Just wanted to post my initial impressions of the Steam Frame. Received mine earlier today.

I currently have a Quest 3 (using wirelessly with Virtual Desktop) and a very well specced PC (9800X3D + 5090 + 64 GB RAM) so that's my comparison benchmark. I've been using VR for a while - had HP Reverb, Index, Pico 4, Quest 2 and currently own two Quests 3s (one I'm lending to my roommate so we can play together). Which is to say, I'm not a novice and know what I'm doing.

My use case is strictly PCVR (mostly shooter/adventure games), I have no interest in standalone games or playing 2D games inside a VR headset.

I was testing/comparing while playing Half-Life: Alyx, since I'm very f

This is one of those small things that irks me. Why can't we insert a fresh mag during the ammo check animation? I do an ammo check, I see the mag is low, yet I have to wait for the character to re-insert a nearly spent mag before I can replace it with a fresh one.

Pressing R during the ammo check animation should insert a fresh mag. It works that way in Ground Branch and I think it's a fantastic, yet simple mechanic.

Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? I constantly see this message pop up while fighting:

"You cannot start a performance while in combat."

My keybind to play an instrument is F5 so I'm definitely not pressing that key accidentally when fighting enemies.

I can't seem to figure out what actually causes this. It's probably some combination of keyboard and mouse buttons, but I can't reproduce this when not actually fighting enemies.

So I finally was able to get a 5090 FE to replace my 4090 FE. The 5090 is definitely quieter under load, but when at idle, the fans constantly turn on and off, which never happened with the 4090.

Is it normal for the 5090 FE idle temperatures to keep climbing while in the "silent/fans off" mode? As I mentioned earlier, with the 4090 the fans never turned on at idle. With the 5090 FE, I can see in HWMonitor GPU and Memory temperatures climbing, until GPU hits 52 degrees, which causes the fans to spin up until the card cools down. This probably happens every 30 mins or so? Very annoying since my PC is pretty much silent during general use.

Is passive cooling just not adequate in this card to

Hello,

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is a bug with the firmware/software, but I'm having trouble getting the Multi Action assignment to work properly.

I'm trying to assign "CTRL + W" for the 1.5 mm - 3.4 mm actuation range and simply "W" from 3.4 mm to 4 mm. However, when I do this, the keyboard never registers the "W" assignment, it only registers the initial "CTRL + W" assignment for the entire actuation range.

Everything works as expected if I assign "W" to the first part of the actuation and "CTRL + W" to the second part, but I need "CTRL + W" to be the first part of the actuation.

Any help would be appreciated!

From what I could find, it seems like 1/8" is the largest diameter shank that can be used with a Dremel. Does anyone make a collet or a chuck that will fit a Dremel and accept 5/32" shank drill bits? I have the 4000 model, but wouldn't mind buying another model if it means I could use 5/32" drill bits.

Thanks!

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but my PMAGs cannot be inserted with the Blackbeard laser module installed. The Blackbeard battery mag is much shorter than the Magpul PMAGs. Are there any AR15 mags that will properly seat with the Blackbeard system installed? How can I do reload drills without buying an additional Blackbeard or BlackbeardX battery? I asked Mantis support and they said they don't sell just the empty battery shells.

Thank in advance for any advice!

If so, how does it compare to HEVC 10-bit in terms of visuals and latency?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this is "no," but I thought I'd ask anyway. Does anyone make a facial interface for the Quest Pro that's similar to the ones used for the Quest 2?

I've had the Quest Pro for a while and still can't get used to the forehead pad and full light blocker - I still much prefer the Quest 2 style facial gasket. I have the Globular Cluster comfort kit and it does help, but whenever I use my Quest 2 or Pico 4 it just feels "right." Using the Quest Pro without the light blocker is too distracting as I keep seeing things in my peripheral. And for whatever reason, I just hate the feel of the light blocker material on my face.

I know that most people like the Quest P

Are there any red dots (aside from the Romeo2) with the windage adjustment on the LEFT side?

My main optic is an LPVO and I just added an offset red dot on the left side since I shoot rifles left-handed. Now I'm realizing that zeroing that red dot is going to be nearly impossible since there is no way to access the windage adjustment screw as it's being blocked by the LPVO.

The only way to do it would be to remove the LPVO, zero the red dot, then re-install and zero the LPVO. Or use a red dot with the windage adjustment on the left side, like the Romeo2, but I don't want to spend $700 on a red dot at this point...

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement foam pad for the AMVR Facial Interface (https://www.amvrshop.com/products/pico-4-pu-leather-face-cover)?

The one that comes included (12mm) is too thin for me (there is light leakage from the sides and my eyebrows touch the lenses). I tried using a foam pad meant for the Quest 2, but it doesn't quite fit. The AMVR foam pad ends are slightly longer and flare out more. I'm thinking a 14-16mm foam pad would be a much better fit for me.

Do you think this foam pad was custom made for Pico 4 or could it be an existing foam pad for another VR headset? I couldn't find anything similar

Specifically Antialiasing FXAA and Mode (and also Anisotropic filtering while I'm asking). I tried enabling them for some games, but couldn't really see any difference. Do these even apply to VR games?

I feel like some games have too much aliasing and was just wondering if this can be mitigated through NVIDIA Control Panel settings.

Thanks!

Basically the title. I actually quite like Crisis VRigade's over gameplay, but hate how there are no checkpoints/saves and/or unlimited lives/continues. Are there similar shooting games that have a more modern approach to progressing through the game and not as punishing? Having to replay the same level from the beginning over and over and over again until you learn spawn points and/or grind long enough to buy a bunch of continues is really testing my patience with this game. I guess it's called "rogue-like," which I personally despise, as it feels like a waste of time and a way to artificially extend game's length.

I already have HL: Alyx, Boneworks, H3VR, Gunclub VR, Range Is HOT!, Robo R
