Close the iris!

Lower your expectations, like… drastically. First, this is what I used for my test (quite fun even if clunky, can recommend) and as you can tell, not exactly pushing any boundaries graphic wise. Then I installed SteamVR (obviously!) and https://github.com/alvr-org/alvr to use my Quest 2. In ALVR I set the resolution to the minimum and 60 hz. Once everything was working, I went inside to SteamVR settings and… dragged the resolution to the minimum. Text was still legible in game, everything was very pixelated but usable, and the FPS kept around 60. Do note that it’s enough to give some people motion sickness, not me fortunately, but you really want to target 72 or more. In all of this the Deck was roaring with fury (docked) and as my amusement worn out, I just uninstalled SteamVR and Taskmaster because it’s really not worth it especially since on the other side of the desk I have a gaming computer.

tl;dr works but just barely and expectations needs to be very low. Not worth it aside from curiosity.

This reminds me that it’s a new month, and time for a backup. Thanks!

Same. I mean… a positive second chance for me, because 20 something years ago setting up Wine to run Quake 3 was an afternoon’s effort, and absolutely not worth it lmao. Nowadays I know that I can just try a game, see if it works. Doesn’t? Let’s try again. Still nothing? Proton GE. Nothing? Ok, doesn’t actually work, unless there’s a solution on ProtonDB. 50/50 it’s anticheat.

Plus… it’s plain fun to get “unsupported” games and running them on the Steam Deck! Yeah, probably there’s a reason, but that time I played in VR using the Deck? Let’s call it perverse enjoyment.

Honestly? Research. It might not make sense here and now, but it might help something more meaningful down the line.

Or vr porn lmao

That’s an incredibly fun game. I had the Oculus Go version, the one for the Quest 2 was different and I bought it again. Now it’s getting on Steam? Maybe I’ll wait for a sale as it’d be the third version I buy, but….

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Those are quite the minimum specifications to run it! Damn! Have they ever heard of “optimization”? Because in 4 minutes, SD 3.5 medium got

this

out of my iPhone 13 Pro, running locally… with a total of 6gb of system ram. So I’m going to say that 32 gb AND a RX 7900 are a little laughable (even if much faster no doubt).

I’m saving that. Not sure if and how I could use it as I (at least try…) avoid fanning flames, but…

You might have some polypropylene there. Really strong material! Won’t stick to shit, temperature resistant, chemical resistant, can bend without breaking… never tried it, personally but it’s interesting stuff.

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Sounds like TPU? Maybe soft one too.

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Yes! Been waiting for this impatiently :D

Anyone on stable?

Me :P I looked through all the settings and found nothing, so unless it’s hidden somewhere I didn’t look, it’s not here yet.
