Don't update Deovr on quest! No longer free to use Handy on your own scripts. Help?

Awe that sucks sorry to hear they pushed it. Are you able to roll it back?

Do we have to have a vr capable pc for that? My poor lil lappy I feel isn’t up to the task for that lol

I only have experience with the Vive and Index. However, it looks like it may be usable through something called SideQuest. Details on Whirligig and SideQuest on the developer’s website:

Unfortunately, you can’t pick your version on Steam. It’s OK though, I have Whirligig.

I know it sucks… but you got to try to scrap together those penny’s. You had enough cash for a handy but not enough to subscription? Not even a month or two? Look at it this way. We are investing in a company that is pushing the advancement of the handy and with a subscription you are still able to use ‘free’ user created scripts. I bought a year subscription because with the handy I am essentially simulating sex with 10/10 pornstars for 300 bucks a year. If you go out and sleep with an established pornstar you are looking at paying 500 and probably way more for an hour or two. I am going to buy a subscription to Czech Vr too ---- We have to support these people so we get more AMAZING content.

Don’t presume someone’s financial situation bro. If you have all those extra pennies to scrape together then go ahead and pay for my subscription or someone else’s that doesn’t have the disposable income that you have. I’m sure any of us if we had the money wouldn’t mind supporting the great sites that provide content but if you don’t have it then you don’t have it. Some of us support entire families already and don’t have the extra to spare.

So again, if you aren’t going to donate to someone’s financial situation and you are not able to help in this particular situation of running scripts then kindly go talk on another post.

Yes I bought my Handy two years ago, my quest at the same time as well but a lot has changed in the world since then. And I’m sure many people on here have been affected negatively in the pockets as well. Have some compassion or have a seat.

Oh sorry, that sucks. Possibly if you had it installed before though with the previous playability of scripts enabled then instead of picking a “new version” you can do a type of rollback to the previous version? I would assume since it’s on a pc there would be more flexibility to gain access but I could be wrong. I do know it is possible to do it directly on the Quest tho.

My suggestion, google and YouTube “how to rollback an update on Steam” or maybe “how to downgrade a program on pc/steam”.

I googled that for the quest and found a vid.

Let me know if that helps. :slight_smile:

The point is, I bought Deovr years ago and now functionality has been removed only to be put behind an additional paywall. I loathe micro-transactions, much less on a product I paid full price for. It would be one thing to simply promote the subscription service, but this is an obvious cash grab. No thanks! I’m happy with Whirlygig for VR.

DeoVR was never put on sale. It was always a free player

:joy:
I think you guys would have made a killing if you charged for it. It was unrivalled as the best way to view scripted
vr videos for years

I added it to my Steam when I picked up a bunch of other players (Simple VR Video Player, Whirlygig, etc) to test video playback back in 2018. My mistake on the cost. However, my point still stands about features being removed and put behind a paywall. It’s a good way to piss people off.

I don’t understand. You can get access to script syncing on DeoVR for less than the price of Whirlgig, But still DeoVR is the bad guy, even though the app itself is free.

No you did not. DeoVR has always been free.

Even with your local files, you are still using SLR’s server. That was my point.

And my point is you aren’t helping so stfu

I have to make sure other readers have correct information instead of the misinformation you give. So, I am helping.

You are SLR’s employee, aren’t you? This forum is getting sad, soon we will have posts where 4 SLR’s employees praise their service to each other.

It could be a good idea if people affiliated with services gets a flair like on reddit, or if it’s not possible maybe they could have their usernames replaced with “Username (Service)”, like “Rakly3 (SLR Official)”.

Man shut up!!! That is NOT what you were doing. There was no misinformation and you didn’t clear anything up! You’re over here talking about who’s servers we are using trying to justify the costs and all I was letting people know was that if they don’t have money to pay for the service then they shouldn’t update. But you are really pissing me off!!!

Get off my post with that bs. I’m trying not to get back to my violent ways but man you are testing me. Leave me alone and get off my damn post with with your unhelpful slr fanboy crap.

Like dude said, if you work for them and are trying to justify your charging for something that was originally free then make that clear like doublevr did. So we can judge you accordingly. Now leave me the fuck alone!!!

Or maybe I should just launch a campaign talking about your service!

Exactly, he’s just over here causing bad vibes in a place we should be chill and enjoying life. And he isn’t the swiftest because he doesn’t realize he’s annoyance is causing people (specifically me) to have an extremely negative experience with his company. Even when they originally offered their service for free and with no warning pulled that service away and forced it on it’s users. Not cool.

Hi.
I have bought script but can’t get the DeoVR player playing local videos to function with neither SLRinteractive or Haptics connect anymore. (I have a Android VR phone setup)
It worked up until a couple of weeks ago.

With the old SLR interactive app i can’t login anymore, that also stopped working a couple of weeks ago. With a newer app i can login but playing local videos in DeoVR won’t make the Launch move.

With newer SLR interactive or Haptics connect the app can login and connect to Launch and works in “manual mode”. But still no movement when playing local files in DeoVR.

I really need to have it working local cause slow Internet connection.
Sincerely A
