Mostly here to kill time. Big fan of open source game engine recreations/source ports, firmware modding, Linux, and gaming in general.
I have tried that. I unplugged everything except a wireless keyboard I used to navigate the menus and it didn’t help
Mostly for tinkering. If I’m setting up an abandonware game or modding a game I prefer to do so in Lutris. It makes it easier to hop back and forth.
I also use desktop mode for a lot of indie games I may only be playing for small amounts of time
If you are using Steam Link you still require a PC
GRIS. An absolutely gorgeous game with some relatively easy platforming and puzzles. It was published by Devolver Digital.
If you are lightly toasted ECHO can be a lot of fun. Great visuals and plenty of ways to cheese your way around puzzles.
Cloud Punk is a super chill cyberpunk taxi game. I don’t think I ever felt stressed playing it.
I could be wrong but I think there are Lutris install scripts that help with that
One other website I’d check out if you are getting into any obscure/older games that might not have a lot of comments on ProtonDB is the PCGamingWiki. Lots of fixes are listed there
Have you heard of ProtonDB? It rates the current state of games and recommended fixes.
Gaming on Linux has improved a lot over the years. It’s typically only multiplayer games with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) that you’ll run into major issues with. Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading but I think a lot of Bethesda games have easy work arounds and documentation.
ProtonUp is pretty neat. It’s a bit of an easier way to keep Proton-GE up to date
In your quick settings menu next to the brightness bar there’s typically a sun you can click to toggle it.
Is there not something similar on your device?
I thought it might be a loose connection or a cable issue as well but I’ve tried reseating them and also using an externally powered USB hub because I’ve heard that can fix some issues.
Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc
Don’t you need Meta’s software to setup the headset and get your computer to recognize it?
I own a Rift S as well and absolutely hate Meta’s software. On the hardware side of things I’ve had pretty much constant disconnection issues
I own a PS4 so having the dual functionality would be nice though I would primarily be using it for videos. As I said in another comment they are also quite cheap (~$100) where I live and I’d like to avoid any of Meta’s software and only Oculus products (and the PSVR) are available second hand
I am looking at the original. They can be found real cheap where I live second hand
Due it being like this since I got it, an intermittent issue, and a common issue online I don’t think it is the unit. Killing Oculus’ software and restarting it would occasionally get it to work so I feel like it might be that. I spent sometime reading Oculus Support threads and others shared my suspicions.
My only other thought would have been my motherboard or power supply. My CPU, GPU, and RAM should be enough.
