    Can’t imagine Finals in VR, that has to be motion sickness galore

      AFAIK The Finals doesn’t have VR. Think they strictly meant VR support only for No Man’s Sky.

    Cool! What’s VR on Linux like generally? I’d like to get a headset again, but not if it means going back to Windows

      It’s minimally functional, I’m dual booting for vr. It felt like there was a frame of tracking lag which got me motion sick in a static scene. I found a forum post suggesting it was a vsync timing delay that steamvr normally accounts for, but you can workaround by playing with numbers in a configuration file. I gave up there, but I ran into some other issues too.

      • Motion smoothing is not supported
      • It doesn’t automatically switch audio output
      • Base station sleep mode doesn’t work
      • Performance was generally worse than windows, pistol whip had regular frame spikes

      I’ve got the gen 1 vive and a 1070, so other headsets or better gpu driver compatibility could fix that.
