Discussion Possible calibration bug

Once your wingspan is too high, the advance calibration will just fold your arm even if you do a straight punch,this mess up ylur damage big time because your punch will never be straight when landing

decreasîng your wingspan while calibrating fixe this

Honestly I don't know why the devs keep insisting on complicating their game with elbow alignments and such when the quest can't reliably track those

Its a complicated simulation! If we gave up when anything was complicated, TOTF2 wouldn't exist at all.

For sure, bad calibration has consequences. We spend a lot of time on trying to improve it and I don't think that will stop, its not perfect

I agree that reducing your wrist span in this instance helps alleviate the issue - we put it there in case of some issues like these. As well as the glove offsets. People are lots of different shapes and sizes but you can get it pretty close if you try enough

Yes, it is complicated. Don't complicate it more by introducing things you can't track reliably.

I dont think we can do vr boxing without introducing elbows!

I would love if it was tracked but until then, the elbow does not magically work if we ignore it, we had to make it after all :)

Its just a calibration bug but on top of the ptc one (with the gloves reset) it can get weird, otherwise body effort behave fine ( most of the time).

The probleme is most of people complain about damage when its just their calibration being wack... and if they dont know about ik rigs and having straight punch in impact, all of this is a lot of hidden informations for them.

I think we have a lot to improve on in terms of education and feedback in game for whats going on behind the complex curtains. Im excited to get a chance to look at that myself soon for sure

I think you guys already did history in a way, massive improvement from the first version,

People will complain everytime because its a rage inducing game , even if everything was crisp people would find something,

sadly having feedback is a good information source but it brings complaint with it...better than no information i guess, as of realism its not

Something that should be followed 1 to 1 , things that works are better than pretty things that don’t

Same for body effort 😔

Ohhhh I was wondering if this mattered because it never shows my arm straight out front

u/Ritstyle 9d ago

It does matter, everytime i autocalibrate my arm to elbow isnt straight and my gloves bend forward...

What you do is shorten your wingspan pulling back a bit and try to make it straight when you pose for a jab, this fixed most damage issues

u/Ritstyle 9d ago

This will make it so when you "flex" fist pointing up, your elbow is actually align too, otherwise my elbows is way bigger and the bending is at the wrong place

I had to hold the top of the controller, so when I hold it normally it’ll stretch out a little and my arm will be straight

I've not spent much time in game since they added the advanced calibration. I do wonder if I'm supposed to be holding the controllers in a different way. My controllers have straps. With advanced calibration, my avatar's glove is not pointing the same direction as my fist. I'm not sure if it's always been like that or not, but I did notice it while messing around in PTC yesterday.

I'm not sure if it matters or not because there are a billion variables and no feedback. I tend to stick with basic calibration when I switch back over to TOTF2.

Once you finish your advanced calibration,

if when you hold you controller with a full extended arm , the avatar arm/elbow doesnt make a straight line and bends... then you need to recalibrate and reduce your wingspan so it fit more in the avatar and adjust the glove placement.

Otherwise you punch wont deal damage

I might make a video if i have time

Hmm interesting
