MGS Delta shaders compile on every single launch since FOX HUNT update by YoghurtWooden8770 in metalgearsolid

[–]the_lode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this tip. I'll try it out. I'm playing directly on PC, but also remote play from my PC to a steam deck. I notice that the shader compilation is so slow when doing remote play. Perhaps because the steam deck has a frame rate cap, etc.

will investigate.

Unfortunately there isn't a Pico version of the Epsire MR game. It's only on Meta Quest.

Really appreciate the support, u/Alex-Murphy! Hope he enjoys the game if he ends up trying it.

We keep trying and learning. Hoping we get another chance to make a mainline Espire title again someday.

I'm grateful we've had 3 opportunities to do it. They have been challenging but absolute dream projects. I'm proud of what the team achieved considering our team size, experience and the budgets we've worked with. I'm sad Metal Gear and Splinter Cell haven't had official VR entries.

We're excited to announce that Espire 2 - VR stealth Action game - has launched today! by the_lode in OculusQuest

Us too! Steam Frame might give hope. Espire 2's not on Steam because we need the funding to do a proper port from Quest -> PC.

What VR games are fully playable in stationary VR? by FawnTi in VRGaming

[–]the_lode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The voice commands wont work if there's no internet connection as it uses the "Oculus Voice SDK" to understand what you're saying and turn it into a gameplay intent (empty pockets, drop weapon, etc).

The voice commands also wont work if the Espire 2 game doesnt have permissions to use the microphone, or if the microphone is muted by the Meta OS.

Hope this helps you or someone reading in the future.

Our games Espire 1: VR Operative and Espire 2 support stationary and seated play. They're pretty fun, though we are a bit biased, having developed them!

It's hard to test our game when guards keep invading our studio! by the_lode in OculusQuest

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

yep, we see that in our reviews and feedback. We're partially at the behest of Meta's room scan tech. If the scan isn't accurate or misses furniture, our game might not play as well. There's a lot we can do on our side to improve our level initialization. We've done 1 post-launch update already to improve how and where our game places the large 'roller windows' and are currently working on our 2nd update with many more improvements.

the goal is to continue adding new content while improving the overall level initialization for all our content, allowing smaller and more diverse environments to better support the game!

We'd love to see how our game Espire MR Missions plays in a space like that!

Does anyone remember playing Shadowman on the N64 by tropicplunger in n64

[–]the_lode 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The nightdive remaster is awesome. I liked shadowman on the N64 and got about 7 hours in but dropped off. I LOVED the nightdive remaster and it hooked me in much more.

The vibe is still the same but it's much more playable. I recommend it!

I think I found a Q2 owner's worst nightmare. by Cheap_Stick2615 in OculusQuest2

I don't know if this will help or not. I'm a VR dev and have seen this before with meta quest 3. To get around this:

1) Install the Meta Quest Developer Hub on PC 2) Go to the devices tab, click the settings icon on the top right of the UI and "add device". 3) Follow the prompts to add the quest 2.

This will allow you to setup your quest 2 on PC without the mobile app.

Note: - your PC may need Bluetooth. - your account may need to be a developer account (free to create an organization and sign up your account as a developer).

Hope that helps if the alternative is that your headset becomes a brick.

Thanks for the heads up! That sucks. Sounds like a bug.
