The Oculus Quest 2 is a Homebrew Legend

[@BringusStudios]

Hella people are letting me know that my network setup is probably not fit for running AirLink. Here's my setup if you want to investigate further: - 2.5Gb NIC on my PC wired with CAT6 directly to my 1Gb router - Router is a NETGEAR Nighthawk X4 C7500 quad antenna with both 2.4GHz & 5GHz - Quest is on the 5GHz network, along with 4 or 5 other devices - Everything I listed is within an 8ft radius of one another My thinking is that my 5GHz band may be too busy with the other devices that are connected. I also live somewhere with like 20,000,000 WiFi signals bouncing around from other people all the time. I did set my channel to be one of the lesser-used ones, but it's still pretty crowded. Would a dedicated WiFi 6 AP with nothing else connected to it but the Quest drastically improve performance? It's really the only solution I can think of (other than using Virtual Desktop, which I'll probably just do instead).

[@WorldInThe]

Wifi 6 should help a lot thanks to it's beam forming tech. It's meant to help give you better connections in wifi busy areas. If virtual desktop fails then that should help plus wifi 6 has lower latency as well so it'd be a net positive either way haha.

[@HerbalCoughdrop]

Virtual Desktop is much better in most cases, if you buy it though make sure you get it on the oculus store and run it off of your headset though. If you buy the steam version it's not compatible with quest or it least it wasn't a year ago when I tried it.

[@Helloshere]

Okay, I've done alot to my quest to try to make it the best that I can (btw I have an oculus quest 2, not a meta!) What you need to do for literally any gameplay you want to do on your PC is use a quest 2 program called "Virtual Desktop." Performance increase by the nth degree, compatibility is a main focus, and reoptimizations to the system to make it the best it can be (uncapped/overclocked speeds sometimes) are just some of the best things about the program!

[@DJ88Masterchief]

Not about the Wi-Fi, but you should check out EMU VR, it’s for PC. It simulates a whole 90’s kids room, it comes with RetroArch and it allows you to simulate cartridges, discs, VHS tapes and consoles like your a kid in the late 90s early 2000s. You have to import everything yourself, once you get it setup you can connect your Xbox (or anything compatible with PC) controller and play retro games in your 90s themed room.

I got my Quest 2 completely for free. Literally showed up on my doorstep with the name Sandra on it, I went to Amazon customer support before even opening the box and explained how a package for someone else showed up at my house, they said they will take care of it and make sure the person gets refunded, and told me I can just keep the item. Then I opened the box and saw what it was and was sooooo amazed definitely the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me.

You can fix the latency issues by using the Oculus debug tool and turning off ASW. ASW basically allows your VR game to run at half frame rate and interpolates the frames in between which is helpful but also is kinda awful at times.

[@HerbalCoughdrop]

If you change your refresh rate on your headset to 120hz or something it's less noticeable but if you run 80 or 90hz with it off it feels much better.

[@TheNodeChannel]

Also just getting a wifi access point that can do some high throughput is a good idea. I have the unifi U6 Lite and it makes streaming 200-300 Mbps look easy with much more room for other devices to use the rest of that spectrum.

Im surprised it took as long as it did. I remember my room mate had gotten the original oculus rift and spent a ton of money on it and was soo excited.

Literally showed my phone in it and had a vr headset with no tether, and that was like 9 years ago

[@usujiotarako]

Honestly since joining the VR scene a few years back I've never had any kind of sickness from walking/jumping in games, actually I love it. I end up finding so many exploits and glitches you can do jumping into corners and walking through stuff you shouldn't. breaking out of bounds in Compound is pretty fun, exploring the world map, surprisingly it's pretty big outside of the small room you spawn in

I love how you mentioned "the scale of Minecraft in VR," yet while in the Half-Life segment you were somewhere between 3 and 4 feet tall.

This and Light gun games. You can buy dedicated hardware to play light gun games but then it plays exactly one kind of game

[@icravedeath.1200]

​@@DoomRatertbh I don't see classic light gun games working well because the balancing and pacing of those types of games relied on it's single panel format. What's the point in playing a fixed perspective type of game in a format where the whole appeal is the opposite of that.

[@DoomRater]

The point is the hardware can emulate the experience. You say it wouldn't work well, while there's a whole VRChat world based off of one person being behind the gun and everyone else playing the zombies. Also I've tried EmuVR to play NES Zapper games with zapper emulation and it feels great. Give it a shot before knocking the experience. For the record, both the Virtual Boy and the C64 emulator standalone softwares are about standing in one place while using a virtual machine rather than being about immersive 3D exploration, and those experiences work well too.

[@qhronoz1554]

**QUEST performance boost! for emulation you should try turning off guardian in either experimental or developer settings I forgot which. And changing you home to something lite like the bubbles or a custom void background. The guardian makes a huge difference for me and I always keep it off.

While I didn't try it myself (cries in laptop with integrated graphics), EmuVR is a PCVR Program that let's you emulate games as if you were in a room with a TV, and you can put cartirtidges in a NES or pass the controller to a friend (Yes, it supports Multiplayer).

I saw this video close to when it was originally uploaded, and it honestly made me interested to try out VR in a way that absolutely nothing and no one before had. The Quest 2, for all its shortcomings, seemed like the perfect option for me too, given a single USB-C link cable and space constraints. However, since I'm not from a country where its officially sold, I thought I would have to wait until my first real VR experiences. And then, it hit; the used market! I looked around, and while I didn't find a used one here, I did find a refurbished model for a really reasonable price! Excitedly, I waited until it arrived, and it did, and its been working really well since. Fast forward to today, and I am rewatching the video that was my final push into VR. And then I came across the bit at 1:35. I had completely blocked out that portion of information from my mind. I didn't realise there are 2 kinds of Quests 2 logos out there. *Mine says Oculus on it.*

[@bloodypommelstudios7144]

The VirtualBoy emulator on SideQuest works pretty dame well and (not having played on original hardware) I would assume far less nauseating since it plays on a floating 3d screen rather than having the image follow you when you turn. If you want to play 3DS games one way I've found is to just stream them through virtual desktop. If you set the emulator to display the left and right images you can even get VD to display them in 3d and it's a much better effect than using original hardware.

10:13 try virtual desktop, easy to set up and (unless your on windows 11) very smooth (11 has some minor latency issues with it as well though XP) also the new quest pro controllers have built in trackers AND official support for quest 2! they have the best tracking available so far on the market with the only downside is it takes a second longer to wake up (and the outrageous price but, it's face book after all XP)

Didn't know that about PPSSPP, I wonder if the devs did that intentionally or is just happy coincidence, I don't think they developed whit Quest in mind unless they were super into VR.

[@Blaeeeek]

Same here. Been playing HL: Alyx in my living room, running off my PC in my bedroom. No compression artifacts or any input delay at all. Rock solid performance. AirLink was way worse.

[@NigelMelanisticSmith]

Fun Fact about Oculus Link: It is actually just sending information through the USB Cable as packets of data, rather than using the USB C Feature of sending Displayport over USB. That gives you the benefit of using a USB A to USB C cable like shown in the video, but gives the downside that all the tracking, sound, and video is going over the same USB protocol as something like a flash drive, which isn't ideal or intended for low-latency VR. I wish WiGig options become more prevalent, since I'm pretty happy with my Vive Wireless and would love to have other options in the future.

[@IPlayIntoGames]

For some reason on quest 2-3 with PCVR, theres a software included called occulus debug tool where you can disable adaptive gpu performance and asynchronous spacewarp which drastically improves performance. As for visuals, you can put distortion curvature to low, which reduces the pixelated tunnel around the middle of the screen, and link sharpening to high.

A bit more research would be aprecciated before posting misleading content like this. F.e. there's a Windows (probably Mac as well) software called Virtual desktop which is way better than AirLink.

In case you don’t know what BOINC is, it’s sort of like folding at home but for smaller/more independent research projects. I don’t know if there’s a way to get the iGPU to work but CPU processing works fine. You just have to keep the headset in a soft sleep mode by covering the proximity sensor between the lenses.

I have a gameboy emulator on my quest two thanks to sidequest, it’s very immersive like you actually get to hold a gameboy.

I’ve found airlink to run almost flawlessly if you get a wifi 6 router to act as a dedicated access point, meaning absolutely no other devices connected aside your pc via the ethernet port. I had an airport express just laying around to serve that purpose for me

[@BringusStudios]

That seems like a good idea I should do that

[@HelloTher1313]

10:10 Air link isn't the problem, your wifi router is :] I personally have no issues beyond compression quality drops

[@theorphanobliterator]

the latency of the oculus can sometimes be put up to just having cable issues. i was having the worst time of my life until i swapped cables (both USB 3.2 type C), and magically it was amazing

[@gnomegguy69]

I still want the Leap Frog battery acid.

[@Shmew455r]

Air link works super smooth for me, full on PC graphics with no wire. All settings maxed

[@SeigiVA]

Im happy I got on of the last Oculus branded Quest 2s.

[@harrycushing]

I got my quest two a few weeks back when I turned 18 (12th jan 2024 for reference) and I love the thing to death. I got the 256Gb version off of Amazon and imagine my delight when I found the Oculus logo on the front, rather than Meta. Bear in mind this is a refurb model, but still, an absolute delight

8:25 They actually did but only for Oculus gear vr with samsung phones and it has since been discontinued sadly

[@Mickocarbomb]

the questcraft game isnt up to date with the current minecraft as far as i know due to limitations of hardware with the quest itself. however there is a way to link to the pc with the quest that allows you to play minecraft in VR you just need a copy of java and the VR mod for it, not sure if that up to date but there is VR MC for the PC

The old CV1 was godly for its time

[@BuckStedmanTV]

virtual desktop and a good gateway makes untethered streaming so much better

[@harbingus]

I got my quest a couple days before they rolled out the "meta" ones, im so greatful that Zuck Fuck doesn't have his watermark on it

I highly recommended jumping into VRChat for some shenanigans, it's amazing in several ways

[@jmp7624]

For wireless VR, make sure you are using a wifi 6 router or better. I also use Virtual Desktop, I haven't used quest link yet. I don't have any issues with wireless VR from my PC though and I'm very sensitive to low refresh rates

[@DavidSmith-oy4of]

How does the quest connect without using airlink?

[@jmp7624]

@@DavidSmith-oy4of Its over wifi. You get best results using a dedication WiFi 6 band but 5Ghz will work too.

[@DavidSmith-oy4of]

@@jmp7624 I tested it last night with my laptop in another room from my modem. I could stream movies to the Quest but looking on Virtual Desktop and the Oculus app I couldn't stream. Whenever I went to my camera to cast it couldn't find my laptop. Seems to be always something that doesn't work properly with this thing.

[@KegaB3]

i was playing minecraft in VR a few years ago, i still to this day talk about the shock of realizing what it really means to be TWO BLOCKS TALL.

[@MaximNightFury]

I managed to get a Quest 2 before the rebrand, and boy am I proud to have a youtuber jealous of me

[@MaximNightFury]

Also, I've had little to no issues with Air Link the few times I ended up using it, I connected both my laptop and Quest 2 to my phone's 5 GHz hotspot and maxed out the bandwidth and the games played fine, even Beat Saber with a song like GAS GAS GAS (with all the walls enabled) worked fine without stuttering or lag. Cabled was just as smooth. You're meant to plug the USB cable into a USB 3.0 port if you haven't already, USB 2.0 just doesn't have the bandwidth, even Air Link has the same max bandwidth but it is easier to work with on 5GHz.

8:20 Actually, Microsoft DID do an official VR port of Minecraft for the Samsung Gear VR back in 2016.

[@Illumiinarian]

Btw there is a dedicated KZbin app for the quest on the store which works really well

[@pixelatedzephyr6325]

my vive base stations crapped out so i got a quest 2, the only thing i miss is being able to track controllers everywhere around you and the oled, the rest the quest is so much better for me

[@Trekeyus]

Microsoft did release bedrock edition Minecraft on gear VR and it was compatible with the Oculus go and Oculus quest and when utilizing the quest your avatar had six degrees of freedom but you had no interactability with controllers you had to use your own Xbox controller Via Bluetooth. You also had to sideload it manually for quest as it was not officially supported on the quest and I don't think it was officially supported on the go either

[@fire-ballmc9741]

Air link actually works flawless now. It's amazing!
