Star Wars: Squadrons was lot of fun with Oculus Rift CV1, HP Reverb G2 and is now much more with the Crystal!

[bigbangerz]

Star Wars Squadrons is a very under rated VR title imho, I think its always pushed the performance a little too far but with the right setup its really good.

I need to start again, never finished all the missions as well

I will also have to re-visit this when I get my Crystal. I played it but only finished the 2nd or 3rd mission. I dont even remember what headset I was using but I do remember it, specially the opening where your in the metting how blown away I was and how good the charactors looked and even out in space I was very pleased with the graphics. Will be running the Crystal on the 3080TI with a I9 9900K and in no time soon I can afford a 4090. :(

For me I was ok running at 45 smart smoothing reprojected to 90 to get even higher clarity. The game looks absolutely stunning at 200% ingame resolution and 100% on the steamvr crystal settings. Now I am running a 4090 so you probably wouldn't be able to get that high, but you might try at least some higher than 100 if you're ok with the reprojection.

Would like to see lone echo 2 in this headset as it's visually top draw. : )

[virtual_citizen]

Yes, Great vid . I had such an epic experience playing this in my Crystal . I pushed up the steam VR resolution slider to 150% with all settings maxed out, I'm running with a 4090 .It looked so good and ran really fluid and smooth at 90fps. I got my 4090 through good old PayPal over 24 months lol :)

Last time I played it was in the Samsung O+ and it was good even in that. Need to try it again in the G2.

[SURGNT]

Awesome vid! Mate glad u told me to spend more time with my Crystal, as I was seriously thinking of getting rid of it! I absolutely love it now, far better than my Varjo, VR heaven lol!!

I sure wish they'd make a full-length game like this! A modern TIE Fighter could be insanely good, with these sorts of graphics and VR.

Have ya happened to play the "TIE Fighter: Total Conversion" mod that you can play in VR? It uses the engine from X-wing: Alliance, and modders have put all of the original TIE Fighter game into that engine so it looks nicer, and they've also modded in VR to the whole thing. I've not actually tried it yet, but I have all the stuff downloaded and ready to dig into sometime soon.

I think besides visual improvements the main difference between the original TIE Fighter and this conversion/mod is that they integrated the "secret" Emperor missions from the original game into the regular campaign.

Time to start a gofundme to get Gary a 4090

I imagine this is a game that benefits greatly from local dimming.

I really want to like Star Wars Squadrons.

On paper it's a great title. It looks good, runs decent for me, has some production values.

In execution, particularly with VR, I for some reason struggle to operate it with my HOTAS (Saitech X52). No developer released bindings, fine, I can bind. Poor sensitivity settings. I can only get my HOTAS to be too sensitive, or under-senstive. Never can get it to feel just right like I can with any other title I've used. But more importantly navigating the menus and launching a mission doesn't work well with the bindings so I resort to fumbling around with a wireless keyboard. Point is, for me at least, there is a lot of friction to just jump into the game. Which has kept me from progressing with it.

Had this in my library for a few years, but decided to only play it when I have a high res Oled headset, so next year🤞

[LunchAndVR]

Awesome! Love Squadrons. How's the weight of the crystal? Does it feel heavy after a long playthrough?

[Johnnywankerr]

Waiting for a slim/lightweight version of this headset.

[KrisVandeVijver]

Squadrons is in my top-5 VR games and I'm thinking of buying the Crystal, and playing this game with the Crystal was already number 1 on my list. :)
I hope to play this with the crystal and, just imagine, sitting in a (working) Yaw 2 !

[Kamp.]

Nice games but it bother me that windows circle remove!!

[Stealth-Joh--]

It's a pity that there are no big mods,
I would love to play through Battlestar Galactica (old), Space 2063 and Freelancer as a mod.

Edit:
Maybe there are modders who develop something similar to Starfield,
after the VR mod, of course.

will the PimaxXR Runtime work, or do you have to use Steam VR?
