Steam Frame thread! Did you get yours already anon? Playing something cool?
I exited from the wait list. I'll wait a few years while you beta test instead.
>>748893809I'm having a BLAST!
>>748893809I am waitlisted.My new GPU I bought instead of the Steam Frame is pretty sweet, tho.Too bad I'd only get the most use out of it by playing games with a Steam Frame....
>>748893809Waitlist is a nice place to sit until either:>Pimax releases Linux support or open source drivers get there first>BSB gets open source SLAM tracking>Some other company releases a competent Linux headset with all the bells and whistles
>>748893809>Did you get yours already anon?yes>Playing something cool?i tried iracing and it's terrifying
I got one to upgrade my index. I'm surprised the tracking works just as well without the base stations, but I'm disappointed the dongle only works on SteamOS. Didn't work on CachyOS. But it can play anything standalone anyway, so it's fine I guess. Right now, I'm looking for a decent way to integrate my treadmill with a game, so I can hike through virtual nature or something.
Still stuck in reservation hell.I'm starting to think I may be there forever.At least give me a fucking queue number so I have a general idea of when this email is coming, assholes.
I don't think it has enough games of interest to justify the experience.
Got the reservation e-mail this morning, lads. How long does it take before they let me buy the thing?
>>748895162Some people who got moved over to the reservation queue got to purchase a unit right away, others have had to wait.Its very odd, almost like they're randomizing your position within the reservation queue an additional time, after moving you into it.
>>748894539>and it's terrifyingin a good or bad way?>>748895067wish you good luck anon>>748895137the VR scene might be at it's best right now. Tons of flat games being moded into VR in ways that make them feel almost native>>748895162I got into the reservation on the 17th, was allowed to purchase on the 23th, and got it here delivered yesterday. So 2 weeks from reservation until getting it
>>748895162I got my reservation day one, and i still don't got it. So don't expect yours any fucking time soon.
>>748895256well that sounds fucking stupid
not using a steam frame but this Multiverse VR hub is fucking great, played banjo-kazooie in mostly first-person and now i'm playing some SRB2.part of me dies when a VR dev focuses on 'comfort' and all that, whip my camera around and treat me like a bodiless observer WHENEVER YOU WANT. I find "oooo the player needs to be aware of their hands" and "we can't move the camera around without the player doing the moving!" shit to be so much less immersive than just doing whatever the fuck you want with the medium regardless of my mind-body connection
>>748895256The entire thing has to be random. I barely squeaked in on the sign up period and got put on the reg list, then my frame was one of the first batch they shipped out. Meanwhile of my two friends who signed up immediately that made it onto reg, one got shipped half a week after mine, and the other is still waiting to buy
>>748893809Got put on the reservation list Monday. Gotta wait for the payment email now.Looking forward to finally playing Alyx.
>>748893809>200 listings on Ebay alone for Steam Frames, some people selling multipleWhatever happened to those anti scalping measures?
>>748895918jewish clown world finds a way
I got mine yesterday. I made plans with a girl to hang out tonight but I think I'm going to ghost her to get drunk and play stupid shit in VR
got this 2 days ago, so I'm at 24 hours left...Do I buy it?
>Oh shit someone made a tool to play Quest games on Frame>Tool taken downGod damn it! I wish Valve would just let me plop APKs on the thing like I can with non-steam games on the Deck! Instead I have to jump through some extra developer tools and external software?Also I finally finished my pirated non-cucked version of Superhot VR! Gonna try to 100% HL:A's achievements.
>>748895331flat games?
Did anyone manage to fix the steam link streaming?
>>748896719Some guy managed to archive the repohttps://archive.org/details/quest-2-frame-archive
>>748895067Reserve list is the actual waitlist'waitlist' is the 'you lost, buy something else' listpeople on the waitlist are never going to see a Steam Frame
>>748895918There's no guarantee those are all legit. And given that realistically at least 5000 Frames were delivered already I'd say these numbers are pretty good. Imagine how much worse it'd be if Valve didn't implement the raffles.
>>748897043Sweeeeet.
Why buy the frame if the quest 3 is so much cheaper
ick on frame?
>>748897297>Imagine how much worse it'd be if Valve didn't implement the raffles.I'm going to have to respond with a "nah, I'd win". The current system just seems to add more bureaucratic delay to everything and gives equal priority to all scalpers.In the previous system you at least had a chance if you didn't live in subhuman scalper central and really spamclicked your way through.
>>748897432Quest 3 is 'cheap' because they collect data about EVERYTHING they legally (and semi-/barely legally) are allowed to which they sellYou are the product, not the headset
>>748897432Better and more open ecosystem. nuff said.
>>748897459Here you go >>748885191
>>748897553>>748897586You don't have to use Facebook to use steam link, virtual desktop, or modded games so what data shit are you even talking about
>>748897586Quest 3 is same specs as the frame except slightly worse SoC but we aren't using our headset as a phone.
>>748897553i literally can not give less of a shit if some chinese faggot wants to buy a recording of me jacking off
>>748897713This. 'ick on 'eckers already did that for free.
>>748897469>spamclicked your way throughAnon, do you really think you can beat bots at that game?
>>748897553your monitor sells your datayour phone sells your datacameras in the grocery store sell your datayour web browser sells your datayour email sells your datayour not that important no one cares
>>748897432Quest 3 runs locked down poodroid, so interacting with it means accepting every poodroid change pushed by Meta and using special poodroid compatibility tools for PCVR maintained by single trannies and furries who are guaranteed to ack themselves.The Frame runs Linux, which means you can change everything about the headset, even getting it to brick itself or run minimal Steam software. Since it can use all Linux tools, you can interact with PCVR using tools maintained by entire teams of trannies and furries of whom only 42% will ack themselves.
>>748897854I have a Steam controller, I do not have a Steam Frame.
chickened out, didn't feel right with the warranty at that price and reviewers were saying the same nitpicks which I didn't wantplus a few headsets started bootlooping and needed a support ticket, one guy doing a live unboxing was missing the headsetsome saying build quality on some plastic parts felt a little cheap no clear info who the currier would be being an early adopter at that price point waiting for features is not for me, I really was excited for it and thought it was good purchase due to ram prices but the lottery system made me feel like I was pressured into making a decision some cool stuff in the works though which is a shame to miss out on
>>748896859non-VR games. Stuff like Max Payne 2 or Titanfall 2
>>748898096>one guy doing a live unboxing was missing the headsethe definitely got it taken as reparayshuns at some point in the delivery process.
>>748897163The funny thing is that they bumped a couple thousand people from waitlist to reserve list in the last couple days. While they've been sending out the absolute fewest order emails per day yet.
>>748895256>Some people who got moved over to the reservation queue got to purchase a unit right away>source: my anus>>748896562If you want it you should send it through. A couple people that waited until the third day but still had time left according to the site got denied and had to email support to just get put back in the reserve list. Plus maybe your bank blocks the transaction for fraud and you have to spend an hour or three telling them to stop fucking with your money.
I didn't know it was for sale already, gonna be a comfy winter for me.
>>748898694You're not getting one in time for winter if you didn't already get on the reserve list. Not trying to be a doomer faggot just being realistic.
>>748898694
Every year I think about maybe getting into VR and every year I don't.Really thought it might be this year.Oh well. Went on a nice vacation instead.
I just cancelled my reservation for the controller and the frame. I give up on these lotteries for overpriced hardware, lads. At least we still have ff7 part 3 and arma 4 to look forward to. I think I might have to go... outside again!
>>748898694LolGo look for a different headset, you will never get a Steam Frame.
>>748898063there were, presumably, more steam controllers made than frames>>748897713then buy the quest
>>748893809Got mine about a week ago. It's my first ever VR headset and I have been wanking off like fucking crazy to VR JAV, Anthro Heat, and Koikatsu. I am going to actually try to play Half Life Alyx starting tomorrow though I swear.
>>748898959What stopped you? For me in 2016 I thought it was a cool novelty but not worth 700 bucks to try and I was short on cash.When the Index came out I got interested again but again the 1k pricetag again stopped me on top of being really addicted to some other game franchise.When I heard tales of the Quest 2 being cheap as fuck 200 bucks machine during covid I really wanted to try it but it was non negotiable since I deleted all my facebook accounts and it was a hard requirement.It was only around late 2022 when I did a big PC upgrade that I finally though it might time to look for VR headset that's been nudging me in the back of my mind for the past few years. I got a 300 bucks chinese one and I got hooked instantly.I think I'm around 2k deep into VR now, which isn't a ton but way higher than I thought I'd spend on. No regrets though.
>>748899192I just keep waiting for that must play game that hooks me.I can never justify the prices when at most I'll play modded RE games, skyrim and half life alyx.The games made for VR all seem so lame and gay.
>>748899192>I think I'm around 2k deep into VR now, which isn't a ton but way higher than I thought I'd spend onAs a hopefully soon to be Frame owner I'm in danger. Every few months I'm sure I'll be eyeing some new stupid unnecessary accessory or upgrade. Like fuck it why not buy a full body tracking setup so I can windmill pose on niggas?
>>748899415They mostly are with some exceptions but in the past 3 years I've been pretty much only playing flat2vr mods. Talking about RE I did 4 and 7 recently and it was pretty nice.
>>748895918There will always be some who just buy to sell it.It's difficult to prevent that unless you implement much more extreme restrictions.
Got mine yesterday, never tried VR before and it is pretty cool.Could not get streaming to work from my Linux PC to my frame though, beta steam, beta frame and beta steam VR. Starting a game would just give me a grey screen on the frame and the game wouldn't start on my PC.Wireless dongle works fine apparently, just plugged in and didn't have to fuck with any settings.
>>748894263I would have bought a Pimax already if their SLAM tracking wasn’t worse than my Reverb G2. It’s the only thing holding their headsets back. Outside of wireless, even their lowest end headset, the Crystal Light is a massive improvement over the Frame.
>>748899751Man I was enjoying flat RE7 but the bug lady boss filtered me. Might give the game another go in VR
>>748899618I've always had the cash on hands but psychologically speaking you don't know how much you're willing to spend on something unless you tried it.I think it's the same dilemma of trying to convert a consolefag to full blown up PC set-up. Like how do you get him to go from a 500 bucks PS5 setup to 1500 for a nice PC + monitors + peripherals.I think people really underestimate the price of entry into a hobby. When I got into VR and put my cheap chink headset on (that is still good right now mind you) I knew instantly after a week of playing "Oh yeah I'm willing to spend 1k on this".
>>748899921yeah some other anon said it doesn't work on cachyos neither, so right now it's either windows or steamos
>>748899007>nevernever ever?
>>748900001I died 3 fucking time on that wiggly cunt ho. I ran laps around the house a few more times to get enough flame grenade launcher ammo and suddenly the fight was super easy. Here's the minecart section from RE4R as well which was kinda cool.
>>748900039Very true in my experience. Tons of other hobbies will run you into the thousands easily. Like snowboarding for a couple months out of the year etc. A decent but not great electric bike would probably cost more than I'll spend on VR in the next couple years.
I got mine recently and it's really cool. Never had a VR headset before so I'm having a hard time picking which games to start playing. Which games in pic related should I keep or delete from my cart? Figure I'll for sure get Hitman since it's so cheap.
>>748899845what they should have done was see which Steam accounts bought a Machine/Controller and never linked/registered it on that account, and then shadowbanned them from the Frame list as obvious scalpers
>>748899923i refuse to believe anything tracks worse than the G2the screen clarity coming from a rift S was beautiful but goddamn even trying to two hand a pistol sent my hands flying all over the place
>>748900113People who were on reserve list for Controller in May STILL have not been offered to purchase it, waitlist is completely stalled as wellSame with Machine, people have been on the reserve list since day 1 and still no email, waitlist also stalled outand you didn't sign up at all, you are at the absolute back of the lineSo yeah, literally never ever. Production will end before your turn comes close to being up
>>748900158Hitman Part One does not include the VR mode. Gotta pay up for the full edition for that.
>>748899921>Could not get streaming to work from my Linux PC to my frame>Wireless dongle works fine apparentlyI had the opposite on Arch Linux. Wireless dongle wasn't connecting to the Frame initially but could easily connect to SteamVR. I fixed it with a reddit guide and turning on wifi and got it working.
>>748900209Did you have the V1? It was legendarily bad. They silently released a rev 2 in the middle of its life that improved the angle of the cameras and improved the cable.
>>748900394probably but i think the main issue for me was lack of IPD adjustment
>>748895067when i got in the steam machine reservation list it took 3 months to get the email to buy it
>>748900475That came with the v2 too lol.
>>748900613oh well ive got a quest 3 now and have no complaintsatleast with the latest update a few months ago the software was wigging out and virtual desktop was virtually unusable without an ethernet adaptor
I got it, but I've been having some serious issues playing stuff native. If I try to run pretty much anything heavier than beat saber or superhot battery only lasts around 90 minutes. It can run some shit like into the radius (1, I haven't tried 2 yet), and blade and sorcery, but it's incredibly choppy.Hoping for extendo battery packs soon, I'm feeling a little dread about it, cause it seems like it's just a wireless solution, which my quest 3 solved already (for me at least). The dongle is really cool, I guess.
>>748900823just get a powerbank or two, it'll be cheaper than whatever Valve puts out
>>748900823Would not surprise me to if we get a third party headstrap with a bigger hot swappable battery soonish. considering its like the biggest complaint people seem to have about it.
>>748901192oh yeh those after market company's wants to grab maybe 2% of 30k headset market
It's likely this won't see another production run, if you are on the waitlist you are resigned to never getting one. Component costs are increasing rapidly and the current price won't be enough to justify costs. Valve will only get further heat for increasing the price and nobody will buy it as the price is already reaching breaking point.
>>748900158SRM on Steam?When the FUCK did this happen? VR too?
People could have bought a Quest 3, three years ago and had the same experience.
>>748901765but i cant put that on the gabe cocksucking reddit for updoots? think before you speak
I ordered the color passthrough camera right away once I knew I was in the reservation queue. Silly of me to think Valve had their shit together to send the units out in a timely fashion. Nearly a year delay for what.
on reserve queue but no purchase email yet, getting a little worried now that the emails seem to be slowing down. I didn't get my reservation email on day 1, only like 10 hours later, which might mean i'm at the very back end of the queue>>748901192>>748900823They revealed in an interview (and we've since seen string leaks in steamvr) that they're working on a new headstrap with index speakers and hotswap batteriesIt'll probably cost a lot so yeah, a powerbank would be bettergod fuck i can't wait to be able to play games from bed on a big screen, or do what this guy did >>748899094
>>748893809received it today im gonna set it up later, but i doubt i will actually play until my insert lenses arrive
>>748899094Have you tried the passthrough?
>>748902679hes trying NOT to see his dick nigga
>>748899094I know anthro heat is a furry game but is there any human mods? Dont really want to play as some fursona
>>748893809No, I'm on the cucklist. I get to watch every dysgenic freak r*dditor complain and refund their headsets for the next few months.
>>748900382I followed that and everything they said to set up had already been done on my system (Nobara) so I just tried a few games and no bueno. I tried launching no man's sky VR and it was just playing it in theatre mode. Only spent 30 minutes on it, going try and fix over the weekend.Might be steam VR is shite and need to use winVR or whatever
Got mine yesterday, and the ergo kit today. So yesterday I was playing HL2 VR without the gamepad straps and honestly, even if it felt kinda shit at first, I ended up getting used to it and was interacting and throwing stuff without too much issue. It's much better with the straps ofc but, if you didn't manage to secure those, it's not the end of the world
>>748903478It'll probably be a few more weeks before it works really smoothly on linux. You can probably get help in the VRonLinux.org wiki or discord if you haven't tried already.>>748903812How do you feel about the bigger nosepiece light blocker? I can just turn the lights off without it but I do wonder how handy and comfortable it would be to have.
>>748903910>How do you feel about the bigger nosepiece light blocker?kinda neutral, since a lil bit of light still leaks through (I have a slim nose, skeletonman constitution). That said, once I'm playing a game and immersed in it, I don't notice that at all. My only complain with the frame so far is the battery life. Aside from that, it's a really good upgrade from the index.
Speaking of powerbanks, any recommendations?
>>748904156Thanks anon, enjoy your Frame>>748904218I was thinking of grabbing 2 of these when I get mine:https://www.amazon.com/INIU-Portable-10000mAh-Essentials-Powerbank/dp/B0DQD35SQ4Based on a suggestion from this youtuberfaghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngZlsd2yVQQ
thinking of buying the pcvr version of zero caliber 2 even though i beat it just because the quest port is uglyall of the explosions almost look like 2d jpegs
>>748897630that's an 'ame on 'ick though...
>>748903910Aye I'll get it working, when I do I will post here and on that reddit thread with what I did. Maybe they just both need restarting or something silly.Waiting for Minecraft on VR to get updated for the latest patch which will be good, prism launcher has an arm build
>>748904352he recommends that powerbank specifically? from the steam frame discord:>I see the INIU P50 recommended here and other chats a lot>it drops fast to 18W charge>literally after couple of minutes>advertised 45W is there for 3 minutes literralyafter that, it overheats and drops to 30W, then 18WI ended up getting this one which apparently works better, but who knowshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DD3HKB8D
>>748895067here's your email
>>748901192Valve is already working on a enthusiast strap with proper DMAS audio and hotswappable battery.
>>748904352>enjoy your Framethanks anon! oh and thanks for posting that video, it has a really nice tip at the end I wasn't aware about>double pressing the aux button turns on the passthrough>>748906409yeah and it'll probably be expensive as fuck haha. For now I'll just get a powerbank, but I'll wait a bit until there's one that's recommended by most people
>>748893809256GB day one reservation and 1tb upgraded from waitlist to reservation 2 days ago.No purchace link for both... Got the passthrough module already two weeks ago.
>>748905867Thanks for pointing that out, I'll look into it more. That almost sounds like a defect, especially if the video dude uses 2 of them without any problem. None of the brands suggested around seem familiar to me so it all seems like betting on chinesium shit.
>controllers lose tracking when your arms are perfectly relaxed because it leaves the camera view just looking straight aheadunfunny, not laughing>has constant head jitter even when not moving just from the tracking shitting the bed constantlyunfunny, not laughing>multi-link streaming only worked day 1 for me and constantly switches back to dongle only mode for some reasonUnfunny as fuck, not laughing>stream just occassionally cuts my audio I have to completely restart the stream sometimes up to 10 times an hour while playingCan this headset get anymore unfunny? Meanwhile besides the shitty controllers drifting on the quest 3, everything actually fucking WORKS. I am regretting my purchase so far.
>>748905867goddamnitinformation like this is critical but where the fuck am I gonna find it
>>748908340Oh and the final coup de gra of dogshit is that the lens quality is significantly worse than my quest 3 and I went from having edge to edge clarity on my quest 3 to a blurry mess where only the center is clear on my steam frame. 2/10 headset unironically.
>scam frame
>>748908450dont tell me they didnt go with pancakes on a headset they advertise as good enough to play flat games on too
>>748910934go away metajeet
>>748911368eat shit nigger meta are the only ones actually investing in this medium valve put out one ok for the time headset and one meme overpriced headsetand ONE SINGULAR VIDEOGAME
>>748910934>The walled garden nature of this headset is actually a feature!fuck off
>>748893809I got moved from the waitlist to the reservation list but it sounds like I'll still be waiting for weeks
>>748911487Meta set VR back by 10-15 years. There has been almost zero permanent progress made since the Rift Dev kits that isn't just open source like Monado desperately trying to keep disparate corposlop from falling apart.
>>748911027Its pancake but a total rape upon the word pancake so that it might as well just be fresnel from the shit quality.
>>748912234if they set it back 15 valve set it back 30
>>748908340none of this has happened to me anon, your frame might be broken
>>748913364Then you're confirmed fat, as only a fat person having their arms displaced slightly outwards from their bulging waistline wouldn't have the controller losing tracking problem. Its not a problem for any actual games but for social stuff like vrchat, it's a problem.
Like, when my arms are straight down, straight vertical, the headset cannot see the controllers because my hands are blocking them from the line of sight, so they very slightly lose position unless I tilt my wrists forward intentionally which just isn't an organic relaxed holding position.
>>748913797if you dont stand with your arms perfectly straight in VR chat do you get viciously bullied or something?
>>748913482I'm actually super slim lol. I play with the controllers down and that never happened to me. Might be something related to your computer or your connection
>>748893809I got mine but I only used it a couple times to play Alyx because I don't have lens inserts yet and wearing the headset with glasses hasn't really worked for me, and I don't want to use all my daily contact lenses just to play VR. So I guess it will be a few weeks until I actually get to properly use it. I'm fine with waiting though since none of the VR video players work on standalone yet.
>>748900001Marguerite in VR seems like it would be too much, I feel like I'd have a heart attack
>>748912895there really needs to be better metrics for judging lens quality so we don't have this exact problem every time a headset comes out
>>748912042After 15 days only half the original reservation queue got their order emails and it appears that’s only going up by an average of 1-2% per day.
>>748905436Figured it out, use Proton experimental for VR games, not GE/Catchy proton. The streaming was hitching a lot though so I will use the script from steam to prevent scanning and see if it helps
>>748893809I got bumped from waitlist to reservationwe're all going to make it
I've had mine since Monday, but can't properly use it because my contacts are out of date and I can't get new ones until tomorrow or next Monday.And no, I'm not risking using my glasses even with the spacer which is fucking worthless.
>>748915253Where is this being tracked?
I got my Steam Frame but it doesn't support Streaming VR from my Steam Machine to my Steam Frame.So I uhhhhI uhhh
sold over $800 worth of cases to buy it, just waiting on valve to ship it now.
>>748919642What? Streaming works fine on Linux, not sure about SteamOS but as long as you're on kernel 7.2 or above it will work, SteamOS even has some helper scripts built in. What problem are you having?
>>748919401https://steamframeout.com/
>>748897432Meta stopped bothering to debug the wired cable link for Quest headsets and they crash on Nvidia drivers newer than JanuaryI'm sure you can work around it with Virtual Desktop or something but it shows they couldn't care less about PC VR
>>748919642... you are too stupid for vr, anon....
I got my frame today. The hardware is fine, I guess I could use some more resolution but it is what it is. Ergonomics are also good. Games are fine. Software outside of playing games, and the general ease of use is a disaster, I truly feel like a beta tester. No wonder normalfags on reddit are crying about it so much. Some of the default choices are puzzlingly bad. So if you feel bad about being on the waitlist or not getting your purchase email yet, don't. It will be a lot better experience in a month or two.
>>748922680>So if you feel bad about being on the waitlist or not getting your purchase email yet, don't. It will be a lot better experience in a month or two.but i want it now
>>748919642they announced that it wasn't going to be ready on release, small company please understand>>748922680it's weird how they playtest the absolute shit out of their games but couldn't do the same for the hardware experience
Got mine today. I'm really underwhelmed. The controller ergonomics aren't great. FOV isn't great. Image quality is fine but the contrast is pretty poor. Headset is quite light but felt very tight and hot, I couldn't find an adjustment that was comfortable. The battery life is really poor. At least you can put a battery bank in your pocket and plug it in.Standalone performance is decent I suppose, but you really need to stream from a good PC to get the most out of it.I played it for less than an hour and then got motion sick and had to stop.
>>748898518My source is reddit, because Google kept recommending me posts of people bragging about the Steam frames they received after being pushed from the waitlist to the reservation list.
>>748925803nahthat was one or two retards that got confusedthere was a "trick" to "see if you're waitlisted or reserved" before all the initial emails were sent out, but turns out this always told you that you were waitlisted even if you got a reservation
>>748925573>bad fov>too tightlmao this stupid retard can't figure out how to put on a headset right
>>748922680Yeah I'm wondering if I should cancel my order and give it a year or something.Valve haven't hit the ultra casual plug and play stage yet like I'd thought they might.
I might get one to play warthunder
Anyone have one that has/had a Reverb G2? How is the edge to edge clarity relative to it? It doesn’t seem like a worthy upgrade unless that is a significant improvement.
>>748895517I loved how banjo kazooie looked in diorama mode but I couldn't play it because the n64 does so much unpredictable auto camera. I can ride in helicopters in forefront with 13 year old pilots but third person is still more novel to me I guess. There might be an option to turn the auto camera off I don't know.
>>7488974321) weight and ergonomics2) eye tracking makes the ceiling for steam quality a lot higher with lower latency even though it's undercooked right now, foveated rendering, maybe foveated rendering over wireless but that's going to take latency breakthroughs like pyrowave3)Standard gamepad controls will be extremely helpful for VR mods4)Good FOV, it's almost 120 horizontal with 110 vertical and quest 2 binocular overlap. Quest 3 has shit overlap. Enthusiast headstrap may have more options to get the lens placement perfect.5) Steam ecosystem, it's a desktop PC with translation layers to run x86 windows games and android apps, also good for flat games6) expansion PCIe port is interesting and it can basically add anything to the headset that isn't better panels and optics7) Better tracking
I started playing Into the Radius, and I'll prob do Project Wingman after that.
>>748900823Get a small inui 10000mah battery and a flexible USB cable. Valve should've been honest that frame is a battery tethered headset with stock strap until they drop the hotswap headstrap or third parties make them. Really I think the stock strap should've supported a battery mount on the back though. I think you could do it without ruining headrests and pillow use.
>>748893809I'm playing "list it on eBay for 2x the price and have my YouTube video about why it's a piece of shit ready to publish the moment I get a buyer" (not a joke)
>>748901192I want1)hot swap2)index audio3)eye relief /tilt adjustment4)magnetic charger for the batteries
>>748904156People should be warned the sound is shit, like worse than quest 2. It could have $1000 headphone speakers in it but if you put them that far away from the ears with no temple arms to funnel the sound, that shit does not work. I immediately noticed it's quiet, less present, and no bass. Fall off at 200hz is insane. That's basically midrange and you can't realistically depict male voices that can dig to 80hz.
Is the wireless connection over the adapter good? That's one of the main things I care about over the Quest 3 since I don't want to fuck around with a new router.
>>748908340all slam headsets are like that. Valve at least freezes the controller position after a few seconds of hiding from LOS with no motion. Meta just lets it drift off 10 feet in front of you, even though the cameras would see it if it were actually there, and your arms aren't 10 feet long and your fingers are touching the capacitive buttons. Fucking stupidI've seen jitter but it went away. I can't reproduce it. The only way I know to get jitter is to play in 72hz with music.Your network sucks. Feel lucky your network doesn't suck and it switches to wifi only.Meta is a mixed bag. They either nail it or it's completely retarded and they never fix it. They keep making shit worse with patches.
>>748908450Quest 3 has bad binocular overlap they sacked to get decent side FOV numbers, that's way worse and more eye straining than flawed lenses on the edges. The center 50% is clear and it doesn't get bad until the last 15% or so, don't exaggerate like it's fresnel. Actually just stick with the quest 3 you deserve each other.
>>748925573Retard + inexperienced with VR headsets. Almost all this shit is wrong.
>>748931470G2 was my first VR headset. Also anything has better edge clarity than the G2 which had a famously small sweet spot. Subjectively without seriously examining it, frame is close to pic related. There's a little warping and actually quite a lot of chromatic aberration on the edges. But you have good FOV. Depending on who you are you can almost get 120 horizontal and 110 vertical with the stock strap. And the binocular overlap is pretty good, I think it loses out to only the pico headsets because those have almost no nose cutout for small asian noses.The real problem is streaming quality. It's better with foveated streaming but it's like halfway between compressed shit and display port right now. Everyone is still waiting on virtual desktop on frame because steam link seems to kind of suck right now.
>have to wait for the lenses to come in because theres ZERO room to wear with my glasses onat least I had the foresight to order them as soon as orders went up but still holy fucknever had this issue with my index
>>748933547You will either have no problems or you'll be a post on reddit asking for help.
I've been on the list since August and nothing. I think if by December I don't get my order I'll just buy a pimax instead. I heard OLED is a gamechanger and I'm just using it for race sims so I don't mind other missing features.
>>748893809>dongle doesn't work on mint because no 7.2 kernel yetFuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
>>748934721>frame is close to pic relatedGreat. It's literally just pico lenses. Ugh..
>>748897669He doesn't own a quest 3 and is just shitposting to shill for Valve. Probably also has a google and gmail account too.
>>748935048Im on arch btw so I would kinda want one of these if I had spaceBut I don't have that kind of money lying around or the space in my office for one of these so it's kind of a bust
>>748897163I got moved from waitlist to reservelist three days ago.
>>748934721Cool. Thanks, anon
>>748935062I'm hoping pico figures out lenses for their new headset because it really feels like only meta can come out with really good ones
>>748897669no one said anything about facebook>>748935067>meta doesn't violate your privacy, oh actually you are a hypocrite because this other thing I imagined you using violates your privacy just like meta.
>>748925803So it's bullshit as I thought, thanks for clarifying.
Did Zenni make a total of like 5 lenses for the frame? They sold out immediately and you can't even scalp those since they're prescription.
>we're running out of frames to ship, every day we ship fewer than the last>I know what we should do>tell 10,000 more people we have frame's reserved for themHonestly I'm just dying to know what the fuck is going through their heads at Valve.
>>748937998Who was the tiny hat that made it so glass that refracts light in a certain way requires a permission slip to buy it?
>>748939717You don't even know what prescription lenses are.
>>748935389Cool, one out of tens of thousands in line. Most of those people will never see the reserve list.
>>748938061Charitably, I would believe this means another shipment from the factories will be arriving at port shortly.
>>748942536Surely....
>get an email from steam> :D>a bunch of your wishlisted games are on sale (mostly VR stuff)> :(
Thankfully they haven’t sent me the purchase email yet and I’ve spent several day researching specs and capabilities. It is not better than a Quest 3 and costs twice as much. Its standalone capabilities particularly battery life suck. I’d also need to upgrade my GPU, CPU, and router to get good streaming performance. Its only benefits over the competition are weight and the fact it’s an open platform. Ps glad the captcha is an IQ test now.
>>748899094Ok so I played Half Life Alyx for about two hours now. It's cool as shit. Have yet to successfully hit a pigeon with a bottle though.
>>748943130>not better than a quest 3Nice larp. No one cares
just got mine today /v/ros its the first vr thing ive ever owned and all ive done is watched chinese cartoons on it all day
>>748893809I got mine yesterday. Earlier tonight I visited some vrchat museum or something about virtual art and it was fucking awesome
>>748936947>Didn't deny he has an android phone and gmail accountI see you faggot.
>>748910934and the most important thing:you can buy the quest 3 right now, but you have to wait months for your steam frame
>>748893809Mine arrives monday or tuesday. I got the 1tb version.I don't really need or want VR, I just wanted to flex on poorfags, and also to deny the hypothetical "next in line" dude like >>748894263Have been looking into a few games to try with it though, aside from HL Alyx; X4, racing games and maybe some of those dumb little wagie sim games.
>>748932795>Good FOV,dogshit blurry lenses cancel it out
>>748893809>got an email>forgot to payhopefully won't take long for my turn to happen AGAIN
What's the point of sending the buy link individually when the Reserve/Wait lottery was done systematically?You'd think they would spend more time verifying whether an account is legit enough to be worthy of a Frame than when those accounts will be allowed to hit buy.I don't buy that there are just so many people, and the store servers are so weak that they can't get everyone sorted away in a couple days tops without any issue whatsoever.
>>748932795>over double the price for miniscule increases in quality of life if any at all.
>>748934225Uh huh. I've owned a Rift S since 2019. It has its shortcomings but the Frame is barely an improvement on any of them, and for comfort and ergonomics I find it worse. I thought I'd test whether the increased frame rate or improved tracking helped with motion sickness in continuous movement games - for me it doesn't.At least it's untethered and I can uninstall Meta's defective software
>>748893809I got moved into the reservation queue last night.Guess a bunch of people didn't want theirs.
