I'm running steam link on my quest 2 to my 5800x + 3080-12gb Windows pc and I rarely get drops (HL:Alyx, Google Earth VR, VRChat). When it happens it's because something is loading or the trackers lose tracking
just checked, i've got the 120hz toggled on in the oculus headset settings. Doesn't mean it's running at that, guess it would then depend on wether the steam link supports it and forth
Ugh - same here! I found this out maybe 6 months ago. Several years ago, I put together a moderate gaming PC to use on the family room TV. My spouse and I wanted to play Stray on release and figured this was the best way to go. The bluetooth was so spotty with our Xbox Series controller we had to sit really close to the TV and near the computer in order to play this game. It wasn't the best experience playing since sometimes the controller would disconnect, but it was a great game nonetheless!
What was interesting at the time was that my spouse had asked, isn't there supposed to be an antenna for the wifi, maybe that's why the bluetooth isn't working well. And me being dumb and relying on old knowledge, told my spouse, "It's just for the wifi, not bluetooth, so that won't help us here."
Flash forward to 6 months ago, and I was reading the manual for the Gigabyte motherboard and discovered I need to plug that antenna in. I made sure to talk to my spouse and tell them they were right, so they certainly rubbed it in that they were correct (playfully of course)! :)
Good reminder that it's good to always read manuals because of things like this!
Having just gotten a new monitor recently I don't get the need for three monitors to play a full-screen game on when your eyes are one going to be able to see one unless your monitors are really tiny
Yes, please, because the rootkit implication that every single one of my fellow Helldivers is cheating wasn't enough for Sony (hell, that was only their foreplay)... Now, we get the next step in the data mining cash grab.
I don't, but I do at least expect that a massive corporation will at least try to make money by not doing something this fucking foolish, I swear they fucking hate money and reputation.
It's not just a data mining cash grab. It's a bigger cash grab than that. If they had required the account link from the beginning they would not have sold the game in countries where you can't get a PlayStation account.
They clearly waited until the hype from the game settled in before they made this requirement so that they could make all of the money from the countries they don't service.
That way they could squeeze a little extra out of the player base by mining their data long enough later that players can't get a refund. Doesn't matter to them that they're forcing players in half the geological world to quit.
Truly despicable. They should be forced to issue refunds to players they are effectively kicking from the game, but something tells me nothing is going to happen.
It's not an apology if you keep trucking right the fuck on along. You apologize, in part, by fixing the problem. Absent that, it's just empty words. Meaningless.
You can't fix a problem that you're being forced to create by your owners.
Sony owns¹ them. Sony says "force PSN log in" and Arrowhead either does what they're told or gets replaced.
it has been pointed out that Sony doesn't literally own them. They're the publisher and choose if the game ever sees the light of day but since that's legally distinct from ownership: Sony doesn't own Arrowhead, they just have their balls in a vice grip and a gun to the CEO's head. Totally different.
That depends what games you plan to boot up. Are they the 100+GB Legendary Edition types with all the DLCs, or are they <15GB indies? If you think it could be the former now or in the future, I wouldn't get less than 512GB (also, keep in mind that games are only getting bigger). You'll run out of storage on the 256 faster than you think, either way, and if you're trying to save money, there's usually deep discounts around Christmas.
I always recommend Crucial drives, as they have been solid choices for me (I have an older MX100 that's still going strong 10 years later). What kind of interface do you have? SATA? NVME?
Don't limit yourself to just one hard drive. Buy a cheap 128GB ssd to just stick windows on, and another drive to install your games on. You can split that third drive to be used for windows games, and the other half for Linux games. Then set up boot order to access the Linux drive first, and when you do want to boot up windows you can hit the hotkey at startup to select a different drive to boot first that one time. That way you know windows should never jack with your Linux system at all, and you don't have to worry about anything getting messed up if you have to format one drive or the other.
This is the answer. I've had a 256gb SSD with nothing but Windows on it since 2018. Every time Windows starts to get a little feisty (far too often.. sigh..) I just nuke the drive from orbit and spend an hour reinstalling windows rather than spending a weekend or two shuffling things around to get back to where they need to be.
Only thing that's mildly annoying is most things expect everything to be on the C drive by default and it can be a little annoying navigating programs that don't "remember" the last folder they looked in. But telling the boys that you have to reinstall Windows and then being back on for games the same day, definitely worth it.
It largely doesn’t make sense to get small SSDs at this point. 500 gig drives aren’t that much more than 250 gig drives. And not only do you get twice the storage, but usually better performance too.
Micro center has a 512 gig NVME SSD for $40, or $35 for a sata drive. A 256 gig drive is about $10 less at about $25 and $27. A 1tb NVME drive is $60. For a little over half the price you can get 4x the storage and have space for days.
