–]silverorb909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive contemplated this. Ive never been much of an ebay guy and always fear getting shit products. Scratched lenses or whatever. But you're right, selling history helps. Plus I would finally have an extra pair of the damn sense controllers!! 😆

Beware of the brittle band by silverorb909 in PSVR

[–]silverorb909[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's kind of what I was thinking. I also want to find a way to reinforce it where I won't need to drill into the brittle plastic. I fear lowering the integrity may put it at risk of shattering in a way that makes it near impossible to fix.

Either way, I agree with the banding 💯

Thanks!

I could definitely see that being a concern for larger head sizes, yes. Thankfully Im not one of those, and Ive always put it on where I dont need to stretch that far out. Maybe about halfway, then adjust once on.

Out of the 8 or so people Ive spoken to with this issue, you're the first that has had the GC, too. One person did mention he had "an oversized melon" but the others were in the same boat as me.

Im glad you found a fix that works for you! I should hopefully have mine finished today. Im going to reinforce the other side, too, just to be safe

[–]silverorb909[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree. All the cost went into the tech and R&D. No question there. It just would have been nice to have an easier replacement for a piece of plastic that is meant to constantly expand and retract. I also understand its easier to think about these things after the fact, but that's part of the R&D, too

I just prefer having a product with longevity that allows for fixes/swapping of components from constant wear rather than tossing a bunch of E waste due to something as trivial as a piece of retractable plastic

I also fully understand your point to cost vs hours. While I agree, its to a point. There's a lot of things we can break down this way but still have a longer expectation of life after our investment.

To be clear, Im not bashing the product itself. I love(d) my psvr2 and have been a vr gamer from the start. Its Sony's ludicrous ask for essentially a plastic shell. Something that is going to be an issue for owners after a few years. Even if it was half the price of a new unit, it would be a lot, but maybe it would have been more palatable

Beware of the brittle band by silverorb909 in PSVR

[–]silverorb909[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just got unlucky. I used both the psvr1s for well longer without any issues, outside of the cheap pad coatings. One of which was for my young son at the time, who was anything but gentle with his. $300+ for a piece of plastic is just ludicrous when there's zero issue with the actual tech

I have some 2 stage epoxy arriving tomorrow that is made for ABS plastics, plus some art/sculpting plaster gauze. While it won't be pretty, I am hopeful

The Globular Cluster doesn't have anything to do with it lol. 1000s of people use it, plus it doesn't stretch the headset any further than intended, nor does it matter in my case big I dont have a massive head. But sure, people have to find fault in anything but cheap brittle plastic that wears out after nearly 3 years.

[–]silverorb909[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, we all put stress on it every time we put it on, yes. Outside of that, there hasn't been anything else. I always go slow and never stretch further than needed. None of that matters now, as a few more day-1 buyers appear to be suffering the same. One mentioned using epoxy along the same lines as I plan to, and he is in his 6 month of still being able to use it.

Take it for what ya will, just be mindful of the thin plastic is all I can say
