Now this is how a "how to" video is supposed to be done. Straight to the point and not some dick that just likes to here themselves talk. Good job kiddo.
you actually only need a usb type c cable to plug into your computer in step 1 so no needing the link cable! just your android charger thanks for explaing that video tho! :)
Do not just wipe with micro fiber cloths, for best results fold the cloth and rub in a circler motion starting from the middle working your way out. just wiping up and down will leave streaks.
Note: you don't need an oculus link cable, use any usb-c cable (including the one that comes with your quest) and just plug it into your pc as if you were charging it. it's way cheaper, and the charger that comes with your quest already works as long as your PC has the usb-c slot on it.
mine doesnt :(( i sold my macbook 1 week before my headset came i didnt think of that now i dont have a cable/laptop to play games it was a 3000$ macbook pro 2019 or 2020 idk but it was new i sold it for 850$
The Mysticle did a video on how to do it with a phone. You do need an android one though. ( It needs to have a usb-c connector in it too so if you have one it should work fine )
@@irongiant2.0_yt66 wow, you could have saved enough money by Not buying an Apple phone over Android that you could have bought a cheap PC anyway? (not that you would need a PC as you can do this through Android)?
note: with some new quest updates the resolution change may cause visual bugs such as it only rendering a quarter of the screen or a really zoomed in view. people found that modifying the text scale and resetting it through ADB command fixes it. use this whole command, adb shell "setprop debug.oculus.textureWidth 2048 && setprop debug.oculus.textureHeight 2048 && settings put system font_scale 0.85 && settings put system font_scale 1.0" , while replacing 2048 with whatever screen res you want, can do the trick all in one go
Depending on how heavy the game you’re playing is upping the resolution will both use more battery life and might reduce the regular amount of battery life the more you use it so use these types of tips with caution.
Don't touch the 90hz feature in Sidequest as it will cause stuttering in some games, leave it default, for Population: One, 2048 textures, high on Foveated, turn of Chromic and set CPU level to 4, looks great and performs perfect.
@@plutozero Settings are still good for the latest POP:ONE was playing yesterday, just don't touch the refresh rate option, the game is much cleaner with my settings, and you can aim a little further without it looking like Minecraft on an acid trip.
Thanks man best setting for quest 2 in all, it's like turning the quest 2 into quest 2.5. I would recommend the battery strap for longer gameplay but in all these settings are great.
Here’s a good tip for people who don’t have the money to buy a link cable. If you don’t want to buy one, the oculus charger works as well! It may not be as long as an actual link cable but, it works good enough. All you have to do is just take the cable from the block and connect it to your PC / Laptop / Computer.
I was looking into it because it didn't work for me either. Seems the Oculus v35 update broke the texture options so we will have to wait, not sure when
Don’t change the texture resolution for Population One, this crashes the frame rate (the game uses dynamic texture rendering that lowers automatically for far off objects)
Just a heads up; when you were cleaning your lenses you used an up/down motion. DO NOT DO THIS! You will scratch your lenses and permanently screw your system! The lenses are striated like a fingerprint or DVD. NEVER clean your lenses in a scrubbing motion! Start from the center and work your way outward in a circular motion, lightly! For a more efficient cleaning, mix 1 part water to 3 parts isopropyl alcohol and 2 drops of dish soap.
Diamond that’s a little bit reassuring to hear. I will try your tutorial and see if it improves. It’s amazing they haven’t been able to make that sweet spot bigger.
I feel like the center is clear everything else is a tiny bit blurry. If I turn my head but look straight ahead whatever in front is crisp Don’t know if that’s just me or a prob with headset or lens
@@judd0112 yeah its the ffr, set it to low or off if you don't wanna have less res on the outside of the lenses. but ur still not gonna see it good anyways. in vr you move with ur head, not with ur eyes just for this reason
DUDE great explanation video, you gave quick and concise points and tips that were actually helpfull and you didnt have a 5 minute fkin intro like all the other videos iwas watching on this lol
Honestly find it ridicilous how awful recording with this thing is. I'm about to record my first long video today using the settings you've shown in your video Nathie so really hoping it works out! But when I first tried without any settings, I was shocked they force it to 4:3 and keep it at such a low quality, I couldn't believe it. And no way of recording in 4K unless, I guess, you cast it to the web browser? Which still dips in quality if your internet speed doesn't keep up 100% of the time xD
Go for it & do a time stamp for us . You can do it
10 місяців тому
I had made some changes on Oculus PC app. I've made graphics higher (not default dynamic settings) Should I reverse those settings if I'm gonna use SideQuest graphic tricks?
Why am I seeing no resolution improvements at all on my ocular quest 2 after updating the software to v49. I have also run SideQuest on my PC and connected via the bespoken cable and tried to improve the resolution etc, but again to no avail. I do know the connection is successful as I have been able to remove the need for a guardian. Yes, I have cleaned the lens and all the rest of the requirements etc etc. Can you help me, Please?
Is there a way to fix the quest 2 from switching back to default settings when it runs out of battery, restarts, or powers off? It’s really annoying that I need to keep plugging my headset back into my computer nearly every time I play with it in order to get back to 90hz, etc.
yeah, I understand. I believe that now 90hz is default so it should always be 90. you can verify this with OVR metrics found in the developer hub: developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-developer-hub-win/ ... but if you mean the res then yes, unfortunately, it's like this for now.
@@Diamond_VR maybe it’s the res then. I just notice that there is a noticeable lowering of the quality every time my Quest 2 powers off, restarts, or runs out of battery.
Looking at the thumbnail, if the screen is really that blurry and bad at its default settings… then all those UA-camrs were lying about how clear it looks… just saying
Any idea why in games further away always and even closeby sometimes everything look rly rly saw edged for me and in the basic housing/lobby where u are when u turn on ur vr headset it looks rly blurry in there for me?
I don’t think any of this is currently applicable. I followed all these steps and nothing got better. Best to leave it alone. Oculus must have updated the settings??
I think this is plain wrong. It says "gets reset when you reboot". That does mean, once you reboot, you loose the configuration. Not that you need to reboot for it to work...
I have a issue when I change the Res the quest Home Screen only shows up in the top left of my vision and everything else is black but once I start a game it fixes itself but the Home Screen stays this way till I change it back to default resolution
evrytime I change a settings the headset loses connection to Link then rejoins it . I also click on off headset but nothing changes even if I go to lowest texture size I se no diff?
I see no difference when I do it. Do you have to turn off air play to change the settings? After you make the changes can you unplug link cable and use air play? Can you shutdown sidequest after changing the settings and going to airplay?
Hi hope u can help I just got a quest 2 but I don’t have pc... but my m8 does and he has a quest 2 if I give him mine can he up all the settings on mine and will it keep them saved when he gives it back to me??.... and why is it set so bad out of the box and why isn’t it in the setting to change it if we want!!!

right, you almost have to "polish" all the streaks out with circular motions

Really? Is it stable solution?
@@mordavian it works the exact same, its just not as long as most link cables
Can u do this with any computer like a cheap chrome book not play but at least change the settings and resolution???
does the increased resolution done through SideQuest only work for SideQuest content, or does it work for everything?
Was thinking the same thing with SteamVR
@@ExplosiveTrees Virtual desktop/Steam VR is purely based on your PC but then the quest 2 hasn’t got as good pixel Gaddafi yards compared to a vive.

doesnt it lag?
@@ArezPlaysYT 2048 run fine on all games
@1:40 "This gets reset when you reboot" DOES NOT MEAN reboot to use this setting. It means this goes back to default when you reboot.
When you restart it gets RESET. It does not make foveated rendering take effect.
As an F&M alum, you got my follow from the hoodie alone. Great advice, too
When you close your vr all settings reset. You need Always Connect your oculus 2 to PC for change texture quality.
does this have any effect watching higher resolution videos x)

I bought a $6 10ft cable from Walmart that works just fine as well, gonna get a longer and faster cable eventually but $6 VS $80 for the official one?
POOOOOOOG THANKS, also I reccomend doing a tutorial on how to setup ALVR, because Virtual Desktop doesnt work for everyone.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll def look into it
@NesquickScoper8 yes
Not many people have wifi6 yet
@NesquickScoper8 Does it do something different than the software on their website?
Bro I just bought an oculus wnd you’re a one stop shop for everything oculus.
Do the settings get lost on reboot? some videos say yes, but if you have to reboot to take affect that cant be right?
Hey guys I did everything step by step. I can add games thru sidequest but resolution doesn't change
I was looking into it because it didn't work for me either. Seems the Oculus v35 update broke the texture options so we will have to wait, not sure when
@@whereta3097 thx for the information, I look so many ways to get fix, but its patched... Im too late 😭😭
My computer doesn't have a USB C port!😵💫 What can i do!?☹️😣
Will making changes in SideQuest make the UA-cam Vr videos clearer? Thank you.
Did you find a solution to that?
Don’t change the texture resolution for Population One, this crashes the frame rate (the game uses dynamic texture rendering that lowers automatically for far off objects)
Does this help the quality of VR videos watched on Quest 2?
the closer i get to the lenses the more out of focus the screens become, but i should be wearing glasses. waiting for my lens inserts!

The first video of yours I have watched. Liked and Subbed. Keep it up.
How do I get 90hz to work on steam vr games? It is stuck on 72hz
My sweet spot for focus feels so so small. It’s ever so slightly blurred. Does anyone else have this problem or is your resolution completely clear?
I feel like this could be normal... it's hard getting that sweet spot but it should be fine

Does sidequest work on pcvr too? Or the graphics are online on oculus native
Ur channel deserves so many more subs
What is the difference between this and using the slider in the oculus tray tool to turn up resolution???
Loving how helpful your videos are and YOU ARE SERIOUSLY FLIPPIN CUUUUUUTE!

I was thinking the same 😅
My laptop recognize the OQ2 but sidequest doesn't. What can I do to fix it? I really want to enhance the quality on my OQ2!
Might need to enable developer access to your headset. Try and google sidequest setup.
@@hungflo3271 Probably it was because I wasn't using a proper usb cable. Thanks!
Try the mobile phone version. Plug your headset into your android
I tried the sidequest way but it doesn't change when i press the button. uhh help?
I dont see any difference in quality when i change the Default Texture Size. Am i doingg it wrong i did as the video showed
do I have to keep the vr connected to the pc to make the 120fps, FFR and resolution work?
It's hard for me to do. I wish they had a resolution option on the headset. Hopefully someday they might update it, and give it a resolution option.

yea
I connected a quest link cable and it still won’t connect to side quest idk what to do

I figured it out U gotta turn on developer mode
Is there any way to save the settings so you don't have to do this every time you reset.
Will it also affect SteamVR games? Also steamVR has its own resolution settings, wont it interfear with each other? THX!
No it shouldnt it only affects the games being rendered on the quest
Señor Why Me no, you are able to change render resolution in SteamVR tho
I think this is plain wrong. It says "gets reset when you reboot". That does mean, once you reboot, you loose the configuration. Not that you need to reboot for it to work...
Wouldn't this overheat and destroy the VR hardware? Is this actually safe?

Hopefully someone already said this far down the line but re-read the FFR description, rebooting the quest resets to default....
You can do 120hz now
do you need a link cable because im just using a regular cable and its not working
i bought that cable off kiwi and it doesn't register as usb 3.0 but as 2.0
runs at about 300 Mbps
Is that cable just as good as the real one?
will this work with the included charger cable or does it have to be a link cable? my computer has a usb c port
yeah it can work with the charger cable
Does this only affect Quest games running natively or will this also help with SteamVR titles?
overall quest quality
Whenever I change the Texture size everything is black except for the top left corner which is rendering everything then

I have a burning question that needs to be answered. How bad does putting on the 2500 resolution affect the battery? If you know please.
