How much can levies vary between properties in the same estate in joburg?

I'm noticing on this offer to purchase that I have that the levies are about 35% higher than other properties in the same estate. Is it normal for levies to vary that much? This is in joburg.

Why does talemann RE mods (4 and 9) require vigem when other mods don't?

This isn't a complaint thread. I actually want to know. No other PCVR mods I've played required this. Why is this different? I'm always hesitant to give anything kernal access which the vigem driver requires.

Dumb question: why the issues with using the Mudi 7 in different countries? What's the difference between putting a sim in that vs my cell phone?

On paper, the mudi 7 is an excellent device for my needs. I use vpn travel routers a lot (slate 7 and slate plus). So having an even smaller one with added sim support that runs on a battery is perfect.

But now I'm reading that there are different region versions and for example the US version doesn't work well in Europe. Why is that? If I can take my cell phone to every country without issue and use a local sim then why doesn't that work with this?

Btw, I've never used a mobile hotspot and figured they just all worked everywhere. For traveling that would make the device useless for. I have no need for a mobile hotspot or vpn router in my own country.

Anyone have the RE9 mod issue where it's constant flickering and unplayable?

I decided to give the RE9 mod a try since there is hmd turning now. A few issues: the quest controller doesn't work but that's likely related to the fact that I have installed vigem. Why is that required for this game when it hasn't been for any of the other mods I played?

But the biggest issue is that the game is unplayable because of constant flickering and jumping of the camera. The opening cutscene played out without issue but as soon as it was time to control the character, the issue started. Doesn't appear to be game graphics related as lowering settings doesn't fix it.

I tried with and without the puredark files in the folder. I tried only have both openxr and openvr exclusively. Nothing fixes it. I'm using the re framework DLL linked from the mods page which appears to be an old one. But if I use the newest dll from praydog or the one included with puredark then the game crashes at launch.

Flatout VR is a major accomplishment, excellent game, and we need to support it!

Seriously, if this game doesn't do well then the VR community quite frankly doesn't deserve these excellent independent modders who are now putting out full games basically for the love of VR.

I just played for around 2 hours and it's fantastic, well optimized, above average VR graphics, super fun and chaotic. They just dropped a major update adding wheel support for basically every brand. (A bit sad but my bucket seats I ordered are a few weeks from arriving so I'm semi waiting for my entire rig setup).

If this game can get a healthy online player base that would be an excellent early Christmas present for someone like me who loves Mario Kart.

Seriously people, what more can we ask for from these individuals. Let's support this. And you get a ton of content for the price. When great games are released we really need to step up. Let's not pretend our VR platform isn't in the early stages of being on life support.

Anyone want to get together to play turtles coop?

Since there isn't a lobby I might as well ask some rando redditors. I'm available 8am to 5pm new york time. Would be nice to get a team of 4 and plan 3 or 4 sessions to complete the game from the beginning.

Turtles empire city having no multiplayer lobby is infuriating!

The mechanics of the game feel amazing. I don't know of any other smooth arcade style melee weapon fighter in VR (Arizona sunshine has melee but different feel). I played through the opening intro with all 4 turtles and it was great (except Donatello, the bow is just a boring ass weapon).

This game is made for multiplayer. So why the actual fuck is there no open lobby?? Code invite only?? Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? The high majority of VR gamers have friends who don't play VR. Someone should be fired over this shit. I refuse to play solo.

Completing Hitman missions in VR without aids is one of the most rewarding thing I've done in gaming.

This game is just fantastic. Setting the difficulty to professional, turning off the HUD aids and nav markers and then just going in and figuring it all out is one of the most rewarding gaming experiences I've had (probably only behind hitting lap times in sim racing). The only aid I keep on is the character markers that show threat levels. I don't know how anyone can complete levels with that off and not knowing who will see through your disguise.

Regardless, this is turning out to be top 3 gaming experiences ever for me. Big props to IOI for not abandoning the VR port. Sucks that not everyone can get it to runs clearly. Hopefully they fix the remaining issue for the people who have problems. The only reason why this isn't the best gaming experience ever is only because of the non VR interactions that are mixed in.

Reminder: Hitman PCVR is fixed and now amazing

All the years of waiting have paid off. This current PCVR version matches the psvr2 version. I get really clear visuals with no craziness with resolution or blurriness. If you've been holding out now is the time to play. I'm using quest 3 headset wirelessly.

But there are important options in the menu that you MUST turn off. Variable rate shading must be off and dynamic resolution scaling must be off. DLSS also off. I have the game maxed out graphically and steamvr set to 250% resolution in the setting (per game setting not universal setting) and running through VD godlike. Game is clear and runs at a solid 90fps (notice no difference at all compared to 72fps). Have to use community controller binding to enable pause menu though.

Game is amazing. I've played through all the prologue missions and 1 normal mission. And this game includes all 3 hitman games plus a shit ton of dlcs, all in glorious vr. Easily over 100 hours of gameplay.

Little nightmares vr is definitely worth playing although they must fix the vignette and run function

It deserves all the vitriol for the permanent vignette, no smooth turning, and in my opinion lack of option to toggle run. You can actually fix the second issue by using steam vr instead of VD and then assigning a different button for run so you don't have to hold the stick in. I also play vr games standing and physically turn so the only issue that remains is the vignette.

The game also starts off extra mediocre and has too many loading sections. But if you can survive the first 30 minutes or so the game does get really good and is a worthy entry in the franchise and a welcomed addition to the vr library. But yeah they really need to address those issues as they are running off potential buyers.

Talemann doesn't plan on adding roomscale to RE9.

For those like me waiting on roomscale, bad news as I saw a comment on nexus from talemann that he doesn't plan on adding roomscale. Oh well. Guess I'll have to give in and play it flat.

Need steam frame to play hitman since quest 3 requires meta app or active internet connection to play.

I fucking hate meta. For whatever reason, they have a lock on hitman pcvr. Can't use VD to play it unless you download meta app (not gonna happen). And can't launch steamvr app through Q3 without active internet connection on the headset (also not gonna happen).

Why is it only hitman that's affected by this nonsense. It's the only game I want to play that I haven't played yet. Need different headset asap lol.

Can someone call the president of Madagascar and tell him to lower the price of flights to the country lol?

I've been trying to get back to Madagascar a second time but damn those flights are crazy expensive. Currently in South Africa and it's still 800 round trip for a 3 hour flight. Insane that it costs me less to get a roundtrip from US to SA than SA to Madagascar.

The worst part about little nightmares vr isn't the permanent vignette.

Why the shit isn't there a toggle run option??!! I hate holding the thumbstick down! And since the character walks so excruciating slow you always have to run. I feel like my controller thumbstick will be worn down by the end of the game.

I think I am close to having a solution with my current hardware. My goal is to create an isolated vlan for PoE security cams so they can never phone home while I still get full access through home assistant and RTSP connection while tunneling into the router.

My biggest issue was that creating a vlan on my gl.inet BE3600 is troublesome and basically doesn't work. The next issue was that my main point of acess for everything is a PoE switch that is connected to the lan port. There is no option to configure the port to be a part of the guest network.

What I did was switch the configuration for the regular and guest networks (basically turning the normal network into the new guest network because that's what the ethernet port is associated with). In the firewall rules I disassociated all other networks and zones with the old lan (new guest) network. Output and forwarding set to reject while input set to accept. I use firewall rules to allow my phone and computer that is connected to the old guest (new normal) network to reach home assistant and access the cameras. I tested the lan port to see if it had internet access by connecting my laptop. It didn't have internet which is what I wanted. So it appears that I have successfully locked the switch inside a network without internet while having access still from other networks. I've also confirmed that nothing connected to the PoE switch has internet access.

Now my question is if I connect an Ethernet cable directly into the router's wan port (currently router is connected by wifi) would the lan port get wifi and kill my whole setup? Are there any other holes in this setup?

Does this option simply not work on gl.inet routers? I have both the slate plus and 7 and trying to create an isolated vlan with no internet that I'll just tunnel into through openvpn server to access things. But when creating the vlan, I simply can't activate bridge vlan filtering within the br-lan device. This is after creating the new device and interface.

I've read on different forums of others having an issue with this. Does it simply not work? I'm using the luci interface.
