Virtual Desktop using any codec (AV1 runs best imo) combined with Steam VR, running games in OpenXR modes, with the PC hardwired to the router, the headset in wireless mode, works as well as any other PC VR solution.

I'm using an Oculus Quest 2 with a Sparkle Orc A580. Oculus Rift doesn't work as it doesn't officially support that GPU, but Virtual Desktop has no issues with it. Virtual Desktop is an extra $20 purchase, but worth it for its seamless operation.

Next patch, for sure! Right, EA??
February 5, 2025 at 1:01 AM
Welp, kinda fixed! At least it's improving.

Hahahaha noooooope, made it through Create-a-Sim but can't load lots. So uh, that's entirely game-breaking. EA, will you ever have a stable product on release?

Today's patch fixed TS1! Just getting (re)started now.

At the very least we could find 200 more followers.

My wife's Sims 2 Legacy save has been a wild ride so far! I'm glad people will get to relive how chaotic these games are compared to the polished but almost-idyllic gameplay of TS4. Still waiting on an update to get TS1 Legacy to launch correctly, though.

The PC I'm running it on has an i9-9900K and an Nvidia RTX 2080, not an unusual config. Pressure to hit the series' 25th anniversary must have put compat testing behind.

But! What is working is a largely untouched re-release with some modern amenities like #ultrawide support. Looking forward to the mod scene and more official improvements.
