Haha! Forget the headcrab on Norman Reedus’ bonce, this is the real Death Stranding cross-over!
OK - updating my graphics drivers definitely seems to have helped. I had one more crash not long after I'd started and thought "uh oh, nothings improved" ... but then, after restarting it I had a solid uninterrupted hour or so and ... WOW. This is flippin' AWESOME. Valve have totally done it again.Just started today. It's great but ... is anyone else finding that it crashes a lot ... I'm experiencing some kind of crash every 10 to 15 minutes which I have to say is somewhat taking the edge off my first impression.
First thing I'm gonna do is update my nVidia 1080 drivers 'cos I've been hanging on to some stable but fairly old ones.
Thanks for the link - I'll give it a try tomorrow - I've been playing sitting down, but without any adjustment - it hasn't caused too many issues, but this looks like it will improve things even more.howdy..
I struggled (well, fiddled) a bit with this last night. You have to change a setting in the accessbilty option in the main menu. see the following page from Gamespot, might help...
Enabling Seated Options In Half-Life: Alyx
Interesting. How do I do that?I had a crash at the beginning and the my save was nowhere to be seen. I started playing offline because my Internet was acting up and played with steam offline the rest of the game. Did not have any other crashes or issues with my saves.

What would one expect the result of that to be? Better performance or better quality? Also - which "goggles" is that the native resolution for? Oculus? Valve Index?The game has a dynamic resolution scaling build in. You can add these to the game startup parameters in Steam to disable it:
+vr_fidelity_level_auto 0 +vr_fidelity_level 3
Level 3 = 1x scale (goggles native resolution)
1. Better quality, methinks?What would one expect the result of that to be? Better performance or better quality? Also - which "goggles" is that the native resolution for?
I'm still wrestling with graphics settings, trying to find a point where the game crashes less frequently. With a 1080 I'd have expected to be able to do better than everything on Low. Has my lovely 1080 really plummeted down the rankings to that state of Low resolution in around 3 years?
I’m running a 1080 with the game set at High (which it defaulted to on startup) - I’ve had one crash (just as I got to the Northern Star) in the 9 hours I’ve played so far. Also at one point had Alyx’s empty hands look like she’d been in a minor industrial accident, but a reboot cleared that up.What would one expect the result of that to be?
