just did the Defense Grid 2 prologue, works amazingly! god damn!
So wait.. the DK2 still works on all the new stuff? Just update the firmware? I was ready to give it up as a lost cause once CV1 was released. Ohbaby,,,
Is there a way to install the lastest runtime without installing occulus home or bypassing the installer's drivers check? It says I need to update to the lastest drivers, and I already am. Tried lastest retail and lastest beta ATI drivers.
What card do you have?
hd5850, want to try Elite on the lastest runtime, I don't know if they still support run time 0.6.0 like before.
The DK2 just doesn't want to work for me. The Oculus app can see it, it just says "Firmware N/A" and there's no option anywhere to force an update. When I try running an app, it just starts in a little box on the main monitor and the Rift never turns on. Am I missing some stupidly simple step to get this thing working?
It's on, but it just has the orange light on it. If I turn it off, the Oculus app complains that it's not there until I turn it back on, so I know it can "see" it.. it just won't send anything to it.
Yeah, the camera light shows up when the Oculus app starts.
I got it to display in the window on my monitor, and it's even weirder now... what it's displaying is clearly meant for the DK2 (it's from the "3D Photo" app), and I can hold the Rift up in front of the camera and move it around, and it responds on the video, including both motion and directional tracking... but it won't actually send the signal to the Rift.
Edit: Seems like a cable problem of some sort.. the video keeps flickering in and out, and fiddling with the wires seems to help. At least I can get some of the apps to work now. Better than it was yesterday, at any rate.. hehe.
I know what I'm doing tomorrow. Very cool that that stuff works with DK2
Does anyone else feel the oculus home is placed rather far from your view? I feel like I could sit about 4 feet closer and have the store immerse me a bit more.
The higher resolution on the CV1 will help no doubt, but really happy with how well the software seems to be working with the DK2 now. Was a nice surprise.
