Native Bluetooth on DeoVR not working as well as HapticsConnect

fizzknee

I'm using a Quest 3, and Vorze A10 Piston SA.
When connected directly to DeoVR it's a lot more convenient, BUT the motion is weird.
With the HapticsConnect, the motion is smooth. When using DeoVR direct for haptics, it's very jerky.
Like maybe DeoVR is telling it to go to a particular location as quickly as possible, and not sending updates quickly enough? I'm not sure.
Maybe HapticsConnect sends interpolated commands / adds extra intermediate positions?
I have no idea how the internals of this work, but it acts completely different.

Only took a year (and also sending another ticket) for anyone to read this.
This is partly obsolete now as they say HapticsConnect is no longer supported AT ALL for scripts (it still does work for "Manual" when using DeoVR).
But the rest of it is now even more important as it feels terrible. Kind of like the difference between funscripts and being punched in the face.
So lifetime scripts memberships mean nothing for you and get you nothing unless you're lucky enough to have a toy that isn't affected by this problem.
Wonder if refunds are possible.

Hopefully they actually fix this (Did they make both hapticsconnect and deovr? If so they should be able to migrate the code, or at least reverse engineer it/...) but I was given the standard corporate spiel of can't guarantee anything, will take some time, ... so no idea if any engineer will ever even see it let alone try to fix it.

fizzknee Hi there,
Is it correct that the issue is precisely the same as you described it in the initial post? Or did something change?

Do you still use Quest 3? What is the exact DeoVR app version?

Thanks for responding/asking questions.

Is it correct that the issue is precisely the same as you described it in the initial post?

Yes, precisely the same as described in the original post. (Trying to watch videos, using direct bluetooth in DeoVR to control Vorze Piston SA, while streaming videos sexlikereal.com/deovr; I believe also applies to Vorze Cyclone, but have never tested the direct bluetooth for that yet [I'll have to eventually]))

Or did something change?

Nothing changed with the issue, except the workaround is now broken.

I USED to have HapticsConnect as a workaround. But now HapticsConnect is not supported and cannot run scripts at all while watching videos on sexlikereal.com using DeoVR so now there is no workaround.

Do you still use Quest 3?

Yes, still using Quest 3

What is the exact DeoVR app version?

Version 15.1.3422

fizzknee Thank you for providing these details 🙏
They are very helpful in understanding the situation more clearly.
While we don’t have an immediate solution at the moment, we believe the upcoming Haptics Connect app will offer an even better experience than the previous version.

Are you saying that the new Haptics Connect version will actually work to play scripts while using DeoVR (streaming on sexlikereal.com)?
(As opposed to support for Haptics Connect being removed permanently?)

Cause if I can use Haptics Connect again I'll be happy. But I thought I was told it's permanently disabled even for new versions. There's been a lot confusion about it.
