  • Download links for Go/Quest app on homepage

When going to the 'app' section of the website, it simply tells you to use 'DeoVR' when selecting Oculus Go. I've been doing so, but performance is horrible. Maybe the first 2-3 videos play smooth at 60 fps, and after that, lots of stutter/drops. Viewport stutters when looking around, and streaming at 1920p makes everything go 20fps. Close and reopen DeoVR every couple videos fixes the issue, but that's super inconvenient, and kinda kills the VR immersion (caching issues / memory leaks?)

I just found out through the forums that there actually IS a Go app. Finding the download links wasn't easy. I first found the dedicated Go app, which was depricated... Then, I found v88 of the merged Go/Quest app.. Installed it..

and guess what..

Perfectly smooth 60fps playback and streaming!! Viewport mode lets me look around without buffering, streaming 1920 is very smooth.. it's SO much better than DeoVR.

TL;DR: DeoVR is *** on the Go, please add download link for Go/Quest app on slr.com/app page!

Yeah, that's the post I came across earlier. Clear instructions, thanks.

Maybe when selecting 'Oculus Go/Quest' on the /app page, there should be a choice between DeoVR (easy and convenient) and SLR-app (advanced, but better performance). The 'performance boost' is important to mention IMO, otherwise people may think its the exact same experience (I know I did, and only found out by coincidence)

Update: It also uses less battery (DeoVR drains!) and I finally have the option to buy non-premium scenes 😉

Now off to family. Happy holidays!
