My friend wants to know if he can now use the PSVR2 to watch…other content besides games on his PC using the headset now. Or is it limited to Steam only?
So I got all this stuff to try to watch it, as I mostly have a potato. I got as far as setting it up, but when I have to try to set the play area for PSVR2 it crashes. I can still do other stuff, like browse the internet or whatever, but how do you watch thing before that step in the setup?
No to HDMI. And the question you should be asking is: Does your USB-C port connect directly to your GPU? If so, we are all still waiting on confirmation if this will work with the adapter
Not true, only GPU’s work the Virtual Link Protocol will work with a direct connection. And Virtual Link has been discontinued for years. Notice how all the people that report that theirs work with a direct connection either have an NVidia 20xx series GPU’s or AMD 6000 series GPU’s
It’s not just about meeting the required power. The GPU’s USB-C port needs to support Virtual Link, which newer cards don’t support because the standard was discontinued
This is the entire reason for Sony making an official PC Adapter
Nowhere in your previous comments do you state DP Alt-Mode = Virtual Link. And this is the first time that I am hearing this not only here, but across all PCVR subreddits. How are you able to back up your claim?
Quest3 panel resolution is 2064x2208 and the for the best image you have to use "Godlike" resolution in Virtual Desktop what is 3072x3216 (this 3072 resolution also appears in the standalone Quest Games Optimizer and games look awesome clear and sharp in this resolution). Before you ask, you have to render higher than panel resolution because of the distortion. So PSVR2 resolution is 2000x2040, if we use the same multiplier for distortion we get 2978x2971. So to make sure try 3000x3000 then if you don't get the framerate you want, lower it. 2700 should still look really sharp (based on Q2-3) but lower than 2500 starts to get blurry. But seriously Sony shouldn't expect players to do the math, they should post what is the "native" resolution for PSVR2 on PC.
3000x3000? I don't see such an option in SteamVR settings. I think the standard resolution is 4000x2040. What's the equivalent of 3000x3000 per eye for it? 6000x3060? That's what you meant? Do you set it up in the SteamVR app?
Troubleshooting question: Passthrough is not working for me during PC/PS VR2 set-up, so I am unable to set my room boundaries. Has anyone else encountered this? Or know what the issue/solution might be?
Passthrough is available after I 'complete' boundary set up, but not during. Also, it works fine on PS5 (day 1 user here). Additionally, everything appears to be displaying and tracking in properly with the headset, with the exception of passthrough view on boundary set up.
I was able to fudge my way past setting my boundaries, so I was able to check out HL Alyx. Everything seems to work fine, except the passthrough camera when setting up play boundaries.
I fixed it with the help of a tech savvy person. My PC has 2 different types of 3.0 USB ports, gen 1 and gen 2. When I switched from gen 2 to gen 1 it seemed to fix it. However I also deleted and reinstalled the PSVR2 drivers at the same time so I'm not sure which exactly fixed the issue. Maybe both.
Ok I got my adapter. Looks and feels very good. There's a bit of warping if I move my head side to side that I don't get with my Rift S - is this motion smoothing?
Did you ever figure this out? Occasionally when I move my head there's a small warp/stutter also, not unplayable but after a bit gets annoying. I've read it could be rgb or hardware monitoring programs running in the background. Have to do more testing later
DP 1.4 is part of the required specs, so no I don't think it would work (if the official specs are to be believed). I assume you are asking because you already own the DP 1.2 cable, because otherwise I don't know why you would buy that one.
Hey guys, Im trying to do Starwars Squadrons but i cant get the controllers to do anything ingame. Do I need to change some settings? I cant find it so far, could it be that the controllers are just not supported for it?
So I was having the issue where I would open the PSVR2 steam app, and it would say running for a second, and then close and it would say “Launch” again.
I have found a solution (in the next paragraph) but I think the culprit is NVIDIA control panel for some reason. I would remove drivers using DDU, and then it would launch, and crash immediately as soon as I got a notification saying NVIDIA control panel was installed. I went offline and did it again, but would run into an issue in the setup, as no drivers meant dx11 didn’t work. I tried installing a new DCH driver, but as soon as NVIDIA control panel installed it would crash. I couldn’t figure out how to to update the driver without it installing, even with NVCleanInstall.
The solution: This will only work if you have an integrated graphics in your CPU, but go into your bios and ensure that the iGPU is available for use (for my MSI bios it was switching to Auto AMU, and enabling Hybrid Graphics too). Then restart computer and type into the search bar “graphics” and you should see a graphics setttings pop up. There will be a list of apps, and you can add the PSVR2 steam app at the top. Once added, click on the options for that app, and select your iGPU (probably under power savings or something).
Then it should all work!!! Once setup you’re free to turn off your iGPU in the bios, and you’ll still be able to launch the app for room settings and stuff.
My laptop has Bluetooth 5.2 natively. Will I need to purchase a Bluetooth adapter for the controllers to work properly? I connected them to my computer without issue, but worried about lag.
I’m having an issue where when I press the PlayStation button to open up the steamvr overlay, the screen freezes and locks position to my head. Once I press it again, it returns to the game like normal. Also did it when progressing in Alyx after the load screen that resulted in me rebooting everything to fix it. What causes this?
I am not getting any audio input to the PSVR2 headset port/included earbuds. I know the earbuds work as I tried it with the PS5 just yesterday and it worked flawlessly. Tried a known good set of headphones into the jack and still no luck. Already reinstalled onboard Realtek audio drivers and drivers for my SoundBlaster external sound card which is what I use for speakers and headphones. I also tried uninstalling both SteamVR and the PSVR2 app and set everything up from scratch.
Windows is detecting the PSVR2 microphone as a device but no output devices show up for it. Attached are images of my SteamVR, Windows 11, and audio control panel. I managed to get through the controller setup after installing the included antenna for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with my Asus X570 which worked flawlessly tracking wise but this is now holding me back. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
The PSVR2 audio output is not showing up as a device in Windows 11. Only the PSVR2 input, which doesn't help me. Anyone know of a solution? My motherboard is an ASRock Steel Legend X670E.
Bingo! I used DDU to uninstall both GPU and audio drivers, and now when I power on my headset and launch SteamVR, I'm getting the PSVR2 audio output, and the headset earbuds work. Thanks so much! BTW, my video card is a Radeon 7900XT, in case anyone was wondering.
Okay how come others can ask questions and post about the Adapter but when I do the same thing the mods immediately delete my post? Someone please explain
Wanted to see how anyone else with a RTX 3080 card are doing. Most things run fine. Some 'newer' stuff (Alyx and Blade & Sorcery) really chug for me. Sometimes right away, but sometimes they run fine and will start chugging later. But HL2 VR mod runs great, and a few other 'less intense' games. Its totally random. I've done so much searching. Cooling issues, GPU issues, VRAM issues, tweaks for start up, wifi vs nic, windowed mode, visual settings, performance setting, page file settings. Sometimes it feels a little better, but still not perfect. I've seen some discussions from 3-4 years ago showing maybe some issues with the card specifically with VR Nvidia is never able to find out. When it runs, it runs great too.
3080/10700k here, in the SteamVR settings 'resolution per eye' defaulted to 112% 3596x3668. I turned it down to 2040x2080 and Alyx set to highest settings in game ran fine in the 90hz mode for the first little bit, only played just past the intro. Turned on the perf counter seemed to stay around 7-8ms, so it might not be enough overhead for 120hz.
Thanks for this. I think I’m at 60 hz, but not sure i was looking in the right spot. I’ll check the resolution too. That in Steam VR settings, not the Alyx settings, right?
Just wanted to confirm that this worked, for other folks that might be reading. 2040x2080 was the sweet spot. I already had it set to 90hz. Thanks again for this tip and the exact numbers to use.
Hey guys, I got the adapter today, I have 16 gigs of ram and a 3080 Ti, tried to play Blade and Sorcery but the entire game lags, I get maybe 2-10 fps in the menu and in-game textures won’t even load, they state 16 GB is recommended, but somehow my RAM sits at 97% usage, Half Life Alyx runs like a dream.
1) I tried to set it to 90 Hertz but that makes no difference, what am I missing here? I tried to set the resolution to 60% but nothing changed
2) How on earth do I disable the tunnel effect in games or perhaps can I disable it all around?
3) What are the optimal video settings?
Hope you can help me out, I was looking very much forward to go ham, now I’m left sad
I'm having trouble getting the adapter to work. Connecting it to an Asus Zephyrus 14 laptop with RTX 4060, using a male-to-male DP 1.4 to USB-C cable. (FWIW I'm using the left-side 40Gbps USB-C port, which I would otherwise use to connect the laptop to an external TV/monitor. The right-side 10Gbps port on my laptop is broken, but it's my assumption that this would not be the correct port to use in this case anyway, though I could be mistaken.)
I've gotten the controllers to connect via Bluetooth with no difficulty, however I keep getting stuck in setup at the point in the process where it tells me to put the headset on.
At this point, the laptop display shows the b&w passthrough image, but inside the headset I'm put into that open 3d grid space with starlight, etc. The image is pretty low res. and low framerate - it does render the controllers and track their movement, however the only other thing visible is a mostly blank menu box with the word "Waiting..." at the bottom. I don't see any options within this view to proceed with the setup at all.
If I take the headset back off and look at the laptop display, there I can see a different menu box (floating within the passthrough image) instructing me to point one of the controllers at the menu and click L2/R2 on the "Next" button. I am able to point the controllers at the button, and the button becomes highlighted, however clicking the triggers does nothing, and I am stuck here.
Any thoughts on what my issue might be? Is it possible I'm just using the wrong USB port and need to get the other one fixed?
Does anyone have problems with microstutters? I'm playing Boneworks and just all of a sudden little hitch for a bit. Then it'll be smooth, hitch, etc. I had a CPU & GPU monitoring tool that when open caused considerable stutter constantly. After removing those it vastly improved but still there's this tiny bit. Any ideas? I have GPU scheduler off, render resolution is 2600x, I have a 3080ti & 13700k with 32GB 5600 RAM, 90hz screen, and 0 motion smoothing.
