Bad_Mojo 02/12/22 6:25:23 PM #1:	I ran the test already and it says my PC can run it just fine. But when I got the email it told me to make sure my Drivers were up to date, and I'm not really sure what that means. Do I need to do something if I passed the test? I already own at least two games that support VR, which is Table Top Board Game or whatever, and No Man's Sky. But does No Man Sky even work the the Valve Index? I don't think I saw it listed as a VR Support What are some cool non-games things to get? My brother said something about VR chat where you can just kind of walk around in cool locations. I'm looking for something run to do while I'm on my exercise bike or something like that. And finally, how many days does it take to download Flight Simulator? >_< --- https://i.imgtc.com/hQ5SuG6.gif https://i.imgtc.com/QrhAq36.gif https://i.imgtc.com/Yjov9DU.gif <cite>Bad_Mojo posted [p:962596241] in I'm gettin...

This isn't necessarily required, but not doing it increases the chances of newer or recently updated games misbehaving. If you have an Nvidia GPU, the easiest thing to do is download Nvidia GeForce Experience. It'll automatically check for driver updates for your card and let you download and install them when you feel like it. And yeah, Google Earth is awesome. You can go pretty much anywhere in the world and see it modeled in 3D. Street View is also there, though those are just 360 degree photos. --- https://i.imgur.com/vuNZ2wj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/WhoyEsl.jpg Come to the (un)official GameFAQs Touhou board. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1110- <cite>pokedude900 posted [p:962599336] in I'm gettin...

pegusus123456 02/12/22 9:03:06 PM #7:	Drivers are basically what lets an application and the OS work together. Most everything defaults to updating its drivers automatically, so you probably won't have to worry too much about it. --- http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

Bad_Mojo 02/13/22 2:00:37 AM #8:	Okay, got Google Earth downloaded! I guess I got a free Half-Life game as well.

pokedude900 02/13/22 3:48:58 AM #9:	Half-Life Alyx is an excellent showcase of what can be done with VR, though I'm not sure I'd recommend it as your first experience. It's very involved with its mechanics. Like if you want to reload your gun, you have to perform (simplified versions of) all the physical actions needed for that. Popping out the magazine, grabbing a new one from your backpack, sticking it in, and chambering the first round. All while making sure you avoid whatever enemy is in front of you. It feels great once you get use to it, but it can be overwhelming if you don't have any prior VR experience. --- https://i.imgur.com/vuNZ2wj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/WhoyEsl.jpg Come to the (un)official GameFAQs Touhou board. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1110- <cite>pokedude900 posted [p:962606994] in I'm gettin...
