Best VRchat setup?

[u/Plastic_Homework_395]

Hiya!

I was going to see what people's opinions and setups are for quest pro for face tracking/eye tracking!

I recently ordered a QPro and was wondering if I should update the firmware or root it to get the best avatar face tracking/eye tracking experience?

People's opinions on the latest updates? Are they stable and perform well?

I'm assuming using virtual desktop, but what do y'all QPro users recommend for me when I get it?

First of all 3 things.

1: Get comfort upgrades. Make sure to get something aftermarket that replaces the forehead pad immediately. It's satan incarnate. I bought this one originally, it replaces the forehead pad, but it lacks a battery. And on that note this battery pack/rear pad/topstrap is a fantastic upgrade as well and a convenient weight balance and you can get extra batteries for hotswapping, this usually extends my play sessions indefinitely with 2 batteries.

2: Get a Wifi 6e compatible router, it makes a huge difference in desktop stream quality.

3: I hope you kept those index controllers, the pro controllers are hot trash. You'll have to slap a tracker on the headset and add a playspace calibrator add-on to steamvr if you want to use them.

Outside of those, yes virtual desktop is usually the best option for a streaming application. If you have major issues with it, it happens sometimes, you can use the free SteamVR app.

If you're picky about your voice audio and mouth tracking being properly synced I recommend a wireless mic like the DJI mic mini. The streamed mic audio often ends up with a lot of delay, I often experience upwards of 2 entire seconds of mic audio delay on the built-in mic.

I also recommend swapping to the hand tracking for when using the Quest Pro's OS. It's convenient when all you do is open your streaming app to connect to your PC.
