I finally get my new PC bits on Monday, so will start building it immediately. It's going to be dedicated to PC race sims. Due to problems I had in the past with installing stuff to try it, plus using the PC for non sim processes, I was constantly having issues with getting certain things working consistently.
The worst of these was VR; there were days when I literally gave up trying to get it to work and walked away from the sim rig. Other days it would work first time. Most days, it would take me five to ten minutes, a couple of restarts of either the game, the PC or both, multiple re-centering.....
Sometimes I would be able to use the mouse. Sometimes not. Sometimes the little graticule you use in VR to look at a button would actually activate the button, sometimes not. Sometimes I simply couldn't get past the Windows Mixed Reality screen. Those days usually ended badly,
Others resulted in the screen being visible, but the mouse cursor trapped in the top left corner of the screen. In those cases, even CTRL-Alt-Del didn't work, the PC would be unrecoverable and it would be a hard reset using the power or reset button.
I use a Reverb G2 which when working I think is brilliant. What I want is to load the minimum required stuff to get VR working without putting in any extras that will cause a conflict or any of those symptoms quoted above. I intend to use Win 10 due to some comments I have see about Win 11 and the G2 not being a perfect match
So what is essential, and what can be omitted?
