  • The software has seen updates that improve performance and address issues, showing a commitment from the development team to support the product.
  • The software is plagued with bugs and crashes, often requiring multiple restarts and extensive troubleshooting to get it working properly.
  • Microsoft's decision to discontinue support for WMR headsets on newer Windows versions has left many users frustrated and concerned about the future usability of their hardware.

    The stability of the application is generally problematic, with users reporting frequent software issues, bugs, and glitches that often require troubleshooting and restarts to resolve. While some users have managed to get it working effectively after addressing these issues, the overall experience can be frustrating due to the inconsistencies that vary by setup and operating system.

    • “On top of that, I probably spent more time troubleshooting software issues than actually playing anything, because this application is so awful.”
    • “Works although there are sometimes bugs and glitches; restarting fixes them most of the time.”
    • “After some troubleshooting, I got SteamVR to work. I must say I am very impressed, but it has its faults like the bugs and the tracking issues, although this can differ from your setup and OS.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate a desire for improved compatibility between the G2 headset and Steam VR, as users express frustration with the limitations of Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) and the need for better integration with popular gaming platforms. While the G2 is appreciated for its quality, there is a strong sentiment that it should function more seamlessly with Steam VR to avoid becoming obsolete. Overall, the narrative reflects a longing for enhanced support and functionality in the VR ecosystem.

    • “Most games are meant for Vive and Quest 2.”
    • “Maybe you guys are just having a bad day and complain about the tracking of inside-out tracking, especially on the first-gen WMR. I gotta be dead honest, of course the Oculus Quest 2 or Oculus Rift S is better in tracking because it's also newer.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the application heavily relies on intrusive advertisements that detract from the user experience, with users expressing frustration over irrelevant ads and a lack of meaningful promotions for the product itself. Additionally, the high price point of associated hardware, like the HTC Cosmos, further alienates potential buyers, suggesting a disconnect between the ads and the target audience.

    • “Once the application is launched, the first thing you see is advertisements for things you don't care about.”
    • “You have to close the advertisements repeatedly to show that you aren't interested in buying other stuff.”
    • “They really don't care about the HTC Cosmos inside-out tracking, especially since it's $700 and I've never seen any ads for it, indicating a very low user base.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The May 7 beta update has positively impacted performance for some users, indicating ongoing improvements in optimization.

    • “The May 7 beta update significantly improved performance for me!”
    • “I've noticed a remarkable boost in frame rates since the latest optimization patch.”
    • “The game runs smoother than ever after the recent updates, making for a much more enjoyable experience.”
  • gameplay
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users are experiencing issues with gameplay in Steam VR, where the headset displays a black screen while gameplay is only visible on the desktop monitor. They can see controller and head movements on the monitor, but the lack of visual feedback in the headset is causing confusion and frustration.

    • “Whenever I enter a Steam VR game, the headset goes black and I can only see gameplay on the desktop in a window. I can see my controllers and head movement, but only on the monitor. It's super weird; please help.”
