It's on my list to get through, but I need to finish Red Matter 2 first and I'm just really busy at the moment.

Thank you!

Cute cat Duff; lucky she was found by you and taken in! I always appreciate a good pet story.

New kitten. Someone abandoned her in front of a gas station in a carrier with food. She's an awesome cat. Friendly, well behaved and gets along with all the other animals. I have no idea why someone would abandon her.

I realize this post is pretty old, but is anyone playing NMS ? I'd love to join up sometime. I just got back into it a couple of months ago.

VR Gaming / Half-Life 2 VR mod

The Half-Life 2 fan created VR mod released yesterday. I've only put 2 hours in so far, but it is glorious. It's like playing Half-Life 2 for the first time all over again.

VR Gaming / Re: Quest 2 Link Best Settings (Finally Better Than Rift S)

« Last post by Tbone on August 28, 2022, 01:40:10 pm »

Updated current settings:

Bitrate > Resolution > Supersampling > Refresh Rate

My settings for Nvidia 3080

OCULUS DEBUG TOOL

Distortion Curvature: Low

Encode Resolution Width: 3712

Encode Dynamic Bitrate: Disabled

Dynamic Bitrate Max: 0

Encode Bitrate (Mbps): 480

Dynamic Bitrate Offset (Mbps): 0

Link Sharpening: Enabled

Mobile ASW: Disabled

OCULUS DEVICE SETTINGS

Refresh Rate (90Hz) or (120hz)

Render Resolution: (3712x1872) 1.0x at 90hz or 1.2x at 120hz

OCULUS TRAY TOOLS

Super Sampling: 1.45 (I start there and adjust depending on intensity of the game using the Profiles). If you use Steam regularly instead, you can also super sample within Steam settings per game. I like to use Oculus Tray Tool's Visual HUD - Pixel Density and Performance to see how close I am to the Quest 2's actual resolution and how my performance is being affected.

VRPERFKIT

Google it. You need to manually put two files in the directory of each game you want to use this on. If you have a video card that supports it, you can get fixed foveated rendering and some sharpening. Currently my settings are:

upscaling

enabled: true

method: cas

renderScale: 0.95

sharpness: 0.9

radius: 0.6

fixedFoveated

enabled: true

innerRadius: 0.6

midRadius: 0.8

outerRadius: 1.0

Note that you don't have to do ALL of these things, but if you leave something out, you'll want to adjust elsewhere. For instance, if you aren't going to super sample and apply sharpening, then just crank the resolution scale up instead. You'll notice my resolution is at .9x scale, but that's simply to give me more room to super sample and save a little performance at the same time. Obviously if I cranked my resolution up to 1.7x then my super sampling would need to be completely different or be left out completely.

News and Announcements / Re: Quest Headsets Will No Longer Require Facebook Account

« Last post by Tbone on July 07, 2022, 03:17:21 pm »

Finally an update! Starting next month this will roll out. Meta is sending an email stating the following:

Quote

A Facebook account is no longer required to use Meta VR devices. Instead, youâ€™ll need to set up a Meta account, which lets you log into your VR devices and view and manage your purchased apps in one place. You can set up a Meta account using your email address or Facebook account, and as part of the process weâ€™ll migrate your existing VR information (including apps, achievements, and friends) to this account.

While you will still need a Meta account, you'll no longer be required to tie a social media presence to it. It will hopefully act as more of a traditional gaming/business account versus the more public and social-facing Facebook account.
