Can't see my iron sight

[Captain Weegee]

Hello guys, just bought my Htc Vive yesterday and i love it.

Pavlov (CS VR) was a must buy for me, it seems to be really cool but i have some trouble with aiming in every FPS games on the Vive.
Is it normal that you can't see (barely) the tip of the iron sight?(the small front pin)

For some tiny SMGs it works good enough but it is nearly impossible to see the pin on the rifles.

1.Is that normal in VR?
2. Does i maby wear the headset wrong?
3. Are my graphics too bad?

ps.: Im myopic and don't use my glasses (cause they are tooo big), but i do not think that is a big problem in VR.

1: Make sure the lenses are properly aligned with your eyes.
2: If you have the gpu you can use supersampling in the steamVR settings to make finer details more crisp.
3: It is more difficult to aim in VR than it is in normal "flat" games. Sometimes you just have to "feel" where to aim and not think.

Hope that helps :)

Thank you very much for the help!
But i think i need a better CPU first, i have problems with higher super sampling another problem is that my Vive slips a bit off when i try to close one eye, then i can only see blurry ♥♥♥♥ ^^...

What's your sepcs? How do you mean it "slips"? Having the top strap as long as possible so you can get the "crossroad" on the strap below the bump behind your head increases stabillity significantly with the crappy original vive strap - might be worth trying if you haven't.

That's not normal. You should see the pin easily. Unless you're watching it on low contrast background.

Well you need to set proper pupil distance and you need to wear the headset correctly. In the other words both your eyes should be in middle of the lense where you can see the sharpest image.

Do you meet recommended performance for VR? Did you run VR performance tests like 3Dmark or SteamVR test?

Headset shouldn't slip ever. Also you don't need to close your eye. In the real world shooters shoot with both eyes open, learn that too. You should invest one hour or so just adjusting the Vive strap. Try all combinations and adjust it to fit. For example it took me two hours playing with the strap to figure it out, but now my Vive is very comfortable and stable.

You should put your headset on your face and then pull the strap over your head, it should require some strenght to do this. Wrong way to do this is putting strap on and then putting the headset on the face, that's not the way to do it. Headset first, then check that each eye is in middle of the lense and then when you're satisfied with headset position secure it with the strap that should be firm enough to hold the headset in position.

Well my CPU is from the primeval times ^^, but it almost never disappointed me.
It's just it is to weak for VR i think.

My Specs:
Win10
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500 CPU @ 3.30GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
RAM 8.0 GB

The performance Test from steam shows me that im in the green(high) bar, but it tells me that my CPU is perhaps too weak when i open the software.
I have some jittering issues too, first i thought it was a tracking problem but i hope it's just my bad PC.
--------

Well yes ...when im closing one eye to aim my Vive get pushed a bit upward, i can't see throught the middle of the lens until i pull it down again.... ( cause musular tense like that http://cdna.allaboutvision.com/i/slides-warning-signs-kids/closing-one-eye-462x428.jpg)
Does someone have experience with the Audio strap, maby it helps?

(♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sorry if my english was a little bad)

Your cpu and ram (mainly cpu) are probably the causes for bad performance. VR games are more cpu intensive than flat screen games. I run with a i5 4670k @4.2GHz and that one also has problems every now and then :/

I hope so! I will buy a "Intel Core i7 6800K 6x 3.40GHz So.2011-3 WOF" and hope that will fix the problem.
Thank you for your help :)
