Stop coping already, it's embarrassing. VR isn't "changing" anything. VR porn isn't "changing sex", and FPV displays for drones aren't "changing war".

Listen, it's okay that we bought into an over-hyped and ultimately useless tech gimmick that was genuinely fun and exciting for a time. But it does no one any good to constantly try to validate it with this level of inflated importance.

No, it wasn't. I just bought one and still needed a Meta account. Where are you getting this bullshit, stop it

Great, more prohibitively expensive, feature-stripped, mobile phone based VR slop with proprietary app stores.

 

This information is shockingly hard to find, and redditors are as confidently, vigorously clueless and unhelpful as always.

A lot of VR mods for flatscreen games are pretty lazily thrown together, so it's on the user to configure everything correctly. There has to be a general recommended number for first person games on the Quest 3's display, right?

REALLY wish Valve would just upgrade their display. Would help if peripheral headset companies weren't price gouging out the ass for worthless gimmicks.

I can't even begin to explain why that is such a stupid fucking statement

Gross, "cinematic FPS" and "VR" should NEVER be used in the same fucking sentence. Whoever thought this was a good idea, you need to start listening to people and seek a different career path like you've definitely been told a million times before.

Looks like a false positive, but could you offer an explanation of what's being detected as "Trojan.Autoit.Wirus", what it does, and how it's harmless?

They go down frequently and are notorious for being riddled with trap files and malware. No one should be using the bay anymore. 1337x has the same problem now but slightly less than the bay, and a lot of domains are now honeypots. This guy probably read one post about piracy close to a decade ago and NEVER learned anything new after that.

lol, talk about a lack of standards

Oh yeah, that worked perfectly. That solves my Steam problem, so I think that combined with X-Mouse is about as good as Win10 users are going to do for this problem.

This does pretty much exactly what it should, and I like that it's just a set-and-forget, one-time-run thing. I don't know if this is just Steam, but Steam specifically is still pretty pervasive about yanking all focus away from whatever I'm doing multiple times in a row.

I tested by slowly dragging a window around on my second screen while Steam opened up on my first. Sure enough, three times my cursor just slipped off as the window came to a grinding halt and forced me to start the click-and-drag again, just to kick me off again until Steam was satisfied its presence was thoroughly announced.

I know this whole thing sounds like such a petty gripe, but words can't describe how absolutely aggravating this is when it happens regularly. If I ever worked with someone who behaved like this, I'd be going hands-on in no time and making sure they never come within eye-sight of me again.

 

For instance, if I'm opening a handful of apps that take a bit of time to start up, and then start dragging windows around to set up my workspace, each time an app finishes loading or a new window is created, I'll be yanked out of my dragging and forced into focus on that window.

I need a way to prevent these windows/apps from automatically seizing focus, it's REALLY fucking annoying. Steam especially will hog focus 3 or more fucking times in its startup process. This is such a stupid default function.

 

I recently acquired a new MoBo, CPU, and RAM kit to upgrade my platform for the first time in just about a decade. What I failed to consider until now is the near requirement of a clean Windows install after the upgrade.

I want to retain as much of my personal files, installed software, Windows and Explorer settings, etc. as humanly possible after the reinstall, WITHOUT retaining any files/drivers that could possibly cause performance loss and/or conflicts. I also use Classic Shell, if that matters.

On Windows 10 Home x64, and my current C: drive is a 1TB SSD, and I plan on backing it up to a 4TB HDD I bought for data hording. GPU and other PCIe cards will remain the same, along with a stack of storage HDDs with various media files and installed software/games.
