I don't have the record stuff running in the background all the time, just start it (key combo) when I want and stop the same way.
Thanks, I gave that a try and, sadly, my HD6800 doesn't support VCE which is needed for the recorder - shame.

I would not call those bugs or even necessarily defects. I think I would put them under 'Requested Additional Features'.
I think a proper selection of resolutions cant be called an additional feature. In a similar vein not supporting one of the two major VR headsets is also a pretty major omission.

Yes I know that Jeff and Ivan dont have a Vive but its sold on the steam store as VR and most people wont bother to read that it only supports one of the major players.

Just watched the last few minutes, good scoring, you did well to hang on with only a few lives. It's interesting watching someone else's style, I tend to 'bull' a lot more and use the second of invulnerability from a pickup to bull stuff off to clear the playfield. I found that approach useful on 'Here come the bulls', if you look at my video at about 17:00 I bull the first two caterpillars of bulls whereas in yours at 21:25ish you shoot them more (and they are buggers to shoot). the downside is I sometimes try to over bull and find out I've run out of invulnerability and die.

Steady on. That comes across as pretty snarky.

As previously posted LS don't currently have any Vive hardware. They should be getting a dev kit in the new year and I'm sure if/when there's any news in that respect you'll hear it from Jeff or Giles in due course.

I just wish I could get the recording sorted, screen capture of GR Rev is almost pixel perfect, same settings but with this it's a nightmare ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09dYDZPTXH4

Wasnt mesnt as snarky. I was just stating it not being supported on its "home" platform is a concern. I dont have any foot in the VR camps but when people see a game supports VR they are expecting to be able to run it on the 2 Major platforms.

Yeah, PC people who forget how fragmented (and hard to support) all the different combinations of hardware and software is should just get a console instead. I'm sure some believe that game devs somehow have evey last combination of software and hardware to test on without thinking of not only the amount of stuff that would be, but also the cost 8O
