About an hour at a time. Then I'll pop off and do something else for a while, then another hour, and so on.
That's the way I play on a standard display too.

Usually 1-2 hours, occaisonally longer, sometimes shorter if either RL demands attention (I can't see what the cats are doing on my keyboard...) or I am driving the SRV (that one still can give me nausea).
RL? Retired lifetime partner?
That would be every 15 minutes in my case.... just kiddingI was asking because I can imagine, I might be completely wrong, this to cause heavier eye strain than usual display work. It is sure different, but I remember we bought a TV in 2012 which had a 3D feature, and honestly, I think we watched 2 films altogether. The fishtank effect, eyestrain and overall feeling weird afterwards, the latter was clearly observable when we watched a 3D, Lord of the rings, in cinema. I would not like to drive 5 minutes later.
Of course VR is something different, but equally tricks the brain, and it is here that I wonder, knowing myself, how quickly I would be tempted to use that for longer, probably daily at the beginning.
Exemplary!
Ah - ok, never watched 3d TV on a screen. Yes, VR is different. But also yes, there are people who can't watch 3D on a screen. More work on the eyes - I really can't say. Right now, the main issue is still the low resolution (which should become better, as there are now higher resolution HMDs available - which unfortunately also require better GPUs).
Best advice I could give would be to try it out for yourself if you get the option.

You're reading my mind from about a month ago. Thankfully I didn't purchase a PC for Elite Dangerous only. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've played way more "Modding Skyrim" on this new PC than I have Elite Dangerous since I bought it
Would you like a screenshot or two to ease your conscience?
The resolution in the Rift when I bought it was horrible but the worst optical issue for me was the fact that away from centre of vision the focus was awful. Yes I know it is a function of the lenses but even if you got rid of screen-door from low res that off-centre focus issue would still drive me crazy, having to move your head to bring something into sharp focus instead of just moving your eyes.
In the end though what really made me sell-on my rift was the horrible feeling of having a box strapped to my face.
yeah ... on PC!
(f.e. EDMC) ... o7!EDMC f.e. has a transparent background ... so it can be opened and run in foreground when ED is running borderless ... o7!
Thanks for that!

This is pretty big folks, massive shout out to both EDSM and Frontier who seem to have put the console authentication in place. Hopefully this will allow us to use more third party apps in the future. [up] https://www.edsm.net Create an account and select the "console updater" in the profile...
Indeed, it is elephant butt leather!Cruel !
So if it all was made by the developers of ED how much time would that have taken from them actually making the game? It is like saying you need new tires for your Ford and have to go to Ford for them. Not a good idea.
No cruel is a kind of padded embroidery.Cruel !
