VR Giants

COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE!! My friend and I had separate issues, I will explain everything in 3 sections. 1. The VR portion: Running on a Meta Quest 3 using Steam Link, the game would refuse to open in vr, only opening in desktop mode at first. Eventually, by reading other reviews and discussion posts I realized I had to open the game and select the OpenXR runtime within the local play settings (unintuitive location btw. Make it a launch option in the games steam properties window like every other vr game). Eventually I got it to work with that, however it would lag to the point of almost crashing almost every 30-40 seconds (more on that later) 2. Friend's pass: My friend was trying to play using the friend's pass. I hate to dog on it, as not enough games have a friends pass to begin with so A for effort, however it does not work at all. He would be met with a "select openxr runtime" text and a box with arrows that do nothing. Once he clicked the continue button, it would remain at a loading screen infinitely and crash. Unplayable. 3. Coop: Eventually, we realized we had to use steam remote play that many discussion posts suggested. Got it to work, you have to give keyboard and mouse control as the host to whoever is joining your stream. However, the connectivity issues I talked about earlier made this entire experience a waste of time as the game is completely unplayable. Every 30-40 seconds we would be met with insufferable lag, progressively destroying the game that would either fix it itself randomly or crash both our games. This is a fun concept and we were seriously looking forward to playing it. You can see by my specs, my pc is not the issue. My internet is also good, 1 gig with fiber optic. The devs have done a great job at responding to tickets and discussion posts however with the most recent update being 13 months old, I think it is fair to assume this completely broken game is abandoned. Do not waste your money, you will end up just returning it.
