Do not just wipe with micro fiber cloths, for best results fold the cloth and rub in a circler motion starting from the middle working your way out. just wiping up and down will leave streaks.

[@jaydonwinger9869]

right, you almost have to "polish" all the streaks out with circular motions

[@BillB]

@1:40 "This gets reset when you reboot" DOES NOT MEAN reboot to use this setting. It means this goes back to default when you reboot.

Note: you don't need an oculus link cable, use any usb-c cable (including the one that comes with your quest) and just plug it into your pc as if you were charging it. it's way cheaper, and the charger that comes with your quest already works as long as your PC has the usb-c slot on it.

[@ArezPlaysYT]

mine doesnt :(( i sold my macbook 1 week before my headset came i didnt think of that now i dont have a cable/laptop to play games it was a 3000$ macbook pro 2019 or 2020 idk but it was new i sold it for 850$

[@fairplayer916]

does this have any effect in virtual desktop when playing pcvr games?

[@deddrz2549]

note: with some new quest updates the resolution change may cause visual bugs such as it only rendering a quarter of the screen or a really zoomed in view. people found that modifying the text scale and resetting it through ADB command fixes it. use this whole command, adb shell "setprop debug.oculus.textureWidth 2048 && setprop debug.oculus.textureHeight 2048 && settings put system font_scale 0.85 && settings put system font_scale 1.0" , while replacing 2048 with whatever screen res you want, can do the trick all in one go

[@jayclips5721]

Depending on how heavy the game you’re playing is upping the resolution will both use more battery life and might reduce the regular amount of battery life the more you use it so use these types of tips with caution.

[@flatfacedfriends]

As an F&M alum, you got my follow from the hoodie alone. Great advice, too

When you restart it gets RESET. It does not make foveated rendering take effect.

[@SuperDanDan2012]

The first video of yours I have watched. Liked and Subbed. Keep it up.

[@NexGen-3D]

Don't touch the 90hz feature in Sidequest as it will cause stuttering in some games, leave it default, for Population: One, 2048 textures, high on Foveated, turn of Chromic and set CPU level to 4, looks great and performs perfect.

[@Diamond_VR]

Here’s a good tip for people who don’t have the money to buy a link cable. If you don’t want to buy one, the oculus charger works as well! It may not be as long as an actual link cable but, it works good enough. All you have to do is just take the cable from the block and connect it to your PC / Laptop / Computer.

[@bherron98]

I bought a $6 10ft cable from Walmart that works just fine as well, gonna get a longer and faster cable eventually but $6 VS $80 for the official one?

[@Diamond_VR]

yeah, I understand. I believe that now 90hz is default so it should always be 90. you can verify this with OVR metrics found in the developer hub: developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-developer-hub-win/ ... but if you mean the res then yes, unfortunately, it's like this for now.

@@Diamond_VR maybe it’s the res then. I just notice that there is a noticeable lowering of the quality every time my Quest 2 powers off, restarts, or runs out of battery.

[@brunohale]

Just a heads up; when you were cleaning your lenses you used an up/down motion. DO NOT DO THIS! You will scratch your lenses and permanently screw your system! The lenses are striated like a fingerprint or DVD. NEVER clean your lenses in a scrubbing motion! Start from the center and work your way outward in a circular motion, lightly! For a more efficient cleaning, mix 1 part water to 3 parts isopropyl alcohol and 2 drops of dish soap.

Does this only affect Quest games running natively or will this also help with SteamVR titles?

Ive speculated that increasing the res will lower the frame rate and I wanted to know if I was right. Has anybody noticed that their frame rate drops in beat saber, vrchat, and other games?

[@NexGen-3D]

Yes I believe it does, but some games is worth the trade off, I find POP:ONE will auto switch to 72hz once you increase the quality, but the game is so much cleaner, if you try and force 90hz with increased quality, it will get choppy, now the home screen will stay at 90hz even when increasing the quality, and you can notice the choppy movement straight away, so its a balance, you want fast frame rate, then leave the quality at default, if you want a bump in visual quality, then switch to 72hz and increase to 2048 or higher.

[@jordanconner3808]

2048 is fine for all games with decreased the fps

[@cossieboy]

You can do 120hz now
