Now this is how a "how to" video is supposed to be done. Straight to the point and not some dick that just likes to here themselves talk. Good job kiddo.
you actually only need a usb type c cable to plug into your computer in step 1 so no needing the link cable! just your android charger thanks for explaing that video tho! :)
Note: you don't need an oculus link cable, use any usb-c cable (including the one that comes with your quest) and just plug it into your pc as if you were charging it. it's way cheaper, and the charger that comes with your quest already works as long as your PC has the usb-c slot on it.
mine doesnt :(( i sold my macbook 1 week before my headset came i didnt think of that now i dont have a cable/laptop to play games it was a 3000$ macbook pro 2019 or 2020 idk but it was new i sold it for 850$
note: with some new quest updates the resolution change may cause visual bugs such as it only rendering a quarter of the screen or a really zoomed in view. people found that modifying the text scale and resetting it through ADB command fixes it. use this whole command, adb shell "setprop debug.oculus.textureWidth 2048 && setprop debug.oculus.textureHeight 2048 && settings put system font_scale 0.85 && settings put system font_scale 1.0" , while replacing 2048 with whatever screen res you want, can do the trick all in one go
The Mysticle did a video on how to do it with a phone. You do need an android one though. ( It needs to have a usb-c connector in it too so if you have one it should work fine )
@@irongiant2.0_yt66 wow, you could have saved enough money by Not buying an Apple phone over Android that you could have bought a cheap PC anyway? (not that you would need a PC as you can do this through Android)?
Depending on how heavy the game you’re playing is upping the resolution will both use more battery life and might reduce the regular amount of battery life the more you use it so use these types of tips with caution.
evrytime I change a settings the headset loses connection to Link then rejoins it . I also click on off headset but nothing changes even if I go to lowest texture size I se no diff?
Why am I seeing no resolution improvements at all on my ocular quest 2 after updating the software to v49. I have also run SideQuest on my PC and connected via the bespoken cable and tried to improve the resolution etc, but again to no avail. I do know the connection is successful as I have been able to remove the need for a guardian. Yes, I have cleaned the lens and all the rest of the requirements etc etc. Can you help me, Please?
Any idea why in games further away always and even closeby sometimes everything look rly rly saw edged for me and in the basic housing/lobby where u are when u turn on ur vr headset it looks rly blurry in there for me?
Diamond that’s a little bit reassuring to hear. I will try your tutorial and see if it improves. It’s amazing they haven’t been able to make that sweet spot bigger.
I feel like the center is clear everything else is a tiny bit blurry. If I turn my head but look straight ahead whatever in front is crisp Don’t know if that’s just me or a prob with headset or lens
@@judd0112 yeah its the ffr, set it to low or off if you don't wanna have less res on the outside of the lenses. but ur still not gonna see it good anyways. in vr you move with ur head, not with ur eyes just for this reason
do you need a link cable because im just using a regular cable and its not working
ปีที่แล้ว
I had made some changes on Oculus PC app. I've made graphics higher (not default dynamic settings) Should I reverse those settings if I'm gonna use SideQuest graphic tricks?
Hi hope u can help I just got a quest 2 but I don’t have pc... but my m8 does and he has a quest 2 if I give him mine can he up all the settings on mine and will it keep them saved when he gives it back to me??.... and why is it set so bad out of the box and why isn’t it in the setting to change it if we want!!!
Is there a way to fix the quest 2 from switching back to default settings when it runs out of battery, restarts, or powers off? It’s really annoying that I need to keep plugging my headset back into my computer nearly every time I play with it in order to get back to 90hz, etc.
yeah, I understand. I believe that now 90hz is default so it should always be 90. you can verify this with OVR metrics found in the developer hub: developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-developer-hub-win/ ... but if you mean the res then yes, unfortunately, it's like this for now.
@@Diamond_VR maybe it’s the res then. I just notice that there is a noticeable lowering of the quality every time my Quest 2 powers off, restarts, or runs out of battery.
DUDE great explanation video, you gave quick and concise points and tips that were actually helpfull and you didnt have a 5 minute fkin intro like all the other videos iwas watching on this lol
You do not. I'm able to set these settings with my 2.0 usb slot & old graphics card. Those requirements would only be needed if you plan to play VR games on your computer through the Quest 2 with optimal quality.
I have a issue when I change the Res the quest Home Screen only shows up in the top left of my vision and everything else is black but once I start a game it fixes itself but the Home Screen stays this way till I change it back to default resolution
I was looking into it because it didn't work for me either. Seems the Oculus v35 update broke the texture options so we will have to wait, not sure when
If you disconnect the link cable do the settings still get saved on the Oculus or do you have to have the link cable connected in order to have better settings
I see no difference when I do it. Do you have to turn off air play to change the settings? After you make the changes can you unplug link cable and use air play? Can you shutdown sidequest after changing the settings and going to airplay?
Don't touch the 90hz feature in Sidequest as it will cause stuttering in some games, leave it default, for Population: One, 2048 textures, high on Foveated, turn of Chromic and set CPU level to 4, looks great and performs perfect.
@@plutozero Settings are still good for the latest POP:ONE was playing yesterday, just don't touch the refresh rate option, the game is much cleaner with my settings, and you can aim a little further without it looking like Minecraft on an acid trip.
Thanks man best setting for quest 2 in all, it's like turning the quest 2 into quest 2.5. I would recommend the battery strap for longer gameplay but in all these settings are great.
Hey, I'm having a problem, I'm turning my Oculus on and off (using the button on the side of the headset) to implement the changes after I choose the according setting, but when I look through it looks the exact same as before. Am I doing something wrong or something. It's also quite annoying that everyone else is having no issues, can someone help me?

No 5 minutes talking but straight to the point. Watched your accessory video and now that one. Keep it up :D
yet he cant answear questions in chat :(
does the increased resolution done through SideQuest only work for SideQuest content, or does it work for everything?
Was thinking the same thing with SteamVR
@@ExplosiveTrees Virtual desktop/Steam VR is purely based on your PC but then the quest 2 hasn’t got as good pixel Gaddafi yards compared to a vive.
Do the settings get lost on reboot? some videos say yes, but if you have to reboot to take affect that cant be right?

does this have any effect watching higher resolution videos x)

does this have any effect in virtual desktop when playing pcvr games?
@1:40 "This gets reset when you reboot" DOES NOT MEAN reboot to use this setting. It means this goes back to default when you reboot.
The first video of yours I have watched. Liked and Subbed. Keep it up.
Can link cable charge quest wile you playing?

It doesn't seem to change the resolution for my headset. Is there any way to fix that?
Same problem
I dont see any difference in quality when i change the Default Texture Size. Am i doingg it wrong i did as the video showed
Ur channel deserves so many more subs
evrytime I change a settings the headset loses connection to Link then rejoins it . I also click on off headset but nothing changes even if I go to lowest texture size I se no diff?
When you restart it gets RESET. It does not make foveated rendering take effect.
Does sidequest work on pcvr too? Or the graphics are online on oculus native
My laptop recognize the OQ2 but sidequest doesn't. What can I do to fix it? I really want to enhance the quality on my OQ2!
Might need to enable developer access to your headset. Try and google sidequest setup.
@@hungflo3271 Probably it was because I wasn't using a proper usb cable. Thanks!

Wouldn't this overheat and destroy the VR hardware? Is this actually safe?
Does it work then ife i take my Oculus out of the Pc and play wireless will,it still be so good
Yes! It works just like that. Everytime you turn off your oculus, you have to redo the side quest settings.
