    Are they just using shitty headsets, such as the Oculus ones? I’ve never had this issue with HTC Vive OR Valve Index…

        there are pros/cons to each brand, plus there are tons of models across each product line. I own many headsets (index, vive original, vive xr elite, oculus dk2, quest 2) and honestly I can’t say any one of them is the best as each is unique from the screens (oled VS not), wired/wireless, full body tracking, standalone VS pc, comfort, etc.

        That being said, I personally go for the vive over quest as it has more accurate tracking (laser VS camera), full body tracking, better screens (OLED), and works better with steamvr.

        Plus as a VRChat user I can use vive advanced controls which is a godsend for expressing yourself in VR, other controllers just don’t have as much flexibility in terms of mixing expressions and being able to set intensity levels to each expression ingame.

        Depends if you look at the manufacturer behind it. But hardware wise, it is indeed better.

        I do think they mean the standalone vs PC powered.

      I think it’s more likely they made a game that was just poorly designed for VR, moving players when they don’t expect it a lot and the like.
