Any info yet for Lone Echo 2?

[ElricOfMelnibone]

I know it just came out, but was wondering if anyone had tried it yet.

I tried using the latest version of revive and also the one before that. Using a reverb G2, 5600X and RTX 3080. Pretty much unplayable. I get huge fps drops and judders every few seconds.

The most recent version is dated July 2020, so i think a new version is needed for LE 2 to run well.

Damn... Good to know though--thanks for the info. I'm on an OG Vive, AMD 2600X and 1080Ti, so I don't hold out much hope of being able to run this.

I think its more of a software issue than hardware. The game isnt that CPU intensive, mostly GPU bound. People have run it with the Quest 2 with low/mid end GPUs.

But you where able to play. I can't confirm anything in the accessibility screen on first startup.. the trigger button doesn't work.

In Oculus world (at least Lone Echo 1 and 2 which I tried) for some reason menu actions are not confirmed by trigger button but by opening and closing fist. Quite inconvenient. Also boosters are controlled by clicking joystick button which is awkward as it is known to cause damage to Index knuckle controller. Wish there was a way to remap these actions to trigger buttons. UPDATE: as it turns out there is a possibility to create custom binding profile in SteamVR.

I can confirm Lone Echo 2 kinda works with Revive (but I personally needed to install this fork build https://github.com/ServError/Revive/releases/tag/2.1.1.134 instead of latest official stable to make game even launch). Disclaimer: I played just a few minutes as I don't want spoilers before completing Lone Echo 1.

I have no issues with G2 controls which makes sense because the button mappings are similar to the rift controllers. Only issue i have is horrible performance. The only way to play with 90fps is set everything to low and 70% steamVR SS, which is what iam currently running. This being said, the game is awesome.

I believe people have it working with the index by button mashing and finding a button that works. You can look it up on index forums.

I also tried this game witch Reverb G2 and the performance is poor. I have RTX 3080 and I7-8700K. On medium settings GPU load is 100%, FPS around 30-60 FPS but the worst thing is judders almost all the time. It is very strange, because Lone Echo 1 works well on max settings and FPS was stable, and new episode doesn't look much better than first one.
I figured out that changing shadows to high or enabling antialiasing causes catastrophic failure - game turns to slideshow :) Changing render scaling or using dynamic resolution in game settings has no effect.

Agreed. The first one with the G2 (at 100% steamVR resolution) was fantastic and possibly the best VR experience ive had to date. Iam playing LE 2 at 70% steamvr SS and all settings to low. Looks very poor in comparison and runs like crap compared to the first one. (i get 90 fps but a lot of judders/stutters) Such a shame though; FB decided to shut down PCVR on the rift and so you cant really talk to devs regarding this. This site also seems to be pretty much dead at this point, since the admin now has a full time job and is no longer working on revive. (the last version is July 2020, been more than a year now)

I wouldnt mind paying money to buy revive and run oculus games with good performance.

That's strange. In my very short test the performance didn't seem particularly bad/unplayable. And that was with 300% SteamVR resolution on Index, my default for BeatSaber and Echo 1. Will eventually try again.

Could be an issue specific to WMR maybe? I know guys with 3090/reverb G2 who run the game at 30-45 fps.

When comparing performance numbers please mention which version you are using. For WMR users it'd be interesting to compare the performance on OpenXR with the beta version against SteamVR. I provided a more permanent download location for the beta version and bumped its version number so you don't need to download it from weird forks anymore:

Hi, Iam using The latest version of revive (2.1.1) that only works with steamvr and use the reverb G2 (which also has WMR running in the background). I can see a version 3.0.0 beta version now, will give this a go. Any idea how this OpenXR one is supposed to be run? With steam vr, i open steam vr, then revive and open the game from revive dashboard.

Thanks for the help!

You can skip opening SteamVR, just open WMR and if it's not set as the default OpenXR runtime it'll give you a button at the top to "Fix It":

Then just launch the Revive dashboard on the desktop and start Lone Echo 2 from there. Unfortunately there's no in-VR dashboard for WMR so you'll have to use the desktop each time.
