Title: Oculus APP or Desktop AH3 ??
Post by: N95KF on March 24, 2017, 09:17:27 PM
Should we be using the Desktop Application of AH3 we had PRIOR to buying VR, or should we be downloading the Aces High 3 Free app from the Oculus Store?  Is the implementation better or is it the same?  I'd like to run AH3 from Oculus Home, but I dont feel like changing all my settings if I have to delete the AH3 Win10 Desktop app I have now and re-download the Oculus AH3 app.  Know what I'm sayin??

If you do want to use the Oculus store one, go into your current one and save your skins folder, settings folder, terrains folder.
So you don't have to download all of that or setup everything again and once you get AH installed through the Oculus store just move those files back to their homes.

As far as SHOULD you be using that one? I can't really speak to that. I know there are some differences but I don't know if they really matter or if there are benefits.  I know the patch system doesn't require any user interaction which is nice, with the oculus version.

As far as the game goes, either is the same once you get into an arena.

The only differences are where they are installed and entitlement checks with the Oculus store.

Oculus app is a bit clunky.  Often you have to cycle through the clipboard up and down to get it to work.

I found it easier to use the regular ah albeit it is cool using the rift app just to slip on the rift and all things start.
