Struggling with extended mode now! My eyes seem to be the wrong way round!
Hmmmm. Googling.

My eyes seem to be the wrong way round!

Turn the Rift upside down then.

Well, fiddling around with screens and modes can be a bit of a challenge if that's all new.
My own setup, for instance, crashed OculusMinorescue and drove Giles nuts...

So, how's it going?

Had a break cos it was doing my head in !

Everything was working fine in direct mode with the OculusServiceManager tool running, but when I booted up later to have another play I can't seem to get it to work again! It says no device attached & oculus service not available.

I did not start to work yet "seriously" on DK2 (*) .. but I'll be on very soon ... you should notice/hear at some point a disturbance in the Force on the Universe the moment my swearwords will begin ...

(*) been busy with other things.

New SDK released which hopefully will fix the exact problems I've been having.

edit : Works a treat. Woohoo !!!!

There is an extra file in the downloads section too ... OculusUnityDemo.
It's the Tuscany demo will full 3d effects. i.e. Butterflies, running water, birds, etc.

Impressive !

Why they ()@*($*@()$ invented DX11 ? ... why they invented DX at all ? ... Why the setup gives me a weird err - I know, because I had DX9 too installed and I needed it - why the "debug" runtime of DX11 seems not to want to install/be present so I can launch/compile only in "release" ..

Here for the Nth time "N too many" I am re-doing yet-another-version-of .. time ago I would have felt like "I may learn something new" but today I feel like "oh yet another port of because someone has a different OS/machine yet I am re-doing the same things another time, next time they'll change the lib I'll do it all over again ... " ..

And then again "most new features of the new SDK" are all about Unity, some other engines and Unity integration I bet I'll get stupid analyzing little CPP projects ( probably just one ) and work my way out .. like I've done last time .. ( actually in fact it's not one .. it's TWO .. just installed the new sdk ) ..

Oh well .. I am not really so looking forward about DX12 as well .. it really is a rat race .. the only good thing is the feeling that "you'll know how to do it smaller & better & your own way".

Which is a thing I suppose.

Anyway we'll see what I'll take out this time, initially lot of fanculo I suppose ...

Ah, the blessings of being a not-too-early adopter...
Always nice when some others are a few steps ahead and remove all the traps...

Runtime 0.4.1 installed.
Still waiting for the UPS car to arrive anytime now or later.

btw, did you install a new firmware, Bod?
I just read the hint at runtime Installation that there is one, maybe, eventually.

Ah!

Tuscany was my very first Rift experience (like it probably was for many others).
Really looking forward to repeating this.

[Dvorak]

It's there.

(and yes, I will shut up now for quite some time...)

Yes, install firmware as soon as it's all plugged in.
