Mostly here to kill time. Big fan of open source game engine recreations/source ports, firmware modding, Linux, and gaming in general.

  • Due it being like this since I got it, an intermittent issue, and a common issue online I don’t think it is the unit. Killing Oculus’ software and restarting it would occasionally get it to work so I feel like it might be that. I spent sometime reading Oculus Support threads and others shared my suspicions.

    My only other thought would have been my motherboard or power supply. My CPU, GPU, and RAM should be enough.





  • Have you heard of ProtonDB? It rates the current state of games and recommended fixes.

    Gaming on Linux has improved a lot over the years. It’s typically only multiplayer games with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) that you’ll run into major issues with. Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading but I think a lot of Bethesda games have easy work arounds and documentation.


  • Would you be down for playing with a mod?

    If so you could do The SomeGuy Series for Fallout New Vegas. It provides several more friendly and fully voiced quests.

    If you want to play Fallout 4 you could try Project Cartographer combined with Sim Settlments. That way you can fully explore all the neat unmarked locations Fallout 4 has to offer and not worry too much about settlement building.

    If you are stuck between Fallout 3 and New Vegas you can try Tale of Two Wastelands and bounce back and forth between the two.



  • I thought it might be a loose connection or a cable issue as well but I’ve tried reseating them and also using an externally powered USB hub because I’ve heard that can fix some issues.

    Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc

    Don’t you need Meta’s software to setup the headset and get your computer to recognize it?
