Huh, that actually doesn’t look too complicated! I have no experience at all with anything like that but I bet my partner would be down to at least supervise (he’s an Electrical Engineer) so it might be doable :o

My hope was that I could just plug the frame into my dock and use it as a little standalone desktop with monitor and mouse/keyboard. I’ve been fiddling with a bit of VR game development these past few days and thought that it might be neat to write code right inside the Frames desktop (my usual IDE runs totally fine in there) so that it’s instantly accessible and I don’t need to upload or stream my code to the headset.
It’s not much of a problem to do that of course, but if it did work completely standalone it would be such a cool and simple way to let people try programming. I sometimes supervise student interns at work and making a little VR thing would be a super interesting task for them. - Comment on Has anyone managed to use their Steam Frame with an external monitor? 6 days ago:
oooh, that totally explains it, thank you so much!! I would absolutely have continued to fiddle with drivers for days and never realized that it’s a hardware limitation haha

Chiblee, Chiblee, they cancelled my favourite streamer Chiblee.
- Comment on [Frame] Minecraft VR on the Frame ? 3 weeks ago:
Ooh, saving the post because that will be the #1 thing that I’m doing once my frame arrives.
But my guess would be that adding your Minecraft instance to steam as a non-steam game and launching it from there might help. Also maybe give GDLauncher a shot? That has always worked best for me for MCVR (altough it has always been in a PCVR situation so far haha)
- Comment on Somewhat useless infos about the Steam Frame that I didn't see anyone cover 4 weeks ago:
Nice, I just completed the order for mine this morning! How long did yours take to ship? The page says 6-10 days, is that accurate?
Oh, and how well does the tracking work in the dark? As in, is there any noticeable difference between playing in a bright vs a dark room or are the IR cameras so good that you don’t even notice? :o
I also read a random youtube comment that claimed that you can do a mix of streaming and standalone on the frame - as in, you can stream a 2D game while also having a native browser window open at the same time. Is that true? Not that it’s some super big use case, but it’s neat that Valve would think to allow it haha

Minecraft!! I already have hundreds of hours in just Vivecraft with no extra Mods, but I’ve been really getting into the whole of Create Mod (with Aeronautics and Coasters Simulated) recently and those would be amazing in VR. My Quest 1 setup is really starting to struggle though, so I’m putting off a full Create + VR playthrough for the frame.
I also kinda want to get into VR Chat, I think. Just to try that whole “socializing” thing, see what the fuss is about.
Other than that, I’m fine with having a novelty device. I used to really like VR for studying since it forced my Adhd ass to keep the studying material in my field of view. But now I’m done with my education (and on some proper medication) so it’s not much of a use case anymore.

ooh I just got it!
ImageI’ll finally be able to retire my Quest 1 soon :D

Sigh, still no mail. I choose to believe that we’re just so far at the front of the queue that Valve doesn’t bother sending us the reservation mails because we will be getting ordering mails right away 😤

I still haven’t received an email at all. Getting kinda nervous :'l

Oh, interesting! Is it just the initial load times, or is there noticeable lag? Because the former might be fine, but the latter would be a total motion sickness nightmare in VR

You’d still be running the OS on the SSD (the smaller one is 256GB, that’s still plenty of space). As for whether SD Cards are worse, I have no idea :0 I know I’m running most of my Switch games off an SD Card and never noticed any performance issues, but Switch games really aren’t demanding enough to be a good benchmark I guess

Realistically, it probably isn’t worth it because you can expand the storage via SD Card either way (and it’s a lot cheaper, especially if you already have a good SD Card at home). But “I want it tho” is my reason for getting the bigger one too, so just follow your heart 🥹

Already joined the list for the 1TB model! 1.2k€ isn’t too bad imo, I was expecting to pay like 1.5k

Bold to assume that developers who use ai come up with any sort of original game mechanics.
