how does blade & sorcery run on a oculus quest 2?

[crew_cat_4]

hello im thinking about buying an oculus quest 2 and this is one of the few games i want but i want to know if it can run or cant run.

pcvr doesnt run on the quest, the pc runs it and then streams the video to the quest

Game already runs poorly if you don't have 2021 high end gaming pc and with quest you gotta run oculus app and steamvr and the game itself to play any steamvr games. So that's more work on your pc. I can only go up to 2-3 bots for acceptable performance with my 2060 and r5 2600, 16gb ram until game starts to tax my pc more and more as time passes.

i have a 1660 super and a R5 3600 (modified to 12 cores) and it runs just fine with 5 bots
with medium settings at 90 fps.


btw the game is very cpu based not gpu

Wireless play with Virtual Desktop on the Quest 2 is the way.

I play it using the airlink feature. I have an i5 7600k and GTX 1060 6GB and am able to run the game pretty smoothly with 5 bots.

I play using Virtual desktop on a Ryzen 7 2700x with a rtx 2080, 16gb ram and after about 6 people I start to have issues where the frames dump out, but otherwise up to 5 people and the lashing mod having strings all over the place I haven't run into many issues where the game becomes unplayable. Who ever said the 2021 high end gaming pc is pretty far off from the reality of capability of computers from just a couple years back. -.-

Ummm... LXIX is wrong. I have a FX8350 AMD processor that's literally 9 years old and an RX480 graphics card, and this game runs fine.

Good thing you didn't provide any details on your hardware. Obviously it works well on my 5600X and 6800 XT.

Not using Oculus Quest 2 (Valve Index), but i run a gaming notebook with Nvidia 1070 and quadcore i9, bought it 2018. Stuttering sometimes with 5+ enemies but i'm quite content performance wise.
I keep reading here about people with monster PCs having big performance issues, so i reckon you cannot really predict how good this game works on your PC unless you try it. Buy it from Steam (not Oculus Store), then you can try the game for 2 hours and then refund it if unhappy.

I run on quest 2 with virtual desktop, I only have a 970 and while it doesn't look amazing it runs really smooth. The only limitation is if u want to use really visually busy mods or maps with a lot going on.

My specs:
i7 4790 3.6ghz (not overclocked)
32GB ram
1TB SSD x2
Win10 / all updates, good optimization
GTX 1660 Super

SteamVR version does not perform as well as the Oculus Rift store version. I bought the SteamVR version first a month ago. Did extensive testing with playing and tweaking settings (version 9.3). Last night, bought the Oculus version. Massive improvement in gameplay with this version. The Oculus Runtime compared to the OpenVR Runtime (SteamVR) is night and day. I get at least 15-20 more FPS and it doesn't drop as badly when a lot of stuff is going on. With the SteamVR version, it gets really laggy.

I play via Virtual Desktop with a dedicated router (AX1200). Get great latency.

Citadel is huge on the CPU. The other areas aren't as bad. 1v1 works great. 1v2 is great. 1v3 is usually good. 1v4, 1v5 and 1v8 hit my system pretty hard. Even worse-- the anti-gravity spell, which I love to use... really taxes the system. But it's not too bad with 1v2 or 1v3 battles, especially in Arena, which is the smallest and least-CPU-intensive level (and honestly my favorite).

Recommended tweaks:
Set MSAA to Disabled (default is x4)
Set persistent bodies and weapons to 1 (default is 3 bodies, 5 weapons)
Set Physics to LOW (default is High). This makes a huge difference in performance, but doesn't affect gameplay at all.

Keep the battles small... and if you're on Virtual Desktop--
Graphics: Medium (or High)
VR bitrate: 48 to 90 (above 80 can make latency worse)
VR refresh: 90hz
VR framerate: 90
Spacewarp: off
Sliced encoding: on
Video buffering: off
Boost clock rates: on
VD Streamer (PC)-- automatic bitrate: disabled, HEVC encoding (graphics look a lot better, but latency can suffer)

Hope that helps!
