Virtual Reality

PSA - Stay away from Project Cars, at least in it's current incarnation. I was playing before at medium with my 7970, and on the 970 I temporarily had it played okay with those settings in VR. I have the 1080 now and tried cranking up the settings and it turns into a total shutter fest. Supposedly the game is rendering two full frames separately and is terribly optimized for VR :/

Playing it on my 2560x1600 monitor at max settings and the game is gorgeous, they need to get their shit together and optimize for VR. For people looking for a racing fix Asseto Corsa is well optimized but you'd have to use revive to get it working on a Vive. The steam version doesn't support it though, you'd have to use the Oculus store version with Revive.

Are you sure about having to use the Oculus store for Asseto? According to these instructions on reddit it seems someone is saying you can use the Steam version:Step by Step Guide to Running Assetto Corsa With Revive Please : Vive

I'd like to know cause I'd like to get either AC or PC depending on what works best for VR.

I hadn't tried it. When I went looking for settings to fix project cars they had some basic instructions on what you needed to get Asseto Coursa going. I'll give these a try later this week, the other instructions I found made it sound like you had to purchase it through the Oculus store to get it going.

Was the HTC Vive also under 200$? Or just the Rift? The Rift I can believe, the Vive is probably more with the base stations and controllers, probably not much but definitely more.

Weren't they going around saying they were selling these things at cost? lol

Has anyone even gotten the Rift they have ordered?

I have nothing to add to this discussion except the fact that I've watch a porn trailer on a piece of shit Samsung Gear VR and my jaw dropped to the flood.
VR porn is the future.

I originally contacted Oculus on July 16 because my right screen stopped working. Here are a few highlights from their replies:

Hello Weston,
Thank you for contacting us today.
I see that you are having issues with your right screen.
How long did your Rift work for before it stopped working?
Does the right screen not work for anything?
Could you try re-seating the cables?

Hello Weston,
I'm assisting Brie while she is out of the office.
You can find detailed instructions for removing the faceplate here. Please let us know if reseating the cable in the headset connector does anything to correct the problem.

Hello Weston,
I was just going over your conversation with Brie and Elspeth.
I understand your right screen has stopped working.
It is good to know you have re-seated the cable connection on the headset.
When the issue first began last week, did you find the right screen just suddenly stopped working or did it begin cutting out and back on for a time first?
Have all your drivers been updated to the newest?
What are your system specifications?

Hi Weston,
Thank you for getting back to us.
I appreciate all of the information that you have given us.
Can I confirm that the HDMI cable is plugged into your dedicated graphics card?
Once that is confirmed we can look into this further for you.
I look forward to your response.

Hello Weston,
Sorry for the wait while your ticket was routed to me so that I could review it. The reason your ticket took a moment to be sent over to me is because I have the ability to further assist you.

So, I just saw that we could watch the Olympics in VR? I guess I better download the NBC app.

At least now we know for what shitty company she does her miserable cubicle work.

not sure how true it is, but the USA article said the Olympics VR content will only work on the Samsung VR and not the Oculus Rift. Its also on a one day delay.

It's not on my Rift, but it pulls up on my Samsung VR.

Not sure if this belongs here or not, but it is pretty cool regardless. Can use a video feed from a phone, tablet, console, PC, Drone, etc.
