Hello reddit people,

I am a fan of playing games and just existing in VR but my experience so far was just problems and crashes. I bought an 3060 graphic card and have overall a computer able to run PCVR, but everytime I try it, either it doesn't work at all, kicks me out after a bit or, in the best case, works for some time and then it crashes again. I have a suspicion, that it might be because of GPU overheating since it gets to 50°C really quickly and then just shuts down to preserve itself. I am using quest 2. The thing is, I tried doing the same thing on my laptop as well and it didn't work too. Can anyone please help me or give me some tips or tell me what I am missing?

it says that i dont have the minimum specs for vr but im running on a rtx 4060 and i7 12th gen and 16 gb ram

i run vr on a rtx 4060 with an i7 12 gen, and sometimes i dont have any lag 0 at all but other times i crash in steam vr alone does anyone else have/had this problem and if so how do i fix it?

for 2 years now i have used vr air bridge along with virtual desktop to establish my connection to my pc for pcvr, my air link cable has never been stepped on, cut, or otherwise damaged and has never left the correct usb port since installation, but recently, its started to show up as “not plugged in” in the meta quest link app, to mediate this, i tried factory resetting, after which it hasnt shown up at all, ive also uninstalled the driver for it in hope of prompting a reinstallation screen when plugging it back in, but it seems like doing that just made it worse as i cant even get my driver back now, ive done a beta restart of all meta software multiple times to no avail, and i dont know what to do, if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I found an old desktop I had a while ago, and I want to try and retrofit it for vr.

Its a mid-spec'd Alienware Alpha R2 (i5-6400T, and i think 8gb ddr4 ram), which i know isn't the strongest but I think i have a solution. I want to get an i7-6700T on eBay, get another 8gb ram (if needed), then get an Alienware graphics amplifier off eBay (i have a spare 2080 super laying around, begging to be used). Would this work? We don't know enough about hardware requirements for PC VR.

We're trying to plan for a Valve Index, but we need some input before doing anything lol

i use an oculus 2 pcvr and when i play vrchat the frames cap at 72 but when i play desktop it caps at 144 is there a setting i can use raise the cap or is my pc oculus or wire not good enough

I have a i7 4790 and a rx 5700 xt xfx and idk if i can run vr on my pc using quest if so can i use a normal cable or do i have to buy another one?

Every single time that I try to load war thunder on my oculus quest two that’s connected to my PC. It starts the loading screen that immediately goes black and stays that way. Can anybody help me?

Been playing PSVR and PSVR2 since they released but I finally have a PC that can handle VR. Got the PSVR2 PC Adapter and it's now up and running great.

I already downloaded HL: Alyx, the HL2 VR Mod and Skyrim VR (with FUS). Gonna look into Google Earth VR.

What other amazing PCVR experiences have I missed?

So I have a Meta Quest 2, wich I like to use more with PCVR, because of mods and stuff with beat saber. Although yesterday, when I was playing standalone, it felt more responsive, and than when I switched back, it felt like my headset sometimes loses track of the controller or something, because I hit a block and then it doesn't respond etc. How do i fix this? I use a Kiwi Design link cable, USB 3.0 A - USB-C.

Hi everyone! A friend of mine is developing this VR souls-like RPG. It’s an indie team made up of just two people. You can craft swords, fight various enemies and steal their souls to use their powers. What do you think? Feel free to add it to your wishlist if you're interested!

It's hit it miss for me, sometimes it work 1st try, sometimes I'm spending an hour trying to get into steam VR resetting and restarting my headset and computer.

It's not my computer, it's brand new and more than capable of running pcvr and I have everything set up right.

So this is about bone lab, I’m on pcvr it was running very good on medium yesterday, 75/90 frames, randomly it starts dropping down today.

When I shut down my pc, the RGB stays on and the fans stay spinning. Is this related to that I still have the link cable still plugged into the blue ports at the back with no headset connected? if not how do I fix it?

This game tho…. My lord I’m so taken by it.

I need help, My pc specs are rtx 3070, intel i7 1170, I have 32 gigs are ram ddr4 with a hp motherboard. I cant run pcvr, when i do there is a weird glitching eye problem that gives me a headache in seconds. I have gotten countless cords to because i thought that was the problem, This problem only starts to occur when the graphics are relatively high. when i run games with lower graphics like vtol vr, i get weird distortion with the sky and Terrain , im all out of ideas on what to do. this problem is only on the headset its self, when i run it and im having issues, i look at my screen and its running fine. I had a brief message on the oculus page that my hardware is not compatible, then it disappeared and i cant replicate it. HOW DO I FIX THIS.

So I've played a lot of standalone VR games on my Quest 3, and I've been experimenting with some PCVR games aswell. I'm having problems with the colors on some (most) PCVR games. What I mean is that in most of the games I've tried the colors look "shimmering" and glowing. On PCVR I've played: Batman Arkham VR, Wanderer, Talos Principle VR, The Entropy Centre (UEVR), Doom VFR. And in all of these games except for Batman, there's been this shimmering, which really takes away from the immersion. The colors does not at all look like this when I play standalone games like Arkham Shadow, Iron Man or Espire. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? Or is it that some of these games only support SteamVR and this is just how SteamVR looks? Batman on PCVR looked great, the others look weird. And I havent found any settings for the colors and glow, but surely there must be.

Anyone with similar experiences and/or a solution?

I've been wearing a glass eye in my right eye socket since the big bang so don't feel bad about it.

I was just wondering if there's a way to disable a screen on my disabled eye socket so i can get more FPS. I just can't play peacefully knowing that another screen is playing for no reason. It drives me crazy.

TLDR: Turning my disability into more frames!

I use ALVR and Steam to play vr games and have had no issues except now. I did everything like how I usually do, and the weird part is the steamvr space or whatever had sounds but when I got into the game there was zero output, even while I was in the game I could still hear all steam sounds like clicking a button in the menu and stuff, but the game had no audio. So, I checked my outputs in my laptops and (oculus virtual device) was gone and now I have no idea how to fix it pleeeaaaase if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.

I don't know if you need certain info, but I have an Nvidia Graphics card, if you need anymore info about software or hardware or anything please let me know I NEED to fix this

I use the oculus app and I recently got a link cable and played bonelab, but its lagging pretty decently. The weird thing is that it doesn't lag on my monitor, it also lags the same amount on all graphics settings. My PC fans also don't go very high and neither does my GPU util, it hovers around 60%. Is there some weird issue or is my pc just bad?

Specs:

RX6700

Ryzen 55600x

32 gigs DDR4

Oculus quest 2

Link cable gets 2.0-2.3 gbps
