After fixing a rather interesting issue with WMR not wanting to connect properly to my computer (which you can read the entire thing here in the General Blog), I’m in the Cliff House. And I’m seeing this new ‘Flashlight Mode’.
This I believe is to show what your headset sees (by using the controllers). And since it’s in black and white, no wonder why it’s so light sensitive.
Everything is displayed in realtime. Putting down a controller and extending one of my arms, I can see it as if I wasn’t wearing the headset. This is a really cool feature, and I can see why this would be insanely useful to me.
Best of all, when pressing the Windows button while in SteamVR, it no longer goes back to the Cliff House (and shows a window to get back to the game). Now there’s a small menu that comes up, giving the option to go back to the Cliff House or the other two features.

Now for VRChat. And if I was to put my feelings into a percentage, I would give it a 5% increase in overall smoothness. Being in a room with lots of people, my FPS doesn’t take as much of a dump as it did back then. At least, not to the point where it feels completely intolerable and I need to leave.
I’m still staying out of all public worlds.
Overall, I like Windows 10’s October Update more than VRChat’s. It’s the kick in the ass that WMR needed.
