About this deal

I was giving to buy a valve index in August but after seeing so many people having problems, I decided to go for the oculus quest 2 which is wireless and trip free. It has done me good for nearly 3 months Ok so got everything set up yesterday evening, however spent a lot of time with it - one controller was giving me grief updating the firmware but finally got it to take."

I would like 100% SS, no motion smoothing / ASW / frame doubling. 80 Hz / 80 fps. I have an i5 9600k @ 4.9 GHz and a RTX 2080 ti 11 Gb graphics card. My rig is in my signature below. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope to be up and running when my mounting plates arrive tomorrow (fingers crossed) Learn more.For a full set of product specs and additional information, please visit https://www.valvesoftware.com/index. I hear what you're saying regarding the adhesive maybe not being strong enough, those Vive base stations are quite heavy!Yep those were the tripods, they worked out great and very easy to set up. And like I said previously have not touched them since. I set up my Base Stations on a diagonal with both pointing directly at each other, problem is, when I am sat in between the two my head gets in the way of the line of sight. So, tomorrow I try setting up the position of my base stations so that they can see each other. I just found Valve's own guide for setting up the Index. For anyone else who is new to the Index, here is the link... https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9140-EYIL-0086 Each of the Vive Base Stations came with their own power supply, do the Base Stations need to be plugged into the mains at all times? Yes

To start with I will only be playing seated games, but might try Half Life Alyx or something similar at a later date. When I was using my Oculus Rift CV1 with Oculus Home environment I really enjoyed using the hand controllers to aim the Ray-gun and bow and arrow! It says in the Valve guide that you need to plug the Headset into a power supply as well, but I only have 2 power supply adapters for 2 x Base Stations plus the Headset?? Do I need to buy a 3rd power supply adapter? There was a UK and US power adapter for the headset in the box, underneath. When setting up the Valve Index VR system for the first time, the synchronization process is usually done automatically. I did a solo spawn on the Kuban map at Adler in the South East region of the map where the mountains are, I had 80 fps except when I was skimming the ground at treetop height where I was getting mid 70's fps. Like I said I run IL-2 graphics settings on Ultra, I took the shadows quality down a notch from Ultra to High and disabled the MSAA x 2. I tried the flight again and it stayed at 80 fps even at very low level over trees and towns.the set comes with two base stations which is all you need but the HTC ones work fine they just dont come with extra mounting hardware if you want a 3rd base station I have found the online manual and will answer my own questions in green... for those in the same boat! If your base stations aren't working correctly, make sure they are properly set up for optical sync. If I can find something similar in the UK then that might be a good option for me, then I can have 1 base station mounted on the wall in front and to the right and one tripod behind me and to the left.

The rear right Base Station had a lit up B displayed on the front, I pressed the button and it changed to C One question is if you are going to use this just for seated games or also roomscale. If you plan to play roomscale maybe you would want ot maximize your space to the full room space (not only 1.5+1.5 diagonal but longer distance. Base stations support larger distances). The Valve Index Base Stations require a power source to operate. They come with power adapters that need to be connected to a power outlet. The front right Base Station had a lit up A displayed on the front, I pressed the button and it changed to BTake into account that the basestation has moving internal parts and your adeshive could be not enough to keep the base station fixed. If you need to re-synchronize the base stations or add new base stations, consult the Valve Index documentation for the specific steps required.
