The Index thread (please keep to subject)

Momma Mia this is getting serious!

Too bad Valve cannot redirect a few of these unit to Australia, lol!

Great idea - I think you should make a post on Index Reddit: "All Indices ordered to Italy - redirect them to Australia!" :D 

I think if I did that the Italian Mafia would put a hit on me, lol!

I expect Italy has a lot more to worry about than being able to get Index shipments...

I took a break from VR and all of the information sites for a few months to focus on my kids/real life and also to knock down some of my pancake backlog since I could still do that and keep up with them lol.

I did see when they upgraded the Knuckles joysticks and I was all set to grab another Index to give it another shot...but then I read about people still having drifting issues with the new ones which put me back in the wait and see mode. 

I'm planning on a 3080TI upgrade as the rumor is they are 40% faster than the 2080TI so that'll be a no brainer decision for me. Maybe if the Index supply is back at that point I'll grab one just to have it. 

I almost bought the Rift-S a dozen times since I sold my Index but I have an IPD of 69 and i'd rather have a physical IPD adjustment. 

On slight off topic Oculus note - 

I just dusted off my Quest for the first time in months yesterday as I had gotten tired of the low frame rate mine has in some games. I just ordered a link cable to see if that will breathe some life back into it. I still haven't played any new Oculus title since before Asgard's Wrath came out(no stormlands..nothing) because I didn't want to experience them with the CV1 SDE. I have quite a VR backlog now. Maybe a linked Quest will do it for me. First world problems.  :#

Welcome back stranger :)

I am still on the fence for a new HMD. Just kicking my heels until something inspiring comes along. 

Revive is up to 2.0 these days, but I'm still using 1.9.2 - used 1.9.2 mostly due to testing Stormland, but before we get those 3080 Tis Stormland is a no-go using Index (jaggies are everywhere with no temporal antialiasing - or gone with SMAA + Index res 200%, but so is great performance, I'm down to like 15-25 fps or so, sigh).

1.9.2 works fine for now - but of course 2.0 might be better in some games and apps. I use CV1 ss 2.0 for most Oculus titles, but I do use Revive for bright games like Pistol Whip and Lucky's Tale. 
Using O+ you really should give Saints & Sinners a try - it's a must have and greatly profits from oled. All Oculus exclusives that profit from temporal antialiasing (Stormland, Asgard's Wrath, Lone Echo, probably also Defector etc) are games/apps that probably are best played using Quest Link (also due to asw 2.0) - or your old CV1 - sometimes the SDE is your friend, not the enemy - more in this thread ;)

If you can accept 72/36 fps and fix the sound, Quest Link may be a nice solution - also for Alyx. Then again O+ might be interesting in Alyx too.
