Does it matter if I buy the Oculus version or the Steam version of a game if I want to use Link?
that aint a pc vr discord lmao
Maybe consider trying Beat Saber using Virtual Desktop? may surprise you how well it works and no wires is always a good thing.
Two direct advantages to getting the Oculus version: first off, if an Oculus version has cross-buy, you get the Quest version for free. Second, the Oculus version could make use of special features of the SDK, such as Fixed Foveated Rendering or render layers (which allow for full screen resolution for text or whatever needs it, while the rest of the game is rendered normally).Does it matter if I buy the Oculus version or the Steam version of a game if I want to use Link?

The advantage to the Steam version is if you get a non-Oculus headset later you don't have to run the app through an Oculus emulation layer.
Agreed. I played through the beginning of Episode II last night and black levels really make the entire reveal less dramatic. Also, the light sabers don't "pop" as much with the lower contrast.Just tried Vader Immortal. The grey wash over everything really ruins the atmosphere. Hopefully its something I can learn to live with.
They obviously tuned the colors closely for the Quest 1, hopefully they patch the games for Quest 2.Just tried Vader Immortal. The grey wash over everything really ruins the atmosphere. Hopefully its something I can learn to live with.
Thanks! Was the username 🦧🤷♂️😆Make sure your PC and Quest are on the same network. Also make sure your Oculus username is typed in exactly correct in the desktop app.
Virtual Desktop works best if your PC is hardwired to your router and the Quest is using a 5Ghz wifi on your router. It's possible you have a firewall setting on your PC that's blocking VD but I can't help you with that.
I think I'm going to buy the elite strap and hope I can find the battery one before the return period ends.
That would be awesome and greatly appreciated!Anyone want a free copy of 2MD: VR Football Unleashed (Quest native and crossbuy?)
I'll post some free codes if y'all promise to post how it performs on Quest 2 :)
I'm stuck at the hospital this week and I've still not even had the opportunity to open the dev kit.
Great, i thought i had 5 ghz wifi but apparently i don't... i activated it, didn't work, i deactivated the 2.4Ghz one just to be sure (cause it detects this one fine), and now it doesn't detect any wifi at all!
Hopefully my ISP can resolve the issue, i'll call them tomorrow morning.... I would be angry if i have to buy something else to be able to play anywhere without any cables
Interesting, I enjoyed Superhot somewhat on PSVR but not as much as many around here. The roomscale freedom is certainly a game changer overall (and the controller upgrade from Moves 🤣)I downloaded the demo for Superhot on Quest so I can check out the difference.Got the elite strap with the battery and no regrets at all. The standard strap is garbage.
Late to the party as hell but Superhot is amazing. All I had before this is PSVR and it's so freeing to be able to move around.
Do you have a laptop or PC that you can connect to your router with an ethernet cable so you can get into the router interface?

Do you just have to make another account on the quest to do that? I'm going to be in the same boat tonight when I pick up virtual desktop having already linked an existing facebook and new oculus account. Is the sideloaded desktop VR the only app installed on that account and it still shows up on your main one?I think i just found a workaround. You can have a developer account attached to your main account. They basically work in tandem. about to try it now.
edit: CRISIS ADVERTED!

I believe you, so far the freedom with this headset is mind blowing on its ownSuper hot on PSVR is a good experience.
super hot on the quest is a mind blowing experience.
yup. The single camera on psvr is quite limiting on super hot. and when it loses tracking because you look around it hurts the immersion.I believe you, so far the freedom with this headset is mind blowing on its own
As long as FB gets the account locking under control, these will be a giant hit this holiday. The PS5/XSX are both expensive and hard to find, so the Switch and Quest 2 will get lots of attention.One thing I'm realizing is Oculus shipped a BUTTLOAD of these. They havent sold out, one guy talking about 300 in his store, etc.
FB aint playin about world domination i guess.

For sure Ill try it
New VR user here, so far this whole thing is blowing my mind :o
games over VD are quite blurry in comparison to their native apps (Then again, my rig is on the low side with a 1060 so that plus streaming compression may harm the experience).

Grabbed one. Thanks! Will tell you how it went when I get the chance to try it later.[Hidden content]
Remember, you and anyone else who redeems are honor bound to tell me how it goes. ;p
Thank you! I definitely will let you know![Hidden content]

text looks WAY more clean/clear for more than the quest 1 in general.Anyone finding that text and menu navigation in general is more blurry? I can't tell if it's the foveated rendering, but something just seems "off" and I can't put my finger on it. It's not the IPD or strap adjustments I don't think cause I have experience setting that up. I have a Quest 1 and it's seems sharper? I'm trying to dig deeper to see what the issue could be for me. Maybe it's just how the LCD panels are compared to the OLED?

VD's video quality is fantastic for me at 150Mbps with a 3080I tried playing the lab through VD and my experience was also that the lack of input lag was very impressive, but it looked very blurry. I am on a 970 so that is even lower, so I think it is just the game outputting in a lower resolution to make sure the framerate is fine?
Knock on wood, it seems like I've finally got an approved Facebook account. My enthusiasm went into the dumpster the last couple days, but I hope it's still active tomorrow and I can finally see what this thing is capable of.
really tho ?
