To boldly go... a subreddit for Star Trek: Bridge Crew (cross-play between PS4, Quest and PC, VR compatible, but not required)
Your mission: Take the USS Aegis and explore a largely uncharted sector of space known as The Trench, in hopes of locating a suitable new home world for the decimated Vulcan populace. The Klingon Empire is also active in the region, and their objective is a threat to the Federation’s plans.

Hey guys,
Me and my friends all got together yesterday excited to play Bridge Crew in VR for the first time - which is basically a dream game for us.
But unfortunately all we achieved was spending hours trying to get the game to work well enough for us to actually play it....but after ao many hours we had to accept defeat and go our separate ways. I was hoping some here might be able to help us solve the strange problems we kept running into.
So the problems we ran into:
We weren't able to recieve any sort of invites to play with each other, sending them was fine but no one would actually recieve any sort of invite to play. We set up ubisoft accounts and added each other as friends and was sending the invites via the in game friend menu. When that didn't work we would try to click on a friends name and select "join friends game". Now and again this would work for one of us, but mostly clicking this never worked.
We were able to get into a lobby together by having one friend create a public lobby and the rest of us clicking Quick Play. Occasionally we'd end up in someone else lobby but mostly we were put together.
Actually playing the game from this point onwards was a maddening experience. We were able to load into a ship together and start the mission, but every singe time we loaded a mission someone's terminal wouldn't work properly causing us to be unable to proceed. Problems included Helm controls not registering at all so being unable to move the ship. Problems with engineering when we needed the warp drive powered up - engineering would see the coils are ready but everyone's else's consoles would state warp core not powered, making travelling impossible. At one point tactical lost the ability to raise shields - they would press the shields up button and it would turn green but shields we never actually raised. Their console also stopped showing some of the torpedo options.
I know some of this sounds like user error, but I've played the game and decent amount in the past and took over everyone's VR headsets to confirm that everything was being pressed correctly....the game just wasn't allowing these function to work.
We tried this for hours - we quit the game/reset our headsets. Tried having different players as hosts, different players in different roles, different Missions, reloading Missions over and over etc but never once had a mission load that worked properly.
We have no idea where to go from here and will have to give up ever playing this game unless I can find a solution to these issues.
Has anyone else heard of or exprienced anything like this? Does the game just simply not work anymore?
number 1: being stuck at "swimming with sharks". even with multiplayer i can't manage to get through it.
2: dealing with the pink energy waves. the only method i understand is "recommend maximum shield power" because that's easy. shields up, max power. anything else and i might as well restart because Mr. Spork is being extremely illogical about what i should do. "diverting power away should protect them" okay, i do that and it still totals the ship. "any subsystems in use will be overloaded." Okay mr spork, does that mean i need to lower shields or leave them up, because BOTH end up being wrong.
3: why people still use standard phaser burst outside of rp-focused crews when the beam-swap technique is so much better, and why the Ent D's phasers aren't just a super powerful beam mode.
4: how ensign rao graduated the academy when he is the worst pilot in all of starfleet. slamming into everything, INSISTING on moving forwards when charging warp coils instead of just turning, and getting terrified of a tiny little rock and having to either turn all the way around the other way, or just not turning at all.
Hey,
I kust wondered if it was possible to crossplay between PSVR1 and Quest headsets?
2 of my friends have this game on PSVR1 and me and another friend have it on quest 3 - we are desperate to play it together....so I'm really hoping this is possible!
Any head movement renders choppy and makes the game unplayable. Only on this game, no others.
According to steam VR performance metrics i'm all green and not dropping any frames. According to virtual desktop, same, consistent locked at 90fps, no dips, low latency. No obvious hardware bottleneck, even setting render scale to 20% yields no change in performance. Used to work fine on my OG vive.

-Please help. My friends want to play.
Me and a mate have just started playing Star Trek: Bridge Crew again on PSVR1, and having not played for several months, we are once again immersed and enthralled!
It sucks that our campaign progress etc. seems to have disappeared, but we're incredibly thankful that we can still play together!
ST:BC is my all time favourite VR game, and I have put many hundreds of hours into it.
I feel that Ubisoft/Red Storm are really missing a trick here! At it's peak Bridge Crew was very popular, even more so once they added the flat mode, and ported it to Quest. In my opinion it could very easily be popular on PSVR2. I would buy it all over again as is, but imagine how awesome it would be for the original fans of the game if they could gradually add new content even in small amounts. My initial suggestions would be;
A new Ship - perhaps 'Voyager'. A new enemy - perhaps Ferrengi? A couple of new dynamic mission types.
Hell, if they did release with the above, and the re-release was successful, they could probably even release a new 5 mission campaign, and maybe even PVP !...
Finally, I would hope to see a few improvements to the game as it currently is.
Ideally they would add a new voice recognition solution to replace Watson. Single player with voice commands was almost as awesome as the multiplayer!
Improvements to Helm AI. It needs to have the ability to navigate successfully around asteroids/hazards (!), and successfully track and follow enemy ships.
I genuinely think that Star Trek: Bridge Crew could be equally as successful on PSVR2 as it was on PSVR1!
What do you guys think? Would you buy it?
Is there anything else we can do to Make it So?
I'm online & looking to play/beat episode 4 of the Aegis storyline. I cannot beat this mission with AI. My steam username is smithncc1987.
I played on PS4 years ago. I have a meta quest now? Are there people still playing? Does it still even work? I just want to know before I purchase the game.
Assuming I'm "trained" at all stations and more or less competent, what advice would you give? I just want to come in and have fun, don't really care what role I play, etc. Is there some etiquette etc I would benefit from knowing? Thanks in advance!
I've seen screenshots from points of view that are not in one of the four playable chairs, so there must be a way to free walk or at least free camera in VR. I also stumbled upon a mod file for the game that promised just that, but I can't make it to work. All I want is to move away from my chair without the annoying black screen. How can I do that?
(I'm running the Meta/Oculus version for PC)
Need 2.
I assume most people here are into Star Trek and into VR. Maybe this list could be of interest:

anyone know what the update the game just had was about? (pc)
Only recently picked up a full vr set up for my PS4, mostly for beat saber, however being a bit of a trek fan I thought why not, so I took the plunge. £25 of my hard earned pounds later I realised the gravity of my mistake when I came upon the dreaded Ubisoft account signup page.....a little annoying but I continued onward anyway, then the terms and conditions page....and this really started to irk me. It keeps saying that I have to accept the terms and conditions, even though I accepted the blinking terms and conditions already!!!! After about 20 attempts at doing this I then simply turned the damned thing off in disgust.
I will likely be contacting playstation store for charging me £25 for a game that no longer works and should have been removed from the store before now.
I said to my partner - this is exactly why game studios are imploding right now for BS like this. Disappointed and disgusted doesn't even cut it right now.
I finally jumped into PCVR thanks to Sony's price drop and adapter. I bought the game, but I've had trouble making it through the tutorial because one of the basic controls didn't seem to be mapped to the PSVR controllers properly.
Has anyone been able to play this successfully on PSVR2?
This is the only game I've had an issue with so far and I'd love to be able to play with you all.

Update: found some amazing people to play with and honestly it was an amazing experience to meet some of the die hard fans of this game and have them welcome me in
I just got this game and play on Psvr and haven’t managed to find a single multiplayer lobby or player yet.
Would love to give this a whirl with actual human players.

Any players or groups out there to join?

Calling upon all the bridgecrew die hards. As the tilte says anyone online? It has been about a year and I feel like playing it again for some hours.
The game constantly crashes and you can’t save your progress. You essentially have to complete all campaign and ongoing voyages missions in one sitting. But I can’t even get past mission 4 without the game crashing and having to start over.
Update: I was able to knock out the Live Long and Prosper trophy (along with every other trophy I needed except the Kobiyashi Maru) in a single 3 hour session with a couple of awesome people I met on the Discord.
We got through the campaign (2% hull integrity when we beat Mission 5) and did all of the ongoing missions except Defend. After losing three Defends, my crew had to go, but I was able to finish it solo for the trophy. The game crashed on my next mission.
Crucially, I was not the host or the captain for any of the missions except the final Defend. I think there’s an issue that causes PS hosted games to crash that is causing the problem. My crewmate was host and playing on Steam.
Anyone looking to get this game should be aware that earning platinum may technically still be possible, but will require a lot of luck insofar as game stability and you can’t save progress, so you’ll need at least one 3 hour+ gaming session for the Live Long and Prosper, Qapla’!, and Because You Are My Friend trophies.
Anyone about?

Seen alot of negative reviews. It's not working and keeps disconnecting wondering if these issues have been fixed?
Does the game have hand tracking if so does it work when running game through steam on pc aswell?
Does quest 3 have crossplay with PlayStation?
