You might get dizzy while using the VR first few times, but it’s enjoyable once you get used to it.
Just bought a PS4 Pro with the intension of getting the VR headset for it later in the year, nice to know it can be used on the PC as well.

It's no match for a Steam Index, but it's a nice little extra. I used "iVRy Driver for SteamVR", to connect it to PC.

I even flown a SU-25 in DCS World with it!!! It's the only time, it made me a little dizzy!!!

and as usually with such a big update , lots of hotfixes, I've just suspended the update until it all settles down, looks like a lot of it to do with this Vulcan.


First it was open GL, now's it Vulcan :)

Yeah but when they nail down all the bugs NMS will be so much better running on Vulcan. Because overall it handles CPU/GPU operations more efficiently than OpenGL and DirectX. But tip of the hat to Hello Games for putting in the effort to integrate it.

I think I will be finally picking this up at Xmas, because everything should be stable by then. But it is looking good, I hope they have more space action in the game because that is rarely shown in all of the videos I have seen most of all them concentrate on planet side functions.

Wow its impressive to see Hello Games releasing 7 patches fixing issues since the release of Beyond expansion, amazing support there (thumbs up).

I've tried the thing. It is just not very fun for me.

I am not refunding however because I love that they supported VR.

Nope still haven't let download as I suspect I may have update the graphic card drivers and from past experience it usually more trouble than it worth.
