Yes, that's why when I play L4D2 versus mode I don' t use itmm0zct wrote:Have you tried playing an FPS with the Hydra?
It Is but that's the problem with using devices like this or an HMD. If you give aim assist if not everyone is using them then you have the mouse players at a disadvantage instead. It's why they don't let console players play against PC players since without aim assist it wouldn't be fair on the console goers but if they did have aim assist then it wouldn't be fair on the PC players.mm0zct wrote: but when you have to compete against mouse players, it's a serious disadvantage.
It won't be too long before the problem is solved, I don't see why they can't make some kind of filter (hardware or software) to get rid of the jitter and not add too much latency as well. It has to get fixed somehow since you can't have a proper VR experience if your motion tracker has that much jitter and a lot of people don't seem to like any kind of hand tracking.mm0zct wrote:if they prefer to aim by hand like actually throwing fireballs, but be aware the Hydra can have quite a lot of shake, which could cause endless frustration.

Well see there's ya problem...MrGreen wrote: Maybe it's a Windows 8 issue...
Sucks.. A quick google search shows that it _should_ work for Windows8.. I suggest you see if someone on the Razer support forums can help you out. Or as Endothermic suggested, drop it on the groundMrGreen wrote:Bah!
Can't get it to work properly in any game. Tried the Razer drivers. Tried Motion Creator 2. No dice. I can get it to emulate the mouse in windows when I press start and the left/right calibration seems to work but nothing more.
Maybe it's a Windows 8 issue...
The default accounts in Windows 7 and 8 are not administrators. There's a separation between accounts with administrative rights (which will run programs with standard privileges unless "run as Administrator" is used), and administrative accounts (where everything is run with administrative privileges by default).Endothermic wrote:It would of made more sense if they named the "Run as administrator" command to something like "Run as Super User" "Run as uber god of computers" "Use me to run this" or something without "administrator" in it so that so many people wouldn't think "errrr I am an administrator
Try going into your steam settings and changing the download server and your internet connection speed. You should be downloading around 1mb/sgeekmaster wrote: EDIT: Okay, I tried registering with Steam. It seems my email address is already registered, so I recovered my username. I am logged in. The Portal bundle has no disk -- just a product code. The steam client is now downloading, with an ETA of 13 HOURS (on a 20Mbps connection). That sucks! I wish this thing came with a CD instead of needing to spend a day downloading it...
Find a download manager. They can allow you to resume from the 90%.MSat wrote:I'm bummed out that the Hydra doesn't even come with the drivers on CD, because my internet connection is painfully slow and unreliable. I'll spend hours to get to 90%, just to have the connection drop.
It finally completed. The 13 hour estimate was not accurate. It did take more than an hour though...Mystify wrote:Find a download manager.

When EQ2 first came out, it was 10 CD's and took me almost 2 hours to install before even getting to the online updates. Sooo... an hour isn't that bad. We need to hurry up and get 1000mbps internet though.geekmaster wrote:It finally completed. The 13 hour estimate was not accurate. It did take more than an hour though...
That 's the number of devkits soldMSat wrote:If the number of times V1.0 driver has been downloaded is anything to go by, then they haven't sold very many Hydras at all. It's around 13k.
yeah you need MotionCreator to create/import/modify .mce files and make new games "work" with your hydra (the easiest way is to download these files from Sixsense forum)langmyersknow wrote:Anyways, apparently you should be downloading the Razer driver from their website, but get the MotionCreator from Sixsense forums. Apparently it is better, from what I've heard.
First thing to do when you get the box : launch the download of Portal 2I've haven't actually tried it yet, will be trying it tonight.
The $99 hydra does not come with portal 2. The hydra / portal 2 bundle costs $139, and comes with a "product code" for downloading portal 2 from steam, after installing the steam client. If you already own portal 2, you can email sixense for a free "DLC pack" for your hydra.langmyersknow wrote:I'm a bit confused.
My hydra didn't come with any mention of Portal 2. Do I have to buy the game on steam and then download the extra content for the hydra ?
