Finally got redout to run, albeit with a reduced resolution and frame rate. Very fun but tbh all those fzero like twists kind of made me sick. I can see the potential though.

A new update was available last night. Too much hassle with Steam VR and I cannot shake the Vive recognition to the VR-Tek. The gamepad is recognized, but it is still looking for Vive controllers. It also messes up my desktop display settings. It is really comfortable to wear. Will try this again on Windows 7, and see if it is a directx issue.

The reduced framerate is partially to blame, but it will probably pass, just stick with it. Wipeout had me in knots the first few runs with all of the comfort options off, but I played a few runs the other day and didn't get queasy at all. For mostly healthy folks, it's just a matter of conditioning.

Just out of curiosity, which version are you on? I'm to the point I can't get mine to start anymore. Had me digging fruitlessly into SteamVR log files looking for the hitch-up.

One thing I noticed was that the Holo-Assist background app, which I assume is what does the translation, kept silently disappearing. Maybe it's just unstable on my system for some reason.

Howard_Casto:
Steam VR updated to 1.2.7 or something like that last night. The firmware and stuff is still the same. Whatever they did, things seem more stable now. What's been working for me, at least is you need to start steamVR up manually... let it do it's thing (which can take a while) and then start the games from within steam if at all possible. It also seems to work better if you have everything plugged in before you start your pc, which is annoying, but not the hugest deal.

The holo assist and holo launcher don't seem to be necessary. You need the assist app to update firmware, but other than that I just use steam and ignore those apps now as they are very unstable. I tried a few times to get non-vr games to run via the app but it kept crashing on me.

Howard_Casto:
Something I played last night that was way more fun than it should have been were the sega megadrive/genesis collections. Yes, those work in VR and while it isn't a 3d masterpiece or anything, the games play well and with the appropriate settings for fullscreen mode it really feels like playing on a crt in a darkened room. Also since you aren't looking around a lot the motion blurring isn't an issue.

I think I'm going to wait until the 25th it try to hack this thing and see how the firmware update goes.
