So happy Meta brought back the new Ui. It Deffo takes some getting used to but pinable windows is a good enough trade off for me 😅

It is sort of annoying to use the new menu but being able to ride my horse or dive or fly etc and scroll at the same time is nice 😅

I decided to give A Township Tale some love by improving its performance with a patch

I have created a patch that allows you to change the MSAA graphics setting that the game uses. The game forces 2xMSAA across all graphics presets with no built in way of turning it off.

MSAA is a technique used to avoid jagged edges on objects, but with modern day headsets this technique is less relevant as the resolution of the headset and the rendered game allow for almost no jagged edges natively.

This means that MSAA is using a lot of performance overhead when it is not needed.

On my hardware I was able to go from running the game at 2300x2300 per eye to hold a steady 90fps to being able to run at nearly 3650x3650 while holding an almost locked 90fps.

Depending on your hardware the improvement may vary.

We announced Frostbite last week - now rethinking zombies as a third faction based on your feedback

We announced our upcoming Far Cry-inspired shooter last week, and despite the strong reception, we saw a lot of pushback around zombies being our third faction. We hear you!

Because the game leans into a sandbox style, regular armed enemies aren’t enough on their own. We need something that shakes things up.
Zombies were always just a smaller piece of the enemy mix anyway, but we're open to rethinking it if there's a better fit.
What would you put in that role instead?

Aliens? Rogue super soldiers? AI/drones? Wildlife? Something more grounded like bandits? Sci-fi stuff? Or even something more unique like resurrected Viking berserkers/draugr?

We still have time before we kick off playtests (you can sign up here btw), so we're genuinely open to suggestions and want to get this right from the get go. Curious what direction you'd take!

I can't stop playing VMX! Somebody posted a video here recently, so I picked it up and now I'm addicted. Sims like this are the reason I love VR.

XR glasses for coding

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been looking into XR glasses like the Xreal Air 2 Pro and similar devices, and I’m curious if they could actually work as a portable setup for remote work.

My situation is that I sometimes work from places where the infrastructure isn’t great (no proper desk, no external monitor, etc.), so the idea of having a “virtual screen” anywhere sounds really appealing.

I mainly do development work (coding, terminal, browser), so clarity and comfort for longer sessions are important to me.

Has anyone here actually used XR glasses for real work (not just media/gaming)?

How is the experience for coding or reading text?

Do your eyes get tired after a few hours?

Is it practical enough to replace a monitor when traveling?

I’d really appreciate hearing honest experiences, especially any downsides or things you didn’t expect.

Thanks

Questions about NFL Pro Era

Why is the game called NFL Pro Era 2 on steam and just NFL Pro Era on Quest store? Any difference? In regular season play, can you teleport to being the wide receiver after you throw the ball as the quarterback and manually catch it as the wide receiver?

Anybody else having freezing issues with QuestLink/steamvr? (Quest 3 won’t “find” pc after crash untill I restart my entire pc)

Title basically says it.

Been trying to run a couple games that usually run fine. Don’t know if this is an update thing but now I’m having crazy issues. I’ll be fine and then randomly get a freeze. If I look around I see blackened and jagged edges around the area I was looking at when it froze. I’ve tried rebooting the headset and disconnecting/reconnecting the cable. As well as quest link (quest link will show my quest 3 as well and say it’s connected)

Only thing that will get QuestLink to “find” my pc again is restarting the whole thing….which really messes up everything when you’re trying to stream. Just trying to see if anyone else is dealing with this

Question about hardware! And cameras!

My main question is this: could we theoretically take the software of hand tracking from the meta quest 3, and put it into a Steam Frame? They both have outer cameras…

My other question is could we potentially code a way to properly connect the cameras people use for the index, and maybe use them for full body tracking? (Like with that mobile app, but with multiple angles for more accurate tracking?)

Sorry if any of these are stupid questions, but I wonder if they are possible, and if they aren’t…why?

THANKS!!
