Hi, I've been trying to connect my oculus to my PC using steam link. I keep getting the screen that says "Video not streaming." And on my PC, it says "The VRlink driver encountered a fatal error. ERROR: failed to create/reset encoder in videomfenc::SubmitFrame()" Then it gives me two options to either restart Steam VR or quit Steam VR. I think it might have something to do with my crappy PC which could've installed steam VR wrong, or that my PC isn't directly connected to the router. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas where I could fix this issue.

thanks :)

I was looking around but I noticed that no one has made a bioshock like game before I just seems to be the perfect game to make into vr like catching grenades mid air with telekinesis or setting a enemy a blaze

Hello,

Just got the PS VR2 and PS VR2 PC Adapter. I wanted to use it for Xbox Game Pass Microsoft Flight Sİmulator and YouTube Videos. Is it possible ?

Are there any non MR games (as my friends have quest 2s) that utilize true spatial representation of both the environment and other headsets/players for a true “lan” experience? Think spatial ops but no MR pass through due to the headset limitations of the 2…

I'm seriously asking myself whether I should just sell my quest 3 and get a valve Index instead. All in all, the quest 3 is amazing, however in terms of tracking and pc-link, this headset just sucks. No sugar coating, no nothing, it's just plain bad. So bad in fact, that I consider beatsaber on PC unplayable on faster levels (like 10 stars and above for those who know).

I know, the knuckles controllers are really heavy but at this point it's basically my only alternative.

My two questions are now:

1. Should I really sell my quest 3?

2. Should I get an Index? (Would rather get the beyond but atm I'm not willing to pay almost 2000€ for the whole setup)

I am running a 4070 mobile, i914900hx, 96gb ram, 2x 4TB Samsung 990 pro ssd, wifi 6E.

Just a quick heads up for anyone who finds similar - I started experienced stutter spikes when PCVR gaming a few days ago. Testing showed it was only happening only with VD, not with Airlink. Tried everything I could think of to resolve it with no luck then remembered I'd had a PTC update a few days ago. Left the PTC to downgrade back to V72 (Annoyngly, it factory reset the headset in doing so) but the issue was resolved instantly. Now I'm back to coming last in sim races butat least it's a smooth coming last!

What games not originally intended for VR have had a mod/update allowing it? So far I know of Elite Dangerous, Subnautica and outer wilds as being particularly good. Any other suggestions?

Hi guys i need some advice for vr gaming i never bought one before or even used one but i would love to play pc games on it and i was wondering if meta quest 2 (its the one ican afford right now) can connect to pc for steam games and all and if it can how do i set it up and does it relies on it own storage for gaming or does it uses pc storage I have i 5 4th gen Asus Rx580 Asus h81 motherboard

For one, I’ll just go on record that I was personally always more into the casual sort of game when it came to VR. Either something easygoing and sports-based mechanically, such as the inevitable Walkabout Mini masterpiece. Or something where you can just tune in to the music and synch physically with the game, like Beat Saber or Powerbeats. Essentially, something that still feels like a game and not The Gym VR, if that makes any sense. Just one of the reasons I never could quite get hooked on Les Mills, even though everyone seems to agree it’s great for what it’s made for.

On to the point, this winter I was looking for some new games to add to my log and it just happened that Fitness Fables was the freshest of the batch. There was another similar game I gave a short go earlier this year too called Shardfall, which was surface similar to this one - but having played FF over the last weekend (and last night), I can say that the similarity is pretty much just the surface design or overlay or what you call it. The feeling when you’re actually playing - as it often happens to me in VR - is considerably different in positive way.

First, Fitness Fables is much more arcade feeling in how it organizes its levels, as well as does travel between them. First, unlike in Sharfall, there’s different workout options for different biomes - skiing, pumpcar thing, etc. - and not just the… well, rather bland running & dodging objects that Shard has. Honestly, the latter is a cool feature but at some point starts feeling like a racing game with quick turns instead of a slower endurance sesh that you can pace more comfortably.

Next are the battles - I like both approaches but again, FF just seems more varied overall and less… how would I put it… feels less like a fighting game per se, and revolves more around particular phases of a workout you’re going through. Like say doing biceps while throwing stuff at the boss, then the forearms for breaking through his armor, etc. It’s… I think the word is more granulated in how it paces out individual workout types over time (hence the sense of good pacing). On the other hand, Shard has more minute full body moves like dodging, jumping, etc. Both make you sweat up pretty fast though, so I’ll give em both that.

To finish, I just have to say that this is a subjective, taste based take – and it’s totally fine if you disagree. I just personally clicked more with FF for all the aforementioned reasons, but mostly boiling down to the pacing and — and I might be just trippin - but the handpad controls just feel more responsive too, especially in exercises where you have to move your arms upwards. You can also adjust them much more precisely for the tennis games. 

So in summary – I’d say it’s a recommend for me if you like the casual, i.e. gamified type of VR workout that is considerable in scope and in my experience, pretty good right off from its release.

From what I understand, 3 Vive Tracker 3.0's (waist, feet) and a couple Base Station 2.0's is enough (my room's small and has good spots for em). A fourth tracker on the headset itself allows continuous calibration which sounds to me solves my headache of my current Slimes. (Drift + constant recalibration)

Is it possible/necessary to have 2 additional trackers on my hands/wrists? I'd like to be able to track them consistently above and behind head, as it feels like I lose them often whilst lounging or have an arm to the side. I'm currently just using the box quest 3 controllers.

Also, where should I get straps for all of these? There seems like to be a ton of brands.

Use case is vrchat ofc.

I’m looking for more saddo games w/ VR and peripheral support. I really enjoy stuff like Elite Dangerous, Powerwash simulator, Truck Simulator, Flight Simulator etc. I just want a decent driving game where I can potter about and follow the rules or like a farming sim in VR. I’ve seen the Taxi Life game and Bus simulator but from what I understand they don’t support VR and suckbum. Any recommendations are welcome.

Hi I have a valve index and one base station as I only sim drive. Now, I want to dip my toes into the world of vr games and see what’s out there. What’s the cheapest way for me to get controllers that’ll work with the index? I expect I’ll need another base station too..

HI Everyone, do you think it makes sense to buy a PSVR2 if you already have a quest 3 but do not own a PS5?

I've been on the hunt for an Animal Crossing in VR for AGES. And I think I have finally found the jackpot, its "Little Planet" on Meta Quest. I started playing last year, and tbh, it's been my new fav game. This game is like Animal Crossing but better. It's got all the things in animal crossing like crafting, collecting, decorating, building your own cozy space. The world just feels so immersive and calming, I can get completely lost for hours. It's seriously SOO cozy. It is a paid game but def worth it. I low-key think that this is the game that could define cozy VR for like a lot of people. And I'm asking if anyone else has played this game here.

Hello! I just got a third party link cable off Amazon for my quest 2, as I was using wireless steamvr before. The game ran fine, I just had some connection issues occasionally and wanted to see if using a physical cable would be more stable.

Though, after a needlessly complicated process I was finally able to load into Vrchat with my new cable, but for some reason it was very shaky and unstable, especially if I joined a world and became basically unplayable. I looked at my pc, and it didn’t seem to be lagging so I think it looked like a connection issue?

My cable is plugged into my fastest USB port, and my pc specs aren’t too bad, so it is possibly a driver issue? I don’t think it’s my pc underperforming, it worked fine before… any help is appreciated! Lemme know if u need clarification!

Hopefully this post is okay here. New to VR, found demeo and immediately hooked. The Demeo sub and discord are pretty quiet, would love to find some players that would be interested in meeting up for a game or two a week. Im in PST.
