Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
So it changed from a pool oriented title to general sports bar title?

"So it changed from a pool oriented title to general sports bar title?"
They'd gradually added a number of sports bar/pool hall games over time, they just decided to rebrand it as a social bar experience when it launched for PSVR and updated the PC version with a couple of things that they'd launched with the PSVR version. So yes, basically.

So this is out on the Steam store

"Produced exclusively from real recordings of 911 calls, witness trial testimony, and architectural drawings. One Dark Night tells the story of the day teenager Travyon Martin was shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman"
I'm not sure what to think. It's not free, so I can't say it's opportunistic, but it still feels exploitative. Also, the comments really reveal a very ugly side of the internet :-(

That first review holy shit.
Raw Data 0.5 patch is focused on performance optimizations:

I legit had a physical reaction to it. Left me feeling a bit pissed.

I saw that and thought it looked cool.
Why would someone make this?

Recent Purchases:
SportsBar VR - Bought it because of the update and it was on sale. Haven't tried yet
VR The Diner Duo - This game is awesome! Great with a friend, super hectic and fun. One of my favorite VR experiences, and my first async multiplayer
Ghost Town Mine Ride - Pretty cool. Not enough of a mine ride and disappointingly easy for what it tries to do.
Still waiting for my Thumper Vive release date. Devs are still saying December.

Finally picked up a Vive and i'm finding the performance in desktop theater to be suspect. I've tried a couple of simple games (Sonic CD as an example) and they're all running at a much lower framerate within the HMD than they are on my PC.
Looking around online, it seems like this is a fairly common problem but i'm not sure if there are any workarounds?

Any cool tech demos I should try out? i played GPU cubes and just downloaded weekend. A friend is over and we're wanting to try out a bunch of new stuff.
Yeah I saw that update shortly after posting. I will buy it the second it has VR. Seems like a crazy experience.

Use Big Screen. It's better.
And have a good PC. Remember, it's now rendering a VR environment and your game on top of it.

Just picked up SuperHot VR because revive is working. I loved the original so I'm excited to go though the VR version

Just got done going through SuperHot VR and I'm blown the fuck away. Beat every expectation. Best VR experience yet. Seriously do yourself a favor and pick it up if you haven't. Worked perfectly with my vive
Just dusted off the Vive after not using it for a few months. Did a few firmware updates.
The option to put the base stations in standby mode after closing Steam VR doesn't seem to work anymore. The green light on the headset also stays on, when it used to turn red. In the general settings I do have the box checked to put them in standby. I've toggled it off and on, and I've done a reboot.
Any idea how to get this stuff to sleep properly again?

On Windows 10? Disable driver signature enforcement on reboot, and reinstall the bluetooth driver.

Thanks, i'll give Big Screen a shot.
I'm a little confused at your good PC comment, though. If I look at the game on my monitor it's running at 60fps, no performance issues. But within the HMD, the framerate appears to be cut in half. Isn't it just getting mirrored in theater mode? Wouldn't the framerate be equally good/bad on both desktop and HMD? Why the discrepancy?
It's fantastic, but also gets ridiculously challenging. We were hyped when we finally managed to complete level 30 (which seemed like the last), only to discover that we had unlocked a set of completely impossible extra levels.
Part of the reason is the fact that the headset runs at 90fps and the game running at 60fps which does not mesh well together. It would be nice to be able to be able to run the games at 90fps in the theatre mode.
I'll get when it comes to Steam. I want my games to be future-proof, and that's not possible with Oculus software.

Any word on Superhot coming to SteamVR? I really do not want to spend money at the Oculus store.
It's alluded to. So...Yeah...One day
Look if you have stuff to play, then stick to your principle. But if you're looking for that "it" game in VR...drop the cash.

It's the former by far, so I'm good for now.
Why is no one talking about this?!?!?

just played like 25 minutes of rec room charades and my mic was off the entire time.
fuck me

Shhh, you don't want Handibot to hear that.
Yeah they're entirely new levels designed for VR.
It's currently the best thing I've played on any VR device. It's not that long (it'll probably only take you a couple hours to get through all of them) but it is worth every penny IMO.
Best VR game I've played hands down. Playing it normally vs VR is a totally new experience. If you want to feel like the ultimate badass, this is the game for it.

I loved and played the original. The VR version has a brand new story and all new levels. Worth playing for sure.

TBQH, Serious Sam isn't too far off from SmashTV so the upcoming VR Remake of First Encounter should scratch that itch.

didnt know they were putting out a vr port of first encounter thats going to be really fun
Yes and yes.
I'm really hyped for the Serious Sam release, I hope the short-range teleport implementation is good.
Nice to be able to segue directly from the Arizona Sunshine coop campaign into that.
Talking about coop, there has been a pretty massive Raw Data update. Haven't tried it yet, but impressions seem positive.

I think you got ninja'd on that.
I have a bug with Raw Data, when I play the introduction sequence, the tutorial "hang" on the weapons tutorial - I teleport to the place with the video monitor and nothing is displayed on it except for the Eden Corp logo. Anyone knows how to fix it?
It's that moment:

Only half an hour of Climbey and I started to question the existence of my legs. Moving by throwing my arms around felt more natural. Everything below the waist just works automatically without me putting any thought to it.
The new Raw Data patch is a significant performance gain on my rig. Keep in mind that when you restart it, it recalibrates all your graphics settings based on their changes and the render target multiplier is not the same scale it was before. It recommended all epic settings for me and I was a little dubious, but it actually ran really great. From the patch notes, they did a lot to make the frame rate more consistent during heavy action by dynamically scaling some effects and models.
I ran into this same bug. We spent 5 min trying to figure out and then just restarted.

Did it help? I restarted many times, validated game data, removed all configuration files - nothing.
That's how it looks:

The screen just blinks E logo and nothing happens.
Hmm, I haven't seen that issue, sorry.
Just tested the update a while ago, playing the reworked Nuke Fusion mission (now with VO too). A huge technical improvement, significantly more consistent performance and less specular shimmering.
And as a Saija player I of course appreciate the balancing changes
