The HAGS tip is something I'd read in passing and completely forgot about. I've read it being responsible for a lot of stuttering in games like Dirt 2.0, so thanks for the reminder of this AJ. Very useful.
I can’t believe such a random feature could cause so many issues, lol. Thanks dude and man Dirt Rally is so amazing! There’s a couple more I look forward to trying too
Great run-through but I already have no time to play all my PSVR2 games... And I took the console psvr2 for the plug and play VR. Nevertheless, thank you!
This is a fantastic guide, thank you so much! I want to add that if you have gamepass you can play their VR games withouth any external program... At least i can. I'll check the revive thing because i want to play power wash simulator VR
Man let me tell you have been so frustrated with the set up of this but this video is the best on step by step I actually managed to use it on flight simulator last night thank you .
Just an FYI, HAGS is required for advanced 4XXX Nvidia card features such as frame gen. That is most likely why Windows 11 has it enabled by default. So if you play other games with a 4XXX card, you probably want to re-enable HAGS for those. Just thought I would bring that up.
They told me I only needed a small box, but now I learn I'm going to come out of my local electronics outlet wrapped in cables like an IT Christmas tree. I haven't missed all the extra steps PC gaming demands at times, but this should be worth it to answer all the "What if [x] was in VR?" questions. And I'm really happy to hear that the mods are working on the headset, as that wasn't guaranteed.
Thank you mate. Been working with PC’s longer than I’d like to admit and there were a couple of things in here I’d forgotten over time.. appreciate your video! Informative, and you have a nice manner about you. Thanks for the help!
The HAGS thing is huge. I got a quest 3 and was so pumped to hook it up to my PC. I have a 4090 so didn't expect any performance issues. The first time I fired up Half Life Alyx it was a stutter fest. I messed around with video settings for hours trying to figure it out. I don't even remember where I ran across a random comment about HAGS but that was the last thing I tried and boom all stuttering was gone. I am now testing PSVR2 and it's the same deal. If HAGS is on it's a stutter fest. What sucks though is you have to turn HAGS back on if you want to play a PC game with frame generation so since I am playing Stalker 2 right now and also messing around in VR I am constantly turning it on and off and restarting each time I switch between games. But man did it feel good to finally figure out what the problem was. Also one last thing, for PSVR2, go into your device manager and look under display adapters. If you have any virtual desktops running disable those. I think that also has a negative effect on PSVR2 PC performance.
I just started using my psvr2 yesterday. Same boat, gigabyte 4090 gaming OC and the screen tearing and stutter was so bad. You saved me a lot of work I was just about to start tinkering with settings.
Definitely second the extension cable. I have the UB500 adapter and was having constant drifting and sync issues. I brought the extension cable and put the cable behind me and it's completely solved that issue.
Hoooollyy! Thank you for this video! Just got my adapter and was bummed with Alyx hitching and warping making me motion sick. Your tips solved all of it. Perfect perf now. Appreciate the video!
Amazing video man! You really cover all the essentials here in one place. I wish I found this a few days ago. That HAGS setting must have been what was causing my major issues, at least with Squadrons. It's totally night and day difference playing it before and after changing that setting. I get a solid 90 frames on ultra setting compared to a choppy 60 no matter what I did. I just set everything to high though to avoid the oddball blip into the 80's on ultra. I don't really see a visual difference anyway. Thanks for this!
Hi AJ, thank you, thank you. Having managed to setup the PSVR2 hardware fairly easily, I must say I wasn’t immediately blown away with the performance. However, your optimisation tips here have raised the bar so much. I’ve already shared this with friends to follow as it’s so good. Thanks again HC-PEGASUS 👊🏻🤘🏻🏴
Good video. I had the same experience with the antenna that was already on my PC. You got a like and a new sub. Oh and as Im still watching the video, the part where you said turn off the headset before rebooting. Many of us long time VR people coming from Valve Index or HTC Vibe in my case, when you close SteamVR it shuts down the headset and controllers. This PCVR2 headset does have that issue where it stays on it seems. Another good point you made.
20:17 thanks for this, man ✌️ I was having issues with screen warping, screen tearing, these recommendations helped! Would you consider doing a beginners tips video for getting into UEVR? I haven't touched the mod yet, but I want to jump in soon
Absolute perfect tutorial AJ. A job well done. Very detailed from start to finish. Man I hope your channel flourish. You need more views and subs frfr 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@Pawnband yeah looks like a restock is coming in the next two weeks. So thats probably the schedule depending on sales. I need to buy I have yet to build a computer yet, for myself. I'm going to hold out till Black Friday to maximize my money but I"m targeting AMD R7 7800x3d with a RX7900Gre. Best value imo, I don't play flat games, so I don't care about Dlls or RT which vr doesn't use. I've done enough research, imo right now you're better off with pure rasterization power if you strictly play VR. The rx7900 is way better than a rtx 4060 ti for roughly the same money. It trades blows with the $700-800 rtx 4070 ti for way less and more vram depending on what you get. Ultimately it's what you plan to use it for. Lots of flat gaming or a mix, I would say Navida, for Vr only I would say AMD, unless you got funds for the 4090. I just don't see the value for the money with those cards, that's a big component. Happy gaming though, the more VR users the better.
@@Pawnband The 2070 yep you can get one for like 200 on the low end. Any card that has virtual link, psvr2 will plug directly into the card. So if you already have it you don't need the adapter. I don't have it, so I will be buying the adapter when I get the computer built.
Thanks for the tips on hags and steamvr settings. Now it runs mad smooth so much better than before. When infirst tried it i wasnt impressed but with all those tweaks damn whole difference thank you again!
Amazing guide AJ, thank you! Still waiting for my BT adapter, and this covers pretty much everything else. BTW, there was a suggestion of PCIe bluetooth/wifi cards with external antennas. Pretty expensive, but they seem to do the trick also, with tracking and pairing problems.
1st of all thanks for that tutVideo ;) It helps ma alot to setUp my psvr2 on PC, now I would like to try out the revice thing together with LoneEcho/LoneEcho II. It would be nice if you can do another video where you explain the revive/uevr thing a lil bit more :) Have a nice one my friend...
I've watched and rewatched this video cause I keep missing or forgetting something [smooth brain], but at least it's good for the channel! 👊 23:10- The folks @FPSVR had their app on Steam for "free" forever and not long after PSVR2 is able to be PC compatible they started charging for it. Guess they wanted some of that SONY $$$ and at $4 a pop, I'm sure they've made a killing.
on my 6700 non xt I turned off motion smoothing and immediately noticed a lot more jittering when sprinting in Blade & Sorcery. Turned it back on and that jittering was gone. So this might not be the best solution for everyone. So many great tips though man, thanks for the video!
Yeah I was thinking about mentioning that stuff like motion smoothing and repro and throttle might be useful in a desperate situation, but it just slipped by me.
Just got my first ever PC, a 4090, which cost me 3.2K. All for the love of VR. Grabbed my adapter yesterday, and I couldn't think of a better place to come than here for my 'How to'. Commenting pre-watch, lol. Hoping in 30 minutes, I'm gonna be confident enough to get cracking with ETS, Elite, and some of the UEVR stuff. Come on AJ, I know you got our backs. 👊✌️❤️
Great video AJ - lots here for beginners and mid level PCVR folks to jump in on. I always like comparing settings as I always push mine beyond what the pc is probably comfortable with, Trek 😊Scotty style - which is fine on some games and then I load up something like MS flight sim and the system reminds me!
Yeah Flying around NYC in the helicopter will humble you fast 😂 love MSFS though. And also I’m very fortunate to have iron VR legs so I like to stretch it too
I'm thinking of getting a laptop just to do pc VR. I don't want a tower pc since I don't have the space. I might wait for the next gen of laptops and get a top end One, I do need a new pc so this would now be the perfect excuse to finally get one. I had a pc 10 years ago and I know how much of a headache pc can be so I will hold off for now while waiting for laptop technology to get better. Just having a laptop dedicated to pc VR would be a better way to go since my main gaming is done on ps5. That said someone at Sony said psvr2 is a big part of their plan so I think the management change at Sony has been a good thing and we will see big VR games come to psvr2 because of the pc stuff. I might wait for a year and jump into pc again.
Having briefly tested my main games going forward on pcvr, this video will be a nice aid to have for my final stretch. I'm about to be hauling a lot of goods across Europe, blasting music for the long and very lonesome road.
Thanks for making a beginners guide! Clear and concise instructions and tips. If I do decide to get a pc for VR, this is the guide I’ll be using! Cheers 🍻
Coming from the Home Assistant world, Bluetooth dongles have issues with USB interference from the ports that they are plugged into. if you connect over an extension, they will work "Better"
Great video tons of great tips!!! I'm using the ASUS BT500 Bluetooth adapter and once and a while I will get a drop out after playing for a few hours but I'm not using an extension yet. Holding the PS buttons to reset them always brings them back so it's a minor inconvenience until I start with the multiplayer games.
Awesome and very extensive video AJ 👌 I doubt I'll be getting a new gaming PC any time soon, but whenever I do, I'll definitely check your guide first 😻👍
Absolutely outstanding, exemplary work that has been done with this video and the guy from VR Untergrund!! Thank you so much! - Many others will have to be measured against this! Please keep up the good work! 💙👈😉👍
thanks for the advice, have a hp victus laptop rtx4050 so hope it can run vr fine, just got the thing. not a pc guy so doing alot of learning and also making sure it goes smoothly when I get the adapter next month hopefully.
I was in the same boat, though I have a background in IT had to learn all this stuff from scratch basically since the beginning of the year, hopefully saves you some time! Thank you
Awesome! I was wondering why my performance was terrible using my PSVR 2. The super sampling in steam vr is set way too high automatically. Strangely enough I do not get the same performance issues using auto with my index. I wonder if an update to Steam Vr will actually see the PSVR2 as a native Steam headset eventually
My controller is messed up, it has very bad stick drift so im wondering if anyone knows for sure if you can use any other types of controller with the psvr2? Like the quest controllers or something because of the fact that sony doesnt sell them on their own which is ridiculous imo
Hi I’m trying to set up my psvr2 with my Lenovo loq 15 laptop, it has Bluetooth 5.1 on it. Do I still need a Bluetooth adaptor for my controllers to connect? My guess would be yes as the SteamVR app fails to track them while connected to the laptop and I get error code 109
Man i have a problem, i already plug everything back on, my app is crashing everytime i do something, and when i turn on my vr it says “updating firmware” i’ve spent two hours waiting for it. Idk what else to do, help 😢
my laptop with a 3070 started lagging heavily in the past months and I couldn't figure out why. I got a different headset and PC with a 4060ti and was having the same issues. so I figured it might be SteamVR. checked the settings. turns out the base resolution was set at over 3000 x 3000 per eye!!! got it down to PS2VR resolution and it runs perfectly now. if you're having latency issues I would recommend checking that out first!
4090 here and I’ve had rough frame rates since getting the PSVR 2. The quest link was way better, I’ll try the HAGs fix. Mainly dirt rally 2, WRC & ACC.
You have a new subscriber, your VT was really good and i enjoyed it very much. Seeing as you are so honest, could you please give me (in a nutshell) how good you think the PSVR2 really is in comparison with the other well known HMD's out there? I hope you read this... TIA if you reply. Yours sincerely Drew (UK) 👍🤘
Hey Drew! Thanks so much 😊 Quest 3 and PSVR2 have their strengths and weaknesses, but both are awesome, so it comes down to personal preference really, and you can’t REALLY go wrong. For long time PlayStation gamers that have a PS5, PSVR2 is pretty great for the nice OLED screen, eye tracking, comfort, haptics and adaptive triggers. But for support and features Quest 3 is better, it’s great and easy to use and can do a lot more.
Great video, a lot of nice useful tips here that I’ve missed with my own set up. I’ve just recently started playing Cyberpunk 2077 in VR via Luke Ross mod and it’s absolutely amazing (going to try uncharted 4 or horizon forbidden west next 😁). It’s nice you get so much choice with PSVR2 on PC but I do miss the seamless installation and plug and play nature with PSVR2 on PS5.
I'd love any help I could get, I'm so frustrated, and the Reddit wouldn't help me. I can get through most of the setup, until I need to enable passthrough to setup my playspace. The function button sorta works, but only during prompts. It won't enable passthrough, so with that, I can't set up a playspace. SteamVR runs, but I can't play many games, without a playspace set up. Whenever I try to do the playspace setup, it just leaves me in the SteamVR environment, and doesn't load in headset. I'm so frustrated, and sad because I was hoping to use this headset, after upgrading my PC recently. 😭 I have a AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, 64GB DDR5 RAM, and an RTX 4070 Ti. I've already made sure I have a DP 1.4 cable, and I checked to make sure it's plugged into a USB 3.0+ port. I'm at a loss and I'm tired, as I've spent 2 days now, trying to figure this out. 😓Thanks so much!
When I had a few issues with this part, it was 2 causes. 1. My controllers were losing BT connection after getting to this point, or 2. Uninstall, unplug and plug headset adapter everything back in, reboot, and start the setup with the PSVR2 OFF, and only turn it on once you get to the setup part that prompts to turn it on.
@@PSVRUNDERGROUND Sorry it took so long to reply! Bluetooth has been completely fine, in my experience. Controllers haven't lost tracking at all. It's just my passthrough won't enable for me to setup a playspace. :( What's even weirder, is I did some testing, and the passthrough works...but only when the PSVR2 App isn't running. The second I turn the app on, the passthrough stops working. I'm so unbelievably confused. I appreciate you taking the time to try and help me!
My screen in the PSVR2 is reduced to a small horizontal band in the FOV, almost like its in big screen mode. Tracking and movement translates perfectly though. Anybody have any wisdom on this? Thanks for the amazing tutorial too man.
You say you have a mid-tier pc. What are the specs of your GPU and CPU? I just bought Dirt Rally 2.0 on Steam, as it was very cheap. But I'd like to know what your graphical settings are for that game. I'm still trying to figure out what the best balance is between performance and graphical fidelity (I got a RTX 3060 OC 12GB). I'm noticing that if I set shaders to high, that's when slight stutter might creep up. Currently have set this to low (doesn't look as nice as on high ofcourse) and things like textures to high, but turned of stuff like god-rays and such. You said you can play games from the Meta Quest store? Can you also play games like Assassins Creed Nexus? Or Batman Arkham? Final question: what do you do with your Sense controllers, when you switch between PC and PS5? As it seems you have pair them again each time. Which especially in case of pairing it to the PS5, is troublesome, as you have to connect it with the usb-cable again. I'm guessing you also have the official charging station. So you know how bothersome it is to have to take out those charger pins each time.
When i open steam vr it says to press a on the controller.. they are connected because I can move my hands but. That's all I can do since there is no A button ... help please
You need to update the drivers for the TP-Link UB500. After you do, supposedly it works great. Though it can have trouble if your PC is under your desk or a little ways from the play space.
I did update the the driver for it and had the same issue, just with the opposite hand, lol. Had the extension cable near me n everything too. I think it’s a software bug. Antenna has been the best tracking I’ve ever had, like ever. So other than for testing I won’t do anything else.
Thanks! I started back in February not knowing anything about gaming PCs (though I do have a degree in Computer Information Systems, but PC gaming is much different!) I went kinda low risk and got AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and 4060 ti 8GB. The plus side to that is I had to learn how to squeeze everything I can out of it lol. When I eventually upgrade its game over.
Hey! Nice and helpful video. But isn't the native PSVR2 resolution 2000 x 2040 pixel per eye? I've set my Steam setting to this value and it results in great performance and visual quality comparable to what I get with my PS5.
I picked up a desktop pc a few days ago, i might just stick with the steam games once i get it all set up UEVR is something i want to look at eventually but i have alot to learn.
If I could have a do over, I would get at least an AMD 7800X3D, GeForce RTX 4070 ti Super, 32GB, and much more than 1TB SSD. Next best GPUs are 4080 Super and 4090 is the boss.
I'm not sure if I should really get this, I have a meta quest 2 and a vr game library that is almost 300 dollars, so I spent around 700-800 dollars on my vr setup, if I do get this I would also have to buy a decent pc setup probably around 1800 dollars worth of equipment, and even then if I do get the psvr2 I don't have a Playstation 5, and I don't want to get one either. And if I just use this for pc vr I'm not even getting the full psvr 2 experience, and then I have to buy the pc adapter and all that other stuff, in my opinion the main selling point for me is the foveated rendering, which is absent for the pc version. I want to get into pcvr but I don't want to use a meta headset, and this psvr2 would be my choice but the lack of the foveated rendering, hdr, eye tracking, and the controller haptics really makes me not want to buy this headset.
Tried some of these but my first time with adapter didn’t go so well. Constant studdering in headset. Not sure if the display port cable I had and gaming laptop only has a mini port so getting a better cable. Then controllers being dropped from SteamVR even though still connected in Windows. Ugh.

So glad I decided to keep it all together, thank you
Man let me tell you have been so frustrated with the set up of this but this video is the best on step by step I actually managed to use it on flight simulator last night thank you .
Hags was the big one I found yesterday and turning it off improved the performance so much for me.

Oh my boy on it! Appreciate the the help.
Wow I didn’t know the psvr2 headset was native at 68% on resolution settings! Thank you! This video was super helpful.

I turned off motion smoothing in HLA and found that it ran much worse for me and looks like 30 fps so I turned it back on and it is great again.
Props for the 68% native resolution setting. I don't know why but Sony or Steam decided that the default 100% is 170% supersampling.
Just got my first ever PC, a 4090, which cost me 3.2K. All for the love of VR. Grabbed my adapter yesterday, and I couldn't think of a better place to come than here for my 'How to'.
Commenting pre-watch, lol. Hoping in 30 minutes, I'm gonna be confident enough to get cracking with ETS, Elite, and some of the UEVR stuff. Come on AJ, I know you got our backs. 👊✌️❤️
Saving this for a later date, thanks a bunch
Great video AJ - lots here for beginners and mid level PCVR folks to jump in on. I always like comparing settings as I always push mine beyond what the pc is probably comfortable with, Trek 😊Scotty style - which is fine on some games and then I load up something like MS flight sim and the system reminds me!
Yeah Flying around NYC in the helicopter will humble you fast 😂 love MSFS though. And also I’m very fortunate to have iron VR legs so I like to stretch it too
Awesome and very informative video (also mostly applicable for other HMDs ;), thanks a lot!
works perfectly with 1.2 dp cable :)
Great video AJ, thanks for your help!
I'm thinking of getting a laptop just to do pc VR. I don't want a tower pc since I don't have the space. I might wait for the next gen of laptops and get a top end One, I do need a new pc so this would now be the perfect excuse to finally get one. I had a pc 10 years ago and I know how much of a headache pc can be so I will hold off for now while waiting for laptop technology to get better. Just having a laptop dedicated to pc VR would be a better way to go since my main gaming is done on ps5. That said someone at Sony said psvr2 is a big part of their plan so I think the management change at Sony has been a good thing and we will see big VR games come to psvr2 because of the pc stuff. I might wait for a year and jump into pc again.
Laptops are actually crazy amazing now. MSI will break your wallet, but they are basically high end gaming PCs in a laptop frame.
@@ThatRandomFastingGuy I am using a MSI Katana 17 with I9/RTX4070/64GB Ram and it works great for PS VR2.
Really great and useful video AJ, thanks for posting👍
Having briefly tested my main games going forward on pcvr, this video will be a nice aid to have for my final stretch.
I'm about to be hauling a lot of goods across Europe, blasting music for the long and very lonesome road.
Thanks for making a beginners guide! Clear and concise instructions and tips. If I do decide to get a pc for VR, this is the guide I’ll be using! Cheers 🍻
Coming from the Home Assistant world, Bluetooth dongles have issues with USB interference from the ports that they are plugged into. if you connect over an extension, they will work "Better"
Great video tons of great tips!!! I'm using the ASUS BT500 Bluetooth adapter and once and a while I will get a drop out after playing for a few hours but I'm not using an extension yet. Holding the PS buttons to reset them always brings them back so it's a minor inconvenience until I start with the multiplayer games.
Thanks homie, should be testing the Asus one with the extension soon!
@@PSVRUNDERGROUND Keyword Yet. Hahaha. Gonna buy one soon since they're cheap enough
Awesome and very extensive video AJ 👌
I doubt I'll be getting a new gaming PC any time soon, but whenever I do, I'll definitely check your guide first 😻👍
Thanks homie, looking forward to tinkering with Metal Gear Solid Delta in UEVR 😎
A friend of mine had the perfect 4.0. :)
That's a great guide. Thank you so much
Absolutely outstanding, exemplary work that has been done with this video and the guy from VR Untergrund!!
Thank you so much! - Many others will have to be measured against this! Please keep up the good work! 💙👈😉👍
Thank you 🔥👊🏻🔥
Thanks so much for this, AJ! You da man 👏
thanks for the advice, have a hp victus laptop rtx4050 so hope it can run vr fine, just got the thing. not a pc guy so doing alot of learning and also making sure it goes smoothly when I get the adapter next month hopefully.
I was in the same boat, though I have a background in IT had to learn all this stuff from scratch basically since the beginning of the year, hopefully saves you some time! Thank you
Awesome! I was wondering why my performance was terrible using my PSVR 2. The super sampling in steam vr is set way too high automatically. Strangely enough I do not get the same performance issues using auto with my index. I wonder if an update to Steam
Vr will actually see the PSVR2 as a native Steam headset eventually
Very helpful, thank you!
Thanks for the tips. Now just need to get the adapter back in stock so I can get it.
Very helpful! Thanks for Sharing!
Great to hear, thank you 😊🔥👊🏻🔥
Great guide AJ.
Thanks PD!
My controller is messed up, it has very bad stick drift so im wondering if anyone knows for sure if you can use any other types of controller with the psvr2? Like the quest controllers or something because of the fact that sony doesnt sell them on their own which is ridiculous imo
Thank for this AJ . Really helpfull
Hi I’m trying to set up my psvr2 with my Lenovo loq 15 laptop, it has Bluetooth 5.1 on it. Do I still need a Bluetooth adaptor for my controllers to connect? My guess would be yes as the SteamVR app fails to track them while connected to the laptop and I get error code 109
Man i have a problem, i already plug everything back on, my app is crashing everytime i do something, and when i turn on my vr it says “updating firmware” i’ve spent two hours waiting for it. Idk what else to do, help 😢
I had to turn off HAGS to get the PSVR2 app to launch, thanks 👍
Best tutorial I found !
What graphics card do you have ?
Thanks! At the time of this video, was using a 4060ti 8GB
@PSVRUNDERGROUND Thanks for your answer, looks like I'm a but struggling with the rtx3050 😒
Bit*
my laptop with a 3070 started lagging heavily in the past months and I couldn't figure out why. I got a different headset and PC with a 4060ti and was having the same issues. so I figured it might be SteamVR. checked the settings. turns out the base resolution was set at over 3000 x 3000 per eye!!! got it down to PS2VR resolution and it runs perfectly now. if you're having latency issues I would recommend checking that out first!
Love the psvr2 on pc,
Good job AJ!
4090 here and I’ve had rough frame rates since getting the PSVR 2. The quest link was way better, I’ll try the HAGs fix.
Mainly dirt rally 2, WRC & ACC.
Thx you helped me alot
You have a new subscriber, your VT was really good and i enjoyed it very much.
Seeing as you are so honest, could you please give me (in a nutshell) how good you think the PSVR2 really is in comparison with the other well known HMD's out there?
I hope you read this...
TIA if you reply.
Yours sincerely
Drew (UK) 👍🤘
Hey Drew! Thanks so much 😊 Quest 3 and PSVR2 have their strengths and weaknesses, but both are awesome, so it comes down to personal preference really, and you can’t REALLY go wrong. For long time PlayStation gamers that have a PS5, PSVR2 is pretty great for the nice OLED screen, eye tracking, comfort, haptics and adaptive triggers. But for support and features Quest 3 is better, it’s great and easy to use and can do a lot more.
Fantastic video, very helpfull thank you
Glad it helped, thanks for watching!
Great video, a lot of nice useful tips here that I’ve missed with my own set up. I’ve just recently started playing Cyberpunk 2077 in VR via Luke Ross mod and it’s absolutely amazing (going to try uncharted 4 or horizon forbidden west next 😁).
It’s nice you get so much choice with PSVR2 on PC but I do miss the seamless installation and plug and play nature with PSVR2 on PS5.
For sure, but the tinkering grows on you, especially when you figure things out.
I'd love any help I could get, I'm so frustrated, and the Reddit wouldn't help me. I can get through most of the setup, until I need to enable passthrough to setup my playspace. The function button sorta works, but only during prompts. It won't enable passthrough, so with that, I can't set up a playspace. SteamVR runs, but I can't play many games, without a playspace set up. Whenever I try to do the playspace setup, it just leaves me in the SteamVR environment, and doesn't load in headset. I'm so frustrated, and sad because I was hoping to use this headset, after upgrading my PC recently. 😭 I have a AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, 64GB DDR5 RAM, and an RTX 4070 Ti. I've already made sure I have a DP 1.4 cable, and I checked to make sure it's plugged into a USB 3.0+ port. I'm at a loss and I'm tired, as I've spent 2 days now, trying to figure this out. 😓Thanks so much!
When I had a few issues with this part, it was 2 causes. 1. My controllers were losing BT connection after getting to this point, or 2. Uninstall, unplug and plug headset adapter everything back in, reboot, and start the setup with the PSVR2 OFF, and only turn it on once you get to the setup part that prompts to turn it on.
@@PSVRUNDERGROUND Sorry it took so long to reply! Bluetooth has been completely fine, in my experience. Controllers haven't lost tracking at all. It's just my passthrough won't enable for me to setup a playspace. :( What's even weirder, is I did some testing, and the passthrough works...but only when the PSVR2 App isn't running. The second I turn the app on, the passthrough stops working. I'm so unbelievably confused. I appreciate you taking the time to try and help me!
Having HAGS enabled made oculus link super stuttery for me, no doubt disabling it will be good when i get psvr 2 lol
My screen in the PSVR2 is reduced to a small horizontal band in the FOV, almost like its in big screen mode. Tracking and movement translates perfectly though. Anybody have any wisdom on this?
Thanks for the amazing tutorial too man.
New freamware update headset . :)
You say you have a mid-tier pc. What are the specs of your GPU and CPU?
I just bought Dirt Rally 2.0 on Steam, as it was very cheap. But I'd like to know what your graphical settings are for that game. I'm still trying to figure out what the best balance is between performance and graphical fidelity (I got a RTX 3060 OC 12GB). I'm noticing that if I set shaders to high, that's when slight stutter might creep up. Currently have set this to low (doesn't look as nice as on high ofcourse) and things like textures to high, but turned of stuff like god-rays and such.
You said you can play games from the Meta Quest store? Can you also play games like Assassins Creed Nexus? Or Batman Arkham?
Final question: what do you do with your Sense controllers, when you switch between PC and PS5? As it seems you have pair them again each time. Which especially in case of pairing it to the PS5, is troublesome, as you have to connect it with the usb-cable again. I'm guessing you also have the official charging station. So you know how bothersome it is to have to take out those charger pins each time.
Have you tried Body Cam in Flat2VR injector thingy me bob? I really wanna play it lol
Hello my friend nice video... I have only high performance on power plan. How I can make to appear the option ultimate performance?
Amazing video!
Thank you HLN 😊
@psvrunderground can you post a link amazon or other, concerning your antenna please? thx
Honestly I just used a wifi/bluetooth antenna I found laying around and it worked perfectly.
When i open steam vr it says to press a on the controller.. they are connected because I can move my hands but. That's all I can do since there is no A button ... help please
You need to update the drivers for the TP-Link UB500. After you do, supposedly it works great. Though it can have trouble if your PC is under your desk or a little ways from the play space.
I did update the the driver for it and had the same issue, just with the opposite hand, lol. Had the extension cable near me n everything too. I think it’s a software bug. Antenna has been the best tracking I’ve ever had, like ever. So other than for testing I won’t do anything else.
Nice! awesome work on your research and VID!! I'm curious what your pc build is, which components do you use?
Thanks! I started back in February not knowing anything about gaming PCs (though I do have a degree in Computer Information Systems, but PC gaming is much different!) I went kinda low risk and got AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and 4060 ti 8GB. The plus side to that is I had to learn how to squeeze everything I can out of it lol. When I eventually upgrade its game over.
Hey! Nice and helpful video. But isn't the native PSVR2 resolution 2000 x 2040 pixel per eye? I've set my Steam setting to this value and it results in great performance and visual quality comparable to what I get with my PS5.
I picked up a desktop pc a few days ago, i might just stick with the steam games once i get it all set up UEVR is something i want to look at eventually but i have alot to learn.
@@CORNERSTONECITY777 congrats man! I have a UEVR how to/tips video coming soon 😊
What processor/GPU/RAM do you recommend for someone thinking about getting a PC for VR gaming
If I could have a do over, I would get at least an AMD 7800X3D, GeForce RTX 4070 ti Super, 32GB, and much more than 1TB SSD. Next best GPUs are 4080 Super and 4090 is the boss.
I'm not sure if I should really get this, I have a meta quest 2 and a vr game library that is almost 300 dollars, so I spent around 700-800 dollars on my vr setup, if I do get this I would also have to buy a decent pc setup probably around 1800 dollars worth of equipment, and even then if I do get the psvr2 I don't have a Playstation 5, and I don't want to get one either. And if I just use this for pc vr I'm not even getting the full psvr 2 experience, and then I have to buy the pc adapter and all that other stuff, in my opinion the main selling point for me is the foveated rendering, which is absent for the pc version. I want to get into pcvr but I don't want to use a meta headset, and this psvr2 would be my choice but the lack of the foveated rendering, hdr, eye tracking, and the controller haptics really makes me not want to buy this headset.
At the very least, I would just get a PC for your quest 2. It’s a very good PCVR headset imo.
Don't have the settings option of Steam VR home..lus some additional settings which I see in yours..Any update changed it?
@@Rayz4 see if there is a show advanced settings option, from the Steam VR settings only
@@PSVRUNDERGROUND Found them. Thank you.
Tried some of these but my first time with adapter didn’t go so well. Constant studdering in headset. Not sure if the display port cable I had and gaming laptop only has a mini port so getting a better cable. Then controllers being dropped from SteamVR even though still connected in Windows. Ugh.
I’m getting shit performance on a 4080 laptop. It should be able to run stuff like alyx on high right?
