DeoVR v HereSphere

iddqd No this is untrue because the problem started immediately after the early mid december update to deovr. I also had used deovr less than a week prior and it was working at that time and there was no quest update in between. This was 100% that deovr update and you guys are ignoring what im telling you. This was before any quest update. I was using quest 2 at the time, im now using quest 3.

I dont really use any native quest programs. Mostly all PC. I like having access to everything on the PC.

doublevr I dont know about what code is inside it that would make you call it a copy, but from a user experience all that matters is it seeks literally 20 times faster than deovr and it has a crapload more features, hotkeys and so much more. Its telling that instead of improving your product to the level of HS which is far better you just say its a copy.

sylvan How did you use an older version of deovr? The devs here are telling us thats not possible.

ThorOfAsgard What it sounds like to me is as if someone stripped down an old car to its chassis and rebuilt it on the original chassis to something in a new working great condition with all new features... then calling it a copy.

ThorOfAsgard I'm not talking about the headset firmware, SDK is part of the app.
I got your point. Thanks for sharing.
Will do our best to catch up

SchnuppiLilac it's necessary for us to make sure people use latest version and to focus more on streaming experience.
We will make it less strict soon.

sylvan thanks for sharing. We will compare it to HS and see what we can do

fenderwq I tried downloading deovr straight to my quest 3 headset and yep it worked with none of the lines or low fps and it was seeking much faster too (even faster than deovr on PC seeked before it got screwed up, but still not as fast as heresphere on PC), However there is no way i would use it straight from the headset. For starters i couldnt use my headphones. Plus i really need to be able to see my desktop. And that doesnt bring up the fact that i couldnt watch videos saved to my computer in deovr.

doublevr This may very well be true - but if he/they are able to copy features "fast enough" and execute them better, that's going to be superior for end users.

Hoping Deo can catch up as has already been mentioned.

rerun119 lol

iddqd ok good

sylvan Well will you look at that. I did this and downloaded the version from november 2023 and it is working...for the most part. The frame rate is back to normal, the seek time is normal (still sucks), the jittery lines are gone. The only problem is it isnt letting me set/use most of the keys on my controller. It shows the windows mixed reality controllers. But other than that it works. I should have known this because i used to do downgrades to beatsaber when it would mess up my custom songs, but not in this exact way. I wish the devs would have told me this in january that a user was able to figure out. Cant downgrade? Just did... What a waste of time and they're so useless. If you cant figure things out in a reasonable time frame then give us temporary fixes like this USER just gave me.

Switched from virtual desktop to quest air link and now its detecting the right controllers and letting me set hotkeys. It also has the old functionality where im able to open another window with deovr open that i liked and they removed in an update. Seriously a waste of time they couldnt just give me this knowledge to downgrade. Did you devs really not know deovr could be downgraded in this way by downloading an old version from steamdb?

ThorOfAsgard Glad I could help you

Oh man now i can use deovr and heresphere at the same time so i can compare videos. Thats something i was looking forward to doing when the new super GPUs released and i upgraded from a 1080ti that wasnt powerful enough. Something i wanted to use the power of the new GPU for. But a month or 2 before those GPUs released SLR decided to release an update that screwed that up and made it impossible. Now the fix was this freakin easy. Too late now im not reupping. SLRs customer service sucks. This was such an easy "fix" (downgrade) that took 10 minutes.

doublevr Dude this is not local playback. This is streaming from deovr (from my PC to headset, but still streaming, not downloaded videos).

And in what way is streaming vs playing from a hard drive political? what the hell lol
