Tried to beat Heartshot but at one point my screen went black (could hear all of the sounds) and had to close it. The autosave is bugged. Whenever I open the game, "continue campaign" is grayed out in the menu. All of the VR settings like smooth turning and grab toggle get reset after every loading screen. There's no way to holster the gun. Dual wielding is super annoying because you have to drop the gun in order to free your hand to open the doors or pull a lever. Then whenever I try to pick that gun again from the floor, I accidentally grab ammo from my belt. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I give up, will wait for more patches before playing it again.
The gameplay is decent when it works, the enemy AI is retarded, enemies pose no threat and are easy to kill. The music and sound design is great and the game can be pretty atmospheric at times. Some levels have kind of a maze like design and you can easily get lost but then again it kinda evokes the old school FPS games. The starting pistol is the best weapon in the game, it is much more precise and deadly than automatic rifles, which is really stupid.
EDIT: gave it another try after another patch dropped. VR settings do save now but the autosave feature is broken. I got far into the game and it didn't save so I have to start from beginning
Any game where there's no locomotion. Start with Beat Saber.
I'm using a Link cable and the Meta Quest Link software shows USB port speed of 2.1 Gbps which seems more than enough. Any tips for getting the best visuals in PCVR with acceptable frame-rates on my rig or any tips/tweaks in general?
Opened up a few games like Half-Life 2 (VR mod). Generally impressed but I think I need to do some tweaking. Even at maximum in-game detail settings, there's a noticeable shimmering or fuzziness on the edges of objects (except for the Oculus desktop which is sharp), even close up. I'm using an i9 Intel CPU with an RTX 3070 GPU. Maybe this is just the way it is with the Meta Quest devices (this is my first real VR experience outside of that iPhone VR device mentioned earlier which seemed like a gimmick, almost a cheap toy) and my expectations are unrealistic. Coming from 4K on flatscreens probably isn't helping in my delusional state
I currently use an old Arris SurfBoard SBG6700-AC cable modem/router combo for my internet that supports 802. 11AC or 1600 Mbps. Do you think this would be enough or do I have to buy a wifi 6 router? If image quality won't be any better with WiFi 6 I guess it would be pointless to get a new router.Opened up a few games like Half-Life 2 (VR mod).

If you moved from 4k then there is nothing that will match it. If you are using Quest 2/3 then you can expect clarity wise something close to 900p res. With Pico4 it is much closer to 1080p and with beyond something like 1440p
If you have quest then the best advice is to drop the cable and use Wifi6 router and go wireless and get yourself elite strap with battery this will give you around 5 hours wireless which is plenty. Quest either way uses compression even with link cable and at 900p clarity you won't notice the difference. In fact you can use usb 2.0 with link cable and it will work jus the same.
As for tips for performance. There isn't much you can do really. Resolution is the key, so you have a choice between high res and lower framerate or reduced clarity and better framerate.
I think they key here is "VR muscle" aka how much you can bear. The more you use VR the muscle will grow and you will be able to play in much worse situations. I am at the point where i can even play 25fps games on VR due to how it splits head rotation framerate from actual game framerate and i have 0 issues with it.
Honestly the split between camera and game framerate should be something normal games have. It would be much much much much smoother experience with it.
It's more of a noticeable anti-anti-aliasing effect; the jaggies, as it's affectionately been called over the years. Bumping up the internal resolution and maybe the in-game details helps but it's always there. It's something I will eventually get used to I'm sure. Anyone have a recommendation for a third-party head strap that's reasonably priced? A bit shocking that Meta shipped the Quest 3 with the one they did. I notice the uncomfortable pressure on my upper cheeks just below my eyes more than anything. Would prefer something where the fake chinese leather doesn't disintegrate within a few weeks.
