Quest 2, Virtual Desktop, and latency

[Doc Shades]

Hello,

Just curious how well the game functions wirelessly using VD. I learned in some games like Eleven Table Tennis it is recommended by the developer to not use it through steam based on the latency caused this way.

Is this a similar problem in this game?

I tend to agree with Elevens devs on this. VD is cool, but when it comes to games like this, latency could hurt your accuracy and response time. Though I know of some players who play it on VD and enjoy it, I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't have any other choice

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately its likes 2x as much on the oculus store. :/
Thats the big hold up on buying it there vs steam. But if you think it won't run well with my configuration that wouldn't be smart either. Seems like a lot of fun though! I'll be sure to keep an eye on it!

I am running on VD and I am getting some lag when i spin around and look behind me for the ball if i lose track of it. When I look quckly I get some lag. It might be congetsion on my network with multiple devices streaming video etc. I dont think it is my computer I have a Ryzen 7 and 5700XT

Thank you for the input!

I think based on your comments and the developers I will just put it on my Oculus watch list and wait until it has a price comparable to steam. Appreciated!

Actually, I just played for an 1.5 hours and played my first 1.vs 1 game and wow is it creepy cool to play against someone. It is just like they are in your living room. I am smoked. I didn't have nearly any lag when no one was on my wifi network. I started to get lag when family members started to make video calls and steam movies again. So, I would highly recomend getting this game on the Steam BF sale for much cheaper. Unless you have a house full of people on your wifi then pay more and play directly from your headset.

I am forced to run it in VD as I bought it on Steam but now I have a Quest 2 would like to start playing this game again as it really shines in wireeless and a great demo for selling VR :)

I decided to take the plunge with this version using VD because I thought it mad that it was £12.00 on Sale in the Oculus Strore but just £7 on Steam. I thought it played very well but that was only on Solo.
I really dont understand the disparity between Stores. I can only guess Oculus are aiming at the Facebook, just got their first Headset for Christmas, dont shop around crowd.

I would always go for the Oculus Quest version where possible but sod it if I am paying that much in difference

Dont forget you can always go for a refund if it plays bad on your PC/VD combo

I had no lag doing wirless with virtual dekstop

I played the demo with VD, no lags, it recieved few patches in the meantime and it gets better with every one of them.

Yep, it is available as standalone on the Quest & Quest 2 store, and it is possible to play offline
