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
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.
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)?
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.
Don’t change the texture resolution for Population One, this crashes the frame rate (the game uses dynamic texture rendering that lowers automatically for far off objects)
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
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
Just a heads up; when you were cleaning your lenses you used an up/down motion. DO NOT DO THIS! You will scratch your lenses and permanently screw your system! The lenses are striated like a fingerprint or DVD. NEVER clean your lenses in a scrubbing motion! Start from the center and work your way outward in a circular motion, lightly! For a more efficient cleaning, mix 1 part water to 3 parts isopropyl alcohol and 2 drops of dish soap.
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.
Here’s a good tip for people who don’t have the money to buy a link cable. If you don’t want to buy one, the oculus charger works as well! It may not be as long as an actual link cable but, it works good enough. All you have to do is just take the cable from the block and connect it to your PC / Laptop / Computer.
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.
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
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
Did they patch this? I don’t notice any difference
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?
that's a good question, I will be making a video talking about the different quality in games, and now I'll make sure to add that, thanks for the feedback!
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
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!!!

Since the link cable is a long android charging cable
@@blase1856 well it’s just a long type c cable
Thank you so just!
Much!!
Yes but it still says no device connected when I do it with type c

i've got an adapter and its working like a charm
Really? Is it stable solution?
@@mordavian it works the exact same, its just not as long as most link cables
Can u do this with any computer like a cheap chrome book not play but at least change the settings and resolution???

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.

Bro I just bought an oculus wnd you’re a one stop shop for everything oculus.
I don’t see those specific setting on my SideQuest? What’s up?
Thanks for the video! Now I just need Oculus Link and a PC/computer…I guess I’m sticking with low resolution

does this have any effect watching higher resolution videos x)
@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.
Thanks allot!!! My oculus graphics looks better than ever!!!
doesnt it lag?
@@ArezPlaysYT 2048 run fine on all games
Will making changes in SideQuest make the TH-cam Vr videos clearer? Thank you.
Did you find a solution to that?
does this have any effect in virtual desktop when playing pcvr games?
When you close your vr all settings reset. You need Always Connect your oculus 2 to PC for change texture quality.
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.
Thanks man! I needed to know something like this
tried these setting tonight and they worked so smooth! i noticed a bit more of a crisp look and render distance :) thanks for the suggestion!
Gonna try this tonight, I'm hyped!
@@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.

Do the settings get lost on reboot? some videos say yes, but if you have to reboot to take affect that cant be right?
Will the battery drain quicker?
Going to buy this one from release date, but havent free money to do that... Private question, is this device OK for 400€?
yes, more than ok
As an F&M alum, you got my follow from the hoodie alone. Great advice, too
POOOOOOOG THANKS, also I reccomend doing a tutorial on how to setup ALVR, because Virtual Desktop doesnt work for everyone.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll def look into it
@NesquickScoper8 yes
Not many people have wifi6 yet
@NesquickScoper8 Does it do something different than the software on their website?
the closer i get to the lenses the more out of focus the screens become, but i should be wearing glasses. waiting for my lens inserts!
How do I get 90hz to work on steam vr games? It is stuck on 72hz
When you restart it gets RESET. It does not make foveated rendering take effect.
Don’t change the texture resolution for Population One, this crashes the frame rate (the game uses dynamic texture rendering that lowers automatically for far off objects)
Will this work on the quest pro as well?
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!
Try the mobile phone version. Plug your headset into your android
My computer doesn't have a USB C port!😵💫 What can i do!?☹️😣
Hey guys I did everything step by step. I can add games thru sidequest but resolution doesn't change
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
@@whereta3097 thx for the information, I look so many ways to get fix, but its patched... Im too late 😭😭
The first video of yours I have watched. Liked and Subbed. Keep it up.
It doesn't seem to change the resolution for my headset. Is there any way to fix that?
Same problem
Will it also affect SteamVR games? Also steamVR has its own resolution settings, wont it interfear with each other? THX!
No it shouldnt it only affects the games being rendered on the quest
Señor Why Me no, you are able to change render resolution in SteamVR tho
This was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you!!!
Ur channel deserves so many more subs
Can link cable charge quest wile you playing?
Does sidequest work on pcvr too? Or the graphics are online on oculus native
Is that cable just as good as the real one?
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
do I have to keep the vr connected to the pc to make the 120fps, FFR and resolution work?
Wouldn't this overheat and destroy the VR hardware? Is this actually safe?
Loving how helpful your videos are and YOU ARE SERIOUSLY FLIPPIN CUUUUUUTE!
lol
I was thinking the same 😅
My sweet spot for focus feels so so small. It’s ever so slightly blurred. Does anyone else have this problem or is your resolution completely clear?
I feel like this could be normal... it's hard getting that sweet spot but it should be fine
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.
@@wolfbrother8496 yeah I understand. they should do something about it

Can all of this work on a Mac?
Would I have to adjust the settings on Sidequest each time I use my oculus?
Legend 😎😌
you too lol
Does this work for the oculus quest 1?
Thanks bro for the quick video. 👍
no problem man
Bro settings were reset after reboot quest 2 how can i save changed settings?
Does this void your warrenty it is the only thing that is holding me back

I tried the sidequest way but it doesn't change when i press the button. uhh help?
I have a burning question that needs to be answered. How bad does putting on the 2500 resolution affect the battery? If you know please.
Late reply to this and idk if you still need this info, but it cuts your battery to about 1 hour or less depending on what you're doing.
Depends on how heavy the game is
Does this only affect Quest games running natively or will this also help with SteamVR titles?
overall quest quality
Is there any way to save the settings so you don't have to do this every time you reset.
