Hello!
Anyone having issues with SteamVR?
It used to be fine for me on my 9900k and Gigabyte mobo but now on the 5950x with Asus X570, if I try Skyrim it becomes a mess where the game is almost frozen barely letting me move the pointers to close it. No idea what is going on

Pixel Ripped 1989 is an Indie VR game where you fight the bad guys in the virtual "real world" of your classroom and again in the 2D sprite world comprised of pixel art, retrogaming inspired levels. I have a soft spot for retrogaming and the title looks like it would be a ton of fun; especially...

Check out the video.

Audio is in German but Youtube's auto-translated closed captions are understandable. Includes evaluation of "out of view" tracking.
Someone else reported that his Dell headset works "really well" with Revive via SteamVR support. (not in video)
Just, like, my opinions man.
I really enjoyed my Vive but moving to the Rift w/ Touch has been a profound improvement in every way.
The touch controllers are dramatically better than the Vive. The thumbsticks are the reason I moved in the first place for the game I primarily play and I hate...
Valve made announcements about it SteamVR Tracking Technology update back in June. The new base stations are looking to now be shipping in early 2018 to OEMs in bulk. These new stations are backwards compatible with current Vive HMDs. Thanks cageymaru.

We put up a video of SteamVR Knuckles Controllers in action inside VR previously, and many people came back wanting to see the actual controllers in action rather than only what you could do with those inside VR. The crew over at Cloudhead Games has delivered exactly that. Pretty cool in...

displaying whatevers in the Vive on the desktop seems like a waist of resources,
also what I am doing, viewing in the vive should stay in the vive :)
anyway to disable SteamVR on the desktop? (besides cutting off the monitor :)
Thanks
All week we have been hearing multiple reports of LG intending to demo a "Next Generation" VR headset with Valve at GDC, but up until now the details were scant. They didn't even share any pictures of the device. UploadVR now has some real details on this new HMD.
LG's headset is built...
I'm running an Oculus with 3 sensors. The little Steam VR popup has an icon in it to represent the Oculus, a little icon for each of my Touch controllers, and 2 icons to represent sensors. There is no third icon to represent the third sensor. In addition, when in Steam VR with the Oculus on...

Still early, but appears they are shifting towards reprojection features similar to the Rift. No ASW type effects yet, which are probably what's driving this move.
AMD & NVIDIA GPU VR Performance: Valve's Robot Repair - Robot Repair is a mini-game that you can download for free from Steam to use with your HTC Vive VR system. It is highly likely that anyone using a new HTC Vive will play the mini-games inside Valve's The Lab. This is a Source 2 engine...
SteamVR Performance Test is free and on Steam of course. It seems to be GPU bound also. Give it a go and see how you do. ;) I didn't use the new Vulkan driver if that matters.
