    That’s why I basically dropped VR, and even when playing, I only played beat saber. Alyx was a very bad experience for me (mind blowing game, but not if I’m sick after 15 mins) and with that, every other game with movements (no mans sky ship is very bad)

      Which headset did you use? I had the same experience with my old Rift. Got a used Quest 2 recently and all my problems just vanished. I can even do smooth locomotion now which was impossible before.

      Might be worth checking out some newer tech in case your HMD was first gen

      Did you play Alex with the free movement or the jump to location? I can’t do the free movement modes but jump works fine. Similar to beat saber in that you are stationary.
