VR Setup

Valve Index / HTC Vive 1

Set the image quality in the SteamVR settings - general to: 100%

HTC Vive Pro 2

Set the image quality in the Vive Console Settings -> Display Settings to: Balanced

Set the image quality in the SteamVR settings -> general to: 50%

Multiplayer Setup

To support multiplayer game-play you need multiple Birdly's that are connected to the local network (LAN).

Multiplayer Mode:

Standalone

Standalone mode means: No Multiplayer. The High-score is saved locally or synchronized using an online service (available Q4 2022).

To enable "Standalone Mode" set the "Multiplayer-Mode" setting to: "0 = Standalone" (See settings below)

Local Network Multiplayer

This means Birdly's with the same settings will be able to play together if they are in the same Local Area Network (LAN).

To enable "Local Area Network Multiplayer" set the "Multiplayer-Mode" setting to:  "1 = Local Area Network Multiplayer" (See settings below)

Online Multiplayer

Online Multiplayer capability is planned for 2023

Connection Settings:

In order for several Birdly's to play together one of them must have the role of the "Server" while the others are clients. You can influence which Birdly does what in two ways:

Auto-connect (recommended)

To enable Auto-connect mode set the "Role" setting in the Birdly controller to "0 = autoconnect"

1. After starting the experience, the Birdly's will connect automatically to the first available server.
2. If no server is available, the Birdly which starts the Experience first will become server.

Manual Selection

To use the manual selection:

• Set the "Role" setting of one Birdly to "1 = Server"
• Set the "Role" setting of the other Birdly's to: "2 = Client"

After starting the Experiences the Birdly's will connect appropriately.

If no server is found the clients will try connecting indefinitely.

Note: Several important settings will be synced from the server to the clients. Which exactly can be seen below.
