DSS in VR did get fixed in Update 5

Yes, free camera also got fixed. Luckily the "unofficial" VR mode still works on foot.
It’s still working for you? As in first-person, not the standard preset third-person views? I’ve been trying this morning without success - the camera was glitching into the ground at an angle on several attempts, and a couple of times I thought I’d got it - but the camera was actually positioned just above the character’s head (this may have been a “remembered” position from me using the newly-functional camera controls).

Still worked for me yesterday, but yeah, the position is slightly above the head now.

I've explored a star system full of planets nobody set foot on before, and crossed a few chasms on foot - it adds some tension when you don't know how much fuel is left in your jetpack.

Now that I think about it ... yesterday, my camera didn't react to me crouching - how was it before Patch 5? I honestly can't remember.

Yes, the cam is now "free" and above your head. I haven't tried crouching, but the head movement that was there while walking is now gone.

Honestly, I'll take that in return for the DSS and the free cam. It does show however, that VR on legs is possible, if you have enough hardware and a somewhat strong stomach.

I don't know how the game is made, like how and when in the proces the interface is composited on top of the rendered environment, but considering what has been possible looking at all the rest of the game, removing the grey letterbox seems far from impossible. Maybe just add an extra camera, being "first person view". Personally I don't do FPS on foot, so for exploration purposes (looking at the Universe), I would be happy with that.
 
Hi All, just back in after the #5 patch, using rift vr and oculus touch controls, but can't seem to toggle the comms menu any more, so can't select messages and wing commands, anyone else able to check this?
