Dang I just ordered a DK2, couldn't wait any longer... could someone beam me to September please?


p.s.

paid 369€, 11€ more than the actual conversion rate should be, damn you paypal :)

p.p.s.

Which is still a lot better than the 900€ I paid on ebay for my Sony HMZ-t1 way back a few years ago... so all good!

p.p.p.s

Anyone want to buy a slightly used HMZ-t1? Only half price! A steal at 450€! Do it for the nostalgia!

We just took the latest run-time onto a machine and it seemed to be "fine" with the DK1 + DK2 (but that was not an extensive test).


DK1 after I just installed the Runtime.

DK2 will be here shortly (Monday I presume).

It was in SBS mode when it fired up, I changed it to 'Off' so it went back to normal fullscreen, then re-enabled Oculus Rift (with Speakers) and it went back to SBS.

I switched to SBS and it stayed the same.

I then turned off the PC and went to work.

DK2 not working with ED

Have tried a bunch a things...

Extended desktop and Direct mode both have issues...

In direct mode ED is not "waking up" the DK2 so it is not usable.

In extended mode, I have gotten as far as rotating the screen and setting the display to secondary. ( This is how I previously got the Riftup screen working). I then exit the game and reload, but some things are off...

None of the res settings seem quite right (scale wise)
The head tracking isn't working
The image on the monitor doesn't have the warped / distorted (stereoscopic) look.

Is this known or should I file I ticket?

I feel for you, I reordered yesterday after canceling my first day order because I had some money issues. Now I have money again, but have to wait till September. :(

Well, at least some issues might be fixed by then. ;)

Seems like ED is not recognising the DK2... Ideally we would want it to pick it up in direct mode anyway so people can see the game mirrored on the desktop.

Not sure Michael is aware of this, as over on the bug forum he suggests that extended mode is working.

Maybe I'm not doing something right?
Posted over there too so will have to wait and see ...
 
That'd be amusing. I didn't see a patch this morning which would indicate the SDK was implemented.

Unless Frontier got the SDK earlier, or don't need it for some reason, how is the DK2 expected to work?

Not sure what is going on... Another guy is about to test it over on Reddit so will see what he can come up with. In the meantime I messaged Michael.

Also, have you updated the DK2 firmware? The email we got said to update it before use.
 
quick Q for the OR community - does the OR DK1 have a CE mark ? I'm guessing it doesn't as it's sold as a development kit rather than a consumer product.
