Quoting: tomasjUnfortunately I am encountering bug with Hitman.
I am running Debian Stable and NVidia. Graphics is OK with no glihch, but control is unusable.

Even in menu, when I move with mouse it is flashing all the time. When mouse is steady, cursor will disappear.
Additionally for some reason game is thinking that I am holding UP arrow and LEFT key. So when I start the game, hitman is walking in circle :D

Can somebody help me?

Just guessing, but do you have a controller plugged in that might interfere?

Quoting: GuestThat's the most gimmicky thing I've ever heard of. A level that is only available to play for a certain period of time and only lets you try it once? How about no, and take back control over your own games. Glad I didn't support this. Publishers need to learn to stop ruining games with their gimmicks. Let us play them when we want, how we want, with no strings attached.

This would be quite some effort for a single play, so I'd guess it's not a new level, but a new task in an existing level.

Having only one chance to do it adds much to the excitement, I guess!

Quoting: bubexelBtw, my specs are i7-6700k and gtx 970.

My brother gave me his GTX 780 (same level as GTX 970 [External Link]) because he wanted to buy a new card for VR...

Quoting: Geppeto35it will be sell? If yes the amount?

I wondered the same and didn't find a price.
I guess it will be free. Or they take a little donation, let's see.

Quoting: TacoDeBossWell, under Windows at least, yeah, you'd probably gain 15-30 FPS in every game. Don't know under Linux, most people don't do CPU gaming benchmarks under Linux.

Why do you think so? AFAIK, most games aren't CPU bound in the first place and shouldn't profit. And those that are probably don't spawn enough thread with enough work for 6 or 8 cores...

Quoting: slaapliedjeI think I may have mine set up weird, because there should be ways to smoothly run and jump, but I didn't see the option for that.

I think the teleporting is how it is supposed to be! People get nausea from "being" a character moving aroung smoothly while their body is sending signals that it's just sitting/standing around. That's one (the major?) problem with VR.

Quoting: slaapliedjeThe focal point in the Vive (and from what I've read the Rift as well) is fixed, so you'll basically be as blind in real life as you are in VR.

Now, this is what I call virtual reality!

Quoting: TacoDeBossHaha, it's practically switched. With Nvidia, the kernel modules break all the flipping time. But with AMD, once you install Mesa, it's *installed.* It's not going anywhere.

I wonder what I'm doing wrong, then. Upgrades work like a charm.

Trouble is: I'm not sure replacing my Intel 3570K would actually speed up any game. If it does, I will strongly consider buying an AMD CPU.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI've played Serious Sam: The First Encounter for quite a few hours. I've also watched Titanic, Avatar, Amazing Spiderman, I Frankenstein in 3D / VR in the Vive. What was the hardware you were playing on, dropped frames maybe? I know if I get something that freezes for even a few seconds it's extremely disorienting.

I think it depends on the person and the actual game - and that movies are probably the least disturbing thing to consume with VR. A German games journalist and youtuber had 2 hours of shivering after a certain game (can't remember which one)...

Quoting: slaapliedjeAlso, I ended up getting a 6mm VR Cover, and got custom lenses (I wear glasses normally) and it seems like I can stay in VR much longer.

I wasn't aware of VR covers. Something like like this one [External Link]?
