Quoting: slaapliedjeAre you getting that screen tearing with the Vive Pro that I'm getting? That's the only reason it's not working here.
No i have no screen tearing.the vive pro and sometimes my system freezes after a little while (like 10sec)

oh yes. i am really hyped.
what a shame you cant test it for us fellow linux-users, but maybe the linux-side of steamvr isn't yet optimized for the index. since i have the vive pro i cannot play on linux any more. the vive 1 worked very well (just one or two games didn't work well)
i am really hoping that the index will work again.

Despite the high price, the initial batch of Valve Index headsets have sold out on pre-orders

Quoting: Xaero_VincentHas anyone tried Proton for VR titles?
Yeah, most of games are running without a flaw for me
Beat Saber, Pavlov, Moss, Arizona Sunshine, Gorn, Budget Cuts, Zero Caliber, Superhot, RecRoom and Contractors all work for me (or worked last time i played them)

Nice.
Sidequestion: Did anybody managed to get the game Deadpool working? Unfortunately there is no entry in the Protondb for it.

Quoting: NezchanSo is this one actually designed with people who wear glasses in mind? As far as I can tell, every VR headset on the market so far treats that as an afterthought, which is weird given the sheer number of glasses-wearers, presumably even on the engineering teams.
From what I've heard the Vive always had enough room for glasses. I'm sure Valve will do the same with the Index.
I can confirm. My wife wears glasses, i head a vive running in my work for 2 months for testing, with a lot of ppl who wear glasses, there were no problems!
How is it on the ears? I, and a lot of other glasses wearers, have problems with headphones due to that.
Nobody complained. i used a vive with the audio strap addon, and now the vive pro. it fits, and the audio is good

But i should mention, that the vive pro doesn't work for me in linux. me and quiet a few ppl have problems with 100% on one cpu and a freeze short after start.
with the vive 1 though i had no problems at all playing a very lot games on linux (just the battleeye-stuff like onward didn't work).

Quoting: ValckBetter, yes.
Much much better than that stuff from the 90s.

Quoting: ValckMore affordable, marginally.
Marginally? When the Vive came out it was like 800-900€/$. The WMR headsets are already being sold for 200$.
Yeah but the tech of the wmr-stuff is behind the vive and not as precise. I would never buy this downgrade.
