For anybody with the Q2 i highly reccomend not putting everything to max because it does make it look much better, but it also makes it quite choppy. I would reccomend 75hz refresh rate and 2048 textures, this is what i have mine set to and it still looks as smooth as if you have it on default
@@Tubularm8 You can ramp that up too if you want. If the game is choppy all you gotta do is turn the screen off then back on for the new settings to kick in. How smooth it runs depends on the game. All these settings works best for games that were made before the Quest 2 or games that aren't optimized for it. So keep that in mind if you made changes in the Home area. If Home runs terrible it doesn't necessarily mean the game you wanna play will too. Edit: Also increasing CPU/GPU levels will drain the battery faster than default levels.
@@Tubularm8 yeah, I think he left it at default. All of the researched tutorials state that you should also boost the cpu/gpu for smooth operation. The downside is faster battery drain so a battery pack is a good idea.
Remember if the lenses get fog when you're playing put in the included glasses spacer it will stop getting fogged up doesn't matter if you don't wear glasses it's a good fix
@@TheFreshPeddler i identify as the red bird from angry birds and unless you can find a solution for my sizeable brows and eyelashes that i use to fly i unfortunately have to use that glasses spacer
Pretty cool. Standing at the back of the hall in pokerstars VR I can now read (clearly) the time remaining on the spin. With the defaults the numbers break up as they spin around but at the 3072 level they remain solid. I will play some tonight to see how it impacts battery life.
@@suikasuika4157 yes and yes. It's worth doing for puzzle and poker-like games where the increased resolution can improve the gameplay but for fast-paced games it's not worth the reduced FPS. There are several options between the default (half) resolution and the max (full). I have not tried them to see if there is a good middle-ground.
This has screwed up my Quest 2. All I changed, was what you showed in the video. I changed to 2048. It put weird boxes around my vision. I switched to "default" which added black pixels in a pattern across my FoV. Then I tried 2048 again and the screen was almost entirely black. I reset the headset, because people said that the settings revert when it is turned off. Now my guardian is really buggy. While standing in the middle of it, it tells me to return to the guardian, and then it asks me to redraw it. I haven't had a single problem, since October.... I followed this video and now it is basically unplayable. I would strongly recommend NOT doing what is in this video.
Lol that's an insane difference. I couldn't bring myself to use the OG Rift for more than my first try of a few minutes. It was just so so bad. I then got a Gear VR and finally a Quest 2. The jump from Gear VR to Quest 2 seemed amazing let alone what you did Lol.
So you spend the first to minutes saying that "we should do this", but it is awesome "so we should do this", and a disclaimer because you seen someone else to this, but we gotta try this, so sit back because we will do this, you gotta do this. Concise is not your strong point.
It works for Quest 1, too. While you're changing the resolution on Quest 1 you'll want to also turn off foveated rendering. Also, if anti-aliasing is available in a game's settings, use it instead. It takes WAY less performance and achieves basically the same result.
@Lick My Hairy Legs It makes the edges of your vision lower resolution to save processing power in the areas you're not looking at, although I find the aliasing distracting personally, and it hurts my eyes, so I choose to disable it.
please learn about strain reliefs and start using one for your quest 2 usb-c port. Get some velcro and tie the cable to the strap. Use a USB-c extension cord and keep it permanently mounted. Then you can wear out the extension cable female port instead of the female usb-c port on the quest/quest2. Strain reliefs are factory installed on high end equipment.
Bro holt sh%$ thankyou so much this made such a big difference i actually thought I had a faulty unit because everyone was raving about it and how good it is.. meanwhile its my first vr headset and tbh I wasn't impressed even without seeing the earlier iterations, I couldn't handle the foggyness everywhere I looked thinking surely it should look 100x sharper But thanks much appreciated and subbed!🤙
Great! I'm glad this has helped. and btw if you see it foggy just use a micro glass cleaning cloth (like the one you would use to clean glasses) and clean the lenses this should make it look clean and better
Dont wipe the fog, just lift the headset off a bit and give a quick blow up towards lenses like you would an eyelash, just a blast...not a long hot breath. May also help from adjusting headset or silicone face cover as it can direct hot nasal air towards lenses. Congestion of one nostril can lead to fog the other side. That eyeglass extension should help at the cost of fov.
1. You will have to do this every time you turn off your Head set. 2. Choppiness and lag or even crashing can happen as a result of pushing it too high. 3. It should be set in accordance to your graphics card.
Huge problem if you could help me fix it, when I do this like only a quarter of the will show, even at 2048, and. Than I bring it back down to lowest setting and there black lines everywhere, do I need to restart oculus or just press the button once for this to work
is it because of the firmware updates that this is not working anymore?? My quest 2 is connected to sidequest pc but when i change the resolution and press the off button quickly twice nothing happens to the resolution.... PLEASE HELP . S.O.S
Quick tip, rub a little bit of dish washer soap on your lenses, leave it on for 1 minute, then wipe it off with a glasses cleaner cloth. NO FOG for 24 hours! Your welcome. 💙
Hi bud. In two minds if I want to update to Q 2.. seen allot of FUD online.. is the tracking the same or better as the quest 1? And graphically with what you have shown us does it make insane differences? I'm playing games like star wars walking dead dead house ect. Let me know. If I should upgrade or not...
Don't do it if you only play Wireless, your FPS will go down and your Battery Life will drain faster, do it only if you play PCVR also DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK people said it fucked up their Quest 2
My battery drains faster with these settings ramped about mid to low settings. I had them high and it dies in about an hour and 36 min. I got tired of having to fix the settings every time I turn the headset back on so now I just play on default, I've gotten use to it now.
Guys, maybe someone knows, which is the best video resolution for perfect movie watching at Quest 2? Some or my movies show pixels. So I wonder in which resolution should I download movies, 1080, 4K, 1400? Thanks
One question tho. When i do that i see that in games it goes laggy, To get better perfomance i sould hook it up to pc and play via Oculus Software windows?
No that would be using your PC to render everything and your Q2 just becomes a VR display like a Rift. This video is only talking about increasing the frame rate and texture quality on the standalone Q2. If a game is too large you can try bumping up the CPU and GPU power on the Q2 but it will drain battery faster and will not make a massive difference, so you will need to find the right balance of quality that still gets you a high enough frame rate and acceptable battery life. If you hook it up to your PC then this is all irrelevant and how good things look will purely depend on how good your PC setup is.
@@a-bootiful-mind6648 Yeah you need really good wifi. I'm using WiFi 6, 5ghz Asus AX-3000 router and a different brand AX-3000 pci wifi card in my desktop. It's only an old series 3 i7 but the GPU is a 3070ti 8GB. I know you are supposed to use a land cable to your gaming PC from your wifi router but it runs mint with no lag using wifi 6 in both directions. An Rx580 is probably a bit underpowered but should be able to run simpler stuff and at lower resolution etc. Even the 3070ti struggles and that's over 3x more tflops than an RX580 and ridiculously faster memory speed.
My usbc cable messes with the display in my quest 2 when playing steam vr it’s almost like it bobs up and down and clips in and out. Is this happening to anyone else or just me ?
No idea. But are you feeling like it's lime low Res. Similar to a 360p experience on a pc screen or phone? That's what I'm experiencing. And do you experience jagged edges on certain objects....similar to no anti-aliasing?
"Pay 80 dollars for a cable or 20 dollars for sketchy software" Me, who uses either a 5 foot long 10 dollar cable OR quest link (which is completely free) and get solid fps.
Hey bro, nice content ... I have a question if I may... I followed al your instructions from your video on augmenting my Meta quest 2 resolution...( I use Win10) Sidequest indicates connection and I can go to the "wrench" icon... so far all is well... When I rise my resolution to let's say 2560 Sidequest says "ok, done" but when I go to my headset I do not see any difference in resolution and the headset has the native blurryness... a bit frustrating to say the least... Any advice? I tried to give manual commands, even with Bugjeager ... but to no avail🙄
What cable do you need to plug it into the computer? Is that required for the update or can you update the settings wirelessly because it just confused me when you mentioned wireless hook up but then said plug in the cable
ok so there are two ways to connect quest2 to pc, wirelessly and cable. i think the easier way is with a cable, but you can do it wireless with the ip wifi connection thing I showed in the video, and once that is connected (and that it shows a greenlight saying it is connected) you can make the changes just like you would if you were with a cable
Question. It could be a stupid question because tech is not my forte. Do I need to keep it connected to my pc in order to get that higher resolution, or once I change the resolution I would be free to disconnect the cable and keep the new resolution setting?
will this work on other vrs like mind witch is vive cosmos for some reason with my vr i have i gess its called screen door effect and just like bad quaity i gess text cant be read in games its bad really bad and it didnt use to do that to me amd now its way worse i dont know why its like this for me it did it on my desktop and i thought maybe useing it on my laptop it would go away but nope i even had to ship my pc back for repairs i just dont know how to fix these issues i been haveing also its bad even with me in steam vr home not clear and screen door effect like stuff moving like lines or something

@@LORDGARMADON441 the link is obvously better, I'm just saying you can use the charging cable to connect it to your pc. you CANT play with it tho. so it was good that you bought it
Bro it doesn't help just to adjust some simple options on sidequest to get better performance, I have like had issues for some months now with bad performance and shitty graphics and even I set fps and reselution and everything nothing works and even I got a good pc and runned steam VR performance test and it said I could have graphics on high and even I play on potato graphics it lags and stutters
Def gonna check this out ASAP. I need to buy a cable to connect my quest 2 to my MacBook Pro 2019. Do you know what cable I would need for that? Do I need to buy Oculus’ $89 PC link cable?
look, if you've got the money then I would buy that. Otherwise, I think the better option is to buy a long cable A to C (comes with an adapter) that is a lot cheaper and does the same thing. People have said that cheaper cables like these compared to the $89 "official" one work just as well. here's one I recommend: amzn.to/2HuUG7K
Turning it up all the way is a good way to make your quest 2 run like ass🤣 mine doesn’t even render the entire home space most of the time maxed out and don’t even get me started on game performance lmao
I did this and noticed a difference in side quest games however, the main hub or environment is displaying both copies of the environment (one per eye) on top of each other only in my left eye. It's WEIRD. Do you know how to fix this? Also when I restart it resets all the textures and is it supposed to do that. Also why TF does oculus say nothing about how they aren't using the quest 2s display to its fullest.
A lot of it is just there so developers can decide how to prioritize quality versus performance. It takes a pretty beefy system to take a 2880 x 1440 image, composite it into 2 separate video streams (1 for each eye), and also to push a framerate of 80 or 90 fps/hz for each video stream. For example if you have a scene where there is very little motion, they could probably decide to crank up the resolution and detail, and if there was a drop in fps to say 75, without a lot of motion, then you would probably not notice as much, and the possibility of motion sickness is also probably less. Now if you have an action scene lets say, where you are surrounded by enemies and you yourself are also moving a lot, well they would probably prefer to lower resolution and detail, and try to keep the framerate locked at say 80 or 90 hz, not only for fluidity of gameplay but also to prevent motion sickness. For example, if you look into how Half Life Alyx works, the game engine automatically switches between 7 different performance/resolution/detail levels based on realtime gameplay data and feedback.
For anybody with the Q2 i highly reccomend not putting everything to max because it does make it look much better, but it also makes it quite choppy. I would reccomend 75hz refresh rate and 2048 textures, this is what i have mine set to and it still looks as smooth as if you have it on default

@@LORDGARMADON441 the link is obvously better, I'm just saying you can use the charging cable to connect it to your pc. you CANT play with it tho. so it was good that you bought it
@@Diamond_VR oh thank god haha, keep the content up btw
Isn't vr a little blurry no matter what ?
Do you think With trick in mind it makes the q2 a step up from the rift s since now it combats the iffy video compression
I mean yes, but this doesn't work with all games...
I agree but without agreeing
I’m trying to save up for one
How’s it goin lol
Video should start at 1:11.
Will this negatively affect the headset in any way
Bro it doesn't help just to adjust some simple options on sidequest to get better performance, I have like had issues for some months now with bad performance and shitty graphics and even I set fps and reselution and everything nothing works and even I got a good pc and runned steam VR performance test and it said I could have graphics on high and even I play on potato graphics it lags and stutters
Thanks.
Is this the same as going to the official Oculus Program from the PC and changing the rendering resolution from x1.0 to x1.7 ?
Will the settings stay on when you turn off oculus?
Can this affect the movie quality in cinema watching apps? Thanks
Why don’t I see the Refresh Rate option? Just goes from Sidequest Folders to Pavlov Settings.
Omg thanks
I’ve done this but my head set gets glitchy when I go back into quest 2 main menu like out of calibration so I gave up on it
Def gonna check this out ASAP. I need to buy a cable to connect my quest 2 to my MacBook Pro 2019. Do you know what cable I would need for that? Do I need to buy Oculus’ $89 PC link cable?
Use the charger cable to C port. If u dont have C port on comp use C and usb?
look, if you've got the money then I would buy that. Otherwise, I think the better option is to buy a long cable A to C (comes with an adapter) that is a lot cheaper and does the same thing. People have said that cheaper cables like these compared to the $89 "official" one work just as well.
here's one I recommend: amzn.to/2HuUG7K
@@Diamond_VR Thanks! I really appreciate your effort in this reply 🤩
@@sinan1337 oh yeah! Nearly forgot I could do that. Thanks 😊
use air link it’s free
Apparently the settings go back to default when you shut down, if you use it often just put it in sleep mode
yeah that's a good tip I should have mentioned
You can just use the charger cable that comes with the occulus
Turning it up all the way is a good way to make your quest 2 run like ass🤣 mine doesn’t even render the entire home space most of the time maxed out and don’t even get me started on game performance lmao
will this work with DCS (Digital Combat Simulator)?
I did this and noticed a difference in side quest games however, the main hub or environment is displaying both copies of the environment (one per eye) on top of each other only in my left eye. It's WEIRD. Do you know how to fix this? Also when I restart it resets all the textures and is it supposed to do that. Also why TF does oculus say nothing about how they aren't using the quest 2s display to its fullest.
A lot of it is just there so developers can decide how to prioritize quality versus performance. It takes a pretty beefy system to take a 2880 x 1440 image, composite it into 2 separate video streams (1 for each eye), and also to push a framerate of 80 or 90 fps/hz for each video stream. For example if you have a scene where there is very little motion, they could probably decide to crank up the resolution and detail, and if there was a drop in fps to say 75, without a lot of motion, then you would probably not notice as much, and the possibility of motion sickness is also probably less. Now if you have an action scene lets say, where you are surrounded by enemies and you yourself are also moving a lot, well they would probably prefer to lower resolution and detail, and try to keep the framerate locked at say 80 or 90 hz, not only for fluidity of gameplay but also to prevent motion sickness. For example, if you look into how Half Life Alyx works, the game engine automatically switches between 7 different performance/resolution/detail levels based on realtime gameplay data and feedback.
Hi, and how is performance with ALyx?? Stuttering, or is it fluid at 90fps? Thanks
