Tips and Pointers
We recommend charging your VR headset before you begin testing, it will require a full charge to last for at least 1 hour of gameplay.
Please ensure that you have a strong internet connection for the devices you will be using during this playtest.
Please make sure you are casting to the screen that is being captured by our recorder.
There is a preview window on Contribute that shows which screen it is recording, ensure your cast shows in this preview. (see the screenshot in step two for an example of this)
Please also ensure that if you have the recorder on the same screen, that you click on the cast browser window after you have started recording - This is so that we can see the whole gameplay window.
If the screen casting is interrupted between your VR headset and your PC, it will be highlighted in your VR headset. If this happens;
Pause the game
Go back to your PC
Refresh the Casting Webpage
Follow the same process to cast again as instructed by that page
Please make sure you follow the special instructions -You can always refer to these by clicking the option at the top of the Contribute window!
If you need to take a break for any reason, please pause our recorder on your computer and, when you feel comfortable, explore further.
We recommend setting an alarm or timer to ensure you play for the right amount of time, as we understand how easy it can be to get engrossed in the game!
Some parts of this title will prevent you from giving verbal feedback, and as such, you may receive an email after your session advising on how to improve your feedback, you can ignore this!
