    Can AirLink be used for Epic games or does that still require Virtual Desktop?

    I have a few like Star Wars Squadrons and Trover, which I don't think can be added to the Oculus menu

    On that note, my Elite Strap has developed the crack. So much for the sorted production issues - it'll be getting fired back to them.

    How is this replacement process coming along?
    Just curious what the typical waiting time is for each replacement.

    Not a Product recall as such but something to be mindful of.

    It's in relation to the Facial Interface. ;)

    yup a few of us have availed of that a few posts ago... new one is much nicer, but when my Frankenquest is finally set up it should be perfect

    There's a new strap in town with a decent mount for a battery pack!

    It also seems to solve the issue of having the side clamps slide back with the halo strap as you can see in the video on AliExpress: (forgive the referral link Im on mobile and it's the only way I can share it easily, AliExpress share links are now referral links from the app)

    It's also available on the Amazon if you do a search for Jayol Oculus but it's double the price:

    I watched the arsenal v tottenham match a couple of months ago and it was cool. There's 4 different positions around the ground, I found middle high to be the best. You basically have a view of the whole pitch below you and a big screen above it showing the TV coverage.

    When crowds are back it will be better too as it feels a bit weird with the mpty stands at the mo.

    Sky Worlds are showing the Man City-Everton match today, so we should hopefully be able to see what it's like with a bit of a crowd.

    Do they have to have a specific camera set up in the ground they are choosing for the vr game or is it just using the existing cameras? Could they not offer match choice.

    I'll give it a go today just to see what it's like for a bit but I won't be watching 90 mins of a dead rubber game while Liverpool are playing in a meaningfull one.

    Yes, they need specific equipment to film/broadcast for VR.

    Yet another halo strap:

    Also, ForeVR Bowling looks like a Premium Bowling killer:

    It looks fun, but think the studio who made this paid him to do the video :D

    Yeah he said it's a sponsored video. Still looks great though.

    All it needs is a jukebox at the side which has a browser where you can play music to give it more atmosphere.

    Anyone got a link to a good cable for Link? I tried the included charging cable, works pretty good but I think quality could be better, plus the usb-c port on my PC is on the front and I read using rear IO directly on the motherboard is faster?

    So a decent high speed usb-c to usb-a cable? Seems to be a lot of misleading product titles on Amazon (big surprise).

    Amazon basics works fine for me https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Double-Braided-Type-C-Silver/dp/B07D7N96FL?pd_rd_w=oltke&pf_rd_p=4ddec28b-0bfa-4e76-822d-e17d334544a9&pf_rd_r=CDVHSR9PXK9TSCZWKQME&pd_rd_r=b5fcfada-38af-411e-ad7e-a6b3723e305c&pd_rd_wg=xIj9D&pd_rd_i=B07D7N96FL&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_m_rp_1_sc

    I use it with an extension: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01FQ88CE6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&th=1

    Works for me, but honestly I'd just do air link now. I bought a Wi-Fi access point with good 5Ghz speeds and that does the job just as well.

    Check your emails folks.
    I just got the Oculus30 code added to my account again.

    These are account specific and pretty random at the best of times.

    Think I'll splash out on ForeVR Bowl.

    I just got a 30% code as well. I have had a break from them in the last while, but it's a reasonably generous platform!

    Had an absolute blast in ForeVR Bowl tonight, played single player so far but it's so addictive I played til my headset went dead!

    They have licensed music too like Eye of the Tiger, The final countdown and Don't Fear the Reaper to name a few. The proper original songs. It really adds to the atmosphere.

    Notification in the app on my phone popped up the other day. I think it's the third time I've got free credit since I got the headset.

    does it appear under Notifications or just flash up on screen when you open the app?

    I never check the Notifications as it's usually just "Recommended" crap that I ignore, so it's possible I received a voucher and never looked.
